What's the price you can get for U3415W ?
Last time I was quoted over 4K for U3415W, not in any universe I would pay that much money for it, given that X34 is just 200-300 ringgit more ( with 100Hz and G-sync )
*
best quoted price for the dell i got is 3.6k - how ah?

so about RM600 difference in price. Not sure worth it or not, depend on you  biggrin.gif 
BTW, DOTA2 on ultrawide is not impressive IMO, UI not fit properly, and character's shader looks ugly close up, so I end up playing Dota2 in windowed mode @ 1080P  sweat.gif
*
so hard to decide sad.gif

if ignoring the cost for now - you reckon the X34 is superior to the dell?

well, I've tried dota-ing on an ultrawide (that's the reason for the upgrade really) and it impressed me - so i guess different opinion there tongue.gif

If the choice is between the X34 and the Dell, I would go for the X34

thanks - so poisonous! i'm seriously reconsidering now XD - by the way, is an rx460 powerful enough to power the x34?

in b4 - i know my card choice does not support G-Sync

Just my personal thinking, I wont pay over 3K for that. Those in US can get it at 400-500USD after discount, that price I think nice.
*
for the dell? really? I was in NYC in July, Microsoft was having a discount and price was 799 USD - where to get 500? share some lubang lai

Checking for best price with my regular sos. Current RRP is RM4299 with free Predator headset

can you let me know the best offer you get too? I'm planning to get an X34A myself too, ready to pull trigger anytime, just no stock everywhere now. So perhaps we could together nego for even better price if we're getting 2 units at the same time? tongue.gif

it seems that you've got one more upgrade to do. Change to the Green side or else no 100Hz for ya.  laugh.gif your X34A will behave like any normal 60Hz screen. That's a waste of pawwaaa  tongue.gif

oh? only with nvidia cards I can get 100hz? bangwall.gif

yes bro. if not, it will simply lock to a normal 60Hz. 100Hz is enabled via the embedded Gsync module of the panel.

anyway, one upgrade at a time.  biggrin.gif  Pair the monitor with a compatible NV GPU and you can enjoy Gsync also. It isn't just about the 100Hz, for me the most important thing is it is Gsync-capable panel.

ahh, ok.. thanks for this info, yeah, 1 upgrade at a time as you mention. console.gif
