This one garage sales can get. Lowyat plaza also can get only if you ask.
Not bad for normal use.
Review from China : Here Use google translate if you cant read Chinese
I upgraded from a Dell U2312HM to this giant.
VX3209 is very very slim . However there is 1 drawback. It only comes with a super short power cord. This power cord is not the usual power cord that can be used with a common PC power supply. This is like those connected to notebook adaptor ones. 3 rounded pins.
I read some info about this thing which says it has FreeSync but apparently not. And it only supports 60hz@ 1440p although if you set to 75hz, it still work .

This monitor supports 10bit colour (8bit+FRC) and if you have an AMD Radeon or FirePro card yes it can make full use of the 10bit colour. However if you want a super accurate colour monitor , this is not for you. Look elsewhere. This is not 100% Adobe RGB colour capable.

If you are Nvidia card user, Nvidia consumer class cards (Geforce GTX) can only output 10 bit color in a Direct X11 exclusive fullscreen mode. To get 10 bit color output on the Desktop in a way professional applications use it you need a Quadro card and drivers. Nvidia is blocking this for Geforce cards, regardless of the control panel setting a Geforce card will not process/output proper 10 bit color output.  Only the new Pascal cards can support 10bit colour in DirectX apps. OpenGL still 8 bits only.

Gaming wise, be warned, this is a 1440p monitor. Frame rates will be lower compare to a 1080p monitor using the same GPU. Comparison like Overwatch . 1080p easily average 90fps maxed out everything. 1440p only gets me 60~70+fps all maxed out. I'm running a modestly overclocked AMD R9 290.
