I am the kind of person to do a TON of research before purchasing anything. I was choosing between this monitor, predator x34 and asus PG348Q. After doing extensive research, i came to this monitor. Cant beat the design and 120mhz refresh rate! 2 clicks and BOOM - overclocked to 120mhz.
comes in a YUUUUUUUGE box, so make sure you have it delivered to your house and not your office. I'm talking TV sized box. Box came a little roughed up but that's shipping fault. Monitor was fine, tons of THICK foam in the box, you could prob roll it down a mountain and it would be fine (DONT TRY AT HOME). I chose next day shipping, arrived very quickly with signature confirmation.
Monitor is fairly heavy, stand is heavier than the monitor! If you do not have a fairly wide and long desk, this monitor will take up majority of your desk. I have the Kargby Ikea desk measuring 74 inches x 25 5/8 inches and with the stand it occupies half the desk. I decided to put this on a high quality desk mount instead to save me some space, there some "heavy duty" desk mounts available for monitors up to 32" and 20 lbs (works for 34" AW3418DW, which ways 16 lbs with no stand). Its a pain in the butt to mount by yourself, would recommend having help, but if you're lonely like me, its very much doable by yourself, just a tad bit harder. Looks perfect on a mount. BOMB DOT COM.
Too many people whining on here about Backlight bleed. Thats just the way it is with any monitors that come with this kind of display. There's always a small chance for backlight bleed, mine came with a very very small amout, not noticeable unless you really go and look for it. STAY AWAY FROM PREOWNED OR OPEN BOX VERSIONS OF THIS MONITOR. MOST LIKELY THEY ARE RETURNS WITH BAD BACKLIGHT BLEED.
I use this monitor primarily for gaming, i do not do ANY editing of sort at all. LOVE THIS MONITOR. even when you try to nitpick you CANNOT see any pixels. i upgraded from a BenQ 27" 144mhz refresh rate and i believe this is a very good upgrade. its not upgrading from a 20 inch tv to a 60 inch tv kind of upgrade, but you WILL notice the difference. Colors are rich and vibrant, with gsync on no screen tearing at all. With my GTX 1080 TI, games are EXTRA SMOOTH like cream cheese on a warm bagel. Especially when you bring up games with 21:9 support such as Ghost Recon Wildlands on ultra settings...SWEET BABY JESUS!!!!!! Performance so flawless makes you wanna scream!!! (not advisable especially at night). Sometimes i just like to sit in my chair and stare at my monitor. Backlight RGB LED of monitor is not really too noticeable to be honest and that doesn't bug me. would recommend 10/10. I'm trying to "force" my friends to get this monitor as well.
Disclaimer: not quite sure how this will perform on lower end graphics cards, GTX 1070 would probably be the minimum in order to get sick fps. well...you CAN use this with lower end graphics cards BUT you wont be able to get the most bang for your buck. i purchased this monitor with my new video card and motherboard. GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!!
Last but not least, this is the cheapest price you can get this monitor for. its $979 INCLUDING TAX AND SHIPPING. Other sites my offer lower prices, but when you add in tax BOOM 1k+++.
TLDR; read my review up there you wont regret it. butttt if still TLDR - Buy the monitor. Better than all the alernatives. You will find cheaper but with sucky screen panel types like VA and TN (EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!) This is the cadillac of all monitors. If you are complaining about the price, then take your complaining somewhere else and go settle for a B or C rank monitor. Be the envy of all your friends and buy this.
I chose this monitor as it ticked all of the boxes i was looking for. G-Sync, atleast 100hz (i really dont care about the 120 overclock), IPS, curved, 3440x1440, vesa compatible etc. I watched numerous videos and always kept coming back to this monitor.
Here are some notes:
1. The packaging is fantastic. Of course USPS had to be the ones to deliver it so im thankful for beefy packaging.
2. The monitor is very nicely built, does not feel cheap. The stand is also very sturdy and beefy. Its heavy and i like that although im not using it (I vesa mounted it).
3. I have no IPS glow or backlight bleed. I read that this is a random thing to lookout for and not just on this panel. I have no dead pixels either.
4. I like the look of the display, its not over the top and i think it looks sleek. Looks great in my gaming setup but would also look just fine in a business location too.
Gaming on it is nice, i run 1440p on ultra and can usually average 55-60 fps. If i drop settings to high i get 65-75 which is more than enough for me. Eventually id like to upgrade my card so that i can do ultra settings and hit 100 fps. I like the extra screen i gain due to it being an ultrawide. I thought i would really notice the downgrade from 4k but really its hardly noticeable unless i go from my old monitor to this one back and fourth. Watching 4k movies still look very good on this 1440 display.
I was a bit wary when the delivery person showed up with a VERY large box- understandable for the amount of protection this type of monitor likely needs for shipping. The box itself along with the foam packaging is very sturdy and a bit difficult to break down, but definitely provided excellent protection. The monitor itself seems a bit weighty, but most of the package weight appears to come from the monitor stand, which is an absolute monster.
The stand is very sturdy and cool-looking, however, I personally mounted the monitor on an adjustable arm for more desk space. Please be aware if you are using a different mount that has a snap-in mechanism to attach to the monitor, the angle in the center-back of the monitor makes it a bit difficult to get into place- not impossible, but takes a lot of finagling. While possible to mount with one person, I would recommend having two, so one person can hold the monitor while the other guides it into place.
Overall, it is a great alternative to having dual monitors for a work setup- I often use a split screen to work on accounting at home, and the curve actually makes it a bit easier to focus on. In gaming, it is also wonderful for a more immersive experience- Skyrim is absolutely gorgeous on this screen, and the wider field of view makes gameplay phenomenal.
I also love the customizable backlighting features on the monitor- not only does it look neat in general, it can also really help to set the mood for the game you are playing at the time (or even for whatever task you are trying to do in general on the computer). Overall, this is a lovely monitor and I am extremely happy with this purchase.

Para juegos en linea ocasionales también responde bastante bien y en juegos de estrategia y MOBA's tiene un rendimiento excepcional. Un poco caro, si, pero fue un gusto que pude darme cuando estuvo en oferta y a meses sin intereses.
El acabado y los materiales son premium, sin duda el mejor monitor que he tenido hasta ahora.
The curved monitor is very nice. At first I was hesitant because given the width of the monitor you lose height compared to 32 inch monitors. It has never been a bother to me in gaming. Very immersive and awesome. Coming from a 1080p gaming monitor you will really appreciate the pixel density and details with what this has to offer.
I originally purchased the Asus equivalent of this monitor. I literally had bought it from amazon and when it arrived later that day I returned it and ordered this because of what research I found online. Basically comparing this to the Asus and Acer counter parts this has a higher refresh rates with that comes with the new updated panel. Asus and Acer use the same as far as the information I researched.
I currently have the stand stored in the box and I am having this currently mounted to a monitor arm. I love that they have the vesa mount flat and easy to mount. The previous curved 32 inch monitor I was using had a rounded curve on the back which required my to use spacers in order to mount it.
Overall I am very happy with the quality. I thought way too much about backlight bleeding and luckily this monitor is very minimal. If you look for it you will find some. Asides from that all other applications I use it for from movies, games, office task stuff I have never noticed it. Buy it it confidence!! Zero regrets.
*I will never game without Gsync again.
*Gsync chip does the heavy lifting so your GPU won't have to. Unlike Freesync where the GPU does call the work. Huge performance gain when vsync is off. No screen tearing or ghosting ever.
*IPS panel looks amazing!
*The curved screen just fills your entire field of vision.
*Very high quality build. Not flimsy or cheap.
*Nice thin bezel and very modern design.
*120Hz refresh with Gsync. Only monitor of it's kind. Asus and Acer have 100Hz versions.
*Very fun to setup. Follow the unboxing instructions and you will be fine. This thing is big!
*May concern some people this thing has a huge footprint on you desk.
*Was going to buy the Acer or Asus models but then I came across this gem. Literary have no complaints at all.
