Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Acer Predator X34 UM.CX1EE.006 Curved IPS NVIDIA G-sync Monitor

This isn't for everyone, wait for the release in December 12, 2015 like the rest of us. This is an EXCLUSIVE launch, very, very limited. Intended for YouTubers with Unboxing/Review videos... Who will make tons of profits from their fanbase and advertising partners. I cannot sell it for retail, there's only a handful of people who have access to this product.

So, meine Aufregung war umsonst. Monitor ist heute Mittag angekommen, alles gut gegangen. :-)

[list]
[*] Originalverpackte Neuware, kein Rückläufer
[*] Keine Pixelfehler (habt alles gründlich abgesucht, da ich am Laptop nun ziemlich zentral einen türkisen Pixelfehler bekommen habe, der mich wahnsinnig macht).
[*] Macht die 100HZ problemlos mit. (getestet mit [...])
[*] Kaum/kein Fiepen? Da bin ich mir nicht 100%ig sicher, es kommt mir im Unterbewusstsein vor, als ob da was wäre. Aber da mir das bei 60HZ auch vorkommt bin ich unschlüssig. Es ist schwer zu beschreiben, ich höre es nicht direkt, es ist "so ein Gefühl", selbst wenn ich alle Wakü-Lüfter ausstelle und mit dem Ohr ganz nah zum Monitor gehe. Vielleicht höre ich durch die Angst vor dem Fiepen auch einfach nur Gespenster.
[*]Leuchten in den Ecken: Bisher minimal. Ich muss das in der Nacht nochmal in Ruhe testen. Hab jetzt nur einigermaßen alles abdunkeln können, da habe ich bei einem schwarzen Vollbild in der rechten unteren Ecke ein leichtes Leuchten.
[*]Scanlines: Habe die NVIDIA Demo mehrmals durchlaufen lassen - mit unterschiedlichen Einstellungen - aber ich kann nichts feststellen. Vielleicht weiß ich aber auch nicht, wonach ich genau suchen muss. Es wäre mir aber beim besten Willen nichts aufgefallen.
[/list]

Ich kann das Produktionsdatum mittels HWINFO leider nicht auslesen, da steht nur Mist (Woche 255, Jahr 2013), daher weiß ich leider nicht welche Charge das ist.

Ich habe zwar am Wochenende nochmal mit mir gerungen, ob ich wirklich das Geld für einen Monitor ausgeben soll (ist doch ein stolzer Preis), aber wenn ich neben mir jetzt den Asus Swift PG278Q stehen habe, ist es entschieden. Er kommt mir im Vergleich winzig vor und ich kann dadurch jetzt nicht mehr zurück, das hilft leider eh nicht. Wenn einmal im Kopf drinnen ist, dass der "alte Monitor winzig ist", müsste ich immer daran denken, obwohl er mir bis heute Vormittag nicht winzig vorkam.

Wer also auch mit dem Monitor liebäugelt und Sorgen bzgl. der Qualität (Scanlines, Blauverläufe, Fiepen, ...) hat: Es sind gute Geräte im Umlauf, die (auf den ersten Blick) halten, was versprochen wird. Werde in ein paar Tagen ein Status-Update machen, ob was Negatives passiert ist.

Simply amazing

This is the kind of product, once you start using it, you simply CANNOT go back.

21:9 is simply an amazing set up to enjoy the games in total immersion. At your normal monitor distance, your vision is fully covered, and playing FPS or adventure games have never felt the same.

The resolution is perfect, extremely detailed yet not devastating for your GPU as 4K will be. You can simply run a simple powerful GPU (you'd need a 980 ti or equivalent to really enjoy it fully, but if you spend 800£ in a monitor, you probably don't have a 150£ GPU) and enjoy all recent games like they were meant to.

The curve is great, You may believe it's not enough but once you sit in front of it, it's just what you need.

Colours are very good from the get go, not perfect but the calibration doesn't have much to correct.

G-Sync is also one of this thing you'll never go back from. Overclocking to 100hz works like a charm. Both together means any Nvidia users will enjoy perfectly fluid gaming.

A must for the enthusiastic gamers.

Now, more details for the curious.

Should you prefer a screen like this over a 4K large screen ?

Well, it all depends of your global budget and your taste. A 4K monitor will obviously be more crispy and more detailed, but very little hardware will allow you to play 4K easily. A 980 ti / Titan / Fury will not play all recent games in 4K, and you'd need a sli / cf for that, at least with high details and with a decent framerate. If you don't mind < 40 fps, and you're ready to constantly improve your hardware as new games get released.

Now, there is a but. And that's the 21:9 resolution. This resolution is both a curse and a blessing.

A curse, because a lot of content are not playing well with it. By that, I mean mostly videos / tv serie, movie, youtube content, and pre-rendered games cutscenes. Most recent games though play well with this resolution. But you'll have to deal with a few old games, or badly ported console games who won't play so nice with you, and you may have to hack those games to play nice.

A blessing, because the format 21:9 is the best you can find for immersion apart from a VR headset. The extra fov, without distorting anything is really awesome, and never The Witcher 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Battlefield 4 or GTA have been feeling so immersive. If like me, you also use your monitor for work. You simply get a dual monitor set up with a single monitor. Dual Window on a single screen, and no loss what so ever. I used to use 3 monitors for work. Now, I can do the same with 2 (this one + one standard). And when it comes to movies released as aired in theatre ... Mind Blowing.

Ottimo

Pro dello schermo:
+ curvo e a 21:9, effetto immersione nei giochi assicurata.
+ ottima risoluzione (1440p) e illuminazione. (ad oggi sul mercato schermi curvi e a 21:9 a 4k non ne sono usciti, quindi se volete un 4k non potete anche averlo curco a 21:9).
+ G-Sync. (con il G-sync arriva a 100hz, ad oggi non ci altri schermi curvi a 21:9 con G-sync che vadano a 144hz, quindi se volete uno schermo a 144hz non potete averlo curvo a 21:9).
Contro:
- Quando uscirà uno schermo 34', curvo a 21:9, in 4k e a 144hz, con G-sync dovrete cambiare questo... ma fortunatamente nemmeno ASUS ha ancora fatto uscire un prodotto del genere.
- circa 500-600 € in più rispetto ad uno schermo piatto 27', 16:9, 4k e 144hz, ma come detto sono due prodotti che "giocano" in due "campionati" diversi.
In sintesi: un ottimo schermo gaming se lo volete curvo e a 21:9. Molti giochi anche recenti non supportano il 21:9 (Es. Starcraft II e World of Warships - ma scaricando un programmino per il primo e modificando il file xml delle preferenze del secondo e si può ottenere il 21:9 anche per questi). Riscontrato un minimo frame tearing nella schermata del menù di gioco di Rome Total War II e Attila (ma probabilmente è un problema del gioco - avevo lo stesso problema quando con una Asus GTX 980ti ver. OC e uno schermo 27', 16:9, 1080p, 125hz.

Perfecto en todos los sentidos... lo unico que es muy grande para una mesa convencional... ya que el tripode de soporte es muy grande.

Très content de mon achat,
Très belle Dalle, belle surface, image vraiment agréable.
Peu être le pied que je trouve un peu trop encombrant ainsi que les bouton de commande qui sont pas du tout pratique a l'usage.
Le petit éclairage sous l’écran est bien fun

EDIT :
Finalement j'ai choisit de monter l’écran sur un bras de type Ergotron ( le modèle Amazon Basics) c'est vraiment plus pratique ainsi.
Apres plusieurs mois d'utilisation il est toujours aussi beau et efficace, les couleurs n'ont pas bougée.
