Acer Predator XR341CK 34" Curved Gaming Screen with G-sync
More news from Acer today as later this year they will launch a large curved 34" size, and 21:9 ultra-wide format monitor with G-Sync. The XR341CK which will likely get a 3440 x 1440 resolution. There is apparently going to be a 144Hz + G-sync and a non-G-sync option available.
There is no word just yet on the panel technology being used, product specs are still being finalised. There is suggestion from the information that we've seen that there will be a lower res 2560 x 1080 version as well, but again we're not sure of the details yet. More on these as we get them, but we're sure the thought of a 34" curved ultra-wide screen with 3440 x 1440, 144Hz refresh rate and G-sync is bound to be of interest to a lot of readers.
These screens are expected to go in to mass production in Q2 2015 so availability is yet to be confirmed. Pricing is TBA, via TFT central.

It should be an nice monitor.
Such high resolution usually requires SLI or CFX in order to get decent FPS in any AAA title.

It is a problem how these monitors are getting more and more big resolutions and GPUs still hover around the same performance. If one like me can't play games under 60 FPS , will need to SLI two powerfull beasts to barely can run AAA games at 60. Thus , I personally , I will stick to 1080P for a while.

I would never buy one of these ultra-wides without a close physical inspection. Too many complaints of bad backlight bleed which seems to affect ultra-wides more than other monitors.

This looks amazing, and I can't wait until more companies will give us such models. Even though the resolution is a bit too high for me, considering it's 34" AND curved, it is needed, 144Hz and g-sync is a plus... now if it only were IPS as well.

I can't remember now. I think it was something to do with image quality.

I just searched about it and you seem to be right.
Overdrive causes Pixels to use higher Voltage to change colors more quickly, but the higher Voltage also causes the pixel to overshoot the target color. So the Voltage has to be reduced before reaching the target color, and that's causing the ghosting.
