Whats the refresh rate on this one ? i didn't see it anywhere .. 120 hz would be real nice.
Appears its 75hz , still better than 60 hz .

Nice monitor, but why do these companies keep putting glossy frames and what's with the purple on the front bezel.

Too expensive,even now, even while the first this type monitors start to show up...
For my taste I would prefer a monitor with "just" 75hz and G sync, real colors(blacks too),good response time but with a reasonable price..
I mean, come one, we need 2.000 euros for monitor+dual gpus to play nice with everything? too much guys..

34'' curved ultrawide for pc gaming? I don't see it.

I really get the feeling Monitor Producers have no clues as to what the PC marker wants.
To me it's one of the following:
1) Gamer monitor.
2) Productivity/business monitor.
3) General purpose monitor.
4) App/task specific monitor.
1) high/fast refresh, 1080P or higher. TN/1080P/23inch at the low and IPS/1440P/27inch at the high
2) widescreen and cheap. 21 inch low end scrub/27 inch for managing directors. panel type irrelevant, so long as it conforms to standards. IT Manager gets a projector in the server room which only he has the key for. 🙂
3) 60-75hz 1.78-1.6:1 panel no less than 24 inch and most likely 1080P or 1200P as a minimum and IPS 8-12 bit. the lowest latency possible in this bracket. Dell make these quite well.
4) 4-5K panels with w/e refresh designed for photo/editing/CAD/document production 10-12 bit with Adobe RGB/SRGB and other calibrations available. Typically use in conjunction with another monitor like one of the (3) types.
Now then, where does this monitor fall?

I just hope it gets a 29" 1080p little brother, I still believe 32" might be a tad much.
Oh and yeah, the price. But 7 years ago I bough my current monitor for €770.
Sooo... I hope these will last even longer? ^^

Some people probably need to understand that a 34" ultra widescreen monitor doesn't "feel" as big as what people automatically assume when it says 34"

That's a 34" ultrawide monitor next to a 27" widescreen monitor
the 29" ultra wides are too small, and i believe that to be true for most anyone, though it does have its market, but to the people who are saying it's too big why would a gamer want it, do you really understand how "big" it is?

I wish people would stop spitting out refresh rates when the specs for dp 1.2 or hdmi 2.0 are known,
They only show there lack of knowledge.

if anyone has trouble picturing the size of a 34" 21:9 monitor. take a regular 27 inch panel. then take another one and cut it in 4 pieces then take 2 pieces and stick it on each side of the 27" monitor. that's about how big a 21:9 34" monitor is. 3440x1440 is great for productivity and can be great for most games but it can be really annoying for capturing/streaming as you need to set the res to 1080p/1440p(if you use a capture card or want to conform to 16:9 for youtube) and that leaves black bars on the sides.

I picked up the new AHVA ASUS PB278Q and it's the best monitor I've used for gaming. If I do end up getting a FreeSync monitor I'll be waiting a while. Since I have no problems running my monitor at 2560x1440p with everything I play besides maybe ArcheAge in large open world PvP battles. But even then I don't really drop below 40 fps.
I'm also waiting for the right time to buy another monitor. Just because I've only had this one for less then 6 month's. And it's pixel perfect.
I also wonder why I don't get any artifacts when I use display port. I'm not sure if this monitor has DP 1.2a or not. But it acts as if its using some sort of free sync.
Anyone know more about the Asus PB278Q AHVA monitor, as in does it have DisplayPort 1.2a or not? You would think that if it did they would have it all over the box but since Asus is partners with Nvidia GSync, maybe they wouldn't advertise it?
Anyway I was just wondering and put in my 2 cents..

I eventually want one, but first prices have to drop below 1000 and refresh needs to go up to 120 at least.

Acer has had some sweet monitors lately.

Love my 24" Acer. I feel they make good stuff. That said, I will wait and see if this drops to $199 at Costco. :funny:
I game and do music production and still can't justify spending this much when much lesser panels get the job done in an outstanding way.

I'll keep my 16:10 aspect ratio 1920x1200 monitor thanks. I really don't see the need to upgrade. Oh sure, it would be nice to have a monitor that is as tall as mine but in "ultrawide" format but I do not actually need that much glass real-estate in front of my eyes. I'm not one of those kind of people who is running a mufti-monitor setup, probably becasue I have learned how to ballance my excerise of impluse controll with the excerise of budget controll. If I had money to burn and the sky was the limit then sure, fine, I'll take ten, but let's get real here.
