Looks like a fantastic screen, specification is rather good especially the refresh rate.

Just say no to the worthless, needless gimmick of curved screens. It only works for Imax because you are sitting so close that the edges need to cover your peripheral vision. No one sits that close to their monitor or TV.
ScoobyDooby
Your opinion only.
The X34 that I use has a very slight curve and is very welcomed as it does help with immersion. I sit a couple feet away from it and prefer that it is curved even a bit over just being straight flat.
Why people keep calling it a gimmick is beyond me. Saying it "only works for IMAX" is pretty silly.

I don't know man, I've got a Samsung 27" LED curved monitor and I do notice a difference from a flat one. I feel more surrounded even though it is a very little curve on it.

Its quite obvious that you don't have a clue, or have never used one while having terrible depth perception.
I wish my 29 inch 21:9 was curved.
But there wasnt a 29 inch curved freesync monitor that wasnt $1000 when I bought mine.
My 290 barely manages to do 75fps vsynced
@ 2560x1080 in alot of newer games on ultra.
So even 2560x1080@ 120-160hz is a big challenge for a single gpu. 10% fps loss on 2560 vs 1920.

Seconded, I have a curved Sammy TV and monitor and while it is not 'life changing', I definitely notice and appreciate the difference.
Lastly, saying 'it only works for IMAX' is a particularly ignorant statement.

Looks like a nice bit of kit

Anyone coming from a "typical" 16:9 monitor will find that you need like a 32" to 35" 21:9 monitor as a minimum to get the same height as your previous one.
Agonist
This is very untrue if your expectations are realistic.
29 inch is actually the perfect starter spot for a 21:9.
And honestly, I first went from a 25inch 1080p to a 25 inch 21:9.
While the 25inch 21:9 is alot shorter in hieght, the picture quality and aspect ratio did make up the difference.
Im now on a 29 inch 21:9 and its taller then my friends 23 inch 1080p.
You actually see more on screen even though the verttical height is less against larger monitors.
Here is a 29 inch 21:9 next to a 27inch 16x9

I am not ScoobyDooby, but I agree with him.
I am also not only calling curved screens a gimmick, I call it totally unnatural.
Those, who say something about bad\wrong\incorrect depth perception (by those who call curved screen a gimmick) - please read at least something on eye anatomy. True, the curved creates distinct visual effect compared to flat screen, but in all meanings it is an unnatural effect. If you like it - ok (it might be even un-harmful to your eyes), but do not say it is a feature which makes a curved screen somehow better than a flat screen (or even more - a must have).

The Predator X34 is obviously a better monitor but this one will be WAY less expensive.
The Freesync/G-sync range in this monitor is HUGE and a single Fury X/980Ti coud handle any game at his res around 100 FPS sustained.
X34 need a CFX/SLI and luck with multicard profiles support.
It has a lot of inputs (dualDVI, 2x DP, 2x HDMI) compared to the normally unique DP sported in adaptive sync monitors lately.
Pixel pitch size and been a non ips model are the only cons i see in this monitor.

I actually happen to be an Imax expert, thank you very much. 😉
The curve was added to home TVs so they had something, anything to jack up the price and resell you technology you already had while they got OLED, etc. off the bench and off to market (still in process).
Curved screens are a con. A scam. A gimmick.
It does not improve viewing for anyone who isn't VERY close to the screen. This is why it was DESIGNED and deployed for Imax and why no one has ever used for anything else ever since.
That's why it isn't used in theaters, commercial or home, for example...unless the screen is designed for up close PERIPHERAL coverage.
I get it. You fell for the marketing. And you don't want to admit it. No real harm there.
Just spread the word and don't fall for it again, k? 🙂

I agree a curved TV could be a gimmick due to distance, size and view angle covered in relation to FOV but a big monitor at short distance this is not the same.
The angle of vision (FOV) covered by a 35' monitor at 2 feet is a lot of bigger than the angle of vision a 40-60 TV set at 10 feet cover.
ScoobyDooby
Ahhh we have a self-proclaimed expert here who also wishes to be condescending toward those who's opinion differs from their own!
Always great dealing with someone like you who beleives themselves to be a know it all on a subject.
If reading comprehension was on your side, you'd acknowledge that I wasn't even referring to TVs.. I specifically referred to my personal experience with my curved display which is mounted two feet away from my face.. a monitor btw which is arguably THE best monitor to be had right now (but I must be saying that since the marketing, if there even was any marketing with the X34, has corrupted my feeble brain).
I definitely know better though than to bother saying any more since you're an "expert" and likely will drown me with your expertise and facts. Please, be merciful and let me just crawl away and re-read the marketing hype that I so blindly fell for to make myself feel better!!
lolllll :wanker:

1080p ... 79.39 PPI No thanks.
Re curved screens, they can be a gimmick if the wrong size. A large enough ultra-wide screen could benefit from being curved. Keep in mind that the curve is very slight, people sometimes think curved screens are more curvy than than they are.
A properly curved screen can slightly reduce the viewing angle of the far edges when you are centered within a large 21:9 screen. But curved 16:9 screens are a ridiculous gimmick imo no matter how big they may be. I just face-palm when I see 55" curved TVs in a store. Market is big for the gullible masses I guess.
dragonlord
Your information-less rant aside, if you'd like to offer expert evidence that supports your meaningless anecdote, we'd all love to hear it.
Unfortunately, you cannot. Because ALL of the actual experts (like myself) who get paid a great deal of money to know the difference on these issues have stated publicly everywhere that curved TV screens are a gimmick, period.
Now, you are free to assume that I am not an expert, of course, since I see no reason to break anonymity just because you resorted to childish insults.
But for the same reason, we must dismiss your meaningless anecdote as well.
So, please, enlighten all of us with the third party, scientific EVIDENCE that supports your position.
And, though I shouldn't need to say this, marketing slides and paid for reviews don't count...
sammarbella
There is no consensus.(as usual)
No prob.Call another "expert".
I'm a brand new self proclaimed "expert post reader" 🤓 and i certify you have a reading comprehension problem.
Period.
:D

I'm not saying you're being dishonest, but if you're going to proclaim your expertise in a subject, you should really provide some credentials. Until you do so, everything you say will be taken with a pinch of salt by the majority of people.
When making a claim, the burden of proof is on the claimant. You are claiming it's a gimmick, furthermore you are claiming that "experts within the field" have a consensus regarding this. Considering this, I'm sure we'd all appreciate a source or two.

Enough with the internet heroics, let's calm down folks.
ScoobyDooby
I'm going to respect Vbetts wishes and not take this any further.. I would however like, at very least, a clarification on one thing..
You may as well break anonymity since nowhere in my post did I resort to any insults at all. I've been a member of this forum a long time now.. you need to learn the definition of an insult and become as expert in that as you are with "IMAX".
FYI, that was not an insult.
