No DisplayPort 1.2a is a missed chance.

I really do not understand the hype about curved screens.
And honestly I think they are just a marketing gimmick, nothing more.
I began my PC-life with Amiga 500 and its 8-10(?) Inches CRT screen sometime in 1989, so managed to witness some big part of Display evolution thorough these years.
I remember screens going flat on vertical axis, I remember the horizontal curvature becoming more flat... then I remember the late 90s overly-enthusiastic claims of how curved (outwards, relative to light source) CRT screens are unnatural, and how flat LCD screens are the cure for cancer…
…some 10 years later we are again fed with this screens nonsense… but this time mainly with the idea that curved (inwards) screens are super-duper natural.
BS, I say. There’s nothing natural in these screens, our eyes are not created (or more accustomed) to better see\percept inwardly curved images (actually quite the opposite, considering the structure of an eye…)
Returning to the main post... As a display it is quite nice… though nothing special.

Still waiting for 21:9 screen that is 120hz and has 1200p resolution (for backwards compatibility with old 4:3 games that use 1600x1200).

I wouldnt buy a 29" wide-screen, its pixel height is too restricted (1080). So the size of objects you see on the screen is no different from what you would see on a 23/24" 1080 screen. Only difference is the greater space on the sides (FOV). Very underwhelming if you ask me. 34" (3440 x 1440) would be the way to go for a nicely immersive 21:9 experience imo.

I sit quiet close to my monitor so 24" is more than enough for me. This monitor is very nice but @ 1080 only. Would of liked it to be 1200 or 1440 at least.
