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?

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" http://i.ytimg.com/vi/M0pqKYMZDJ4/maxresdefault.jpg 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 would much rather use one of these new ultrawides than the ghetto 3x monitor setups for games.
1000% agree. I see people's battestation pictures and 60% of their desk is monitors.. looks ridiculous, but that's only because there hasn't been anything big enough to only use a single monitor unless you use a TV. Plus, bezels are awful, and I just can not bring myself to do a triple monitor setup. I'd much prefer to just get a wider single panel.
OH YOU!... and your arcane STANDARDS This monitor is the BEST thing thats happened to the monitor market in a LONG while, i am truly sad that you dont see it. (although it is overpriced at launch it seems... but thats to be expected)
Agree, its about time we start to see some options in the 30+ inch segment of monitors. It seems like we've been stuck at 24/27 for ages now (I know there are larger, but the vast majority of monitors are within those ranges) so its nice to see some high quality larger screens become available. I may not get this monitor right when it drops, but the moment I see it ~$1000 I will buy one.

Agreed. The 27" monitor are same height as 34" ultra-wide, the latter just wider. A 29" UW looks pathetic vs these two.. same height as a 24" display.

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