Pretty sure this one deserves its own thread.

http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/aoc-launches-35-inch-219-agon-ag352ucg-gsync-monitor.html

It finally happened, I guess. a G-sync monitor that's cheaper than Freesync rival (the CF791), at least in my country. And miles below the price of HP Omen X 35

Expected price is 799 GBP in Europe, not sure about the US price. Polish price is expected to be 3899 PLN, which is less than CF791's cost here (4500-4800 PLN), albeit it's hard to say whether the shops will actually sell it for that price.

It's a VA, but the static contrast is worse than typical modern VA (2000:1). It's said to be a 35 inch screen though, so it's an inch bigger than CF791 or X34.

It also comes with less curvature than CF791, at 2000R, compared to 1500R of CF791 it's significantly less curved, which I personally like, as I prefer flat panels over curved due to more true image without distortions.

The stand is confirmed to swivel, which is a nice bonus.
The "10yo gamer" LED stuff can be disabled.

Anyone hyped ?

I would be, but its predecessor makes me feel like it won't be THAT great.

As always, guess time will tell.

No, i meant the panel used in the likes of the Z35, 21:9 1080p 200 Hz. Looked good on paper, but the transitions were kind of bad.

Every 35" Ultrawide is going to be using the same panel.

So, yes.
I dont think so.

There are 100Hz 300-400cd 35"panels from AO (AOC Agon-ag352ucg), eventualy should come 200Hz Quantumdot 1000cd HDR panels from AO (Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ and Acer Predator X35) and as far as I know LG might have their own 35" nanoIPS panel used on LG 35GK950G.

Why settle for a 3440x1440p ultrawide @ 100hz when theres 4k @ 144hz coming to be released this quarter, and surely ultrawides will come at the end of the year supporting 144hz. I guess if you need a monitor right now and are okay with 100hz, but still i would want to splurge on a display only if i know this is the best it's going to be for awhile with future releases having only incremental upgrades.

UHD =/ Ultra-Wide. People buy Ultra-Wides for a different aspect ratio. Otherwise, they would buy UHD.

And I can only wait for the horror stories of people spending 2k on a monitor to deal with horrible backlight.

Those 4k 144Hz monitors are only 27 inches though. I know you can just sit closer and all but really it's just not the same experience as having something bigger in the end. 34 inch ultra wide isn't even all that large either when compared to a 40 inch 4k either but at least it's better than 16:9 at 27 inches. Also VA panels typically haven't had response times reliable enough for 144Hz anyways so 100Hz is probably more suitable for it. Where did you hear they are coming out this quarter? Last I heard all the 4k 144Hz monitors are not due till Q3 at the very earliest.

Oh i didn't mean it like that, as in get a 27" 4k 144hz display instead, but to wait for the inevitable 1440p 21:9 monitors that will also be 144hz if that's important to you.

I checked out the high refresh panel roadmap listed on TFTCentral, and from what I read there is no QHD 144Hz 21:9 VA panel coming out anytime soon, the one that may hit the market first is an LG IPS panel and even then, it isn't even going into the production until Q3 2017 so an actual monitor using this panel would be 2018.

"34" ultra-wide with 3440 x 1440 resolution and 144Hz refresh rate - LM340UW3 - production was originally planned for Q1 2017 but according to recent road-maps it has been delayed until Q3 2017. To run this resolution and refresh rate, a video interface beyond DP 1.2 will be needed, hence some of the wait. We expect it to be a couple of months after the panel goes in to production before we see a monitor announced featuring that panel, and then another 3 months or so before that monitor is released. Taking that in to account, we wouldn't expect to see a 3440 x 1440 IPS based screen with 144Hz until probably Q4 2017 at the earliest we're afraid."

144Hz 1440p 21:9 monitors will come out eventually, but definitely not soon enough for me to pass up just settling for the AOC/Samsung until a 32/40 inch 144Hz 4k comes out.

I would be okay with 85 or 90 Hz, as that is fully satisfying and actually possible to get with a card that doesn't cost 1000+ USD.

But there's no such thing, so I have to pay extra for 100 Hz, which I don't need. Sadly.

Unless you go dual Titan P for 2000 USD, I'm not sure how on earth can you even get that 144 fps on 3440x1440, which makes it pretty pointless anyway. That would be something fun for a very, very rich person, which I'm not.

I'd love to get a 90 Hz ultrawide without dead pixels, 34 inch 1440p.

ULMB plays best @120Hz. I used to play ULMB @85Hz but it gave me pretty ugly eyestrain after more than an hour. I imagine 100Hz is only slightly better but not perfect. I can play with ULMB @120Hz for hours and not feel any eye fatigue though.
I wonder how ULMB looks on a VA monitor, it makes my TN almost too dark.

Ulmb on a va panel is too dim for my taste.

I have two 32" side by side. Asus and Omen, they are both AMVA at 75hz.
Super smooth in games. I am a twitch shooter, so would notice any lag.
They are also great in color and uniformity.

Would I prefer a 34" or 35" 16:9 ? Yes of course.
32" is still extremely immersive.

The good thing about a 32" is that you will always get the full 32" without black bars on the side.

I think 75hz and up is fine for gaming.

could you type the models please?
32 inch would be perfect.

Do they support free/g sync?

edit: you probably mean 16:9, right? ah, i see. I'm only interested in UW at this point
