So how,is this monitor? Detailed review?
 
#5 ·
Never managed to see one on sale in any major EU online retailer, is a total no-show for now.
Have even recently wrote to ASUS directly to know availability, but no answer. Tells quite a lot on the Company's attitude versus the product...

Popol, on which Italian site did you manage to get it?

You can order it here : monclick.it / monclick.fr , original price 800€, you can apply this coupon for 8% discount : L719-1J02-0X6Y.

I think they ship everywhere in Europe, I have already ordered 1 monitor from France and the service was good (phone calls service, delivery in 1 day with TNT express).

Are you sure? When I try to register on their website there is no box to pick country...

Keep the order of CF791 if you can send it back easily if it has any issue.

I know for freesync it was not clear for me at first, but it is now :

On the product page you can read :

"Digital Signal Frequency : 30~151 KHz(H) / 48~100Hz(V)"
+
"Adaptive Sync support range from 48Hz-100Hz"

Adaptive Sync = Freesync as it is explained on other page on Asus website :

"ASUS FreeSync product is certified by both AMD and VESA standard, so it can be called as VESA Adaptive-Sync as well." (Link here)

Moreover, some dealer have clearly write Freesync in the product specs like here

Same case for the Asus MG24UQ, it is only mentioned Adaptive Sync and not Freesync in the page product, but it is freesync.

The problem for me is that there isn't any "serious" review by a trustworthy source of neither the Sammy or the Asus yet.
Before splashing 800-900€ in a display I'd like at least to see some real tests of it. It's true it can be returned, but still quite the fuss at that point..

For now Amazon.it is not even listing the Sammy nor the Asus, while on Amazon.de the Sammy is more than 1.000€ (still too much IMHO)

For me it is between this and the M340CLZ. But I want some solid information about this monitor!

Yeah it is probably using the same panel as the Microboard/Crossover.
These are all 8-bit panels - all Samsung 34'' VA ones and the upcoming AUO 35'' and 31.5'' VA also seem to be going to be 8-bit only.
To me this seems like an unnecessary stagnation.
Won't be good for any future HDR versions either - they'll have to make new panels for that, at least with dithered 10 bits.
If you want 8bit+FRC ultrawide you have to get one with IPS panel.

Yeah, quite strange indeed, especially considering that 8bit+FRC seems to work quite well in simulating 10bits and shouldn't add too much to the cost (for example the massive Philips BDM4037UW has it and is a VA panel).

The omission is especially puzzling in the F791, considering the premium price at which is currently sold..

You are right it could be the panel of the microboard M340CLZ because it's the same curve, same contrast, exactly same display viewing area and view angle.

BUT the ASUS panel is better because :

M340CLZ freesync = 60Hz - 100Hz
M340CLZ response time = 8ms GTG
whereas
MX34VQ freesync = 48Hz - 100Hz
MX34VQ response time = 4ms GTG

and from what I know the microboard M340CLZ panel has not any flickering / purple / ghosting issue, so it's a pretty good news.

You can see the official specs of the microboard M340CLZ here

that would be quite the "microboard killer", then. Similar price, but you can actually buy it in a real shop and not play the stupid gambling game

What I find strange is the super-quiet release. CF791 has been hyped for months, and this Asus monitor... just appeared out of nowhere.
