I guess we won't hear anything before someone gets their hands on it. Here in Norway one webshop expect the monitor to arrive this week already, but others isn't expecting before May.

It's not an very exiting monitor, except the price and I like the style, but if it ranks over Samsung and Asus in future reviews I may buy it.

 

Doesn't look like it's a 100hz monitor which explains why it's cheaper.

 

According to the dutch manual (page 18) it can do 100hz, but 60hz is recommended for best picture quality. No idea what that exactly means.

 

I wonder that myself, lets hope its not a feature just for amd card users only. Could it be a feature in the "Smart Image"-gaming settings?

 

Some reviews are out:

Still no clear answer that this monitor supports 100Hz native. I've asked Philips through twitter and they forwarded my question to a local team, still waiting for a reply.

 

I got a reply from Philips if this monitor supports 100Hz native:
For 349X7FJEW, both DP1.2 and HDMI 2.0 port can support 3440x1440@100Hz. There is no relation between Freesync and 100Hz

 

Prices have gone up in the Netherlands. You could get it for €800 as a preorder, now it 's up to a €1000.

 

That's a bummer if you were planning on buying. I'm still "window shopping", waiting for more hands down reviews while im also waiting to see how Vega will preform as I will need a new card to run a monitor like this.

 

Prices are down to 809 euro in the Netherlands and at least one shop has them in stock.
Now I'm just waiting for reviews.

 

So just got this monitor.
It definitely does do 100hz at native resolution.

Some quick thoughts( when comparing, it's to my older philips MVA from 2012)

• Contrast is definitely worse on the 34"
• Has more glare problems
• Build quality seems good
• Looks nice
• Haven't found any dead pixels
• Interface is simple, works with just 1 button/joystick idea
• Needs be in 'fastest' mode to remove artifacts
• Does 100hz

Anyone want me to run any specific tests?

--edit--
Monitor seems to have issues with freesync. It makes the screen flicker.
Also noticed some build quality issues on closer inspection. Not all plastic parts fit together nicely.
There is also some room between the panel and the bezel on the lower part of the screen.

Will be sending this one back

 

Ah too bad

Are you witing for a new one, or will you go for a different monitor?

I'm thinking of buying the agon ag352ucg, it's on sale this weekend at the same price as this monitor, and then I could just go for an nvidia card instead of waiting for Vega.

 

I just came to laugh that they're still making ultrawides that are 100hz and not 144hz, when we're about to get 4k 144hz. I know 21:9 and 16:9 isn't the same thing, but 3440x1440 144hz is less bandwidth than 4k 144hz by a significant margin yet they're still content giving us 100hz. Ew.
