    I need to sell my Kogan 34' 1080p one first.

    • Astro551 on 19/07/2018 - 23:44

      Haha, dual ultrawide? I've honestly had the 34" at the back of my mind for the past few months, how do you rate it?

      • aofangbaike on 19/07/2018 - 23:49

        It's fine for watching movie but not for web browsing. Just not clear enough.

        • Major Mess on 20/07/2018 - 16:02

          Yes, I was reading reviews last night and they apparently have a lot of image issues.

  • thatguyfromthatplace on 19/07/2018 - 23:52

    Damn that's cheap. Now I just have to think of a way to justify purchasing this to SWMBO after having upgraded my monitor just a couple of months ago.

  • Sir Flabo on 20/07/2018 - 00:01

    I'm making a few assumptions here but:

    1. If it's a Korean monitor and using a Samsung panel (which it seems to be), then it's most likely a rejected panel. So potentially expect to have minor issues such as dead/stuck pixel.
    2. It's a VA panel on a big 34" ultra wide. I'd recommend you look at a similar panel because there will most likely be a lot of colour shift on the sides of the monitor even when facing directly at the centre of the monitor.

    Anywho, it's Vesa mountable, looks pretty shlick and at $589 + delivery (unless you're very picky about your monitor) this seems to be a sweet deal!

    • Major Mess on 20/07/2018 - 16:03

      Ghosting in gaming was the main complaint I read about

  • davidl820 on 20/07/2018 - 00:08

    Based on response time 16ms, 7.8ms/OD can I say the 100Hz refresh rate is also OD so 60Hz native?

  • Super64 on 20/07/2018 - 00:54

    For an extra $100, you can get a similarly spec'd Korean monitor with IPS panel.

    Looks like an identical panel to my ASUS MX34VQ. I paid more than double this 18 months ago, but that's how leading edge tech works…

    Great size and resolution for productivity with 2 good side-by-side windows. Also a good gaming panel although I admit sometimes ghosting is noticeable if you know what you're looking for. Not something that bothers me though ymmv. I've been playing twitch fps games at a pretty high level for a long time now and I've nothing to complain about response times.

    If I'm correct reviews of the ASUS MX34VQ might give you some idea what to expect.

    • winderic on 21/07/2018 - 14:57

      did some search looks like Philips 349x7 and Asus mx34vq could be share the same panel LTM340YP03?

  • jayfkingme on 20/07/2018 - 01:40

    im tempted but isn't 16ms for response time pretty bad as i heard 10ms and under is the go

    • josho9 on 20/07/2018 - 02:07

      Unless you're gaming you won't notice.

      • thearbiter117 on 20/07/2018 - 02:24
        +3

        Well a big point of this monitor is 100hz freesync, so good chances most people looking will be gaming.
        But even then, i used to game on a VA panel, noticed no difference to my current IPS.

    • grb on 20/07/2018 - 02:52
      +4

      Manufacturers often fudge these numbers to make them sound as good as possible. So they pick and choose what to represent as "response time", an exact same panel could be marketed as 4ms by one company and 16ms by another. It's simply not a reliable metric once you take into account to marketing.

      For what it's worth 16ms is one frame at 60Hz, so it's nonsense for people who mostly use 60Hz panels to pretend there's some magic cut-off at 10ms. Each frame at 100Hz is 10ms obviously monitors marketed under 10ms can have responses well above this.

      However response time is important with VA panels with some colour conversions (and these worst case scenarios will never be advertised). So with a monitor like this the usual response time will be almost indistinguishable from a really fast gaming monitor, but the worst case scenario may be noticeable as "ghosting" as I mentioned above. It doesn't bother me, and doesn't affect gameplay, but it does get on some people's nerves so ymmv.

  • garage sale on 20/07/2018 - 11:18

    I watched watch die hard on free to air TV and the frame rate seems OK, why would I expect better frames on a game if I'm happy with the frames watching an action movie.

    I know it used to be a problem with flouro and energy saver bulbs as they as the blinked / synced at 50hz with the TV screen refreshing , but most people now have LED bulbs in their rooms, and drive monitors at 60hz min.

    been thinking about this monitor too last few weeks but was the 1080p version, but this 1440p now make it even better.
    $589

    +124 (Exteneded 5 years warranty)

    = $746.21,

    add another $150 able to get IPS Philips 34" Curved (349X7FJEW) 3440x1440 (21:9 WQHD) 4ms FreeSync.

    I emailed helpdesk to ask what model is the panel and yet to get a reply.

    the closest i can find for Samsung model is 34" CF791 but that's 4ms response time, could it be the same panel?

    • grb on 20/07/2018 - 13:00

      I mentioned a much closer panel in my post above. It seems quite similar to my ASUS MX34VQ, although the response times are listed differently I also mentioned a possible reason for this above. There was also a Korean monitor with similar specs last year but I don't know much about it.

      The Sammy CF791 is a quantum dot panel with a 1500R curvature which means it's completely different.

      • winderic on 20/07/2018 - 13:37

        ah, didn't realize the curve was different. MX34VQ about $252.80 different.

    • DrDuck on 20/07/2018 - 13:52

      The Philips 34" Curved (349X7FJEW) is a VA panel according to the specs on the Philips website

    Delivery was free even without the paypal subscription thing. That’s a bonus

  • Justcuz on 22/07/2018 - 16:36

    Anyone know if freesync is 45Hz to 100Hz on this monitor? I know Phillips' ultrawide monitor can go up to 100Hz, but when it comes to freesync, only goes up to 70Hz. Hopefully that's not the case here.
    Edit: Saw from the comment above, it's the 349X7FJEW and in the manual -
    "On DisplayPort Mode, can’t support FreeSync if the V.Freq>69Hz"

    • winderic on 23/07/2018 - 13:36

      i guess if didn't go up to 100hz will be false advertising?

    so how well would a 1080 drive it and is it 60hz or 75hz without freesync, which im guessing is how you get 100hz

  • MadazTheSkitzo on 07/08/2018 - 08:37

        yeah hard to wait 3 weeks cant i just go for a long sleep hahahah

        Linus gave it a fair review, for the money we are paying don't expect Predator performance but ill be happy if it hits 100hz with a 1080 and no tearing

        "FreeSync monitor with NVIDIA graphics card = regular monitor. The experience is just like using any other monitor. Tearing can be prevented by using V-Sync or some other variant like FastSync. "

    Received it today! I need to VESA mount it, but the instructions don't say anything! I can only assume I'm supposed to remove the black screws and screw in the "extender" screws? I don't know if those extenders can support the weight.

    Just like my recently returned ACER KG271A, having issues with using my DP KVM switch with this monitor. When plugged in via KVM using DP, monitor shows up blank. Not sure if this problem is unique to my KVM switch but my Acer XB270H doesn't have a problem.

    FYI guys, the plastic parts of the monitor came in white (even the front chin of the monitor). A shame for me as all my other PC gear is black or grey. Initial inspection, no dead pixels. Will test out some games and other goodies this weekend and report back.

    • MadazTheSkitzo on 17/08/2018 - 19:08

      wow that was quick i still havent got email its been shipped

      do you have the vesa arm already?

      • dazzles on 18/08/2018 - 01:27

        Yep. Had a dual arm I bought from officeworks, did some rough measurements before I bought the monitor to ensure it will fit alongside my 27". My issue is regarding the rear setup of the monitor to mount onto the arms.

        • MadazTheSkitzo on 19/08/2018 - 17:31

          Have you been able to put it through its pace yet, will we be pleasantly surprised?

        • dazzles on 20/08/2018 - 13:26

          @MadazTheSkitzo:

          So how I mounted it seemed to work, had to tighten up the arms due to the weight and size of the screen, was just able to fit it side by side with my existing 27"

          Works relatively well for games. Maybe it's in my head but I do feel there was some ghosting (looked a bit like motion blur in GTA V?), perhaps that's in my head. I didn't do any colour accuracy checks. There is no "overdrive" setting and have set it to "low" response rate which I'm hoping is 7.8ms as they have quoted.

          I'm running a i7 6400t ES @ 4ghz & undervolted Vega 64, struggled on Monster Hunter until I reduced resolution scaling to lowest in order to get circa 80fps. That is going to be expected as 3440 x 1440 requires a pretty beefy system to get FPS over 60. GTA V worked fine but observed what looked like ghosting, by the time I fired up CS: GO my eyes had already adjusted to the monitor.

          For the price I'm relatively pleased. I'm still yet to test the picture by picture and picture in picture modes.

          Nice, can't wait to receive mine, my estimate delivery is this week.

          I also bought a desktop arm for it and is ready to put on it!

          If your vega 64 still struggle, i guess my R9 380 will be worst, but lucky i am casual gamer and dont really care fps.

        I looked at one of those pixel fixer youtubes colour looked quiet even little to none light bleed on my monitor

        the Menu is clunky i enabled freesync just because even though running GTX 1080 seems ok. out of the box it runs at 60hz but right click desktop and change display settings to max res and max hz and monitor shows running 100hz

          @heineken016: Same boat here, i use a monitor arm so can't comment on the stability of the stand but it seems to be pretty durable and heavy so i don't think shaking is an issue. The frames including the bottom chin is a glossy white plastic like your typical monitor bezels.

          As for viewing angle i'm not sure if it's just me but looking at it straight from the middle and looking side to side with a white background, it definitely distorts a little bit as it just looks like there's not a lot of light emitting to make it as bright as the middle.

          seems to run at 100hz on all resolutions, and is noticeable coming from 60hz. I didn't notice much backlight bleed and panel seems to be free of dead pixels. I'm no hardcore gamer but i don't think ghosting is that noticeable, though i got some screen tearing every now and then with freesync on and off. I've only tested Witcher 3 and i'm running off a 1080ti+8600k and everything else seems to be fine. Can't say much either with colour accuracy, as it looks fine to me

        • heineken016 on 28/08/2018 - 10:53

    Just got the monitor delivered, box was damaged, hopefully inside is okay. not happy

    • MadazTheSkitzo on 27/08/2018 - 22:07

      there's a lot of foam inside im sure it would be ok

  • winderic on 28/08/2018 - 00:17

    alright. finally set it up. Agree that trying to install on the monitor arm can be tricky.
    I dont know about you guys but my first top screws for the monitor plate don't screw all the way in even already tighten.
    But the bottom two screws was okay, i might need to get some washer just so that it fill the gap.

    Will take me sometime to get used to such a big screen!

    Do you guys use windows scale? i am using 125% at the moment.

    Beside dead pixel and refresh rate, what else you guys test?

    • MadazTheSkitzo on 28/08/2018 - 11:11

      im using it normal 100% screen scale

      that's all the tests i had done, in game (PUBG) set my mouse sensitivity really high and did some 180 and 360 spinning to check for screen tearing and found no tearing

  • crunchynuts on 29/08/2018 - 18:02

    Would one of you kind gentlefolk be able to post some pictures at different angles, mainly around BLB and any smearing.
    Cheers in advance

    NB: How was delivery - do they just dump it in the front if no ones home/auspost/courier?

    so took a little bit of footage but its not the best this is not a true representation of how smooth it is

    Check around screen for light bleed, this also has NFS 2016 footage https://youtu.be/kEn1koFf9W0

    CSGO https://youtu.be/577ruXf6NnU

  • winderic on 30/08/2018 - 17:56

    Anyone getting motion sickness or headache looking at the screen?

    What response time do you guys set? High?

    Thanks.

    • MadazTheSkitzo on 31/08/2018 - 00:15

      Yeah i had min set to high and Freesync on I dont think FS makes a difference since i dont have AMD

    My setup. The photos of the bleed test don't show the true quality in real, is really not that bad, could be my angle or phone.
