Which is enough for most of games. Hardcore RTS gamer might want to look at other panels.
Gotta have that high response time for Starcraft!
Starcraft 2 doesnt upscale resolution for ultrawide monitors :(
Haha can't actually tell if that's sarcastic or not
@hotpants: Just got back onto starcraft during the lockdowns! pretty decent following on Brood War (battlenet).
Lol what?
it is quite high by number but with my understanding, any number below 1000/144 won't be too much of a difference? Happy to be corrected.
Some people can tell blur, ghosting, etc at 4ms while most people can't, or doesn't care that much.
Also, 4ms is GtG (Grey to Grey) response time. If shifting from two very different color, the response time gets longer.
hahaha, god bless me, I am not able to identify these with screen and my ears are also not up for those high-end speakers. Saved me a lot of money I guess.
It uses a VA panel, which means it's a lot higher than 4ms. Dark transitions will be 10-25ms
Depending on how early in the morning, I got a 1000ms built in response time. An extra 4ms won't matter
au $400 in taobao.com, try boatship via taobao, much cheaper
Air fright cost will kill this deal at around 12 AUD per 500g plus potential volume charge.
Sea fright should do and cost around 50 AUD for 20kg of items.
The biggest challange for aussies shopping on taobao could be lack of English interface…
I can speak chinese and I ship quite a bit from china every two months or so. Was thinking try to help others but I don't want to be liable for any faulty product.
You should open a side business for this. I am quite sure you can have the end user decide to buy insurance/not and pass the liability to them.
taobao direct shipping actually got a lot more expensive relative to using agents recently. taobao direct shipping prices went up almost 300%.
I recently bought this exact monitor directly off Taobao, waiting for it to arrive. Agent shipping fees were $70, $538 total. Just a note, they're charged separately after the item arrives to the agent. Took a bit of a gamble as obviously dead pixel RMA is not going to be feasible.
@RedSky: Ooh that's a little higher than expected. Which agent did you use so the rest of us can avoid it? :D TBF, dead pixel RMA wasn't going to feasible even with direct shipping
@xrailgun: Buying directly from Taobao. You are automatically assigned if your mailing address is international I believe.
do you know how much to ship dishwasher from here to singapore by sea?
谷歌翻译 on chrome :)
I bought a keyboard from taobao 2 years ago, used google translate then asked if the seller spoke english, went smooth. But a monitor is a different story…
this is exactly what I wanted to do but boats take the risk of damaging the panel. My friend just air fright one here and it took him around $700
Especially with containers falling off ships!
Is this a significant risk? I imagine most local stock arrives by boat and the foam packaging is designed to tolerate that kind of movement. I would imagine the highest risk of dead pixels would be during the manufacturing process rather than transit?
boat ship can not apply for insurance for small package in most cases
I tried, but the taobao direct shipping agent refused to send it here, had to send it back to the seller. In the end, I bought a Lenovo G34w-10, which seems to use the same panel, for $729(Lenovo education store price), comebined with Amex offer, can almost get it for $660. I bought it on 20 May, shipped 27 May, boated this Tuesday, and will arrive next week.
$660 was the education store price when the monitor first launched in Australia, and Kogan sold similiar monitor for $600 at the start of the year. Given the strength of Aussie dollar, price maybe go down again.
$692 is a fair price for the xiaomi considering current environment and fast shipping within Australia. I will buy one if havent bought the Lenovo. But if you are worry about the warranty or not in a hurry, you should consider other alternative than xiaomi.
Hi Couger can you please share me the experience of using the G34w-10? I was planning to get one ultrawide too. Getting the foreign monitor was too risky can’t claim warranty …😅😂thanks a lot
What is the amex offer?I only have spent $1500 got &150 back.
I bought the $770 e595 as well.
but how would warranty work with taobao from here though?
Although this Xiaomi monitor is highly rated in China, at around this price, I may pick up a Samsung 34 inch curved monitor instead for warranty and transportation concerns.
You will not get anything from Samsung, LG, Philips, Acer, MSI etc for around this price with this kind of refresh rate and colour gamut (121% sRGB).
How much are we looking at for a similarly specced monitor from Samsung, LG, et al.?
Cheapest with these exact specs is an MSI one for approx $1500
Wow they really do make everything.
yup, I just bought a Xiaomi hair dryer. It’s really good. I found it’s funny that Xiaomi sells underwear too. 😂
They don't design and manufacture everything per se, they just put their badge on a lot of stuff.
It's more just just slapping a badge. Xiaomi actually screens potential companies, and sends out their teams to shortlisted companies and help them establish standard procedures and even help them with funds (if that's a problem) and technology (by sending Xiaomi engineers) and bargain with the large factories such as Foxconn for a better deal on manufacturing and helping with the logistics side also. So Xiaomi is quite involved in this process. It's like a start-up incubator kind of thing, but it's win-win for boths sides.
Wow thats pretty cool, respect to Xiaomi
Associated?
@xiabonan: Your knowledge on the matter and the beggining of your name being similar to Xiaomi I guess?
@Corapmafya: Okay, I see, but I'm not. If I were I would have disclosed so by checking the 'associate' box below when posting the comment.
Yes I'm Chinese, it just so happens that years ago when Xiaomi just started to venture into these miscellaneous businesses I watched one of their videos explaining their process of doing it. It left quite an impression on me so that's why my knowledge of it.
You should check out Samsung - container ships, earthmoving equipment, fridges, phones, CPUs
And Cars!! Yes Samsung Cars!!
And howitzers. Australian Army came close to buying some from them. Project looks like resurrecting:

@Forfiet: I guess they are low priority due to our geography (surrounded by vast ocean) and nature of likely engagement (peace keeping and special force). Naval capability would be better for protecting our borders.
You should check out Hitachi - Electronics, Industrial machinery, Telecoms equipment, Power plants, Information system, Materials, Auto parts, Power tools, Elevator & Escalator, Defense technology, Heavy equipment, Supercomputers, Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
Magical wands :P
Also military equipment, which include artillery and anti-personnel sentry guns
Like most brands they don't make anything they sell.
Bring Fish Screen?
Fish not included. You need to BYOF.
Would waiting for shipping be even worth it?
I need the go ahead from the fellas over at Hardware Unboxed first!
In Tim we trust.
Is this the same panel as the Kogan here? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/513118
Also OP - USD$449 = AUD$640 not $690 might want to update that. Add 5% cashback brings it pretty close to $600.
It's the same panel as the Samsung C34
F791
Does that make the kogan a better deal?
Kogan is currently $999. I wish I jumped on that deal at the time, didn't know I'd be spending so much time at home though
It had better be ips or VA at this price
I think it is a VA panel
it's samsung VA
Not sure but seems it is $999 now? almost doubled in 2 months time.
It priced at a$440 in China, the shipping cost and import tax killed it.
I think that is USD
he converted its price in China from rmb to aud
Seems like a good price for a curved Ultra wide 34", with this kind of refresh rate and colour gamut (121% sRGB). This guy reckons it is supposedly the newer revision of the panel used in Samsung c34f791 100Hz monitor
Is this Ultra Wide?
21:9 ratio is ultra wide.
Looks good on paper and it actually has better specifications than my ASUS ROG XG35VQ that I bought for $800 last year. Would wait for Linus or Tim from Hardware Unbox to review it first though…
The panel appears to be SAMSUNG made and is the same panel used in the Lenovo 34" ultrawide (G34w-10)
My understanding is that Samsung is the only company that produces curved panels.
Nope - my Dell’s LG.
This Xiaomi monitor is made by titan army(taiwanese Innolux owned)
30 days (!!!) warranty … really?
Ah I'm surprised this is the first comment about the CCP. You sir are a first.
Did you make an account in april just to trash Chinese product?
Does it have VESA mount ?
I believe it does by watching some youtube video
The price is AU$839, way too high given the now 0.70 exchange rate.
I believe there is a code you can apply.
notmany ppl buy this in china lol.
make ccp rich
Surely, a contradiction?
uh.. Should somebody tell him?
I assume the panel is from AU Optronics or Innolux?
Amazeballs
Don't do it guys. You will regret it if you have the slightest issue and you have no way of returning it. It is not easy or cheap to ship a monitor of this size to China, assuming they'd even honour a warranty to begin with.
Phones are fairly low failure rate for example so I would buy international, but monitor failure rates are high, I would not risk it.
Paypal will cover part of the cost: https://www.paypal.com/au/webapps/mpp/returns
Imo for ~$620 (paying in USD, cashback), its worth a gamble. The holy trinity of curved 34", 144HZ and WQHD is ~$1100 else where (Acer X34P). Sure you could always compare pre COVID/WFH prices…
X34P is IPS though, so that’s not an apples to apples comparison, unless you don’t care
Sure they might cover the cost but how long is the RMA process going to take? Weeks? Months?
Also as mentioned below, the Acer is an IPS panel which are much more expensive.
