Good price!.. but I'll wait until price drop to $1400

  Maybe for AW3420DW, but not for this one.
  
  I just returned my AW3420DW because of major factly within a week.
  - chew_chew on 02/12/2020 - 19:09
    
    Sorry to hear. What was the major fault that you experienced?

      a 3-5cm black line, not a dot.
  - Asgard on 02/12/2020 - 22:33
    
    I already have aw3420dw I bought this one at $1825 and after 30days which is over the price guarantee period, it dropped $13~~
    I think this can be dropped to $1400 cause even aw3420dw started from 2200 and 1800 was also discounted price. Pretty reasonable, right?

  You can always buy a naked panel for about $900 and source a driver
  - MrBillions on 03/12/2020 - 06:24
    
    Interesting…Do you have any instructions for that?
    - krisspy on 03/12/2020 - 12:16
      
      Being a niche display size/resolution there are no display drivers on the market for it. Maybe Taobao but I haven't checked there.
      
      Essentially
      Buy panel and driver
      Diy a frame for said panel
      Profit

  There aren’t any HDR1000 displays with a GSync module in current production (Both the PG27UQ and Acer X27 are EOL, apparently the Acer X35 and Asus PG35VQ may also be on the way out, as the AOC AG353UCG with the same panel never released outside EU)
  
  So they’re probably certifying the “next best” thing till the next gen of 4k144/HDR1000 displays release (Acer X32, Asus PG32UQX, Asus PA32UCG are supposed to be 32” 4K UHD HDR1400 144Hz but they’ve been all delayed). The Acer XB323QKNV, Viewsonic XG320U and Asus XG32UQR are supposed to use the same panels but without FALD.

    - twister292 on 03/12/2020 - 15:51
      
      There are HDR1000 displays, just not with GSync modules and IPS at the same time since the Pg43uq and X27 went EOL.
      
      The Philips 436M6, Asus Pg43uq, Samsung G9 are all GSync compatible, no module. The only HDR1000 GSync module monitors currently floating around are PG35VQ and Acer X35, though they're hard to find and possibly approaching EOL soon

  I'm contemplating getting one of these for my new 5900x / 3090 setup (plus for my Ps5 / Xbox Series X).
  
  Is it too big for desktop use?
  - dualcore on 02/12/2020 - 23:18

AOC AGON AG493UCX 49" 120Hz UWQHD FreeSync is at $1699. similar features minus G-Sync but bigger screen. It's like 2 x 27" 1440P monitors. Includes USB C power delivery for laptop.

  Totally different monitor. Nano IPS Vs VA, G-Sync Ultimate Vs Adaptive Sync, 1600p Vs 1440p, HDR600 Vs HDR400.
  
  Not really comparing it like for like. That would be the LG GN950-B, which is OOS everywhere and $2499. So at $1778 (or $1600 including CashBack) this the best price/monitor for the money.

  Bought thru shopback couple weeks ago, took video and screenshots while shopping using their app (foresaw this happening). They now say it was not tracked. I’m appealing it but it’s happened so many times on here now yet ShopBack doesn’t do anything about it. They’re happy for you to keep using their services tho!

Would this be better with HDMI 2.1 for a 3080?
- McFly on 02/12/2020 - 18:44
  
  No
- B3 on 02/12/2020 - 19:24
  
  That question doesn't make sense.
  
  Would the monitor be better with HDMI 2.1 that it doesn't have compared to the 2.0 that is has? Yes, but no monitors have HDMI 2.1 yet.
- palmplex on 02/12/2020 - 21:19
  
  Note that some existing TVs already support 120Hz at 4k in gaming mode via HDMI e.g Samsung Q80T QLED 4K Smart TV (2020) range of TVs ( 55" to 85") . Don't get confused by the marketing terms saying 200Hz smooth motion ( that's an internal magic trick , it don't mean it supports real 200Hz on a physical input !, similar with Hisense 4k TV saying 100Hz smooth motion , it input only supports 60Hz - 60fps )
  
  Samsung tech chatbot told me several of their TVs have a HDMI 2.1 interface but it only listed them as 4k@60Hz which may not be much use.
  
  I used the chatbot via livechat.support.samsung.com/Customer_Service/AU

  I believe this monitor PPI is about 111, which is slightly higher than a WQHD 34" ultrawide at about 109 PPI.
  
  If your happy with the pixel density on a 34" ultrawide running wqhd, U will have no issue with a 38" running 3840x1600
- twister292 on 02/12/2020 - 19:21

        @Kentrolla: The 3418DW does 120hz G-Sync.. I don't think 120 v 144 is going to be a game changer.
        
        Though the thing I did misread was that its 38' which is 4' larger than mine, so thats pretty good I guess.
        
        edit: my bad.. I was comparing this to AW3418DW not the 3818..
        
        Kentrolla on 02/12/2020 - 19:31
        
        @buckethat: Oh ok, well the 34" is a totally different monitor. Different native resolution (3440x1440 = 4.9M pixels) vs 3840x1600 = 6.1M

    Oh wow, you're right, I'm completely tripping, I thought it was 34'.
    
    Though, 120 v 144 is not a huge difference. HDMI is good if you need it I suppose, but DPI was always able to run it at max refresh rate.
    
    As for brightness, do you guys run your monitors on 100%? I usually run it at 75% or less brightness, so increased brightness doesn't seem that crucial to me.
    
    edit: my bad, was comparing this to AW3418DW which is what I have, I thought this was the same line of product.
