    Those with anything less than a 4GB 770 SLI rig need not apply..

    Also, you have to laugh at the thought of a 34' screen in portrait mode...you'd need to lie on your back to use it unless you want a damaged neck.

    Have you used a curved display before?

    I'm not challenging you it's just that I haven't and I'm interested to see if you benefit from something being curved like this could be.

    I know the science behind the focal lengths to lessen eye strain (and why curved TV's are a bit of a gimmick) but I can't see it making a noticeable impact.

    Your thoughts?

    Re: News - AOC launches the u3477Pqu 34-inch UltraWide QHD monitor

    Nice looking monitor, pretty reasonable price for the size, (and the fact that it's 3yr's on site warranty).

    Not keen on speakers though, and putting in an RS-232 port on a monitor is just bizarre.

    34" pivot mount? Good luck operating that - my 19" is enough of a pig to make me wonder if you'll need to be Hercules to do a 34".

    Doing documentation updates at the moment so a widescreen like this would be really handy.

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...

    Just think of the number of tabs you'd be able to have open in Chrome...

    770s in SLI? Most games would be running in 2560x1440 on this (that gives a 27 inch screen with black bars) and a single 770 would be more than sufficient for gaming on this.

    It is smaller than two 22 inch monitors, so it shouldn't be a problem unless you like talking to more than one visitor at once. That stand would avoid the need to fit a monitor shelf to your desk.

    Re: News - AOC launches the u3477Pqu 34-inch UltraWide QHD monitor

    Ok I've wanted a 21:9 screen for a while, the older ones failed by being 1080p or silly expensive....

    But this one:
    34 inch - Yey!
    21:9 - Yey!
    IPS - Yey!
    £500 - Yey!
    1400p - Yey!

    So whats wrong with it?

    why?

    surely my R9 280X 3 gig card could play games on this, couldn't it?

    That's my thoughts on their last one.

    If this has input lag anything near the last one I used, I don't see the appeal. Even for basic 2D/3D work, it was really noticeable.

    Re: News - AOC launches the u3477Pqu 34-inch UltraWide QHD monitor

    Would a monitor like this correct the aspect ratio for older games that can't go super wide ? Just wondering as this monitor looks very tempting and I have a few old games i'd like to play through again.

    thanks. it will only be me sitting in front of it and possibly my missus when booking holidays etc. i will be looking at getting a fairly wide desk anyway due to my full tower in-win grone case.

    Re: News - AOC launches the u3477Pqu 34-inch UltraWide QHD monitor

    No doubt this is using the LG panel/screen.
    It seems LG's 34" 21x9 monitor is suffering from excessive backlight bleed after a few weeks of use due to construction problems.

    So I'm waiting for Dell's 34" to appear, will probably go for that one due to Dell's decent customer service.
