Originally i'm going for X315 pro found out that there is no sound output, i just switch to 340 pro for additional HDMI port and audio jack port(in case i want to connect to speaker for console gaming). HDMI 2.0 for gaming comp, HDMI 1.4 for working comp and additional HDMI port for my XBOX ONE.

Sacrificing 144 for 100 as i felt my current gaming lappy will not be able to support high refresh rate gaming. Im on 1070 too... has tested MW warzone setting and only get 40-60FPS. So untill i get new gaming comp, im stuck with high resolution and low fps gaming experience.

No i wont go for low resolution and high fps. I dont mind getting fragged but no no for looking at shitty graphic.

fresh 5 hours experience of 340 Pro.
1. Color is really off, yellow tint so much. after manually tune it. no issue.
2. 34" curve gaming experience.
Diablo 3 3D depth look so awesome.
MW warzone, yes finally i can see clear and f.ck it so clear. now can see human running around far, coming from 17" lappy screen it is heaven
3. Productivity, now can have 2x 17" screen to work on.
4. Using monitor arm, adjusting the monitor height for max comfort.
5. there is no button for quick switching input. i hope they come out with firmware update for changing the gaming button for quick switching of input.

Verdict, for the price you paid. it is worth it.

F270i 3 Years 14 days 3 Bright OR 5 Dark OR Total 5

Can try call them and ask, but to be honest i don't understand why is this policy never contested in the market. I buy monitor i expect nothing but perfection, maybe some bleeding or glow i can tahan. If possible should just use the lazada mall return policy

Hi i have a nvidia 2070super jet stream gpu. Considering x340 pro or x315 pro. Just wondering whether 100hz vs 144hz whats ghe difference? My current set up is 2 27inch dell monitors with 60hz... intending to keep 1 27inch and 1 x340 or x315. Which one would you recommend me to get?

Since you're going to use it for gaming, skip 340 because ultrawide is not universally supported for majority of the games and finding ultra-wide fixes is more irritating than anything.

Thanks! Would 100hz matter alot compared with 165hz? Nowadays most games would uwide screen right?

I also do a lot of document and coding work beyond gaming as well

If you are a casual gamer 100hz to 144hz is good enough.
If your gfx card cant acheive 100fps to 144fps then having such high refresh rate also no use.

Good advice. Buy through lazada instead of direct. Got option of initiating return of product.

Finally bought X340 Pro, after considering various options.

The most problematic issue is the washed out colours... Just like many have mentioned before. I'm using MacBook Pro and there are X340 ICC profile built-in the Operating System. I wonder if there is a difference asking from Prism directly

DCR and Cool doesn't seem to help much. Any other tips to look 'normal' in colours?

Another issue is that I can't seems to drive 100 Hz with HDMI 2.0 cable and port. MBP supports it, but it doesn't work. I'm waiting for Displayport to USB-C cable and see if it can offer 100 hz.

I installed the monitor with Opus arm, which is newer and more expensive. The Arc 01 and stealth are out of stock, and I didn't want to wait longer. Some minor issues but it works.

I am using X340 Pro as well. I am able to achieve 100hz using display port / hdmi cable to my PC. Please take note that only the HDMI beside display port is under HDMI 2, the rest is HDMi 1.4

i also awaiting sharing for the color setting

Below is my setup
