[MONITOR] 34 inch Ultrawide

[harharhar]

u can also add overwatch to this list. although it supports 21:9 but it actually a stretched 16:9 with lesser vertical view.

Was intending to buy a x34 until this happened.

I thought the latest patch added 21:9 support? Or is it in fact the stretched 16:9 you are saying? Sorry, I got no ultra-wide monitor to test with, only see the path notes

OK thanks! Where do you get the $10 item coupon from?

It was Mastercard coupon. It just works. Hmmm mine is still Mar 2016 batch. I wonder if it is good batch. They still charged me $10 for those small trolley when I asked can foc since I brought this big monitor. Hai even $200 printer can give trolley free leh.
Rem to bring ur own. It is not heavy but is bulky.

Hmm ok thanks. I am probably going to pay for the shipping since its $10 anyways. Did you buy from VideoPro?

The biggest title that doesn't support ultra wide properly is overwatch which drives me nuts. Having said that, ultra wide is getting so popular now that its almost 100% that future titles will definitely support it

I personally cannot default monitor stand. It looks strange and sticks out too far on a desk. I am using an ergo tech freedom arm. Frees up a lot of desk space and looks great:

Did you get the stand online or locally?

Yes Video Pro. If you buy, update your batch? They said mine is latest batch which is March. You can see it on the external box.
Although, I prefer even later batch, I think I got a perfect X34 with no dead/stuck pixel and OC easily.
There is a mount included. I'm not sure if you can use that direct onto wall or not.
I use the mount in between the monitor and my existing TV monitor.
It's a bit extra but you can direct screw the vesa 100X100. But then My speakers were too near the monitor edges, so sticking out 2 cm is fine with me.

To those asking about the arm:

I bought the arm from amazon. Hardwarecanucks also has a review of the ergotech arm on youtube which is worth checking out.

If im not wrong, my arm is the HD version with a higher load rating than the normal one. Install was smooth and problem free. Just followed the instructions, made the adjustments to spring tension and it was good to go

This site can help. Got lots of help for making games widescreen.
www.wsgf.org

I think got patch for FIFA 15, but dunno FIFA16 have or not.
Hope this helps.

i try until i give up.. i think Fifa15 still can, but 16 totally no support, not even Wsgf.. i gave up for some time.. one reason i go back to the usual acceptable resolution..

anyway when games support widescreen it's a superb feeling , like e.g. Witcher and driving games.. just awesome.

OK I'll update once I purchase, thanks!

Did you have to drill any holes or is it just clamped on to the desk?

Over watch does support 21:9 now. Just that the FOV is the same as blizzard do not allow unfair advantage to UW user.

The FOV is crap. Its stretched 16:9, not 21:9 and you lose some vertical viewing angle

Blizzard's excuse for not fully supporting ultra wide has been debunked by thousands of posts petitioning them to reverse their half baked decision. There is no more unfair advantage to ultra wide than there is to high end graphic cards offering higher frame rates, gaming mice with high DPI and high accuracy sensors, mechanical speed keyboards, and 144Hz monitors. Competitive games like CS:GO offers ultra wide support and no one complains..in fact competitive gamers aren't even using ultra wide..they're using 200Hz 1080p displays

BTW for the stand, it clamps to the desk. No drilling

Got my X34 today. Ordered from GamePro on Qoo10 and received it in a few days. I got a June manufactured batch and it OCs to 100Hz without any issues. Really good communication from them and now just waiting for my GTX 1080 to arrive...

The backlight bleed looks worse in the picture than it actually is. I tried watching a few movies with it and I don't really notice it at all. Overall very happy with this monitor
