Nah, I don't care about Asus anymore since my experience with their monitor RMA. Had to RMA several times for dead pixels and stuff behind the screen. Their QC is absolute crap on their high-end monitors so I wouldn't buy this anyways.

If you are talking about any ASUS monitors with AU Optronics (ACER) panels, then that is the reason it had problems, AU Optronics has awful QC, which is why the monitors have a large amount of backlight bleed/IPS glow, if you look at ASUS monitors not using AU Optronic panels, they are much better, so AU Optronics is the problem

It seems to have good QC according to a few people, I will get mine on Thursday

Here we go again, why are you blaming ASUS for the problems, you know who makes the panels, AU Optronics (ACER) which is why most panels have a massive amount of backlight bleed/IPS glow, due to awful QC, if you look at ASUS monitors not from AU Optronics, they are much better, so look at who makes the panels, as that is the problem.

Not really going to do anything, the game is so cheap, so the hackers will just come back

I don't think there is quite yet a better solution than OLEDs... They seem basically perfect, apart from the high cost

Someone must be making something better

What is going to replace OLED later on?

So I need a nice new shiny display for my new killer PC. I am debating between an X34 and the Z35. Although I am open to other suggestions.

 

I intend to game on this machine. I am not into video/photo editing. I have some significant horsepower under the hood, so driving these higher end monitors shouldn't be an issue. (6700k overclocked to 4.8 and 2x Titan X SC)

 

The X34 is appealing due to the higher resolution. The Z35 is appealing due to the higher refresh rate. I'm unimpressed with the response time on both of these monitors -- would really like something in the 1ms - 2ms range. G-sync is a must, which isn't a problem for either of these monitors.

 

At this point I could talk in circles for hours. So this is a plea to anyone and everyone. What is your advice? Better resolution (X34) or better refresh rate (Z35), or something different entirely? I'm really open, but I would like to make the purchase in a day or two. So your help is appreciated.

I would wait for the ASUS PG348Q, the ACER Predator X34 has too many issues

Also the Z35 has awful response times due to the AU Optronics VA panel

Also do not expect a 3440x1440p 144hz Gsync this year, we do not know if these panels are going into production in Q2 or being released in Q2, the AU Optronics I expect will be Gsync, however AU Optronics have response times all over the place and do not make good VA panels (look at the ACER Predator Z35) also I expect QC to be awful

We need LG or Dell to make a 3440x1440p 144hz Gsync monitor, so do not expect a good 3440x1440p 144hz Gsync monitor this year

Actually it is Q3 for the bigger 3440x1440p 144hz panel

Samsung is not releasing any 3440x1440p 144hz panels. It is only AU Optronics who is releasing the 3440x1440p 144hz panels. However it is not confirmed to have Gsync or Freesync yet, also we do not know if the panel is going into production then or if it has finished production, also it does not mean that the monitor will be released then

Found more information, AU Optronics started production of the 2560x1080p 144hz panel in May 2015 and only just got released in December, so it took 7 months from production to release, so expect the 3440x1440p 144hz panel in Q1 2017

"AUO AMVA M350DVR01.0 2560x1080 4ms G2G 2000:1 300 172/178 16.7m sRGB W-LED 144Hz 21:9 Curved 2000R May-15"

Some of you are saying AMD has a working high end sample of their GPU, however this could be the R9 490x, it might not be the successor for the Fury X

It's fine How else would sub zero coolers work?

I was not sure if they had to use special Thermal Paste for LN2

Also I was not sure if the conditions change once the Thermal Paste has cured

Hello

Can I ask, I am transporting my PC by post, my Thermal Paste has been on for over 80 hours, it will be in a cold environment, 4-8c, could even reach -2c, do you know if the Thermal Paste will be fine to use after the transportation or would I need to reapply it due to being too cold

It is MX2 Thermal Paste, it is on both GPU and CPU

Thanks

We do not know if ASUS is using a different version of the panel from LG

Also we do not know if most samples can get to 100hz yet, we need to wait for user reviews

Anyone know when it will release?

It is 12th February in the UK

I have the MSI GTX 980 Ti gaming 6G

If you want to play Witcher 3 Ultra with Hairworks, expect around 30-35 FPS, as two GTX 980ti overclocked, can only get 60 FPS

However, with Battlefront you will get around 70-80 FPS with one GTX 980ti

I understand that it's not confirmed, but how can you say the info is wrong? Do you have a confirmed source saying otherwise?

Well the fact that this source is not reliable, it comes from an article made 3 months ago and NVIDIA did not have a working sample at CES, it seems quite obvious that high end Pascal is not coming out this year, I expect mid end Pascal to come out this year

Yeah, I'm all about experience. I want a monitor so beautiful when I put on Witcher 3 on ultra it will blow my mind. I don't care very much about most competitive shooters. Just don't know if the PG348Q will have better QC then Acer's X34 QC

You will need decent GPUs then, what GPUs you got at the moment

If every report that was unconfirmed was removed from these forums, the LTT forums would be pretty bare.

This article needs to have "Unconfirmed" then, as that source is terrible and if you read it, the information is wrong.

This needs removing, as it fake, you can tell if you actually read the article.

This source is fake, please remove it, no where in that source does it confirm the Pascal GP100 to be released in April, also why would NVIDIA make a massive gap between the GP100 Titan and GP100 1080ti, it makes no sense, also if you read he says debut, not release, expect a Q1 2017 for GP100

It's insanely over priced. It can't even actually be expanded in a reasonable fashion because they only use one qdc fitting.

Dude I have a custom watercooled computer with basically all ek parts. I know their quality. It's still insanely overpriced for the functionality and utility it gives you.

So if you look at Swiftech's 240X, that is £155 here in the UK, for a 240mm radiator, if you compare that with the EK Predator 360mm, the EK Predator 360mm gives you an easily expandable loop, a 360mm radiator, better pump, three fans with a better design and better quality components.

So it is not overpriced, if you take the EK Predator 240mm and Swiftech 240X, the EK Predator 240mm is only £5 more expensive, for a much better design and more quality components.

1. No

2. No but they should be very comparable.

3. Normal length but not normal depth, the res is obviously mounted in an odd spot that will not help compatibility.

4. EK is insanely stupidly overpriced. IMO get an x61 and some nice fans and call it a day. The X2 will also be a little bit over priced, but between the two the X2 (from past experience) will probably be better.

 

280>=360 with equal quality fans

The EK Predator 360mm is not overpriced, it actually has quality parts in it, unlike other AIOs

EK Predator 360mm, I got 5930K 4.4Ghz 1.36V and I get 54-60c when gaming.

Hello

There has been an update on the monitor

It features 60hz and 100hz, using the Turbo button and it now features ULMB

http://rog.asus.com/465372016/gaming-monitors/ces-2016-rog-swift-pg348q-mysterious-new-rog-24

Thanks

what issues ive heard nothing of any issues with it.

Let me start

Coil whine

Not reaching 100hz

Scan line issues (where you see lines on the screen at low FPS)

Settings being reset

It has had two recalls

Issues now fixed

Wake up issue

Colour banding

I would wait for the ASUS PG348Q, it should be better, as ACER QC is awful
