  1. Just got an email to say they will be deciding by the 7th, bit more patience guys, everyone is still a contender, good luck.
  2. Hey all, Just got this in on the last day, the 27th, then watched the Linus video again and he said the 25th! Hope the website's 27th was right, went to a bit of effort. Anyhoo, have a laugh at my expense.

    The Samsung is a high end office monitor, its great for Excel and Word, and Samsung has some major issues with lightbleeding so you get really uneven blacks, terrible for gaming and noticeable colour variation which is quite immersion breaking. Get the LG, make it happen, I've made the massive sacrifice of selling 2 monitors and using the LG for my main rig AND racing sim chassis, hope I can make it through the winter these guys have stock arriving any day now, don't think it will be tomorrow being Anzac day, but next week, 3 days ago that still had stock from the first order unallocated http://www.mwave.com.au/product/lg-34um95-ips-34-3440-x-1440-5ms-thunderbolt-hdmi-led-professional-monitor-ab54391 $1299 in Australia, pretty happy with that normally we get f'ed in the a. If they run out http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Monitors/25%2B_inch/54493-34UM95-P I've purchased from both these guys, as good as pccasegear, mwave uses Startrack which is awesome, next day never fail.
  4. I was running 8000x1440 with bezel correction in Nvidia Surround on my main rig, hitiing 60fps at ultra settings and loving it. I saw this AOC 29" ultrawide for 500 clams and thought why not, it'll be perfect for my racing simulator, I'll be able to see more of the corners without the hassle of 3 screens. It only took about a month and i had sold all 3 Samsung WQHDs and had the ultrawide on my main rig, it's so much closer to my natural field of view and i've known for quite some time that I'll never go back to 16:9 and couildn't give less of a toss about 4K. Sadly the only thing that was lacking was size and resolution, oh how I wished for a 3360x1440 model (thats the resolution my calculator told me) that was a bit bigger. And then you came along [guitar sound] the LG 34UM95, the crazy wizard in the sky took a break from gving AIDS to babies and granted my wish. In Australia this has an ETA of the 25th and RRP is $1299, I have ordered from mwave who I've bought from before and seem pretty decent, unlike some retailers that are into the 1400s I have not run into any issues with 21:9 over about a hundred games, flawless widescreen has come to the rescue for Witcher 2, Skyrim, BF4, Dishonored, LA Noire even South Park. Buy this monitor, you will not regret it, it is an investment.
