Best ultra wide G-Sync monitor on the market?

[TheNaitsyrk]

I had the AW3418DW Alienware's from DELL but each unit is defective because they stick PSU inside of the panel, so every time the right side becomes yellowish.

I had to return three. Disappointed.

 

Any other options when it comes to monitors that are at least 120Hz Gsync and 120Hz with no QC issues?

Are you looking for 3440x1440 or 2560x1080?

 

Personally I'm partial to the Acer Predator line

3440x1440. I wouldn't even mind 3840x1440.

Predator X34. 3440x1440, gsync. 100Hz native, 120Hz OC.

Don't they have QA issues?

Most likely one of these. Since G-sync is kinda pointless now that you can use Freesync/adaptive sync on both AMD GPUs, Some consoles and Nvidia GPUs.

I'd still take G-Sync though.

 

I think there's only 4 models available on the market with G-Sync and 3440x1440 and 120hz. PG349Q hasn't come out yet but that one will cost something else.

Pretty much every monitor manufacturer today got some kind of QC issues. Be it backlight bleed, dead pixel, uneven colour temperature etc.

Unever colour temperature is what I am afraid of.

 

I had two of these Alienware ones and when they stood side by side I could see that one is yellow and other one is white with same settings.

This LG one is one of the new monitors they've just released and it's an amazing monitor. They also have a Freesync version with Freesync 2 HDR and 144hz. They both cost pretty much the same so I'd trade those few milliseconds you gain with Gsync in return for the extra 24h and get the Freesync one instead:

LG are always top notch. I've got one of their 2560 x 1080 ultrawides and I've had no issues with it so far after 2 years.

Why tho?

 

You gain practically nothing, and you can use it with kess devices and its on average more expencive than the same panel with adaptive sync.

What budget are you working with. You specified the best, but you clearly have a budget.

I won't go for Freesync, even though it's apparently supported. The panels in Alienware monitor were LG panels..

Last year I went through 5 different monitors until I got one without any serious issues. I had:

Alienware AW3418HW - Defected with vertical line of dead pixels and uneven temperature.

Z35 - Horrible ghosting.

X34P - Horrible backlight bleed and uneven temperature.

Asus PG348Q - Horrible backlight bleed.

The one I stuck with is my current LG 34UC89G. It has some noticeable backlight bleed, but not too bad. Colour temperature is also a bit uneven, but again, not too bad.

 

The worst time of my life.

This is what I am going through now.

 

I had PG348Q that was perfect, but I sold it as I wanted more Hz.

Apparently it also suffers from same IPS problems just like other panels. The panel in Alienware one is LG panel so same thing.

So IPS glow?

 

If you are having issues, you return the panel untill there are none.

I mean I guess. But it costs me money to return every single time to ship back.

Dell warranty is excellent but they just kept sending me shit. Eventually they refused to replace.

You reffering to this Alienware monitor?

 

 

Just going to say that this and the LG i linked do not use the same panel. The Dell monitor is 34,1" but the LG one is 34"

 

Shouldnt have the same issues. 

 

Edit: yes i know the link doesnt work, ive doublechecked. They arent the same panel.

TFTcentral says it's an LG panel.

Different Panel size and as far as i can tell not the same IPS build-up. Aswell as different backlight

 

Just because it says LG doesnt mean its the same panel.

Same technology, same manufacturer. Not much different. I personally wouldn't go for that one, especially at a price premium of £1100.

You wanted the best, i delivered the best.

 

You reffering to IPS in general? 

 

And if you are talking about price premiums you wouldnt be going for Gsync. You would be aiming fir something like this:
