Just a tip if you live in Canada, try shipping to one of the border parcel pickup places. 24/7 Parcel is pretty good imo, but that's for if you live in BC. That way you can actually use the free shipping from amazon.

No bezel if you get the PB278Q which is better IMO though. It's 2560x1440... Decent screen real estate. Also 5ms instead of 6ms which is better for gaming as well. 5ms seems to be the threshold for response time to me, I can't stand much more than that. Not sure about the input lag on the PB238QS but the PB278Q is pretty decent.

MBI is a lot better, they're much cheaper per parcel.

If you want to run three in eyefinity I hope you have 2 beast video cards...

They likely have the same response time in real life. You'll never notice a millisecond and the claimed timings are usually quite off anyway.

I can't compare it to Eyefinity, but this monitor is AMAZING. The LG monitor Linus reviewed might be on Massdrop for around $500 soon too.

The 34"? I doubt that..

Nope, I don't live out that way. Shouldn't be hard to find though in such a metropolitan area.

I have an eyefinity setup now but wouldn't mind getting rid of all three for just the one ultrawide. 

 

And I have a 7990.
