Returning Xr341CK. What now?

TymmVonD

My monitor won't sleep correctly. Asked for help here but didn't get much as this monitor is still new. It wasn't Gsync. So games under 60fps was horrible. I'd get screen tearing in all fps ranges, and on top of all the issues I've read about this display, I've decided I'm getting my money back. So, I really need help swaying me on what next. I'm on a 16:9 1080p display right now. It feels so 2005.

 

Ok...

 

I def felt a difference going from 1ms to 4ms, but was it worth it for IPS? I'm undecided. 

 

I was still hitting over 75fps at 3440x1440 on alot of games I play. 

 

Anyways, with the X34 being out of stock in the places I shop, I'm going back to 16:9(maybe next year)...4K TN at 60fps with Gsync and 1ms(more res, faster response), or 1440p IPS at 144Hz with Gsync at 4ms(better blacks and colors, high refresh)? Or is there something I'm missing?

 

2nd 980 Ti will be coming within a month or 2.

I'm rocking a ASUS PG279Q, and it's awesome! (27inch 16:9 1440p IPS  G-Sync 165hz  4ms). The 3ms tradeoff for the IPS colour richness was totaly worth it! And no tearing form 1 to 165 fps what do you want more :D btw; also coming from a 1080p TN 60hz panel

Those are either sold out or not stocked for QC issues at all major retailers in the U.S. That goes for all ROG monitors. Only thing available here is the Acer displays.

it's pretty much the same here in germany, i got lucky and got one at release :D, i saw that you want to get a secound 980ti, maybe 3440x1440p is better anyway. so you could wait for the release of the Asus PG348Q (basically the X34 from ASUS) and get one instantaneously on launch

News to me, so I looked it up...no info since September. I just read through a 70+ page forum on the X34 and the problems it's been having. So, I'm guessing Asus is not taking any chances after seeing what Acer is going through. I wouldn't be surprised if they scrap the PG348Q and start over, seeing as they use the same panels.

you could be rigth asus is a smart company maybe they wait until a new panel comes out. But that all leaves the question: What now? as you have said before. i think the answer is you have to wait.
