      You gonna be able to run AAA games on ultra at 4k 144hz? If not, what's the point of this comment?

          Lol but it's a gaming monitor.

    • shiny1 on 27/12/2018 - 00:56

      You do understand that other things drive up the price of a monitor, right?
      Resolution is one thing, but as far as 34" ultrawides go, 1440p resolution @ 120hz with G-sync is the best combination right now. Compare that with a 27" 4k 144hz monitor and you're looking around $3k.

          QHD instead of WQHD, Freesync instead of GSync, VA instead of IPS.

                @O O: i didn't look at it that close. but that's a better deal than that alienware. all alienwares are pricey, just like their lappies, you pay for the brand name instead of the quality.

                  @Jenova: Do your research mate this Alienware was or is the best ultrawide you could get for a long time. Many YouTubers and reviews have stated this also. There are rivals however like the Acer predator x34p and the Asus variant. Those 3 were the best or are the best ultrawide you could get for gaming for the last two years. Alienware is of course the priciest but it's the best looking according to many and it's quality control is said to be the best among the three. I myself got the x34p last week for $1076 And have no regrets, its great!! If all 3 were equal in price I 100% would have gotten the alienware however. Either way all 3 variants are great but X34p is the best bang for buck version and I am very happy with my purchase.

        Honestly I see his point.

        $1500 for a monitor that is out of date for the latest video game tech as many have a HDR feature nowdays.

        Not worth it.

        • magic8ballgag on 27/12/2018 - 10:19

          $1500 for a monitor that is out of date for the latest video game tech as many have a HDR feature nowdays.

          It's specifications are quite current and high-end, HDR hasn't been implemented into PC gaming enough to warrant it a sought-after feature.

            @magic8ballgag: Not right now, but you don't spend $1500 for right now, I would be buying it for the next 5 years minimum.

            • magic8ballgag on 27/12/2018 - 10:46

              @samfisher5986: This monitor could easily be relevant five years from now, would it be the best? Not likely, but with the rapid-rate of advancement in modern technology, that is difficult to constantly achieve unless upgrading every ~2 years.

                @magic8ballgag: Not really, its pretty easy.

                Buy a monitor today with HDR and you'll be ahead a lot longer then buying this monitor.

                Its not a difficult thing to figure out.

                • magic8ballgag on 27/12/2018 - 11:10

                  @samfisher5986: As stated by others, the only monitor with these specifications are the Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ and Acer Predator X35 (which share the same panel), these haven't even been released yet and will most likely retail upwards of ~$2,000 AUD, so you can't really recommend it as an option just yet.

                  • O O on 27/12/2018 - 11:24

                    @magic8ballgag: There is another monitor with HDR, LG 34GK950G. IMO, untill FALD HDR is available, these monitors make not much different. FYI, here is a review on LG 34GK950G).

                    • magic8ballgag on 27/12/2018 - 11:38

                      @O O: That monitor doesn't appear to have HDR, although it's still quite nice and I didn't even know it existed, so thanks for sharing.

      Why buy a BMW M5 for $250,000 when you could find a $100,000 car that would do about the same speed? There are other aspects like comfort, features, speed, and a whole lot of other stuff that YOU wouldn't consider important, but other people would.

      Same for this monitor. You only care about 4k or HDR, other people prefer ultrawide and 120hz.

    • incipient on 27/12/2018 - 03:18
      +2

      I know the title says WQHD, but it's actually UWQHD. So the next res up isn't 4k, it's 5k ultrawide (UWUHD? but I haven't seen that terminology used formally).

      So far there is 1 such monitor I know which is the LG. It's US$1500 and has mediocre reviews.

      So basically you want tech that doesn't exist yet. Good luck.

      • Diji1 on 27/12/2018 - 00:46

        X34P sometimes goes as low as $1200.

        • shiny1 on 27/12/2018 - 00:59

          It's already $1200 on ebay, and with a 10% discount, it'll be around $1100. However, I missed a 2nd hand bargain that sold for $850 while I was driving and I've vowed to match or beat that price no matter how long I have to wait.

          • Velocita on 27/12/2018 - 01:37

  • Arcticfox on 27/12/2018 - 01:54

    I got this monitor a few months ago and it is spectacular. I will never go back to a screen less than ultrawide ever again, the difference is hard to explain until you have been gaming on it.

    Ignore the HDR plebs, they are the ones that probably buy mobile phones based on camera mega pixels as well…

    • firsttimeuser7 on 27/12/2018 - 09:49

      Yep I got my x34p and it's sooo good dude! I went from a 24 inch 1080p 4 year old monitor to this and it's great!!!

    Don't forget about the Dell 7% cash back with cash rewards. So it brings it down to about $1360.67.

    Cash reward ends on thee 27th of December so I'm not too sure if it's at 12am midnight or midnight of 28th…..

    • magic8ballgag on 27/12/2018 - 10:57

      So it brings it down to about $1360.67.

      How did you get to this price? My calculations are showing ~$1389 after cash back ($1494.24 - 7%).

      • lightcn on 27/12/2018 - 11:21

        I'm not sure. I just checked my cashrewards and I'm getting $133.57 back.

        • magic8ballgag on 27/12/2018 - 11:22

          That works out to be roughly 9% cash back instead.

  • jiberz on 27/12/2018 - 07:17

    Wonder how they get the extra 20HZ over the others.

    • incipient on 27/12/2018 - 09:40

      At a guess, binning/quality (when compared to the 100hz models). I expect the controllers etc would be the same.

    • firsttimeuser7 on 27/12/2018 - 09:53

      Its the same as X34P, it is 100 HZ native and can be over clocked to 120 HZ from the settings quite easily in my experience with the x34p.

      • jiberz on 27/12/2018 - 10:59

        Ahh didn't realise acer had a 120HZ one too now.

  • slothhead on 27/12/2018 - 08:59

    Thanks OP - I'm very tempted! What is the difference, besides exterior design, between this and the x34p which can regularly be purchased for sub $1100 on ebay with their 10% sales? Trying to work out if this one is worth the additional $300…

    • incipient on 27/12/2018 - 09:38
      +1

      It's not worth the extra, generally the higher up you go the less worth it is. Just depends if you want to pay it.

      I'd say mostly paying for quality/branding/accessories (like the "gaming centric osd").

    • magic8ballgag on 27/12/2018 - 10:39
      +2

      From what I've read, the QA and warranty provided by Dell are much better than that of Acer.

    • Arcticfox on 27/12/2018 - 11:11
      +1

      I was in the same position and eventually settled on the Alienware because of the following differences:
      Alienware has:
      - NO power brick - the X34P requires one
      - Preferred the very clean look of the Alienware over the X34P - did not like the Predator logo bottom centre of the screen. Personal preference only.
      - LED lighting is located on the back of the monitor, which I preferred - X34P has them on the bottom edge of the screen
      - Stand more solid and stable, some reviews said the X34P could wobble slightly on desks

      I think both are great choices, but the Alienware ticked all my boxes.

  • TheWoos on 27/12/2018 - 14:56

    Guys, i own and it is a great monitor, however, be aware that you cannot play Xbox One X or PS4 Pro at 1440p @ 60Hz as this resolution (2560x1440p) is not supported by the monitor (Same with Predator), only 1920x1080p at 120Hz on the Xbox One X on this monitor, other than that it is faultless. I have this and a Phillips 436M6VBPAB 4K HDR10 43" Monitor and Sony 45ES Projector and i play everything on this Monitor (other than movies or HDR10 content).
    No idea why they never chose to add support for the 2560x1440p resolution but they didnt. Other than this monitor is awesome, i got it for $1600 a few months back but this is definately the lowest it has been in Australia.

  • jake93s on 27/12/2018 - 16:23

    i wouldn't say this is good value. $1500 for a Alienware monitor, their brand isn't really associated with Quality. I got my Asus 34inch 100hz gsync strix monitor for 850$ and just a quick look you can get the x34 on sale for $1150 atm. much nicer looking display, and also not Alienware, so you will still have some credibility left.

      For hardcore gamers, every ms respond time count. Here is a test result from TFT Central

      Acer Predator X34 5.25ms 3.95ms 9.20ms

        That was normally on Rev 03-04 or when switching from 100 Hz to 120 Hz on the Panel. and sometimes IPS glow or top corners only noticeable in very dark Room.

        Rev05 only minimizes the IPS glow, there were few reports with park patches and stuck pixels
        https://imgur.com/o5A1RCi

        Few people reported REV 05 to be flawless , have to wait and see , Hopefully we do not have to RMA the Unit otherwise you get refurbished one.
        The refurbished ones were going cheap for 850+ not long ago from EBay and Amazon Dell store. i was tossing between two and went for New unit instead.
