So I created this topic to help answer questions regarding this product. So far early impressions, great screen, no dead pixels, some back light bleed on the top right and top left corners, and overclocks to 100hz without issues.

Edit: just a heads up, the scan line issue that Acer X34 monitors experience is present with this monitor as well, not surprised since they both use the same panel. However it doesn't bother me as its only noticeable against single solid colored backgrounds i.e. Blue skies and you also have to look for it to see it. Easy to loose them during actual gaming. Jus thought I would warn potential buyers who were holding off hoping this issue would be resolved.

Cool! Where did you order it from? I don't see it listed on Amazon or Newegg - yet.

I got a PG278Q back in Nov of 2014 for my new computer rig. It's been awesome for gaming! Especially with upgrading from a Dell 24" 1080p monitor that was 5-8 years old. I've been thinking about eventually upgrading to a bigger and better monitor. Philips 4065UC 40" 4k was one I was considering. Or maybe this one.

I found it at an online retailer located in the United Arab Emirates called gear-up.me. I usually buy from them and was surprised they had it in stock so I placed the order without giving it a second thought.

Congrats on the new monitor! I'm extremely jealous, I definitely should look into getting one as it looks really amazing.

Sweet jesus, $1,555. I sure hope that doesn't indicate the price it will be sold in the US. Though from the videos I have seen of people already getting them the QC looks good. Frankly if they price it the exact same as the X34 they could make up for the fact that they are later to market.

I wouldn't worry too much about that price we pay a premium over the usual retail prices over here. I think it will be priced same as the Acer x34. It's practically the same monitor with the exception of outside design and OSD.

Can't wait to make this the crown jewel in my system. The last piece for a long while.

It is a great monitor I have been waiting for it ever since it was announced. At the time I had a LG 21:9 monitor. Recently however most of the latest games lacked support for multi gpus and it was a struggle to keep 60fps with a single gpu at the highest settings. I had to compromise and go with the Asus PG279Q.

Honestly right now gsync is now one of the most essential technologies to own when it comes to PC gaming. The PG348Q just hit the sweet spot and combined 21:9 and Gsync with a badass looking monitor.

To make this short, great monitor definitely worth the wait lol.

Hi guys !

A little light bleed is common with all IPS displays, you should only notice it in a dark room with a black background.

I did a simple google search and it appears that EQ2 does support 21:9 at this resolution. You may need to download a custom mod to make the UI look better in 21:9.
