    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    That isn't true. There are plenty of monitors that can do greater than 60hz. Most can't go much above 60hz without frameskipping but many can at least do 72hz which just so happens to be a multiple of 24. For instance, Dell 29" 21:9 and my own AOC 21:9 monitor can both handle 72hz without issue...

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - AOC u3477pqu

    Much of AOC's business is in Europe and Asia. They often launch their products there first. This isn't a cause for a temper tantrum. We are lucky that many products launch first in the USA but not all companies do or should have to. If a company publicly states their first batch bound for the...

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - AOC u3477pqu

    The delay was confirmed on twitter: https://twitter.com/aoc_monitors/status/524932458861838336 Yes that's what it is. They don't *want* to sell in the US and Europe. I commend them for delaying the release rather than keep selling products known to have problems. *Cough* LG *Cough*

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - AOC u3477pqu

    Thanks for the link! I am in the same boat. AOC is saying that the first batch had issues which is why the UK and US release has been delayed. I'm curious to see how this second batch turns out.

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - AOC u3477pqu

    FWIW, I contacted AOC support and got a reply from two different reps that stated US availability would be in November. Difference between 60hz and 85hz is actually quite noticeable. Even 75hz is a pretty noticeable jump. There are diminishing returns when it comes to higher refresh rates...

    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    No, unfortunately not. I asked them if there was any information available on the US release and all they came back with was November.

    FWIW, I spoke with 2 different AOC representatives about the U3477PQU and both said it would be available in the USA sometime in November.

    Oculus Rift Sales May Be Suspended as Components Run Low

    Your thesis is that it should be treated as a development project? I thought that much was obvious. The development kit is $300 not $1500. $300 is the target for the consumer version as well. You snicker at 50,000+ development kits? I'd call that a success for a crowd funded VR project. It is...

    Oculus Rift Sales May Be Suspended as Components Run Low

    Haha...you know they used crowd sourcing to fund development right? Why on earth would you advocate for the company to shut up? As a company the Rift has only been in development for a year and a good part of that year was hiring for a team. Yet they've already sold 50,000+ development kits...

    Oculus Rift Sales May Be Suspended as Components Run Low

    The first dev kit is near EOL anyway. The next Dev kit shares little in common with the original.

    Ubuntu 13.10 May Ditch Firefox for Chromium

    This decision makes sense to me. On the desktop, I think both Chromium and Firefox are equally good and it comes down to personal preference. For a mobile experience Chromium wins right now and hence why they are changing the default. Firefox is still a few clicks away for those that prefer it.

    IPS Monitors for Gaming

    I was being sarcastic :D I think both myself and Sycraft understand there are some benefits to a 120hz TN monitor for gaming. We both have a 120hz TN panel and an IPS and yet we both prefer the IPS overall. I'm not sure why you would consider people who have been able to try both and happen to...

    LG 29EA93

    290mm would seem to fit better with the pixel pitch. Unfortunately, that's probably a little too small for me.
