Get the Dell S2716DG. $600 on Amazon, and seems to have far better QC than the equivalent Asus or Acer models. Still reports of some lemons, but the S2716DG thread here isn't filled with nearly the hatred the other two are. :) Plus Dell tends to be much better to deal with for longer term...

Assuming you went from a GSync 1440P panel to this one, was the transition painful from a gaming perspective? I've heard it's tough to give up the GSync fluidity once you've lived with it for a while. Or was the immersiveness of the larger panel enough of an offset?

If you decide to stay 21:9, consider the LG. I got to see both the Dell and LG (UM95) side by side earlier this year at Frys, and while both looked great the LG had better contrast, and seemed to have more motion smoothness, but they were displaying different things. You do pay a premium for...

Keep in mind, this monitor will be $650 on Black Friday. If you have a commercial account or your company buys a lot of stuff from Dell, see if you can get into the MPP page for early access (11/19) to the Black Friday deals.

I was totally confused by your post until I realized that we're all assuming different monitors when just 'Dell' is mentioned. ;) I'm looking at the 27" S2716DG, which has Gsync and is quite a bit faster than the X34, but obviously gives up the ultra-wide form factor. According to Dell's...

Yeah, crap... I think I'll go ahead and try to pick up the Dell on their Black Friday sale and ride it for a good 6 months or so, and see how the prices / models look mid next year. I'm sure in a couple of years time we'll be sporting thin, fast OLED panels cut to a variety of sizes and...

From that Overclock.net thread, just a bit ago: Take that for what it's worth, which may not be much given the unverifiable source, but would certainly explain the inability to backorder from any of the big sources.

Vega, I noticed your 'pit posts over on the DCS forums. My gaming time is split between sims (DCS and BoS) and shooters/RTS, but flight sims are usually what I love the most (and spend the most money on.) Are you flying with the X34, the Swift, or that huge OLED? I'd love to go larger than...

Is there any news *at all* of any displays in this size range coming with GSync?

In the absence of any sale pricing on the Asus, it's also going to be cheaper on Black Friday.

That was a really good review. I'd thought the XB270HU had made the Swift obsolete, but it sounds like it's not so clear cut. Unfortunately my gaming hobby is split mainly between FPS (BF4, looking forward to the Doom remake next year, etc.) and Flight Sims (DCS and BoS), so the...

I'm not up on state of the art in OLED tech... what's the transition speed of the OLEDs? Is that 50ms lag a product of early firmware, or is it more a fundamental limitation to the tech itself? The picture quality prospects are exciting, but I'm not going to get too wrapped up in it myself if...

This. And given how over-the-top that stand is, I wish they'd cut $50 off and sell a version without it for people that are going to use a VESA mount.

In the future, there are only resolution wars. If the Predator is the only larger monitor out at that point or the immediate future with those specs (refresh rate, GSync, etc.), then I'll be in line as well for the *second* batch. The Swift left a bad taste for getting in on the ground...

Thanks for looking into the lag for us. I was initially excited for the Benq version back when it came out, as the size, price point, and resolution all seemed to hit a perfect spot, but the input lag was terrible. Probably still going to wait for the upcoming 21:9 Gsync panel, but if it has...
