Because it doesn't mention what type of panel it is, my bet's on TN.
Uh yeah, I'll pass, especially with the price being so close to a ROG Swift yet without G-Sync. Sorry but 16:10 is great for productivity but not as big of a difference from 16:9 for games as 21:9 is.

That and if truly TN, any vertical greatness would instantly be shat upon by massive color shift -_-
ha you're right, it doesn't actually state the panel type...WTF? why?
EDIT:
LOL i contacted customer support and they don't even know. they had to create a 'case' to get me the information at a later date.
Viewing angles are spec'd as 178/178 so that leans toward it being an IPS. 6ms has been quoted on IPS monitors in the past so it is plausible there too...
No way I'm paying $750 for a Monoprice monitor though =/.
hmmm im kind of interested. anyone buy one yet?
also is there anyway this could work with FreeSync later?
why? because it would be a sub-par screen encasement? plastic is plastic. if it turns out to be IPS, it is an LG display, and has a good response time....then why the hell not? i'd say that's a pretty decent price for 120hz if it really is IPS.
Thing is, the piece of trash known as the Swift is basically a TV without a tuner (16:9). This could be the first decent LCD monitor.
^ keep meaning to post that I don't understand why you went for 3+1 instead of just getting one more for 5x. In for a penny, in for a pound
With so many affordable 4K solutions presenting themselves though, for STRICTLY GAMING I find large format displays (or even quality 4K projection, whenever it reaches sub-$5000) to be incredibly more visually stimulating than Eyefinity/Surround, especially since I hate the fish-eye effect in non-racing games. For productivity, of course multimonitor wins hands-down.
Really embarrassing that you don't get info on whether it is TN or IPS. Why are they hiding that? They say 178 viewing angles which implies IPS but not stating it outright is suspect at best.
Also, any monitor that you're going to game on that hasn't G/F-Sync in 2015 is a pointless purchase, it's the biggest thing that have happened to gaming in a long time, a bigger deal than SSDs by a wide margin.

Toasted the Monoprice monitor.
Wtf, 60hz at that price?!?!
Unless there's some configuration error or firmware upgrade, this is so fail...
It still might be a better choice than the 3014 if it is PWM free, free from extreme overshoot ghosting unlike the 3014/LT3053P/Crossover 30X and has a decent sRGB mode. I'd also like to know what you think of the glow and about your room lighting. I measured 121cm/4ft as the 'glow free' distance from the Z30i I tested when using 1x 2500 lumen 6500k light with the monitor set to 140cdm/2.
You could make a brief YouTube video with your photos and a voice over to ensure more people find out, or a video, and likely make some money too.
