Wow, this ticks every box for me. If only something like this had been available a year ago - got the Samsung 32" CHG70 at the time and been very happy with it but this exceeds it in every way.

That really is a cracking spec and price. will it reach these shores at £400 doubt it.. Would be very happy if I am proved wrong.

Pretty standard but welcome features are the flicker-free and blue light reducer technologies, as these are better for your peepers whatever you are watching on the monitor.
Er.. got any evidence to back up that assertion? Last bit of research I saw said blue-light filters don't do anything beneficial, and actually may be worse for you.

Yes, sorry, the low blue light filter might be a waste of time or even counterproductive, as I wrote back in December.

Please review this when it’s out! I’m looking for… well, this exact monitor by the sounds of things. Sort of wish it was curved though. Anything I should know about the bran or panel type? I’m not up to speed on monitors lol

iiyama were always a great brand with great reliability when I used them in the past I now use Dell monitor not for any issues with iiyama, it just has G-Sync.

Indeed.
My CRT screen was a Iiyama that lasted +10 years, and so are my current LCD screen ( my first LCD as i held out for so long on the 21“ CRT screen )
And nice stuff or not, i am not ditching my fairly ”new" screen, and when i update again i would prefer it be to something else but LCD.
This screen must die or i win lotto money, or a length of time pass by before i get a new screen.

EDIT: nevermind you can still do this. Use mobile browsing, use Google with the monitor code to get the ebuyer listing, view another product on Ebuyer, check the recently viewed items list.

Edit Edit: since revealing the secret to Phage their price bumped up to £473.99. Assuming those things aren't related, maybe it's available soon.

At £400 this will be, very, very tempting. Maybe not enough of an upgrade over my current 34" 21:9 display to justify spending the money though. Unless I can talk myself into it. If I can find a way to see one in person and it impresses then I think I'll be telling Mrs. AnotherDave my monitor has developed a fault and needs to be replaced.

We need see a test especially compared to the Acer XV340CK - which appears to be similar, but has poor reviews

EDIT: and the LG 34GK950F

box.co.uk now has it on pre order for delivery 16th May. I hope Hexus review this monitor.

Looks nice

I now have this monitor.

I am really liking it so far.

Very little assembly required. Back plate already attached to the monitor. Only need to attach the base with finger tight screw.

Freesync is disabled by default so you have to enable it in the OSD. It does work with G sync and I have this enabled.

Only tried two games so far. Warframe and Call of duty modern warfare.

If you have any questions let me know.

Just discovered a strange issue. The link above shows the issue. in the middle of the screen it isn't displaying properly. It looks like someone has tried to join some lines together but has done a very poor job of it. I saw it on one application and thought it was the application. If I scroll the line follows so appears to be how that part of the screen is rendered.

edit: done some googling and found a reference to being a g sync issue. I have turned monitor off and on and now seems to be ok.
