I have no logical use for such a vast amount of pixels, yet somehow I couldn't stop myself entering ;)
I suppose if I win I'l have to upgrade my gaming rig to kaveri for hybrid crossfire shenanigans! :rockon:
Thanks hexus :)
Nice. Will have to make some room on my desk for that!
Who needs multi-monitor with a monitor that wide ? Yes please hexus, stick my name in the hat !
Oh Please can I have one Please please :D
Entered! Not sure if I'd prefer 27“ 1440p or 29” ultrawide 1080p though.
Ok now this I want pretty please.
Oh dear god I need it. I've always wanted a wide FOV for gaming but didnt like the idea of bezels in the way.
Would be sweet on my desk. Thank you hexus and partners for another great prize.
Very nice monitor!
Would make gaming, work and even managing my home server so much easier with that FOV!
Entered.
Nice prize , could do with this sweet monitor

Who needs multi-monitor with a monitor that wide ?
I'd still like to have 3 of these in surround, but I am just being greedy
Have to say that I never consider Philips when looking at monitors but this little beauty has changed my concepts of them. Nice one Philips & Hexus for this Comp.
Who needs 3 monitors when you have one of these
Cheers Hexus
Just entered competition, bad luck to every one else!!!!!!! I want it!!! :p
Some how, I would prefer to win tonight's 80mil euro lottery for some reason!! :rolleyes:
Entered, this would make my photo editing soooo much easier, having to wear glasses to use my existing screen :(
i have an ultrawide dell that was on sale recently at Aria for £320ish. for gaming and films that retain their uber-wide cinema ratio it is awesome!
Edit - maths fail
Once i have a bit more space i think i will probably get a higher resolution 16:9/16:10 display for working
It's about time i replaced my CRT, fingers crossed.
would love to join but… Philippines is not included. nice monitor though! would love to try a higher resolution with my rig. :D good one Philips!
time to replace my old monitor ;)
Jesus, amazing opportunity. Thanks hexus!
This is exactly not the monitor I'm looking for. Huge and only 1080 pixels high. I have no idea what's the use case for this.
This would be an excellent work horse. Possibilities are endless!

Entered! Not sure if I'd prefer 27“ 1440p or 29” ultrawide 1080p though.
Obviously I wouldn't turn down the ultrawide (*cough*), but 1440p is probably better ultimately. Even for 1920 widths, I prefer that little extra depth of a 1920x1200 display for Photoshop, music production and so on, so I'd like 1440p for the extra width and depth. On the other hand, I'd need a better graphics card than the one I have in order to indulge in gaming at 1440p.
Right now a lot of people complain that some of their games don't support the ultrawide resolution, even the big titles like Assassins Creed 4, so they have to deal with large areas of dead screen around a 1920x1080 play area.

It's really good if you use a lot of apps with second windows, or you'd like your browser alongside your work. When I'm doing music, it's nice to have the arrangement window open with the mixer window, but right now that only really works on ultra-high resolution screens or two-monitor set-ups. Using a second monitor isn't great for producers anyway, since fitting two display monitors in the space between your monitor speakers is a bit of a problem for sound. Also for digital art, I could have a duplicate Photoshop window at a close zoom alongside the zoomed out one, and work in detail while keeping an eye on the whole scene at the same time. I'd also like to avoid two screens for a lower energy bill.
This is an autentic bomb! Would be a great x-mas gift.
GL to all btw but i hope i get lucky this time :D
I've entered, but I think I'd need to do some upgrading of my PC to be able to power it!
I would like this one very much….good luck.
I am still on a 7 and a half year old 20" 1680X1050 Philips 200W6CS monitor ATM. It would be nice to win a new monitor!
Darn, just UK and Europe only :(
If only it were an inch bigger and 1600 pixels deep. When will we ever get monitors like that? :-(
;o)
Entered, thanks. :hexlub:
This would really help with writing up my thesis and writing C++ code. A bit of gaming wouldn't hurt either though
I'm not even sure my card will output at that resolution - might need an upgrade just to use it, but so much extra space for CAD

you mean like:
.. A 30“ Dell, a 30” HP, a 30" Lenovo ..
There is quite a few of these… they are just really expensive.
Or like
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CROSSOVER-30Q5-Pro-30-LG-IPS-Q5-2560-1600-WQHD-16-10-PC-Monitor-/261131991698, which I like, especially as they pivot, allowing two portrait sidekicks to a central landscape. Alas, I'm already stocked up with 24“ monitors and even these import prices are too high to justify upgrading.
Actually I was being ironic in my earlier post. 30” 2560x1600 has been around for ages but here we have innovation! Just as with 1920x1200, they've taken a fine width and height and chopped pixels off the vertical so that all those people who love scrolling can do even more of it. However, with these 29“ers they've taken off a generous 520 pixels instead of the paltry 80 that they took off the 24” monitors. Woohoo! Progress is a marvelous thing. ;o)

That monitor looks like a bit of a bargain :D
thanks entered … looks a really sweet moniter thanks for the chance Hexus :iloveyou:
whoever wins it I hope it goes to a good home :)
going to need new glasses methinks…
Thanks for giving me a chance to win!
This is going to be costly if I win, will definitely then have to upgrade my pc :)
Entered, thanks Hexus, law of averages says I must win something one day, lets hope its this one. Would absolutely love one of these.
I would say don't hold your breath too long, I've been entering Hexus competitions for as long as Hexus has been holding them and I've yet to win a thing. The site generates a *lot* of traffic.
omg pls santa hexus pls….
