Does anyone have this monitor??? I hear it's one of the highest rated out there for gaming... but...... I see these reviews on amazon that say some of them are shifty and have light bleeding from the corners of the screen??!?!?. I'm not gonna deal with that BS if I'm going to drop 1300 on a display.
So.... anyone have an experience with this monitor? Would love some feedback

Sincerely

I am in the UK. I have one I bought a month ago through Amazon. X34 Predator G-sync LCD 34" curved Monitor Version x34bmiphz- (Case says made in China - Nov 2015). Through Amazon- here at least- we can return an item within 30 days if we change our mind.

I am running at 95hz and have no apparent issues at all. The 100hz is a maximum - not guaranteed. I had flickering at 100 but steady at 95 so that's where I sit. Great experience running Witcher 3. I may well have light bleeding but to be honest I can't see anything odd at all, haven't a clue what it is and have never been aware of it in 20 years of gaming.

I have a i5 4670 with standard fan, and a Gigabyte GeForce GTX980Ti Windforce 6GB OC Edition.

Good luck. I am perfectly...

Good luck. I am perfectly satisfied with my Predator although I did remove those protruding legs and put it on a vertical stand.

I'm an owner of the x34, and I freaking love it. That being said, I did have an issue with a dead pixel on arrival Like Bufty2 mentioned, Amazon has a kickass return policy. I'm currently on my second one, and I love it. Love the screen real estate, love the color reproduction, love the game performance. I can only speak for myself, but 100Hz is just fine for gaming. Gorgeous, but expensive. For the price, it had better be all i ever dreamed and more.

For what it's worth, I've just finished downloading Rise of the Tomb Raider- hit play- haven't touched any option keys, and it looks gorgeous in 21:9 3440 x 1440 @ 95hz! Pre-rendered cut scenes are in 16:9 but- hey, the rest is superb. Here's to many happy hours with Lara on this new adventure.
