GLWS, took me a while to sell mine. I feel this monitor should be promoted to the office type users. chat to [MENTION=28839]souljazk[/MENTION] maybe he wants another one

Thanks man, perhaps a price drop to R1600 will help

I have seen this type of monitor at Cash Converters in CT also going to R2k.
Wondering if this monitor is worth it... What are the Pro's vs Con's?

I haven't actually used it much(only recently got it in a bundle) but the biggest con I can think of is playing a game that doesn't support a custom resolution would probably suck as it's 2560x1080.
On the plus side, it's wider than normal so for things like coding you get to see more text. And I guess games that support it's resolution would be pretty cool

Con: For most people the height would be an issue, the actual screen height is about 25cm.

Pro: Larger viewing area with the 2560x1080 means that you can now see the enemy sneak up behind you and still do nothing about it (this might even be a con)

Used it in dota since they only recently released support for that resolution and it is pretty good. I did experience some crashes but not sure if it was due to the newely supported reso or just game instability as there was an actual patch change with the new reso release.

I must say I have one of these screens. They are amazing to use , I do a bit of coding, lots of gaming and movies. The 21:9 works amazing in BF4,NFS and division as I can use a 120FOV without frying my brain.
The extra space on the desktop is always welcome and being able to run 3 windows simultaneously is a gift.
One day when I grow up Ill buy myself two more for surround.
