So stylish tho
I feel the same way. I hope 21:9 remains available for those that wish to use it.
That is my exact same monitor, and i'm currently playing castlevania lords of shadows 2 on it.
So good.
Might be of interest to AMD users: LG Preparing Ultra Wide AMD FreeSync IPS Panels For Early 2015
Good news! I heard Samsung are also in the same boat with their 2015 panels.
BTW: CES Starts on 6 January, new panel info will be out by then.
You'll want to care about GSync with nVidia. Free sync is AMD. People swear by it, but I've never seen it in person yet
This is me hoping one of these monitors comes out with glorious adaptive sync sometime this year.
What if I were to tell you... The LG UM67 has Freesync?

On another note, the mobile version of this forum sucks balls.

Too bad I'll never go AMD. Still hoping for G-Sync or that Nvidia decides to adapt Freesync.
Got a curved LG 34UC97 a month ago. For $1300 AUD I'm very happy with it.
Using Dolphin and PPSSPP on this thing is amazing.
Configuring games to work at 21:9 is annoying though, but the monitor is perfect productivity wise. I'm snapping a lot more apps in Windows 8 now because of the screen real estate.

Please tell me your ways of configuring the games. Sources

Read everything mentioned in the OP
Flawless Widescreen is a must have program for 21:9 users. You can get that here: https://www.flawlesswidescreen.org/
Some games include Console Commands which usually allow users to use custom resolutions beyond what's available in the games Graphics settings.
You can access the console in-game usually by pressing "~" on the keyboard.
Just find out what engine (Unreal, CryEngine, Source Engine etc.) your game is running on and search what console commands are available for that engine.
I don't know what else to mention as I'm new to the glorious world of 21:9 monitors. I just use Google/Bing to find these fixes
I thought it's open for all cards?
FreeSync is now DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync.

NVIDIA won't be supporting DPAS, which sucks
They'll be greeding over G-Sync royalties.Objectively Bad Opinion

Adaptive sync is. Freesync is AMD's use of the standard for variable sync gaming.
Adaptive sync = the GSync module
Freesync = the part of GSync that lives in Nvidia's driver and talks to the GSync module
It's Nvidia's choice whether they want to support variable sync gaming on non-GSync monitors. Being "open to all cards" doesn't mean much in the end, sadly.
Isn't the point of freesync that it's a Vesa standard and every card should work?
That's the idea, but I believe nvidia still needs to do something to their drivers to support it.
I would imagine there will be someone who will make it possible through a hack.
Damn this thread to hell.
I was really holding out till VR consumer level stuff was released before upgrading my 4 year old machine. But now I'm interested in the LG 34UM95. Do you need at least a GTX 980 to run current games with decent detail at this monitors resolution? That's expensive!
Those that have it, can you comment on what card you're running, games you play and what fps you're getting?

That new Samsung stand has both height and tilt adjustment, how bad can it be? Plus, since it has VESA mount (which looks like it probably won't require buying a separate kit either, unlike LG models apparently...) you can put it on an arm. For displays in this price class the cost of an arm isn't a big deal, and you should eventually buy one anyway if you're a stickler for display ergonomics. I already have an Ergotron MX standing by.

So I went for one of these
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OO9YWR0/
I figure that if I set the res to 3440x1440 it should give me the best of both world as it will still be a huge 21:9 screen and still able to do natural 16:9 as well
Opinions or am I really wrong?

So quite a few 21:9 monitors are being announced at CES
Two from HP 34" 3440x1440
Two FreeSync LG monitors 29" and 34" both at 2560x1080
One LG 34" 3440x1440 curved
One Samsung 34" 3440x1440 curved
One Philips 34" 3440x1440 curved
New: One Dell 34" 3440x1440 Curved.
That's it for now. I'll edit the post if more get announced.
The more monitors that get announced the better!

There have been a couple of 21:9 tvs at CES as well but they are likely to be super expensive since they are SUHD resolution (5k).

All of them are IPS minus the Samsung Model which is VA.
No Gsync yet. But the two 2560x1080 LG monitors are FreeSync.

Has anyone gotten/seen the Asus 29" monitor?
Was looking into buying it, but there honestly isn't many reviews on it.

That is one of the monitors I am also looking at, according to this review it is good for gaming.
It also compares some of the other monitors mentioned in this thread, giving the nods to the LG 29EA73-P as the best gaming monitor.
I am a sucker for looks so I may end up with the ASUS MX299Q, I will be using it for programming, Photoshop and gaming.
I will be upgrading from a old dell 2007wfp 1680:1050 monitor, so I think most of the 29 21:9 monitors will blow my socks off
Just got the Dell U3415W, previously had the LG 34 inch 21:9 (non-curved). Didn't like the LG because it didn't have a PIP option, and a screen this wide and close needs to be curved for better viewing. First impressions is that the Dell is much better than the LG, here's a couple pics, including an example of PIP:
Will post more screens as I get more games up and running...

The 34UM95? I thought I had seen an image of that thing with split screen or something. That Dell looks neat, though.
I just received the LG 34UM95-P myself. I can't really use it to the best of it's capability before my new PC arrives since my GTX 590 doesn't have DP output, but that didn't stop me from seeing what's up with it. I can only get 30hz out of my HDMI-DVI cable setup, but it's enough to see what's up with the resolution, and more importantly check for any issues. Turns out my set has some pretty bad light bleeding, from the bottom in particular. I'll probably be sending this one out tomorrow. Hopefully whatever I might get in return isn't as bad.
I will say this; Ultra-Wide QHD feels damn weird after such a long time of primarily using traditional 1080p displays. In such a good way.

I said. god. damn.
One day I'll get one, one day.
$1,230.23 including tax and free shipping from Dell website. I talked to someone on the phone who gave me some discounts, the monitor itself was $1,124.99

What is the curved monitor to get at this point? I'm an Nvidia user so freesync is irrelevant at the moment. They all seem to hover in the 1200 dollar range right?

I should be satisfied with a Rog Swift, but those photos are making me drool. Of course I'll order one and a gsync model will be announced days later. They just seem so neat!
My Eizo has none of it that's noticeable.

Acording to their data sheet the HP Z34c is using a VA panel as well.

But...
Why HP, why did you have to put those horrible speakers either side the screen
