Do we have confirmation of a panel type yet?
Lots of people in here are saying IPS, but AUO's 35" panels are typically VA.
If it is IPS, I have impeccable timing by buying a PG348Q a couple of months ago.
If it's a VA panel, I have near-zero interest in it.
My HDTV is a 5000:1 VA panel with, I think, 96-zone local dimming (state of the art 7 years ago) and I don't miss it at all when using the PG348Q.
Even the latest high refresh rate VA panels still have response times an order of magnitude worse than IPS near black, and awful viewing angles.
Black crush is a problem that has never been solved.
Sure, it would be nice if it was OLED/µLED, but I think we're years away from anything like that.
For anyone saying that they "don't like the curve" - you clearly haven't used an ultrawide monitor this size before.
It needs the curve. You can't sit nearly as close to a flat screen as a curved one.
That's why most/all of the 34/35" panels are curved, and you only see flat models at 25".
Frankly, after having the PG348Q for a few months it makes me wish that they still made curved OLED TVs because I sit up close to my TV as well.
