So no curved 21:9 3D Vision Capable Monitors?
I'm currently looking at Alienware's AW3418DW and aside from the ridiculous $1250 pricetag ("on sale", including taxes and shipping) I don't want to give up 3D Vision (I just fired up Quantum Break last night for the community 3D Vision fix on my ROG Swift PG278Q and holy crap, 2D looks like garbage in comparison) nor risk getting a unit with poor white reproduction and bad IPS glow, not to mention the loss of response time (from 4ms to 13 or so) not to mention the possibility that the monitor might not actually do 120 Hz, only that it's guaranteed to do 100 Hz (many users have complained about this monitor not being able to hit 120 Hz). So then, somehow, I came across Asus' PG27VQ, which is basically a curved PG278QR, which is basically a 165 Hz (vs "only" 144 Hz) PG278Q, which is what I currently own: https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG27VQ/ And I have to ask, why isn't there a 21:9 Ultra Wide version of this monitor? I mean, sure, the curvature may be nice at 16:9 but that curvature is really appreciated with an Ultra Wide display. Any rumors that a 21:9 G-Sync and 3D Vision monitor is being made by someone? Right now the alternative is to try to have a multi-monitor set-up with AW3418DW and then have to switch between the two in Nvidia Control Panel and with them both on Amazon Basics Adjustable Arms I would just swivel the one that I want to use directly in front of me, but this is a $1500 (including the arms, $100 each) proposition, and I don't know that I exactly want a multi-monitor set-up (that's a lot of screen). I can't actually afford this, but there currently isn't a curved 3D Vision 21:9 monitor on the market.

For me curved is not important. But will be great new 3D ultra-wide or 3D 4K monitors.

[quote="djkano"]For me curved is not important. But will be great new 3D ultra-wide or 3D 4K monitors.[/quote] Good luck trying to push 4K 3D Vision. We can't even reliably push 4K 2D at the moment with 1080 Ti really (title dependent) at ~60 FPS. Maybe two Volta / Turing Titan cards in SLI will allow one to do 4K 3D Vision but then, there's the issue of SLI also dying with maybe 60% of new titles actually supporting it and many 3D Vision fixes are incompatible with SLI, i.e. SLI breaking reflections with the 3D Fix in The Witcher 3. So actually, 3440x1440 is really the sweet spot. I don't understand this obsession with 4K, I'm on 2560x1440 and it's nearly perfect (I actually want 3440x1440 curved).

Even my 1080Ti card not enogh for the 4k 3DVision. This monitor has no DVI input. 3D works on HDMI and display port?

[quote="levyzoltan"]This monitor has no DVI input. 3D works on HDMI and display port?[/quote] Yes. 3D Vision also works via a VGA connection at lower resolutions on certain displays. You might need to use an EDID override, this guy used one from Dell https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/998769/3d-vision/3d-vision-on-acer-xb271hu-yes-/post/5885508/#5885508 YMMV, so try others as well

Yeah honestly I regretted moving up to even 1440p before I went SLI and even that's unreliable. I feel at this point 1440p on a single screen is the sweet spot for 3dvision gaming if you care about high settings and performance. 4k is not that much of a visual improvement for me to justify it and sacrifice this.

There's a curved monitor from Asus, but it's not 21:9 or 4k.

I've just bought this new model: https://www.asus.com/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG349Q/ as a second 2d monitor (in addition to my VG278H 3D). Do you think it is possible to run 3D content using a 3Dvision emitter?
