This drop is a joke. The same panel but 120hz OC model just released by Acer just came out, same price, https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824011196 and Micro Center has it on sale for $549.99, VA 3440x1440 120hz curved. and I just trust Acer more to boot. lol y'all just got taken by Massdrop, they never have cheapest value anymore.
yodamangoThe Acers description is incorrect, it is 100hz as what it says in the specs for it. On top of that it is at a 4ms response time. But if you like the peace of mind that you get from buying from Acer, go for it.
yodamangoHow do you like the Acer?
I'm waiting on my 3rd replacement that's arriving tomorrow. If this last one also has horrible backlight bleed/dead pixel, I would consider getting the Acer.
Massive170 issues with mine. massdrop makes it hell to return something thats another reason i am no longer doing big items with them. did they make you pay return shipping at all? hopefully they aren't that bad at least... but yeah
yodamangoNo, they've been really great actually.
Even though I've been a little disappointed in the quality of the product, their support has been exceptional with replying right away and providing pre-paid labels for each replacement. They even let me keep the current monitor while the replacement arrives which has been great since I sold my old monitors.
Massive17never used to be that way, they used to make you pay return shipping. and about 90% of the time will deny you a refund and make you keep getting replacements. i don't like that. i like having that 30 day return for refund window on large item purchases. so yeah no massdrop for me on bit items like a monitor
yodamangoI believe their support goes above and beyond when their name is on the product. They also probably have a lot more say in that matter when it comes to Massdrop products.
yodamangothanks for the info. If this truly is the same panel I think I'll be cancelling my massdrop. The 4 month shipping wait is kinda hard to justify if I can just drive over to microcenter this weekend.
yodamangoMy man, i got lucky with my massdrop vast i guess - using it since february 2018 oc'd it to 119hz and its working perfectly fine, moved on from it though using it as 2nd monitor now. Playing on 240hz now x).
Some are lucky some are not :/
