I think Will and the rest of massdrop team are doing a great job with this, but personally based on the last update, I would wait for the other brand to release their version of the 34 ultrawide monitor and go with that. My main reason is the timing, by the time this LG ships out, the other brand would be ready to release their monitor, so yeah, will still keep an eye out for this though.
zakari18Except that to the best of my knowledge, only LG are actually making a 3440x1440 panel right now. So the AOC and Dell (that seems to have disappeared) are both dependent on LG shipping on schedule. If LG has issues, it will knock on to them, delaying all product based around the 3440x1440 panel.
I see from the recently added AOC that it is estimated for August delivery but no pricing as yet. Seems to be a better base offering, but it does lose LUT and Thunderbolt (if that matters). It does gain extra USB3 ports, an adjustable stand and a better default warranty (vs 34UM95).
somnambulistAnother thing to add is that it's AOC Europe launching the monitor. No news from AOC USA, they're 2 separate division and 2 different company. Talks about AOC USA launching it is not even mentioned.
