Question 1

How can I tell if my current laptop will support the highest resolution on this?

Accepted Answer

I would go and look up your model of laptop online and look for the specifications. It should tell you there. What you will need to look for though really is if you have a displayport / mini-displayport on your laptop. Hdmi or vga inputs will not get you the max 3440x1440 resolution you are looking for.

Question 2

Hello, does this LED have height adjustable feature there? How height can it be adjusted?

Accepted Answer

It is a poor stand design, I threw it away and bought a VIVO stand.
I think the original had adequate height about foot above desk, but was limited in bottom direction, couldn't go too far down.

Question 3

WHEN USING A HDMI CABLE IS THERE ANY LESSER VALUES THAN A DISPLAY PORT (RES FREQ SCALING)?

Accepted Answer

Display port is a newer standard than HDMI.  You will be able to push more data through display port.  I use this monitor for gaming and wanted the added speed that display port provided.  I did have to purchase a much better video card to support this larger screen resolution (for gaming only), but that is a different problem.

Question 4

Has anyone used this as display for a 15" MacBook Pro?

Accepted Answer

I used it on a surface pro 3 and it is great - using a mini display to hdmi cable. I don't see any reason it wouldn't be just as good on a Mac.

Question 5

No FreeSync support though right?

Accepted Answer

No freesync, the monitor isn't targeted towards gamers, it's an amazing monitor though, I love the 21:9 aspect ratio!

Question 6

I have two PC workstations (one for work and one for play) and dual monitors that I switch between using a KVM switch.  I want to replace my dual monitors with one of these. Can I connect both workstations to this monitor and easily switch between them (not shared/split screen, but full screen?) Will I need a KVM switch? Can I share a keyboard and mouse as well?

Accepted Answer

You can connect both to this monitor and do either split screen or just change the source to switch between them. Cant share keyboard/mouse.

Question 7

Simple question, how is this monitor for gaming? What type of Graphics card is recommend with this monitor? I am looking for a good 4k monitor. thanks

Accepted Answer

This isn't a true 4k monitor. For 1440p gaming a gtx970 would do fine for most games on high setting with roughly 40+ fps. Most games will support the ultra side configuration off the bat. Particularly new games. Id recommend a gtx980 or am equivalent and higher graphics card if you want to push pixels properly in games with this monitor. Remember to enable vsync on all your games, this monitor has a 60hz refresh rate so any higher fps on games or even movies will result in screen tearing. I LOVE this monitor for gaming the ultra wide display gives it a new experience and I can't seem to go back to my old 16:9 1080 or 4k displays.

Question 8

How far do you need to sit to use this monitor without too much eye strain? I am looking at buying a desk for it but don't know how much depth I will need. Most desks are 25 inches deep, will that be enough?

Accepted Answer

just barley, back of the stand base to front edge of my desk I have it right at 25" I sit 20" away from the screen, but with text scaling at small with the resolution at  3440*1440  its a wee tiny, my desk is 30" deep so it doesn't feel to cramped , hope this helps

Question 9

Is anyone playing Diablo 3 on this monitor? Would like to know if the game supports the 3440 x 1440 resolution. Thanks

Accepted Answer

Not Diablo 3 but several other games. I've noticed that almost all my games within the last 3 years support at least 2440x1080 and some support 3440x1440.  I okay BF4 and my overclocked 4G RAM Nividia 770 could really drive 3440x1440.  I switched to 2440x1080 and it runs well enough.  I'm going to upgrade my 770 a Titan or 9xx series to better support this extreme resolution.
