I think that's my next monitor. I was waiting for an ultrawide 34" 1440 G-Sync, but at $1400 they can keep it. My Dell U2711 has been a workhorse, but has obtrusive anti-glare.
Is that with everything set to ultra but with AA off?
Thankfully Dell has toned down on the antiglare coarseness. It's unnoticeable on mine as I expect it is on the 34".

it would be easier and less warranty voiding to just mount a small fan blowing at it if you are worried about the thermal throttling - which wont show itself in most cases

Yeah it's so bad on this one when I'm working on photography that I can't tell if I'm looking at noise/grain or screen sparkle.
The only other thing that I haven't liked about Dell is that they seemed to have ditched their QA dept. Both of the Dell products I've bought were defective and had to be returned. Both times I bought directly from Dell and they handled the returns well.
I bought my last 3 monitors from Dell direct, and they have been all find, there is a little IPS glow on a all black screen in the corners but it doesn't bother me at all and to me there's no glare on the 34". Oh by the way the stand is really good move it anyway you want.
I had some IPS glow in the bottom right corner for the first few months but it's completely cleared up now.

I highly suggest getting this board if you don't have a x4 m.2 slot. Worked great for me.

thought some might find this interesting -
below are two shots showing the difference in the gap behind the xp941 mounted in an Asus Hyper M.2 board and the Addonics ADM2PX4 M.2 > PCIe boards
the Addonics doesn't leave much of a gap behind the xp941, maybe 3/32" while the Asus card allows approx 1/4" - to put it into perspective, on the addonics board i doubt i could get the tip of a ballpoint pen refill down behind the board, much less the cone of that fat bodied ball point pen
I suspect Asus did that intentional, ie using tall mounting socket and tall standoff nut body, to allow for free air flow behind the ssd mounted in the unit.
fwiw
i'm going with the 950 PRO - just waiting for Black Friday sales unless a number of folks post negative experiences with it
THanks for the suggestion - only problem with that, for me, is that will void the warranty - i'd thought of it as well. Suggestion if you do go that route, go with a copper heatsink - copper has a higher thermal co-efficient (ie, transfers heat faster / better), plus putting a coating on aluminum, like those are, only serves to seal the surface which hinders transfer of heat to the atmosphere.
fwiw
so its in and running,
in the m.2 slot Asus Z170 Delux
Win 10 installed directly just fine, installed the Samsung driver after i got into windows
this is pretty much the first thing i did after installing graphics drivers
