Very nice… but will you play at that resolution? I have a similar monitor 34" but I get 2560 x 1080 native…
If you plan on using it for general purpose might be nice but games you would probably not use that resolution… even if you do get good FPS it’s not the BEST FPS, defeats the purpose of gaming right?
Games I would use as long as they support that resolution. I’m not concerned about getting good FPS with it at this time.
Have you looked at the AOC ultrawides? I only had their 1080p monitor but it was relative great and I actually miss it sometimes after selling it and getting an LG 144hz monitor. Though FPS games had some minor ghosting but I don’t play enough to care.
The only experience I had with an ultra is the alienware 120hz one awhile back. Boy do I miss that monitor. Too bad my current desk space is way too small. for it and I have yet to find a monitor arm that doesn’t cause it to shake too much when I’m typing.
I also looked at this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZB2TNZZ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Reviews on it seemed to indicate there was worse smearing and felt more like a 120hz display, and it had bad 60hz performance.
I am presently using an AOC AGON AG241QG4 which is a 24" 1440p 144hz TN. I like it, but I’m afraid all of these VA panels will disappoint me in terms of response.
Might as well spend more for those ultrawide from Alienware or LG.
Though I think the downside for me was reading. Had to zoom in every time I needed to read and zoom back out when I watch videos
Along these lines, one of the reasons I’ve stuck to separate monitors on my daily driver is because ultrawides are kinda awkward for non-gaming usage. Separate monitors also allows prioritization, like I really don’t care too much about the quality of the secondary display so long as its colors are somewhat decent and its viewing angles aren’t garbage, so it can be a craigslist cheapo while my main monitor is the one I buy new, with more of the cost going into color accuracy, contrast, brightness, etc instead of more pixels.
For a tower dedicated exclusively to gaming I could see ultrawides making a lot more sense though.
I don’t like VA panels in general. Only a few high end monitors and high end TV’s are good gaming experiences. Ultrawide monitors tend to cost more and if budget is that big of an issue I’d probably get a nicer 16:9 panel over a cheap ultrawide. I also like to buy better brands in case it needs to get RMA’d at some point.
I’ve been on a PG348q (100hz ips 3440x1440) for going on 5 years now and I don’t think I’d buy a non-ips monitor unless it’s one with all the bells and whistles like FALD and good HDR.
Not sure what you are doing but it could be a driver issue. For one a ultrawide enhances reading… we read left to right so it’s shorter and wider making reading THAT much easier… My monitor is 2560 x 1080 native, it’s perfect size. Not to mention there are utilities that come with monitor or windows even that you can split the monitor in half so you can have 2 separate monitors in the same monitor since it’s so wide.
Ultrawide is WHAT the focus is not games, you have that backwards… Exactly what I described the wide screens make reading and utilized simple desktop apps much easier to use… more real estate on the screen. I was skeptical at first myself but ever since I used a ultra wide I am not sure how I can go back to a ‘normal’ screen
One reason I don’t like using my laptop anymore because it lacks ultra wide screen…
Quality is very good, depends on Vendor… don’t go with some off brand cheap knock off stick with winners LG, Sony, and Samsung. those are the brands I ONLY use goes for TV as well…
My TV (I have 5) ALL Sony for HDTV, Samsung for accessories and in home smart things and LG for Computer and Appliances… that’s how I roll…
There are very few exceptions… if I have to buy new those 3 brands are ALL I use.
I have Apple phone, tablet, HP Laptop, Custom PC (this is the only non-name brand device I have) but I use all name brand high end components for SDD, Memory, Motherboard etc…
For me, multiple displays make arranging and organizing multiple windows and applications easier.
For non gaming, I can split each one into two windows which helps me a lot, and since they’re separate, it allows me to easily move back and forth to intuitively get the information I need.
Example Cerner and database on left display split (with outlook minimized), word processor and current pdf split on my right display (with teams minimized).
Sure you can do that on one big display, but the compartmentalization of the multiple displays is just easier.
varies on things, not everything was horrible for reading. It was great when I was skimming through code and logs. Just enough of the things I do apparently didn’t play nice with ultra wide leaving font to be tiny until I resize the window to a certain size.
I mean I had this issue with 4k as well granted it was a 27inch monitor w/ 150% scaling
