What monitor Specs would you purchase in todays time

ThrashZone · Feb 26, 2024

Hi,
Guess if brand doesn't matter either does Hz so 144 hehe
2" sure isn't worth that much more $ but then again brand might.

Brand

LG
Acer
LG

2" is also Ultra wide vs wide

mechtech · Feb 26, 2024

If the 2560x1440 was 24” I might consider it.

ThrashZone · Feb 26, 2024

Hi,
Acer does have some decent panels but so does LG so I'd still do LG 144.

I forgot the first LG is flat and the other 2 Curved

ThrashZone · Feb 26, 2024

Hi,
That don't change my vote I'm not into curved
Sitting view is to finicky for me personally.

That's not ultrawide. Would be 3440x1440 for 21:9

outpt · Feb 26, 2024

bought lg 32" 165hz and happy. i'm sure which ever one you buy will be just fine for you.

Lew Zealand · Feb 26, 2024

I'd get the 34" 3440x1440 100Hz.

I don't play much high framerate fps and started playing modern games on a 34" 3440x1440 60 Hz. I now have a 32" 2560x1440 144 Hz. I play most games at 100 Hz or below and even Rocket League at 100 Hz is fine as 60-100 Hz is a huge difference and I'll play at that from the 100Hz limited HDMI connections from my other PCs from time to time. 100-144 Hz is a much smaller difference to me while I'd like to have the Ultrawide aspect ratio back as IMO it offers more.

I was stating the difference the 34” which is 2” bigger is ultra wide vs the other 2

joemama · Feb 26, 2024

I have a 32" 2560*1440 but I think 34" 3440*1440 matches the field of view of our eyes better

If the first one is IPS then that's a pretty clear winner, I'm guessing the latter 2 curved screens are probably VA that's why they must be curved

If the first one is flat VA then that's a huge nope

Can you just list all 3 models so that there's no confusion?

Should have posted in OP but to cut down guessing these are it

Oops VA on #1 so guess if you have 200.us #3 it is.

Beginner Macro Device · Feb 26, 2024

At 30+ inches, I'd much rather hunt 2160p. I know, I know, it's not that affordable, yet it's totally worth it. Not like you're gonna replace your monitor sooner than in a decade if you love it.

Across the options you provided, the UW one it is. Gaming is so much better on UW monitors it even doesn't feel wrong to have two times worse response times and refresh rates.

4K just isn’t viable

Why? I use a 4K display as my daily driver and I never did regret this decision. Fonts are smooth, image quality in games is excellent.

Cost.

Look at the prices on his list and try to find a 32" 4K monitor with 100+Hz for the same.

Why are people never reading my messages...

Anyhow, the more pixels the merrier so amongst these three options the most viable, as per my opinion, is an UW display.

bubbleawsome · Feb 26, 2024

Without knowing the exact use case of the monitor it's a little harder to say, but I'd go with the UW if it's shooters or racing games or the cheaper flat 16:9 for anything else. The cost for 165hz isn't worth it. I'm running a 27" 170hz IPS 2560x1440 and a 34" 100hz VA 3440x1440. I notice the refresh rate way less than I notice the brightness (~250nit vs 400nit) and color accuracy the IPS screen has. Honestly, being spoiled to the IPS now I'm looking for a replacement for my VA ultrawide even though I love the screen real estate it gives me.

A note: the UW has a higher pixels per inch than the 16:9 monitors. A 34" UW is about equal to a 27" 16:9. Could make the UW worth it in your eyes then.

This one, if you're on a budget.

But I would rather save a bit more & go for a UltraWide 144+Hz display.

Totally enhances the experience in games that support UltraWide.
