I’m completely confused and torn between what to do in terms of upgrading my display at this point because there’s so many conflicting opinions on the options out there. I’m looking for an ultrawide, 100hz+, gsync, with good contrast but I just want it to work. I want VA cos of the darks but I hear how there is ghosting, overshooting, flickering and how VA is worse than a flaming pile of trash according to some. IPS also sounds like a cool option since I have a quantum dot IPS 4K tv and looks stunning for colour but is pretty poor at dark scene, however I hear about IPS glow all over the shop.

I think my options at the moment are between the Z35P, X34P, AG352UCG6 and whatever the Alienware one is. I’ve read and watched all the reviews and find some saying that all of the above are stunning, yet have also heard from others how these are the worst screens they’ve experienced. I’m also hearing some people saying ultrawide is in such a state at the moment that it’s only worth buying 16:9 atm. I would rather not even bother buying a high end monitor now if I’m only going to be buying another expensive monitor when 21:9 are less problematic.

I’m currently using a bog standard 16:9 1080p TN 60hz, but don’t see the point buying something over 7 times the price and be disappointed by smearing, ghosting, glow, flickering or something like this.

Is there anyone out there that has had a good experience across the board with an ultrawide 1440p high refresh monitor? I’m mostly leaning toward the Z35P but would appreciate any input to why that might be a good or bad option.
