Need a monitor, please help me find something!

[Maltzurrez]

Hello, I have recently built my first ever gaming rig, and am about to buy myself a monitor (currently using my TV ), and could need some help!

I live in Norway, but don't worry, I'll find the suggested monitors and decide based on prices here.

I would really like a 21:9 monitor, as i think three monitors for surrond is a bit overkill, (at least to my liking) but still, I would like a wide viewing angle.

No need for 4k as I am on a bit of a budget, but no less than 1920x1080.

I am running a gtx660 (http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N660_Gaming_2GD5OC.html#overview) which can output DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI and DP.

 

 

Thank you for helping!

 

EDIT: I am planning to add a second gtx660 to my rig in the somewhat near future, and can live with lower settings in my games until then, as I just recently built this computer and am still quite used to the lower settings!

What's your budget?

 

Also, you're not going to get very good FPS with a 21:9 monitor (normally 2560x1080) and a 660.

On teh completely outrageous but mega great side, a 24 inch HP Dream Color.   *This is a joke. I mean it ia an awesome monitor, but you would need a quadro to make the best use of it and it cost more than several 4k monitors do*

 

Seriously, I would look at IPS monitors, from Dell, Asus, or maybe Acer. Just find one that fits your budget and buy it. 1080p should be fine for 99.999% of things, and 21:9 is not going to be all that useful considering the drop in FPS you will get going from 1080p to it.

An AOC Q2963PM, i own one and i love it! You will only loose like 5-10 FPS in games vs a 1080p.

Best 4k monitor http://www.samsung.com/levant/consumer/computers-peripherals/monitors/led-monitor/LU28D590DS/ZN-features

but I don't think you could run 4k with a 660 very well

It's on about 250-300$, but I would have to either import the monitor, or buy it here in Norway, and with taxes and such the price will be higher than you'd might get in, say, America.

Yeah, this is waaaay too expensive.

Best suggestion so far. It's a bit expensive, but I could ask for some monehs.
