21:9 monitors. Grab 29" or just go all out and grab 34" (for gaming)

LaboonTheWhale

So yeah... what the title says. 

 

Freesync LG 29" is $300 w/o tax while 34" monitors nearly goes for double that price. I hear people say 34" feels much better, but 2x the price better?

personally would go for 29". If you even want to add more monitors in the future, 34" just seems way too big.

 

27" seems like the sweet spot to me.

I have 27" and it really hits the spot. I don't think I'd like to go bigger.

I think not. Depends on if you care about ppi. I rather have high density pixels that a huge pixelated screen. 34" is just too much for 2560x1080. I use a 25" ultra wide and just sit fairly close, still have my field of view covered and my display is a lot sharper than anyone's 34". Oh and you can get a 25" for less than $200

I'm rocking a triple 27" setup right now. It's fucking enormous, and I fucking love it.

Wow, those cunts...  i remmeber it being 550$ here and there when it released

 

This is the cheapest i could find now: 610$ (and they dont even let you know the price right away)

Its still 450eur in EU, which is in line with 550$ max.

 

 

and here`s the cheapest 29 inch version i could find for 300$:
