All monitors are different, using someone elses profile is just stupid cause it can be totally wrong for your monitor. Do a calibration, go away from the computer for a few minutes and come back is my tip. I just did the same on my 29" ultrawide ips monitor, looked so wrong when I was done so I went away for a while, came back and everything was fine.

I've never heard of them before and there is almost no info about them anywhere. It's a korean brand and according to their website, a company made by "hardcore gamers for hardcore gamers". Their monitors seems pretty cheap compared to other brands. The only place I found something about them was Reddit and there it says it's about a "hit and miss" if you get a good product, so just try it out and if it's bad, just send it back.

All games today support 21:9, even games at least 10 years back do. I tried Halflife 2 just for the fun of it and it works, but that's probably updated cause CS:GO uses the same engine. It's become so normal today that gamers buy ultrawide so I don't see why you should have a problem with it. I have only heard rumors that Blizzard is blocking the resolution in their RPG's cause it give you advantages over people who doesn't have it, since you get bigger FoV. Why you even would think of running a 21:9 monitor at 16:9 I can't really understand, unless you are playing some really really really old games. Most ultrawide monitors have the option in the menu to run in different modes, so if you really want to run in 16:9 it's not a problem, you will get more black on the sides. No tearing, no IPS bleed, everything is just perfect...or I'm just lucky. A GTX1070 should have no problem at all with 2560x1080, if you get lag with that card you have done something wrong. I'm running it with a really old i5 2500K and a GTX970. 29" Ultrawide has about the same height as a 24" 16:9 34-36" Ultrawide compares to a 27-28" 16:9.

What cpu and gpu do you have now? 1440p is quite a demanding resolution, so if you have an older computer you might get some fps-problems. I would say a GTX1060 and Core i3/i5 or Ryzen 5 is minimum for a screen like that.

My first post here, but anyways. No you don't need to enable freesync to get that extra hertz, just put your screen to 75Hz (like I have) in your resolution settings in Windows and you are fine. Freesync doesn't work with Nvidia (yet) so it really doesn't matter if you enable it or not, or am I wrong? Anyways, back to the OP. For that money Freesync is the only thing, you have to add a couple hundred more to get to the "good stuff". There isn't much to go on with those specs, check for VA-panels maybe? If you want IPS and 144Hz I'm pretty sure you need to go up to around 700-900 euros to get the g-sync monitors. But if you can handle to get only 75Hz, then I would go for example the Ultrawide monitors at 2560x1080. I bought an LG 29" Ultrawide 2560x1080 with IPS-panel, 75Hz and 5ms just a month ago. I love it, I'm never going back to 16:9! Here are LGs ultrawide monitors, I guess other brands have the same line: http://www.lg.com/us/ultrawide-monitors
