Hi so I've been exploring the " top ultrawide monitors 2019" and on my own i found the LG 34GK950F-B on my own which i think has pretty impressive spec for an ips ultrawide panel 

but I've noticed that most of the list that I saw didn't include this monitor and instead had the alienware monitor at the top of their lists, Is there some sort of problem with the lg monitor

or is the alienware monitor actually better? I mean looking at the specs of both the LG 34GK950F-B provides a faster response time (Lg 1ms   Alienware 4ms), Higher refresh rate (Lg 144Hz Alienware 120Hz). 

 

Am i missing something? Which is better in your opinion?

AFAIK that LG monitor is pretty new, so that could be the reason.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

I would only get the UltraGear.

It is relatively new and the price has just come down. When I was looking at it the sale price was $1200.

 

The Dell is old tech and overclocked. 

 

I was going to get the Ultragear to replace my old Samsung 3440 X 1440 60hz monitor but in the end I went for a LG 3840 X 1600 ultra wide instead. 

I will go Ultragear when the 3840 X 1600 version comes out.
