Is the X34 worth it

TheRedViper

Hello guys, I was wondering what your experience with said monitor was and how would you compare it with standard 1440p 144hz like my current monitor the XB271hu. I have found one new at 14% off so I'm kinda interested.

I think mostly what's nice about the X34 is it being curved, if you're already satisfied with your XB271HU I don't see a reason to justify getting an X34

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

Perhaps, you should get other opinions as I didn't find it especially exciting xD

i'm not a fan of ultrawide either...i played on one and for first person shooter at least in my experience the aim is fucked up...not all games support 21:9...many will stretch out...or partially stretch out to fill the screen...so with many games you'll end up playing at 16:9 anyways with black bars on the sides...it's not a perfect technology, and honestly, it's great for racing sims...but other than that it's a hit or miss kinda thing...and for 1st person online shooter it's trash...woobly buttery wierd aim acceleration is how i would desrcibe it.
