Best bang for the buck monitor (4K vs 144hz ultrawide)

[Slazyel]

Hi guys, i can buy one of the below monitors and would like to know which one is the best bang for the buck.

 

Prices here where i live are a bit higher than normal, so i have it converted to dollars for you guys to compare with the prices on your country.

 

To help: I have a Strix Vega 56 and mostly play WOW, but i play Overwatch, Pubg and single player games too.

 

So, looking at the prices, which one do you recommend? I wouldn't like to overpay more than i should because of the country i live.

 

LG 27UD59 - 27", 4K, IPS, 60hz, Freesync - $385

LG 32UD59 - 31.5", 4K, VA, 60hz, Freesync - $510

LG 34UC79G - 34" Ultrawide, 2560x1080p, IPS, 144hz, Freesync - $600

The ultrawide.

Based on those 3 choices personally I'd probably go for the 32in 4K one.

 

BUT having said that I would definitely recommend looking into a 3440x1440 34"+ ultrawide - I've got the Acer x34 myself and I love it

 

if there isn't a higher resolution ultrawide in your price range (seems like LG might have some options) then since it's mainly gaming it'd be worth considering the ultrawide - personally I prefer a bit denser PPI on my monitors tho.

If youre doing games like that I would take the 144Hz

For your card the Ultrawide would be better but I think you would enjoy a 3440X1440 100hz monitor more.

 

Vega 56 = GTX 1080. My GTX 1080 was a poor 4k card. 60fps was not reachable with high quality settings. The games look better at 1440 ultra. I can only recommend a GTX 1080 ti or better for 4k gaming.

Sadly, and i don't know why, prices of almost the same monitor here, but 1440p, are at least the double

You'll probably be pretty happy with the Ultrawide that you listed, esp. since it's got the higher refresh rate and freesync which will be nice for gaming since your card can take advantage of them
