Check the FreeSync ranges, and pick the one that has the best. Other than that, they're likely pretty similar aside from perhaps the Samsung which might use a different panel. I wouldn't worry about the stand on the Monoprice, it has VESA so a $30 stand from Amazon will give you a better experience anyway.

Which monitor?

Hi guys!

 

Im in the market for a new monitor. Here are the specs im looking for:

Freesync

3440x1440 (minimum)

ultrawide

Color accurate either sRGB or adobeRGB

Curved

Small bezel

Budget ~$500USD, although id ideally stay around 450

greater than 60htz

~35 inches

If i buy a monitor, itll probably be from a 3rd party where i can get it cheaper than the retail.

 

So far, ive found the Monoprice Zero-G monitor

https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=31005

Ive heard that the stand isnt that good, but i honestly dont really mind

 

Also found the Massdrop Vast, which more people may be familiar with.

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-vast-curved-gaming-monitor

As far as i can tell, this is a pretty decent monitor.

 

Finally, ive found the Samsung CF791

https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/curved/34--cf791-wqhd-monitor-lc34f791wqnxza/

This is the "best" one out of the lot. I found a deal locally for about 550. Not sure if its worth it though.

 

What would you recommend?
Thank you!

How would i compare freesync ranges? What would make one better than another?

Should be in the manual, or reviews. A wider range is better. For example some monitors only support FreeSync from 48hz to 75hz, whereas others could be from 30hz to 144hz.

the monoprice is 48-100 and the vast is 40-100 i believe.

 

Whats the difference between freesync 1.0 and 2.0?

IIRC FreeSync 2 has LFC. I wouldn't get a monitor without it, especially if you're running AMD graphics too.
