Am I overthinking this?

I just can't feel like I am 100% sold on the Predator X34P.

 

I saw this comparison of other monitors with it and the specs are so close... https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/05f966e09

 

 

 

Am I overthinking this or should I just shut up and get it and be happy?

I think you are.  Multiple threads created about what display to buy, definitely shows you're hesitating.

 

But if you want the extra features of the X34P like Picture in Picture and Picture by Picture, may be worth it.

 

Either one will be fine, you just need to buy one, use it, and enjoy it.  I have the AOC version and it's fantastic.

 

Once you're using one of them, you won't think anymore.

You might indeed be, if you ask me the Predator is a really solid choice. Like the others said, buy one, be happy and enjoy it. Don't think back to what could have been, start thinking of what is. Either one of those displays is great and I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Make sure to Mark solved, makes it much easier for someone who finds the topic with the same problem to find the solution!

Ignore specs. beyond resolution , size, and refresh.

 

You need to find reviews, competent reviews, that use a full range of tests, including uniformity, color gamut, color accuracy, viewing angles, black level performance, BLB/IPS glow, input lag, pixel response, features (i.e BFI), overclocking, etc etc.

Between those three, I would get the X34P because it has an IPS panel. That said, what are you looking for in a monitor?

 

Disclaimer: Slight bias on my part since I have the X34 non-P.

Basically what all three have to offer. However, I am upgrading from a 720p 60hz, so all of them are going to be HUGE upgrades. I had my mind set on the X34P, so that's probably what I will end up with.

Basically, you two said the same things, and yeah, I think I am just going to quit thinking about it and get the X34P. No more thinking about it.

Almost everyone I saw that reviewed the X34P had minor nitpicking issues with it.

 

I am most likely going with it.

Hi AmpedUpDad, will you be using another monitor along side of  X34P? I'm going through the same process right now honestly and I can't really decide If I want 1 main ultrawide in addition to a 16:9 on the side or just 1 ultrawide period. 

I am going to use a 1080p on the side.

 

This will be used with not only my PC, but also my consoles through a capture card.
