Posted June 15, 2019 Hey, So I'm currently monitor shopping for a brand new Ultrawide monitor to replace My 3x 27"-Monitor setup. I kinda like the idea of an Ultrawide and I was just wondering if this monitor (<- click here) was a good choice for its price and specs and for doing things like Gaming/Watching-Films/3D-Modelling/Video&Picture-Editing/etc... What I'm mainly looking for, is a monitor that has most of the following specs: Spoiler An IPS or VA Panel for some very good colours/brightness/etc. A 3440x1440 Resolution but they seem to be £600+ GBP which is out of My budget, slightly. HDR10 primarily because I hear it's really good for the picture/quality/colours/brightness when Gaming/Editing/Film-watching/doing-whatever.. The Hz and Response Time (ms) I'm not too bothered about, so long as it's not 5ms+ and that it has 60Hz+ Sooo.., is this LG Monitor a good monitor? Thanks!

If you're fine with 60hz there's some lower price options https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#r=344001440&D=60000,240000&sort=price&A=2 I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

The only reason I say this is because the type of things I'd be doing, I would want the best possible picture quality . I just heard that HDR10 is pretty damn good apparently. EDIT: I wish PCPartPicker seriously added HDR Edited June 15, 2019 by Xiauj Hey I'm Xiauj Wassup :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard that before. 6 minutes ago, Streetguru said: Just pick up a 4k HDR TV on the side at some point in the future I was thinking about a 4k HDR10 TV but I dunno how I feel about using it as a monitor. That and the fact that 40+ Inches (size) would be wayyyy too big; anywhere between 20 Inches and 35-ish Inches is fine though. Because like, 40+ Inches is a decent ish size for TVs, I think?

That and the fact that 40+ Inches (size) would be wayyyy too big; anywhere between 20 Inches and 35-ish Inches is fine though. Things might have changed in a year, but that seems a bit unlikely. Some very expensive monitors are likely to have the specs to do proper HDR, probably need to look at the free-sync 2 displays for that. a TV as a monitor should be mostly fine, but a 40" TV isn't much bigger than a 34" ultrawide? And it gives you more vertical pixels with 4k. I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

Posted June 15, 2019 oh and btw, an ultrawide has nowhere as much real estate as a pair of 4:3 monitors, let alone 3 16:9 monitors. a trio of 16:9s has more than 2x the space. I'd reccommend a pair of 31.5" 4k monitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 15, 2019 Author @Streetguru & @Firewrath9 Ok so, putting HDR10 aside for a minute here.., What should I now be looking for to get the best picture quality for Games/Films/Picture&Video-Editing/Modelling? Because now I'm a bit confused on what to focus on when looking at the specs. And also My budget is around £350-£500 max. I can see a Samsung Ultrawide-QHD (UWQHD) for under £400 but I dunno if it's better than the LG one. I was also tempted by the BenQ EX3501R 3440x1440 Monitor but it's a bit too expensive for Me currently. Any other recommendations + advice?
