I'm starting to look for a new Ultrwaide monitor and am looking for advice. The display will be used for video editing, general day to day use and some light gaming. The gaming is currently Forza Horizon 4 & Overwatch.

 

The specs for the PC the monitor will be used with are

CPU - i7 5820K

GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Memory - 32 GB DDR4

Sorry, forgot that bit.

 

Probably around the £700 mark as in the UK, bit more if need be.

Think I will end up with one of the following

 

Asus ROG Swift Curved PG348Q 34"ultrawide

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Curved-PG348Q-3440x1440-monitor/dp/B01A9EN4YU

 

or

 

BenQ EX3501R 35" ultrawide

https://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-EX3501R-Curved-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B075JGKX59/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=EX3501R&qid=1562425485&s=computers&sr=1-1

 

As I have a Gsync GPU would the Asus be better?

I was going to suggest either the X34P (the one I have), or the LG 34GK950F-B (no Gsync, but has HDR 400 support).

I have the LG 34UC89G-B, a 34" 21:9 curved monitor with GSync.  I love it.  Currently $540 on Amazon.
