Best ultrawide under 320€?

[NunoLava1998]

I just want a good quality ultrawide that will last me atleast 3-4 years. I only have a RX 570 and do plan to game, so if possible i wouldn't go higher than 90hz and 2560x1080. Since that is a lot of money for an ultrawide like that, maybe I could get some professional monitor with incredibly good colors. Nothing else, really.

1080p ultrawides kinda suck. The whole point of a ultrawide is to be big and with 1080p, the PPI is atrocious. I would probaly just stick with a decent 16:9 panel if you need 144hz.

This seems like a good option

I don't need 144hz; for me resolution and color is most important. 75hz is pretty good for me.

If you can stretch the budget a bit, have a look at this Asus VG 279Q:

That isn't ultrawide, and that's pretty expensive for a 144hz monitor wtf?

Yes, because I agree with Himommies. I don't think you will be happy with an ultrawide at 1080p.

29'' or 34'' ?

I would go for a higher res monitor, unfortunately anything higher than 2560x1080 is atleast 500€. And I do prefer ultrawide; i do some coding and also do need more screen space

Doesn't matter as long as it's more than 27" (and isn't 847")

If you insist on an ultrawide, then maybe this 29" IPS Freesync LG monitor:

Looks like they're the same monitor (except screen sizes; i prefer 29"). I'll probably go for the LG-29WK600-W (210€) and get something else with it. Thank you for the suggestions

Yes, at 1080p I think you definitely prefer a 29" over a 34".

29'' ultrawide is pretty small. 29" UW is about the same height as a 23-24" standard 16:9 monitor.

I actually do use a monitor that size so that's good

For my own edification, I calculated the PPI of common monitor sizes. Interesting, I think.

 

Monitor Resolutions (Diagonal)

 

1080 x 1920    24"    92 PPI

 

                        27"    82 PPI

 

                        30"    73 PPI

 

1080 x 2560    25"   111 PPI

 

                        29"    96 PPI

 

                        34"    82 PPI

 

                        35"    79 PPI

 

1440 x 2560    24"   122 PPI

 

                        27"   109 PPI

 

                        32"     92 PPI

 

1440 x 3440    34"    110 PPI

 

                        35"    107 PPI

I actually just measured, my monitor is 19" o_o

Any small 75hz ultrawides, or is 29" the smallest?

Product page says it's 22", so it's likely that. 29" should be okay then.

Yes, I think the diagonal measurement may include the bezel, but my calculations were based on actual screen size. Pizapower noted that the 29" ultrawide has the same vertical height as a typical 23-24", so I don't think you would want any smaller than a 29" ultrawide unless you live on a cruise ship. Looking at reviews and forums, many people seem quite happy with the 34" ultrawides, but if you do much production work I think the resolution would be too low. It's the same PPI though as a 1080p 27" and you don't hear many complaints about those (24" is considered the sweet spot for 1080p though.)

I don't do production work. I game, code and browse stuff a lot. Colors is important because I want it to be good for long, and I'm upgrading from a shit 1920x1080 TN monitor. I'll go for the 29". Thank you!
