Have in mind it's not just DisplayPort but also FreeSync support and 75hz Refresh Rate vs 60hz Refresh Rate.

 

I'd buy the LG 29WK600 personally since screens last a long time you might wanna do this investment for more fluid experience.

I have been looking for an Ultrawide. There are 3 models up to 260 euros:

  1. LG 29WK500 ~ 190 € (2 HDMI, no HDR, no DP)
  2. LG 29WK600 ~ 255€ (2 HDMI, HDR10, DPort)
  3. LG 29UM69G-B ~ 235 € (1 HDMI, DPort and USB-C)

I have a GTX1060, I spend more of my time coding, watching some movies and some games (mainly RPGs and MMORPGs, Simulators - like ArmA and Eurotruck and some shooters). Im going to keep an 24'' 16:9 screen

 

After a small research, I saw that the WK600 is a popular model in this price range.

Is it worth spending 45+€ for a DisplayPort? I need (at least) 1 HDMI Port + 1HDMI or DPort
