I have 2 monitors and I cannot figure out which I want to use as main monitor.

 

What would you pick as main monitor?

I play World of Warcraft most of the time but I play various genres of singleplayer games. I also play online shooters here and there though I'm crappy and I'll probably stay crappy even if I had 240Hz.

 

I keep getting mixed responses. Some people insist on the 144Hz and others think the wider resolution is better even though the Hz is lower by 44.

I only have a GTX 1080 right now but I will soon be building a new PC with better performance so hardware isn't relevant.

Its really up to what you want. Its a matter of taste.

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. 
It matters that you don't just give up.”

It is a personal preference, when it all boils down to it. 

 

I have an old LG Ultrawide @ 60Hz. And I have 2 monitors at work. 

I just prefer the screen space.
