Professional & Gaming Monitors

[McTeaV]

So I'm in a dilemma where i can't decide between three different monitors that I'm looking to get for my work (3D applications, video) and gaming. I've come across three that I want, but need some advice one what the differences are and the value for what I want.

The two ultra wide monitors seem to be the exact same except for one has an adjustable stand and other doesn't. The 1440p monitor has a slight higher resolution but not as big as I want and and LPS panel instead of AH-IPS. I would rather have one monitor to do my work on and game on and the ultra wide ones seems to be my preference, but I thought to get some feedback on any differences and any other experiences on where to head.

Once you go 21:9 you never go back.

Do you need color accuracy or not? What types of games you play?

How much gaming you do compared to professional work?

Well I currently am running a TN monitor and would like to use either an IPS or LPS for more accurate look when doing rendering and managing videos. If the monitor is running at min 60hz I'm fine for gaming. I'm not a competitive gamer so I don't need the fastest refresh rate just something that doesn't interfere with my immersion. I guess my biggest question would be if its worth going to an LPS instead of an AH-IPS.

The difference is none visible between PLS and IPS of similar specifications.

Samsung claims is that is costs less to produce by up to 15%, improved view angles, and increase image quality. However, it is not clear which type of IPS panels it is comparing too: eIPS, E-IPS, S-IPS, H-IPS, P-IPS, AH-IPS, AS-IPS, IPS-Pro, or a mix of. If we compare decent to high end models of AH-IPS and PLS, they both have the same view angles, and image quality (which is not to be confused with color accuracy, as that is up to the manufacture to adjust the colors correctly).

hmmmm I think I'll go with the PB298Q since I think the ultra wide display will be better for what I want to do with and bit cheaper to the other one.

Thanks for the input.
