I will be using 980ti sli for my set up. Im looking for a high refesh monitor (if posible bigger than 28 inches) could be ultra wide or not as long as it is 1440p. Thanks

Edit: any alternatives to acer predator x34?

https://www.asus.com/uk/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG279Q/ It's 27" which is unfortunate but here are the specs if you want them:
 

  • 27-inch, WQHD 2560 x 1440 resolution display feature IPS technology for wide 178-degree viewing angles and lifelike gaming visuals
  • World-first 165Hz refresh rate and NVIDIA®G-SYNC™ technology for seamless visuals and smooth gameplay
  • ASUS-exclusive Ultra-Low Blue Light, Flicker-Free, GamePlus, and GameVisual technologies provide a comfortable gaming experience
  • Ergonomically-designed stand with full tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustment for comfortable viewing position

Sorry, I couldn't find a response time but you didn't state what you wanted for that in your post.

you could also look at the x34 if your willing to pay that extreme price tag

Thanks for the advice. I always come across this monitor. But i kind of find it to be small for my taste. I should look in to it anyways. Thanks

The LG 34UM95 and 34UM97 are ultrawide 3440*1440 and I think they're a little cheaper. The 97 is curved and the 95 is flat
