1440p 144hz +IPS or Ultra wide 3440 x1440p

[ExcitezR]

so im currently using 3 ips 21 inch screens and want something a bit better what should i get.

 

i have used the ROG swift IPS 165 Hz but had to send it back because dad pixels and a lot of people are having bad luck with them at the moment 

 

so what do you think i should get i have only used 165hz for 1 day and it was nice and felt smooth but not 100% sure i need it.

 

give me suggestions

Why not get the best of almost both worlds and get the Acer Predator?

[Praesi]

27" IPS 1440p 144hz gsync.

 

Thats the perfect sweetspot between visuals and performance. In most AAA Game you dont reach 165fps anyway.

 

For Ultrawide your Card is not strong enough.

thats what i was looking at but i have seen that some people have been getting bad ones but i might go for it and if i get a bad one send it back and try again

That's the problem with the internet. You'll only really hear about those who buy it and have an issue.

There are probably way, way more that sell and are perfectly fine. No product is perfect

Well for one it's ugly as sin and a total ripoff considering the asus ultrawide 144hz panel is just around the corner. If he goes the 3440x1440 144hz route it might be worth waiting a month.

 

 

OP

 

Personally, I'd get the dell or samsung ultrawide if you're considering making the move. Just a heads up though, your 970 is going to have a really tough time with games.

No. I waited 4 Month´s bevore i bought it. I got lucky and the first one was perfect. No dead pixels or blb. Just a tiny glow which is normal for IPS. Only visible when i start the PC.

Haha, don't remind me..

Well aesthetics are a pretty personal thing so dismissing an option because of that is foolish.

Is the Asus one IPS? If so that could be the holy grail of monitors!

Ultrawide is awesome. But you need serious Graphicspower to get decent Frames in AAA Games on Ultra.

I agree on the aesthetics point. It just doesn't do it for me. The asus one will be an IPS panel.

is it not just 1440p but a bit wider?

[Praesi]

is it not just 1440p but a bit wider?

Its almost 4k.

Sexy! That stand though. It's awfully close to the one you dislike

I'm just glad they didn't try and axe out anything like height adjust.

You get a lot more horizontal pixels as well. It's not really that close to 4k, so you shouldn't have that much trouble running games.

 

3440x1440p - 4,953,600 pixels

2560x1440p - 3,686,400 pixels

3820x2160p - 8,251,200 pixels

 

Its almost 4k.

It's actually a fair ways from 4k.

[eLucid]

Its almost 4k.

 

Almost doesn't even come close. I'd say there's a huge difference between the two.

 

is it not just 1440p but a bit wider?

 

 

2560x1440 is 3.67 megapixels. 3440x1440 is roughly 4.95 megapixels whereas 4K is 8.3 MP. It may not seem like much but it's a big difference!

 

 

 

 

Damn, dizmo beat me

Its very close to 4k.

Haha, all the hours spent on this when I could have been more productive...

It's funny, me and a buddy were having lunch the other week, and he looks at me and say "I calculated it. With all the time I've spent playing Eve, I could have legitimately been most of the way through a 4 year degree."

[dizmo]

Its very close to 4k.

I wouldn't call just over half very close.
