[skullrebell]

So similarly to on here i was asking for recomendations for a 1440p gaming 21:9 monitor and i get their user "streetguru" now having delt with him in the past all he does is recomend you go 4k and massive monitors, due to it being the same ppi, but seriously this guy is just so dense, its comical.....

If you still want recommendations to 21:9 monitors, we can still help but unfortunately bitching about them on this forum isn't going to help and it won't go anywhere.

[NeatSquidYT]

TekSyndicate forum is pretty crap anyways

You do know that "Streetguru" is also on this forum right? He wouldn't be happy if he saw this.

True but if he really was just suggesting useless monitors then I don't blame skullrebell for bitching.

I love the predator x34 monitor but everywhere i buy electronics from is out fo stock or dosent carry it what are some other good ultra wide 1440p monitors you would recommend for gaming?

You seem like you've made your choice already. Why do you even ask other people for opinion?

Go on PCPartPicker and google the lineup of 1440p ultrawide panels.

It's not a market of 50 brands and 20 choices per model.

If you don't consider 4K, then the whole thread is quite pointless to be fair.

Here's your issue: Wendell dislikes ultra wide monitors and really likes 4k 40 inch instead. Now he actually has reasonable and well rounded arguments for his preference but I'm sure regular forum users wouldn't be as enlightened in their defense of 40 inch 4k

it was a thread asking for recommendations for other ultrawides other than the x34...

TS forums are mostly influenced by the ideas of TS, wow so hard to understand.  Asking for ultrawides in a community that in general isn't a fan of ultrawides isn't exactly smart.  Now the guy who replied to you would not let up about his whole idea that 40 inch 4K is superior, BUT, a lot of people would say the opposite in this forum.  Someone asking for a 4K will indubitably get pointed in the direction of 1440p Ultrawides.

 

It's like the whole thing with the Korean monitors.  Tek Syndicate loves them to death, and so does their community because they are such good value for money.  LTT is meh about them, so this community is meh about them, citing bad QC and B+ panel quality as reasons to not go with them.  None of these claims are wrong.  And none of that guys claims are wrong either, 40inch 4K is probably the best bang for buck, especially given how Ultrawides are prohibitively expensive, and cheapo Korean 4K monitors are like 500 bucks.

[ShadowCaptain]

tbf I wouldnt ever recommend an ultrawide either so yeah

What's there to recommend?

"I have that monitor, so it's great."

You rarely have people that had other monitors to compare so it's all just a pissing contest of "I bought this so it must be good".

Add a Freesync or Gsync into the matter and you're shorting the list by about 4 panels because that's the whole damn lineup.

If you're looking for a general opinion what should you buy - Hey, I'll recommend a 32 inch BenQ 3840x2160 which I'm having myself. 100% Adobe sRGB, 60Hz refresh rate, great quality, perfect size for the panel of a home office gaming monitor.

But you're not looking for a general opinion on panels, neither for what is reasonable to run based on your preferences and choices in your PC Build. You're looking for peer pressure what should you buy by someone's recommendation.

Don't.

Look the reviews yourself, don't be lazy, select the ones based on their specifications and what you can and will afford. And you complain about someone trying to give you more ideas about widening your spectrum into 4K suggesting - Hey, maybe buy this?

And that's a big problem.

Is it so hard to get an opinion of your own?

My mate's got a 34' Ultrawide (LG), and I have a 32' 4K (BenQ).

We both reached conclusions that from time to time we would swap with each other, because we see benefit in having either option.

I'm having much more vertical space, and the panel in general feels like a huge ass canvas to work with - meanwhile I'm envious of the FOV he has in video games - He sees much more stuff on the horizontal plane, as expected with Ultrawide.

Reddting on Ultrawide would personally annoy me, even though it's not a huge difference.

Both come with issues - Fallout 4 had problems with supporting it, while Battlefield 4 has a ridiculous scaling of GUI in 4K. I personally love the pixel density of a 4K panel, gaming on it is a completely new experience every single time you turn a game on, the screen clarity is mind boggling, the AntiAliasing more of a "bonus" than a necessity.

It really boils down to what you want - and if you are a reasonable customer - you look left, and right - and then make a choice. 

And regarding the 'He couldn't let go of the 4K thing' - Some people just can't handle facts, and fanboy about everything. If you keep an open mind, you're going to have an open discussion.

Another thing is, you came for recommendations and he gave you one. It wasn't what you expected, so you rage about it on a completely different forum? That's what boggles my mind.

 

[skullrebell]

Something your missing is I have told him on other forums I can't physically see 4k due to visual problems so he constantly says to go 4k

Also I know nothing of the specs of monitors or what they mean regarding gaming.... So that's why I asked for recommendations since to me I see a price and think that's more expensive so it must be better.
