Posted February 29, 2016 Someone talk me out of spending 1000.00 for a monitor!!!! I spend 14+ hours a day on my computer, first for work and then for play. I am in the process of building a new system.( X99 MB / I7 / 32 GB DDR4 / GTX 980 x2 / 1000w PSU / Liquid cooling) I have been looking over the monitors for the past couple of weeks, looking at Linus reviews, reviews on newegg, Amazon, Memoryexpress etc etc and my head just hurts now. I like the UW was looking at AOC, Acer, LG... anyone have any suggestions on a monitor under a grand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially a 27" TN display, 144hz or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 29, 2016 The curved thing isnt all that to be fair, You can get a LG 34UM95 which is an ultrawide 34" 1440 Monitor, Lovely colours and the IPS is clear as day. And its half the price of the curved one, Get two lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
