Hi, im going to buy myself a new monitor. I am choosing between the "Asus 34" LED G-Sync Rog Swift PG348Q" and the "Acer 34" Predator Curved LED G-Sync X34". They are in about the same price range. Which one should i buy and why? Which one is the better one in terms of gaming? I am really bad when it comes to monitors! I would really appreciate some help! 

 

Thanks in advance!

They are basically the same panel so.... its down to which one looks cooler lol

on the specifications, the Asus one says " FULL HD  3440 x 1440" and the Acer says "QHD 3440 x 1440". It might be a typo from the website im buying one of the monitors from or is it a difference between those two?

Why buy a curved monitor when you can buy a regular one cheaper and bend it yourself?

- ASUS X99 Deluxe - i7 5820k - Nvidia GTX 1080ti SLi - 4x4GB EVGA SSC 2800mhz DDR4 - Samsung SM951 500 - 2x Samsung 850 EVO 512 -

- EK Supremacy EVO CPU Block - EK FC 1080 GPU Blocks - EK XRES 100 DDC - EK Coolstream XE 360 - EK Coolstream XE 240 -

Down to the core panels/guts looking at the core componants they are the same panels...

though the acer one would have a little more backlight bleed

And whichever's cheapest, they both use the same panel.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.
