Posted July 19, 2016 Ultrawide, 1440p on a 21" display is unbearable to use. 29" Ultrawide at 1080p is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 19, 2016 I would go with the Ultra wide There is little point of getting a 21 inch 1440p monitor IntelCorei54670k,Maximus VI Formula,Swift tech H220, 16gigs Corsair Dominator platinums, Asus DCUII GTX 780,1x256 840 evo, 1x 2TB Segate barracuda, Corsair AX 860, 3 X Noctua NF-F12, 2x Noctua NF A-14, Ducky Shine 3 Blue Leds Blue switches, Razer Death Adder 2012, Corsair vengence 1400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 19, 2016 Definitely Ultrawide. Be aware though that a 21 inch Ultrawide is going to be almost oddly "short" on the vertical. For example, my 29" Ultrawide is only as tall as my 24" 16:9 monitor. I couldn't even imagine how short a 21" would be. That said, the ultrawide was a game changer for me, though, in terms of gaming and overall productivity, hopefully you find the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am using a 19 inch monitor right now so I think it will be fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using the LG 29UM58-P. I like it but unfortunately it doesn't have Display Port, just 2xHDMI and 1xDVI. I myself will be looking into upgrading to an Ultrawide with Display Port in the future and will likely stay with LG because I like what they've been doing with their displays lately. There are 29" models of the LG that do have Display Port, such as the 29UM67-P and a variety of discontinued models that you might still be able to find kicking around. I would also look into Samsung and Dell, they have great Ultrawide displays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I have any compatibility problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the FreeSync won't work with Nvidia. You can still use the monitor, but it won't benefit from FreeSync. I really wish Nvidia would get on board with FreeSync, as it seems that's what most monitor manufacturers have chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they have to pay for G-Sync Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
