Posted September 12, 2016 Hi, I'm looking to get 2 new monitors, one with 21:9 and one standard 16:9. The 21:9 will be used for a lot of programming so pretty good coloring. The other one will be used for more allround things but pretty good coloring is needed aswell. Both are for work but the 16:9 will be used for games and videos also, both preferably atleast 1440p. So I guess the 21:9 should be IPS, both maybe? I don't know so please tell me your thoughts and a lot of different alternatives is very much appriciated, everything up to maybe $850 each. Don't hesitate to ask if I didn't give enough info or something. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's true but I am going to upgrade so at first I won't be gaming at 1440p. Gaming on full resulotion on that monitor is in the near future, so you don't need to worry about that.

Posted September 12, 2016 These are my 2 recommendations, both are from Acer, I personally own the B6 and the colours are pretty amazing, however the downsides include -Not Curved (Makes a difference on these big moniters -Not a pretty design The 16:9 moniter is IPS from Acer and although I have not personally used one, they seem to have really good reviews, both are linked below, I understand the criteria is not exact for what you want but this is my best recommendation on the budget and intended use. Also @MVPernula He never said what he was playing, a 580 could be more than enough for indie games or older games. Although if he did intend to play modern blockbusters, an upgrade would be a good idea, maybe a 1060/RX480? https://www.amazon.com/Acer-R240HY-bidx-23-8-Inch-Widescreen/dp/B0148NNKTC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473675310&sr=8-1&keywords=acer+monitor https://www.amazon.com/Acer-UM-CB6AA-004-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B0174X4EWK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1473675335&sr=8-5&keywords=acer+ultrawide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I would simply swap out the 16:9 for a Asus MX27, brilliant moniter 1440p and an IPS display. This is still hugely under your budget so because you intend to game and will be running fairly tasking software, I would recommend putting the rest of the money towards your PC, maybe a GTX 1070? Without knowing your CPU, It would probably be good to put it that way, you have a pretty huge budget for monitors alone and spending more will be a huge waste of money for very minor gains, the only upgrade that would be noticeable is getting the X34 from Acer but that is probably overkill for your uses, that is also linked below (2nd link) https://www.amazon.com/MX27AQ-2560x1440-DisplayPort-Back-lit-Monitor/dp/B00VRKVGSC/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1473676053&sr=1-5&keywords=IPS&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A6570749011 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-34-Inch-X34A-Curved-Monitor/dp/B01DOIFV12/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1473676297&sr=1-1&keywords=x34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well then your best bet is the Acer X34 and the Asus MX27, very close to your budget and both very high quality moniters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
