Opinion on XL2730z

[Popple2000]

Hey guys,

 

As the title suggests, I am looking at the BenQ XL2730z currently on sale at canada computers for 80$ off @ 599$ CAD

I am Currently running a GTX 970 and am wondering if those two would make a decent pair.

I mostly play WoW, with a little BF4 and some Diablo etc mixed in.

I was looking at some of the 21:9 by LG but im thinking the 144hz and 1ms might be a better fit than 60hz on a ultrawide.

I am coming from a random 8ish year old 5ms Acer LCD so anything will be an improvement im sure.

600$ is around the max im looking to spend.

 

Thanks in advance.

it's a 1440p, so I don't think you'll benefit from the 144hz with a GTX 970 unless you lower the settings.

I personally think a 1080p (144hz or G-sync) would be more fitting for the GTX 970 with a lower price.

Good luck.

The cheapest G-Sync monitor I see is 499$ and its 24" and 1080p

Is going up to 1440p, 27", 1ms and 144hz not worth the 100$ extra for future forward if nothing else?

I should also mention, I am not against upgrading to a 1070 if the 970 cant handle it.

 

Thanks for the input, it's appreciated!

I am currently using a 24" 16:10 1200p monitor, so im not really looking to go smaller to be completely honest.

1920×1080 is smaller than 1920×1200.

Didn't notice the 1200,

yet I still think a 1080 is better since it's a 16:9

while the 1200 is 16:10

I am just not willing to downsize my monitor.

If I am spending more money, I'd like more pixels.. not less lol

I mean you have a GTX 970 which won't be the best for higher than 1080p.

But it should be fine with none high demanding games.
