I was advised to create a poll on my previous posted thread. Please respond.  I quote my original question as follows:

I'm been working ridiculously hard recently and I need to give myself a Christmas gift. I'm in the market to get myself a new monitor and I need your advice. 

 

I'm running GTX1080 and Intel 4790K. I currently have a 28inch Dell 4K monitor--but it's not all that great-- it only supports 4K at 30hz (old monitor). Which was acceptable at first but now I really want a higher refresh rate.

 

Now here is the question: 4K at 60hz--there is no higher refresh rate supported currently if I'm not mistaken; or 21:9, 2k at 70 to 100hz. 

 

I really like the vibrant color, sharp image delivered by 4K and nothing else but I also really want a cinematic experience that only a 21:9 can deliver and going from 30hz I realized that refresh rate is essential. 

 

Help please? I'm probably not (oh who knows) going to upgrade my monitor for another (at least) 4 to five years and I want a solid pick that I will thank myself for. Thank you in advance for helping.

I'd prefer 1080p 144Hz as that's the resolution most games still work best with. I also only play Overwatch so that's just their lack of FOV adjustment past 1080p talking as well

 

That said, although 4K sounds cool I think that you would need a huge monitor to take advantage of that many pixels, like 31" or more, and I don't see myself needing a monitor that big nor that many pixels. 1440P 16:9 or 21:9 would be my max.

VR is coming in, so buying a fancy monitor won't be future-proofing.
