Ultrawide with these specs?!?

[James8157]

Okay, so I need you guys' help with choosing an ultrawide monitor.

 

I have been googleing for F**KING YEARS (so 4 months) for a monitor of my required specs AND of low price point. (keep in mind that I live in Australia and our import taxes are shit. If anyone knows of a monitor with the following specs, that'd be great if you mention it.

 

Will be using a GTX 1080FTW2 as GPU.

 

 Specs Required: 

- 3440x1440p

- Curved*

- 100Hz*

- 38 inch max*

- Looks gorgeous*

- G-sync (NOT FREESYNC)

- Max of 10ms response time (only if other specs are included)

- Display port input

 

A max of 2 of the required specs marked with a "*" can missing for me to be cool with the purchase. 

 

So your help is SUPER GREATLY appreciated and I just need a few more hands to help search! 

 

Other comments:

Won't be buying it anytime soon, maybe in 6 months or so as I need to save- so no sales! I can sell my current monitor(AOC 2770G4) for about $200-300AUD. 

I play a HUGE range of games so yeahhhh.

I knoww

[Oryzaki]

so how much are you willing to pay because most monitors that i can find cost 800-1000USD

[iBabySlapper]

Maybe consider the korean ultrawides/high refresh screens?

I'd be looking for around that point yeah. I dont want to go over $1000 USD. That is the absolute max.

you can get this it is not g- synk and its 1440p  but its 4k conterpart is 900USD

29UM68-P, I can't have enough of those... it is the literal best cost to benefice ultrawide in the market and a GTX 1080 will allow you to use the most out of this panel (fast sync at 80hz is amazingly good already when you have that level of IPS image quality).

 

Now if you insist on 1440p ultrawide the x34 is probably the best option but the price is very salty.

I have seen some on Ebay, but they don't have the specs I want. I have never had a G-sync monitor before and apparently it is a "must have".

 2.4k-3.0kUSD for all

I have used both it made no difference to me but others may disagree.

Oh yeah, seen this before. Actually highly considered it for a moment but I do really need that 3440x1440p :/. Looks like an amazing value though!!

I agree, with nVidia implementation of FastSync, G-Sync is nothing but an overpriced small gain feature nowadays.

 It looks good, but I can't lose 3440x1440 of G-sync.

Careful with it as well, 2560x1080p resolution sweet spot is 29inches, if you get a 34inch (or higher) screen size with that resolution you'll face heavy pixelation.

This is literally the same monitor as the Asus Rog but a tiny bit cheaper (literally the same screen inside of that box) so if one suits your aesthetic better...

Ahaha that's okay. 
And OH MY GOD that looks damn perfect. I seriously am a bit in love with this right now :'(.

I'll think about it. It is over the price limit by $200, but man does it include everything I need...
Thanks for the suggestion!

Honestly i though this was what you based your specs off of.

I saw this in my research (I think everyone has xD). But I'm not too keen on the fact that you have to overclock it for 100Hz. Or is that just a brandname for a video display preset mode? 

It does appeal to be though! I'd consider it, but the price is a bit eeeeehhhhh.

Hahaha, not really.

I learn't that I should've bought a monitor with G-sync, then low response time, then higher res. I didn't think I'd need a GREAT monitor, much like I thought I didn't need the non-k version of my CPU. Big mistake...

[James8157]

Going offline for today. TTYL, thanks for the advice so far people!

[Princess Luna]

Oh no the "overclock" thingy is just that it'll default on 60hz and you need to make the custom resolution through nVidia control panel, that is pretty normal and standard and the Asus Rog also requires it, neither is out of the box 100hz if you don't tweak the refresh rate on nVidia control panel.

well given asus usually is the "premium" maker inc omparison to Viewsonic/acer/aoc, their 34 inch ultrawide 3440x1440p 100hz panel pg348q is almost 1.7k aud+ so im most likely not gonna see the 38 inch any cheaper [bigger immersion factor over a 34 ]
