Posted March 26, 2018 Hey guys, I want to upgrade to a Ultrawide monitor but I can't decide on what monitor to get, I see all the features and problems of some monitors (Like backlight bleed) and other things and it all makes me kind of lost on what to do. I want it to be at least 1440p (3440x1440p) because im looking to upgrade to a 1080ti or equivalent soon. I also don't play any competitive games like Overwatch/DOTA/LEAGUE etc. I mostly play RPG's like Skyrim, Fallout, Mass Effect, Kingdom Come: Deliverance or strategy games like Stellaris, Civ 5/6, Hearts of Iron etc. So I don't really know what I need in terms of refresh rates or features like G-Sync. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 26, 2018 Not really. This is one of Asus's best monitors and I don't think there will be backlight issues. You can also get something from LG if you think this monitor isn't good.

I returned two of them because of backlight bleeding and finally ended up with the Samsung C34H890 that has a VA panel. The Samsung is still a 100Hz, 3440x1440 panel but it's half the price and there's no noticeable bleeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
