I have a VG248QE running on either a 1050ti or 970gtx and was looking to upgrade to a ultra wide. I mainly play FFXIV and looking at an ultra wide for the hud. Problem is I don't want to spend a ton. There's 2 monitor's I'm looking at

 

LG 34UM61-P 34" (Refurbished)

and

LG 29UM69G-B 29"
 

both are at 330CAD. Or should I just stick to the monitor I have now? I am a bit tired how my huds are all squished together.

Does the game properly support 21:9 resolutions?

This one's $199 CAD unless you were looking for 1440p 21:9

Otherwise I'd maybe suggest just investing in a 4k display at this point. You can just run the game in a 21:9 window most likely.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Everyone I saw that had one, loved it.

 

How does that one compare to the ones I posted?

It's still a 21:9 1080p display and it costs less money? It's also sharper because it's not 29" or w/e.

Out of the two I chose, what is the big diff between the two. I don't see much other than one is 75hz and the other is 75 when in freesync.

 

What I'm worried about is that they are refurbished and not certified.

 

The only other 34" i see is LG 34WK500-P.

 

I already have a 24" 16:9 so a 25 wouldn't be that much of an upgrade.

Anyone at all with suggestions?

Is the 1ms MBR worth it on the LG 29UM69G-B? Or should I use that money and buy a LG 34UM59-P? It's 5ms like the 69g but no MBR.

 

If I do splurge AOC C3583FQ or LG 34UM69G-B

Seriously anyone at all?

 

Read up everything on the forum on the monitors I mentioned. Nothing that I didn't already know,  false information, or they had no idea.

 

Out of frustration I just ordered a 29UM69G-B

 

I'm quite disappointed that almost no one wanted even bother suggesting something to me.
