Only 2 remain

[statracka]

Alright I have spent the past 4 days looking through deals and monitors, and I think I have eliminated all but two....either that or I clearly have overlooked some quality stuff.

 

The final 2 are below, but first I am replacing my old monitor 1920x1080, 21 inch. I don't remember the other specs on it, but its an old Acer similar to this one (oldie)

 

I have a 1060 6gb, i5-8600k on a z370 main board (major things you need to know)

Option #1 = Samsung LC32HG70QQNXZA C32HG70 32-Inch HDR QLED Curved Gaming Monitor

Option #2 = VIOTEK GN34C 34 Inch Curved Gaming Monitor WQHD 

 

I need help deciding which one to buy because I am struggling. I want an upgrade, but I don't know what would fit right for me.

I will be doing a majority of video gaming with some side projects of video editting, website design, but MAINLY video gaming such as Overwatch, PUBG, WoW, D3, CSGO, etc

My price range is around $600 or below, which both of those fit into the "below" category.

If you have any other comparable options, I will definitely listen and hear you out.

 

Thank you all in advance!!

That is what all my buddies are saying, but I still can't get over the fact that there is no support for it in most games....ie Overwatch with the black bars on the side.

you are right, but again the amount of video editting and work I will be doing on this monitor is going to be less than the 30% real estate I will be acquiring with the acquisition of that monitor...
