WIth a lot of bias I would say the LG. Their screens are pretty nice and they are both almost the same otherwise.

If you enable FreeSync on the monitor you can have 75hz of native refresh rate on the LG one using a nVidia card, while keeping the highler quality IPS and what not... so I would go with it the LG one.

Yes let me explain it clearly, I have had these LG ultrawides all my life.

 

You can not have FreeSync working because obviously it is a nVidia GPU and nVidia doesn't support it so they can sell the much more over-priced G-Sync alternative, we all know this.

 

Now there's a catch here, you have to actually turn on FreeSync on the MONITOR'S SETTINGS nothing to do with your PC, otherwise the monitor will tell the system it's native refresh rate is 60hz.

 

When you enable/turn on FreeSync on it's internal settings then it will change it's native refresh rate up to 75hz and it will work at 75hz perfectly (natively) even with the nVidia GPU so you gain for free these extra 15 frames per second.

 

Very important step to do, you can try overclocking it on nVidia control panel but that way only works in some games, others when on full screen will reset back to 60hz but if you do this and the 75hz is native to the screen then ALL games will V-Sync correctly at 75fps.

yes but as I said 75hz only is available when you turn freesync on in the monitor's settings, if you don't then its native refresh rate is 60hz.

Yes when your refresh rate is natively set at 75hz its optional that you turn or not v-sync, I just meant that if you do it'll correctly set it at 75fps.

depends on what you plan on doing. If you're playing games, what games you play. Large screens are more immersive, but high refresh rate and 16:9 is much better for competitive gameplay because everything you need to see are within field of vision without turning your head around.

Why?

[Jurrunio]

because ultrawides put the GUI (health bar, ammo count, player list etc) outside your field of vision, and forces you to roll your eyes away from the centre crosshair for your weapon. The image quality of the Acer is good itself, while there arent that many 21:9 videos out there to provide perfect scaling with the ultrawide anyway.

You still lose the smooth video of high refresh rate in games

If i can get the refresh rate with an i7 860 also the panel can oc roi 75hz the ultrawide

no match to the 165Hz the acer can hit with an overclock

Yes but with an i7 860 is difficult to reach those fps

Upgrade the CPU later then, the Acer has Gsync. Only buy the ultrawide for slow paced games and productivity work
