Sell 4K 60hz Monitor & GET 34" 144hz Ultrawide Monitor?

[LookingforanIDA7license]

I have a Samsung TN Panel 29" 60Hz 4K Monitor running pretty well and pretty much all I excepted from a 300$/€ 4K Monitor.

But now I'm considering getting into

• 144Hz Gaming and Media consumption
• Ultrawide (34") Monitor

My current GPU is a GTX 1060 6GB and yes I know its not the best option for 4K Gaming but I'm flexible and honestly most games I play work with 4k and flexible settings / cfg changes maintaining 4k gaming without choping down to medium-low and staying above 60fps.

But as I have said ealier, I'm considering Ultrawide 144hz Gaming and media consumption. The 144Hz aspect of the monitor I've found is already making me switch and on top of that the wider screen would be perfect for both gaming and media consumption (TV-Shows like The Walking Dead or House of Cards etc...,  youtube videos).

 

What is the best option I can pick atm? Stay @ comfortable 4K 29" awful choppy 60Hz or sell it and get for a little price up a 34" 144Hz or a 32" 144Hz Monitor.

My Monitor: https://www.alternate.de/Samsung/U28E590D-LED-LED-Monitor/html/product/1207929

34 144H: https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/5145569_-34uc79g-b-lg-electronics.html

32" 144Hz: https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/ProductCategory/3832F2623586-5356919.html?sortKey=minPrice

Don't focus on my gpu, if I can survive with 4k and still get 60fps with a bit of tweaking and flexibility on it then I'm sure the other monitors (lower res.) won't pose a problem.

I would rather prefer 1440p then 1080p but you guys are the experts .

should consider the pounding on the CPU, going from 60hz or less (most likely) for 144hz. What CPU do you have?

As far as I am concerned the only 34 inch 144hz ultrawides available are of 2560x1080p resolution and this is not an optimal resolution for 34 inch screens, too too much pixelation.

 

It will look awful, if you were going for a 3440x1440p100hz I'd say yes! go for it as it'll much better than the old fashion 16:9 4k that's pretty much the same as 2560x1440p but with hardly noticeable super sampling.

 

But I can not advise any one into going 2560x1080p at 34 inch.

This is my monitor i love it https://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-xf270h-27-led-fhd-freesync-monitor-black/6096600.p?skuId=6096600&ref=212&loc=1&extStoreId=383&ds_rl=1260666&ds_rl=1266837&ref=212&loc=1&ds_rl=1266837&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgPPan6jR3gIVScDICh1AEAylEAQYASABEgKvcvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds But remeber its a freesync monitor you have a nvidia gpu so you want g-sync but if you dont care about that just go with whatever you like

I heard about that. Is the difference between 100hz - 144hz noticable because I really want a 144hz panel that isn't 1080p and small.

3440x1440p it is then.

Looks like a classical 1080p 2X-ish Monitor, yes 144hz, but still has nothing to do with my question.

Re-read my question because I ask for an ultrawide monitor with 144hz and ultrawide can't possibly mean a tiny 20 inch monitor can it ?

My bad but like the guy above said 3440x1440p whould be the best way to go

I personally can see a great deal of difference from 60fps to 80~100fps but past 100ish mark it becomes extremely diminishing. Every one's eyes are different yes but I do think that at 100hz you will have enough butter smooth experience to make the much superior image quality and immersion of a ultrawide worth it.

 

Both my brother and I went with 3440x1440p, if the flagships with g-sync and 100hz are too pricey LG does feature some awesome 3440x1440p IPS Matte panels that can work as high as 80hz with overclock.

 

It's up to you but like I said 21:9 is worth it, you get a shit ton of extra virtual space, the screen itself has this extra high end luxury feeling to it, gaming has better immersion, movies on original aspect ratio will fit perfectly no black bars on the bottom, no weird UI scaling that sometimes happens at 4k, you can get browser extensions to make youtube work on 21:9... it's widely supported by now... I think it's worth it... You'll feel tempted to get a more powerful GPU though if you'll play AAA gaming.

So I looked around the netinter and it seems like 34" 3440x1440p @ 120hz is the way to go though its hard to find anything under 400$/€.

Before you ask, yes I always look for the cheapest price tag while getting the most out of it (preferably imho). Sure my monitor is a TN Panel but most wouldn't go insane because of that.

 

I really don't wanna go with 32" or even worse <32" because my 29" monitor in terms of size right now is.....ok...a......y....:(.

TV-Shows (media consumption) & non-esports Gaming (though still fps and rl are on the list) are the main reasons I bought a pc. Sadly most AAA Devs are console exclusives so I just wannna make sure that in the worst events I have a monitor that will suit the needs in all cases.

I mean it's good enough monitor all around, what console you play at? PC has almost every Triple A game out there aside Sony/Nintendo exclusives which are games made by themselves.

Nnonono I have a pc with the specs stated in the beginning, I was just saying that a lot of good AAA games like TLOU, Days Gone,RDR2 etc are console locked because of damn corp greed. So in the event that I buy a used console (must be depressing times) that I will be able to enjoy my monitor anyway (I have no clue if I will be able to use freesync etc on console (screen tearing) but that's not the main topic now).

Rockstar will bring it to PC next year's ending, and you still got a lot of other titles to play any ways hehe but yes you're right, it's great screen so it'll pretty much serve you to any thing a great screen can serve

Anyway

What would be the best monitor 34" 120hz under 500$/€ ? Black friday & cyber monday coming up so I think its possible.

What about this one: https://www.viewsonic.com/de/products/lcd/XG3240C.php

Sadly only 32" but it got 144hz and hdr and 1440p. Is it a go or no?

If I play a game and get 110fps will it still feel smooth or do I have to get +144fps?
