AGON AG352QCX 35" 2560X1080 MVA 4MS 200HZ FreeSync

I was looking at this Monitor too as I'm looking for an Ultrawide , and I'm sure it's Freesync too ?, It's a shame cos I would have probably taken a risk and got one

It has Adaptive Sync, but i don't think we've officially stamped it with the FreeSync badge. That said, it should work with FreeSync just fine. I'll try to provide more colour on this once i do some digging internally.

i have a 32inch 1920x1080 monitor 144hz... its good, image quality is ok, but for the price i would go for a 1440p tbh

yeah PPI is pretty low. Fine for midrange gaming PC to get decent fps, and movies. But maybe not so great for desktop and with a decent gaming PC where you want high res as well.

The LG 34" is 1" smaller, same res so slightly higher PPI
 
Yes with low ppi and at this size, sitting close you do notice some quality differences..
I am pretty happy with my monitor tbh, and it was a real bargain for 249£
but for the 500£ price i would go with a 27 inch 1440p 144hz monitor.. easily.. not a big difference in size, better image quality.. happy customer

Problem with 1440 is fair higher than my existing monitor (1900x1200) 24" framerates are good, I think PPI for this monitor is about spot on, however if I go bigger then guess either make compromise of FPS or lower PPI. Especially if I go UW 1440 probably framerate would be semi unplayable.

Unless I game at 1080p on a 1440p monitor letting GPU (or monitor) to scale to ease burden on native 1440p

Isnt this monitor the one with 79ppi? 79ppi at this size is fairly low.
this monitor as a twin brother with less HZ but higher PPI.
1440p monitors are always playable at 1080p and when you are able to get into the 1440p its already there ready for you.

like i said, i own a 32 inch curved monitor,1080,144hz and 71ppi .
its just a monitor, nothing amazing. i do like its size,its like a TV.. but thats pretty much about it..lol
think my acer gn246hl 144hz 24inch was a bit better.. but every own with its own tastes. i got this and i dont regret.
 
Problem with 1440p large screen is that they don't offer high refresh. The 34" 1080 is 144hz. But the 34" 1440 is 60 maybe 75hz. That means limited freesync range as well. Not saying I could output 144hz @ 1440p as I have 480, however at 1080p scaled to 1440p then I would get say 50-100fps in games which is over the 75hz of the 34" 1440p.

I have seen a mates 32" 1366x768 LCD, I wouldn't be able to use that as a PC monitor. Also had a 40" 1080p LCD but it's been a while. That is 55 PPI. Don't have that LCD anymore (so 34"/35" 1080p is better and halfway between what I have now)
 
OK so got me monitor , can I ask please, as the Monitor is not G-Sync do I set the " Sync " in NCP to Adaptive or to " On " ?

thanks :)

It's OK dont bother to answer lol , I have to send the Monitor back as the image quality ( Games and Films ) on screen is so bad ( Out of focus , fuzzy , blurry and so on ) it must have something wrong with it ? .

What monitor were you using before? The pixel density is similar to a 27" Full HD monitor, so that is hardly stellar. And some of the older UltraWides I've tested using similar panels (Acer Z35, AOC C3583FQ) have obvious issues with pixel responsiveness for some 'high contrast' transitions. This one is similar in terms of responsiveness, according to your feedback and that of other users.

So your observations are not unusual given these two things.
 
I have been using a 27" ROG Swift G-Sync 144Hz TN Panel , sitting next to that is a 27" BenQ TN 144Hz , both of which are clear and sharp when gaming, I have also used a 29" LG IPS never had issues with that panel either.

So you're saying these issues are commen to Curved , bigger , older superwides ,or is it more the type of panel ....ie MVA ? and would IPS be a better option ?

Yeah but unless you have a super insane PC with triple TitanXs etc, what modern FPS games are going to give you high constant high FPS at said resolution anyway? For me, I don't really see the point in 200Hz 4k or thereabouts screens as I'm not sure what is going to utilise them? Unless you're playing UT'99 or games on lowest settings and all you care about is high res and FPS.

Already made a thread about it.

https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/scaling-versus-native-freesync-question.18772435/

I may buy a 1440P but only have ATI 480, so would have to play at lower res, but at least it'll look good when I drop back into Windows. I don't have a monster PC but I don't want to use a crappy PPI monitor just to get acceptable FPS.

When I bought my 24" 1200, it was bit of a struggle with games, however after a couple of years 1200 was a norm, so it was better getting a higher res screen, rather than saving money ie buying a 27" 1080p.

Probably better to make do with lower fps/lower detail in games until faster gpus come out and new "HD" is the normal res to play at. Or just settle for non native gaming.

What resolution was/is the 27" BenQ? But yes, the poor responsiveness is down to the panel. There are some much stronger VA models out there (i.e. the new 100Hz 3440 x 1440 UltraWides) but they come at quite a premium. These lower resolution (2560 x 1080) VA UltraWides mislead many users with their nice high refresh rates, but the pixel responsiveness is simply lacklustre and they're unable to put in a convincing performance at such refresh rates. If you want the combination of good refresh rate, 2560 x 1080 resolution and FreeSync then the LG 34UC79G is worth considering instead.
 
Well although I run both @1920x1080 , in games I run @2560x1440 ( ROG Swift )via DSR and get around 120 - 150fps ( game depending).

yeah I did give that LG a look this morning, being as it's IPS as well
