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 ? .

I read a review (can't find it now) where it said you need to enable the highest overdrive setting to reduce or solve that issue, did you do that? Still very tempted by this...

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

The first Freesync ultrawide I got was the 35" 144hz Acer monitor which was a 2560x1080 VA panel, Even though I was coming from a 27" 60hz 1080p monitor the 2560x1080 ultrawide did not look great because of the resolution so I moved to a 34" 75hz 3440x1440 monitor and it's a lot better, If AMD had of supported ultrawide VSR I would have probably made do but they don't and as a non competitive gamer I'm a lot happier with the higher res lower hertz monitor.

I'm running my 3440x1440 monitor with a single Fury Tri-x and have been pleasantly surprised by how well it does at this resolution, Some games have no problem staying beyond 60hz and everything else has simply needed the balance found via the graphics settings and to my eyes even the most demanding games have me struggling to tell the difference after a few settings tweaks.
 
Yeah I think I'm gonna be looking at maybe a 34/35" 3440x1440 Ultrawide , see what I can find , as I want G-Sync too :)

See what the in house banker has to say about it :D

So if you had the choice of the following which would you go for?

29" Ultra wide, 2560x1080, 75hz. 40-75hz freesync range
34" Ultra wide, 2560x1080, 144hz. 50-144hz freesync range
34" Ultra wide, 3440x1440, 75hz. 55-75hz freesync range

If I had to choose from one of these only I'd go for the 50-144hz 1080 model.
But in the real world there's no reason why I'd have too choose from one of these and although 3440x1440 would be my preferred resolution
a 55-75 hz working range is too small especially without LFC for when framerates go under 55.
That said it's hard to say without actually trying them out, There's other issues such as light bleed on IPS panels to take into account.
The bleed on the Asus Dominator I bought was terrible and along with how poor the working range I sent it back.
The 2560x1440 VA panel did not have bad light bleed but the resolution let it down so that got that sent back.
Then I had a stroke of good luck and found that a member here had put his Acer x34 on the members market ,
I grabbed it at it's asking price simply because I was able to ask questions about the monitors bleed and age first and there's nothing
better than hands on user info. I felt I could trust the OCUK member in question as he seemed genuine and had a good trust record,
It turned out to be the right call.
Sorry for going off topic,

Having briefly owned this 2560x1080 monitor: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/acer...n-superwide-curved-led-monitor-mo-092-ac.html

and now owning this 3440x1440 monitor or something very similar: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/acer...tra-wide-led-zeroframe-monitor-mo-11d-ac.html

The second monitor won hands down.

The resolution won't be an issue for a lot of people and if you are one of them the important thing to do is find a monitor with good Freesync stats ie: a 30-35 hz starting range and LFC support.
I think they are the most important features for a monitor that's going to be used for lot of gaming.
 
In terms of resolution/sharpness, the 34/35" 2560x1080 shouldn't have looked any worse than your previous 27" 1920x1080 screen as the PPI is more or less the same (2PPI less with the 35" screen). I imagine whatever the difference was, it was mainly down to 2 things:

- the sub pixel layout of VA VS your previous IPS/TN screen. VA isn't as smooth as IPS, this is more noticeable on text based stuff
- the anti glare finish, this has a massive impact on image clarity/sharpness (the older VA panels used a heavier/grainier matte finish than the IPS screens [not sure about these new ones though, I think they are better but still not quite as light as the current IPS UW's])

cheers only issue with 34" 1440p screens is low refresh and low freesync range. I suppose very high res & therefore sub part FPS gaming, or using non native then letting it scale up is better in long run as in a while 3440x1440 should become the norm without going insane on dual GPUS's and you'll have the monitor ready for high end gaming, and if you're just using it for windows it'll look great rather making do with low PPI 1080p

If you need higher than a 75hz refresh rate the 144hz models are the best option, That said with monitor development moving as it has over the last few years I imagine we'll soon see 144hz 344x1440 panels with wide Freesync ranges appearing on the market which will be worth waiting for if you can. Personally I'm trying to avoid getting into the habit of buying monitors too often and want my current one to last a good 4 or 5 years which it will unless I decide that some new must have tech is something I must have. :D
