1440p 144hz ultrawide recommendation

LiamRobertson · 30 Dec 2019 at 11:45

I am looking to upgrade my old
LG 34UM95-P 34" superwide curved (3440x1440) 60hz monitor to one of the same resolution but 144hz.
Being 5 years now since I built my last system and bought the monitor I currently have, I am quite a bit out of the loop and would really appreciate and guidance/recommendations you may have.
Thanks in advance.

What kind of price range you looking at? Also do you need Freesynce, G sync or both from the monitor?

I'll be using a gtx 1080ti for the new monitor so gsync (if that's correct). Could possibly squeeze up to a grand but would obviously like a deal or save some back for other upgrades if possible.

Don't worry about getting 144 Hz specifically unless you're an elite gamer. Anything 100 Hz or over is good.

Wouldn't say I was an elite gamer by any standards but I do like to mix between pvp/pve on the fps games I play so 144hz would be ideal (so I have been led to believe).

Hi

Currently running a Dell Alienware AW3418DW here which is IPS 120HZ and G-Sync and its fantastic and around the £850 mark currently.

Another alternative would be the LG 34GK950G.

Thanks for the recommendations

LG 34GK950G or the F version are both great for your needs

The F would give you the option between using either AMD or nVidia cards though as Freesync works on both (and is proper 144hz)

Thanks for this- I had actually looked at the G version but didnt know the F version was available and with a higher refresh. That's very appealing
