***21.9 Ultrawide Thread***

Hello all, thought I would ask in here being a UW thread.

I'm looking to get my first UW monitor for gaming, want 3440x1440 and preferably IPS as I currently use a LG 27GL750b.

I see most monitors are VA, are these still worth considering? I have up to £750 for a monitor and that is the absolute MAX
I play mostly Apex and FPS single player games with the occasional RTS.
I see I can currently get the LG 34GN850 for £750, any others to look at?

Thanks

If you want high refresh/fast response then IPS is going to be better - with VA you can get some smearing in fast movement. The trade-offs being reduced contrast and IPS glow.

£750 will get you a nice 34" IPS - that LG seems to be one of the best options around that budget.

That's the number one on my list at the moment, especially being LG and nanoIPS like my current monitor.
