Hi all,
I am looking to buy a nice new Ultrawide monitor primarily for gaming, and having done some initial research there appear to be a multitude of different factors and articles each with different recommendations for “the best ultrawide monitor”. I do not have an immediate need to buy one so am happy to wait 2-3 months if an amazing option is on the horizon, but as always could wait for the next best thing (already been mulling this over for a year or so) and never end up buying. Therefore thought I should just bite the bullet…
What Ultrawide monitors do you guys recommend at the moment, or very near future? Not looking to spend over the odds - but want something that will remain ‘current’ for a decent period before I have to upgrade. I’ve listed some requirements below…most of the games I play are FPS, RTS, Simulations (i.e. Destiny 2, Fortnite, Frostpunk, Surviving Mars, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, etc.). Looking for the best picture quality for my 1080GTX, and will likely upgrade to a better card (i.e. 2080+) / processor end of next year.
Requirements (in priority order):
Any recommendations or insight would be appreciated!

Requirements (in priority order):
- 34/35” Ultrawide (IPS Panel?)
- HDR support
- 100hz+
- G-Sync (Is this even worth it?)
- Slim stand (will be on a narrow-is desk, but happy to change desk if needed for the right monitor!)
- USB-C Connectivity (low priority, but would be good to use my MacBook with it)
- Speakers
Any recommendations or insight would be appreciated!
