So my thoughts so far, purely based on gaming:
- definetly prefer 21.9, going back to 16.9 just feels like going from 16.9 to 4.3, it is simply less immersive by a long shot, yes you gain in height but it doesn't add anywhere near the same immersiveness as a wider FOV (without fish eye distortion) and wider screen, obviously subjective
- maybe will adapt but I feel like 34" is pretty much the perfect screen size, obviously subjective
- as I found all those years ago with 4k and comparing to my 4k 55, it really does depend on the game how much 4k shines, most older games are meh, it's the newer ones which show more detail, surprsingly horizon forbidden west was one of the better ones even though dldsr in that game offers the least improvement compared to other games. In terms of just IQ, no doubt though: native 4k dlls perf > 1440P dldsr + dlss perf > 1440p dlss quality > native 1440p taa
- 240hz is great! noticeable improvement over 175hz but could start to argue point of diminishing returns
- gaming on some games where I am getting 50-65 fps, the aw34dw handles this better and looks smoother (but I am very sensitive to this, more than most probably), also, personally I notice flickering more in the darker scenarios and low fps in cp2077 compared to the aw34dw so gsync module does seem to pay of in this respect, when at 70-80+ fps, don't notice a difference though
- panel itself in terms of colours etc. is good but not a very noticeable upgrade over the dw imo
Obviously photos won't do it justice but none the less!
Also, just for @TNA
As mrk noted, performance is actually better on native 4k with dlss perf than using dldsr 1.78x and dlss performance.
So I'll give it another few days to see if I can re-adapt to 16.9 but so far, imo, if you had/have a aw34dw and like 21.9, I probably wouldn't bother but if you don't care for that then yeah, it's a great monitor.
