Hi all, would welcome some advice on my next monitor upgrade. I currently have a BenQ 2420XL for a little over two years and would like to move on to
something better. I have a pretty broad taste in games, but do like the combination of racing sims and 3D Vision. I've narrowed down my options to three possibilities:
1) Get another two BenQ monitors for a 3D vision surround setup, presuming both would need to be 120Hz and not 144Hz to match the existing one. However, this option is costly (500 pounds or so) and investing this amount in two year old tech might not be so wise? Also I'm not sure how convenient it is to switch monitor configuration for different games - will it turn out to be a pain in the ass? Current GPU is a single 770, so I would probably get another and run it in SLI.
2) Second option is again to keep my existing monitor but this time as a secondary monitor (for 3D Vision) and to get a non-3D 29" ultra wide screen monitor such as this one.
Am I right in thinking this looks like a good option to rival the peripheral vision offered by two additional surround monitors?
Downside is having to physically move monitors around when I want some 3D vision gaming (I use trackIR and tend to perch the camera on the monitor).
3) Third option is to sell my BenQ and make do with one large 27" 3D Vision/GSync monitor. I think a 27" monitor needs a bit more res than 1080p, so the Asus Swift Rog looks to be the only option here. The steep price makes the investment difficult to justify and it might not offer the immersion of an ultra wide setup.
I'm favouring option 2 at present - comments welcome!
