Is there an alternative to IIyama GB3461WQSU-B1 34" 3440X1440 IPS 144HZ 1MS HDR FREESYNC ULTRAWIDE?

Want a wide 34 with both IPS and 120Hz+. I would take IIyama without hesitation but I've seen a review that says it has a large (over 20ms) input lag which is somewhat undesirable for shooters.

Are there any alternatives in comparable price range at all?

Im running that monitor and like to game.. Mostly csgo/valorant and haven't noticed any input lag issues.

In fact of all the UW's I have (I have 3x 34" UW monitors) the iiyama is easily the best.

Thanks for your input! I never used an UW before. Do you feel like you gain a lot by adding a curve to a uw?

I went from 3x 24" to a single 4k then to a single UW, for me UW is the sweet spot for both gaming and work, ive also had curved for the last 3 monitors and love the curve as well. Not great for photo work imo but fine for everything esle - I wouldn't go back now. Ive been through a lot of UW monitors to find a good one though. Had the MSI, A couple of Samsung Quantum Dots and finally settled on the iiyama....

I am just trying to figure out if I must go for curved or if it doesn't matter that much.
Most of curved in this budget with 144hz are VA though.

Does IIyama has HDMI 2.1 / dp?

I use it with DP 1.4. I have no idea on it's hdmi spec and it also isn't listed on tech spec page. Any way I can find out?

Probably doesn't matter my 2070 got a dp1.4 so should be fine. Guess I ll sac curvature for IPS then..

That is an issue down to the method of testing, another site addressed this:

Input lag
We had some problems doing the Leo Bodnar test on the Iiyama GB3461WQSU-B1 properly, presumably because this test can only be run at Full HD resolution on this monitor. This results in a considerable delay in this test. However, a comparison with our CRT monitor shows no significant input lag.

Not really any other monitors that can compare to this on a price point except maybe the aoc, acer and gigabyte ones which use the same panel but they don't seem to be as good for pixel response etc.

Those are curved VA ones, and while Iiyama does one of those too, I believe what's being talked about here is the flat IPS one, so a different panel, no?

Nope, acer, aoc defo have one with exactly the same panel. Maybe not gigabyte although 98% sure there is....
