Hi all I hope some one can help me out, I'm looking for a new wide-screen monitor but can't make up my mind as to which one I should get, I'm between three ATM lol the :- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-063-AS&groupid=17&catid=2898 and http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-099-BQ&groupid=17&catid=2898 and this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-107-LG&groupid=17&catid=2898I want the monitor primarily for gaming (sim racing on PC and also xbone and a little fps) so contrast ratio are important and also the resolution is important.
But a lot of the monitors that I have had in the past have looked really dark when connected to the xbone so I would like to avoid this if I can.
I'm running an eyefinity set up at the minute with three 17" dells but when I switch to the xbone I can only use the middle monitor and this is just too small (I don't have space for 3 bigger monitors) and when I try to use a bigger middle monitor it is terrible in eyefinity as the middle monitor and side monitors are all different and look a mess (probably my ocd coming into play lol)
I hope some of you monitor guru's can point me in the right direction

For the price of the BenQ you could buy an LG 34UM65 - that's the 2560x1080 one, not the full 3440x1440 (34UM95).

I have the UM65 and love it. My main use is racing games and football manager and the amount of stuff that fits on the screen is excellent.

The Field of View for games like Grid/Dirt/F1 is astonishing.

If you're set on the ones you linked I would go BenQ 32 before the Asus 29 - the 29 inch super wides can be deceptively small, they have the same vertical height as a 23 inch 16:9 monitor.
