Monitor uprade options?

Hi,

I've recently sold my older ultrawide and narrowed the upgrade options to:

Iiyama G-Master GB3461WQSU-B1 144Hz IPS

Dell S2721DGF 165Hz IPS

Samsung Odyssey G7 32" 240Hz VA

I really like the ultrawide gaming experience for single player games and would prefer that aspect ratio. Although 16:9 options may be alright if the panel quality/QC is much better. Any advice would be appreciated.

Just noticed the iiyama ultrawide came back in stock and went for that.

Just a heads up that the iiyama is a flat not curved screen. not sure that bothers you.

Not to throw water in your excitement. In my experience it was a great monitor and exceptional for its price but myhmy unit had issues and had to RMA it

Oh damn, that's a shame! Hopefully this got fixed in a later batch. If not I'll look into other options then.

My previous one was flat, so that shouldn't be an issue.

It wasn't a great deal of an issue tbh. You could just turn the monitor off and then back on and it went away. But still shouldn't be happening on a brand new monitor.
