Stuck, can't seem to make my mind up :rolleyes:

The Samsung for pure lushness!

The LG for better frames etc.

Which would you pick?

I have considered g-sync, but not really noticed stuttering or screen tear enough up to now for it to be a must.

I went for the Samsung

Better contrast, no backlight bleed or ips glow.

Cheers Ivan,

I have a Samsung TV (ks7500) for the PS4 which is very nice, so sorta leaning that way, only slight niggle is the 980ti with that resolution.

IvanDobskey · 11 Sep 2017 at 19:01

I have a 1070 which is similar performance to a 980ti and it does very well at 3440x1440.

golfnut · 11 Sep 2017 at 19:26

Good news, ta for the info Ivan.

IvanDobskey · 11 Sep 2017 at 20:10

No problem, let me know if you want to know anything else before making a decision

You haven't lived until you've used adaptive sync. I love my 144Hz Gsync monitor and I'm not going back to 60Hz prison.

golfnut · 11 Sep 2017 at 20:23

Will do & thanks

If you generally buy nVidia cards then going Gsync is def the option you need to look at (the AOC 35" for instance is good value). But I gotta say, that LG is a bloody good price and a good fit for your cards performance level

IvanDobskey · 11 Sep 2017 at 20:52

The LG certainly is a good price if you can put up with backlight bleed and ips glow.

Problem with gsync monitors is the price, it's about a £300 premium

I know it's not cheap, BUT you also have to factor in how much longer he'd get out of his current/any gfx card. Could get another year+ easily before having to change, which would be a saving in itself (esp the price of decent gfx cards now!)

If you keep your current card then you won't be forking out more for a new one indeed so get a Gsync monitor even though they are expensive.

They are worth it imo.

sprinkles, I've had a few Gsync monitors in the old OC basket only to remove 'em! Honestly don't know what stops me pulling the trigger, dagnabbit :rolleyes:

Jedi, think that's the one (AOC) with the big old stand that pushes it too far forward on my skinny desk. Thanks but I ruled that one out. The LG sure is tempting price wise, There's the possibility of a tinge of regret, It not being a much of a step up from what I'm using now.

It's something that'll last you 5/6 years+, be sure it's something that really excites you :cool:

Wise, rethink, mull over, scratch head, here I go again

Deep down I know you're right! You've seen it first hand I've not.

Think I could go with this, Best of both worlds... ish, Gsync & super wide.

IvanDobskey · 11 Sep 2017 at 21:33

Lot of money for a 1080p screen though

Davanius · 11 Sep 2017 at 21:36

The LG still has £100 off doesn't it?

Consider selling your 980ti if you get the monitor and you like it and by a vega card.

Even a rx 580 will run that monitor very well. I should know as I had both.

How does that sound?

That's an idea Davanius, but going through the old auction site rigmarole does my sweed! Cheers for taking the time though.

IvanDobskey · 11 Sep 2017 at 22:11

I'd say the LG with the discount code is the best value if you can put up with a bit of backlight bleed and ips glow which you will get on any ips screen.

But of course no gsync.

I think the x34 can be had for around 800 though? Which is gsync and 1440p.
