Are you saying that the Acer ultrawide does have AMD freesync?

diont think that ACER ultrawide does , most are 100hz

So I decided on the Acer 35” super wide. Whilst the picture.quality seems very good I have noticed quite a bit of motion blur. It is quite bad when moving the camera in games. I am going to return and change for something else. Either the MSI MAG321CQR or ASUS XG32VQ any suggestions? The MSI claims 1ms but not sure if that is accurate and as said before, not sure if either works with FreeSync (I have NVIDIA card). The MSI is newer model and cheaper but could do with some guidance i possible.

MSI will work with G-sync , just not officially yet. Google and you'll find MSI testing list.
Not sure about Asus, believe this use different panels

Yeh read a few people maybe having issues with getting it to work.
I have seen some reviews of the Asus and mostly good. The MSI is new so not much info on that

So I have sent my 35 inch ultrawide back. Still looking at the ASUS.....

But taking advice have also seen this 27 inch which looks very good

I don’t play many FPS really, more of a casual hence wanting the 32 inch but would the predator be much better quality?

Thanks!

After looking into the MSI, I have decided against it due to the depth of the stand, its huge!

I have found two Acer Predator monitors, both 27" with G-Sync but one is IPS and the other VA, the latter being 1ms response. Anybody had any experience with these? Would an IPS be better option for non-competitive gaming?

Having never used an IPS before, I have read about the IPS "glare", how bad is it?

The two I am looking at are.....

??? Actually need to overclock mine and see how it gets on

Would go with the IPS over TN if your not doing eSports

How about ips over a VA panel? I have noticed that the predator IPS I’m looking at has 1billion colours compared to VA panel which have 1.6. Does that make a massive difference?

normally they should have same colour count due to being 8+2 bit panels . True 10bit panels are more but only work with workstation cards

lot of people get VA panels as the in-between

It is as bad as IPS cannot produce true black. VA is better with much deeper blacks.
