Please gimme some help on a new monitor.

Hi guys,
I currently have an old Samsung Syncmaster 2693HM monitor. I am looking to upgrade it to either a 34" or 40".
The problem I have is this: I do not like these new Ultra Wide screens. I have looked on Overclockers and (cough Scan cough) but the monitors seem to be long and thin where I am used to a more square screen.

I have looked at these 2 monitors:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phil...z-widescreen-led-monitor-black-mo-022-ph.html

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/iiya...z-widescreen-led-monitor-black-mo-130-iy.html

But without seeing them in the flesh I cannot tell if these 2 are the newer long Ultra Wide thin screens.

I would also consider a good 34 inch.

Does anyone have any ideas on a good monitor that is not Ultra Wide with a budget of no more than £600? Graphics card is an EVGA Superclocked GTX 970.

Many Thanks

Paul

Those are just normal 16:9 widescreen monitors. It sounds like you want to be avoiding screens that are 3840x1440 or 2560x1080 as those are the ultra wide screens.

edit: A 970 really isn't going to cut it at 4k if you like playing the newest games. You really should research how well your preferred games perform before pulling the trigger.

Thanks for that, I just joined forum and was not aware, apologies Admins.
