Spec me a monitor, does this exist?

JamesM · 7 Sep 2017 at 19:52

Toying with the idea of selling my Rift and putting what I get towards a new monitor however i'm after something which has the following:-

75Hz+ with 100Hz/120Hz being ideal (which I guess rules out 4k)
Superwide and curved ideally
USB hub with at least 2 ports (mouse + keyboard)
USB-C input with the idea of coming home from work, plugging my Macbook Pro into it and bingo, Macbook charges whilst I can sit back and use my mouse and keyboard in OSX to continue doing my work.

Not fussed about G-Sync or V-Sync and price would ideally be below £500

Anything out there like that exist yet? I've had a look and can't really find anything.

Don't think you'll get 120Hz and Ultrawide for less than £500.

I can find the following:

ViewSonic VP2785-4K 120Hz
Acer Predator X27 G-Sync HDR 4K 144Hz
Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ 4K 144 Hz HDR DCI-P3 G-Sync

All of those will be about £1500?

Oh, and the Acer XR382CQK 4K 75Hz for over 1000 EUR too.

I don't know the pricing. If it's steep, why not leasing, maybe.

Yes I could finance it but really don't want too.#

Kids and a wife, I have to be at least a tiny bit sensible

Got two USB 3.0 (it looks like from pics) but missing the USB type C requirement you listed. If you can find an alternative for that (would a HDMI-to-USB type C adapter work for this perhaps? I don't know), this is one to consider:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x LG 34UC79G 34" 2560x1080 IPS FREESYNC 144Hz Curved Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor - Black/Red= £488.99
1 x Voucher= £-100.00

Total: £388.99
(includes shipping: £0.00)

Code: LG100

LG 34UC99 has USB-C, will do 75Hz, is curved ultrawide, albeit the usb hub is the letdown - you can pick this up for circa £750

KOREAN MONITOR!

Hmm, I'm also looking for one but would prefer 1080p 144Hz - 240Hz? 10bit, built in LUT, IPS...

Looks like I'll have to go down to the two monitor route. There is none that is what I'm after unless seperate categories.

First I've ordered for design work. Eizo CG2730. Should be here between 21 - 30th.

The other for gaming looks like it might be the Benq 240Hz or the Asus G-Sync 240Hz. Not decided on that yet. Though I'm looking more towards the Asus...
