Now that I have all my new kit it's time to replace my monitor.

My primary gaming is Blizzard titles (WoW, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2) and not to heavy games like XCom 2 etc.

My GPU is the Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 (moving ideally to Navi later in the year if needed). Have to use AMD due to work (long story).

I am not chasing the highest refresh rate as am not playing FPS.

I am wanting the following for definite:

3440x1440 minimum Ultrawide
2 Year Warranty

I strongly feel I need (but may not be deal breaker):
Picture By Picture
Greater than 60Hz Refresh
Freesync

Nice to haves:
Thunderbolt 3/USB-C (for my MacBook)
USB 3/3.1 Hub
Vesa Mount

I have been going around in circles looking at the following monitors:
New LG34F950 at £1149
Dell Ultrawide 3415W at £320
Benq 3501R (which seems to have a lot of good Youtube reviews) at £640 - no mention in this forum either way
LG 34UC99 at £700 ticks a lot of boxes
Samsung 34H890 at £580
Samsung 34F791 at £680
Alienware AW318DW at £970 G-Sync though
Asus ROG Strix XG35VQ at £770

It's a minefield so anyone have any experience / strong views on this as either "Yes Neil buy this" or "No Neil definitely avoid that one"? Any I missed?

Many thanks Neil.
 
I ended up buying the Alienware. Didn't tick all my boxes but Dell had a flash sale and my Daughter had a Uni Discount on top :eek::D
