I've had an Acer Predator X34 100Hz Gsync monitor for some time now.
There are no issues with it at all but guessing an OLED with higher refresh rate would look nicer and be more responsive.

I dont play many games, mainly desktop work, browsing and Discord but do play Warzone usually once a day with friends and occasionally try out other games like Bodycam.
Graphics card being used in an Aorus Master 4090 and have been using the desktop and gaming at 3440 x 1440, 100hz with Gsync always enabled.

Would something like this be much better or hold out until OLED has improved (not sure if screen burn is still a thing on OLEDs)

Read up on WD-OLED and WO-OLED
 
I have this monitor and it is unbelievably good. Image quality and responsiveness are fantastic. I was shocked at how much better it is than my old Samsung VA ultrawide 100hz.

As for burn in, there are functions to help reduce the chance of it happening, but you do have to be a little careful. I have a live wallpaper, auto hide the taskbar and have my desktop icons in a hidden folder.

Which one, the AOC or the Alienware? Thanks
 
I have the Alienware. Well, actually, the F version which is the Freesync. You may be please to know it works perfectly with an NVIDIA card.

It's a brilliant monitor. Play a good HD game on it, and it's just stunning.

So far (about two years) I have no signs of burn-in, but then I'm in a North facing room which isn't all that bright, so my brightness setting is probably lower than most people. But then the Alienware has a 3 year warranty.

Yes, it's so smooth and responsive, you don't really need to same sort of frame rates with a different type of monitor.

The only thing is that I needed to install MacType, which is a app to fix the sub-pixel text fringing that occurs with it. I think I talked about that in some other post on the forum and gave the necessary configuration for the Alienware.
