Ultra Wide Acer Alternative

[pupsta8910]

As per title after recent problems with acer x34 monitor, i am looking to buy a ultra wide monitor to go with my new system (to be) with the 1080 card.

Really cant afford 1k on the new acer replacement model

What is the next best thing but a tad cheaper. Samsung do any good ultra wide?

So you are aware, almost all Ultra-wide panels (21:9) come out of the LG factory

Its all then about what spec, inputs, extra bits etc etc that you want to have

More than happy to advise but obviously would be LG orientated

Cheers Dan, Inputs, well all i want is a 1080 Pascal card plugged in to play my game so all the whistles and features im not too bothered about just purely Desktop > Monitor to play a game.

The Acer looks nice but i cant go up to 1k. So was looking around 600-700 or obviously cheaper if doable. 34" would be nice, but can be smaller.

well, this is our cheapest 34" 3440x1440 panel, take a look and see if this looks like it will work for you;

although OCUk have this listed as curved but it is 100% not

You're aware they all basically use the same panel yes? You don't state what your problem was but if it was "scanlines" then thats due to the Gsync module, if its IPS glow or BLB then you're unlikely to find much difference between the various models either.

I currently dont own a monitor / setup so no problems for me here, I just cant afford 1k on a monitor so was looking at cheaper alternatives. Perhaps my opening statement was not worded correctly so hands up, but doing my research the x34 has been recalled and a new x34a is now out. There was a deal for the x34 cheaper but now gone.

Dan thanks for this i will take alook, is there a good "curved" monitor as an alternative i was kind of looking at the curved screens if being honest.

Thats freesync, Plz correct me for being a N00b but wouldnt i want a GYsnc monitor as i will have an nvidia 1080 card?

you won't get an ultrawide 1440p gsync monitor without paying x34 prices.

you would need to get a 1080p monitor to get the cost down to 6-700

Ok understand. Perhaps i need to suck it up and save a little more then as its only 200-300 more.

Are you set for a gsync monitor ? Otherwise the S34E790C 34" 3440x1440 VA WideScreen Super-Wide Curved is a good screen, have one myself and loving it. Although, some might be put off it being a VA monitor but personally I can't notice any difference between it and a ISP monitor.

Personally I wouldn't consider 21:9 1440 without Freesync/G-Sync, even with a 1080. It really is worth it IMO.

 

[Daniel - LG]

if you need G-sync then save the extra money up! lol

if you don't need it the LG curved alternative for the screen I gave you would be https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lg-3...-super-wide-curved-led-monitor-mo-144-lg.html

Or you could get an AMD card and spend £599 on the X34 freesync version. We'll see what the AMD equivalent of the Nvidia 1080 will be soon enough although my Fury X allows me to play everything on ultra with that monitor...

Yeah do save up abit more and grab one with gsync. I moved from the LG34UC97-S a gorgeous panel in itself I was using for a year. Jumped to the Asus PG348Q which is essentially the Acer x34 in a different wrapper but for gaming G-Sync and 100hz are well worth the premium. With a 1080 it should feel pretty epic of a combination.

The smoothness is amazing.
