Ultrawide.

I have been looking up Ultrawide monitors recently and I really fancy switching to one but I don’t know much about monitors.
I don’t know what I have to take into consideration before buying one.
Any recommendations would be helpful.

System
i5 7500
1070ti

Is there anything else in my build you would need to know about before picking a monitor?
I currently have a freesync monitor at the moment. 27” quite like the size so something around that would be good.
Would I be able to run higher than 1920? Also like the look of the LG’s are they good?

Like the LG 29UM68 29 inch

As I said Any help would be great thanks

I'm running an X34 at 3440x1440 with a 1070 @ 100Hz and it works really well, so your 1070 Ti will be fine as long as your CPU is up to it.

My current monitor is running 144Hz pretty smooth so does less Hz make more room for higher pixels?

Generally, yes.

I have been looking at this model

LG 29WK600-W OcUK has it on offer at the moment but seen there’s a -P version as well can anyone tell my the difference! Except the £10 on top?
