34" Ultrawide Recommendation

[Madeley Wolf]

I have heard the MSI is a fantastic monitor at a very reasonable price.

If you are going to go Triples, dont go above 32inch.

I had a 49 G9 and 2 27G5s odysseys and it never felt right



Changed to 3 x 32 LGs

I have the msi 34" 2k monitor. And I love it, very accurate colors and almost the perfect size for my sim rig.

I play some FPS such as Doom Eternal, BF1, Half-Life 2 based games and primarily my gaming/sim is Assetto Corsa Competizione and Flight Simulator 2020. I have a Next Level Racing F-GT racing rig and for now I will have a table that goes over the rig to have the monitor in the same spot that the monitor stand from NLR would go.



PC specs:



i7700k

16gb G.Skill Flare X 3200

Gigabyte Z270 motherboard

Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super



Budget: $500 (including tax unless there is a monitor right at the $500 mark that's worth it). I would love to have a 43" or a 49" ultrawide but they are out of budget (unless you can convince me otherwise for another $200 or so added on)



Want: At least a 34" ultrawide QHD monitor (preferably curved). Ideally 100hz+ on the display and it must be at 1440 resolution. I will be using Display Port to connect to it. I don't care about built in speakers since I use a Hyper-X headset or my Logitech Z623 speakers with a Creative soundcard. I do not play eSports or play competitively. Just want more real estate and good performance for my racing/flight sims.





The models I did look at so far have been these:



34"

AOC CU34G2X (144hz, curved, 1ms - but online reviews say it's realistically 4ms) $430
Asus VP348QGL (75hz, flat, 4ms) $450
MSI MAG341CQ (100hz, curved, 8ms GTG) $460 was $40 at microcenter for July/Aug
Samsung S34J550WQN (75hz, flat, 4ms) $430 was $380 at microcenter for July/Aug
LG 34WN750-B (75hz, flat, 5ms) $500
43"

- Samsung C43J890 (120hz, flat, 5ms) $750
