For that much you might as well check out some ultra-wide monitors.

Dell U3415W for $780 and Acer X34 for $1,300 but if you look around I'm sure you can find some deals or sales. Also check out /r/ultrawidemasterrace

Re Monitors: I have two of these.

u/Metroidam11 · 8 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace

Here is the amazon link for those at work.

Anyone here own this monitor? My company has a partnership with Dell so I could pick one up for $560 for personal use. Only thing holding me back is the 60Hz refresh rate. Anyone have a problem with this or notice it a lot during games? I'm a light "gamer" but I could afford a Gsync ultrawide from Asus or Acer. Just not sure if its worth twice the price.

I decided it was time to get my home office in order. The desk needed to be big enough to accommodate my day-job laptop as well as my laptop that I use for my photography business. It also had to be small enough to fit in my master bedroom.

Inspired by the minimalist setup by /u/hazzid (https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/comments/4iyjjw/new_house_new_setup_let_me_know_what_you_think_my/), I got to work.

I also use one of these at work, it is a Dell U3415W.

u/chacalover · 5 pointsr/buildapcsales

The post from yesterday was for the same model, although if I recall correctly, the coupon was only valid for a few models of displays and the U3415W was not one of them. So currently, this is a good deal compared to the price on Dell's web site.

And for those that prefer Amazon, they currently have the same model for $757.88.

u/Spacechicken82 · 5 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace

I would think that the LG 34UC88-B which has been coming down in price lately would be a good mix between style, gaming, and general media consumption. I owned one for about 6 months and always got compliments on it when friends and guests came over.

It can be overclocked to 75hz and if you get a newer RX 470/480 video card you will be able to utilize the Freesync technology quite well with it. I drank the team green kool-aid so I ended up trading out for the ASUS PG348Q monitor for Christmas. It can be found for the mid-to-high $600's if you're patient. They're currently $799 on Amazon or BHPhotoVideo(tax free outside NY).

Other popular choices in this range would be:

u/TheRealSplinter · 4 pointsr/MusicBattlestations

One option is the new 21:9 aspect ratio monitors that are popping up. They're so wide it is almost like having 2 monitors next to each other with the benefit of having no bezel down the center of the display.

For example, Dell just released a curved 34" 21:9 IPS monitor that has a resolution of 3440x1440. That's the same vertical resolution as your thunderbolt display, more vertical space than 24" 1080p monitors will give you (1080 vs 1440), and almost the the as much horizontal resolution of 2 1080p monitors (3840 vs 3440 for this). Total, it has more pixels than 2 1080p displays. Also, with Dell's adjustable stand, you can get it lower than your thunderbolt display (16.09" vs 19.35").

Amazon currently has it for $990, so it's considerably more money than the $600 you're looking to spend, but it may be worth considering if you really care about symmetry and don't want to lose the vertical space of going from your 1440p thunderbolt display to 2 1080p 24"ers.

u/sking09 · 3 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace

That would be incorrect. It only fell to $629 once in October and averaged around $730 from Amazon in 2016. So it is a decent deal, especially considering there aren't many other 34in 1440p ultrawides in this price range.

u/acmecorps · 3 pointsr/buildapcsales

This or the Dell U3415W?

u/4InchesOfury · 3 pointsr/simracing

Seems like you've already had some clear answers but thought I'd chime in. I use a Dell U3415W along with a few monitors next to it (only use the Ultrawide for gaming).

If this rig is for a cockpit dedicated to simracing, go with 3 1080p monitors. If this is for general use, go with 1440p ultrawide.

u/mellovibes75 · 3 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace

The Dell u3415w. It is 34" of 3440x1440 resolution which is perfect for productivity. If the price is a little steep for you fear not, it goes on sale occasionally or you can find a refurbished one in the neighborhood of $450-$600 when they show up. Not to mention the bezel on the Dell is ever so sleek.

Since you aren't doing demanding gaming then there is no need to spend hundreds more on the Acer x34 or LG panels with freesync/g-sync.

u/djsdotcom · 3 pointsr/hackintosh

Hey there, a couple answers:

I've been using Photoshop and Illustrator CC without any hitches for a few weeks now on my new Hackintosh. Didn't have to do anything special to get them to run at all, just logged into my CC account once the Hack was up and running and downloaded everything that was needed.

I have a GTX 950 and a U3415 (https://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-34-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00PXYRMPE) that work perfectly in my setup. I have the latest Nvidia drivers for it but that's a given, you're going to have to do that for your GPU no matter what monitor you select. I have it connected over a full-size DisplayLink cable and it pushes it at 60hz which is perfect and what I wanted. Your card is beefier than mine so I can't imagine any issues as long as you get the right drivers for it. BTW if you drive the monitor over HDMI it won't go faster than 30hz which is pretty annoying, you gotta get the DisplayLink cable for maximum throughput and refresh rate.

Obviously you chose to have some spinning hard drives for a reason, so take this advice with a grain of salt, but you could obviously save some money by ditching them and perhaps going with a larger SSD.

I recently wrote about my build here... doesn't get into the technical details much, but let me know if I can answer any more questions about it. I'm using it for iOS design & development so we probably have similar needs.

u/Du6e · 3 pointsr/buildapcforme

How does this work for you?

I went with a fast/powerful/silent editing/gaming rig with triple 1440p displays.

u/Flintfall · 3 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace

Ultrawides are still pretty pricey at the moment, but for your criteria I think that the LG 34UM95C is your best bet for the budget.

I will say that 75hz is awesome, freesync is incredible for gaming, and the curved-ness of the panel not only adds immersion but really lets me see everything easier (especially for Audacity). None of those features are needed though, the UM95C will do you fine.

At a slightly higher pricepoint, the curvier Dell Ultrasharp

u/Staple_Overlord · 3 pointsr/minnesotavikings

So I bought this monitor today. MRSP is $1000, most carry it at $800-$900. I bought it for $670 including shipping from NCIX (it's now back up to $900 but the promo price is still available if you need a link that includes it). It was hella expensive, but I've been wanting one of these monitors for quite a while. I plan on using all that sexy horizontal screen real estate for a ton of productivity purposes. Three word docs side-by-side-by-side? No problem! Need Excel to make A-Z all visible at the same time? Can do! Wanna share SolidWorks or other CAD software with a spec sheet also on the screen? It's perfect for that!

I am a little apprehensive about a couple of things. For one, I could have gotten a curved monitor from Dell for $700. But I'm a bit apprehensive about how the curve with affect straight lines while working in CAD, as well as how backlight bleed would come through. A curved screen sounds super cool, but I don't think a flat screen will be a problem, even though the screen is so wide.

I at least appreciate the thunderbolt ports. It's not 3.0, just 2.0, but I don't even think that matters for me since my MacBook is a couple years old. Also, it has USB quick charge, which will be heavenly I'm sure. I'm excited. The $670 hurt, but I don't have any financial responsibilities to worry about outside of Netflix and Spotify, lol. So I can spend my money any way I please. I'm on pace to make $2800 more this summer, and my financial aid was bumpin, so yayyy go splurging!

But no, really, I'm done spending money for a while.

u/pyrogeddon · 3 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace

I have 2 Dell U3415Ws that I use with my 5K iMac. They work perfectly great with it as well. I use them for audio editing, Photoshop, Lightroom, and the like.

Let me know if you have any questions about it.

u/gregriegler · 2 pointsr/Monitors

the clamp might be an issue with weight and all, but if you get one that's bolted to the desk, and not just tension screw, you might be better off. I have the Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34-Inch Curved LED-Lit Monitor, it's got good color representation, pretty close if not 1:1 for my 15" MacBook Pro. The newer version has a bit more curve to it than this one that I have. It also has several USB ports - though you have to run a USB line back to the computer of course, the ability to run 2 different inputs into the monitor for a bezel-less split screen. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXYRMPE

I don't have exact experience with that Samsung monitor you referenced, but we do have a few of the nearly same monitor in a 27" standard 1080p resolution and the colors are good, though they are a bit more contrasty.

My set up... messy: https://imgur.com/a/wtTJg8T

u/Frelling_Dren · 2 pointsr/buildmeapc

$1000 for peripherals. I'm assuming $600-700 for the monitor (planning on an ultrawide 1440 and thinking about this Dell: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXYRMPE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 keyboard / mouse, I have no clue but assuming about an extra $200. Thoughts on the monitor? Thank you again!

u/Upstairs_Chris · 2 pointsr/flightsim

I have this monitor, and I absolutely love it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXYRMPE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Xplane 10 and FSX both see the resolution and have settings for it, so no problems there.

I previously had a 27'' 1920x1080 monitor and it was okay. This new one is 3440x1440 and its made a world of difference in all my sims. Can't recommend it enough if you can get it. Do remember that 3440x1440 is a signifincant amount more pixels that 1920x1080. So you'll need a beefy GPU to run it. I personally have a 980TI 6GB.

These other guys advocate these tripple monitor setups and such, and while I am sure that is the fucking tits, money is still an object for me. Also, I do lot of other things and play many other types of games on my PC where a triple monitor wouldn't be so great. So this is what's best for me. However, I used to have a very small 17'' old LCD, the square kind and I used that for the 2d panels like GPS and Comms in FSX and that was perfect.

u/Atlantisman · 2 pointsr/Monitors

I was just eyeing this..... seems like a killer deal, not 120hz, and no gsync but way cheaper! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXYRMPE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

u/smartimp99 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Whoops sorry, totally missed that.

As for what to do? I'd say get a 4k monitor. I recently purchased this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXYRMPE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Best purchase I ever made. It's just incredible. In fact, it's the reason I am building a new PC.

I've put together a list of parts pretty similar to yours actually,
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/sFjYTH

I only ordered these parts today so I haven't put it together. Minus the GPU, which im trying to get a hold of. But I faced a similar decision on if I should SLI 2 cards and I decided against it. A single 1080 should be able to handle 4k gaming fine at the moment.

u/gadaspir · 2 pointsr/gtaonline

Nope just one ultra wide monitor :) it's awesome I highly suggest one if you have the money

u/Revanish · 2 pointsr/macmini

I have this https://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-34-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00PXYRMPE . you can pick them up sub $500.

Also i think the 2012 mac mini can't support resolutions more then 2560x1440

u/Kynewman27 · 2 pointsr/apple

Technically it's not 4K because it's an ultra wide and they don't make them "4K" but it's close it's this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-PXF79-34-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PXYRMPE

It's 3440x1440 but it still looks amazing I'd highly recommend it

u/ThisSideOfTheWorld · 2 pointsr/battlestations
u/donoho · 2 pointsr/ffxiv

4k on a 40-43" should be great.

I played for a 3 months on a Dell Ultra HD 4k Monitor P2715Q 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor (3840 x 2160) and loved it, except for the ^^^^^tiny Quest/Dialogue Text. Even with all UI elements set to 140%, some elements are just too small to be effective at that size screen (e.g. cooldown toolbar).

I've recently switched to a Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34-Inch Curved LED-Lit Monitor (3440 x 1440 Pixels), and although I miss the detail/scale, it makes for a better play experience.

u/letaninjawork · 2 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace

I have the Dell U3415W and a Zotac 1080 Amp Extreme. I can tell you why it is better to go with the 1080 and my experience with it.

First, the Dell U3415W is a fantastic value for the money. An ultrawide for around $650ish, 1440p resolution, great color representation, but the only limiting factor is the 60Hz refresh rate. Not a deal breaker in my opinion.

Now why go with the 1080? Because you might find yourself wanting to add another display or upgrade to a 4K display down the road, or simply because you can. They're not that expensive as they were when launched. I paid $720 for my Zotac GTX 1080 Amp! Extreme Edition from B&H Photo Video as they were out of stock everywhere. Now Amazon has the same card for $550! It's a pretty looking card, cools great, clocked at 2.0Ghz out the box. I have it driving 2 Ultrawides and a 24" in portrait mode. Looks super.

Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34-Inch Curved LED-Lit Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PXYRMPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pGQOBb5JDXQJ3


By default it's 60hz but it can accept custom refresh rate up to 75 and 80

u/Soulshot96 · 2 pointsr/Monitors

Couple options for the 27 inch panel:

Asus MG279Q(IPS Freesync 4ms, 144hz, not as good as the PG, but it's cheaper, and works better with your AMD GPU thanks to freesync): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236466

This Acer(not too pretty imo but 144hz 1ms Freesync and cheap): http://www.amazon.com/Acer-XG270HU-omidpx-FREESYNC-Widescreen/dp/B00VRCLHYS/ref=sr_1_1?tag=amazon0606-20&ie=UTF8&qid=1430272001&sr=8-1&keywords=acer+xg270hu+omidpx

If you really want to save money, there is this Asus monitor(24 inches, 144hz, but TN, and only 1080p): http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VG248QE-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00B2HH7G0/?tag=amazon0606-20

You'll have to look at these monitors for compatibility with Vesa mounts and stuff.

As far as Ultrawides go, that is a bit trickier, you might want to either stretch the budget, or cut into the $600 for the 144hz a bit to get both. I'll post suggestions anyway.

A Dell IPS 1440p ultrawide no freesync though afaik and rather expensive: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-34-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00PXYRMPE?tag=amazon0606-20

Crazy territory here, but this Acer has 75hz, 1440p, ips, freesync and a slick design, but its expensive as hell:
http://www.amazon.com/Acer-XR341CK-bmijpphz-34-inch-UltraWide/dp/B0111MRT90/ref=sr_1_15?tag=amazon0606-20&s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1436945804&sr=1-15&keywords=3440x1440

And a slightly cheaper but still pricey 1440p ips ultrawide from LG:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025066&cm_re=1440p_ultrawide-_-24-025-066-_-Product

Look through, find some you like that both fit into your $1200 overall budget, make sure they would fit on a mount, find a mount, and go.

Check out Windowed Borderless Gaming. It's a small utility that allows you to run any game in a "fake" borderless fullscreen window. I've been using it since I picked up Dell's awesome 34" ultrawide monitor and wanted a way to record in the regular 16:9 aspect ration, not the native 21:9. This has also been a lifesaver for the handful of games that haven't yet optimised for the ultrawide master race. This also lets you do exactly what you're looking to do in a multi-monitor setup.

u/aurorafluxic · 2 pointsr/battlestations

For what it's worth, almost every Dell monitor uses that base stand. Even my ultrawide U3415W. So if you like how solid the stand is, you won't ever be disappointed by the Dell monitor stands.

u/PlanetaryGenocide · 2 pointsr/DIY

This is the one I bought.

There's also ridiculous shit like the Acer Predator that costs north of 1k USD new. My primary reason for getting Dell is that my other two monitors were also Dell and I like consistency.

u/TexTheRex · 2 pointsr/ultrawidemasterrace

> U3415W ~$1230

This monitor is $700 at Amazon right now.

The 3417W has the same panel as the LG I believe, and is $819 on Amazon right now, $778 at Dell.com

Someone please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

u/Merlinix · 2 pointsr/wow

Other option would be the Dell U3415W.

u/Flawe · 2 pointsr/edmproduction

I've been eyeing the Dell U3415W and Dell U3417W for the same purpose. Some people say vertical space is more important though so you may want to consider that too.

u/SilentBobVG · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I'd go for the Dell U3415W

34", 3440x1440 widescreen resolution, curved, IPS, and most importantly incredibly accurate colours.

u/OneBrainArmy · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

$730 For this one without gysnc though. And also, if you have space and an extra HDMI 2.0, you can do a dual maybe triple monitor setup if you have more space and still have your oldy.

u/garrzilla07rs · 1 pointr/ultrawidemasterrace

Based on this Amazon tracker, it went to maybe $700 but yeah I might wait for Black friday sales

u/TravelerHD · 1 pointr/hackintosh

Judging by the dimensions of the photo, looks like a high-end ultrawide. This one from Amazon has the same resolution, but LG and a few others also make similar monitors. They aren't cheap, but they look stunning.

u/shmeely5 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Gotcha thanks. This is my monitor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PXYRMPE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Do you think 1070 is ok, or recommend the 1080?

u/dontlickthefrost · 1 pointr/ultrawidemasterrace

The 16:9 equivelant of this monitor has not dropped in price very much since launch.

On the other hand, the Dell U3415W went from ~$1150 at launch to $800 now.

So.... it's hard to tell.

u/loganchase · 1 pointr/hardwareswap
u/bigangry · 1 pointr/ffxiv

I picked up this sexy beast for $499 during the black friday sale, and it's served me incredibly well for pretty much everything I've played that allows widescreen at 3440x1440. If you've got a beefy graphics card, you can handle really good settings at 60fps in FFXIV.

u/wolf39us · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I have two completely different monitors because I like to do video production AND I'm a gamer.

  • Acer Predator 27" IPS Display
  • Dell U3415W

    The color accuracy is really good on the gaming monitor, but the difference can be seen between the Dell and the Acer. That's not to say that you won't get amazing results on the Acer monitor!

    The BIGGEST difference for my use case is the extra real estate of the ultrawide monitor when working with large videos. That being said it is NOT a gaming monitor and you will be stuck at 60hz (which is where the Predator comes in!)

    If gaming and accuracy are both paramount, get two different monitors and have the best of both worlds.
u/beley · 1 pointr/thinkpad
u/brando_1771 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Oh man so close. I’d seriously recommend this Dell 34” UW. It’s a bit beyond a $1k if you get two but man this monitor is incredible. 99% sRGB, IPS panel, 34” Curved UW at 3440x1440p. Even with only 8bit color depth and 78% AdobeRGB it’s still an absolutely stunning monitor. You get two of those bad boys you’re gonna have more screen real estate than you know what to do with.

Alternatively, if you want something a little smaller that’s more color accurate. This BenQ 27” which again, is beyond budget if you get two sadly. But this monitor is a 27” 1440p IPS, with 10bit color depth, 100% sRGB, and 99% AdobeRGB, this Monitor is remarkable for how cheap it is.

Okay so enough out of budget monitors.

This BenQ 27” is another 1440p IPS. 8bit color depth, 100% sRGB, 79% AdobeRGB great specs for a great price of only $299 each!

Normally I wouldn’t recommend a 4k Monitor that’s so small, but if you’re getting 2 you can probably get by with the small size. This Dell 24” is a 4k IPS, it’s 99% sRGB and 79% AdobeRGB, and because of its small size, it has the lowest ppi of all these monitors. At just $354, it’s a great value as well.

Let me know if you have any questions.

u/SNAPEKILLSDUMBLDORE · 1 pointr/buildapc

Also, is the monitor I have selected worth the money for G-sync and higher than 60 hz? or would I be better off with something like:

u/Jesushoovy · 1 pointr/ultrawidemasterrace

Good looking out man, thanks for that spoiler warning.

Jokes aside, I found this Dell 34" Ultrawide that claims to support swivel. As for portrait mode I agree with milkybuet in that you will need a monitor arm for that. I use the Ergotech HD and Standard for my two monitors (X34 and Dell U2718Q) and they're very premium products for a very fair price. (~$70)

It depends on what you're looking for.

I think for input lag and gaming with low delay, you'll want to look in the 23"-27" gaming monitors. I'd recommend checking out /r/buildapcsales for some deals on monitors.

Personally, I use a Samsung 27" 1080p for my PS4/Xbox: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-27-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor-S27E390H/dp/B00TR05716

I use a 34" curved 1440p monitor for my PC though. This wouldn't benefit a PS4/Xbox One (standard) since they don't support ultrawides or 1440p: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-PXF79-34-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00PXYRMPE

u/DoctorDungus · 1 pointr/buildapc

Also, I've been looking into some super nice curved hd monitors, specifically this one, and I am now very sad to discover that the only hd curved 34 inch monitor that is also 144hz is a crappy BenQ that you can't adjust the height on. I've heard that 144hz is a big difference, but I've never played on one and I seem to do fine. I admit the allure of having even faster reaction times in LoL would be nice, but I really like the look of this snazzy monitor.

u/GunslingerJones · 1 pointr/edmproduction

get 1080p and spend the extra money on an ultrawide monitor like this.

I have one and let me tell you, it fucking rocks. When working on a track in arrangement view with 21:9 aspect ratio I can see at least 50% more on screen at once. It really helps my workflow, and god damn it just looks flat out amazing.

It's a 60hz monitor, but hey, if you want 1440p 144hz ultrawide, you're kinda stuck with an $1100 dollar price tag right now.

Anyone have any experience with 34" curved displays (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-34-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00PXYRMPE )?

Sort of a halfway solution between a normal screen and a full triple monitor setup.

u/RhettMelton · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

I'm working on an x99-Pro/5820k/980Ti build and I've been eyeing both this monitor and, more recently, Dell's IPS Ultrawide U3415w found here: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-34-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00PXYRMPE

Should I save a few hundred bucks and grab two of these PB258Qs or go all in on the U3415w? I'll do very little video editing, but plan to do lots of programming, run multiple VMs, etc., along with light gaming.

u/reboog711 · 1 pointr/Surface

I use a Dell 30 Inch Monitor, but it's older. I'm sure there are more up to date ones.

If I were to buy a new one today, it'd probably be this one.

I use a DisplayPort KVM Switch so I can use the monitor w/ multiple computers.

All that said, if you want something that works flawlessly I'm not sure that is possible w/ the Dock and an External Monitor. Most of the time everything works great w/o issue.

When awaking from any "low power / blank screen" mode, the SurfaceBook screen is often blank. I can use key commands (Windows -P) to blindy switch monitors so it comes back. Or I could unplug the dock and plug it back in to reset it.

There is a 'reset display drivers' shortcut does not have any affect.

I can't really say if the problem is the Surface Book, the Dock, or the KVM switch.

I have gotten into the habit of switching the KVM to another computer and back real quick. This re-enables the main monitor without losing all my window placement.

This problem is recent, within the past two months [despite having got the Surface Book upon release]. Before that, I was having issues with random blinks. There is always something going on.

[But, still the best Windows computer I ever owned]

Found this and its tempting. Price isnt bad for 1440p + Curved.

and yeah for games with wonky 21:9 I would just play it in 27" size it wouldnt bother me too much (i think lol)

u/Noobasdfjkl · 1 pointr/applehelp

There's tons of displays that are superior to the outdated overpriced stuff Apple was pushing. Since you're likely on a Mac, I'll exclude monitors with a higher refresh rate than 60Hz.

This one is a good baseline. It's great if you want a direct replacement for the cinema display (although this monitor features better adjustment).

This one is a great lower res 21:9 display.

This one is a great higher res 21:9 display.

Finally, this one (with it's 28 inch brother) are both excellent UHD monitors.

u/CptnObservant · 1 pointr/buildapc

The closest ultrawide that looks similar that I know of is this U3415W, which is only 60Hz and doesn't have GSync. That would work just fine, but playing at 8560x1440 would look pretty odd lmao

u/PhD_sock · 1 pointr/GradSchool

Well, if it helps: prices are dropping for ultrawides as they become increasingly common. When I bought mine earlier in the summer, it was $750 before taxes. Now, it's $713 Amazon and the newer version that replaced it is just $770.

Give it a year or two and they'll probably drop down around $400-500.

u/Lotharion · 1 pointr/Monitors

I am using an ultrawide since december (29" 2560x1080 LG29UM67-P 75Hz) but if I lived in USA and got a spare 2K$ I would buy this screen and a GPU right away:

  • http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-34-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00PXYRMPE/
  • http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-980TI-GAMING-6G/dp/B0106QZE62

    Dell has awesome quality control, each of their panels are manually calibrated and they got a support for a single dead pixel and the longest warranty of all screens. It's curved but mind that all IPS might have more or less back light bleed so it mostly comes down to luck. As for the GPU 980ti is currently the best choice right now, you will be able to play games at over 45FPS at mix of high/ultra at 3440x1440 for at least a year or two since now (for instance The Division plays at average 50FPS on ultra with drops to 40, changing shadows from HFTS to HBAO gives over 8 FPS). Why MSI ? It has the highest OC of them all which you don't have to tinker at all if you're not interested into OC'ing it more and I've been using MSI for my last 3 cards with no problems (260, 560ti, 770) so you might consider it a personal advice. If you prefer long warranty then pick EVGA card (up to 6 years).

    Personally I am going to buy a new GPU and a screen when Pascal comes out. Either a new architecture or a used 980ti alongside the monitor I listed. If you don't want to wait then buy something as long as you are fine with the product. The monitors you listed are awesome too but in my opinion G-Sync is a gimmick that solves problems that are already solved by already higher refresh rates and simply is not worth the money you can spend on a better GPU (which will also solve the same problem, except the screen tearing at no V-Sync). /r/ultrawidemasterrace

IPS is definitely a must for me, I've currently got 3x Dell U2312HM's that I paid a decent amount for about 5 years ago.They are still great but having a 1 inch bezel between monitors has gotten old!

I'm currently deciding between the U3818DW and U3415W monitors, I'm learning towards the 3818 since its probably large enough to be a single monitor setup with one of my U2312HM's rotated into portrait mode for perusing documentation.

u/Agent117 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I am sorry to ask so many questions, but when the monitor says "overclocking to 100hz" does this mean you need to overclock it manually to get 100hz or there is a setting for 100hz? This coupled with Gsync seem to be the major upgrades over a comparable dell ultrawide which is much cheaper.

u/ajpearman9 · 1 pointr/ffxiv

I play mostly MMOs and RPGs and I have [this ultrawide from Dell](Dell UltraSharp U3415W PXF79 34-Inch Curved LED-Lit Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PXYRMPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_.dp6ybDRVZ2JE).

I got it for $600 after rebate a year and a half ago. It's absolutely perfect for games that have a lot of UI clutter, because I can move all the unimportant things to the sides and have a really wide, beautiful view of everything compared to 16:9 monitors.

The only concern is that it takes a high end GPU to push such a high resolution. I have a Nvidia 980ti and will definitely upgrade at some point because it can't push high framerates in some of the more ridiculous games. FFXIV runs beautifully though! :)

I have that difficult decision to make also. I recently decided on the Dell U3415W. It's got a fair price for such quality. Curved IPS, OCable to ~80Hz, and 1440p ultrawide. I figured I'm not much of a competitive gamer and the increased immersion and productivity while not gaming are gonna be awesome. An Acer Predator X34 would be nice, but I'm not paying $500 more for just 100Hz and gsync.

I did a very quick research in my phone, and I've found this laptop paired with this monitor a very interesting option. You could use the rest of the money on a good mouse and keyboard. I can help you later to find other options, if you don't like this combination.

New suggestion: this laptop here

Edit: Now that I'm home realized the links weren't working. Fixed it. And also put another laptop option.

u/Xazes · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

It depends on what your are looking for and what type of system you have.

First of all for both high resolutions and higher refresh rates you will need a beefier set up than you would for standard 1080p.

The detail you get from a particular resolution is in a way dependent on the size of the monitor. As I understand it 1080p will always be the same amount of pixels regardless of the size of the screen. Therefore as the screen gets bigger you are increasing the area while maintaining the same amount of pixels and decreasing visible detail.

This is much more important for monitors as you sit much closer to them than you do a TV (turn on your TV and stand very close to it, unless it's 4k the image will likely look worse than if you were sitting further away). So as your monitor size gets bigger than higher resolutions show more benefit.

Now what do you want from your monitor? Higher fresh rates and low response times are great for competitive shooters and the like. Depending on your set up and the games you want to play competitively it might be best to stick with 1080p so you can hit those high frame rates.

The higher fresh rate monitors, however, often come in TN panels which have lower color accuracy than IPS. So if you want great colors and are okay with sacrificing some response time you might want to go for that.

Going into 4k you will definitely need a very powerful system to get playable frame rates at higher detail setting. Don't expect to come close to 144fps.

Finally another option is going for an ultra wide monitor, which is what I have in my current setup. These monitors come in 1080p and 1440p though I definitely recommend the latter. Ultra wide monitors offer excellent immersion and extra productivity (more screen space with 3440x1440). Ultra wides do push more pixels than standard 1080p or 1440p so be aware that it will be more taxing on your system. If you do decide to go for an ultra wide I would also recommend that you get the 34 inch variant.

Edit: This is the monitor I currently use: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-34-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00PXYRMPE The dell U3415W has an IPS panel at 60hz with 4-5ms response time. I've beaten the new Doom with it and never noticed any input lag. That being said I am very partial to IPS panels and my last monitor had similar specs in that regard so I might just be used to it. Getting an Ultra Wide monitor is probably the single best improvement I've had to my gaming experience.

u/SprinkCal · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I take quite a fancy to Dell products so guess which manufacturer I recommend.

Ultrawide 1440p monitor

The current monitor I'm using. 24" 1440p

u/yperite · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

you're only restricted by price. The 1080 will run everything easily. What I would recommend is something like a 34" 21:9 monitor like this. It's a large monitor, with an odd aspect ratio of 21:9, but I have one and I love it. It is especially great for running excel alongside other programs as the large monitor basically is two monitors, there is just no bezel in the middle. It will make games more fun too, seeing more peripheral. You can get this within your budget by switching that large M2 drive for a smaller one or replacing it with a normal SSD and your cost will be under the $2500. I think the 21:9 monitors are great for productivity, and I just love the look of them as well. There are many so you can shop around and see what you like. But you have a hefty budget and should be fine.

u/spec10 · 1 pointr/battlestations

Should I buy this or the Dell u3415w. Does anybody own either one that could provide some insight?

u/zlambinator · 1 pointr/MechanicalKeyboards

Yea, that's the other worry I have since I'm looking at this monitor.

u/Insanity_Wulf · 1 pointr/buildapc

I plan on buying this monitor. And I'd like to do not have to worry about upgrading for a few years. Most of what I'll be doing is gaming. I just can't stand getting <25 average FPS in fallout 4 and other games which I can't even play such as ARK Survival and StarCitizen.

And I'd like to have it built by the end of the month, since any later and I'll only have a few weeks to enjoy it before life gets in the way.

I figured the stars were aligning when I heard that new cards were coming out and decided to attempt a first build.

I'm not very knowledable when it comes to parts. I've been watching guides but they don't really explain who makes what in good quality.

Edit: I am completely open to suggestion here. I'm not dead set on buying that specific monitor. It's just I saw it upclose at a friends house and it was very nice. But if you know of any better I'd be glad for input.

u/Teroniz_Nightengale · 1 pointr/unrealengine

I highly suggest giving the Dell 34" 1440P Ultrawide a shot. I've been using for around half a year now and I've been loving it. It's worked amazingly well for UE4, Maya...well... pretty much everything. You can find it on amazon for $750 atm. I also suggest keeping your 27". You can't have too many monitors when it comes to production.

Here's a small example of the space.

It's also a great monitor to game on.





u/cdurkinz · 1 pointr/ultrawidemasterrace

Looks like I skimmed over a few things in your post, like budget and a couple questions.

So you could go with a 3440x1440, and maybe that's a better option because you can always upgrade your GPU later. The GTX 970 at 3440x1440 is probably going to only push 45-60 fps at most with settings lowered quite a bit in most newer games. At your price point something like this would be doable: LG 34"

If you can stretch your budget slightly more you could get a curved one: Dell 34"

Those are both pretty nice but I believe the most they can do is 60Hz, and neither have Gsync. Good luck man!

u/dremic · 1 pointr/ultrawidemasterrace

IPS monitors dont have good blacks.

Contrast ratio is what determines black level not color accuracy.

If you need good blacks get a VA, if you want color accuracy get IPS.

No such thing as a 4k ultrawide. Any 3440x1440 that is 60hz will work perfectly fine for you.

I'd probably do a dell there is one that is 580 with basically no curve
