The title is pretty much what I have to say: "29" 21:9 60hz 5ms 2560x1080 or 27" 16:9 144hz 1ms 1920x1080?"

It depends if you truly want an ultrawide. Honestly, I would go with the 27". Why? well I can get more FPS and it has a better response time. Plus ultra wides are over rated in my book.

If you have a beefy GPU and CPU, then go for 144 hz as the framerates will be much smoother.

If you truly want to take advantage of the 1070, save up for a 1440p monitor. A nice 24-inch should do you just well, especailly with G-Sync.

Keys I agree on saving for 1440p but is g-sync worth the 300-400 dollar premium?

For the true gaming experience, yes. It will match up the frames of what the GPU is pushing...on the fly.

You could always just get a regular 1080p, and then wait to upgrade.

Ok, thank for all the swift response! I appreciate the advice and I think I am going to take it.
