3 Monitors to go with my R9 295x2

[YroPro]

Hey guys.
I just ordered a 295x2 as well as some other parts for my new build, my current monitor is a 5 or so year old acer 1680x1050, looking to upgrade for my new graphics card. I really want to use eyefinity, or an ultrawide, but when I checked out the ultrawide Linus reviewed, I didn't like how it wan't curved. I really want a more immersive experience. I've been looking at the Dell U2414H.

Let me know what you think!

whats your price range for each monitor

 

[YroPro]

I'm open to pretty much anything. Total around ~1k, give or take $200.

A single 30" 1600p screen would be my choice. Dell do a very nice one.

Like what? I'll go check it out if I can find one nearby. And if I'm going to go single monitor I may as well get 140hz.

What about a curved Ultra HD monitor? I have no idea what those bad boys costs, though 😀

You'll struggle to get 140hz AND good picture quality of an IPS/PLS.

I personally prefer better picture quality over higher refresh rate, but its personal preference.

Surely my 295x2 can handle a single monitor? Or you're saying those monitors don't tend to come with good quality and high refresh?

A curved one would be fantastic, unfortunately I've only seen flat ones so far. Let me know if you see any.

Exactly. If you get a 140hz monitor, it will be a TN panel which has poor colours and viewing angles compared to a good IPS/PLS panel (which tend to have lower refresh rate).

Oh my god. That's gorgeous. Maybe 2 U2414H's to hold me over until then. But that is EXACTLY what I wanted. (I think, still need to see it in person.)
