Acer Predator Z35

[tezt]

Hi everyone,

I've decided to upgrade my set up with new monitor and I was looking through the website and forum on what are the options at budget of 600 GBP.
Currently I have a basic 27" Samsung monitor with 60 Hz refresh rate and Packard Bell 24".

So I've seen Acer Predator Z35 which initially looked exactly what I wanted,
but then I've started to read more and more about it and realised that people are having issues with "ghosting/smearing".
Some people have also mentioned that the resolution is not that grate for 35" monitor.

I would like to hear from people who currently have this monitor what is their opinion on above statement(s) ?
Is there anything better coming up in the future that is worth waiting for ?

P.S. I could not find anything else it the same price range and with the same specs (ultra-wide).
I've looked at more expensive models with 4K and IPS panels, but I've read that IPS has it's own issues (IPS Glow and Back-light Bleeding).

Indeed. A 35" monitor should be running at 3440x1440. Pixel density would be quite horrendous at 2560x1080. Though you may be used to it if that 27" of yours is a 1920x1080. (I also had a similar ASUS for many years, very screen door, didn't enjoy reading on it)

IPS is going to have more ghosting then a fast response time TN display, but you will get better colors and viewing angles, which is good for a curved display. Back light bleed is often mis-identified IPS glow. They glow around the edges, just how it is made. Bleeding is when it is extreme and you have very bright or uneven spots and it is on more then the edges.

Keep in mind 3440x1440 is 5/8 or so the resolution of 4K, and takes quite a bit of GPU power to run.
