Best ultra wide 21:9 2k under $1000

[tim613]

Trying to get some opinions on monitors under 1k. I've been looking around but im not sure which brand to go with for gaming like lg Samsung acer or asus. I would like to be able to over clock it up to 100hz if possible. Thanks for any input

One of the best units around... https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cdcMnQ/asus-rog-swift-pg278qr-270-2560x1440-144hz-monitor-pg278qr

27"/1ms/144hz/1440p/g-sync

Do you have a high end Nvidia card? Assuming you want GSync and have the (significant!) graphics horsepower required to drive it, Amazon have the awesome X34 on special right now for *just* over your $1K budget: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016GNX4SE/?tag=pcpapi-20
100hz, 1440P, 21:9, 34", GSync. Pretty fantastic monitor if you're got the horsepower to drive it.

I have a 1080 right now and I'm upgrading to 1080ti, I saw that deal on the acer but I can't ship it to where I'm at(military overseas address) but other brands will ship here for whatever reason. Is the asus rog pg348 I believe it's called comparable. Seems like reviews I've read have been mixed on it. That's why I've been trying to see if any other monitors would be better to go with if there cheaper. I'm still open to a 27 inch but it seems like the ultra wide has more positive feedback over the 27 inch

Yes, that is also a very good unit, specially for gaming.

Yeah that display looks really nice too. I suspect those two panels actually come out of the same factory, you're just seeing Acer vs ASUS' take on very similarly spec'd panels. the headline specs are almost identical.
