Buying monitor in two days, need help!

[john _k]

Hello,

I want the best monitor to pair with my Asus Strix Gtx 1070. Here are the monitors I was looking at:

1. Acer Predator X34 (21:9)
2. Dell U3415W (21:9)
3. Acer XB241H 144hz G-sync
4. Asus MG248q 144hz FreeSync

This is my first ever gaming build, and I would some recommendations about gaming monitor choices.

Thanks,

Do not get a FreeSync monitor, that won't work with an Nvidia card (it's AMD only, as G-Sync is Nvidia only).

I have the Acer XB270HU - I think it's the best monitor to pair with your 1070.

The Acer Predator X34 is the god of all monitors right now, I mean if you have $1,200 to spend on a gaming monitor this is the best of the best right now. It will be the best for the GTX 1070. Don't get the FreeSync monitor for an NVIDIA card, not compatible. But what specs are important to you? Resolution, Reponse Time, Refresh rate, color reproduction?

Thanks for your reply! As you can see from my post, I'm still torn between 21:9 and 16:9. Actually, I saw 29 inches Ultrawides in person, and it felt so small for me. Now I'm between 34 inch Ultrawide or 16:9 144hz.
