I am searching for a nice value for money 32" or more Gaming Monitor preferably with IPS Panel. I have selected LG 34UM65, BenQ BL3200PT, Samsung S32D850T & ACER B326HUL. I was planning for a 3 Monitor Nvidia Surround Setup on GTX 980 GPU but then dropped that after I saw these monster monitors.
Which format would be best for Gaming & Movies 16: 9 or 21:9?
Please help me decide with budget of around $700. I mainly play FPS Games and few Racing Games and I am not an expert gamer and ultimate aim is to get immersive gaming or movie experience.
 
I have a 27" monitor so I can tell you if it was 32" I'd end up just pushing the monitor back otherwise it would fill my field of vision too much.

Personally, I'd spend a little bit more and get the Asus ROG SWIFT, 27", 2560x1440 monitor since it has G-Sync. That will give you a much smoother FPS experience with less lag.
 


Wow, its about $1000 and that's around 150% of my said budget. Pass!
Anyways, I am leaning towards the LG which has nice 21:9 ratio which would give me little of peripheral vision content in games. But would the resolution look stupid and pixelated on 34" Monitor?
