Samsung C34F791 vs Alienware AW34 which one to get?

[Karmazyn83]

Hi,

Which one do you believe is a better monitor for gaming? I watch movies occasionally on PC monitor but it would not be a deal breaker for me.

Alieneware AW34 is at max of my budget. As much as I would love new 35 inch Asus monitor nobody knows when it will be released and what the price might be these are my choices.

I have GTX 1080 so it should be enough for AW34 or Samsung C34FT91.

Thank you for your help.

Go for the samsung for two reasons:
1: If you were to upgrade to a dual monitor setup then you could get the second monitor for cheam and they would match.
2: You could upgrade some parts like memory or storage rather than fishing out for the alienware.

Running two ultrawide monitors side by side would be magical....interesting idea. Hmmm the more I think about it I would need three displays really (will never have enough cash for a set up like this), otherwise I would be oddly positioned with center of my vision at the merging point of two monitors.
I will be building my next PC when Volta is out. I am still happy with w my PC that is why I want to upgrade display. I have neglected upgrading display for far too long. 27" 1080p 144Hz TN monitor wont do anymore.

Which one you think would be more futureproof. I would like to keep it for 3-4 years.
