[SOLVED] Ultrawide: IPS 1080p vs. VA 1440p

[firejet]

I'm looking for an Ultrawide for my PC build that has a GTX1070. I'm stuck between the AOC CU34G2X 34" vs. LG 34GL750-B 34."

Both are 144hz, but I'm worried about the different panel technologies. I mostly play Single Story Player and some Steam Indie games with some Digital Illustration through Photoshop. Which monitor should I go for?

I would go with the 1440p monitor. The added vertical height is worth it, as is the higher pixel density.

At 34", I wouldn't consider anything less than 1440p. Given the distance you typically sit from a monitor, 27" is probably about the cutoff (for me, at least) beyond which, you're going to notice pixels.

VA has solid colour reproduction.... not quite on par with IPS, but very close these days.

I'm looking at that same aoc monitor! Currently out of stock on Amazon and overpriced everywhere else.

I'd also recommend the 1440. The 1070 should still do fairly well even at 2.5k. You may not max all games on ultra, but it'll still look better than 1080p.
