Hi fellow hardware enthousiast

This is a follow up to this tread:

I still haven't decided which monitor to buy. I am now considering to buy a LG 34 Inch ultrawide or a 27 Inch 144hz monitor. I can't decide what to buy. I will maybe buy both but one now and one in a while but wich one should I take?

Oh and if I where to buy the 34 Inch ultrawide which one?

Tom's Haedware have a fantastic list of "Best monitors"
one of the category is ultra wide monitors,
The List
I reccoment or the Acer XR341CK or the BenQ XR3501

Those monitors are 2x almost 3x as expencive.

This is the normal price for Ultra wide monitors, and i dont know how you found these monitors at such low price.
if i were you i would buy a 144 Hz screen but if you want a Ultra wide then it depends if you want to use free sync or g sync,
if you dont i reccomend the LG 34UM67, i am aware it is the most expensive one, and there is a reason for it.
