[SOLVED] Which Monitor please ? ...

[nick05]

Hi all,
I am looking at upgrading my whole PC setup this year but I am a little stuck on which monitor / monitors to buy.......
I use my PC for general internet browsing / shopping but mainly for Gaming, I play games like Tomb Raider, Assasins Creed, Dead Light, Witcher 3 etc etc but I also own a sim rig for racing which is where I am a little stuck on which monitor setup to go for, triples or ultra wide single.
I am holding out for the 3080ti so I have time to wait for the new Samsung Odyssey G9 49-inch which ofc would eliminate the need for triples or do I bypass the G9 and simply go for x3 LG UltraGear 27GL850-B Quad HD 27" Nano IPS, whats your thoughts and the pros and cons please guys ?

My rig will be:
Gigabyte MB INT 1151 Z390 Designare D4 ATX
G. Skill D432GB 3200
Intel Core i9-9900K
EVGA Nvidia 3080ti Hybrid

Monitor specs:

LG UltraGear 27GL850-B Quad HD 27" Nano IPS LCD Gaming Monitor
• Nano IPS 1ms response time
• 27” QHD (2560 x 1440) Nano IPS Display

I would say the

Samsung Odyssey G9 49-inch Ultrawide Gaming Monitor

Because you said you are a gamer, and 240hz goes a lot better than a measly 144hz. And it has G-Sync AND free sync 2, in case you decide to get an AMD graphics card. It has a higher resolution and QLED looks nicer than the other monitor.
