So /v/ I need a new monitor for my gaming pc
the question is do I want a 1440p 21:9 monitor or a 4k monitor?
Currently running a 1070 build with an intel i7 6700k processor.
Triple 4k

Why would you get a 21:9 monitor?
Seriously. What are you going to use it for? If you have a valid reason (perhaps gaming in a window with a lot of spare screen to view other things) then sure, that's a great deal. Assuming that the game doesn't auto-scale itself to your native resolution and try stretching a 4:3 display all the way across your monitor. (No, you won't be able to play your online multiplayer FPS with a wider view just because you have a 21:9 screen.)
If something like that isn't what you have planned, then 4k sounds like the better deal.
Also, what is the refresh rate on each monitor?
>>378224063
Might just do a double
>>378224239
60 hz for 4k 144 hz for 1440p

>Why would you get a 21:9 monitor?
Wider gaming and better for movies/productivity, obviously.
16:9 sucks.
>>378225909
I won't lie this is pretty sweet.
>>378223532
1440p.
Your setup would not be able to deliver a steady 60FPS on 4K on most games unless you´re not planning on playing Ultra
>>378225909
and who would play that weeb shit on 21:9
21:9 is designed to play some actual good looking games
>>378223532
What is this obsession with neon shit when "gamer" stuff is involved
>>378223532
I got 1440p
I wish i would have gotten a 3440x1440 instead
Widescreen looks pimp
>>378223532
the question is: you want to play multiplayer games only where frame matters, or multiplayer and singleplayer games
you want 3840x2160
4k is a marketing term for idiots
21:9 is nice but extremely expensive if you want the same amount of pixel real estate at 16:9 @ 3840x2160
>>378223532
I don't get the 21:9, especially for gaming. You can't see shit since it's too wide.
>>378229223
>>378229223
3440x1440 is 1440p you dumb fuck
>>378223532
i still sometimes play old 4:3 titles unstretched and thinking about how ridiculous shit would look on ultra-wide display
>>378223532
you mean 16:9 vs 21:9
OP you stupid faggot, rahter dont buy anything if you are this autistic
Get a 3440x1440 (21:9) monitor
>correct aspect ratio for movies
>usually gives you a wider FOV in singleplayer games
>frequently gives you a higher FOV in multiplayer games
>let's you be super productive with two windows next to each other
>looks cool
nice meme
decent 4k is like 500-600 burgers and decent 3440x1440 are like 600-900 burgers
and anything above 100hz is meme

>usually gives you a wider FOV in singleplayer games
>frequently gives you a higher FOV in multiplayer games
what the literal fuck?
you know that you can adjust fov in most games, no matter if its single or multiplayer
>>378223532
1080p
>>378231246
You don't understand aspect ratio, do you?
4k, 21:9 is a meme
21:9, 4k is a meme
1024 x 768, anything higher is a meme
Paint on canvas, digital images are a meme.

>21:9
is your ceiling that short?
why would you buy a manlet monitor?
the premium dimension on a desk, the amount that you have the least of but want the most of, is the horizontal axis
why are you considering picking a display that takes up more horizontal space in the name of saving vertical space?
>>378224239
Playing at 21:9 is pretty fucking sweet anon. One of those things you have to really experience for yourself in order to appreciate it.

Trips don't lie

>in the name of saving vertical space?
What? It has nothing to do with saving vertical space. It's literally just more horizontal space.
>>378233000
yeah but you need a lot of money to run 21:9 1440
probably upgrade your GPU and whole system too
enthusiast-wage-slave-who-just-wants-to-see-some-pretty-shit-for-40-mins-and-doesn't-even-care-or-know-about-what-the-fuck-he-is-even-playing - tier kind of bullshit
nobody but a fucking top retard would actually spend that much money to play assfaggots or hackers: go slightly fucking better
and only select games support 21:9, and both 21:9 and 4k will piss you off outside of games
>>378232965
you might be retarded anon
>sub 40" 4k is garbage
>40" monitors suffer dozens of hardware problems
>21:9 is overpriced and too narrow
>2.4:1 is expensive as fuck
>>378234062
Hey speak for yourself anon. Playing DaS3 or Grim Dawn or Far Cry 3/4 at 21:9 is the tits. Sorry you're either too poor to do it or are just trying to be a contrarian.
>>378234062
using a 21:9 monitor rn, surprising lack of "lack of support"
>>378234062
>both 21:9 and 4k will piss you off outside of games
Yeah having all this extra screen space really pisses me off. Retard.
