4K

Never understood why people just don't buy a 40 inch 4k tv as a monitor, instead of this ultra-wide shit. It costs less, and you actually have way more picture.

It's probably because people get easily manipulated by marketing strategies, or they watch reviews of people on Youtube, saying that it's AMAZING for gaming... just so you would click on their affiliate link and get a commission.

Anything above 60hz is a meme. 120hz memers actually claim that 60 fps is too choppy for their subhuman eyes.

I measured the screen sizes for these and you actually really need the 34s to get more vertical than 24 16:9s
you could buy new vega shit with that kind of money or upgrade your existing shit

21:9 1080+, and 4k is still good goy shit to me
and you could always try to force any of your monitors over its stock refresh like what korean assfags do anyway if you care

16:10 for gaming because it actually reduces your horizontal FOV.

>>378303110
That's a very curious way of looking at it.
If you buy the 16:10 equivalent of a 16:9 display, you get more vertical FoV, not less horizontal.

I'd love me a 2560×1600 monitor but they're crazy expensive compared to 1440p.

>>378303065

I tried both a 4k TV and some gaming monitors.

And guess what?

There was no difference. No lagging, no nothing.... even in CS:GO and Unreal 2017.

You guys are so dumb for falling for these marketing gimmicks. Everything was fine, until gaming monitors decided to create a problem that doesn't exist, so dumb fucks like you would spend more money on "gaming" monitors.

"Muh 144hz"

"Muh lower response time"

"Muh special color setting that will give me 150% more accuracy in esports games"

"Hurr durr I'm just a dumb sheep falling for marketing tactics hurr"

Please, just test both before giving bad advice to people.

This though desu,I had a 1680x1050 monitor and recently upgrade to a standard 1080p, and it feels too wide for me. Much prefer the added vertical space. Problem is that a criminal amount of games don't even have 16:10 support and just slap two black bars to make it into 16:9.

What's wrong with 4k 65in ?

You get a big screen and a good pixel density. The price is standard.

You, on the other side, are buying regular moonitors, that are 10x more expensive, because they are for "gaming" and have some settings that you probably never even heard before (because they don't matter).

Bee bee, littke sheep, keep buying "gaming" gear for 10x the price of you what you should be paying for the same thing.

Remember when 3D was all over the place?

>>378304635
curved sucks unless it's specifically an ultrawide, there's a reason they are barely stocked, cuz no one wants one

shit you probably got yours at 50% off, don't even bother lying they were all like that when I was shopping for a 4k TV

>>378304635
I've never bought a monitor for more than two hundred and fifty dollars.

>>378304784
Australian dollars, so about US$0.50

since this thread is here

should I get that ASUS 3440x1440 with 100hz refresh rate or go for an LG 3840x1600 with 75hz?

read: 3840x1600, not 3840x2160

I feel like the 100hz would be neat for games that can't be run in ultrawide at standard 1440p, but the ASUS feels painfully small vertically

>>378304880
also the LG is freesync and I'm an nvidia goy, but idk if this g/freesync shit is any useful I never tried it

>>378304880
if you're lucky, you can force the 75 to run above stock
how much burgers do those cost?

>>378305085
1200 for the asus and 1700 for the LG but I'm yuropoor so probably more

>>378301850
>recomending a TV for a PC

And that's why you're tech illiterate.

Ultrawide is as close as it gets to the native aspect ratio of movies, which translates into no black bars, plus you actually get to see more in the games you play. The image isn't just stretched, you know, you see more shit. And despite being way more immersive due to this, it's not as demanding as 16:9 4k, plus you actually have a lot of screen real state that you're probably gonna ditch your second monitor altogether like I did.

There's zero reason to not get an ultrawide for entertainment. Only a tech illiterate luddite like yourself would say otherwise.

I remember /v/ loving that 3 monitor setup thing, why the hate for ultrawide?

also lol @ the guy calling people out for wasting money and buying a curved 16:9

The market is really retarded. 21:9 feels so fucking natural once you upgrade to it. 16:9 makes no fucking sense at all.

How in the fuck? A 34" ultrawide is as tall as a 27" 16:9 monitor. How the hell is that short?

>>378305315
Well most TV is broadcast in 16:9 including 21:9 content, so it doesn't really make sense for TV's to be 21:9

Is situation with 16:10 really that bad?

>>378306883
they're barely sold anymore but most of the time games support it and even if they don't (ubishit trash for example adds black bars), you can most of the time fix it

support is overall probably better than 21:9 (which is great by the by), remember 16:10 used to be the standard at one point

>>378303283
>I'd love me a 2560×1600 monitor but they're crazy expensive compared to 1440p.

it's not just the $$$, which is that big because no supply, they're featureless compared to the more modern panels. maybe all the companies selling multi thousand dollar gaming kit will bring 16:10 back sometime

>>378306979
Why did they abandon 16:10? I think it's better for gaming at least.

>>378302292
It is quite noticeable if you're playing competitive mp type games.

>>378304980
g-sync and freesync are shit that fixes your monitor to whatever your gpu puts out (or is fixed to put out)
if your gpu is too weak or too powerful to run something at the fixed rate, shit in motion will look fucked and cut up

amd is less jewish than nvidia because nvidia requires you to have this expensive chip on the monitor for you to get g-sync whereas freesync is open and it cost nothing so manufacturers don't need to pass on the cost to you

Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

What's more important :

Refresh rate or

Resolution

?

>>378308884
Refresh rate, imbalanced refresh rate causes screen tearing.

>>378308884
A good balance of the two.
4k 30hz is shit, but I also wouldn't want 720p 200Hz

1440p/1080p 120/144hz is the sweet spot, attainable reslutions at high framerates for even mid range cards if you drop settings down

>>378308884
Depends on the case, but in the end it comes down to personal preference.
I like superhigh resolutions myself, and would choose a 60Hz screen over a 120Hz one with a noticeably lower resolution. Now obviously if I could get both in a single monitor I'd go with that.

>ITT Those who haven't used 120+hz monitors

For real, even general mouse movement is so much smoother, I would never go back to a 60hz monitor. It feels like trash.

Depends on the game speed. The faster the game and the higher the importance of quick reactions, like in UT/QL, the more important the refresh rate.

Let me clear this up once and for all.

FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE, 144hz IS NOT A MEME AND ONCE EXPERIENCED WITH YOUR OWN EYES YOU WILL REALIZE WHAT YOU ARE MISSING OUT.

don't be mad or upset, just save up and experience it, EXPERIENCE IT.
I swear i'm not a shill but poorfags have to understand what they are missing out!!

>>378310234
For something that I'm going to play casually on the couch I'd rather have a prettier game at 60fps than turn settings down to get 144fps

>>378301196
21:9 has a place in the gaming market - FPS and TPS shooters and sims. Anything, really, where a wide FoV is a distinct advantage.

Now, for RTS and MOBAs, I'm not so sure. Sidescrollers wouldn't really benefit. Ditto more benign stuff.

Really, get whatever you prefer. I'm happy with 16:10 displays I use, even though they are even less supported natively than 21:9 nowadays.

>>378310874
will you not relinquish victory

>>378311027
Is water a meme? checkmate

>>378304553
21:9 is even less commonplace than 16:10 and just having a ultrawide monitor won't magically increase your FOV unless the devs specifically allow it which a lot of them don't. Cropping in games that "support" ultrawide resolutions is a legit issue whether you want to accept it or not.

>>378308884

Resolution. 60Hz is still more than enough if you're not some kind of autistic "e-sports" type of mongoloid guy.

>He fell for the 4K 144hz 3D TV with VR headset meme

>>378311197
the "lack of support" is quite exaggerated. I have one and most games are fine

>>378311197
Only game ive had an issue with so far is skyrim

>>378301850
4k is still a 16:9 resolution, Einstein. 21:9 still shows significantly more despite output resolution.

>>378304727
>curved sucks
Care to elaborate on that? Or you just don't want to/can't buy one so you justify it by saying it sucks

>>378304727
Curved is good if you sit close and use it as a mancave monitor with perfect seating for one person. At sofa distances though it's pretty pointless.

>>378311082
Dunno, a lot of csgo pros still play even on 4:3, you always concentrate on center of your screen with occasional glance on minimap, which is better not to be very far from the center.

>>378312068
You could just sit closer to the TV, increase the FOV to 21:9 levels, and then you'd have the same effect except more image at the top/bottom.

>>378305315
Retard, the fact you are greentexting shows you are illiterate faggot.

Films are most often in 2.35 aspect ratio. That is cinemascope, go to wikipedia and educate yourself you fucking dumb peasant.

21:9 screen feels much more natural to your eyes and after using it for a while it's very hard to go back to normal. It's also pretty nice for productivity but back at work I use 2 x 16:9 screens there are certain uses for that anyway.

Only retards argue about aspect ratios.

>>378312341
could just do the same with 21:9 and get the same but with more horizontal view then
21:9 really does increase game immersion, I have one and love it
the price premium is a valid concern but the current state is definitely improving, and lack of support isn't really an issue

>>378301473

>1440p

My 1440p monitor looks far better than my old 1080p one, thanks. But hey, please feel free to keep saying things that make you look like an idiot.

>>378312634
The point is it has nothing to do with the aspect ratio and everything do with how much of your field of view the screen covers. And for best immersion you'd want to match the in-game FOV to the percent of your real FOV the display covers otherwise you'll just get that retarded "playing quake at 360 degrees" feeling. The ultimate goal of course being a VR solution that fills it completely.

Alright, lads.
I want to buy an 21:9 34 inches screen.
However I can't decide between two options, which one is better?
>1080p 144hz (Slightly cheaper than the other one)
Or
>1440p 60hz (Better quality than the other one, less bleed etc.)

>>378313920
>34 inches
1080 will probably be too small for it.

>>378311197
any game that can output 21:9 will have magically increased FOV, except for some really weird shit where it removes verticality to achive widescreen. And that can be fixed anyway
