I have tried dozens of gaming monitors and this is truly the Holy Grail of gaming. This monitor is the prime example that shows why PC Gaming is the best way to game, the 21:9 ultrawide support, coupled with the 3440 X 1440 resolution, G-sync technology and IPS panel combine to produce an unbeatable visual experience, that you simply cannot beat. Buy with confidence.
Pros:
-21:9 Ultrawide - the extra screen real estate makes a real difference. I play a wide variety of games, including racing games, RPGs, FPSs and third person adventure games, they all benefit from the extra screen real estate offered by the Ultrawide.
-21:9 is now ubiquitous, almost every modern game supports it, unlike triple screen resolutions, which are still hit or miss as to native support.
-3440 X 1440 Resolution - this is the right balance, at this screen size, 4K is unnecessary, which means your GPU does not need to be top end.
-IPS Panel - After years of trying TN and VA panels, I am back to an IPS panel and boy did I forget what I was missing. Colors pop in a way that TN and VA panels simply cannot match.
-G-sync - The hype is real, if you want silky smooth gameplay, adaptive sync technology is the only way to go. Once you go G-sync (or Freesync), you simply will never want to go back.
-100 hz - The monitor is easily "overclocked" from 60 to 100 hz, which is a nice plus. A higher refresh rate accommodates higher frame rates, which helps with the smoothness of what you see. Coupled with G-sync, a higher refresh rate makes everything unbelievably smooth.
-Controls - the controls are on the right side of the monitor and they are very intuitive. I have no trouble navigating the control menus.
-VESA Support Included - this will allow you to mount the monitor to a monitor stand or mount, which is what I am doing. I have the monitor mounted to the monitor mount on my Obutto racing cockpit.
Cons:
-Expensive - I paid $951 for this monitor. Its worth every penny, but its still a lot of coin.
-Requires high end GPU if you want to play new titles at Ultra settings.
-No HDR - at this price, it would be nice if it included HDR, but its certainly not a dealbreaker.
