sabre.86 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hi guys, this 57 year old simmer needs an opinion on which curved 21:9 monitor to purchase. Currently I am using my son's Acer X34A, and I got hooked. He will soon be back from his holidays, so i decided to buy one for myself. I can't decide between the Acer X34A, Asus ROG PG348Q or the Acer Z35P (the latter is currently available from the local tech shop, the other two have to order on line). Your input is much appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansangb Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Do you have Nvidia or AMD GPU? And what GPU do you have? Enough to push 34" display? And do you care about GSync or FreeSync? hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supmua Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 If you have NVIDIA GPU then G-Sync monitor is the way to go. According to the general consensus on Reddit /r/ultrawidemasterrace, Dell's Alienware 3418DW is the one to get. I currently have a non G-sync LG monitor and definitely do notice some screen tearing when panning around with TrackIR, which is a bummer. PC: 5800X3D/4090, 11700K/3090, 9900K/2080Ti. Joystick bases: TMW, VPC WarBRD, MT50CM2, VKB GFII, FSSB R3L Joystick grips: TM (Warthog, F/A-18C), Realsimulator (F-16SGRH, F-18CGRH), VKB (Kosmosima LH, MCG, MCG Pro), VPC MongoosT50-CM2 Throttles: TMW, Winwing Super Taurus, Logitech Throttle Quadrant, Realsimulator Throttle (soon) VR: HTC Vive/Pro, Oculus Rift/Quest 2, Valve Index, Varjo Aero, https://forum.dcs.world/topic/300065-varjo-aero-general-guide-for-new-owners/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
