Hi all

I have LG W2353V and it is time to upgrade to another screen

i am confused between Asus PG279Q and LG 34UC97-S 34" UltraWide WQHD IPS Thunderbolt Curved LED Monitor


Asus PG279Q = 965$

LG 34UC97-S = 813$ from pcandparts

is there any shop which sell LG monitors if i want the next model LG 34UC98?

my usage will be:

Gaming

So what do you think ?

I will chose ASUS ROG Swift Curved PG348Q Gaming Monitor - 34" 21:9 Ultra-wide QHD (3440x1440), overclockable 100Hz , G-SYNC™ , for a wide monitor and ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q Gaming Monitor - 27" 2K WQHD (2560 x 1440) IPS, overclockable 165Hz, G-SYNC™ , only.
wait longer, the new monitors with the dp 1.4 ports were in CES. ultrawides are going to see 144hz @ 1440p. stick what you have now. prices should drop down for the older monitors

Will we witness a soon releases of 144hz , 2160 , HDR through DP 1.4 , that what I am waiting for actually for better future proofing ;) , was going to pull the trigger on Monday for the SUS ROG Swift PG279Q but I pulled it back following your strategy.
U are all doing it wrong ,

No gpu can run 4k@144mhz let alone 165mhz

That monitor will only be good after 2 generations of gpu , in 10 days bf 1 on asus pg279q @165mhz the open beta was better than sex , lol

The uses between 34", 27", and 24" are different. Sure you can game on all, but the view focus is different. 34" monitors are best for games with a a wide gaming field. Games like GTA, Total War, or RTS. 24" monitors are best for FPS and competitive gaming. CSGO players use 24" monitors as they just have to concentrate on a smaller screen estate.

27" comes in between.

Personally I used to play DOTA2 on a Sony 32" TV. I thought it was cool till I got a 27". I had a better gaming experience.

Bigger monitors don't mean better.

This might be late but is the PG279Q still retailing for 965$ as OP mentioned?
Also any of you know if SETS sells the Dell S2716DG?
The PG279Q is a bad investment now to buy it , Asus just announced Asus ROG Swift PG27VQ using a curved panel with Quantum Dot technology (HDR 10 with Gsync 2) and 165hz refresh rate 2k resolution. Quantum dot , like the Samsung high end KS Series TVS, tip 1000 nits of brightness , < 0.05 nits of blacks , and a wide color gamut covering more than 85% of the P3 color space. HDR is the next move in gaming that gives more color depth and more immersive experience. I tried on my TV linked to a 1070 that outputs a 10bit HDR signal totally immersive and nice experience. Gsync 2 in VQ model will reduce input lag since HDR adds more processing on 2k and 4k signals.

It's the PG27UQ by the way. I totally agree when it comes to this new technology it's beyond belief an upgrade to what we have now!
That being said, I have a project for you Tech Guru, try to find a GPU without going SLI that is capable of pushing a 3 monitored surround of these bad boys. Until the GTX 20XX comes out I doubt anyone would decently push these to the limit. Think of it this way with 165HZ you should have an average of 165fps to take advantage of such technology even with Gsync 2. I'm trying to plan a triple screen setup for simracing all ran on a single GPU capable of 140+ fps @1440p.

Since we are on the subject of Monitors, would it be successful to hybrid the surround setup? like using PG278Q on the sides with PG279Q in the middle. I'm aware that the PG278Q is a TN panel but it's ok since it will be mounted at a 45-degree angle to the middle panel. The GPU in mind is either the Aorus 1080Ti extreme edition or the Zotac 1080Ti Amp extreme.

UHD (3840 x 2160) is the PG27UQ , 1440p is the VQ edition. I think the Titan X Pascal (XP) the newly announced one is capable to push triple 1440ps but sub 60fps :) Wait for Volta with HBM 2.0 that is capabale of 700 KB/sec memory bamdwidth that is needed for 3x 1440ps , you project is great but tough indeed for a single GPU without SLI.
And remember gsync is broken with sli , volta is at least a year far away and that wont even cut it , volta refresh might , so happy gaming after a year and half
