MrElie wroteI do agree with Aly that both monitors are good, but I would like to correct him that he should not presume that no one tried something. I know a few members here in the forums that spends a fortune on their gaming/everyday pc equipment one of them would be me.
I searched long and hard before I bought my new monitor and I think the dilemma TechGuru is going through is well justified.
Regarding english spelling, I find it constructive being corrected since this is an english forum, therefore one should work on himself getting better. Everybody makes mistakes but I don't mind being corrected by anyone.
now back on topic, TechGuru I think the Acer Predator XB273K is the best choice to go for. Since it has everything and HDR certified and 144hz. U know my opinion i'd rather have a smaller monitor with 240hz and Gsync which is the one I bought, but in your case being someone who was playing on an ultrawide for so long i think the XB273K is the best choice.
Well mate , to me the Asus ROG PG35VQ is the real upgrade with FALD 300+ dimmable zones , 200hz , Gsync 2 (Ultimate) , & Vesa Display real HDR1000 certified.
Personally I will not go 27 16:9 ( regardless of the resolution & resfresh rate) when I witnessed the immersivity that WQHD provides on 21:9 34" (Asus ROG PG 348Q. Your field of view will be covered.
2160p on 32" with HDR 1000 FALD 144hz is a very tempting upgrade for next gen 2160p 144hz HDR monitors. Predator XB273K bazels are thick & it is Vesa HDR 400 certified only.
Meanwhile , I ordered yesterday from Amazon (along with Club 3D DP 1.4 Cable) , the
BenQ EX3203R
32" Curve 1800r | Vesa Display HDR400 Certified | 144Hz | QHD| Freesync2 (Gsync Compatible from 48hz - 144hz with LFC below 48hz | VA - AU Optronics (AUO) panel ) | 90% Coverage of DCI P3 wide color gamut | Ultra Slim Bezel | USB-Type C
As a temporary gaming monitor until the PG 35VQ is released.
