Which Ultrawide should I get? Is G-Sync WORTH it?


Recommended Posts

So I've been looking at a few Ultrawide monitors and I don't know which one to get. Right now I have an i5-6600k Oc'd to 4.2GHz with 16GB of DDR4 Ram, GSkill I think. I also have an EVGA GTX 1060 6GB. With that being said, I want to sell my 3 HP 27es monitors and buy an Ultrawide. The reason I ask about G-Sync is because I like that new Samsung Monitor, Samsung CHG90 QLED. Problem is, it doesn't have G-Sync and it's 3,840 x 1080. Is G-Sync REALLY that great? Take a look at this list, what would you choose? Any suggestions for off list items? I want an Ultrawide, curved monitor. Thanks for your help!

1080 based monitors are starting to vanish as a breed...

 

4K is something you might want to consider and a good 4K LCD panel has amazing color rendition...

I also have an Ultra-wide and love it. I would  recommend one though that has more than just 1080p. An ultra-wide like that just looks....wrong. Get one with 1200p or better yet 1440p.
