Just got over this dilemma.
What type of games do you play?
Personally, I play a mix of competitive and story games. 16:9 is better for competitive and UW for story (immersion). Just made the switch from AW3423DW to PG32UCDM3 and i do miss that 21:9 aspect ratio and higher frames but the sharpness and clarity of 4k is mesmerizing. One thing to consider though is if you choose 4k you will likely have to upgrade your GPU more frequently to maintain performance in 4k whereas 1440p UW will pump those settings and frames longer. If I had anything less than a 5090 I'd probably choose the 1440p UW though. 4k performance just isn't quite there yet for other cards IMO.
Can't go wrong with either one. They're both an amazing gaming experience.
Have also found that I don't really notice or need the increased fps, if anything I miss the stability I had from sitting at a solid 175 on the a34dw. And I hate dsc 😂
The games you play really is the make or break. I mainly do fps, both are oled went from the aw3423dw ? Idk the first Alienware oled to the Xg27ucdm ? For me no question I’d rather play on the 4K 27” but again I’m fps.
800r on a 34” is pretty bad tbh. Makes it seem smaller than other 34” screens. If you’re set on 34” then you’re better off getting the AW3435DW or the MSI MPG341CQPX. They’re both 34” 3440x1440p with a 1700r curve which is waaay better. However they are glossy and QD OLED. For most (myself included) that’s preferred over the matte WOLED this LG monitor has.
