VG34VQL1B

Seems about the same, rtings tested an older version and had the typical VA performance: [https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-gaming-vg34vql1b](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-gaming-vg34vql1b)

Depends on what you’re looking for- this is a VA panel so compared to your s2721DGF it’ll have deeper blacks producing better contrast, but has slow gray-to-gray transitions resulting in dark smearing on moving objects. Some people don’t seem to mind, but for me it‘s a deal killer. Good IPS panels have dropped in price these past few years, so you could get something similar to your current one for \~$150 or less. If you want a noticeable upgrade, I’d step up to mini-LED or OLED.

I have been using this one for almost 2 years, love it no complaint’s. ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B 34" 21:9 UWQHD 165Hz Curved VA HDR LED Gaming Monitor with FreeSync

I’ve been using an ASUS TUF VG34VQL1B 34" ultra wide for MSFS and have loved it. I also do other things on my pc that it helps with as well. Though the one I mentioned is LCD, not oled.

No problem, always invest into something you do often. I picked up mine for around $300USD because it was open box at microcenter. But definitely look into curved ultrawides, perhaps a lower refresh rate to fit your budget and even look at some in person, they’re a game changer!

I have this, and it's been really good so far. Out of all the sub 300-350 34' uw, this is the best I'd say, even better than the gigabyte one. Ofc you're not gonna get oled in this price range, so if you're like me who wants a 34uw dub 300, get this. Got it last year for 235 from microcenter with a $35 2 year extended warranty, so the price seems standard for this

my Monitor nerd review: \-Pretty good monitor for a VA panel \-Doesnt have massive brightness issues like the samsung VA ultra/superultrawides \-pretty good deal for $260 \-if you've never used a curved monitor visit a best buy or something and see if its for you, they are "different" \-for gaming OLED is significantly better as its performance in darkness/blacks is a universe better, but if you dont play those kinds of games then it'll be fine. \-if you decide on another monitor dont go super ultrawide unless you are a real enthusiast, regular ultrawide is as wide as you really want to wide, most games dont properly support super \-iirc adaptive sync is a tiny bit iffy on these monitors and can cause very light flickering in certain situations that are 99.99% almost always on loading screens when the "framerate" is super unstable

I own an ASUS TUF 34” Ultrawide and it works great for both. 170hz and I believe it’s a 1 ms response time. There are several variations, but overall works well for both and can be found under $300.

This is all anecdotal, but: Great in my experience. I use it for hours on end with zero eye fatigue. The IPS panel looks good from most angles. I imagine the widescreen experience is going to be pretty similar across devices, but the 170hz helps smooth things out and the 1440p packs in enough pixel density to make things look crisp. I usually game on my PC, but the screen also works great for connecting my PS5. If it helps, I took my old 27” and turned it vertical to work in tandem with the widescreen. It’s nice having one screen in landscape and the other in portrait and they take up a relatively small footprint. That being said, I also put them on a dual monitor mount so that it looks clean.

I thought I could handle the smearing on VA until I actually owned one. The first time I saw it in a dark game scene I actually said “eww what the fuck” out loud. I’m sure some panels are better about it than others and mine was cheap, but I agree with your assessment. Only caveat to your recommendations is OLED is amazing for pure gaming but not my choice for mixed productivity work because you can only do so much to eliminate text fringing.
