love my 34" ultra wide lg gsync monitor 2560x1080 (sad), but i always hate when a game dont support such ratio. was thinking to change it to a regular 4k 16:9 ips but i think i cant go back. probably my next monitor is a 1440p ultra wide, those LG Ultra Gear looks great.
Here with a 21:9 IPS LG, 2560x1080.
34 inch is perfect for that resolution.
Great for gaming, but some games are locked at 16:9
For work and Adobe, superb
Yeah I'm in the same boat. Running an oldish 34in 85ppi 21:9, IPS 144Hz LG.
Bumping up to 39in 142ppi 5k2k, oled 165Hz would be a huge upgrade.
Those retinal displays are really really tempting though for the beautiful ppi. But tbh I don't know how well those crazy resolutions would even perform in games. Your desktop background would look heavenly, but most game engines would probably grind to a stop. Not to mention the lack of ultrawide.
If i have to choose like you in similar case I'd go for 57". I used to be gamer before I became a dev and for past 3 years I've been gaming maybe in total 50 hours. Current I use dual monitor setup -> 34" LG ultragear and 24" 1080p. If I have the money I'd take as much as possible more wider screen than caring that much for gaming.
I use the LG ultragear 34". I'm not sure if it's the exact same model that you say is not in stock. It's the best monitor Ive I've had though, so I'd say it's worth doing some digging.
I tried some VA panels, and they had the dreaded VRR/AdaptiveSync flicker issue that so many get. I've heard OLEDs get them too. I'd never go back to gaming without VRR, especially at high refresh rates. The one I returned before getting the LG even flickered on the desktop sometimes. IPS hardly ever has that issue.
