The Acer Z301CT would fit the bill, it's basically ultrawide version of what you currently have.
Same height and pixel density but 200Hz, G-Sync, ULMB etc. 2560x1080 wouldn't be too hard on a 1060 either.

Too bad it is utterly overpriced Laughing I mean 800-900$ lol that is more expensive than some bigger FreeSync models with 100HZ and higher res
It's not even the eyetracking that is so expensive (there is also a version without), there's at least a 200$ G-Sync premium and then another ~100$ for the native 200Hz (in addition to the regular high refresh rate premium) Another 50 bucks for eyetracking and 50 more for the stupid curve.


Pretty neat but seems overpriced. it's 70cm width which is exactly how much I have inbetween speakers now. I guess I could even move speakers apart few more centimeters apart so I guess 30'' ultrawide amva would fit and still have few centimeters of space to speakers.

Motherfucker why did you planted this thought in my head Laughing And even res 2560x1080 seems only a bit harder to drive than 1080p but not as 1440p... It's just wider version of my monitor with gsync, 200hz and all that stuff. Imagine playing half life 2 on this Crying or Very sad
I hate You because I think ultrawide is stupid bullshit with no compatibility and also curved screens are stupid.. and apparently I am stupid too Laughing

I am a person who likes to dim the lights and immerse myself rather than to be competitive. So VA, surrounded by wide stupid screen, smooth gsync... Crying or Very sad

edit: So far it's the only va/amva 21:9 I've found too. There is also some cheaper AOC but it's MVA.
And look at this great ad for some 21:9 Lg I've found when looking through online shop...

Yeah it's the one I would probably get if my monitor were to die suddenly and since I'll probably stay with Team Green mid range cards for the next round so I'd rather have G-Sync. (yet switching to AMD is becoming more tempting with such a limited and overpriced selection of G-Sync displays)

But not even remotely for that price. Closer to 400-500€ it would be a good deal but that is rather unrealistic. Also have to acknowledge that HDR is looming in the future, how much sense does it make to get an 8-bit, standard gamut monitor at such a price these days.

For the games that have problems with 21:9, just use 16:9 with black bars, you get a 24'' 1080 display again. If it has no blb/glow then the black bars aren't very annoying.

HDR gaming is not going to be here fast enough without real 10bit oled panels. There are those new samsung screens just as expensive as that acer but qled technology and bad text sharpness.

Edit: i researched a bit - Acer apparently ghosts a lot.

Pretty much every game has 21:9 support these days (only "cinematic" japanese shit ports seems to not have this), if not then someone has made it work with Flawless Widescreen application (even games like Evil Within). What goes for curved screens, it is awesome at 34" size, it is really that good on ultrawide, flat screen looks so bad at 21:9 (curve also helps shitloads on IPS glow, if you happen to use IPS panel).

OK so let's say I an dropping g-sync and 2k resolutions and accept 21:9 2560 or 1080p at 27''.

There is this one:
ASUS ROG Strix XG27VQ 27-Inch 144Hz Curved. It is AMVA

It's pretty new but it's one of only VA panels with 27/1080 144hz. So it's like mine but bigger and faster... I need to check out some tests for ghosting. It being VA it's probably trash. But then again - I don't only play games, so good contrast would be great

You think you would be happy with a 82 ppi display? Weren't you always complaining about aliasing in games? I tried a 27'' 1080p once and everything seemed too large, zoomed in and aliased.

On a 92+ ppi display its enough to slap some SMAA on it and it usually gets rid of all but some temporal aliasing in 99% of cases. This didn't really work on the lower ppi display when I tried.

At 24'' 1080p, non-TN, high refresh you have only the old FG2421, the C24FG70/FG73 and a cheap MSI G24c which apparently isn't available in Europe. There are no IPS options at all. Majority of 1080p options are at 27'', that's how it currently is. Alternative would be to go 1440p FreeSync (27'' or 32'') but then you should really prepare to get an AMD card for VRR because the framerates will drop more often.

No matter what you decide, you won't be happy I can tell you that Laughing Would rather just get a CFG70 for 280€, pray for a model with only little purple overshoot and call it a day. Or maybe just overclock your current display to 75Hz and save up the money for future upgrades.

You are complety right. I know You are Crying or Very sad

The market is so much more complicated with all sync techs and fast framerates than even 2 years ago, when I got my iiyama.
Back then I wanted 24 inch, 1080p display with better black levels than I had on dell IPS(it was also yellow).
First I got Benq gw2480h which was amva, new, not yet reviewed panel. Fantastic uniformity and contrast... But trailing was crazy (and purple).
I returned it after 3 days and got Iiyama, since they just released it's b2 revision which also nobody reviewed but which is using the exact same panel as that Benq.
So I've tried it and uniformity was almost as good. Iiyama's implementation of overdrive is way better and purple trailing was all gone with only some ghosting left. Quite much left but less than terrible Benq.
Not to say that Iiyama is perfect in all other ways - I don't think it looks too good(build quality). Bugs and dust get under the screen sometimes and ghosting is still there. But the contrast and black levels are good and that's what I am looking at when I am a content viewer and I want to immerse in games/media rather than be competitive.

Back to today:
At 24'' consider only 1080p or 2k. Both only with gsync. Without it, even gtx 1080 would have trouble running games at 144hz in future. At this segment, there are only TN panels with gsync. There are no ips or va gsync monitors at 24''. No matter what resolution. And best(out of TN) is probably Dell S2417DG.

At 27'' only 2k matters. And there are just none 2k VA screens with gsync. So that leaves it with 2k IPS or 2k TN at 27'' which there are plenty off... very expensive(even TN like Dell s2716dg).
Overall - fuck Nvidia for not supporting freesync.

Even if I stayed @60hz, 1080p, 24 inch, then there are probably no better monitors than my Iiyama for my needs. Also - shame there are no normal monitors like mine but when gsync. I am doing fine with 60vsync and limiting with rtss at 60 anyway.

That samsung C24FG70/FG73 is still very interesting. It might be the only monitor(60 or 144hz) with better picture quality than mine. It does not have gsync but people say to enable low monitor blur mode which disables sync anyway... It's not that expensive. Maybe I can give it a try. At worst it will be similar to my amva screen but with 144hz and low persistance mode. Frame pacing on this would be so shit probably Laughing
Not sure if I want to trouble myself with any of that but thanks for help. I think I have some more insight in fucked monitor industry now grinhurt

How about just 27 inch 2560x1440 ips ? Just normal 60hz. I am always playing with some night lamp in the room so I never view the monitor in all dark room...
There are ips 144hz gaming options like viewsonic xg2703 gs that seem excellent but its just so damn expensive.

Given your graphical preferences in the threads, I would without a doubt recommend the 60hz ips option, faster hz etc. backlight strobe / XXX-sync or blur reducing technologies will be absolutely wasted here.

Also to save some serious dollars for excellent quality, (Actually may not be viable for Europeans) import a korean IPS as described here: https://www.monitornerds.com/best-korean-monitors-cheap/. I've seen quite a few of these in person and can vouch that they are the real deal, some savings are staggering like 50%-70% less than real deal with difference being a shitty stand or something you can fix.

Not sure about the whole korean thingy. I prefer to have warranty

I wonder if 1440p 60hz is too much for my 1060... Probably new games will not be able to hit 60 and this is where gsync would help.

Anyway. What are good ips monitors currently?

Last one I had was u2312hm. It was good except for terrible glow. I don't remember it ghosting or anything though...

There is no such thing as good monitors these days, its all pure panel lottery, friend had fight with Dell (he needed to RMA like 5 times hes moinitor until good panel appeared). Its pretty unbeliavable what kind of shit goes through monitor manufacturers "quality control", this doesnt even change after 1000 euro ++ monitors.

Lol i have that monitor, and another 144hz next to it.

The LG has really good color reproduction, but the 75hz feels jittery as fuck, don't buy it for that. Color reproduction is amazing tho.
I've got a 144hz Acer with the TN panel, and while i can definitely feel an improvement when playing most competitive FPS games, the color reproduction is absolute shit, like absolute SHIT.

Pros and Cons, eh. My ultrawide is currently collecting dust tho, as i mostly play on 144hz. It feels amazing for the most part, but i drool when i look over at my girlfriends computer on the 4k 55" tv.

Many of the 75Hz monitors with FreeSync support are skipping frames on Nvidia cards and will only work properly on AMD.
Real 75Hz isn't supposed to be jittery, while not comparable to 100-144Hz, it's still a noticeable improvement from 60Hz. It's 1.25 times the content displayed per second.

Even with a strap attached to your head try to look at orange or yellow surface on a 27'' TN. It will be dark on top, and washed out on bottom even if you hold perfectly still and centered.



It's less of an issue at smaller sizes, there's a reason the S2417DG is so popular as well. It also has 165Hz and better overdrive than the bigger brother. But it's rather small and pixel density is very high if used without scaling

Yes theses are hard to come by. But I hate apple like design anyway... and none of those even have adjustable height stand. fuck this.

How is stuff like dell u2717d?
And what about 4k ? It scales for 1080p 4:1, so it should be good for 4k and 1080p. That;s like built in dsr Laughing

In your dreams maybe. None of the 4k monitors scale 1080p properly so it will always have that interpolated, mushy look. Go native or bust. Surprised

Anyway - what about u2717d or similar ips in 24-27 inch ?

Btw. do g sync ips monitors have worse screen quality when g sync is enabled? I've seen opinion that g sync lowers colors from 8 to 6 bit.. so this would again introduce banding
