If you are into competitive gaming and demand better response times. VA isn't as bright as IPS, honestly. I have a dual monitor work-setup (both 1440p) and want to replace one with an ultra-wide. So it really doesn't matter much for me TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When in doubt, go for higher refresh rates. I would go for a 240hz panel anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if available, expect to pay OLED TV rates for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LG one is 75Hz and the other Acer one is 144Hz.

IIRC its for 1.5L and I have seen its colors in person. Its a beast of a monitor, both in performance and price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 The downside of Ultrawide is, once you got UW there is no going back. Too good of an experience to go back to shitty 16:9. Also, streams and some JP games don't have basic UW support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of screen space while keeping the consistency is very nice to have. On top of that, you don't have to deal with a bezel or extra wires/stand or inconsistency across 2 monitors. Entertainment side - streams (Netflix/twitch/youtube etc) don't support UW resolution but it didn't bother me after getting used to and again, so much screen space I just watch streams on window mode while checking other stuff on the side. Movies and gaming is a fantastic experience with better immersion. TV shows also you can adjust the aspect ratio manually if you want or else you will have black bars.

It practically non-existent as far as full screen videos are concerned. The bleed is noticeable only when black color appears in that corner and when there are black bars on top and bottom of the video, but that’s hard to notice because you have to actively draw your attention to upper right corner to notice it I have the chance to replace the monitor before 24th December. I am afraid if I replace there’s a chance that the bleed may be worse in the replacement panel. What should I do? @l33tmaniac said that I should keep the one I got as Acer/IPS panels would invariably have some bleed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swunkjyn Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 For those of you, if the app is not working the game can be had from their Website too. Tried it myself and its working, was able to add the game. The App is still down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
