Appreciate the details. But I’m consciously giving up a dual monitor setup. I don’t even use the second one anymore.

I agree ultrawide monitors aren’t as well supported, that’s a valid concern.
But the solution is not to buy a 4K monitor instead. That’s roughly twice the pixels to power with that GPU. That I know won’t be a balanced match.
Awesome, thanks!
29" 21:9 at 1080p has about the same pixel density as 24" 16:9 at 1080p, which is what I’m using right now.
M34WQ is the flat IPS one, right? I asked about it in this thread but my question was about the weong monitor.
On your M34WQ, how is the antiglare coating, in your opinion? Is it as grainy and distracting as people claim it to be?
Oh I’m by no means a monitor snob. Took me two years to realize my IPS monitor wasn’t true 8 bit, but FRC instead haha.
I checked again and that antiglare complaint is about the M34WQ - flat, IPS version of your monitor. I mixed them up.
Appreciate the insight.
The benefits outside of games are half the reason I’m considering an ultra wide. I’m considering a 29" 1080p as a lesser choice, but am considering it regardless. That’s because I don’t exactly use my current second monitor. I’m fine with downsizing, but I’m also happy with a flashy big wide 34" monitor.
That’s what I needed. Thank you. I’ll upgrade the GPU sooner or later (probably later), I knew what I was getting myself into with 8GB of VRAM.
On the note of G34WQC, I’m eyeing that monitor among a few others. Is the antiglare coating really as grainy as some people claim it to be? Supposedly makes text look fuzzy on bright backgrounds.
I’m fully prepared to have to play some games in 16:9 if that’s the case. I naturally want to get the full experience where possible, but I’m ready to compromise.
My potential concern with lowering the resolution is the fact that 1080p and 1440p don’t align that well with one another. Bigger issue with text than with games, but I haven’t had a chance to see that supposed issue with my own eyes.
Thanks, I actually bought a monitor a few days ago, HP X34 - 3440x1440@165Hz. I’m getting 100fps+ in most games and can hit 165 in some. Definitely not a bad experience by any means and a huge upgrade over my old 1080p 75Hz monitor.
