October 9, 201510 yr Looking to get a new monitor, been hearing that the new wide screen are very good. Any suggestions on whats best? I have an I7 with GTX970 video card. Anthony Neumann
December 15, 201510 yr I'm gonna bump this topic... I'm about to pull the trigger on a system (as soon as the i7 6700 is back in stock on Newegg) and will be running a 980 TI. I initially was pretty sold on the 34'' Dell curved monitor but recently I've started to read mkre and more good things about 4k. If I went the 4k route, I'd probabky opt for the 40''. I see there is a 40'' curved Samsung model which would combine the best of both worlds, but it's a TV whixh I've read generally has a worse picture up close. Thoughts? Oh and I use TrackIR if that makes a difference.

Thanks, Ben I sit about 1 meter from a curved 65" Samsung 4K and the picture is very good, not perfect, but good enough to forget about quality and just get involved in the sim so I don't think you will have any complaints about a 40". Also a TV is going to give you much more vertical space than the widescreen of course. Those 34" widescreens are really very small in the vertical direction. The widescreen would be a better choice if you do more desktop work than simming. gb. YSSY.
