February 6, 20197 yr Moderator @Buzz71, before you visit retailers download some high quality images from the web and put them on a USB stick. Make sure they’re JPGs. 3840*2160, 3840*1600 and 3840*1440. Then ask the shop to show each depending on the resolution of the monitor you’re assessing. This is a good site. https://photocdm.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Calibration.jpg Ray (Cheshire, England).

February 6, 20197 yr Moderator @pete_auau, with a 1080Ti you’ll have no problems. Your CPU seems to be missing a number. i7-8700K perhaps? And that link doesn’t work. Ray (Cheshire, England).

February 6, 20197 yr 10 hours ago, Buzz71 said: Is that the Dell Ultrasharp U3818DW? Yes. The resolution is 3840 x 1600. Basically its like a 47" 4k monitor cut in half. Which is another reason I bought it over a 34", more resolution. If you do go for a 34" do NOT get the 1080p ones to save money, the image will be stretched and text will look horrible. They have one at my local Costco and they look nothing like my 38". But like others have said if you can go look at a few before you buy, then you can make up your on mind. What I did was bring a laptop with me and plug in to different size monitors to make a better decision.

The 34 inch ultra wides lack just enough vertical screen area to be annoying. Check out an Acer XR382CQK. Great sim monitor. LG 38’s I have heard are good but I have no personal experience with one. So I went in tonight and the retailer didn’t have many but they did have the Acer in both 34 and 38 inch models. I’m sold on the 38 - the extra height was noticeable and looked great. So it’s really a decision between that or the LG. Assuming my 1070 with run both of them. Unfortunately they are FreeSync not Gsync monitors.

Unfortunately they are FreeSync not Gsync monitors. Nvidia with its latest drivers allows for FreeSync compatibility. I’m not totally convinced with its implementation though. When I have time today I will give it a try and report back. Edited February 8, 20197 yr by mpw8679 Matt Wilson
