I disagree. I have an ultrawide and it's great for gaming. Typically the side images are for your peripheral vision anyways. The middle portion is what you'll see on a typical 16:9 screen. Playing lots of Warzone, the side profile definitely helps a lot in seeing the enemy before he can see you. 120% FOV set. Only issue I see is for games that has a lot of scrolling. Scrolling from side to side takes a bit of time like in league of legends.Hindenburg1 wrote: ↑ Ultra wide is not worth it for gaming. You have much more pixels spread out. An ultra wide 1440p monitor will basically be a 1080p resolution spread out. Plus you have to move your head too much when gaming.
Just stick with 27" for 1440p or 32" for 4k
This is exactly what I have (although I paid slightly more) but I've been using it for a couple of months now for productivity as well as gaming (FPS games only so far). I actually think it benefits in FPS because you're able to catch movement on the periphery, and with a wider FOV I've had a couple of instances where I'd catch someone rotating in a BR way over to the side that maybe normally I wouldn't have.Killmassacre wrote: ↑ I've tried a few gaming UW monitors and the DELL AW3420DW is my favorite. It has great colors, performance, build quality, quality control, and most importantly a very good warranty.
I got mine for $1014 tax in + $35 in rewards back in February (14% ebates + 10% off monitor + price adjustment + 3% rewards) so it's possible it could be had for ~$800 + tax on BF after you factor in discounts.
