Do you have an AMD graphics card or NVIDIA?
Due to the lack of so-called G-Sync certification, flickering may or may not appear in games if the G-Sync Compatible setting is enabled in GPU driver. If flickering occurs, it is recommended to use VRR instead of G-Sync Compatible. However, flickering is unlikely if a DP cable is used.
Hey All,
The monitor I was about to purchase unfortunately went off boxing day sale, and I was wondering if this monitor, with similar specifications and adaptive sync would be on a similar level: Philips Evnia 34M2C3500L 34'' WQHD 180Hz Fast VA Curved Gaming monitor - JB Hi-Fi. Here is the original one I was going to purchase: Asus TUF VG34VQ3B 34" WQHD 180Hz QHD Curved Wide Gaming Monitor - JB Hi-Fi.
Yes , the Philips has similar specs and would work fine. 
Sorry for the endless questions, however I have decided to just put up with my subpar monitor for now, and wait until I can afford a better monitor. I noticed you mentioned having a 4K monitor, however those usually come in a 3840 x 2160 resolution, which is in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Wouldn’t 21:9 be a better ratio as seen in 1440p ultrawide monitors? Do they make 4K ultrawide monitors, and if so are they worth buying. Long story short, what resolution to get?
Ultrawide monitors have so far mostly been available in 1440p resolution, there are no 4K ultrawides on the market to date.
LG have 2 4K ultrawides due out this year - both 49in, one bendable and one with a fixed curve - just shown at CES2025. Refresh rate and pricing were not announced yet, as far as I can see.
If you have the space, the PC to run it and you really want a 4K ultrawide, I’m sure other manufacturers will be announcing similar screens soon - after all, a lot of them buy the basic panels from LG Display to create their own implementations.
Personally I have the MSI MPG321URX QD-OLED 32in 4K, and it is superb. It fits the space I have available and is the best display quality I’ve ever seen. There are a lot of built-in features to mitigate against OLED burn-in which is something to look out for, and a 3 year warranty that covers this specific risk.
That is going to be user preference and very subjective. I prefer the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio. Going with an ultrawide also may necessitate a curved monitor, depending on physical size and how far away you’ll sit from it.
Newer smart TVs actually do 4096x2160, though Windows defaults them to 3840 (probably to avoid problems with people who own fake (3840) “4k” displays.
The picture looks nicer running at their native resolution - no black 128 px sidebars on either side.
My Samsung 55" Qled will do 4096x2160 and I’ve selected it several times in the sim and it looked really good. I never thought Windows was cutting it down to 3840x2160 though - I’ll have to try it again.
