Currently rocking two 1440p 27" monitors. My job is offering me $500 for home office improvements, so I’m looking at swapping one for a 34" 21:9 ultrawide. My brother got a LG 34GP83A-B two years ago and loves it. Is that still the best option? It’d be used mostly for programming, but I like to play a variety of games here and there. Looked at a few newer Dell Ultrasharps but they’re more expensive and reviews say their bad for gaming due to motion blur.

    Don’t have much experience with Ultrawide, but I do know some games don’t properly support Ultrawide. This might not be an issue though.

      Yeah, mostly just want the ultrawide for work. Don’t game super frequently, but don’t want it to be a blurry mess when I do

    Many games need to be played at 16:9 as ultrawide goes beyond your peripheral vision. You likely will need to react to new information appearing at the sides, which you won’t notice on ultrawide settings.
