I'm currently looking at swapping out my Acer Predator XB281HK (4k Gsync) for a monitor that will do both Freesync and Gsync. I've narrowed my choices to the following models:
My main dithering points are, with the 27UK850 you have a higher-resolution IPS screen, but with the EX3501R you're getting an ultrawide display with higher refresh rate. The difference in price between models is close to negligible for me.
I'm not a huge twitch FPS player (and never play competitively). I generally play adventure and RTS games like AC: Odyssey, Stellaris, Kingdom Come, Far Cry 3/4/5, Skyrim, Xcom 2, Total War games. Apart from that, it's general internet browsing, some spreadsheets, inVision, CS wireframing, and RDP-ing into my office machine.
What would you get?
- LG 27UK850 - 4k IPS HDR 60hz (although may be possible to OC to 75hz)
- BenQ EX3501R - Ultrawide WQHD HDR 100hz
