Ultrawide monitors deliver a much more immersive gaming experience than standard 16:9 monitors.
Although not quite as immersive as VR headsets, ultrawide monitors allow you to see more of
your surroundings without constantly having to move around, and they're extremely well-suited
for first-person games. Gamers will find that the wider screen will make diving into the
best PC games.
in this video, we will take a look at what I think are the best ultrawide gaming monitors
of 2021. To see the most up to date prices and find
out more information about these ultrawide monitors, you can check out the links in the
description below
Before we start, please guys let me know down below in the comments, How was your first
encounter with an ultrawide monitor. Since the ultrawide monitors, are quite expensive
first we starting with the Best Budget Choice, the Acer Nitro XV340CK
The 34-inch monitor from Acer comes equipped with an impressive IPS panel that showcases
all the traits you could want from a high-performance gaming monitor. With a fast 144Hz refresh
rate paired alongside a low 1ms (VRB) response time, the XV340CK offers greater specs than
many of its rivals. And I'm not going to lie it comes with quite the bargain price.
The monitor offers up a slender profile that definitely adds to the premium feel of this
panel. Thin bezels provide a near-borderless design that definitely adds to the overall
immersion of this panel. The bottom bezel is the largest of the four and showcases the
Acer logo in the center. On the right-hand side, users will see a small LED that shines
blue when the monitor is active. The Acer XV340CKP offers accurate and vivid
colors, wide viewing angles, and crisp details thanks to its 34″ 3440×1440 IPS panel while
the 144Hz refresh rate, low input lag, good response time speed, and AMD FreeSync ensure
buttery-smooth gaming performance. There are plenty of additional features including an
ergonomic design and extensive connectivity options. Some users might find the low brightness
and the flat screen to be a deal-breaker though. The UW-QHD screen on the Acer Nitro is great
as an all-rounder due to its pixel density and the space that comes with it. You get
more room for your workflow and apps, while games will look sharp and expansive if they
support the ultrawide native resolution. It also doesn’t miniaturize text too much,
so most will not struggle with reading and browsing even if scaling isn’t used.
Next on the list, as the Best Curved under-1000$ we have, the LG 34GN850
The LG UltraGear 34GN850 is part of a growing UltraGear gaming line-up of monitors from
LG, offering high resolutions, ultra-fast response times, and top-notch refresh rates.
A monitor of this size and type is never going to blend into the background, but despite
its size, the LG UltraGear 34GN850 never feels overly flashy – a hint of red plastic around
the back and on the V-wing stand, and the white LG logo on the front are the only variations
on black. The monitor responds instantly to any connections you hook up and drops to a
power-saving mode when there's nothing to show.
For gaming and movie watching, the monitor impresses, especially in terms of brightness,
color balance, and the lack of lag or ghosting. The LG packs a Nano-IPS panel (LG’s spin
on Quantum Dots) with 3440 x 1440 resolution. LG promises a DCI-P3 color space coverage
of 98%. The wide color gamut creates a rich image that is truly satisfying but be warned.
Your old displays will look quite flat once you’re used to this wide gamut.
The static contrast ratio is limited to just 1000:1, as it always has been for IPS.
Overall, the LG 34GN850 is an excellent high-end ultrawide monitor and makes meaningful improvements
to its siblings.
Next, we have the Best Overall, one and it is none other than, the Samsung Odyssey Neo
G9 The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is an absolute
monster of a gaming monitor and packs some of the most impressive techs I've ever seen
in a PC display. The Samsung S49AG95 Odyssey Neo G9 is the
anticipated upgraded version of the popular Samsung Odyssey G9.
It maintains the same 49″ 5120×1440 240Hz 1ms VA key specifications but replaces the
underwhelming 10-zone local dimming system with an impeccable mini LED 2048-zone FALD
solution for a drastic improvement in HDR image quality.
Samsung also equipped the Neo G9 with a superfast 240 Hz maximum refresh rate plus NVIDIA G-SYNC
and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, technologies that provide gamers with smooth, low latency
video and compatibility with the latest high-end video cards.
Because the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 isn't just big and it's not just a high resolution, it's
also brighter and more colorful than anything you've probably ever seen. And, when you combine
that with the high refresh rate, it's kind of a piece of gaming heaven that you'll definitely
want to be part of. But with that high refresh rate and the high resolution, you definitely
should have one monster of gaming PC to use all those features to its fullest.
Overall, the Samsung S49AG95 offers an incredible gaming experience thanks to its giant 49″
curved screen with high resolution and fast response time.
HDR content is breath-taking as the 2048-zone mini LED FALD solution allows for stellar
brightness and high contrast ratio with minimal blooming or other visual artifacts.
Best Design we have, the ASUS Designo MX38VC ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC is a large computer
display, with an elegant design, that aims to impress users.
Designo is basically an UltraWide 37.5-Inch monitor with a 21:9 aspect ratio. It was launched
as part of the designo product range that is quite known for offering unique designs
and it actually shows it perfectly. There's a silver-colored bezel along with a round
base that actually includes a wireless charger What makes this Monitor standout from its
competitors is, that it doesn't have any buttons. Instead, below the Asus logo, you will find
a joystick that is used to navigate the screen menu.
Due to its speaker system and the (almost) 4K resolution, you get to enjoy high-resolution
multimedia experiences too. 4K movies look great, and while it doesn't have a high refresh
rate, it is not a wrong choice for gaming either. This is not a display for everyone,
but those who can afford it are going to enjoy using it.
ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC is a 37.5" ultra-wide monitor, with a 21:9 aspect ratio, and a maximum
resolution of 3840x1600 pixels (4K on the horizontal, and slightly fewer pixels on the
vertical). It uses an IPS non-glare panel, with a response time of 5 ms, a maximum brightness
of 300 cd/m2, a contrast ratio of 1000:1, and a viewing angle of 178 degrees, both horizontally
and vertically. The curvature of the panel is 2300R, meaning that it is rather subtle
and equal to that of a circle with a radius of 2.3 meters. The refresh rate varies between
52 and 75 Hz. Like I said earlier, It is not as high as that offered by gaming monitors,
but it does have support for the Radeon FreeSync technology meaning the games will look quite
nice. Last on the list, we have a unique ultrawide
monitor, the SAMSUNG CHG90 - Best Display Samsung’s C49HG90 gaming monitor was the
first 49″ 32:9 display available. It’s the predecessor to the popular Samsung CRG9
and the Samsung Odyssey G9. The Samsung CHG90 is a 49″ 3840×1080 144Hz
super-ultrawide curved gaming monitor with FreeSync Premium Pro and DisplayHDR 600 support.
the screen has a 1800R curvature for added immersion, there are blue LEDs at the back
of the monitor, the bezels are ultra-thin, and there’s a matte anti-glare coating that
eliminates reflections. Its huge screen with high contrast and vibrant
colors makes for an immersive viewing and gaming experience,
As a gaming monitor, the Samsung CHG90 delivers a unique experience that can’t be duplicated
by any other display. It has ample speed thanks to a 144Hz refresh rate and FreeSync 2, plus
very low input lag. Color is excellent thanks to a quantum dot backlight and accurate DCI-P3
native gamut. The VA panel and zone-dimming make a real difference with HDR and SDR content
alike. Entertainment-focused users will want to give this monitor a serious look.
Up against its rivals, Samsung still wins a few fights with its QLED technology and
144Hz refresh rate, whereas his rival only utilizes IPS panels that max out on a capped
Hz. There’s just something magical about sitting
in front of all of the Samsung CHG90’s spectacular pixels. Thanks to Samsung QLED, colors are
richly represented without being blown out, and blacks are as dark as the night sky.
The panel’s quick 144Hz refresh rate is an extra cherry that makes this high-resolution
screen even perfect for gaming as well as just watching your windows move around with
perfect smoothness. Thanks for watching! I hope you found this
