Hey everyone, Been rocking both an ultrawide (Acer Predator X34 F3) and a 16:9 curved (MSI G321CQP E2) for a while now, and thought I'd share some thoughts on how they compare. Ultrawide is amazing for immersion, especially in games that support the 21:9 aspect ratio properly. The 3440x1440 resolution on the Acer Predator X34 F3 really shines here. For productivity though, sometimes the MSI G321CQP E2's 16:9 aspect ratio is better, especially if you're dealing with a lot of documents or software that isn't optimized for ultrawide. The 31.5" size is also really nice. Refresh rate wise, both are great. The 360Hz on the Predator X34 F3 is buttery smooth, while the 170Hz on the MSI G321CQP E2 is no slouch either. It really just depends on what you're playing and if your system can push those frames. Anyone else using both ultrawide and standard aspect ratio monitors? What are your experiences?
