hello guys, my current display set up now is 42" 1080p led tv as main display and an old 32" 720p lcd tv as second display. my old lcd, though still working fine, has shown some degradation to the image quality (some block stains, i have no idea what it is called) and just feel pretty old.
at first, i was thinking to swap it with 32" 1080p led tv, but then i came across to this ultra wide monitor. since im using pc at normal distance, sometimes i find 42" a bit too much, like i need to move my head to look things across the screen. im now thinking to get this wide monitor as my main display, 42" as secondary and will give 32" to relatives who need or something. most if not all films i watch are still in 16:9 format so i cant dump my 42" just yet.
will i see big improvement in terms of image quality from 42" tv to the wide monitor? the monitor im interested is the LG UM65 series, comes in 3 size 25" 29" and 34". im more inclined to get the 34" one as the jump from 42" wont be too great, because im afraid i will feel discouraged on how small it is. the resolution though, is only 1080p and i see people say 1080p will feel stretched on 34". so is it bad? or any other models you guys can recommend me? the 1440p ones are much more expensive and i dont feel like spending a display near my rig price, sadly.. i blame dollar exchange rate keep increasing in my country.
i use my pc on daily basis for browsing, watching movies, and play mmo games. and yes, the game i play supports the 21:9 ratio and it looks stunning, hence brought me here to ask u guys if its worth it, as its not cheap stuffs and i dont want to regret it later.
my rig spec is just an i5 and nvidia 970 btw, might not be able to play some games at 1440p also i fear.
tldr; is LG 34" UM65 worth it for the money?
