Can't decide which gaming monitor to buy.

[smekera]

Hello Tom's Hardware community. I am currently looking for a new gaming monitor and I have found a few options which I like. The first two monitors are 16:9 the Asus ROG Swift PG279Q and the Acer Predator XB271HU. My third option is the 21:9 Acer XR342C. I would be very grateful if you guys can help me decide which of these options or a different option would be a good purchase for a gaming monitor.

Okay for one, I hope you have that kind of money for one of these choices. and two... Why do you need one of these? (I am just curious)

I am looking for the best possible gaming monitor around 700-800£. I won't be asking if I can't afford them.

Okay you didn't fully answer my question, what do you need it for, as in what games you play the most? Because i can't just pick one that's best for me, I have to be in your shoes and then give you my opinion. If it's all around gaming, since they're all 4 ms monitor, which is good, I would choose Asus ROG Swift PG279Q Because, mostly for me, i like height adjustment. Also you could have two of those side by side and have minimal gap. And plus it looks the best.

I mainly play CS GO, Overwatch, GTA V, and racing simulators like Forza Horizon 3. Probably the high refresh rate on the two 16:9 monitors would be nice for the shooters? Also I don't know how well games are optimised when it comes to the 21:9 ultrawide Acer monitor.

High refresh rates is good, but responce times is better, the lower the better. 1ms being the best.
