32(31.5) inch 2k (2560x1440) panel for graphic work and movies

[xeon_fan]

Hi I search for monitor with following parameters:
- to fit next to AOC AG322QCX
- 31.5 inch (or 32) - or generally visible screen height as 392.256 mm (so may be ultra wide 38 inches with 21:9 ratio but to have screen height similar as AOC)
- 2k resolution (2560x1440) (or ultra wide so 3xxx x 1440)
- great viewing angles
- very good colour reproduction
- preferably IPS (may be VA too but with good viewing angles)
- g-sync would be great but I know it's not possible (I have nvidia card and 144hz free sync monitor :/)
- preferably flat (not curved)

So far I have found with ok price range:
- ASUS VA32AQ (IPS 10bit colour reproduction but only 250 cdm2)
- ACER EB321H (IPS & cheap)
- Philips 328P6AUBREB (IPS 10bit ,some implementation of HDR - 450 cd/m2)

not sure what other options are for VA panels.

Samsung C32HG70 or Samsung CF791

For VA panels, there's also the HP Omen 32. I have it and like it, although I don't know enough to say how it compares for color accuracy/reproduction.

Hi Jake Hall , both are very nice but C32 is too expensive (and is Free-Sync 144hz so I would pay premium for that but I already have it in AOC) and second is even more expensive and will not fit next to AOC - height difference)

I was strongly considering C32HG70 vs AOC AG322QCF but Samsung's price was killing my budget with 165% price of AOC.

Thanks for the input !

We're both waiting for the same monitors, in that case. Asus and Acer are both supposed to release their VA Panels, hopefully in the near future. They'll both cost a lot, though...

@Jake Hall
I'm not aware, could you provide additional info about plans of both companies?

 

[Jake Hall]

I believe Acer's models are the X27 & X35, and Asus PG27UQ or VQ & PG35VQ

Not my league I would go with samsung which has freesync 2 (hdr) but it was out of reach for me. Also I need 31.5 inch screen ,ips preferably with hdr

Well I went with budget version:
AOC Q3279VWF:
- 31.5 inch
- 2k (2560x1440)
- MVA panel
- 75hz with FreeSync
- cheap as hell
