Thoughts - 34 inch 1440p v 43 inch 1200p monitor

F1Aussie · Nov 30, 2020

Hi all I am looking to do a monitor upgrade from my 34 inch 2560 X 1080 monitor to either a 34 inch 1440p or a 43 inch 1200p.

With the space I have 43 inch is the maximum I can fit in but I am torn between the two. I like the idea of 1440p but being the same size as my current monitor would it really be much of an upgrade?

I like the idea of the extra size of the 43 inch monitors but at 1200p the resolution is lower.

Not sure which way to go, all thoughts would be appreciated. I am running a RTX 3090.

Cheers

I went from a 27" 16:9 1440 to a 34" 21:9 1440 and it was worth it. Are both 34's 16:9? You may not want to go an ultrawide because from top to bottom it will be narrower.

I definitely love the curved ultrawide. About as big as I can get since the monitor is close to my wheel.

43" size is cool (I have triple 43" 4k), but 1200p would be miserable. 1440p on a 34" monitor is good.

My current one is a curved ultrawide too, I love those screens.

Thanks for the comments guys. I think I might go for the one below. It is 34 inch like my current one but has HDR, 1ms gtg, display port 1.4, 1440p with 109 PPI which is even higher than a 43inch 4k and it reviews very well and is bloody cheap too!
