Cheapest offer for this monitor yet (solely for gaming, not ideal for content creation)

Yes I know this is 1080p and not 1440p, but note:
1. This monitor is IPS 144hz refresh rate (OC to 166hz). This is solely for gamers who prefer high refresh rates (not content creation).
2. If you do decide a 1440p is the one for you (say Acer Predator x34P 100hz (120hz OC), that will cost upwards of $1150 (also from Ebay sales, not retail). That is also locked at 120hz maximum with OC. The price difference may be justified for some, but I cannot justify this based on spending $400 more for gaming at higher resolution, but lower refresh rates.
3. If you do decide to wait for the new ultrawides (1440p with 144hz, OC to 200hz) note that a 1080ti (I have the STRIX ROG) will not be able to hit those refresh rates if you game on 1440p. You would have to tune it down to 1080p to hit those refresh rates if you want smoother gameplay. Ofcourse those monitors will be ideal for content creation and gaming, this is a comparison for gaming only.
4. All the youtube reviews I have seen so far, do not recommend this monitor, but know that that is based on it being used for both content creation and gaming, if you are looking for a gaming only, this would be my first choice. I find gaming at say 1080p at 144hz to be much better gaming experience than 1440p at 100hz (also cheaper).

    You would prefer 1080p 144hz g sync rather than 1440p 144hz g sync even if you had an rtx 2080? (This is the GPU I plan on buying).could you elaborate more? Even if i dont get 144.fps st 1440p, would i notice the difference between say me hitting 110fps compared to 144?

    • MeateaW on 19/11/2018 - 14:56

      It is a weird statement by OP, you get gsync because you can't consistently hit the base refresh rate.

      If you could consistently hit 144hz in everything then why bother with gsync?

      Bit of a chicken and egg.

      (If you are paying 1200 on GPU, why not spend equally on monitor, if you are going a 2070 class GPU then maybe get the lower res monitor?).

      Don't need to claim one is better than the other for subjective reasons. This monitor is great for its price, stick to that! (Assuming it's a good price, IDK)

        @ MeateaW

        On the latest games 1080p I will consistently hit more than 110 to 120fps depending on the game. Some games will be consistently 166fps on OC. On 1440p I will be around the 80 to 100 range. So my statement was that I prefer to game at higher refresh rate as compared to lower refresh rates. Yes G-sync does smooth out the game, again this is my personal preference. You or others may have your own preference.

        In terms of why not spend more on the monitor if I spent more on the card? I also game at 4K @ 60Hz. I never hit 60 fps consistently. No doubt the game looks amazing, but I prefer a higher refresh rate for my other option. This is also a personal preference.

        In my statement I never said one is better than the other, I said what I prefer over the other, it is your money hence your decision on what you prefer. If you would rather get the x34p, great, it is a very good monitor, better than the LG, but comes with the price tag.

        • ozbjunkie on 19/11/2018 - 19:10

          Yep, what you say is true. Which is why I play faster paced games on a 240hz 1080p monitor.

          I'd rather high fps than more pixels any day. I still have a 4k for slower games though.

          What games do you play on this 34? It's too big for fps games don't you think?

      1080 ti is slightly better than the 2080.

      https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2080-vs-Nvi…

      so a 2080 would also not be able to hit 144hz on 1440p but yes maybe 110 depending on the game.

      In terms of your question of noticing a difference on 110, that depends on what you are currently gaming at, if it is 60hz then yes you will notice a difference from 60 to 110. Generally, going from 100fps to 144fps is noticeable, so going from 110 to 144 may or may not be noticeable depending on the gamer.

      • Major Mess on 19/11/2018 - 16:06

        Maybe in some non-gaming applications, but I have not seen many comparisons of the factory overclocked RTX 2080's vs 1080ti's. Wouldn't better gaming be an advantage over a possible negligible productivity advantage for most users?

        • TanTheMan on 19/11/2018 - 16:13

          @ Major Mess

          True I have also not seen a gaming comparison of the two cards yet. For a graphics card, if one has better gaming advantages over the other it is generally better, but I do not expect to see a great deal of difference between the 1080ti vs 2080 atleast. Maybe in the rage of 5%. Will wait and see.

          Ofcourse the RTX card do have some advantages like ray tracing over the 1080Tis. Again will have to wait and see how much of a cost difference is justified by the performance upgrades.

            @TanTheMan: The RTX performs better in gaming and uses less power while doing so. I was saying that the 1080ti may have a negligible performance increase in some non gaming applications(but don't know of specifics). That is countering the comment above that claims the 1080ti is better at gaming. Ray tracing is appears to only be useable for the RTX 2080ti and sucks two thirds of the cards frame rate, and will probably become a "thing" in two generations time. But that is only from the result of BF V, and other games may do better. It may be OK with single player games where the visuals are OK to trade off for frame rate.

            Check out the reviews/benchmarks from Hardware Unboxed(Aussie reviewers) on youtube.

      • Sopzo on 19/11/2018 - 19:01

        Use real life benchmarks, not that website with synthetic benchmarks.

      1440p is substantially better looking than 1080p and detail can be seen at greater "3D distance", regardless of refresh rate, especially for single player. That said I would never want to go below 80Hz again.

      100Hz is fine and is night and day compared to 60Hz. The argument that current graphics cards cannot reach high frame rates can be countered by dropping from say ultra, to high settings etc. Technology will continue to improve and in a couple of years it will be moot anyway. So if you are intending to get a new monitor in a year or two, the cost of whatever monitor you choose is not a high priority.

      I can't afford to buy a monitor now for faster sync that I don't need compared to resolution I can use. I will wait for a 1440p/1600p 100HZ+ knowing I will be able to take advantage of new GPU's. Adaptive sync has become a non-issue with nvidia and AMD now offering "enhanced" sync, and how well it works to remove tearing.

      • TanTheMan on 19/11/2018 - 16:31

        @ Major Mess

        Yes I play at 4K @ 60Hz as well, and it does look fantastic, but on a 1080ti I cannot reach 60fps. So no doubt the 1440p is better than 1080p. Thats my reason to go to 1080p at 144hz, as I have experienced the 4K at 60hz, and find I rather have the 144hz than 4k.

        Agree the 1440p at 144hz will be fantastic, but I too cannot afford those expected to be around $2000 maybe if not more? So I compromise and wait.

    • TsunamiInTheHouse on 19/11/2018 - 17:14

      Gsync/freesync = ideal if fps is lower than the refreah rate of monitor.

      It all depends on what games you will play.

      I have a gsync monitor and while i know the benefits i cant completely justify the purchase as needed.

      Gsync/freesync is great for fps games and action packed rpgs,(to stop screen tearing) but otherwise not important.

      If the gsync $$ premium is the difference between a 2080 and a 2080ti, just get a regular 144hz

  • Heero on 19/11/2018 - 15:41

    If I were going to drop $760 on a gaming monitor I'd expect it to be future proof. For $100 more I can get a 27" 1440p 144Hz IPS monitor; and if my current GPU is unable to push those frames, then maybe two years from now my new GPU would.

    • TanTheMan on 19/11/2018 - 16:42

      LOL the eternal cycle, gpu not adequate then buy new, then monitor not adequate then buy new and on and on it goes, part of being a gamer.

      I was actually comparing ultrawide monitors, but yes the 27 inch ones are another option in the price range.

      Games in the future will be more demanding, and the 1080ti will not be able to achieve 144hz on 1080p, so thats where g-sync comes into play.

    34 inch 1080p must look like shit

    1. All the youtube reviews I have seen so far, do not recommend this monitor,

    Lol no kidding

    • TanTheMan on 19/11/2018 - 16:35

      **** for productivity AND gaming.

      Youtube reviewers are just that, they do video editing, content creation and gaming, so even I would not recommend this monitor if you do that.

    • Goldfire on 19/11/2018 - 17:13

      34 inch 1080p must look like shit

      Except that it isn't. I have 20/20 vision and I've used this panel for some time now without any issues - for both gaming and content creation, it's an IPS screen after all. That, plus it's easier to drive that resolution at 144hz than something like 1440p or 4k.

      My friend has a Acer 1080p screen @ 27", which is VA based, now that one looks terrible for clarity.

      Sure, 1440p or 4k is better overall, but the 2560x1080p on this screen is certainly not shit. Seems like people are sitting super close to their screens or something.

    34 inch at 1080 would be horrible, OP your comments are very misleading and i hope everyone takes them with a pinch of salt.
    I think 28 inch is the sweet spot for gaming atm especially with a 1440p, i'd much rather spend 100 bucks more and get:
