Hi all,

I'm buying a new rig, with a Zotac 1080 mini, and I'd like to upgrade from my ancient 1080p Samsung to something BIG.

I was about to pull the trigger on a PG348Q - the ultrawide format was super immersive when I saw it in person and G-Sync seems to be effective and well regarded.

But after reading through a variety of threads about PG348Q quality issues, I'm less certain about dropping $AUD1,399 on one.

I'd like to stay curved, 1440p, and above 27", so the other options I'm looking at are the XG35VQ (ultra wide, VA, 100hz) or XG32VQ (16:9, VA, 144hz). Neither has G-Sync though.

Both of these are also $500 - $300 less than the PG348Q.

I mainly play a mix of MMOs, FPS (very casually), and survival games. I prefer image quality and smoothness over super fast twitch responsiveness.

I'd also like a monitor that will last me through a few GPU refreshes.

So, which would you go for? A super expensive UW, but with G-Sync and potential quality issues, a $300 cheaper 16:9 with no G-Sync but with 144hz, or a $500 cheaper UW?

HALP!

What are the PG348Q quality issues? BTW this could be a case of confirmation bias. I work at a electronic device store and people always think because they googled the problem that other people have the same issue that it's a widespread issue. Looking at the reviews of the monitor it looks like a lot of people love em.

Btw you live in AUS. You have a 1 year warranty for electronic devices. and they have to accept it if it "doesn't do what you'd reasonably expect it to or it isn't of acceptable quality."
