I like it too. It’s a Run the Jewels theme. Got it from here, it’s on canvas and comes in different sizes. They did a good job and delivery was prompt especially considering they are in Canada.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on this:

Any alternatives I should be looking at?

I currently have a GTX 1070. Wanting to upgrade to either the new 3060 TI or a 3070 at some point but obviously can't find them.

Not sure I would recommend that monitor for you. Especially if you plan on getting a 3070 in the future. You want a monitor with G-Sync capability to take advantage of that high refresh rate potential. With this monitor and your NVidia GPU, you'll be limited to 60Hz refresh rate. The difference between gaming at 60Hz and 144Hz is amazing. You should probably also consider bumping up to 1440p resolution. This one is limited to 1080p. Like I said, if you could see the difference side by side between 1080p 60Hz and 1440p 144Hz, you'd immediately justify spending the extra money.

The problem though, is that you won't find many/any monitors with G-Sync in anything over ~35". Only Freesync(AMD GPU) at that width.

You might also want to consider a monitor that has native 21:9. This one is native 32:9, which is going to display a lot of media as cut off, stretched, or black bars on the sides.

This would be a better alternative(34" Curved, 1440p, 144Hz) for a little bit more: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34GP83A-B-...08FXGXJBH?th=1

Or if you really wanted something closer to that size(38" Curved, 1600p, 144Hz), look at this bad boy: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34GP83A-B-...08FXGXJBH?th=1

EDIT: Here's your 49"er with G-Sync. 240Hz refresh too. HDR. Wow. Little pricey though: https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-49-in...86&sr=8-2&th=1

Gotcha - thanks for the input. My main interest is a large monitor (49" would fit the bill). My current monitor is 120hz and I don't want to give that up either.

Given your input, should I be shopping AMD GPU's instead? I really don't have a preference, i've just always bought Nvidia.

AMD GPU is definitely an option too, if you really want that monitor. Freesync would give you that 144Hz refresh rate. The new AMD's are pretty stout.

I'd still recommend 1440p over 1080p though.

Fish, didn't Nvidia get scared and make their cards compatible with Freesync like a year ago?

Kind of. They still have some “G-Sync Compatible” requirements for that to work though. So it strictly depends on the monitor itself. Most current Freesync-only monitors probably will not work. Usually if it's capable of it, the seller will list it as "G-Sync compatible" or it will be verified by users in the comments as such. Because it's so sought after.

Here's what NVidia says:

Yes.

Believe it has to be Freesync v2.0 though

And whoa, another cool feature that I didn't know about. The ability to hook up two devices at a time. My primary reason for replacing my 2 27" monitors was to use Powertoys for a better split screen functionality for work, and use one of my 27" with my laptop docking station.

Helllll yeah. Most cards these days will push 4 monitors...

I meant - the monitor supports 2 separate inputs simultaneously.

That's what she said.

LMAO

My son is also in the process of building his first gaming computer. A gamer friend of his gave him a list of components that he recommended, which included an MSI 3060 ti trio.
We can't find it in stock anywhere.
We have found (gone now) the MSI 3060 ti Ventus (only 2 fans) and an EVGA 3060 ti. Do the brands make much difference? The component list had an MSI motherboard, is that why they recommended the MSI version of the 3060?
