So I have been considering getting a different monitor for a while now, sadly the 4k 120Hz g-sync displays are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced IMHO and too young yet (new tech i have found isn't always reliable and can mature better in the next revisions).
While the ROG swift (PG278q, and sorry it is a TN panel not a VA) has served me well I have found it annoying to have two monitors for productivity as the second monitor I have is a 27" 2k Dell G-sync 144hz... so I hve to turn my head waaaaaaay over to see things on the other screen.
So I started considering an UW.... but something that perhaps would have more "pop" to the colors, so i figured an IPS may be a better option. Then the Alienware went on sale... all reviews seem to be positive on it so far.
As for the gaming aspect when I sit at my PC I mainly play battlefield, PUBG, fortnite and the like. For more story driven or console-ish type games I'll typically move over to my projector setup (or TV) and play through the nvidia shield.
I already have some people lined up to buy the other two monitors if I sell them cheap lol....but, would it really be worth it in the way of an upgrade in Picture quality?
just seeing if anyone else went down this route and what was your experience.
