Hi all!
Purchased the August PC of the month (Fusion Fury, specs below) and was wondering what the best monitor around £400 could buy, mainly for use with X Plane 11 (flight sim)? Guessing widescreen/ultrawide is best for a flight sim.. Ideally 1440p (though not possible if widescreen?), 1ms, 144Hz, etc.
I had originally ordered the 34" LG 34UC79G-B but that's 1080p which is apparently a 33% sacrifice of FPS vs 1440p... now I'm thinking Dell S2719DGF is a better option?
Any help would be much appreciated. Budget can be stretched a bit if it's worth it. I think I just want the best X Plane 11 experience since I'm training to be a pilot.
