Hi All
My current setup (I am from India):
Proc : AMD 5950x
Mobo : Asus ROG Crosshair VIII dark hero
RAM : 2 x 16GB DDR4 G Skill 3600 C16
GPU : GTX 1080
Display : Acer XB271HU
Primary use : Gaming + Work + Photo editing (Lightroom/Photoshop). Gaming is "seasonal" - spending more time on the console these days but desktop gaming days will definitely come!
I had upgraded the Mobo/Proc/RAM (over a year ago) and kept the GPU. I am planning on upgrading the monitor and GPU and I had a few queries:
1) GPU --> Have been using my 1080 for 7 years now. This purchase would most likely last for a similar timeframe - so thinking of going big - a 4090 maybe. Have a separate post on this in the "Graphics card" section.
2) Display --> Thinking of going ultra-wide, but, very difficult to get one of those in India!

- Shortlisted a few:
- 38" Dell Alienware AW3821DW (~1475 USD)
- 49" Samsung CRG9 (~1475 USD)
- 34" Acer Predator X34GS (~850 USD)
- 43" Acer Predator CG437K (~750 USD)
- 43" Gigabyte Aorus FV43U (~790 USD)
- Anyone using these monitors ? Particularly the 49/43 inch ones ? I do have a large table - but, how is the practicality ?
- The 43" Acer/Gigabyte --> I am actually quite interested in these, but reading quite a few conflicting opinions - related to text readability and black smearing. Anyone using these ?
