This is FreeSync 2 and 144Hz with a lower resolution. If you are good with 1440p this one would appear to be much better.

Nvidia lists the 32GK850 as being G-Sync compatible - anyone tried with this? As far as I can tell this might just be an HDR variant?

Thanks.

Bought one - hope I'm it a sucker but I suppose I can just return it at Costco if you blokes sour on this. 56$ tax is painful but what to say...

I have the microcenter version of this with slightly lower brightness/color gamut and no HDR. Fantastic image and uniformity and 144hz is nice but does have some smearing/ghosting so if you're sensitive to that.. But the only way to know is see it in action..fortunately, like others have said, Costco's return policy is really ace.

I'm going to try capping at 120hz in the monitor settings. I've heard on some monitors that can actually reduce blur (which seems a little counterintuitive to me but not sure if I want to keep so I'm willing to try anything)

You should be okay still. 93dpi is not too
shabby. It you're only using this for programming a 30+ inch 4k monitor would probably be better.

My friend has a 5k LG at work and I make joke around how awesome vim looks on it (which is nearly all he uses it for).

Anyone have opinions on this vs the AOC AGON AG322QCX thats at NewEgg for 10 dollars less?
They seem about the same except AOC is curved. For gaming, is the curve really more immersive?

Seems AOC one has better color gamut but no HDR right?

I have the Samsung 32" curved. IMHO I dont think the curve makes it more immersive. I upgraded from a 29" wide flat screen. I wouldnt choose based on the curve at 32"....maybe a wider screen would be different.

The vertical upgrade from 1080p to 1440p makes it more immersive.

Purchased. Thank you.I bought the Viotek 34" ultrawide last month. Was really enjoying it for gaming (my first high refresh rate monitor) but it developed multiple dead pixels and would flicker even after replacing the DP cable. Returned to Amazon for credit. Between the credit and gift cards, I could buy this on Amazon, but Costco return policy is too good to pass up for an item like this (I'm picky when it comes to monitors - even one dead pixel is a no-go).

I bought this exact monitor last time it was on sale, about a month ago. I love it, no problem with blurry text. It's bright and clear and responsive.
