New monitor ponderings

[Tomservo]

So, I have an I5 4590 and GTX 1060 6GB and I am torn between:

and

What would Jebus do?

Seems like two completely different choices for completely different usecases.

Yes, they both are quite different. And the use would be for gaming.

My opinion.

Because some games aren't 21/9 compatible
Because the Dell is 1440p, not the LG (1080p)
Because the Dell is 144Hz, not the LG (75Hz)
Because the Dell is TN , not the LG (IPS 5ms)
Because the Dell is for gaming, not the LG (video editing, photo editing, or specific games)

Dell no question then.

Dell no question then.

I was in similar boat, the pick for me was between Dell and Benq (xl2730z). I went with Benq as it has higher contrast and slightly darker blacks (darkness of blacks is a struggle for TN's). Also Benq seems to have a bunch of stuff for eye care, nothing on Dell tech specs about it.
