They're 1440 ultrawide screens, would hardly drive a 4080, waste of a good GPU.

You'd need 4k 144hz as a minimum which will cost substantially more.

would those be a good idea? as would like to wall mount it but i can wait for a while as there are currently no cases on this website besides the cosmos case and i think that might be a little too big lol that can hold the 4080 anyways

They're both great, I think the Gigabyte is newer and better quality, more money is going into the design rather than the brand name

But don't buy anything until Friday/Monday as there may well be some crazy deals (Black Friday/Cyber Monday)

I'd also suggest you check that a 43" 16:9 screen will suit your eyes/room...as it's VERY large when used at bout 2 feet distance.

I use a similarly-sized LG OLED in the bedroom that I watch TV and play Xbox on from 8 feet away.

It's what I've just bought after getting bored of waiting for a 32" 144hz 4k OLED.

It was on sale for £949 on the Dell website last week - but the offer has gone now.

They've put the 38" IPS ultrawide AW3821DW in the same for the a similar price (although not sure it's worth the premium over the OLED model for a slightly bigger screen)...

Now, I know the Alienware AW3423DW (non-F version) is supposed to be firmware locked at the factory and doesn't allow end-user upgrades...but my Alienware control centre has just told me that it wants to do a firmware update!!!

I've told it to go ahead, but as soon as I clicked confirm I suddenly wondered if it would break my perfectly-functioning monitor with its rare silent fan(s).

Just waiting for it to complete and restart, and we'll see...(and I'm posting from the Mac just in case 😬 )
