    Ok chasing some advice. I need 1 monitor to work as my race monitor. Not interested in tripples as I have VR connected to the PC as well. All I want is a good quality monitor suitable for sim racing. Budget about $1000. Looking at 34" ultra wides.

    Monitors I've considered

    BenQ EX3501R
    AOC AG352UCG6
    Acer X34P

    Anyone care to help me spend my money. Am I on the right track with the monitors above.

    If you have VR, why do you need a monitor?

    Good and Valid question.

    Not all race sims support VR easily. When they do it's amazing and nothing is better. Also with the wheel I just got I have a lot of extra buttons. Muscle memory not that good. So I want to be able just to hop in and race and do things in the outside world at the same time. VR is reserved for when I want to binge in the experience that it provides.

    All screens linked above look good.
    All are IPS, low refresh rate.
    See which one you can get cheap and go for that one.

    What are your PC specs? Need to know your CPU + GPU to see what frame rates you're chasing / able to get.

    Edit.
    All three panels have 100hz and can do 1440p. Unless you get a 2080ti I don't think you'll be running 1440p ultra settings much over 100hz any ways, with a heap of cars on track. Could be wrong on that but I think the 100 frames limit - with the g-sync would do you nicely.
