Hey guys, every time I look into monitors I find it extremely difficult to pick out one that's actually well rated, doesn't have a huge footprint, is powerful, yet is still budget friendly. With the giant family of gamers we have here, I'm sure yall have some great recommendations and I'd like to hear them. Main things I'm looking for:

 

- Ultrawide, 29-34"

- HDMI + standard hookups

- Touchscreen optional, but preferred as long as it doesn't detract from quality

- Thin/Small desktop footprint

- Under $500

 

I realize that I may not be able to get everything in that budget, and I'm willing to compromise, but it's daunting picking a decent one out.

recently bought some Eizo foris its only 24', but its nice. But i guess its not what u looking for.

its the first monitor i ever saw that was like 98% calibrated. i really like it, its not as good as my dell ultrasharp, but half the price and its more game oriented than my dell.

not sure if they make the same in bigger size

So I've decided between these two with essentially the only difference being the aspect 21:9 vs 16:9. I know that the 21:9 is awesome for productivity and provides better FOV in game, but I've heard that some older games do not support 21:9. Since CoD5 is my main game, does anyone know if it supports 21:0 without any issues or if there is at least a workaround if not?

 

Any objections to either of these monitors?
