Best ultrawide gaming monitor for an immersive RPG experience?

So I've been saving up for months now to finally ditch my crusty old 24 inch screen because honestly playing stuff like Cyberpunk and Elden Ring on it feels like looking through a keyhole lol. I want that super wide immersive vibe but I'm stuck between two main choices right now. My desk is one of those smaller IKEA ones so I cant go crazy with a 49 inch super ultrawide even though they look cool. My budget is pretty firm at $900 tops since I still gotta pay rent too.

I'm currently looking at these:

  • Alienware AW3423DWF
  • LG 34GP950G-B
  • Samsung Odyssey G8

The Alienware looks sick because everyone says the OLED blacks are insane for dark dungeon scenes but I'm super paranoid about burn-in since I leave games paused for way too long sometimes while I go grab food. The LG seems like a safer bet with the IPS panel but I hate backlight bleed and I've heard it can be a total lottery with those screens. I'm trying to pull the trigger by next Friday so I can have it ready for a long weekend of gaming. Which one is actually gonna give me that wow factor for single player RPGs without breaking my heart a year later?

You should definitely be careful with OLED if you pause a lot tbh. I would suggest the LG 34GP950G-B 34-Inch UltraGear QHD Nano IPS because it is way safer long-term.

  • Watch out for OLED burn-in if you pause games often.
  • Go with a high-refresh IPS from Gigabyte to avoid the lottery issues you mentioned.
