    Has anyone tried any of these babies yet?

    I'm considering purchasing two for trading, but haven't read trader's opinions on them.

    There are two versions of the 34 inch.

    This one with 2560x1080 resolution (65)

    This one with 3440x1440 resolution (twice as expensive) (95)

    Considering my eyesight is poor and the price is much more attractive, I'm leaning towards the 65 version and not the 95; I'm afraid 3440x1440 might look too tiny in 34 inches, and the other one sounds about right.

    Just doing some basic research before I actually hit the buy button.

    They are a little on the expensive side, but considering it's my full time line of work, easy to justify.

    I haven't tried those.
    For me it is better to have 2 rows x 3LCDs = 6x LCDs with size 24" (1920x1080) - this way LCD pannels are nicely "around" me with proper angles and things are not too tiny.
    If you would like to have lower "ppi" then just go for 27" instead of 24"
    This way total costs should be lower and total resolution and area of LCDs will be larger.

    I hear you, but I don't need as much screen real estate as you seem to do.

    My two main options now are:

    Three 1920x1080s or two of the new 21:9 formats at 34inch, the higher resolutions seem appealing for the occasional gaming I sometimes do.

    Then I would go for 3x 1920x1080, because for gaming I like one central display and one on the each side.
