1440p@165Hz, theoretically.

In reality 120 Hz because ULMB is just too damn good.

The little big of gaming I do is at 1920x1200/1080. My 2nd monitor usually has a video or music and system stats (CPU load, memory usage, temps, etc) going on it. It would be a different story if I could snag 3rd same monitor cheap, though.

I finally upgraded from 256x1440 after 4 years! I'm loving 3440x1440 @ 100hz. I don't think I can ever go back to 16:9.

IPS 2560x1080@30-75 Hz. 29 inches of awesome. I think 34 would be too big for pub-competitive FPS games, and a pain in the rear to navigate in browser etc.

1920x1080 & 5760x1080 @ 120Hz. If it supports Eyefinity properly then that is my primary resolution, hence my vote for that.

1080P @ 60hz.

Will only upgrade to higher resolution or refresh rate when the prices reach the levels of current mainstream monitors (namely 1080p @ 60hz). Maybe by that time there will be affordable gpu's that can actually run games on those specs.

1080p @ 75Hz. My monitor won't go any higher, my 290 is happy with that resolution.

I think I am going to upgrade my Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 4 GB soon.

Going to sell it for $50.

Very interesting to see 3440 x 1440 with 11.4% of the votes. This is ahead of 4K at 10.1%.

It makes sense as this aspect ratio will become the most popular one. Just take a look in the mirror to see why. Notice those eyes? Are they stacked on top of each other? God, I hope not. They shouldn't be. What you should see are two eyes spaced WELL apart horizontally. It almost looks like they are made for 21:9! Or should I say, 21:9 was made for YOU. Square box monitors like 16:9 will die, and quickly.

Actually they won't because of TV and YouTube content. If I am not wrong 21:9 flopped with televisions. People rather buy a bigger screen for their TV content than the movie. And it makes sense given how much more it is consumed than home movies.
