Dont get that feeling too often with computer hardware. Love it when I do, though. Feels like it was worth it for once.
I have a LG oled as well hooked up so I alternate if I want 4k 120 FPS for stuff but I’ve grown accustomed to the 240 1440 resolution:

Ended up ordering an Alienware AW2724. Based on the RTing’s reviews, it looks like it’s pretty much the same panel as the Dell that was linked a page back, and Alienware’s clearing them out at $199 right now.

Good monitor; I have the similar AW2723DF. Only major nitpick for me was that the monitor has some kind of issue with Nvidia drivers where if both G-sync and 240hz refresh are enabled, the monitor intermittently black screens after booting into Windows. Totally powering the monitor off and back on fixes it, but it's kind of annoying. Seems? to have finally been fixed with the most recent iteration of NV drivers, but it took over a year.

I saw an Odyssey over at a guys house last weekend. First time seeing one in person and I was thinking about going that direction this year but now am not so sure. It is nice but the curve is so aggressive and with the extra length it looks so narrow height wise.

Currently using the 34” version of the above, the AW3423DW from two years ago and it is spectacular. But thinking about moving that to my work desk and replacing the gaming machine with something bigger.

Yea I went with a 42 LG C4 for that reason. The ark is funny but really aggressive curve and the specs don't align with the price yet. If they do a gen3 and fix some of the problems I imagine I'd still wait it out until there was some steep discounts.

Monitor came in yesterday. It’s a massive upgrade over my old ASUS VG248’s. It definitely had a green tint to it out of the box, but it looks great now with some calibration tweaks and the RTing’s ICC profile.
