    I have an Asus ROG swift 34" ultrawide in 3440x1440.

    While it's pretty much wasted on Shroud, its a really nice monitor and great for other games with high end graphics. The curve might seem gimmicky or wierd at first but its actually really nice to play on.

    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one of any size or resolution.

    This is my monitor... it's not 4K, but decent enough at 3440x1440p, which as you can see shows off Shroud beautifully...

    I currently run Shroud on Asus ROG PG348Q Black 34" 3440 x 1440, 100 Hz powered by 2 Nvidia GTX 1080's in SLI. If you haven't moved to 3440x1440 do it soon. I replaced a triple monitor setup for this one. It cleaned up my desktop and I have enough screen estate to be very happy in my Avatar adventures.

    Looks impressive :) . The only thing I'm wondering is, can you still see and read all the texts on the high resolution screen without problems (maybe it's because of my bad eyes, but I'm already getting problems on my MSI gaming laptop)?

    I am 55 wearing trifocals,; however, I have a pair of glasses I use for PC work and games. and I keep the monitor about 29 inches from my face. I can read most everything just fine in Shroud of the Avatar. For websites I often use ctrl + to increase the fonts by 20% when they use smaller fonts. I would recommend going to a store with a 3440x1440 curved screen monitor on display and look for yourself. I was skeptical at first so I drove to Houston (1.5 hours away) to do just that before I purchased the monitor.
