HDR seems to be the biggest different - I do a fair bit of sim racing/flying and also photo productivity - just a bit lost.

Thanks

Would you consider a 42" OLED TV? I feel in the price range you're after you may get better bang for buck if you consider a TV potentially as well,

if not however then another potential choice is a Dough Spectrum One Glossy (if you like glossy monitors) or get it in matte your choice, provided you purchase from a reputable retailer (this is probably the best non oled monitor in your price range)

Defintiley the 43" ROG STRIX XG43UQ out of that bunch just for the HDR1000 (or as some call it, proper HDR)

Only slight issue with it is I'd personally find it a bit big but that is personal preference (4K 32" is the sweet spot for me)

Upgrading from their you would just be looking at Mini LED or OLED for better blacks, but if you are not used to it you wont miss it.

So had a look - the larger screen is too big I think so thats that one out. I checked out Dough, but UK suppliers and the reviews put me right off - nice display tho.

Fair enough, if I was you I'd make sure you buy your monitor brand new so you get the longer term warranty protection especially when you're spending potentially £600.

Or get a well looked after 2nd hand panel if you want to save some £ seeing some decent ones.

From your options I guess I'd go with the gigabyte now you ruled out the 43"

The LG is better than the Gigabyte, but for the saving it's a tough choice.

I bought a B-Grade monitor from here a few months ago and it was perfect by the way.

Thanks guys - no further forward but got a short list anyway - PC is offline so no urgency, so can keep eye on deals.

from the 2 left I would go for the LG. Will your system be hitting 144fps or over ?
