2021 Monitors

Will this be the year that we will be able to purchase monitors which cover my needs for both PC and console gaming?

I am personally wanting a 32" 4k 144Hz HDMI 2.1 Monitor. This will cover me for both PC and PS5 gaming.

I read somewhere that LG are releasing a 27@ 2.1 monitor (27GP950) which appears to be pretty much the same as the 27GN950 but with HDMI 2.1

the LG you mention is 27” and yes it’s just an HDMI 2.1 update of the existing 27GN950 which is very good

Man! That Rog Monitor. What price we speculating on that beast?

I honestly think that finding the right monitor is the most difficult thing.

$2599 I have seen mentioned for it so £2600 in the UK.

And honest to go, so long as you can put up with 42", you will be better off buying the albeit only 120Hz, LG OLED 42" and saving over a £1000 or use the difference to buy a 3090 or 4090 to give your new screen justice.

Wow. Starting to thiink that I should have just gone with a 27" 1440p monitor. Issue I had was that I already had 1 32" Samsung Qled which I use for PS and don't have the space for that and another monitor on my desk

To be fair, too many times i have seen monitors shown off at CES and then you still couldnt buy them until the following year,

This is my fear really, and when they do release will there even be any stock
