Advice on a new monitor please

[Reksoul]

Hey Guys,

Ive recently upgraded some parts in my PC and was now looking to buy a new monitor, i have always played PC games @ 1080p but im hoping to upgrade to 1440P.
So my questions are do you think my PC will be able to handle 1440P?? (Still have old GPU)
and what monitor would you recommend for around £500 - £600.

I have been looking at a Samsung Odyssey G7 but not sure how good it is compared to other monitors for this price range?
I will be using this monitor for gaming 90% of the time, i play all types of games from RPG's to MMO's to FPS's and also Strategy games.

Thanks for any input

Intel Core i5-12600K ​

With some setting tweaking 2560x1440 should run well in majority of games.
Unless you play only the heaviest games.
Anyway higher resolution compensates some lowering of settings.
And for strategy games extra screen real estate is huge improvement.


That Samsung isn't just curved, it's off the charts bent.
That's from 32" model, but curve is in same scale for 27" model.
So unless you know you can tolerate such extreme curvature wouldn't recommend those.


My pick on 27" 2560x1440 would be MSI MAG274QRF-QD
MSI 27" MAG274QRF-QD 2560x1440 IPS Quantum Dot 165Hz 1ms FreeSync/G-Sync Widescreen LED Backlit Gami (SKU: MO-015-MS) = £498.95

Used AU Optronics panel has very wide gamut covering also AdobeRGB with cyan/green coverage beyond overhyped DCI-P3.
That gives vibrant colours especially in games depicting nature.
And contrast is very good for IP and response times are modern.

Hey EsaT,

Thanks for the advice i will check out the MSi MAG274QRF.

Many thanks
