Gaming Monitor 1440p

Fitze73 · 9 Jun 2021 at 11:38

omg how overwhelming is it to buy a gaming monitor these days , my gaming desktop Ryzen 9 5950X Nvidia RTX 3080Ti comes next week and i'm frantically looking to try and get a good performance monitor for it not really fussed about 4k one as seems most retailers are struggling to get stocks

And we have a Samsung 85" Q90T which we use on the PS5 & XSX, this monitor will purely be for desktop pc gaming

budget really upto £1k
screen size 27-32"
2560 x 1440p

any recommendations worth looking at especially if you are owners of any of the said monitors

If your budget is £1k would you consider an Ultrawide? They really are next level.
Again, if that's your budget then you can have your pick of the market really. Good 27 inch monitors are sub £500. Even the Samsung G7 32 inch is around that price and that is almost top of the line.

I have the MSI Optix 34 inch monitor, it's really good! A little to big for me though so thinking of getting rid of it

I don't have any experience of ultrawides (though I run 3 monitors, so I know the extra horizontal space is great to have) - however if you choose not to go that route, I recently bought the Aorus FI27Q-X and I've been very happy with it so far. Picture quality is good, it has FreeSync Premium and GSync and manages 240Hz.

Let us know how the G7 turns out, I’ve been looking at 1440p and not sure what to get.

Did you go for 27” or 32”?

From all the feedback I've heard about the G7, I think either option would be a good choice.

in the end 32" got 30 days to give it a through testing so will see how it goes , my 2nd choice 1440p wise is the Aorus , 3rd being LG27gp950 (4k 144-160hz)

If you're doing any work or other non-gaming things, distortion from extreme curvature of Samsung might get very annoying.

34 inch ultrawide with that PC set up, give your new set up something to work on.

I have used ultrawide for years and will never go back to a 2 monitor set up.

My monitor:
iiyama G-Master Red Eagle GB3466WQSU-B1 34"

Cheap and cheerful for me.
