Hello all,

I just built a new gaming system paired with ASROCK RADEON RX VEGA VII and a RYZEN 2700X.
Currently, am using a 1080p monitor and would like to upgrade to a 1440p or 4k monitor.

My budget is that of 1000 Euros max.

Can you please suggest an ideal monitor for my new setup?

I don’t think there’s a right answer, since there is no such thing as a perfect monitor. Personally, I would avoid 4K if you like to play fast paced games. Your system will handle 4K well but it will likely struggle in the next year or two.

Which leaves you to choose between a TN panel with Freesync at 1440p, which is the cheapest and easiest option. Or a 32” VA at 1440p which has its own problems. After that you have expensive IPS panels with awful quality control or ultra wide panels which are expensive and also with quality control problems.

I think you need to narrow down your requirements first, based on the games you play.

Many thanks for your reply!

Mainly I play Strategy, and RPG games.
Also, I would like to wall mount the monitor.

For wall mounting most will do that, just check it has a VESA mount option :)

Have a look at the 27" 1440p 144Hz IPS FreeSync displays, even 25" depending on your desk setup?

Unless you really want a massive 32" screen?

To be honest I was lurking towards 27-32 inch. At work I use a 32-inch monitor, so am used to the size.

Any recommendations that you might suggest, please?
 
Hello again guys,

Many thanks for your input so far.

I checked some reviews about the AORUS and damm it is really such a nice monitor.

However after some more googling :) I saw this monitor
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £571.69 (includes shipping: £11.70)​
​

I think considering it is 5" bigger and got the same specs (without the RGB and other candy stuff, which am not after) think that would be a better buy.

What do you think?
 
That monitor but is out of stock and not within my budget. So regarding UltraWide monitors, what are your recommendations on available OCUK stock.

The following would be my requirements:

1440P
VESA mounting
Preferable 900 Euros (since I have to pay 100 euros for shipping)
 
Hello again,

I did some more browsing and came up with the following:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,279.55 (includes shipping: £19.62)​
​

What do you think, I like the ASUS one a lot to-be-honest. Seems a good all arounder.

The trouble with monitors is that you're fighting against bad QC along with the fact that monitors are quite a personal thing and if you get it wrong, you're stuck with it for a long time. They aren't the type of product you find in high-street shops, therefore you end up having to order a product with the intention of sending it back if it's no good. Your profile says you live in Malta where I'm sure your consumer rights laws are different to what they are in the UK. I've recently tried three different types of monitor (27" IPS, 32" VA) before finally ordering what I was never really interested in, which is an IPS ultra wide. Good luck with whatever you choose.

That is why I am asking for suggestions here before I pull the trigger. Don't want to send back the monitor(too much hassle).
Sadly locally the range is limited therefore I have to make use of websites like OCUK(which is great!).
