large 4k productivity monitor with a side of gaming.....

233 · 27 Aug 2022 at 20:44

currently using a 1440p AOC 32" as a primary and a 70" led 4k display as a secondary display.

looking to upgrade my main screen to 4k with a focus on productivity (think lots of static images ) and some gaming on the side

i would love to go 42/48" LG c2 but the thought of sitting using excel for 3/4 hours at a time fills me with dread (burn in worry)

any suggestions on a primary display that will allow me to get a big gain in desktop real estate a quality bump and not have a complete fear of using it every time i open excel up?

the only one i can see that may be even close to being a buy is the Dell 43" Ultrasharp but not too enamoured from a gaming use point of view.

any thoughts?

On the 32in side I'd say M32U if you're on a budget or the new upcoming LG 32GQ950-B which is due any day now. The 43's tend to be VA's so not too hot for gaming if you're sensitive to ghosting.

Tbh I want to go bigger than my current 32 hence looking at the 43

All VA's bar the LG 43UD79, and that's 60Hz. I'd personally risk an oled like the new Asus 42in.

For a business monitor go with Dell Ultrasharp or similar every time. Sure you're limited to 60 Hz, but is that really a problem? But have you looked at the 32" Dell G3223? 4k, 144 Hz IPS.

WOW they're really trying it on at that pricing eh!! No chance, it'll be 750 in a month or 2 :eek:

I wish your prediction had been correct, but you can't get one anywhere

The 32GQ950 is annoying as a productivity monitor since it lacks a USB-C input :mad:

Quick thread update went for the Aorus 43fv43u

Love it absolutely cracking for gaming and has taken a bit of getting used to for work but settling in nicely

Great monitor for using all round, love it!
