Looking for advice: Monitor for gaming and print design

[fruit]

Hey you guys!

I just bought a new PC with the following specs. I thought they might help you guys to judge what makes sense for me to buy and what not considering hz and stuff - total noob here, dont judge me
rtx3080
amd ryzen 5900x
x570 gaming x
64gb ddr4-3600 ram

Now I'm looking to buy a new monitor to go with it. For my profession I do print and 3D design, so a big adobe rgb space would be nice. I'm going to calibrate it aswell. On top of that I would like to game on my new monitor and cut the expense of buying a next gen console.

I wouldn't like to go somewhere bewtween 24" and 27".

I dont really know how much hz I need and I think a high resolution would be nice to diplay crisp text for my print work (tho I sometime feel like ridget monitors help you assume how it looks on paper better, so I'm kinda flexible on that)

After a bit of research I found these 4 monitors although I wouldn't restrain my choice to them:

LG 27GN950
acer ConceptD CP5271UV
acer predator x27
acer bm270 (not that good for gaming I think)

But the sheer mass of monitors available out there makes it really hard for me to chose one.Do you guys have any recommendations for me on if one of these 3 is a good choise and any recommendations for monitors to look at besides these 3? My budget is ~800 bucks but I could possibly stretch it a bit.

Thanks so much in advance, have a nice new year's eve!

Tldr: Looking to buy a new monitor for print + 3D design and gaming, budget ~800€ but flexible if necessary

These posts come up time to time and get very little responses. But I will bite!

You are asking for 2 different things.
1. Professional colour accurate monitor.
2. Responsive monitor for games.

I looked at the sites for the monitors you suggested and the LG looks 'OK'.

Note that this from the specification.

Colour Gamut (CIE1976)DCI-P3 98% (typ.), DCI-P3 90% (min.)

90% is quite low for a modern professional colour accurate monitor. Also they have given themselves an out as they mention using hardware calibration tool that you would have to purchase separately. Read in to that what you will.

For games I use a gaming monitor and for publishing and graphics I use a monitor for that purpose.

Hopefully some one can give a better reply for a monitor that is useful for both.

If you pay that much for PC and especially graphics card, forget anything below 27".
Otherwise it's kinda like putting some Roman empire era horse wagon wheels into shiny new Jaguar/Rolls Royce.

And unless you only play slow paced games you'll want 100+Hz monitor.
Because while you can use below native resolution with scaling in games to help with fps, that doesn't help to increase monitor's refresh rate and some 60Hz monitor is always 60Hz monitor.


As for colour gamut DCI-P3 hype has actually lowered gamut size in cyan (blue-green) from AdobeRGB and pretty much all new panels are nowadays aiming for "lower hanging fruit".
In all sizes and resolutions...
Most AdobeRGB aiming monitors likely use old not good for gaming panels.
And good gaming capable 4K panels are even rarer.

With 144Hz also needing use of DSC compression to avoid really lossy and text clarity raping chroma subsampling:

That LG is one of the rare ones with fast 4K 144Hz panel and DSC.

AU Optronics has some AdobeRGB coverage aiming panels listed, but it's not certain if those will actually come available soon.

That 32" Viewsonic XG320U might use one.
CES might bring some news... or probably more paper announcements.
