well.....i've stopped myself since the post haha, i dunno why im finding it so hard to pull the trigger on the right monitor.
It's a confusing mess, TN, IPS, VA, OLED, QD-OLED, far too much choice, sizes, curved or flat, glossy finish or Matte.
I need a new monitor too, I do like the look of the MSI one, I'll pull the trigger if I pass this course I'm on

It looks like a great monitor with a high spec. It's got good reviews and has won some awards. I don't think you'd be disappointed.
The only thing I'm thinking is you have an NVIDIA graphics card, which would normally go best with a G-Sync monitor, whereas this monitor is a AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. I'm not sure if that really matters though.

forgot to say.........do many monitors come with remotes etc nowadays? what it is....it's bit hard for me as to where i sit due to disability to keep reaching to mess with volumes or settings? or can you do the settings via programmes on screen?
TV would prob be best lol

I'm actually not a gamer, more a tech and monitor enthusiast. I think it would be a great monitor. If anything, it looks a bit overspecced for your needs, as I don't think driving sims would be that intensive re framerates, and that's where G-SYNC or FreeSync comes in, to avoid screen tearing at the high refresh rates. G-SYNC is proprietary NVIDIA, whereas FreeSync is AMD developed and an open standard, so FreeSync would still work for you, but not FreeSync Premium Pro, which requires AMD Radeon graphics in your PC as well.
prob will give it a miss
AW3225QF just wish i could work out how get around sound on this as such, seems bit a lot of people saying "buy this adapter" and "these cables" - which ideally i did not want to do

could you not use the sound card on the motherboard or get a usb sound card ?

AW3225QF has dropped to £910, the curve is v light it might be worth a go as returns are free (they collect)?
You can get cashback as well so potentially it's another 10% cheaper.
oled is the best for a gamer due to the oled tech and 120hz or more
I got the lg 4k 48inch 120hz at a sale and it was cheaper than current gaming monitor prices by a lot.
I play mainly arpg so its been amazing to play on.
I figured I could use it both as a monitor and tv and its been working out well.
whenever next I upgrade its likely to be the same size or even bigger.
May need a bigger desk then tho

there are usb sound cards that work with console also.
With 4K there is a trade-off in gaming performance, but I would go 4K myself.
OCUK has a few 32" monitors in your budget. I would go 32".

it's decent price as it's dropped now to £580, g-sync, 4k, has speakers, hdmi 2.1, and i think looks pretty smart for my set up, not too loud gamer look style.
I'd love an OLED....but.....i just cant settle on one tbh & for running a 3080 ti etc, i think from what im reading and feedback, it's going to be an overkill, plus the oled ones i;m looking at are like £1200+ up
what do you all think?
