Hey,
I've been using a wallmounted 55" 8k Samsung TV as a computer monitor for the last 10 months. It died, and so I've purchased a stop gap 32" LG £300 VRR/144hz monitor which I've started to appreciate over the 60hz TV. Samsung have just authorized a full refund and now I'm stuck wondering what to buy out of the £1500. (I'd get a replacement 8k as it was wonderful with the right games but windows scaling and software text size was something I just couldn't get right)
Wants:
120-144hz refresh. I have a RTX3090 and want a compatible VRR.
38" 21:9 or 43" 16:9. Not interested in ultrawide 49" double width 27" 1440p monitors.
Don't want FALD. Prefer edge lit, but one which can do good black levels.
HDR 1000 or HDR600min.
Tempted to go OLED 49" but the usage is split 50% desktop music DAW/net fiddling and gaming. It'd be burnt in within a year with Cubase mixer or something.
Looking around at monitors is leaving me a bit bewildered. Every monitor I search comes up with an issue, such as black smearing, poor black levels, no HDR, 60hz etc etc.
Surely there's a decent monitor out there which I've missed and actually available to purchase?
Any ideas?
