New Monitor 30+

Vakas · 14 Jul 2019 at 17:22

I have looking for a new monitor 30 inch or above I currently have a 27 inch 4K screen.

I am looking for somthing that's good for games high refresh rate probably 1440p as I don't see many 4k options.

Looking to spend upto £700.

Found these for now

144Hz rate capable 4k monitors should be coming for Christmas/during winter.
Though would need insane GPU power...
Precisely rendering 2.2 times the pixels per frame than in 2560x1440.
(also for some reason there aren't much of IPS panels in 32" size)

Anyway you better forget G-Sync only monitor, unless liking the idea of paying Nvidia for getting chained to be their slave.
VESA standard Adaptive Sync (called as FreeSync by most makers) not working with Nvidia cards until winter was ploy to make juicy profits from also monitors and prevent customer choises.

Besides that Asus there's this new LG:

Here's its testing with Nvidia card:

The first monitor we tested was the LG 32GK850F...
You’ll only get a good FreeSync experience with monitors that support LFC, so we're glad to report LFC works fine with this monitor and Nvidia GPUs as expected.

We encountered no issues with this display. The transition inside and out of the refresh window, around the 45 to 55 Hz range, was handled perfectly without flickering or artifacts.

The LG actually looks quite nice.

I will be picking somthing up this week hopefully.

I have just seen the ASUS ROG STRIX Curved XG35VQ

I really like the look and specs of this monitor.

Anyone got this any feedback or advice would be appreciated.

Still better than 60hz and I guess for that price you can't go wrong

What do you think

strocky · 15 Jul 2019 at 12:07

A lot of screen acreage I agree
Not a fan of the curve but a good price

Vakas · 15 Jul 2019 at 12:16

I never really thought about the curve

I think it will be a step up from my current 27inch 4k 60hz panel though

£480 quid? I assume a misprice?

Edit: Ok I have found it now, Did you manage to get it for that price?

Where did you find that price, out of interest?

Thats a shame, have you chosen a monitor to go for? I am looking for a similar size but do not really want to spend more than £500. Have you looked at the BenQ EX3501R? Looks like this can be picked up for a decent price.

Not too sure yet can get the 32 inch variant of the Asus for £479

Might hold on a couple more days see if anything else comes up

Vakas · 16 Jul 2019 at 11:57

The 32 inch version is 144hz as opposed to 100hz of the 35 inch, will this be noticeable?

Also I'm assuming the image will be clearer on on the 32 inch as it's the same resolution
