New PC gaming monitor 1440p or 4k

[steve5424]

Hi built a new gaming PC back in June and been using an old Samsung 1080p 60hz 24" TV till now but wanting an actual proper gaming monitor now. Have mostly been looking at 1440p but would consider a 4k with decent refresh and not too expensive, purely for gaming.

Mainly wants are
curved is fine
No bigger than 32"
High refresh rate
HDR would be nice
No more than £500

Was eying up the Samsung Odyssey G6 LS27BG650EUXXU 27" Curved 1440p 240hz, no idea if there is better around for my budget. So many monitors around.

What type of games you play, as this is usually a factor in selecting.

Bit of everything really. FPS old and new, 3rd person such as Jedi Survivo, RE4. Sim city type games, GTA V, Age of Empires.

I likely wouldn't play every game at 4k nor would I run everything at ultra with RT settings all the time. That's why I am not totally sure what monitor to go for. All I know is I definitely need to run my PC at higher than 1080p. Specs in sig.

Yeah main reason for 4k would be some 4k gaming but also connecting a console to it and watching UHD content.

I have been considering the 27" Samsung g6 ‎LS27BG650EUXX seems OK review wise.

Not so much out of my budget but the wife would probably kill me for spending more than that.
Is the LG 32GQ850-B just the newer version of the P?

Looks very nice.

Oddly official LG store no longer stocks the Q already.

See where I can get the best deal. Maybe wait till black Friday.

Looking more like 4K for you then

Possibly I do like the look of the 1440p LG 32GQ850-B though.

Then again the 4k version 32GQ950-B or the 32GR93U-B also looks good, so I'll see which I can get a bigger discount during main black Friday deals.
