Old guy who likes gaming

Hey guys could you point me in the right direction, to get a 1440p 144hz or higher monitor with real good colour and picture quality. At the moment i have Dell 2719DGF TN panel. I play Black Ops cold war and a lot of the time i struggle to see anybody at distance in the game with this monitor, maybe it's just me or it may even be the game ( i am 61years now and my eyes need all the help i can get :-)

) I have been looking for months and get so confused with all the monitors on sale. Any help would be great. Thankyou

I'm 60 myself, I'm sure you can select a perk in cod that shows up enemy name tags at greater distance.
I use a lg cx 48 and I'm still useless at spotting players at distance on warzone

I noticed the same thing recently, i think its the games adding more affects (rain / moving grass) that makes it harder to see people.
Size of monitor may also be an issue, moving from 24" to 27" makes it harder to scan the monitor for enemies when your peripheral vision may not be great.

How far to do sit away from that screen? It's generally hard or slower to spot things on a larger screen as you've got more area to scan with your eyes

Depends on your budget but a decent 1440p IPS 144/165Hz Monitor is a great choice - Consider the LG 27GN850-B for the role!

It's wall mounted with a 80cm desk, cod is fine but warzone is a bit harder, the map is huge and can go for ages without seeing anyone

I am old as well. I find larger screens more comfortable for that very nature.

I'm young and find my AW3821 DW awesome for work and gaming! Scaling is an issue at times but you can work through it!

you flatter me though - actually I'm a fair bit older... Its nice that everyone thinks I look young though

Having played pc games since the early 2000s I also notice things are a bit harder to spot. Years ago playing CS betas on a 15" crt my eyes were young enough to cope. Now north of 50 its not so easy. I just bought a MSI Optix G27 and for BF1 it's great even for an old sod like me.
