Hi Guys,
I'm at a loss as to what to buy at the moment, and with Black Friday coming up I'm trying to figure out ahead of time what I'm looking for.
Basically I have a Man Cave in the house as shown above. I have a HTC VIVE VR setup and a powerful gaming PC (1080TI, 4.5GHZ, 16GB Ram etc) which I bought from OCUK during the summer. It has really gotten me back in to PC Gaming for the first time in over a decade, so I am a bit uneducated on a lot for the latest technoligies, trends, or best options. The missing piece is the TV/Monitor to play normal flatscreen games on. I Find I play a lot of PUBG and Squad some times. The TV I have is a 44 inch 1080P TV that is quite old now. It has constant static type lines that run up the screen, and in general is not quite clear. It also I imagine has terrible input lag. What to replace it with is proving hard to figure out though.
I sit a reasonable few feet back from the TV when playing, on a beanbag with a small fold out table for mouse and keyboard. So a 27" monitor or the likes doesn't seem like the best option. I also watch some sports, youtube etc on the TV from time to time.
Is a 4K TV a good shout for me considering the value (if I want something 40" ish again), or will my gaming suffer over a monitor due to input lag and only 60Hz (how significant are these)? 1440P monitors sound like a good option, but I'm finding it very hard to find one that kind of size for any sort of reasonable money. Also seem to be a lot of ultrawides in that sort of bracket which wouldn't really work for me I'm guessing (due to sitting a bit away). Is 1080P a better shout, but will any TV give me 1080P at high Hz, or again is a monitor better. Can a large 1080P monitor be bought?
I probably would like to spend 300-600 pounds, obviously the less the better. Please help me in figuring out what the hell I want ha!
