Hi,

I'm about to do an upgrade on my setup and hope to be sporting a new 3090 RTX or similar soon.

I'm still using 'decent' 1080 / 1440 P monitors @ 27 inch, dual.

I'd like to get a setup where I have 2 x 32 inch 4K which will be mounted side by side, so VESA mount is a must. I'm tempted by a curved setup and from time to time the widescreen options pop up however my concern with widescreen is then what happens with gaming / Netflix etc? When I look online, prices can be fairly wide ranging and very much tied to panel type etc.

I am a gamer however not a 'fussy' gamer as such. I value quality of screen over say something like a framerate stat. I do also use my setup for some audio work, some CAD work (Fusion 360) etc. For example, my wife still uses a now 'old' 5K MAC and I love that screen and the quality it exudes.

There is no budget as such however Id rather pay £350 on a monitor than £600 but I dont want to buy 'cheap' and skimp on getting something a bit better.

Thoughts / comments welcome.

Thanks
 
For the longer term I'd suggest going 4K 144Hz instead of 60, you'll get years more out of them. Problem is is thta they start circa £650ish, can you stretch? An alternative is the Electriq brand, which I think are about 350 each 4K/144Hz (model is eiQ-32M4K144FS) but do your research on it and make sure it's ok. They usually use Samsung panels tbf and I've seen it on offer for £350 if you search for the model number :) Definitely an option but check reviews, seems to be ok at first glance.

edit - They do Freesync and use a single cable DP 1.4 connection so all seems to be ok in that dept.

Hope this info helps you man :)
