The above is my current monitor but its been replaced twice due to issues and now have been refunded for it.

im looking for recommendations for a new screen potential thinking

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...YpL1OddsHLecjjUoD4hzsk_rkttkaoWhoCHNkQAvD_BwE

any other recommendations
atm i play r6 seige,warzone and EFT

whilst id say tarkov is my main game i tend to down scale to 3200 x 1800 to keep 100 fps
siege is fine at 4k
so is war zone

im not against going to a 1440p display but what i do recall that this(acer nitro) next the 165 hz ips i had before this the colours were no where near as good

budget is the 899 refund

bearing in mind that whatever the next flag ship GPU is il be buying it so dont worry to much about specs in pc

atm 8700k 5ghz and radeon 7

any inputs appreciated
 
What issues you have with that first monitor?

hi bud the first model the speakers blew so was sent a replacement last week but this one has a strange fault on the hdr that its just black and as the models locked u cannot adjust the brightness in comparison to the one it replaced the colours are very over saturated also i submitted a request to acer and was told to use there software utility but that has no affect to the hdr its as if the monitor cannot power enough to the screen if that makes sense

my wife uses it for work i only game on the PC so for me hdr not important (its crap 400 anyway) but at 950 sheets u want something your happy with ay
i have the returns label but want to have the replacement ordered first ........
 
Hi Whitestar, Yeah I have this monitor so wondered what to look out for. I don't use HDR either - just a poor extra when I wanted 4k high hz particularly. Though I did read that when HDR is on, you cant use many of the other features the tft central review covers this. I have to have the brightness on '3' as it's a bright monitor. The glow is apparent but even and no bleed on mine which is good. Still baulking at the cost of mine really but pleased I have 4k @ 120hz.

As for replacement there isnt much to choose from. As the Acer was one of only 16 monitors recommended by TFT central you may want to look through their list.

Or keep an eye on what's coming out https://www.displayninja.com/new-monitors/

Only thing with that Asus is that it has a fan built into the monitor and I think the panel itself is exactly the same. Don't know how loud it is but could annoy the Mrs when working.


the panel on the last one was brilliant for gaming especially tarkov. i dont know if u play the game but unless im on max brightness and max black level boost ya cannot see in buildings at all its just dark as hell lol
