Bit of a story for you all. Having just bought a LG 650F 34 inch 1440p/144hz monitor last year, ive gamed on it and its been nice. However I saw that the Samsung 55inch Q70R does full HDR and Freesynch and 120hz @ 1440p.

So i hooked up my PC which has a Ryzen 3600 and Red Devil 5700XT to my current tv which is a Samsung KS7000 to try it out. Its not as good as the Q70R obviously and i have only tried games @ 1440p/60hz but Forza for instance looks incredible and more importantly plays very well indeed and this with HDR on as does Final fantasy XV. Now im going to pickup the new Xbox series X when it comes out and would also like to use a higher refresh rate on my Xbox X. So my question is should I buy the Samsung Q70R id be looking at the 55 inch version. Ive read good things about it.

To sum up, id use the tv for pc and console gaming. Another thing is its just so nice lying on my bed gaming and not sitting on a chair at my desk lol. The tv would be at end of my bed wall mounted. Hope all this rambling makes some sense.

Maybes true, but it does look very nice in Forza for sure and thats @ 1440p and my native res is 2160p on the KS7000. I cant see the new Xbox Series X doing 60fps in 4K but At least I will have Freesync available on the Q70R.

I will do no problems. I have had 3 quality monitors for the PC since last year, A 4k samsung curved an ips 1440p @ 144hz and now the LG and all just dont do it for me. I think PC monitors are over rated. Im going Qled next.

It's arriving this Sunday so I will let everyone know. I'm pretty excited lol. Only thing is my girlfriend is at work that day so won't be able to put it on my wall bracket until I get some help. Can't wait.

I would love the LG c9 but I couldn't justify the price. Plus if be scared of burn in. So today's the day for my Samsung QR70. Let's see if it really is the gaming beast it's claimed to be.

So Ive got the Tv and I have it all working now as intended. Was initially disappointed at first because i couldn't for the life of me get it to display the 120hz option in windows @ 1440p, until i found a guys post on Reddit. Now its Wow. Games are flying im using freesync and game mode. Its a cracking display for certain. HDR in windows is probably not worth enabling as i hear its not as good as on console. So so far Ive got my Xbox one X and my PC running at 1440 @ 120hz. looking and playing great. And if your thinking it wont look good as its not the native 4K res then id say your dead wrong. Do some more tweaking over the next few days but I do recommend it.
