What are peoples thoughts in decent size single display gaming monitor. I have a 3080 and 5 ghz 8700k. Already have a triple screen setup on a racing sim rig, but looking for a single quality screen for my desk which I can plug in on its own while not using the sim rig. The Gigabyte Auros 32 inch 4k looks the favourite because of it faster speeds, but the ghosting seems to negate that and the Asus version (PG329Q) though not on sale here seems to be favoured though quality control seems to be an issue?
 
the Asus version (PG329Q)
That's no 4K monitor but run of the mill 2560x1440.


From currently available ones Innolux panel based M32U is about the most balanced.
But I would consider it half assed.
First colour gamut is more like semi wide not even covering DCI-P3, with of course further deficiency in greens (+cyan) to AdobeRGB.
And overdrive isn't as well tuned as in LG panels and is toward agressive side with some overshoot even at full 144Hz, with overshoot naturally growing at lower hertzes.
Also HDMI 2.1 isn't true 48Gbps port, but really just HDMI 2.0+ and maxes at half of that.

Unfortunately for some inexplicable reason LG has been sitting with thumbs in its collective butt and hasn't released single high fps 32" 4K IPS panel.
(and even 27" has super bad availability)
In CES they announced 32" model, but best you can hope for availability is second half of the year.
And considering their 4K monitor history real availability is likely at best for Christmas.

AU Optronics has now the widest gamut monitor, but currently available models have response times from half dozen years.
(qith FALD panel in insanely priced Asus PG32UQX even little slower than non-FALD panel)
Acer actually even cancelled launch of monitors apparently because of not being satisfied with performance.
But there's now new FALD panel in production, which should have modern response times. (and AUO is well capable with 27" 2560x1440 panels among the best)
Monitors with that panel should be out late winter/spring with Acer's "re-scheduled/+named" X32 FP beign one of the first.
 
These are my dream 4K 32" monitors currently but they are pricey at £1100 165hz and £1300 for 240hz.
I'm currently on a 27" LG IPS 144hz panel but getting a bit fed up with lackluster blacks, get around 90fps in demanding games most of the time with a 3080Ti.

These look like they might be great and proper next gen (for LCD) :)
 
Well I have been sitting on my hands and looked at other solutions, liking the LG 38 inch but with what I have ordered I have enough saved for a new 65 inch for living room, I have chosen the Asus rog swift 1440p, It ready for collection, I think that will be better for gaming than the Gigabyyte M32U 4k. I imagine I will get more bluriness in fast pace games and FPS and having to settle for lower frames too, than this Asus model on my 3080.
Anyone want to change my mind before I go and collect it. But Im saving so much money over the ultrawide 38 LG that seems to be the best that I can go to a famous retail outlet and pick up a 4k telly too on way home.
