Would Like Some Advice Please

[Darkspire]

First off I am a UK resident.

I recently managed to get a Xbox Series X and was looking for a monitor that would use the console to its best display capability, having done some research I am under the impression that I need to look at a HDMI 2.1, I also am aware that at present monitors that support that are like looking for hens teeth, is it worth waiting for a while till they are more readily available?

I have stood in Currys marvelling at the big TV's that support what I am looking for but am aware that a monitor, although smaller, will give an even better and much sharper image.

I have had a look at the LG 27GP950-B, folk on here have mentioned the heat is an issue as well as the OSD setup, so not sure about that as I have four cats and one of those is a Maine Coony and they do like to sit near whatever I am watching, Berty my Maine Coony is a bit on the large side and he does like his Youtube garden bird videos and I don't want him to give up his hobby due to heat.

TLDR Looking for a Xbox Series X HDMI 2.1 Monitor 28''+ that uses the Xbox to its full capabilities and would like some suggestions.

Rtings have a good size measurement recommendations article worth reading. They also review TVs which is what i'd be looking at in your shoes. Monitors being better than TVs is not true, and they vary a lot.

I had read the Rtings section on size / distance and I am about four foot away from my current TV, the general guide on there is 30'' for that distance, I currently have a 32'' 1080p TV although the image is very good I promised myself when I had a Xbox One X that I would get a 4K and did not get around to it, now I have the Series X with all the added extras for a 4K setup it would be good to get a better display that used those extras, having said that a good sized monitor would be the preferred option as I am looking to outlay around 800 - 900, most TVs are double that.
