Why would you not put the viewsonic xg2431 in??
Love to see the love put into all your videos! From setting up chapter, which is amazingly helpful for rewatching specifics parts and the amazing and throughly explanation of the subject before the recommendations. Planning on building a pc this year and it's hard to find some parts in my country, but it gets easier to chosse something after learning what to look for
Thank you!
Just saw you're brazilian, by your name brother, come to America, build your dream PC in months. From what you've written I'd say your english is pretty good, if you're younger than 26 you might be elegible to the same work & study visa program I chose to come here. And the investment you make on the program is roughly about 5k BRL, so, pretty much 10x cheaper than most programs. and you get to move to the U.S
@@PCBuilderChannel Hi, I have Rtx 4090 and amd ryzen 9 7950x3d. Literally i can't choose the monitor, Should it be 2k or 4k. I play CS2 and also i play RDR2, Bannerlord too. İ know, for competitive fps games, we need more Hertz more Fps but im mixed player. What is the best choice for our? Can you guys help me objectively? 4k will amazed me while i play rdr2 ? or 4k will damaged me while i play cs2 ?
Stayed up until 1am trying to decide which monitors to get for my new set up. Two hours later, this video was released! 👍
lol picking a good monitor is the "worst" part of pc building in my opinion.
So glad that worked out! Thanks for watching :)
@@NeatoFoxyeah so many options that can be extremely similar and even models from the same manufacturer are hard to distinguish sometimes.
Pick your monitor first then build your pc
So...which one did you get?

omg i just asked for this yesterday and u delivered!!!!!!!!!!!!!! amazing Jay!
We got you!
Well structured video! And its important to keep those updated.. Gotta admit, my Benq 2780Q I bought last year got outdated in terms of raw numbers, but Im still amazed by its color quality and all the nice features. And everytime I turn on the game engine, I know that Im up for a treat. I feel lucky for kinda not missing the shot on this one, since I basically trusted reviews and my research alone. So I still go with the advice that if you have the chance to check out a prefered monitor in person, do it. Cause you cant really tell if u like the colors or brightness and such if not in person. Numbers and all are nice but in the end, what matters the most is that if you like the quality you are looking at, if the contrast suits you, if its bright or dark enough etc (given you've already chosen the right panel and features for your specific needs already). So since you will be looking at it a lot of your time, Id choose this kind of criteria (color quality, brightness, contrast, reaction time etc) over a little more hertz, let alone chosing another screen just cause its a little faster or a few bucks cheaper etc. Ofc it all depends on what it is you wanna do with it exactly, but you better like what you see or you might regret it in the long run.
Thanks for sharing!
Another great video Jason! Thanks for sharing, best wishes and stay well buddy!
Thanks 👍
You ARE THE BEST PC Builder!! Your videos helped me finally build my own first PC. The consistent details and benchmarks you give are like no other channel I can find at the moment. I’ve been looking high and low for Monitor benchmarks and suggestions to go with the build. You literally dropped this video at the right time. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
That's awesome! Congrats on your build! So glad we could help!!

Congrats on your build! Glad we can help you out with your monitor pick (:
Which one did you get? Are you happy with it? I'm in the same situation lol
@@burningicecube2486 so rn I came to the conclusion that it would be smarter to wait for new OLED monitors coming out this year to hit the market so these older monitors will drop in price. Since switching to PC I find myself fawning over the graphics rather than refresh rate.leaning towards going with a 4k 144hz but 1440 OLED 240hz is enticing.
@@wheresmysandwich505that depends on your GPU then, many GPUs won’t run newer games at 4k 60+fps without upscaling, and 4k is much harder to run than 1440p ultrawide and costs way more with current GPU prices. But for future proofing then sure. I’m about to pull the trigger on a Samsung odyssey G5 34” ultrawide, seems like a good deal when it’s on sale for under $400. I’ve been playing at 1080p60hz my whole life and it’s not enough for fast paced first person shooters anymore 😂
something important to remember about ultrawide is that it will be more taxing on your GPU, generally less than half the decrease in FPS of going up a resolution level, for example, 21:9 ultrawide 1440p is about 1/3 of the way between 16:9 1440p and 16:9 4K in terms of GPU performance. so if you are planning on getting ultrawide and are looking up performance specs for your GPU at a certain resolution, either look for ultrawide FPS numbers specifically, or remember to bake that in to the 16:9 numbers you find while researching
yes that makes sense, i also research about getting uw 1440p monitors and always look at gpu performance of 4k to be on the safe side. If it can achieve 70+ fps on 4k high it will be enough for 120+ on 1440 uw
From other benchmarking channels I’ve seen, 21:9 pushes more pixels so VRAM and memory speed is important to have enough of. Typically it’s about 15-25% of a performance hit on average games IF you’re limited by GPU and have some CPU headroom. So for a 100fps benchmark at 1440p you can expect about 75-85fps, of course some games will not be that demanding like league, Valorant, cs:go, etc. You can always turn down graphics settings one notch from ultra to high or high to medium and get a boost from 10% to 30% more frames depending on the game and your CPU/GPU combo.
Just adding this tip since it's related to monitors, if your monitor has terrible color banding (where switching from very different colors and contrasts, like black and white, creates rings on the screen as the color transitions), try turning the overdrive setting on the monitor to something like balanced or picture quality. My G27Q had terrible color banding whenever it faded to a black screen but changing the overdrive settings fixed it.
I'm thinking about buying the same monitor, g27q. I read that is a bit slower in terms of response time. Is it really noticeable? How's gaming on it? Image quality and ghosting?
@@matteobuoninconti618 I haven't had any issues with ghosting or response time beign too low after changing overdrive to picture quality. Everything looks really nice on the monitor (and bright, this monitor has really good brightness)
Bruh
@@lucutes2936 what?
thank you for all this information. it really is great to see a channel that gives information but presented in an easy accessible manner for beginners like me to understand.
So happy you found it so informative! Glad that we could help with some learning :)
nice seeing your channel grow man. keep it up! 💯
Thank you so much! Yeah we're growing fast and appreciate all the support.
I have the Neo G9 and upgraded to the OLED version. Let me tell you, I am not disappointed at all! It is such a vibrant, immersive monitor. Yes, it is pricey, but wow, personally, I haven’t seen anything better. i am running a Ryzen 7 7800X3d , Nvidia RTX 4090 ( thinking of switching to a AMD 7900XTX)
I'm glad you pointed out the falacy with response times. I have been pointing this out for years on facebook groups to be told I don't know what I'm on about. Feeling smug right now haha
haha! Yes we can but try to help people around that (;
this was interesting to learn. thanks for the comment

I got a 1440 hp omen monitor initially, wasn’t happy with it, text was blurry and the colors weren’t great, just felt like I was looking at pixels all the time. I returned it and got a gigabyte m27u in 4k, really happy with it, the pixels are so dense that I can’t really see them at all, text is amazing, everything looks sharp and impressive. It only cost about a hundred bucks more, but it was really worth it.
Hey how is it working out so far what type of games do you play?
u mean the m28u right? is it responsive in competitive games?
@@FutureDreamZz working out great, I've been playing God of War most recently. some Civ 6 and Call of Duty.
@@jairosskopf9491 No, M27u. 27nin screen, 144 hz I think. I'm not a competitive gamer or anything but it seems responsive enough to me.
Can confidently say the LG27gr83q is a great monitor! I love it! Thanks for the video!
Love how fast you talk. Very informative on top of that. Great channel!
Glad you're enjoying the channel! Thanks so much for tuning in :D
Dell G2724D is amazing budget/midrange 1440p. Full review and specs on RTINGS. Very good video!
Thank you!
The dual refresh rate monitor asus is coming out with looks amazing please try and get your hands on it asap for review! 4k at 240hz or hd at 480hz
Watching another year seeing the amazing difference between prices in your videos and prices in Europe, not sure if I'm missing the good stuff or if people is just faster than me
Bought a VA 165hz panel, worse shit ever, terrible black smearing, stick with IPS for gaming, thank me later
100% agree my brother has va 144hz litreally worst dession ever
Yep and people said more expensive VA are good…..yeah my bf had one that was like $300+ and it looked colorful and blacks were deep but the ghosting and smearing was horrible
I bought a Gigabyte 165hz VA monitor a few years ago and I initially hated it so badly. The black smearing was horrendous and made gaming such a bad experience. After spending about 2 hours fiddling with settings, I found a good custom setting that almost got rid of all the smearing but sacrifice some of the deep black. That being said, If I could go back in time I would've bought a lower refresh rate IPS monitor.
Lmao 🤣 don’t listen to this person
Odyssey G7 VA 240hz was and still is a great panel especially if you find it cheap, saying all VAs are bad is misinformation. That said, a bad VA is worse than poor performing differing panels
I bought the LG 27GR83Q-B for myself for Christmas. Went from 240Hz 1080p Alienware to this 240Hz 1440p LG and I absolutely love it and recommend it! Oh and I bought my son the Acer Predator XB283K V3bmiiprx 28" 4K monitor as well and he loves it too! Good choices recommended here.
Love my Ultra Gear. I find that a 27" monitor is too small for me though, so I went with the 32. They make such great monitors!!
Great overview … what were your thoughts on the 32” 4K OLED’s at CES? The Aorus was the only one with DP 2.1 … probably what I will get.
This came at the best time, my monitor has been giving signs of death for the past month and I was just gonna look for a new one today. Thank you.
Happy timing! You got it, thanks for tuning in.
I think we have to talk about OLED TV's aswell. I've been using a 55" LG B9 OLED TV as my "Monitor" and it has been amazing! 120 Hertz and GSYNC, and no Burn-In to this Date. I have never seen one of these 27" OLED Monitors, but i'd like to think that my TV looks better, even though it's slower. The sheer Size of the Panel is just something to behold.
S95C is the king, 55", 65" and 77" w/ 144Hz VRR support. Obviously not a monitor though, make the space and use a side monitor for taskbars icons and windows
How can you use that huge a tv as a monitor ffs? You’re supposed to sit back when looking at such a big tv.
@@paradiseb5950It's not that difficult if you have the space for a second "island" desk or stand. Just need to get the right distance. My main desk only has a side monitor and KB/mouse. Perfect for the cat to chill on it while I game!
Lg c2 42" here, its great for work, over 2 years now, no burn-in. Slow pace games look AWESOME on this monitor, 120hz is enough (for me)
IM SO HAPPY YOU REVIEWED THE AOC 240HZ MONITOR. I bought it and it’s been phenomenal. Especially for the price!!!
Yes! I'm super excited for this budget 240hz gaming monitor AOC 240hz 1440p.
i wish i could buy this Thing but im from Germany and in Germany theres a similar Monitor but it cost more Money thats stupid. 😅
Is there any black or stretching when scrolling pages or moving quickly in certain games?
@@zymxz there’s no stretching. I have a normal 60hz and the AOC 240hz next to each other for dual screen and you can tell the difference once you go into your windows settings and turn on the 240hz. little to no ghosting when I shake my mouse left to right
@@wilsongv95 good to hear I got a monitor a while back and that was on thing that drives me crazy to this day it’s never bad but it’s just bothering. Appreciate the feedback
the AW2725DF is really nice just got mine yesterday i love it
Another awesome, helpful video Jason! 🙌
Thank you! Really hope its helpful
Bought the LG 27GR75Q-B, really nice monitor, pretty happy about the buy

Love to see the detail, research and education in your videos. Definitely earned a new subscriber!
Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying the content! And thank you for the sub. :D
If u plan on going with an oled, remember that they have issues with gray and dark gray shades, they will look dirty or like if they have interference... If u use dark mode in windows then forget it as u will see dark horizontal lines through the dark gray shades. The reviewers dont usually mention this because they just dont test them properly before publishing the review. But if u dig for the information about the gray shades on oled u will find it.
Using oled for 2 years now, no dark mode, haven't even heard about this problem till now
Thank you so much, I checked other videos about gaming monitor 2024 but I think this one is the best on comparing and explaining the spec
Thanks for that! Happy to share :) And thanks so much for watching.
Literally posted a day after I ordered my new 4k monitor 😂. I ended up with a KTC M27P20PRO just because I really wanted mini LED for the backlight. So far so good, and it's the exact same panel as the CoolerMaster 4k monitor
Thanks Jason, I've been a 32:9 user for at least 8 years now. I seam to find the 1440p cards for 1080p play seam to work the best. These new IPS screens you got me into during the pandemic has made the 1080p experience better than ever. Especially for Sim racing. I have not tried a curved monitor yet. You don't talk to often about them.
What monitor do you have ?

Thank you Jason! Just ordered the g28u off your link, really excited, I’ve been on a 1440 60hz office panel for 8 years. The jump to a real monitor is very exciting!!
Awesome! Hope you love it
The MSI Mag274QRF-QD used to be around the 400+ price point seeing it at 312 imo is a great deal and a good time to grab it as I've been watching it very closely.
Very instructive, I've been thinking about getting a 1440p OLED 144hz monitor but those price YIKES... I'll probably hold off for several more months hopping prices drop to a more justifiable price.
Very nice content! Is there any info or timeline for the upcoming oled 240hz you mentioned?
I've always loved the BenQ monitors. I had to sadly give them up when I put together my most recent PC.
Awesome video! I just finished a build with a 6700XT, looking to pick up a 1440p monitor. Leaning toward the Acer Nirto XV272U, but also interested in the Sceptre E275B-QPD168. Do you have any information on the Spectre? I know its a little less Hz but is also $50 less.
Just got an lg oled flex coming tomorrow for my setup cant wait shit looks bad ass
Ended up getting the MSI G274QPF-QD from Newegg in Canada. Your videos always have incredible reviews, thanks for helping gamers like us!

The Walmart app constantly has the Acer Nitro 32in curved monitor on sale for $130 shipped. I just got one, and am building my first PC for video editing and light gaming. Add in two smaller 24in ONN monitors, and boom. Heck of a sweet 1080 setup.
i have just been looking for a gaming monitor thank you sooo much for making this
Hope this is helpful!!
I recently bought the stuff and built the $1500 1440p pc you had in a video. Works great. I play a lot of warzone. Just wondering if you’d know why the cpu could be at 100 utilization
Awesome video!!! I’m guessing for someone who does gaming and video editing a 4K OLED is ideal? I caught that curved monitors aren’t ideal but I missed the part on what the ideal would be but I’m assuming it’s something like the LG OLED C3?
I have an LG C3 OLED. I cannot go smaller than 42" now that I've experienced it and it is visually stunning. A massive difference over nice 1440p IPS panels. The color accuracy, vibrancy, and depth are incredible especially in HDR. (I only run anything in HDR now) Once you try OLED there is no going back. Once you try 42" there is no size better to fill your vision without losing information, although you may prefer other sizes for different use cases. For most games 42" is king.
@@Matyas_Doktorlg c2 42" here, I back the colors claim. For productivity 42 inch is enough, I finally don't have a wish that my monitor was a bit bigger. But! Id say that for work even 32 4k would be good and for gaming - 1440p 27 would hit the spot in case of screen space. I had it and for pure gaming 27 is enough, not for work though
What a timing! Currently I am looking to buy a new monitor.
I wanted to upgrade from my LG32GK850G but everything is just worse sadly. I thought of buying one of the OLED ones but those are all bad. Either they are 27 inch which is too small or 24 inch and only at 4K which makes no sense to ever play at that resolution. So the only 2K ones are too small and the only bigger ones are slightly too big and 4K And on other monitors I kinda have an equal issue, G-sync is also something so few monitors have.
Can you do a video on best multiple display setups and monitors? can you have 1 main ultra wide and 2 wide on either side? do GPU's work like this. 3 displays with main display in the center for gaming.
Great video. Will last the length of the Oled monitors
Essential video! Another serious guide is provided by PC Builder. Keep up the good work, Jason! 💯👌
Awesome thank you!
This channel is amazing!!! U guys do the BEST!!!!!
Thanks for that! So glad you found us :)
Awesome content!! Quick question.......whats up with the head gear? 🤔
It's been 30 degrees in New Orleans and the houses here aren't built for this weather!
WHAT A BLESSIG JASON WAS STILL USING YOUR 2023 MONTIOR VID.
Happy to bring you the updated version! Thanks so much for watching :)
Great video as usual! If you do another video like this, would you please say what the lowest GPU you would pair with the monitors? I currently have a 7900XT and would love to know how high or low of a monitor to pair with it. Thank you!
1440p or 4K would be good with the 7900XT.
I got the XV271U and it's pretty great for me, almost no ips glow (only a little bit on the top left corner) and no dead pixels on mine, the only issue regret I have is that I should have bought 2 instead of 1
i just went back to 1080p from 1440p and got the vg259qm. still keeping my 1440p display but i want more frames. From what I'm hearing it sounds like I made the right choice
absolutely amazing review, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Hey Jason what do you think of mini led monitors?
Amazing video as always. I'm currently looking for a nnew monitor so this video came at the perfect time! I would have loved a clarification if 240hz is worth it. I always ask myself if there is a big deffirence between 165/180 and 240hz and if its worth spending more money on it
If you play competitive shooters where you are going to push those kinds of frames rates it is. And because their prices have come way down they feel even more worth it to me. But if you don't play those kinds of games then I'd say its not worth it. Focus on image quality.
Hello Jason, Manage to watch the whole video, learned a lot new and understood now some things which I did not understand before. However, let me ask. Is it possible to get your opinion about GIGABYTE G27Q 27inch?
So it seems like a fine Monitor, but I think the GS27Q has replaced it.
Snagged the LG 27GP850-B for the 299, wanted a nice vertical monitor.
i have a m1 pro mac and just day trading should i focus on resolution like lg 5k2k 40” or refresh rate gaming like lg gear 45”? Or do you have a better recommendation that has usb -c ?
Hey jason, juat wondering i was going to getca curved monitor but is it a very good idea, i plan on doing keyboard and mouse gaming but also a bit of casual gaming on my couch. So is curved a good option for me? Because i have heard that ita not good atbthe wrong viewing angle and that peiple get motion sickness
That's going to be personal taste I'm afraid!
I am going to buy a budget 4k monitör been eyeing Lg 27GR93U-B I checked some other monitors like Samsung's 144 hz 4k Odyssey but among the budget ones I checked the one I mentioned seemed like the best choice to me. I am going to be sacrificing HDR here but that is something I am going to be okay with. Would you recommend this monitor? I own an rtx 4080 so my pc is fully able to take advantage of the monitor. Currently I own a 1080p monitor for work and 55'' LG oled tv for gaming but having to switch between the two feels like a chore.
Really happy with my 32" G7 that i got a while ago but I think I got the upgrade bug with all these new monitors releasing. Want to upgrade to one of this years OLED, but will wait for price drops. $900 for 27" is still quite expensive and $1100+ for 32" is too much.
@PCBuilderChannel - apologies in advance as I don't know much about gaming, however, I'm in the market to get a new monitor. I don't do any gaming but I do watch movies and stream netflix on my laptop equipped with an Nvidia GTX 2070 Max -Q. Will a 144hz monitor provide motion smoothing for movies also, or is just for games? Is it totally different from a native 120hz panel TV that upscales videos (make them look like soap operas?) . Thanks in advance for your help.
You don’t need that on watching movies it is only applicable to games, even at 60hz the movies won’t be affected
Managed to get a LG 32GR93U for £380 down from £700 last week. Great monitor
Nice!
Hi Jason! I saw you recommended the Gigabyte M34WQC. What do you think about the M34WQ since its IPS and a flat ultra-wide? Was hoping to read trusted reviews on this monitor... Thank you for the informative video as always!
u might look into another flat ultrawide with 40" msi mag401qr
wish there was a 32" version of this vid!! thanks for the info
what are your best recommendations for a 32" 240hz monitor at both low and mid range price points? thank you so much for your amazing videos and helpful information !
Purchased the AW3423DWF yesterday. Absolute best monitor I could ever have. First ultrawide as well. Pairs decently well with my 3080 10gb which I will be holding on to until 5000 series or Rx 8000 series releases. Monitor is definitely the best looking as of right now for its worth. If in USA, definitely recommend buying from Best Buy and getting their 4 year warranty on it as they do cover burn-in replacement. Dell is kind of lackluster when it comes to warranty. the $150 BB warranty is more than worth it. And if in 2 years you get burn in and they don't carry the monitor anymore, you'll get a full refund and can use that to get an upgraded monitor instead!!
Hey Jason, do you know much about the Asus VG27AQL3A? It caught my eye because it has built in speakers but it doesn't have hardly any reviews or recommendations from big KZheadrs.
This just might be the most helpful and informative tech video of all time
So glad you found this video so useful! Hope you keep enjoying all the content :)
Super happy with my LG - UltraGear 32” Nano IPS QHD 1-ms G-SYNC Compatible Monitor with HDR - Black (taken right from Best Buy's website). This monitor is amazing. Been playing Avatar Frontiers of Pandora for the last few days and the visuals are so amazing on this monitor. An OLED, in my opinion, would be the only thing that would make it look better. And, that is my Black Friday 2024 purchase. I'm going to be dropping all my extra into a separate account so I can finally join the OLED elite. Not sure if I'll upgrade to 4k at that point, or remain at 1440p... I really do like this resolution for gaming, and my 7900XT just rocks all the newer games at this resolution.
Yeah don’t waste ur money on oled. Ur got even going to run really high fps at 4k without frame gen from Nvidia, Depending on ur cpu an the games u run an the games dev’s but I’ll tell u now it sounds like u plan on wasting some fat funds my friend for minor to no real time performance increase. If u had the 7900xtx or a 4080 ti super an at least a 5800x3d, or 7800x3d. Or even better the 7950x3d. The last 2 CPU’s are what u need at high fps 4k with higher end gpu’s. Other wise ur not going to push 4k as high as u may think. Just please do more research before buyin. Look into the greys an black problems on oled pannels. Look into the leak side of things. See if new stuff’s coming out an when it may release an if the new stuff is or isn’t gonna make the old stuff drop hard. See if people are actually sayin that oled is fully solid or trash in areas. An find out which brands have the best oled panels with no problems an which are lying. I can give u step by steps here but I’m going on now 🤣 just start diggin my good sir!
I upgraded from 1440p 27" VA to 4k 42" lg c2 oled. For movies - you won't ever go back to old monitors. For productivity - 42 inch is a lot of space, sure it has its quirks, but after some getting used to its fine. Gaming - i don't play much, Baldurs gate 3 in Underdark area looks fantastic, star wars fallen order with HDR looks also great but! My 3070ti is not able to push 60+ fps at 4k even in this old title so be careful as even 4090 not able to max out fps in 4k now. I have no issues with OLED, maybe dimming on its own is somehow annoying, but panel is protecting itself from burn-in and I still hasn't got any in 2 years
Great video man keep it up 🙏
Thanks so much! We shall, hope you keep enjoying all the content :)
I like how you break down the specs keep it up looking for oled 4k 2160 monitor
Thank you!
thanks for the reccomendations i got the midrange ultragear. 27gp850b i believe it is. i wanted the 32 but i just cant justify over 200 beans extra for it.
I appreciate your content im currently researching for my new monitor and trying to find the right one for pc trying to switch to 1440p and make sure it runs xbox series s at full 120hz and all the information im trying to take in on top of keeping track of which monitors will and wont be worth the money and not take even more performance loss anywhere is a nightmare lol. I recently seen the samsung g9 is on sale but i really just play first person shooters and im worried that would take away even more performance and id regret the choice later.
The g9 is super ultrawide so I don't recommend it for console. Remember ultra wide and super ultrawide is not supported well on console.
@PCBuilderChannel yea I'm going to avoid the g9 I just really want an oled and trying to justify the price range was a little easier with that monitor size lol. I know it's not the right monitor for what I need though. I'm sure I'll be more than satisfied with an oled that fits my needs though.
I really want to step up to an HDR OLED monitor. My LG C1 has completely changed the game for me with watching movies and shows.
its prone to burn in thats why i hesitate to buy oled monitor.
Hey, PC Builder, planning to buy MAG 325CQRXF. Need your recommendation please, thanks.
Surprise to see the g5 is not on the list. I got mine on black Friday for a 32-inch for 225usd ( I paid 350 cad after tax and shipping). The price was so insane that I had to put pressure to enforce the contract. To be honest, 32 inch is so big on my desk... I love it. Thx Jason for helping me to be a more aware customer
For that price that's a good buy! Its just not well priced at the moment
I have a 4k compadeble pc and i play on a 1080p tv it works just fine and no lag👍🏼
amazing video. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! Hope you keep enjoying the content!
Hi Jason, what are your thoughts on the Samsung Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen?
Would love to know of any websites or sources that can provide actual tested response times of monitors. Great vid this was a way to gauge what monitors to consider
RTINGS tests all the monitors they review. Their reviews are also very detailed and were great when I was buying a monitor.
I'm currently at 3060 Ti 8GB and looking for a new monitor upgrade from my crappy LED monitor, but planning to upgrade my PC after the 5000 series come out next year perhaps so this video helps a lot thanks.
Glad its helpful!
Amazon has bumped up almost all the prices. I've the LG QHD 240 hz was still $350 I would've grabbed it, but I'm gonna wait till it goes down again. Hopefully in March
For Ultrawide 1440p monitors, I HIGHLY recommend the Dell 3422DWG (34") when on sale. It's been incredible. It does decent HDR, height adjustable, and comes with a 3 year warranty.
how many hz ? and do you use display port or hdmi ?
Following I just bought the LG 34” monitor for $250 it’s 165hz with a display port
@@dznuttzonyachin7499 144Hz over DP.
I've been using LG C1 TV for work and gaming since it came out. If I were to upgrade I would probably go to the newest version of that.
Nice! Yes we have the C3 in our living room and love it
Same for me. I bought my 65 inch c1 last year and I dont think I will upgrade until something goes wrong with the tv.
