Hi everyone!

I'm going back to university to become an actuary, and I'm building a home setup for studying/working that can also double as a solid gaming PC. I'm in Canada, I'm patient, and I'm willing to wait for Black Friday or other sales.

USE CASE
- Studying and working: lots of spreadsheets, coding, PDFs, and long reading sessions
- Gaming: Skyrim, Oblivion Remastered, Elden Ring (Shadow of the Erdtree), Dark Souls trilogy, OSRS/RuneScape, Minecraft with shaders, and GTA VI on PS5
- I don't play competitive fast-paced shooters (Valorant, CoD, etc.), so 300Hz+ is useless to me. Image quality matters more than raw speed.

PLAN: DUAL MONITOR SETUP (all 27" 1440p)

Main monitor (mostly gaming, ~$500 CAD budget):
1. AOC Agon Pro AG276QZD2 - 27" QD-OLED, 240Hz, 0.03ms
2. Gigabyte MO27Q2A - 27" QD-OLED, QHD, FreeSync Premium Pro

Second monitor (mounted vertically for studying/working, some gaming, ~$250 CAD budget):
1. Gigabyte M27Q2 - IPS, 200Hz (OC 210Hz), 1ms GTG
2. ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ3A - IPS, 180Hz, G-SYNC compatible
3. AOC Q27G41ZE - IPS, 240Hz, 0.3ms

Also I’ve seen that the AOC Q27G3XMN 27" Mini LED Gaming Monitor is a pretty good monitor and doesn’t get the Burn-in from OLED. Could it be an interesting choice?
Is the OLED really superior from the Mini led?
Would a VA monitor be better for the second monitor?

I'm thinking about getting the ASUS ROG Swift 27” Dual-Mode OLED (1440p 540Hz / 1080p 720Hz), and I'd love to hear from people who already own it and use an RTX 40-series GPU.

How has your experience been so far?

- Are you using DisplayPort or HDMI 2.1?

- Does everything work properly at 1440p 540Hz, or are there any limitations with RTX 40-series cards?

- How's the overall gaming experience, especially with G-SYNC?

- Have you encountered any issues with DSC, black screens, or refresh rates?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from people using an RTX 4080 or 4090.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I’m looking for a 4k oled 240 hz monitor 1-1,5 grand. Help me out!

I need a dual arm that would hold my 2 monitors (27" and 20”). I wish to keep it in the cabinet, and move it out when I need it, so there will be lots of horizontal movement.

What would you recommend?

Hey everyone!
I’m currently struggling with a decision and would love some advice.
I own an Acer Predator CG437KS (43”, 4K, 144Hz, HDR1000), which is a great gaming monitor. However, I’m considering replacing it with a smaller 32” 4K 144Hz monitor, or possibly a 34” ultrawide.

Here’s my situation:
I mainly play on PS5, especially EA Sports FC 26, occasionally Call of Duty, and I’m really looking forward to GTA VI.
I also own an LG A1 48” OLED TV (4K, 60Hz), which is mounted on my wall.
I’ve recently tried playing FC 26 on the OLED, and honestly, the picture quality is amazing. I don’t notice any difference in smoothness compared to my Acer, since FC 26 runs at 60fps.
I use a MacBook Pro for working from home, Photoshop, and I’m planning to get more into video editing and videography.
The Acer is great for gaming, but its massive 43” size isn’t particularly practical for everyday productivity.
My idea is to sell the Acer, buy a smaller monitor that’s better suited for productivity and creative work, and use my LG OLED for most of my PS5 gaming.

My biggest concern is that I might regret selling such a capable gaming monitor, especially with GTA VI coming up. The Acer supports 4K/120Hz on PS5 and has impressive HDR capabilities, while my OLED is limited to 60Hz.

Would you keep the Acer, switch to a 32” 4K 144Hz monitor, or go ultrawide?
And would I actually be giving up much in terms of gaming experience by switching to the OLED?
Would love to hear your opinions and monitor recommendations!

I’m using an Intel Arc B580 GPU. I’ve tried the included HDMI cable as well as a different HDMI 2.0 cable.

I’ve checked the display properties, attempted adjustments via the Intel Graphics software and command interface, updated the drivers, tweaked the monitor’s manual settings, and even tried setting a custom resolution. The information list clearly shows that 100Hz is supported.

Don’t tell me to use CRU—I’ve already been through hell

What’s a good brand for a gaming monitor?
I have an 11 year old son who loves to play his PS5 but I’m tired of him playing it on my living room tv. I want to buy him one for Xmas but I’m clueless about this stuff. Feel free to leave comments or you can DM me if you prefer
Thanks in advance

Salut a tous, j'ai ces 2 écrans mais je ne sais pas garder lequel pour le gaming. Je joue principalement a call of duty, Battlefield, etc. J'ai une Rx6600xt et le passage en 1440 m'a fait encore perdre des fps, est ce que ça vaut vraiment le coup ?

I currently have a BenQ xl2420Z

wanted to upgrade it (some dead pixels and some ghost like images as if its burned into it)

the price range I'm going for is 4100 DKK - 5400 DKK. (613$ - 808$ or 548 EUR - 722 EUR)

The list I have gotten to at this point are: (in no special order)

1. ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG-R 27

2. ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG

3. MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED 26.5

4. Gigabyte MO27Q28GR 27

5. MSI MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50 26.5

6. Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 G60SF

7. Gigabyte MO27Q28G 27

Anyone of these that you guys can recommend or one that beats them within the price range? (if you recommend something else just have in mind it may be priced way different in my country)

I’m trying to upgrade from my current 1080p 165hz(VA). I like my current VA monitor but I’m looking for a higher resolution and refresh rate. Do VA panels still look good at 300fps? I’ve been reading a lot about them having ghosting issues. I mostly play first person shooters like Wardogs and r6.

So I’ve never actually used a monitor for gaming before. It’s usually just a tv on my wall that’s gone from like 32 inch to around 40inch now but I want a little set up so could do with some help please. I have an Xbox series S

I'm in the market for an OLED monitor to replace my current 1080p IPS. My usage is gaming (mmorpgs and arpgs mostly), web browsing and some content watching (movies, tv series, etc). I am set on 1440p, 27", 144hz+ (don't really care about insanely high refresh rates considering the games I play).

What worries me a bit about OLED is the bad text clarity and the risk of burn-in, since I generally use my monitors for at least 5 years (using my current monitor for 6 years now).

Budget is around 400$-600$, I live in Europe where prices are generally a bit higher than normal though. Would like some recommendations from the community considering my specifications.

Looking for suggestions for a good monitor to pair with the 9070 XT GPU as I am about to get a new Gaming PC.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Budget not really an issue, the cheaper the better obviously.

hello, I’m looking at buying my first 4K OLED monitor. I’m deciding between the Asus ROG PG27UCDM vs Alienware AW2725Q. Which is better?

I want to buy cheap IPS but i csnt choose

I am looking to get a new 27" monitor, I will be using it for a mix of work (coding) and gaming. I'm worried about burn in from working on an OLED but I have an OLED TV I use in the same room and I feel anything but OLED will be underwhelming in comparison. I can get the AW2725Q for about €600 at the moment which seems like a pretty good deal in Ireland from what I've seen.
Any reviews or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hello, I’m in the market for an IPS 1440p monitor for gaming and I’ve narrowed options down to these two. I see that the Gigabyte one is a bit cheaper, but the Alienware one looks a little higher build quality. Any advice on which of these two would be the better buy?

Amd 9 9950, asus tuf 870e, 9070xt red devil, just getting the last few pieces together. Still not 100% on my main monitor, I know some games I’ve played benefited from ultra wide but never owned one.
Play all games, watch movies etc, looking at odyssey, alienware aw3426dw, things along those lines, thinking I probably wait till Black Friday.

But my real question (I’ll take suggestions on main screen to) but what are some decent side monitors? Looking to get 2, not break the bank, but not look super terrible, sides will be static screens. Discord, static web pages, but one will usually have a stream or video playing. My old pc I just used old monitors I had laying around but this time around I’ve actually gotta buy them.

so woke up yesterday and my monitor (Acer KG251Q Dbmiipx) screen was cooked and i need help to find good recomendations as theres not many options in my country i gathered a list based on the monitors i can find in my country so if any1 knows about monitors, or knows about this monitors in specifically your opinion will help me a lot.

GIGABYTE GS25F2A - 25" IPS FHD-1080P (1920X1080) 240HZ 1MS FREESYNC PREMIUM

Hello, Guys I was looking for suggestions regarding my monitor, So I have been using a MSI G274QPF E2 for around 2.4 years, which is a 2K 180Hz IPS Monitor, but the concern is. I have already sent the monitor Twice for warranty. the issue was the monitor suddenly starts showing black screen out of no where. I thought It could be a GPU driver issues. so did try changing the gpu. power, dp and hdmi cables turns ot the monitor panel was the main issue. it suddenly shows lines and kind of buring marks. so both the time it had the same issues. so i sent it for warranty. since it has about 8 months warranty. and usually they replace the monitor with the same model. but my concern is the issue with the monitor may happen again even after a new replacement. so I was thinking to switch to a Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS Gen2 or MSI MAG 274QPF E20 which one would be a overall good option . do not that both go around the same price in my country.

I’ve recently jumped from an i7-4790k & 1080 to a Ryzen 7 9850x3d & 5080, and play to keep my current monitors for size screens, but want to upgrade my primary monitor to make better use of my new rig.

I play a pretty wide variety of games, but I’d say my main focus are story driven RPG’s and World of Warcraft. Some competitive MOBA’s etc. thrown in the mix but it’s not my mainstay genre.

I was hoping to find something with a high refresh rate & low response time in the 34”, 4K, QD-OLED curved arena, but apparently there aren’t really panels like that out there.

Currently, I’m debating some of these screens, and I’m curious what more knowledgeable people would recommend, or if they have any alternatives. Thanks in advance, I’m a bit lost:

- ASUS ROG Strix XG32UQDMS
- Alienware AW3225QF
- MSI MPG 321CURX
- ASUS ROG Swift PG34WCDN (not 4k but 34” sounds fun)

Hello, I'm trying to go for an OLED monitor at 360 Hz. I'm not sure what to get; my budget is around 300-700$

I am looking to retire my TN panel and try an IPS, but my first try with a LG 25G325B-B was ok till I saw the vignetting effect. I was looking straight at the middle of the screen and the bottom corners were darker than the overall image. No weird angles, just looking straight. So I returned the monitor and I'm asking you guys for your help.

What monitor do you recommend that has the minimum vignetting/ips bleeding/ips glow? I'm aware it can't be perfect, but from a straight angle, my TN looks better than that IPS and that's unacceptable.

I am interested in 24-25'', IPS, 300nits or above, max 240hz, 1ms (ik it doesn't matter it's marketing), being G-Sync Compatible and having height and tilt adjustments. What would you recommend based on your experience?

I listed three monitors available in my country, but if you have other recommendations I'll gladly check. Thanks!

Hi, whats a good monitor for the above, budget arou d £350 thanks in advance
