Monitor Suggestions?

[Charlie P]

What are some monitors I should look into to purchase? I need something that goes well with rtx 3060. I know it’s good for 1080p but I don’t want to limit myself, incase I ever upgrade components. I would possibly use a ps5 on it too. Should I go with 1080p, 1440p or 4k?

Yeah I was thinking about getting 1440p. What refresh rate should I aim for?

A minimum of at least 120 hz, although 144 hz is more standard these days. Even brand new 144hz screens are dirt cheap (like $90 new for a 1080p/144hz 21.5" screen new for example) today.

It's more about display technologies. DO NOT get a TN panel! They look awful from the sides and have terrible smearing when lower in their refresh range. Try to find an IPS or VA panel if you can.

1440p gets my vote, I had a 3060 for six month's and it worked flawlessly with my 32" AOC 1440P 144HZ.
Best of luck.

sure, as long as you keep native resolutions:

• 1080p 24" native ..or..
  
• 1440p 27" native
  
  
• 120 Hz or 144 Hz, everything above is overkill like 240 Hz,
  good for Alien Eyes though xD
  
  
• < 1 ms respond time
  
• 100% DCI-P3 at least
  
• DisplayPort 1.4 minimum, 2.x preferred
  
• Minimum 500 cd/m²
  
• No OLED screen to prevent burn-ins !!
  
  
• 200~250 EUR

A RTX 3060 would run @ 30 fps on 4K at best.. so.. forget this.
4K needs at least a RTX 3070 Ti / 3080 / 3090 / 4070 / 4080 / 4090 ..

27 inch 1440p is what I’m going to start looking into. Thank you.

As much as I despise Dell- I have to say I am pretty happy with my older Dell S2716DG monitor.

Pretty expensive when they were new, buy you may be able to find NOS units at some electronics stores, or online.
144 Hz \ 1440p. VSync/GSync, 1ms response time.

Dell computers ♥♥♥♥, IMHO, but their monitors aren't bad, and they have other less expensive models that would be fine for gaming, as long as you aren't trying to do pro e-sports stuff.

Just be sure you are looking at the S2716DG (NVIDIA VSync/GSync support for NVIDIA GPUs only) not the S2716DGR (AMD FreeSync support for AMD GPUs only).

Thanks, I’ll check out some Dell monitors.

I have a controversial opinion and think that 4K is the new sweet spot for two reasons:

1. 4K screens are excellent at handling lower resolutions with an almost non-existent non-native blur effect. In contrast, 1080p and 1440p monitors are basically stuck with a single resolution, as the non-native blur is close to unplayable.

2. DLSS/FSR and other upscaling solutions shine at 4K. You can upscale any resolution to 4K and adjust the performance.


I currently have the 7900XTX, so 4K is not a big deal, but I had a Radeon 5700XT before and had no problem with a 4K screen at all. 1440p still looks great. Many lighter games were working at 4K60 or even 4K120 (like Risk of Rain 2, Hades, etc.). If a game had FSR, then 4K was not a problem at all.

The only potential challenge is that even with DLSS, games at 4K need a bit more VRAM, but it's not a problem for the 3060 12GB.

That’s kind of what I’m looking for. A monitor that can work with different resolutions, that way I’m not stuck with 1080p for example if I was to ever upgrade components. Now the thing is finding a monitor that does that well. Thank you.

It’s funny you said this. I was looking at an Aoc monitor but I think it was 27” and 160hz, heard and read nothing but good things about those monitors and they’re pretty cheap. That might be the one. Thank you.

I wouldn't rely on dlss too much if you are someone that can't ignore small graphical errors or things looking like the screen was smeared with Vaseline .

DLSS is what causes blurry graphics?

At the end of the day it's ai, and ai can only do so much.

1440p is double 720p,
4k is double 1080p

1440p to 4k does not scale evenly
like how 720p does not scale nicely to 1080p
4k is also 3x 720p so that does also scale evenly triple pixeled HxW

I have a 27" 1080p 144hz AOC monitor the AOC-27G2, I *LOVE* mine. It's the best monitor I've had to date. The only negative thing I would say is trying to watch TV shows or movies it doesn't do very well with very dark scenes or completely dark areas of a scene. BUT that's nothing wrong with the monitor, it's just the technology. Only OLED's can get true dark/blackness, all other screens can not. So it's nothing really to complain about.

"A" grade Dell monitors have the absolute standard regarding dead pixel allowance of zero tolerance, although very pricey.

[_I_]

there are only a few panel mfgs, any display from the last 10 years should not have any dead pixels, unless its damaged

DLSS is what causes blurry graphics?

DLSS upscales lower resolution to a higher one. Upscaling is not a problem - low input resolution is.

The effect is rather bad on a 1080p monitor and decent on a 1440p monitor. It looks best and occasionally better than native at 4K.

To give some perspective - DLSS performance mode at 4K upscales from higher resolution (1080p) than DLSS quality at 1440p where input resolution is 960p.

DLSS quality at 4K upscales from 1440p.

i would go for 27 zoll full hd (1080p). 1440p-gaming is expensive, if u know what i mean...
