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?

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

27" 1080p is blurry

i have 24 zoll pivot monitor by acer and i am satisfied and some people dont have the money for super hardware...just like me. i would surley go for IPS panel and 1080p...maybe others too.
i dont want to be offfensive. i am sorry.

I would NOT advise 4k.
your gpu cant do 60fps on 4k. (need 4070 or 3080 for that.

4k only makes sense on a monitor of about 40 inch.. those excist but cost about 1800 euro.

1440p would be good for your gpu.
your gpu can do 55fps at ultra 1440p.. meaning at medoum settinfs 1440p is playable.
-cheapest good 1440p screens start at 250 euro.

LG UltraGear 27GR75Q-B
MSI G272QPF
Samsung G50A 27" (AG500PP)
Philips Evnia 27M1N5500ZA/00
ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ3A
Dell S2721DGF
Xiaomi Mi 2K Gaming Monitor 27"

are all good picks around 250 euro
just pick the one thats cheapest/best available near you of these.

ips
2560x1440 (1440p)
27"
100hz or more
1ms responcetime or less
Gsync & Freesync

that be what you want.

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

So for example I’m using a 4k tv right now. if I want better in game performance lower res to 1080p not 1440p and use dlss? Since it scales evenly, right?

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 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.

These Aoc monitors seem like the best bang for buck. I’ll check out the one you have too. My gpu is best with 1080p I’m hearing. I’m just concerned about getting a new card one day, I would probably want to use a higher res. Does 1080p still look nice for games on high settings? I never used one.

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

That sounds good. But I don’t need anything too expensive. I just need a monitor that gets the job done performance wise and quality is pretty good. A good budget monitor is more what I’m looking for.

I'll look into that. But ive seen 1440p monitors for $200-250 which is not too bad.

Thank you for this response and listing monitors to check out. The only reason I mentioned 4k is so I can have options in case I wanted to use my ps5 on it and then maybe lower resolution when my pc is hooked up. But it sounds like monitors dont really do that well, so i guess your kind of stuck with one resolution.

From my experience 1440p looks miles better on a 4K screen than 1080p.


If a game has DLSS I would play at 4K and adjust the DLSS. You have quality, balance and performance mode. Just check what looks and run best for you. Experiment :)

No game runs well for me lol even when I lower everything or use dlss. Always lag/stutters/frame drop, which is part of the reason im looking into a monitor in the first place.

all i wanted to say is, that 1080p needs a slower gfx for the fps and 1440p needs a lot, lot more powerful gfx board. i have a rx 6600 by AMD and i can play games like red redemption 2 at minimum 80 fps and doom eternal too. i am happy, because this gfx board only needs 100 watts power consumption. if i wanted to play games at 1440p i would be forced to buy something like nvidia 4070 super or so. i cannot effort this, but i like my pc like a pet.

How do you know that your screen is causing performance problems if changing to 1080p doesn’t improve anything?

Well my screen is a 4k tv not a gaming monitor. im just assuming its playing a part in bad performance. What else do you think it could be?

So you dont think rtx 3060 can run at 1440p?

If the stutter spikes are measured and you see no FPS gain after lowering the resolution it usually indicates a CPU or memory bottleneck.
