Next logical step .....monitor.
Ehrm what would be an upgrade to AW3423DW. It needs to be an OLED and it needs to wow me like AW3423DW did and still is.
Any suggestions? Are there some yummy, new OLED monitors out there. Hehhehe. Nice. Thanks.

Upgrade? From an ultra wide 1440p 175hz Q.D. O.L.E.D? I dunno man. Seems like you're close to top of the heap when it comes to monitors for a while

There's a refurb MSI MPG 321urx QD-OLED for about $650 on Newegg right now though.[www.newegg.com]

4k, 240 hz.

TL:DR - if your current monitor is the AW3423DW, there's really no need to upgrade right now.



the AW3423DW already is among the best QD-OLED monitors, aside from a couple new features, there's not much that can feel like a "wow" compared to the monitor you currently using, at least in the ultrawide scene.

The MSI MPG 341CQPX is an option for $750, but if you already have the AW3423DW is still almost perfect.

the only meaningful improvement you would notice between your current ultrawide monitor is that the 341CQPX from MSI has a 240hz refresh rate. if you play low-time-to-kill competitive shooter games like Counter Strike or Valorant 240hz definitely is beneficial over 175hz. both monitors have perfect contrast, near-perfect color, perfect refresh rate compliance, and have the same resolution, so no other meaningful improvements.

unless you want to go fully endgame with multiple different monitors on a hot-swappable vesa arm like I do, you're not getting enough of an improvement to bother upgrading IMO.

If you do want to go down the hot-swappable monitor setup rabbit hole (very expensive) where you have your ultrawide for your non-competitive games and a super high-performance esports OLED for twitchy competitive games, then I'd consider the new 480hz 1440p WOLEDs, or the new dual-mode 4K WOLED monitors that do 240hz in 4K and 480hz in 1080p. paired alongside your ultrawide either of these two would make your setup capable of having the perfect monitor for pretty much every game out there.... for a massive cost that is.

Yeah i would just keep that monitor, idk if you can get much better because it is a qd-oled I believe rather than a regular one and they seem to be well made and perform just fine with regular refreshes

The upgrade would be an OLED version of the AW3823DW, but one doesn't exist yet. Best to hang on.

There’s upcoming 5k2k monitors which are twice the resolution of your one. 5120x2160. Coming May. OLED of course. They have a mode for 16:9 for things that don’t support UW as well.

Thats sounds like something I could use with RTX 5090 or 5080 but 5090 would work better.

It’s still the king until 38 inch 5k uw oled arrives so there is no real upgrade only a side grade to say the 27 inch 4k 240hz.

Awesome. Thanks a lot. These 38 inch 5k UW sound amazing.

Yeah I feel like the fps will be a bit middling with a 5080, 5090 should make up the pixel difference.

Be cautious about 5k2k. Right now your 3440x1440 monitor doesn't match the resolution of a so-called 4k (3840x2160) monitor, so it's easier to drive. 5k2k is the same horizontal resolution as so called "4k", but has a vertical resolution that is 1300 pixels wider (5120x2160), so it is going to be significantly harder to drive frame rates to the same heights.

Second, I vaguely remember that smaller apertures meant less brightness when L.G. introduced their 42 inch televisions. Higher resolution at the same screen size also decreases the size of the pixel aperture, and brightness is already a weakness of O.L.E.D. I'm not so sure I'd want to upgrade an O.L.E.D. screen unless it was significantly brighter than the one I already had.

Plus it's not just the strength of the graphics card itself, so much as the bandwidth of the plug, although I suppose the 50 series has displayport 2.1b

I'm not s sure you'd get that same wow factor anyway. O.L.E.D. from L.C.D. is wowing because its the first time you've probably had an emissive display technology that has pixel perfect brightness since C.R.T. O.L.E.D. to O.L.E.D. however? I think you'd need a significantly brighter display to achieve that.
