What’s your budget? Dell has a good deal on their
AW3423DWF. It’s an OLED, which is great for content consumption and games.
…It’s also an OLED, so there is the very real risk of burn in from static images, like the windows task bar. A three year warranty is offered to protect against that…but its only 3 years covering not exactly an inexpensive item, that I expect to last well beyond 3 years…
I’m running a 10 year old 2k resolution ASUS PB258Q IPS flat panel that runs about as good as it did on day one.
The
Acer Nitro XV275K P3 gets resounding reviews for the quality of the display. It frequently goes on sale at BestBuy. Could be worth it when it’s on sale for around $500 like it was last week, but stay away when it’s not on sale. It is a flat panel, which is not what you are looking for, and reviews have noted the terrible experience when trying to work with the menu settings. To me $500 is a lot of cash to drop on a monitor that will be a pain to work with.
What is your graphics card? I’m running a GTX 3070Ti that I bought just as the GPU COVID price spike was cooling down. It’s a great card for 2K resolutions, but it will struggle if I jump to 4K. I could make the devils bargain and knock the game resolutions down…but that’s the devils bargain. The last thing that I want to do is to look at getting a new GPU.
I’m in the same boat as you. Part of me really wants a new monitor. But the more I look. The more I come to the conclusion that what I have suited me fine, until something truly better comes along.
