4K monitor recommendations

Easier just to read this than for me to explain.

Display Stream Compression - Wikipedia

Basically I can't tell the image is compressed, especially with fast paced games.

I’ve looked for the new Alienware monitor but can’t find it at any UK retailers? Dell site, Amazon, OC, Ebuyer. I’m assuming it’s not released yet in the UK

At half the price you can't go wrong with this one imo.

I've got a 4k 144hz screen overclocked to 160hz (I can't tell the difference between 144 and 160). And I've got a 1080p 240hz screen. Again I can't tell the difference between 144/160 and 240hz tbh.

I was thinking OLED, or will that really make much difference?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Not a clue!

My TV is 4k 144hz OLED and my monitor is 4k IPS LCD. Couldn't tell you if one is better than the other performance wise. My other monitor is VA, again I couldn't tell you if there's a difference.

 

[Daz...]

The biggest difference should be the contrast. OLED is ridiculously more capable in that respect, although it’s recommended to have the room darker.

Can anyone recommend a good pc 4K monitor? 32” is the ideal size.

BenQ maje some really good really affordable ones at all sizes I've got 2 32" inch ones from them excellent quality

Oled for COD is probably wasted a bit too because you'd probably end up increasing black levels just to see in the shadows better then again maybe it'd help you see in the shadows better. It's hard to compare my C1 against my monitor as it's much better playing on monitor but an easy way to describe the difference in colour at least is the dark stuff is darker and bright stuff is brighter lol. I have the LG ultra gear 4k monitor and recommend it and it's probably more than enough. Worth thinking about you won't be getting much more that 140 frames with your 3080 anyway without turning everything low in graphics.
