[Ant1]

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

 

[N0ddie]

Budget?

The ROG one I have is only in 27inch, but this is not too dissimilar;

Ps. The one above, will let you see what I could see last night 😂😂

 

[McGherkin]

Actually awesome. 4k120, OLED with great HDR, very low input latency, 55 inches, £900

Oh and it’s a TV for watching films in great quality and s**t. I know it’s massive but honestly do not underestimate the experience of gaming on a big TV

EDIT: I swear that 32 inch bit wasn't there when I posted that lol. If it was my bad

I have the same one, 55" LG OLED, it's mega!

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

As good as the LG is, I'd much rather game on a dedicated smaller monitor.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I game on a LG 950 27" 160hz 1ms

This is the newer version with HDMI2.1 and USB3.0 as well.

[N0ddie]

I’ve just switched from 27” 1440P @ 270Hz to a 42” LG C2 OLED @ 120Hz.

It’s near perfection for just under £900.

This one in the link is what I have and it's been great so far. Annoyed too as it's also cheaper now so great value for money imo. 27" though.

Is that’s a 4K screen?

 

[N0ddie]

Is that’s a 4K screen?

It is yes. 42" of pure 4k OLED beauty.

 

[Ant1]

As Leah’s thought anything over 32” would be too large but that looks good.

I've just got a 32" Viewsonic 4K monitor for work. The colours are properly good. Not the most expensive or best thing around but definitely a good monitor

Depends really.

I've got a 27" ROG for the majority of gaming - but for the racing setup, being sat a few feet from an 50" plasma is much more impressive.

Would love to update it with a much newer 50" (or bigger) TV though!

 

[Ant1]

Thoughts ?

I feel like this is a better option tbh I can't work out why that Asus one is so expensive when you compare specs unless I'm missing something obvious.

I've got the previous model. Same panel iirc but just has hdmi 2.0.

Had it two, nearly three years and really happy with it.

Is there a comparable monitor to this for cheaper anywhere? I think 34” is a bit OTT though. Currently 27” (1440).

Wants-

4K
OLED
Curved
Preferably 32”

I’ve just got one the same size for work and it’s not as big as you think it would be. It’s the same height as a normal 27” monitor.

I’m not sure what games support ultrawide though.

I’m hovering over the buy button, bud. If I don’t see anything better this week I think I’m gunna order it. Might have to rearrange the desk a bit though as it’s cramped enough as is.

 

[Daz...]

You say you want 4k, but that one is 1440p ultrawide. A 4k OLED monitor would likely be north of a grand I imagine.

Lots of new 32” 4K OLEDs unveiled at CES this last week.

So it is. God bless you Darren.

Alienware have a 32” 4K 240Hz OLED that looks outrageous.

~£1200? Probably a bit more than I wanted to pay. Was thinking of £800 ish but if it really is THAT much better than everything else and is worth the extra few hundred, then I might crumble. 😂

I take it it'll need DSC for those refresh rates?
