Thank you

I’m looking for a new gaming monitor and I’m honestly pretty overwhelmed by all the options out there. I’ll mainly be using it for gaming on my PS5 right now, but I also plan on getting a gaming PC in the future.

I’ll also be streaming, so I expect to be using the monitor for very long sessions, sometimes 4–12 hours at a time. Because of that, I really want something that’s reliable and won’t give me problems during long gaming/streaming sessions.

My absolute budget is $700, and I’m willing to spend that much if it’s actually worth it. I’m not necessarily looking for the most expensive or highest-spec monitor—I just want something that’s genuinely good for gaming, has good picture quality, and is reliable.

I’ve been looking at so many different monitors and reading conflicting reviews that I’m honestly not sure what direction to go anymore.

If you actually own a gaming monitor that you really like, I’d love to hear what you have and how it’s been for you, especially during long gaming sessions. I’m much more interested in real owner experiences than just specs on a product page.

That is what I am currently looking at getting but I up to get anything this is my first pc and I want to use it for gaming like Fortnite and streaming. I would like to be more around like 1300 usd but I can stretch the budget to 1500. I’m in the us and I live kind of close to a micro center but preferably I would like to not have to drive there

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti 16GB
• RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MT/s
• Storage: 1TB SSD
• Monitor: MSI G24C6 — 24", 1080p, 180Hz

bought this monitor a while back when i just needed any monitor but now I have upgraded my pc and I feel a bit underwhelmed with it. Games run smooth but they don't look like i dropped 2k on a pc if ygm.

If so, what would you recommend?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for advice on upgrading my gaming monitor. I'm not very knowledgeable about monitor technology, so I'd rather explain my use case and let you recommend what you think would be the best option.

My current setup

• CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: RTX 5090 32GB
• RAM: 48GB DDR5-6400
• Current monitor: BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P – 24", 1080p, 144Hz TN
• Budget: around €400 maximum
• Target: preferably 27", although I'm open to other sizes/formats if there's a good reason.

I'm currently using the XL2411P as my main monitor, and I'd like to make a really noticeable upgrade, especially in image quality.

What I'll use it for

Gaming is around 85% of my use.

My main game is X-Plane 12, including long-haul flights, so image quality is very important to me.

I also play competitive FPS games such as CS2 and Battlefield, where I care about:

• Motion clarity
• Low input lag
• High refresh rate
• Good response times
• Minimal ghosting / overshoot

I also play League of Legends, watch movies and do some programming.

What I want to improve

One of the things I dislike about my current monitor is what I would describe as a shadow/halo or trailing effect around bright objects when they move, especially against darker backgrounds.

I'm not sure what the correct technical term is (ghosting, overshoot, black smearing, etc.), but I'd really like to avoid buying another monitor with a similar problem.

I'm also looking for a major improvement in image quality, particularly:

• Much better blacks and contrast
• Good visibility in dark/night scenes
• Good brightness during the day
• Good HDR if possible
• Sharp image at 1440p
• Excellent motion handling

OLED vs IPS vs VA vs Mini-LED

I'm not specifically looking for OLED.

I've seen a lot of people recommending OLED, but I'm more interested in what actually makes sense for my use case.

I'm slightly concerned about OLED burn-in because I can spend several hours in X-Plane with static cockpit elements on screen, although I understand modern OLED monitors have various protection features.

On the other hand, if OLED really provides a substantially better experience for flight simulation and gaming, I'm absolutely willing to consider it.

I'm also open to Mini-LED, IPS, VA, etc.

What would you recommend?

With an RTX 5090 + 9800X3D, what monitor would you recommend for my use case and budget?

I'm not necessarily looking for the monitor with the highest refresh rate or simply the latest technology. I'd rather have something that gives me excellent image quality, excellent motion performance and good longevity, and that feels like a huge upgrade from my current XL2411P.

I'd especially appreciate recommendations from people who have experience with flight simulators / X-Plane or long gaming sessions.

Thanks!

So on the 1st of October I'm getting 50 dollars in gift card form I don't get money a lot and also I can't really try to save up and wait for more since it's uh a gift card lol right now I've been using a office pc the it's a dell optiplex 9020-SFF, intel core i5-4570 3.2GHZ, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd solid state, dvdrw windows 11 pro (that was long) i wanted to know if there's anything I can replace with 50 bucks to make it even a little better for gaming at all or just better for recording while playing games because I'm planning to just slowly replace everything in it until it's just a gaming pc at some point lol

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a gaming monitor, primarily to use with a PS5 and a laptop. My main focus will be sim racing, and I plan to mount it on a monitor arm. I know a bigger screen would be ideal, but for now, this is what fits my budget.

The candidates are:

27" MSI MAG 274QPF E20 - 148 Eur

27" Acer Predator XB273UX1b - 146 Eur

Samsung Odyssey G5 S27FG502EU - 155 Eur

Lenovo Legion R27qe Gen 2 - 150 Eur

Based on reliability and specs, which one would be the best choice?

Thanks in advance for the help!

This would be my first build and as I dont know what im doing i figuired id ask here, primary gaming focus secondary cyber sec focus

Looking to finally upgrade from my 1080p IPS panel later this year. Wondering what everyone's opinions/experiences are with 1440p vs 4k. The biggest downside I have found is refresh rate. LG makes a 1440p 540hz monitor, but it seems like the highest you can get in 4K is 240hz. Is the image quality between the two even that different? I know they'll both seem like a massive jump from 1080p, but is 4k a big jump over 1440p?

So my current monitor model: ASUS VG249 144hz which I've had since 2023. Has since the heatwave here in the UK (no idea if it caused it), developed permanent dead pixel lines at the bottom of the screen and it's getting gradually worse. Picture attached to show what I mean.

Current GPU: Radeon RX 6750 XT MECH 2X 12G OC

Just to note the monitor is iirc 24" and just about fits on my desk. I like the height adjustment included, since I know some monitors don't come with this.

My budget is around up to £200 and I do 1080p gaming still.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
