gaming monitor rec?
Posted on 7/17/22 at 8:40 pm
Posted on 7/17/22 at 8:40 pm
ive always just used whatever tv I had in the past, but now im interested in a gaming monitor.
I mostly play first person shooters on xbox series x.
but i also have a mining rig I may steal a 6700xt or a 3070ti from to build a PC and may get into some pc gaming as well.
probably wanting to keep under $500. any specific recs or brands or features to look for?

How serious are you about being competitive with fps versus things looking pretty?

i dont need it for being super competitive. doesnt the series x cap out at 120 hz? i want to max out what I can get from a series x with some extra wiggle if I decide to game possibly with a future pc build.

For 500 bucks you should be able to get a damn good monitor

im hoping to keep it well under 500. just kind of a first thought wouldn't spend more than 500.
just wondering what some of the tried/true brands or models may be.

How far away are you planning to sit from it, at least for the time you’re using it for console?

thats a little tbd. im moving to a new place and gotta figure out my setup. sitting closer is an easy option and is not a problem as i can move a chair or something easily. i planned to be sitting closer than a TV across the room.

I don't really have a recommendation for a sub 500 monitor. But if you are in the market for a new TV I highly recommend a Samsung q90. They are a true 120fps with g sync and among the best picture quality and HDR in the business. I have a Samsung q90 85" in my living room that I have my 10700k/3080ti gaming rig hooked up to and it's the best gaming experience I've ever had bar none. I also have a wireless mouse, keyboard, controller and headset to pair with it at couch distances.

I'll second this recommendation. Grabbed one last week for under 300 and couldn't be happier.

I got an UltraGear 27GP850-B a while back and have loved it so far. It is going for $350 right now on B&H.

the alienware 25" 360hz monitor is very nice

I asked this question a while back and got good answers. I found that its a mix of complicated specs and personal preference. I went with the Monoprice Dark Matter 32in QHD IPS Gaming Display, 2560x1440p, QHD, 165Hz, 1ms.
LINK
Its on sale right now for $249.99. It looks fantastic, IMO, but I'm not sure about all of the real response rates (that 1ms isn't real) and refresh rates. I play PC games and my PS5 on it, even though only certain PS5 games have 120Hz. Some on here may have issues with this one but I like it so far. My rationale behind this one, if I hate it and want to replace in a couple of years, it wasn't super expensive.

Best Buy Dell 27"
Had this for about 3 months and love it. Listed for $449 but got it on sale for $300. 27" 165 Hz 1440p. I'm on Xbox series X so I can get the 120 fps on certain games, but plan on going to PC in the next year, so it should transfer over just fine.

I use the same and not sure I would be happier than anything else.

$500 is a pretty high budget for a monitor.
Competitive gaming- 1920x1080 240 hz monitor
Single player (or games that don’t benefit from high frame rates)- 4K 100-120hz monitor. 60hz is fine but you’d be doing yourself a huge disservice with that type of budget.
Middle ground- 1440p 100-144hz monitor
Don’t bother with anything smaller than 27”
I’d recommend 1440p but can’t recommend specific brands/models because I don’t look at or research monitors often. I’ll be upgrading to a 1440p monitor soon. Can’t wait
