discussion Monitors confuse me

[fightingfi]

So ive got a 27 inch Monoprice 144 hz monitor. No issues seems ok to me never any issues etc........It used to be i think going to 32 inch for gaming of course was the Ideal way forward...Ive got a 9070xt, 9800x3d all pice 5 stuff so i know good enough for whatever. ALL these new Monitors i see are aimed at 27 inches but 1650hz and higher OLED and other such stuff......Is a 32 inch not good enough id like a higher res perhaps but with the higher hz also. Are there any 3-5 Good to Excellent monitors i should be looking at? Id really which i think might hard to do is keep it under 500 Bucks........Thanks in advanced

Buy whatever you want that does at least 100hz, size is not relevant and merely a preference. Other factors are relevant to some professions as to screen type however at your price point it means buy whatever fits. I have asus I thnk 23 curved? that does 1080p and freesync and a 2k 27inch asus. I prefer any competitive aspect game still on a 23inch at 1080p (I still miss playing at like 720p or whatever CRT's did) it made things so much easier for certain games. Other games are in 2K or my samsung tv at 4k.

1080p -2/4k is somewhat noticeable, 2k to 4k is barely noticeable.

To the last sentence, I’d add depending on the screen size and pixel density. 32” and larger look pretty bad for computing to my eyes at anything less than 1440p.

Agreed. 27" would be my personal red line for 1080p.

32" is really pushing 1440 imo. While I love having dual 32's for work space I think if I could change anything it would be dual 27 4k.

Good you brought this up, I think this is the part that can fool people, and it sounds like OP is new like I was to larger screens with higher refresh. To OP, imagine a a 1'x1' window in your house with a bug screen on it, but you want a bigger window for more light, so you knock out the walls and install a 2'x2' window, but then you dont have any new screen material so you stretch your old piece of screen to fit this new window. Now you have flies and dirt getting in your house because the openings in the screen are larger now because it's a piece made for a 1'x1' window stretched out to fit the bigger window. This is what happens when you have a large size monitor running the same resolution as a smaller screen: the pixels are spread out more making the image less sharp.

Stay at 1440p but don't go bigger than 27" if you're at a desk, 32" if it's farther away and you really don't mind. My 2 cents.

1650hz and higher OLED

What do you mean by this? Are there oled's with that high of refresh now?
