What kind of monitor do you use?

Which one would you get if you could have any one of them?

Which one is the best and why?

Size, resolution, refresh rate, wide vs extra wide, GSync vs ActiveSync

Qled, Oled, Led, LCD

Links or it isn’t real

I have 2 of the 32" MSI monitors.
Samsung Odyssey is also a good series.


Honestly though sometimes I wonder if a 49" Ultra wide would of been better than 2x 32"
Would of saved view space on plastic bezel, but made it harder to get a proper sync + Recording.

Edit : Never thought I would get a curved monitor, thought they were dumb but bought them by mistake and, tried them for a night.
Ended up enjoying them and not returning ( really good for games like league of legends ) where enemy's are sneaking up to you from a blind spot, Especially if near the corner of the screen, but Definitely about 22% more noticeable because the corners are more centered.

The other thing I would like to mention about MSI is there Black/White contrast ratio 3000:1 is super good compared to most monitors that are only 1000:1
Its easier to see anything in the dark. Great when playing " Rust " , or watching movies like harry potter.

27" 1440p 165hz BenQ Mobiuz, VA Panel w/ HDRi 400, 1000R (Current)

If I were to switch out my monitor, I might try a 34" 1440p 144hz Dell Ultra Wide, VA Panel, HDR 400, 1800R

1440p seems like the sweet spot for mid range, VA Panels have great contrast which I enjoy in games & good for movies etc as well

Sweet! I feel good about my choice now.

I think it was worth it to get the 1440p Oled at 240hz cuz I’ll be doing rocket league as well as diablo games and trying other ones. I love me some forza too.

I was looking for an ultrawide, currently have an odyssey G7 curved non ultrawide and not impressed so I don't think I would like the odyssey ultrawide. Thinking about the AOC CU34G3S 34 VA. The BenQ Mobiuz EX2710R 27 Inch QHD is also VA. Gaming wise I always thought IPS was better. Is there a good IPS ultrawide monitor or is VA fine for gaming?

I tried the LG Ultra Nano IPS & returned it for my Mobiuz EX2710R VA, I like it so much more. Maybe it's the contrasts, but I just enjoy gaming on VA panels more.
One thing to keep in mind on that Mobiuz is it's 1000R curvature (closest to the human eye), it can be an adjustment for some. I've gamed on 1800/1500/1000 and 1000 is my favourite.

The Oled one I got for some reason does a weird flashy thing when I start certain games. I’m trying to make it not do that but idk
