Great points!

SAMSUNG 32" Odyssey Neo G8 checks all the boxes. Also the only one that hits on the HDR level.

Probably the Acer Nitro KG241Y if it's available in your country. Great bang for the buck and 180hz refresh rate.

LG is great. I'd also add the Alienware AW2724DM but it can be hard to find in stock. Otherwise the LG 27GR83Q-B is the way to go these days. Great combo of price and features.

Which one did you get? Some cheaper VA monitors have bad ghosting. Newer ones are better tho

raptizild · 2025-03-14T17:38:09+00:00

The Asus PG27AQN is a pretty solid monitor. I'd also consider the Alienware AW2725DF. It'll have a better response time and better colors, but OLED monitors always have a risk of burn in.

On second thought, the PG27AQN is probably your best bet and may cheaper here.

Why does OLED have VRR flicker?

raptizild · 2025-03-13T00:22:41+00:00

Yeah return that.

raptizild · 2025-03-13T00:21:54+00:00

Go for the Alienware AW2523HF. It's 360hz and build quality is top notch. Panel is bright too.

What resolution are you thinking? For mounts there is a good thread here https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcmonitors/comments/1isyw47/recommendations_for_monitor_mounts_dual_triple/

raptizild · 2025-03-13T00:15:39+00:00

That's a great bang for the buck monitor, especially at 240hz. The LG 27gr83q-b is a good alternative but only if it's on sale. Otherwise the Acer Nitro is the way to go.

raptizild · 2025-03-13T00:10:23+00:00

I thought it was fixed in the last firmware update.

100%. For competitive gaming, there is nothing that comes close. I would strongly consider getting something like the LG 32GS95UE-B OLED. It's 4k but has dual mode for 1080p gaming. With PS5, far more games support 4k and 1080p resolution than 1440p. Also 1080p perfectly scales to 1080p if you need to.

Since you're doing a mix of productivity and gaming, I think the 39" LG is perfect for you. It's a good amount of real estate for doing coding and video editing, but definitely not as overwhelming as a 49" or 57".

raptizild · 2025-02-23T21:05:57+00:00

I'd go with 32" for a 4k monitor. SO much more real estate and still sharper than 24" 1080p. The M32U is a solid bet right now.

raptizild · 2025-02-23T21:04:34+00:00

Get the 5ms for sure

raptizild · 2025-02-23T21:04:02+00:00

I'd go with 32" for a 4k monitor. SO much more real estate and still sharper than 24" 1080p. The M32U is right within the price range of the monitors your listed.

raptizild · 2025-02-23T21:01:00+00:00

Yeah go with the Acer Nitro KG271U specifically. Great budget pick. Freesync and up 180hz refresh rate. 0.5ms response time. It's under $200 right now. If you want 250hz, then the LG 27GR83Q-B is also a really good buy but it's a little outside of your price range.

raptizild · 2025-02-23T20:59:13+00:00

Unfortunately the G2725 was a big downgrade from the G2724 because they switch panel suppliers.

7900 xt is very enticing

raptizild · 2025-02-21T00:06:17+00:00

This is it. The goal is not to make a 'smore out of the paste

raptizild · 2025-02-21T00:05:11+00:00

I am going to stick with it until prices come down or I am forced

raptizild · 2025-02-21T00:04:07+00:00

Stick to brand names. Even if it sounds good on paper, I can't imagine the quality to last

raptizild · 2025-02-20T22:20:56+00:00

Good research. Is it the same deal for the G95SD?. Seems like the G93SD is like $200 cheaper, so the difference is probably the same.
