Times up, need a new monitor
1 August 2025
Kept looking for a decent upgrade to base everything else off of.


these are just baseline monitors chosen

BenQ RD280UA 28.2” 4K 3840x2560
3840 x 2560
60hz
speakers

2560 x 2880
60hz
speakers
these are just baseline monitors chosen


this is what should be running with current system
Acer X27U BMIIPRUZX 27" 240Hz OLED 2K
2560 x 1440
this is what should be running with current system


this might be the downgrade and yet is bigger and not sold anymore
MSI MAG 341CQP QD-OLED 34" 175 Hz QD-OLED UWQHD
3440 x 1440
this might be the downgrade and yet is bigger and not sold anymore

yet this one is and even older and bigger and still sold
ASUS ROG Swift 49" Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (PG49WCD)
5120 x 1440
yet this one is and even older and bigger and still sold

and this is what would make most sense to buy if want to go all new
ASUS ProArt Display 32” 3840 x 2160

Samsung LS57CG952NNXZA 57" Odyssey Neo G9
7680 x 2160

What exactly would be your usecase? What Hardware do you use right now?

The Neo G9 is also on another level of performance hungry as it's practicaly 2x4k.
So, if you want to game you're pretty much stuck to the best Hardware all the time.
Just want to let you know about that.

28in is way too small for 4k, same dpi/ppi as a 14in 1080p laptop

27-39 in is good range 1440p
or 40+ for 4k

only get oled if you plan on replacing it in 2-5 years of use

heh so you are going from being bottlenecked by your monitor to being bottlenecked by your PC hardware
unless you play like 10yr old games you will not get anywhere close to 100fps at 2x4K
Maybe wait for Labor Day sales.

I don't trust LG and Samdung.

I like ViewSonic, or Asus if there's a good deal. Don't be too proud for 1920x1080. It's still perfectly adequate. Maybe look for something that can do DP daisychaining.

if all the reviews are to be believed both LG and Samsung (probably not Samdung) have released some really good monitors in recent years I mean their TVs are among the best AND all the other monitor makers use their panels because Acer, Asus, Dell, HP etc dont make their own panels

i didnt know ViewSonic is still around they were pretty big like 20 years ago

PC entertainment usage;
Dungeon crawlers.
Might and Magic X had a 4k and it was marvelous when watched it that way.
Why picked those baseline kinda for that old CRT dimension.
Stonekeep,
Dungeon of Dragon Knight,
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance

As for work related almost wanted an 8K and be done with it, way outta the park with that just one found and realized if that's the case should just wait for 16K*shrugs*

In Usage Now
Two 39 inch tv monitors. For the speakers and the multiple taps for other things.
Gametop system, not breaking more then 20% usage of resources.
Everything has been managing too well and figure when stops working be abrupt and planning for worst.

kidding just think it is funny use this to run the Odyssey
ONIX ODYSSEY Arc B580 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0

KIDDING! How the system suggested not a clue was first thing on the screen when doing a check right now.

Alright, 40" 4K native, 1440 28",

No speakers are needed can't get into it to many issues. Requests have been ports are at the back and not on the side or below.


Mini stagecraft the odyssey have notes to put it into practice for demos.

Still this is maybe more the interest
LG 28MQ750-C
2560 x 2880
16:18 ratio
is as the
BenQ RD280UA
3840 x 2560
3:2
just vertical over horizontal, right?
those ratios and resolutions
Honestly want to go with LG though do sit further then a foot and a third away.
There is some different style monitors TV mirrors or ultra thin Frame TVs, not looking for a channel to tune to. Just something of a new monitor for that experience.

games that arrived and are old would be Stonekeep, Dungeon of Dragon Knight, maybe the newest yet not a dungeon crawl Shinobi: Art of Vengeance for that whole reason of baseline

Read the Odyssey loud and clear complete full on everything including the space gonna need.

right now 2 39 inch tv monitors. for the speakers and the multiple taps for other things. doing away with speakers is fine and one hdmi one display port will be symmetry,

Gametop system going desktop very broad sweep into a build has been researched past 2 months and came across get a monitor see what happens with what have and go from there, not breaking more then 20% usage of resources. Everything has been managing to well and figure when it kills itself gonna be abrupt and planning for worst.
right now it will be an AMD build pure and simple everything from same manufacturer.
In a way have the space for the monitor and desktop I just don't know how they will sound in the cavities prepped in the rack.

Alright, 40" 4K native, 1440 28",
Mini stagecraft the odyssey have notes to put it into practice for demos.

Maybe it's just me but I would need to reread it like 4 times to understand 50% of this text somewhat properly.

Could you reword or atleast reformat it in a cohesive way?

Sry, if it's just me who doesn't get it.
These are baffling choices.

I would certainly NOT buy one that is "older". Monitors are improving quickly at the moment. No point in getting something that's already out of date.

Monitors are very personal, but if there are OLED's that fit the bill, I would go with one of those. That's only if you spend most of your time gaming.

That 57" display at 8K resolution is just ridiculous. You don't need more than 4K resolution for a screen of that size.

The 32" at 4K is also excessive. For a screen that small, imo 4K is probably more resolution than you would appreciate. 1440p would make more sense for a screen of that size.

If it was me I might look into setting up a multimonitor setup with a cheap 1080p or ultrawide display for doing non-gaming computer stuff (depending how much screen space you want for work), and a larger and more expensive 4K HDR OLED display maybe like 60" to 80" in size that you switch to for playing games or watching movies/tv.

Why the separate 1080p display? So you can rest assured your beautiful large OLED won't get burn-in from your non-gaming desktop computer activity.

So then if you're gaming on the OLED for maybe like 2 hours at a time with breaks most of the time, you probably won't have much if any problems with image burn-in.

If it's for movies and games and size is not a problem then why not a good OLED gaming TV? 50-65' or so? Or some high end gaming 85' QLED?
Get one of those 32:9 monitors. Once you go super ultrawide, you can never go back

Too long didn’t read. So ive heard 4k res monitors right now are a lottery hit or miss if you get a good one or not. Why risk it? Unless I’m wrong which I may be.

Do you just want 4k that bad you’re willing to deal with a back and forth with a company?

You think? One advantage is less AA is needed the higher the pixel density and it offers a crisper image the higher it goes, on OLED it also helps with the fringing you can get on certain edges due to the pixel layout they have the higher the density, I run a 1440P OLED and text is ok but not IPS good, 28" 4K closes that gap.

Back and forth to parts of the office. 28 inch made sense as a baseline(vs barebone 17"). Never to late, learn to read implying 4K happens to improve text over a 1440 that's a good reason over many. Thank you for that observation.

Newer 1.07 billion color true 10 bit is a definite. Hardest working part is the brightness keep reading above 500 want and most are below. Every brand has a different standard? Reason the 32:9 on the list and not on the list. Standard is not curved and is a want possible something to experience at that range, carefully fit it to the rack to dome over would be a chance to create a mod for such gameplay.

Checked ViewSonics, NEC variety and still need to run a comparison to wireless. The build would be like a business plan of 5 years to seat in all the components. Okay won't be five years just never sure how purchase power does effect opportunities. The plan is still for 8K. Gonna be a lotta burgers flipped for a bunch of summers, no?

Tried looking at 65 85 signpost tv style and wasn't looking forward to playing a indoor golf game or such thing.
