Monitor/TV screen

[The Fugitive]

With Amazons sale days coming up I was thinking about getting a new monitor/TV for my computer.

I have an Insignia that is over 10 years old.

Display: 39" LCD panel with a 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution, 60 Hz
Contrast Ratio: 5000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for vibrant color display
Audio: Two 8W built-in speakers
Connectivity Inputs: 3 HDMI, 1 DVI, 1 Component video, 1 Composite, 1 PC/VGA
Outputs: Headphone/analog audio and coaxial digital audio
Mounting: VESA 200mm x 200mm standard
Dimensions: 36.1" x 23.3" x 4.4"

I'd like to keep the same size or there abouts. I use it for AH, video editing and some drawing stuff tho most of that is now on my drawing screen.

I use a Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti I dont want to break the bank, but Im not sure what kind of picture upgrade is available. Compared to what I have will the new screen be clearer, faster, brighter. Not sure what to expect. If it doesnt look a lot better why spend a crap ton of money.

Any thoughts or recommendations would be geat.

Thanks

I suggest you look first at the choice between LCD, OLED and QLED.

I bought a viewsonic monitor with DVI on it, the DVI port died 2 months after I bought it

I use a 77 inch LG OLED with the same card you have.  It's nice, but the remote/operating system is terrible compared to my old panasonic plasma.  OLED is still the best picture but not sure it's worth the money for gaming.

Thats the boat im looking to find. Staying the same, then there is no need to actually buy a new tv/monitor. Deciding between LCD, OLED, Mini LED QLED, QLED or 4k should it come to that Is which is worth the money?

LCD is old tech, even moving up to 144 Hz would I see a difference?

OLED is the next step up, but with QLED prices coming down it is going to be the "oldTech" sooner rather than later. But price is good, will I see a difference in the picture or is it not much of an upgrade?

QLED both mini LED and strait seem to have good reviews, better blacks, less motion blur, sharper picture and so on, but now we are starting to move into that price range that make me cringe.

Then 4K, tomorrows tech today. But a really scary price, but if it worth it for a great picture that will last me like this last TV, maybe a good deal.

I have a number of screens.....



Left one is my 24 inch smart tv, center is my dumb tv used only as a monitor for my computer, right is a monitor used as a second screen for editing and discord and such.

So technically I dont NEED a smart TV, a 32 inch gaming monitor would work fine. Is that the way to go, or stay ahead of the game and just get a smart tv to use as the main screen?

In the picture, on the right is a viewsonic monitor. It was replaced with a Samsung after my wifes monitor died and she took mine. Never had an issue with it, but thats how it can be with any piece. Ive had some cheap stuff last forever and some more expesive stuff crap out after a few months or so.

ALso, DVI is old tech, HDMI has been out done by "Display Ports" due to the loss less signal they use, again, is it worth it or would I not even notice?

I run a 4K OLED, 32" and it sure is pretty. For AH however, I run it at 1440 so I can actually see what I'm shooting and missing at. Everything else goes 4K and I dare say it's luscious.

If I were to do it again, I'd buy a nice 1440 at a decent size and price.

[haggerty]

cant go wrong with a nice 2k monitor, you'd want 120hz or higher, and yes, the difference is beautiful for gaming.

I'm a fan of Ultrawides personally. I broke one of mine yesterday mounting it to my simpit (oops) so just picked up an Acer 34" curved 1440p 200hz from Bestbuy yesterday for $280.

[JimmyD3]

Had to replace my old monitor several months ago, Micro Center here in Dallas a nice 34" curved monitor for $259.00

AOC CU34G4 34" 2K WQHD (3440 x 1440) 180Hz Curved Screen UltraWide Gaming Monitor AMD FreSync Premium Compatible; HDR; DisplayPort HDMI; Low Motion Blur

Very happy with it.

I assume you are not a fan of VR.

Got to be honest, I really don't see a difference between 1080p and 1440 or 4k when I'm playing a game.  However, higher frame rate is very noticeable.  It's much smoother and makes gunnery and reading what's going on in flight a lot easier IMO.

I like VR, but have a hard time keeping track of whats going on around me. Between turning my head and using view buttons I get lost far too often.

That is what Im hoping for.

OLED is an upgrade BUT if you are going to use it for gaming then I'd go with a cheaper QLED.
