July 1, 20223 yr Community, So many options out there these days. Looking for a quality monitor at around $500-$600 USD. Any recommendations would be extremely appreciated. Tim
July 3, 20223 yr Commercial Member I have a 3-display wrap-around set-up. Sort of unique as I can switch them among two PCs depending on my work/play. Originally, they were all 1080ps but I was slowly swapping them out to go 1440. I thought upgrading to 4K was overkill for me as I am like 20-24" from the display and after upgrading I am completely happy with the resolution in sharpness. I haven't even made any adjustments to it. Straight default display settings. Blacks are super black and brightness, if needed, is there. I bought this: LG 27GP850-B Ultragear Gaming Monitor 27” QHD (2560 x 1440) Nano IPS Display, 1ms Response Tim, 165Hz Refresh Rate, NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium, Tilt/Height/Pivot Adjustable Stand. I used to have all ASUS's in the 1080 but I bought a 1440 ASUS but was dissapointed with the picture and decided to try an LG. As said, above very happy with the results. Price was around $390 I think. Now that I have upgraded my GPU to a 3080Ti it might be time to swap out the remaining two to 1440 which will put me around 4K total in resolution if I stretch out MSFS (or P3D) across the three. I think the 3080ti will be able to handle (which is also why I did not go for 4K units). That brings the viewing angle just beyond what I can see/detect when looking straight ahead. A true immersion experience. So I would say take a look at this one to get ya started. I think there are a few models above it if you want more. Now I am thinking if my 3080ti holds up on this setup I may go with one of those ultra-wide displays. I saw a micro-LED 4K (or was it 1440?), that's around a grand. We'll see. Good luck on your search. Ooops, I see you wanted a wide-screen display so this may be all for not, ha!
