Good Monitors

I can recommend this gaming monitor:

BenQ MOBIUZ EX2510S Gaming Monitor | 24,5 Zoll IPS 165Hz 1ms HDR

The sRPG mode is really good and allows good editing of photos in Photoshop.

Is this the monitor you're using?

I like big screens nowadays as I no longer play online games that require super-fast response times. Besides, a 4K resolution only makes sense on screens that are at least 32" in my opinion, though I'd personally still prefer 1440p on a 32" screen.
I'm generally not interested in ultrawide resolutions or curved screens.

I've waited a long time for the one screen to rule them all and after a long series of disappointing models and reviews, I have finally settled on the 43" ASUS ROG PG43UQ (the UQ is not to be confused with the inferior 8Q model) back in the first CoVid spring of 2020.

It had almost all of the items from my personal wishlist: 4K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, certified G-Sync compatibility, 10-bit color and HDR 1000.

I'm very happy with this screen. Gaming feels very cinematic thanks to the sheer size of the thing. Like pretty much all huge displays, it isn't going to win any Speedy Gonzalez awards but it is plenty fast enough for offline games of all genres including fast-paced shooters.

The only disappointment, which probably is not directly related to the screen, is the HDR stuff. I have never been able to achieve good results with HDR. Quite a few games are even unstable (nVidia driver issues) with HDR enabled. The so called "Auto HDR" feature of Windows 11 is a huge disappointment as it does not work with this screen at all. The desktop image quality is still unacceptable with Auto HDR turned on.

I have stopped caring about HDR by now. It is too much hassle and too much fiddling required to get decent image quality and, quite frankly, the quality of the screen is excellent as is, so I'm not even sure why I would "need" HDR anyway. HDR is no longer a wishlist item for me. I won't pay any attention to it when purchasing future screens.

HDR aside, I'm a very happy camper. The image quality is great, 4K at 43" is perfect (no scaling past the default 125% in Windows required), 144Hz is great and G-Sync prevents tearing reliably.
I'm using nVidia's recommended control panel driver settings for G-Sync displays, i.e. V-Sync enabled in control panel (this prevents exceeding 144fps and thus leaving the G-Sync range) and V-Sync disabled in the game while Low Latency Mode = set to Ultra to minimize input lag.

The next big thing I'm looking forward to might be a 43" OLED (LG) or QD-OLED (Samsung) or micro LED screen whenever they become available and affordable (about €1500 max for me).
The only thing that I'd like to see improve over my current screen is response times. An even better image quality would be a nice bonus but I'm very happy as is because it's already awesome and much better than my previous LG 32" 1440p G-Sync display (32GK850G-B).

Yes - since yesterday.

It seems good, I didn't know that brand.

I like my Razer raptor 27

Hey, congratz for the acquisition. Now, onto the graphics card

I ordered the LG 27GP850 Ultragear the other day, still waiting for it to arrive.

No reason to only get 4K on bigger screens. I use 24" 1920x1080 monitors at work, and a 24" 4K at home on my dedicated gaming machine. The clarity (especially with fonts) on 4K is just so amazing due to the high DPI, that 1920x1080 just looks unbelievably ugly. No way I'd willingly go back. Unfortunately, at the superwide resolutions (see below) you don't have much choice and still have to deal with lower DPI resolutions.

I'm generally not interested in ultrawide resolutions or curved screens.

Have you actually tried the ultrawides? I'd say the ultrawides/superwides/etc are the best thing to happen to monitors recently. On my work machine at home I use a 43" superwide (3840x1200), but the big thing on the high-end right now is the 49" superwides that are 5120x1440. Both sizes are like having dual monitor, but with no gap between - which matters a lot more than you might think. It's really life-changing for productivity. Probably not that helpful for gaming, but for work/productivity purposes I could never go back on this upgrade either.

As far as curved screens, I didn't think I would like them either, but when you have a monitor that's 4-5 feet wide like the 43" and 49" superwides, a bit of curvature is a very good thing, I think it'd be problematic to not have it.

My monitor and my wife's are both BenQ. I'm very happy with both of them. Mine is a refurbished XL2420Z I got over 6 years ago and I've never had any issues. Her monitor is the "StarCraft II/ RTS Gaming Monitor" I bought over 9 years ago.

They're not a very well known brand in the States but if you live here you can order direct from their US site.

My LG CX is the best screen I've ever had.
