Hi guys. Looking for some advise on a decent monitor. 32", 4k, and at least 144hz.

Thanks

So which would be better then?

4k 60Hz
WQHD, 144Hz

You'll miss the high refresh rate - if I had to choose between a 4K screen at 60hz or a 1440P screen at 165 hertz, I'd definitely take the higher refresh rate for now.

In a few years, 4K 165 hertz will be easy. For now, it's hard and expensive.

This depends on you. Have you used 144Hz before? Did it feel noticeably better to you?

You can do an experiment and set your current monitor to 60Hz and see if you hate it. If yes, get 144Hz 1440p. If no, get 4k 60Hz.

I have a 32" WQHD 144Hz at the moment. Will try 60 hz[emoji23]

Just love awesome graphics, thought 4K would be great. Didn't realise getting a 32“, 4K, 144hz wasn't an option[emoji17].

When it comes to gaming, refresh rate beats resolution any day.

4k @ 60hz is a much, much worse experience than 1440p @ 120+hz.

Also, does not help you have a 144hz 4k but you can't push more than 60fps in games that actually do look better in 4k than 1440p.

Soooo, what is bothering you on your current panel?
 
Do you even have a system that can drive 4k @ 60 FPS tho?
 
@dakdriver as someone who has 2x 4k 60hz. (more for work than gaming)

You will miss the 144hz. Simple as that.

2560x1440p and 4K in games. Visually. Its the exact same experience. Just less refresh rate and that... sucks.

This feels more like a downgrade disorder. Choosing res over refresh rate.... I cannot call that an upgrade.

Seriously though, 2 points;

a. If you plan on buying a 4K 144hz panel, first upgrade that PC to the latest and greatest. You are still going to get less frames than you probably currently do, but ay, I guess you're on 4k then right? Edit: I see you've kinda done this. Still not good enough for 144hz +.

b. The discernible difference between 2k and 4k in video games on a ~27" panel is small. The cost involved in obtaining that indiscernible difference is immense, your money your loss though.

I wasn't planning on downgrading with a lower refresh rate. As per original post, I was looking for info on a 4k, 144hz screen. I didn't realise they do not exist in 32" screens.

So options really will be 27" 4K, 144hz+, or

32", WQHD, 144hz. Which is what I have, so will stick with that then, because I honestly enjoy the bigger screen.

Thanks guys

Since you have the GPU to drive 4k 120hz, if you have the space then have you considered a LG CX OLED tv?

No no no, you're not doing CUD right at all. You need to get the 43" 4K 144hz from Asus. $ 2 000 is a small price to pay to appease the CUD gods

[emoji23], I have in fact. But 55 inch just too big! I have a 4K 65" OLED, use the pc on that every now and again. But only 60hz[emoji17]

Not necessarily the panel itself, but your in game refresh rate will be lower. Tough beefy strong AAA titles will smash your PC, then you will need to lower the settings to maintain 144hz. And as soon as you open that options menu, you will wonder and ask yourself if it was all worth it.

It seems only the 43" Asus ticks all your boxes?
