Let me preface by saying I know next to nothing about technology of this day and age. I've been gaming on a 24.5" EX2510S at 165hz for around 8 years now but it's time for me to upgrade! I've done a very small amount of research but not before my head starting to hurt lol. I think I already know I'll get recommendations including "OLED" and with that in mind I want to say I typically game for 8-10 hours a day. I also stumbled across a scary phenomenon known as "burn in". Now from what I've seen that's not been an issue for me thus far but with this new advanced technology it might be a different story, remember I said 8-10 hours a day of using my PC. So with that being said, do any of you have a suitable monitor in mind? Budget is up to £900. Thank you for reading!

Edit: I'm guessing Spyder will show up soon and yes, I'm still aware of the monitor you recommended to me in my other thread! I'm just looking for other alternatives aswell

Again, you haven't configured a 1440p system.

The GPU would be hugely bottlenecked by a 1440p monitor so it's not something we would recommend, it's a massive waste.

We've said this numerous times but each time we recommend something you revert to something incompatible.

I don't mean to "revert to something incompatible". I'm not adamant on anything I've said thus far that's why I'm here looking for help...

So you're telling me to either lower the specs, or purchase something higher than 1440p?

This will be the 4th time we've explained the same thing, each time it's not heard and we end back at square one.

For that GPU, you need ultra wide at the very minimum, preferably superwide or 4k. But as you go up resolution, so does the money required for a decent monitor. For that level of GPU, you need around £750 for an entry level monitor.

This is exactly what we've said numerous times now.

Also, I'm not saying you are wrong or that it's optimal by any means, but I know someone who has the same specs and uses a 1440p monitor and they are perfectly happy with it, bottleneck or not. But by bottleneck, is it really such a bad thing? My understanding of the word is that you'd only be benefitting from a certain % of power from the card, sounds like a waste of money of course but if your games run great and you're happy with the resolution what's the problem? (Besides the waste of money of course but some people aren't bothered by that either)

It's a waste of a good card that will never be used to its potential, someone who would actually use it would benefit far greater. You'd have EXACTLY the same experience with a card that fits the monitor.

Your friend I'm sure is loving their system, and maybe they have money to burn in that way, but no one in good conscience would ever recommend anyone to just throw money down the drain.

A PC is a system from input to output. To have the best system, it needs to balance all the way through the chain.

If you're throwing money away on the GPU, but causing a limitation on getting a decent monitor to fit that gpu, that makes zero sense.

Because I want you to have the best performance for your money, and I understand PC design better than your friend, I KNOW that putting more money into the monitor and getting a suitable GPU makes far more sense for a greater experience overall.

But it's your money. If you really want to limit yourself to 1440p when you have the budget for far more, do that, but lower the GPU to match it.

But work out what it is you want. At the moment you're flipping between some kind of block that 1440p is the only resolution and a 4k system behind it.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound naive or obstinate. I genuinely want to learn. I'm just scared, I know for a fact that if I buy the best I won't be let down... atleast I'd like to think I do. Whereas if I went anything below the best there could still be the regret of "why didn't I buy better" I hope that makes sense to you because it's happened two times now with previous PCs I bought. It's not me ignoring or disregarding what I am told I'm just trying to make sure I don't repeat the same mistakes.

But the bottom line is: I want to upgrade, period! I'd like to be able to play AAA games on a resolution that isn't 1080p and I'd like to be able to play them at stable and high FPS (165 minimum preferably). That's my priority first and foremost. I'm willing to try new things and going from 1080p to 4k is a huge step for me... Are you certain that PC could handle games at 4k without performance issues? I'm obviously harboring alot of doubts but I do have the budget for it.

Again, we've already been over all this.

I wouldn't recommend 4k, we've already suggested 3 systems, nothings changed, the advice remains the same.
