Hi,
So I originally asked this question with a bigger budget last year however something came up which meant I could no longer afford it plus parts change so thought I’d ask again as I am now ready as honestly I have no idea where to start.

The Monitor I’m currently using is a 4K 60fps screen LG 27UD69P but I need to get a new one for the series X at some point. The monitor I hope to get will be the LG 27GP950 I think it’s name is?

I use 2 screens, the monitor listed above plus a tv. In the past I have also streamed and I sometimes play 2 games at once. So it must be good at multi tasking as well as graphical pleasing. The Pc doesn’t need to do gaming in 4K as that monitor is really for when I had the Xbox one X.


Budget is just under or just over £2000 and it needs good wifi.

If I’ve missed something else then please ask.

Oh and I do like RGB lightning.


Thanks

I'm confused! You say that you don't plan to game in 4K, but you have described two 4K displays, one 60Hz and the other 160Hz. Are they the displays you plan on using when gaming with this computer?

£2000 is quite tight for a 4K high-refresh-rate-capable PC today. It's just about manageable, but with some compromises... £2300 is where I'd prefer to be looking, if I were in your shoes...

I'm hoping that you're not getting the LG 27GP950 just only for the Xbox Series X as that would be some what of a waste,
The Series X will run 4K at 120hz with it, but the games at 4K are locked to 60fps by the game developers, so you'll only see 60fps with all AAA titles,
However, some Indie titles will run at 4K at 120fps like "Ori and the Will of the Wisp",
But if you're not going to run this monitor at 4K, again there would be no point in getting it,

You're not going to get full use out of that monitor unless you're getting a PC build that can do 4K high refresh rate,

I have the LG 27GP950 monitor and I'm running a 4K high refresh rate gaming PC build as well as the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 on it,

You've put yourself in a tough spot with this, You'll need to up your budget to make use of that monitor for the PC build or you could be
looking at a 1440p 144hz build / monitor instead,

If you can up your budget and are wanting the LG 27GP950, I would order it asap as it's a high demand monitor and sell's out as soon as it's in stock,
There's only 2 stores that sell this monitor...

LG 27GP950 at Curry's
or
LG 27GP950 at Overclocker's
