Hi buddy, I am planning to upgrade my am4 gaming pc to the new generation. Atm I am using a asus hero 8 non WiFi with 5900x. I'll be probably replacing 3 parts. Mobo,cpu and ram. Which is better Amd or Intel. Wanna go for amd but reluctant to buy it coz of the temp. Intel cpu is ok I guess. Would love to hear your advise on this ty.

Also a quick note, for people who like first person shooters I’d stay away from va panels since they tend to smear more than ips panels. They’re great for color contrast but when you need to do fast flick motions in esports titles they’re not ideal. Ips is the way to go for fps gamers in my opinion. Va panels on the high end the smearing issues are often mitigated pretty well.

As someone that just purchased a new BenQ EX2710Q monitor in the last few months. I'm highly impressed. I have had Asus, Samsung, and an LG monitor before and IMO, this one is the best that i have had. I was actually debating between the LG 850 that you mention in the video and the BenQ but when I was researching both of them, Most reviewers recommended going with the benq over the LG and they were only about 10$ difference at that time. Best monitor I have seen visually for 1440p. I don't think it should be in the budget category for 1440p.

Very comprehensive, beautifully done guide. Recently bought 2x (HUGE) 32" 1440p 165hz MSI AG321CQR for black Friday for only $250 each. Despite the lack of USB-A ports to run my LED strips and monitor bar I'm happy with them. Coming from my 27" 1080p 144hz MSI MAG271C (little fuzzy at that resolution and size). For anyone reading this, 32" may have been a little big, especially 2 lol. I do feel a 27" 1440p monitor is the sweet spot for what my opinion is worth.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you for sharing!

[@conroypaw]

32" isn't really huge. Then again, I went from 23" to 32" years ago. I got my current monitor in early 2021. 32", 1440p, 165 Hz, IPS panel by Samsung, branded by Monoprice. I paid $320 at the time. It's going for $250 on their website now. I wished I could've found something with a more recognizable name brand, like MSI, and a better monitor stand, but the monitor itself is serving me well enough. The aftermarket stand I got off of Amazon is better, but not by much. I would love to see what two 32" monitors would look like on my desk, but I'm afraid that my desk just doesn't have that kind of real estate available. (I doubt two 27" monitors would fit.) I'm willing to bet that it is pretty awesome.

[@AwesomesMan]

2 32” isn’t crazy but those two are curved which is strange to me

[@basicuser54]

I have the same monitor but curved and like the size and the curve. If you’re saying that 4K would be better for a 32”, I agree and if I had to go back I’d get the 4K version even with my 3070ti because at least older games I can still run 4K and when I upgrade GPU later I wouldn’t really need a new monitor whereas I will want to upgrade this one later.

[@nauscakes1868]

I learned recently that I NEED a curved display. A few weeks ago I was in the market to replace my monitor. I wanted to upgrade to something to take more advantage of the 4080 I bought. I had been using a medicore ultrawide 3440x1440 and a decent MSI gaming monitor 1440/165 (Optix MAG274QRF-QD) as my secondary. I told my friend I was in the market to buy a new monitor, and he offered to buy my old ultrawide for 400 (I paid 500 for it), so I sold it before I could figure out what main monitor I wanted. Which means I got to rock my Optix MAG274QRF-QD for about two weeks as my primary display while I was shopping around. I learned a few things being forced to switch monitors for two weeks. All personal things, but here's what I experienced. I learned that I didn't need ultrawide, and in a lot of situations, I enjoyed the standard display size. It was nice not having my UI skewed radically to the edges of my screen in most games. I learned that 165 FPS is awesome, and having the 4080 push it made me for sure want my new monitor to handle it. I learned that I NEED a curved monitor, as the MSI wasn't curved, and even though it was only a 27" panel, I often found myself frustrated as I moved my head around and the edges just felt wrong. It's like when you put on your shoes weird or sit down funny, and you get that obviously "wrong feeling," but it's hard to describe. On top of that. I'd hit the viewing angle funny every so often and I could see drastic and noticeable color shifts from the VA panel. I had narrowed my choices down to two monitors, the Samsung Neo G7 4k monitor, and the Alienware DWF ultrawide OLED one. My biggest concern at first was that I really wasn't sure I wanted to go back to ultrawide, as I had gotten quite used to the standard size of the 27" panel very easily, and I was quite comfortable with it. But thinking about how much I fucking hate VA panels and those viewing angles drive me nuts. Though the Neo G7 supposedly has a nice curve to it. It wasn't until I talked to some more folks discussing the customer service between Samsung and Dell that really cemented my decision. Apparently Samsung is a pita to get through, but Dell seems to leave lots of happy customer's in its wake. Now I'm older, and I have more disposable income. I'd pay more money for warranties and peace of mind. I don't want drama. I want solved problems. I got enough other things to worry about. All of this is to say that I decided to go with the Alienware DWF OLED. They have great customer service, and a 3 year warranty on the OLED burn-in. I'm very, very pleased with the quality of an OLED display, the viewing angles make me happy beyond joy. All the colors are great. There's no fade. The curve is wonderful. I do wish it were standard size though. Maybe one day. ---------- The reason I like the viewing angles is because I'm a skinny fidgety person. So I'm always rocking my chair around and leaning and swaying in different direction. I'm not a static statue that can keep the same position for hours on end. Sometimes when I read my screen I'm laying against the armrest of my chair and my head is on the far left or right side of the monitor viewing it from an angle. Now I can see the whole screen, perfect colors every time. I will never not use an Oled again for my primary display. As for reading text or color fringing? I don't know. I just typed a fuck ton of paragraphs here, and used my OLED. It seemed fine. I didn't notice a difference or issues. I've been reading reddit and facebook just fine on it for a few weeks too. I never noticed any issues. There are really no downsides except for the "potential" burn in, and even if I ONLY got 3 years out of it for a 1,100 bucks, I'll consider it fine. I replace my phone once a year. I'm sure I can find money to replace a monitor every 3 years.

Thank you for your hard work and thorough research on these Monitors. I have a question on the current and soon to be released Monitors. I'm debating on either LG 45'' UltraGear™ OLED Curved Gaming Monitor WQHD with 240Hz and Corsair Xeneon Flex. I was interested on the Acer Predator x45 (since I have the Acer Predator x34 now) but I'm steering away from Acer because it is supporting AMD not G-Sync. What do you think will be the best to purchase between LG UltraGear or Corsair even though they are both from LG? Thanks

The top 2 GPUs used by gamers on Steam are RTX 3060 at 5.04% & the GTX 1650 at 4.75%. 61.49% of Steam Users game at 1080p while only 16.24% at 2560 x 1440 & when you go over 1440 the numbers are extremely low in single digits.

Once again, your advice proved useful Jason! I just picked up the Gigabyte M32U and WOW, what a fantastic monitor. Gaming in 4K with 144Hz and the color this thing has is just awesome! My games look fantastic and my 6800XT has that great FreeSync option with it if needed, and so far the games that I play look fantastic. The built-in KVM is great for me since I also have a secondary older PC that I'm turning into a retro gaming box. I only have a PS4 for console gaming now, but when I'm ready for that PS5 upgrade, I know that this monitor with its HDMI 2.1 will deliver that 120Hz framerate with no issues. Keep up the great work, you've helped me build my PC and now you've helped me find the gaming monitor to go with it, you rock Jason! ❤👍

On the european market there is also a japanese brand - iiyama, which has a great value for money. They used to produce only office monitors, but recently they started to make really good gaming monitors too - red eagle series. For example iiyama red eagle gb2770qsu is basically a LG 27GP850-B with better contrast (around 1200:1), better brightness (around 500cd/m2) and costs around 40 euro less. It's a pity, that this brand isn't widely available on the US market and it's not that popular. It could be a great competitor for other brands.

Thank you for the excellent content, Jason! I'm about 20 years removed from the industry and your videos have provided a wealth of information in getting caught back up with current tech. I recently acquired an RX 6950XT for an upcoming gaming PC build. Would you recommend putting my money towards a 4k display (been eyeballing the Gigabyte M32U) or perhaps a higher end 1440P display (such as the Samsung Odyssey G7 or the Gigabyte M27Q-X)? I've never used a curved monitor BTW so there is that but willing to keep my mind open to whatever may best suite my current GPU and possibly whatever eventually replaces it. Thanks again!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Hello! So glad we could help! I know what its like to come back to tech after a break. With that card you can definitely go either way, it will come down to the experience you want. If awesome visuals are the priority I'd go 4k, but if you play games that prioritize high FPS going for a 240hz 1440p monitor is also great.

[@Socratezism]

Any advise/comments appreciated.... Asus TUF Gaming VG32AQA1A? cant find any review... Thinking of getting this for my bedroom and using it with my older 1070 pc+switch. Mainly for movie/serie-viewing, some gaming. The hdr seems usable at least, just an added option. I like options. I really need a va panel for me atm for now. Need those blacks/contrast and cant stand ipsglow.. cant go back to ips after using a va/oled(c1) for years. Think flat will be best because viewing distance will be about 180cm/70 inches away, lying in bed. Advise? Should i just get it? around 350euro seems like great value. Gigabyte G32QC seems like another option, but curved, so not sure..and the asus is a lot newer.

[@tylerelyt]

Asus is generally a safe bet when buying a monitor. I couldn't really find any reviews for the VG32AQA1A monitor either, but it's probably because it's fairly new. Personally I'd stay away from VA for gaming (motion blur, artifacts, etc.), but you mentioned you've used a VA panel in the past and prefer it over IPS, so you probably know what to expect anyways. It looks like a decent monitor, especially for that price. The Gigabyte monitor looks pretty good too, and RTings gave it a decent rating. But if you're sitting that far away from your monitor, you may have issues with the curve affecting the viewing angles of the VA panel. I've never had a curved VA monitor before though so I can't really speak from experience on that particular issue. I'd recommend looking at RTings first though before you make a purchase just to get a better idea of what's out there. You may end up going with the monitors you mentioned, or you may find something you like even more.

[@Socratezism]

@@tylerelyt ty nice response. ill wait for more info on the asus VG32AQA1A. If i wont get any, i may just go buy it or i will get a LG 32GN600-B (same as 650, but cheaper stand). It seems these are my only options for my user case.

In regards to the 4K/144hz monitors I believe the top 2 are the Samsung 28” G70A and the BenQ EX2710u.

[@andrewquiroz4335]

I would steer clear of the Samsung Odyssey G7 32in 240 hz. I’ve had it for almost a year and it has had a flicker on the left side of the panel. Apparently quality control with these monitors are pretty bad. I got it for a good price at $420 so I just stuck with it

[@nobody1322]

i just got the lg 27 gn950 panel and I hate it, (going to return it) im coming from a TN panel so do you have any ideas what good 1400p or 4k tn panels at 27 inches are out there? Sadly the lg panel is just tooooo contrasty >

[@eldad12345]

thank you for great review , please i need help to pick a monitor . im playing diablo 4 , cod , lol . i not sure who should i pick : asus tuf VG27AQA1A or VG27AQ1A , from what is see - one is ips and one is va panel . what should i chose ?

[@NeXusZT]

Just picked up an lg c2 and I've got to say. This is without a doubt the best monitor I've ever owned. And this is coming from a 32" G7. Highly recommend if you want that immersion.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Nice!! We have the C1 and love it!

[@nuggettscout5715]

thanks man, you helped me pick out ram and understand it better, im not technical but you made it easy to understand and didnt feel like you were selling out.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Love to hear that, glad we were able to help! Much appreciated :)

[@justaviewer111]

What if I want a 24 inch 1440p monitor? Everyone seems focused on the larger ones but coming from a 20 inch NEC monitor I'm still happy with, 24 is more than enough, especially as close as I'll be sitting. There don't seem to be a lot of choices in the 24 inch range.

[@BrianJohnson-ny9zd]

I got the ViewSonic and love it. I got the Tuff first and the View sonic looks better. Thank you.

[@bussenny123]

Would using a Monitor that comes with AMD Free-sync work just fine with Nvidia GPU? afterall where I live there is only AMD Free-sync mostly.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Yes we specifically go over that. Most monitors are AMD Freesync. Just make sure to use the Displayport cable (or HDMI 2.1 if your monitor has that).

[@Psychopomp_]

I purchased the 1440p Dell monitor on Boxing Day because of your recommendation. Had to go with the 32" as the 27" wasn't carried at my local stores. It's a great monitor and I'm very happy. Thanks, Jason!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad we could help!!

[@EagleScope]

how are we putting the egg curve samsung over the AW2721D or XG27AQM?

[@mrjamezjc9845]

My AOC24G2 is still recommended months and months after buying it, so happy with the purchase

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Nice! Thanks for sharing

[@Dan-hx4lc]

The 4K GIGABYTE M28U 28" recommended dropped another $70 to $529.99 on both Amazon & Newegg. Solid deal!

[@stonersparky]

Just ordered the G7 for $500 father's day sale from best buy's website (also believe amazon has a sale too). Can't wait to test my new PC I ordered with it (RTX 4070). Currently using the M28u on my PS5 which looks and performs great. Super excited to join the master race!

[@TP014563]

I wish others would put the explanation for different types so straight to point. Please keep doing these revision quarterly if possible. Thanks a lot

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad it was helpful! We have plans to do updates throughout the year, and we do update the recommended links in the description daily for best current deals and in stock.

[@BrianJohnson-ny9zd]

Great video. Thank you. Anyone know why the view sonic semmed better the the tuff? and also is 24 inch better then 27 inch for 1080p?

[@gkbrkizm]

I just opened your channel for 2022 monitor guide, i found this. TY Sir!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Perfect timing!

[@ayushgaurincredible]

Finally came at 19:38 the Acer predator HDMI 2.1, what took so long brother

[@nicklombardi4160]

What are your thoughts on the LG 27GP95-B for the Xbox Series X? Or should I just go with the Acer Predator XB283K? I was reading the reviews on Amazon for the Acer Predator and a few people mentioned to get a TN monitor in lieu of the Acer Predator due to ghosting issues but maybe those were older models..no idea what a TN monitor is?? 😵‍💫🤯

[@aidenh4681]

thank you man, you deserve all the love you get

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks so much! Appreciate that

This video is the most complete explanation in any subject in any platform, in the whole history of the internet, so good!!!!!!!!!!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you so much!! Really glad it’s helpful

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed (:

[@nungchuka]

so outside of reading amazon specs do you own any of these monitors?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Personally in our collection we use the 4k G7 (recommended last year but priced out this year by better options), the C1, and the Acer Nitro 4k

[@mbvx7]

I have LG 4k 32GQ950 144hz. But to get that with 10 bit or 12 bit color I have to use DP 1.4a with DSC. or I can use HDMI 2.1 and Not use DSC. which is better? compression of any kind is 'bad', right?

[@marctendo]

Do you think ill be good using the m28u with a rtx 4080? The monitor doesnt have gsync which since im new to pcs idk how important it is so im aksing you! I mean you have reccomended the monitor in this video and you dindt say its nad for nvdia 4000 gpus so i assume its not but you can tell me the opposite!

[@MarkWariner]

Love the review. For me I went with 2 Samsung G9's and then had to get a heavy duty stand in order for them to be on top of one another. I get 240 on bottom, and 144 on top. It works awesome and most of my games get 65-80 fps. A few might have hit 45-55 but I just turn off the top monitor and boom, back to high FPS. In my setup, I use the 2 monitors on one pc for work, graphic designs, then of course gaming. The top monitor I use it as a second to my home server, my laptop or my iPad pro at times. And the HDMI is on a matrix so anything on the HDMI will go to that top monitor and to my 65 led tv in the office. Both monitor DP connection go to my main PC. Man, this works for me. It all depends on what you need and want.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

wow that sounds amazing!! Im jealous (;

[@MarkWariner]

@@PCBuilderChannel LOL. Well, its pretty. cool setup for sure. I was not expecting to spend $480 on a stan tho. I had a 6 monitor setup before and thought it would work. These monitors are heavy. Made sense to get one that would work and made for them. Best setup I have ever had. It's different though being on a curved with all the space. The good is to use powertoys and lock your windows in spaces. Really helps. BUT like all 6 I had, I still lose the mouse from time to time. LOL

[@slingadingding1639]

i bought Gigabyte M27Q to my Xbox series X. Images look nice but theres is noticeable input lag, which makes it not good for competitive FPS. Anyone else have same issue or possible fix?

[@DjZynox]

What you think with MSI MPG Artymis 343CQR 34? or Huawei MateView GT 40?

[@goIden8]

Hey Jason I wanted to ask if I should get the hp x27q for £280 or the msi g273QF for £350? The msi one seems to have better specs but is it worth the money? Thanks and hello to the cute cat

[@malec8517]

Great video, need things like this refreshed once or a few times a year. Happy when someone can make the video perfectly too!

got the odyssey g7 for 412 eur yesterday. good deal or not? it doesnt have any flickering issues or bad backlight bleed

[@andreallen3146]

Hi Jason I took your advice on getting the RX 6700 Xt for my pc that had a PRIME B450M-A II with Ryzen 5 5600G I want to get a 32" Monitor for gaming for games like GTA and Cyberpunk 2077 I know Cyberpunk can be demanding so to game at 1080p to 1440p at time type of resolution should I get just debating if I should just get monitor for 1080p it is for my son he is 16 and wants to change from Concole ps5 and try PC gaming

[@Mechanomly]

Really appreciate your videos as someone who started learning about how it all works just this week - very informative and helpful as I'm planning my setup. I will say I think you should put this video in the How To Build A PC Series playlist and replace the 2022 one lol, so potentially more viewers can find and rely on the more up-to-date info here

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you and thank you for the feedback!

[@wathah323]

I am only into platformers not shooters, would more than 60hz monitor be worth it?

[@keepinitbreezy8426]

Thanks for the video. Lots to digest but this was helpful 🎉

[@wanshurst2416]

I bought the Samsung Odyssey with 1440p & 240 Hz. I choose this thing because it was the only 240 Hz display with HDR600. Man that thing has SUCH a beautiful HDR picture if you set it up correctly. I was totally blown away when watched the first HDR video on youtube. First game to play with HDR was The Callisto Protocol. And let me tell you. HDR is a real gamechanger. The difference in picture quality is day n night difference. got it for 410 € :)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Absolutely! Once you've experience real HDR its hard to go back

[@wanshurst2416]

@@PCBuilderChannel yes, if i had to choose between 4K and HDR i would always go for HDR because the impact on the picturequality is just insane.

[@gn638]

What calibration did you use for your setup?

[@wanshurst2416]

@@gn638 you need the programm "custom resolution utility" on the bottom there is something called "CTA-861". klick on it and then "edit". in this window go to "colorimetry" -> "edit" -> check every box. save. go back and two points below colorimetry is "HDR static metadata". check box 1,3,5 and set max. lumiance to 115. save everything. click on "restart64.exe" in the same folder. then go to the windows HDR settings and set the HDR/SDR slider to 60 % monitorsettings: brightness 100, contrast 67, sharpness 56

I gotta question if you don’t mind so do you still recommend the hp x27q 2021 model as I am not a picky person I just want to start streaming soon and I’m stuck on monitors I won’t be playing csgo or no high competitive games like that just like GTA RP and call of duty and just chill with my stream do you think the hp will be good for that ?

[@0Metatron]

The Samsung G7 was a great buy, bought it 1.5 yrs ago and it’s still a banger!!

[@Jon_Jrazy]

I’m a console gamer and I just recently got the acer nitro V2 monitor and it’s great!! I get 4k 120hz smoothly playing almost any game. The hdmi 2.1 really makes a difference is smoothness and quality!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@JustinGamez007]

I always wonder why you never use AOC 1440p gaming monitors ? I am building a 7900xt pc and want to try and get a monitor as my current is just 4k , 60fps

[@JustinGamez007]

Wait nvm, I looked back at the price of the monitor I was talking about, when I looked last year, the same model was £215 but when I looked now its close to £400

[@jooyichen]

Hello sir, just want to ask. Can I use my 1080p monitor to play triple-A games at dlss performance? Or would the upscale still be considered as native res and the monitor would not show the image on the screen? Thanks.

[@florisbackx1744]

3:30 I'm not so sure about that.... Most console titles struggle to get close to 60FPS on 4K, let alone 120 FPS
