What’s the significance of G-Sysnc or freesync?
in the market for a monitor as I want a racing gaming rig (far less complicated than the one below)…just with a wheel, pedals and monitor tho

to get the most out of it, you're gonna want a 4K monitor with HDMI 2.1 and HDR. but a monitor with all these features is gonna be expensive ($700-1000+)
GSYNC and FreeSync are variable refresh rate (VRR) tech for PC's, so you won't need those for your console. the PS5 uses HDMI 2.1 for VRR, but Sony still hasn't released an update to support this (it's supposed to be coming). you also don't want any kind of 'ultrawide' monitor, since the consoles won't support that either. might want to avoid a 1440p monitor, since the PS5 doesn't support that, and will most likely only give you a 1080p image (although I guess some monitors can trick the PS5 into outputting a 4K image, and downsample it to 1440p. do your research if you go this route)
like I said, a monitor that really uses all the PS5's features is gonna be expensive. to the point where you might be better off just getting an OLED TV. but if you're willing to sacrifice some features, you can go with a cheaper monitor. IMO the first feature to cut would be HDMI 2.1, since the PS5 doesn't support that yet, and most games probably won't use it when support does come. next would be HDR, and then resolution. you definitely want something with low input lag (1ms). even though I said the consoles don't support FreeSync, you will find it's a feature on many monitors, and you'll still be able to use any monitor that has that
best cheaper option IMO would be something 4K and 60hz from a good brand (Asus, AOC, Dell, etc)
actually that curve is a bit much. i dont know if i want to go less than 1800R
I have a Lenovo Legion Y27Q-20 as my primary/gaming monitor and I would highly recommend it
Peruvian Connect
All Star

it’s not gonna look exactly like that but the rig I have in mind is $1600
EVOLVE GP
experiencing forza 5 for the campaign alone using this and the G920 kit I have in mind will make it worth it imo plus not to mention the replay value…after reading @daze23’s post tho I will probably just go with a small television instead of a monitor since it’ll be much cheaper

ordered the thrustmaster TS-XW…kinda steep but fukk it…can always return it if I don’t like it…not gonna buy a whole rig as yet til I test out the wheel to see if it really “enhances” the experience
