I need help, what's the best 1440p, 144hz(or better) monitor for competitive gaming? COD, APEX, Battlefield and Fifa.
I had my eyes on a LG 32GP850-B 32” Ultragear QHD but some dude told me It's just average.
Also, is 32'' too big? Would I be better suited with a 27''?

Pick what works best for you. People get really elitist really quickly when you start talking QHD vs UHD, and it gets worse when you toss in 8k options into the mix. Whatever. LG's GP850 series does 165Hz over DisplayPort(1.4), it's HDMI spec is only 2.0 currently so that's limited to 144Hz. I think one of their later series(950 maybe?) was supposed to have the latest HDMI 2.1 standard but I haven't followed up on it. Both 27" and 32" models can be overclocked to 180Hz.




Size will depend on your work/gaming space. Best viewing distance for 32" is 4.5-5 ft. Important: lots of variation between minimum, visual acuity, ideal and max viewing distances. I'd aim for ideal distance to strike a balance and minimize eye strain over time.

Best to go 27’ at 1440p.

Finally got my 5900x installed and new MOBO. CPU made a drastic difference in the performance of games, Cyberpunk runs very stable with settings completely maxed out including ray tracing with DLSS set on quality, even in the heavy city areas.

You brehs been following the gigabyte exploding PSU fiasco? Looks like they're finally doing a sort of recall. I just got notice that I can either get it replaced or do a full refund. Any non exploding recommendations for modular 750W?

Bruh I have a Red Devil 6800xt chillin for my spare PC and haven’t even installed it yet. I’m just hesitant as fukk when it comes to AMD. Lol.

I had like a carryover with smaller wattage when I copped the 3070 bundle so I tossed it in. It’s coming up on a year and no problems but since they’re doing full refund I’m going to take advantage.
