I Need Help Selecting 1440p monitor from these choices
-
So I just preordered my PS4 pro and I have an extra £350 to spend. The problem is I can't decide which monitor to get. Do I get the 4K but if I do then I its will cost me total £350 with no money to spare for buying the games but if I go for 1080p than I will have some for a couple or three games. Also I have never bought a monitor in my life and don't know which one has the best quality. I am mainly an RPG gamer and love Action games too. I do enjoy occasional FPS. If some of the allies can help me make a decision whether 4k is the way to go or should I wait.
Please guys I need you opinion on which monitor to get. All I know is I want to go either with 24 inch or 27 inch ( but will 27 inch be bad for 1080p display).

Personally, I would go 4K to take full advantage of your new PS4 Pro. Although a couple of games may seem enticing now, it may be a while before you have that amount of money on hand. You'll also know that you're experiencing games at their best, and won't have that nagging feeling that you're playing on an inferior monitor. Also, does it support HDR? I hear that HDR is pretty significant.
-
^ There are no HDR monitors out there and thats makes things worse because if I buy the 4k monitor now without then I would have to buy another 4k monitor with hdr.
-
@MSBi Oh wow... In that case, I really don't know. Anyone want to weigh in on how significant HDR is? You may want to go cheaper and just wait for that option. I see your dilemma.

Go for a 1080p display with HDR. The problem with 4K right now is that the vast majority have pretty shit response times. So like controller inputs will happen with a slight delay, which I personally cannot stand.
IMO HDR is a bigger deal than 4k. True white to black? Hnnng.
Also, PS4 Pro won't be true 4K, so there is also that.

Hey you know what I have found a monitor with 10 bit hdr its this one:
I am so relieved!
-
I only have one question will games look ugly on 4k monitor if you are running them in 1080p?
-
You need to find a 1440p monitor at minum does 120hz. Thats the sweet spot for PS4 pro

Try and find one of these near you (this specific one is local pickup only):

I would personally go for a 1080p TV. I know that might sound weird, but I think that 4k are still "too new" and its too early to invest in one now when in a years time they will be much better and cheaper. They also say that in order to enjoy 4k you should sit between 4-6ft away from the screen. Also what good are a 4k tv if you got no games? ;D - But its up to you really!
-
For £350, you won't find much better than this:
-
I haven't bought a monitor in a very long time so I'm pretty uninformed
I do know to take a very close look at the input lag if you get a tv (I don't think that this is as big deal with monitors). Also, people say that HDR is a bigger deal than 4k, but its still in its infancy and introduces some input lag.
I would personally get a 1080p now, save some money, and get a good 4kHDR set when the price comes down in a few years....but that LG you found looks pretty good.

Thanks very much allies for your opinion. I just went with 4k because i just dont see the point in not getting one for pro which is prinarily built for this technology. I am still unsure whether the monitor will make 1080p games look blurry on 4k tv
-
I have a 21:9 60hz 1080p monitor that I LOVE. A similar 4k monitor would cost as 3x as much as this one did. So, I'll be waiting for a bit. Like, a couple years at least, when the price comes down and the tech of the things attached to it catch up completely. Note: I am a PC gamer and playing at 4k right now makes no sense.
-
Hey guys. I did a little bit of research and found that there is some blurriness when playing 1080p. I have retracted my purchase as it is very pricey so I am back to square one plus I am unsure how quickly we will be seeing 4k games on ps4 pro to warrant a 4k purchase.
So I am thinking of going with 1440p but I don't know what size or model to get.

If you guys have any other suggestions then please mention it.
