Monitor choices for trip 32's

Wagz · Feb 17, 2021

Ok, with everyones help and input I've decided on trip 32 1440's for my build. Now have to get monitors.
Curved or flat?
There's a ton of options out there. I gather I'm looking for 144hz and 1ms response.
Any recommendations?
I'm really looking to get the most resonable priced one that will perform well enough and not be junk. There's several in the $350-380 range.

I've known a few people that went from curved 32s to flat, I've never thought to ask why.

Personally I would get flat, but they seem to be really hard to find for some reason.

There are some flat ones, not as many.

I have curved and honestly, the curve is so small you wont really notice the difference, go with either option. And tbh, 1ms and 144hz is the most important, whatever differences from there are minor. The more expensive ones have better panels with better colors but that about it.
When I went monitor hunting, I had 1ms, 144hz and small bezels as primary needs. Dont ignore the bezel thing.

Source please? I haven't seen much new panels around, except for some LG oled stuff and some panels/monitors that are WAY too expensive (and always have some flaw somewhere). We are currently in year 4 or 5 in which HDR is sold as a great function, but backlights haven't been able to cope so it still sucks. No progress in contrast ratio's either, I'm about to go triple 21:9 and even the new nano-ips panels got a mere 1000:1 ratio. New technologies in panels still can't run everything we desire and that bothers me quite a lot. Panel market is currently run by 5 or 6 companies and I would like to see more competition in that martket.

I've read that response time isn't nearly as critical in racing as in shooters because twitch like reaction time is not required. Surely 1ms is overkill?

Here is a good place to keep an eye on things.
