I'm considering my next monitor for a new rig, but I can't quite decide whether to go with a disgustingly large 4K VA panel or a superwide with lower resolution. Superwide is nice for immersion but without HZ, I'd be wasting a bit of power on lower res. Since superwide screens often collide with other content and videos, I might go 16:9 again (currently have a 32" 1440p monitor).
What monitors are you looking at for 4K120?

I'm trying to not think about monitors at all. There currently are none that would be acceptable for me, so I'll just hope to god my TV will work out somehow.
I won't compromise on it and rather continue to use my trash 1440p display and wait until someone actually makes a good monitor.

Yeah, it's hard to find something where there isn't a huge trade-off one way or the other. Still, I want a proper display if I'm building a monster rig, my TV is decent enough for console gaming, I have the Sony KD65S8505CBAEP.
Been looking at Predator monitor, and some others, but the prices are insane (1000-1500$) if I want it to tick all the boxes.

This seems like good monitor, kinda expensive but good. The curve is just too much. Also what you guys think of 32 inch screen size with 1440. It becomes same kind of ppi as 1080p with 23 inch screen. Also will be super big for my table and eyes.

There is this Dell with less curve. Worse HDR, not even sure if that should be a considerion in monitors at this point in time.
LG Ips that is recommended a lot too. 27GL850.

Been gaming on a 32" 1440p monitor for over 5 years now, a Samsung S32D850D. Really happy with it, it has decent colors and contrast and the size is good for my position. However, my new rig will be overkill on 1440p in all likelihood, if I want a panel for 200hz+, that's gonna cost me too much compared to what I'm still getting at that res.
As for the listed screens, I have no experience with Dell monitors at all so can't really say but it looks good specs-wise. Samsung have a somewhat disappointing history with curved desktop monitors from what I've heard, some tearing issues among other things, as well as poor viewing angles for color saturation (which isn't much of an issue for most though, since you're always positioned right in front of it). LG makes good monitors overall from what I hear, but never actually owned one.
32" is a decent size, 27" is just a bit too small for my tastes, especially in games which benefit from more immersion (1st person games for instance, or racing games while using cockpit view).
