If you’re ok with 60fps. Many of the 32 inch pro monitors out there are good. The new asus pro 32 is being called an XDR killer.

Highly recommend the msi mpg 274urdfw e16m since you are going to be working on it.

I just upgraded to 4k 27" because of the increased PPI. There are benefits in running a very high res on a smaller screen. Games look super sharp despite heavy upscaling.

For work it's less ideal because you need to set desktop scaling at 125% or 150% otherwise the text becomes too small to read. But if you do that, you can't fit more stuff on screen than a 1440p monitor.

I wouldn't get oled for work but that's just me. MSI e16m . Mini led but 27".

Got it love it, ignore open window glare. HDR is like looking into the sun on games that have it

Well, if you can afford it the Asus ProArt PA32UCG-K is hard to beat. It's a hardware calibrated QD-IPS, which is preferable for video editing since it's the display itself that needs to be calibrated. ∆E is under 1, 99.5% AdobeRGB, 98% DCI P3, 85% rec2020. Also supports Dolby Vision and has 120hz VRR. Too much for my wallet so I have the much cheaper PA32UCR-K QD-IPS, but it's only 60hz.

If you want good stable color accuracy, then I recommend an IPS. OLED is excellent for gaming, but it's accuracy drifts the quickest out of all the panel types. But, if you did want OLED, they make the PA32UCDM which is also hardware calibrated and has most of the same features as the other QD-OLED gaming monitors, but lacks a display port.

Samsung makes some of the best panels. I’d go with them over the rest IMO.

Check out monitors unboxed on YouTube.

One variable is the hdmi / display port versions. As an example DP 1.4a doesn’t have enough band width to run 4k240 hdr. It uses DSC or display stream compression which needs to be supported on your GPU. Look at what port versions your GPU has and if it supports DSC then look up reviews of these monitors. Most manufacturers are terrible at listing the exact versions of ports the monitors have or if the display supports DSC. For top of the line monitors like these you want to make sure you’re getting all the performance you paid for.

ASUS PG27UCDM/PG32UCDMR.

PG27UCDM has been amazing for me, QD-OLED that's effectively the best you can possibly have... Issue would be the price, if you need affordability

For the most part, OLEDs knock IPS out of the water. Better motion and overall picture quality. The only reason you'd go for IPS is if you want a brighter screen or you're worried about the risk of burn-in with OLEDs. That said, the ASUS PG27UCDM if you want an OLED or the Acer XV275K if you want an IPS.

Heya I know you're asking about monitor stuff but I wanted to also float the idea of setting up your system with a dual GPU config via Lossless Scaling for frame generation as that is what ive done with 4k 160Hz via a 5070ti and 3090. Admittedly Its a fair bit of up front work but was really worth the effort in the end.

Your main pain point would require you to check if your mobo can support at least 2 GPUs running at least PCIe 3.0 x8 (ideally PCIe 4.0 x8 or faster to minimize latency). Besides that would be checking your PSUs wattage/PCIe connectors but its not as steep an increase as you might think as before with my solo OC 3090 I averaged about 450W and now with an OC 5070ti 350W as the primary render card and heavily undervolted 3090 at 180-300W as the frame gen card, would be a lower total power increase for you since the 3080 is less of a power glutton. Also PC case clearances.

The result being I can run every recent (released within the last 3-5 years) high fidelity title ive tried at native 4k with either all settings maxed or 1-2 brought down to high (volumetrics is my usual go to, fog/misty effects in recent titles can really nuke your fps lol). Ray tracing has been the only real caveat and its been pretty 50/50, and is also the only reason I sort of wish I had stretched the budget for a 5080 with its reportedly fairly high OC headroom. It really depends on your personal tolerance for AI-based ghosting artifacts but from personal testing 55-60fps base is the ideal for 0 anomalies, 43-54 still pretty solid with the occasional warping during movement, 35-42 is distracting but usable if you can get used to it, 28-34 is basically your absolute functional floor for frame gen to work at all its fine for 1% lows but not advisable as an average.

A bit of a random info dump I know but just figured id share since I saw how similar our GPU pairings are. My 3090 usage varies between 40-70% and ive seen it shoot up to 220+fps when tuning frame gen multiplier so I assume a 3080 can do at least 160-200 might either just barely manage to saturate a 240hz 4k monitor or just slightly fall short in the lower 200s. Personally, I find the smearing/low resolution affect on terrain/character models that upscalers usually introduce more unappealing than frame-gen movement based ghosting but im also not a big e-sports FPS kinda guy anymore so you could use DLSS (fine tuned with Optiscaler in engine or externally with LS) to render at 60-85% of 4k to give you the base frame rate headroom to either eliminate ghosting or make the reach for Ray Tracing (or the real holy grail lighting system and GPU crusher, Path Tracing, for the few titles that currently feature it).

Forgot the devs of LS made a proper PCIe guide as its the easiest thing to get wrong if you arnt already familiar with it https://sageinfinity.github.io/docs/Guides/PCIe%20Guide . Glad what i mentioned could be of intrigue for ya, with a 5070ti + 3080 you definitely wont be doing ALL of the latest and greatest titles at max settings + native resolution at 4k 240Hz without DLSS but 4k 160-200Hz is in the cards

Based on monitors that will release in 2025, the best one seems like it'd be TCL 27R94. Really stoked for when it's purchaseable, as it seems like it could be an end-game monitor.

I'm using the 321URX, and I find it simply amazing.

I had the AW3423DW and DWF earlier, and the jump to 4k was very noticeable. I use a 5090/9800X3D machine though, and it's just awesome.

Personally I don't understand the "OLEDs aren't bright enough" argument. Mine is set to 25% brightness in SDR, and I find that more than bright enough, and naturally in HDR it gets very bright.

"The ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM boasts a 32-inch 4K QD-OLED panel that delivers astounding visuals at a buttery-smooth 240 Hz. Powered by third-generation QD-OLED technology, the PG32UCDM delivers vibrant colors"

It's already third gen, no? All 3 of them should be 3rd gen I think.

Any thoughts on Alogic Clarity, reviews are better than Asus? TIA.

People make a big deal out of buying a DP2.1 UHBR20 monitor to avoid DSC but it doesn't really matter on these current monitors.

The two main (Nvidia-only) problems were:

1. No DLDSR (Nvidias universal supersampling), but it's not really that important at 4k
2. Short black screens when closing an exclusive fullscreen game using an older graphics API (which was pretty easily avoided just by just using bordered windowed anyway). A lot of people seemingly had this problem go away recently as-well with a Windows update

But Nvidia solved these problems on the RTX 50-series, which is also their only cards to actually have a DP2.1 UHBR20 port. DP2.1 on the cards is nice for the future when monitors bandwidth will exceed what DP1.4 w/ DSC can do but until then it's not really something you should care about when buying a monitor imo.

This was last month: https://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/samsung-and-lg-unveil-dazzling-new-display-concepts-at-sid-2025

"The 13-inch blue PHOLED display is still a prototype, designed for tablets and laptops, but it’s pretty much a certainty that LG Display is planning to follow up with actual products.

“Blue phosphorescent OLED is the result of LG Display’s implementation of a newly developed hybrid two-stack Tandem OLED structure," the company said. "By featuring blue phosphorescence in the upper stack of this structure, the IT panel exhibited at SID Display Week 2025 consumes about 15% less power than existing OLED panels.""

I refuse to believe that such an early prototype can spring into mass production on top shelf 32 inch desktop monitors in less than 18 months :/ But that would indeed suck. Whatever, monitor tech has been going balistic for 20 years now, it's so difficult to time the perfect time to buy.

I was looking at this monitor as well but ultimately decided to go with the PG27UCDM, has better PPI due to smaller size; and has a 2.1 display port to run that 240hz 4k uncompressed

The LG UltraGear OLED 27GR95QE-B is the best all-around gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, 1440p resolution, and stunning OLED visuals. For budget-conscious gamers, the Gigabyte M27Q offers great 1440p performance at a lower price.

id definitely recommend the Asus rog swift if you can spare the cash, the hype is justified imo

Best? That's hard to say....

https://rog.asus.com/us/monitors/32-to-34-inches/rog-swift-pg32uqx-model/

Pretty amazing

Samsungs neo8 and neo g7 are good I'm told

If you go big you can get oled

What you looking to spend, what's your gpu lol
