there are more pixels with 2160p ofcause, if you can tell the difference, is another matter saw some web app years ago when it was about if I could tell the diffecence between 720p and 1080p on a 40" tv and at a distance, the app says I had to be closer than 2meters from the tv in order to do that. personally I focus more on fps than res

Personally I could never go back to 60hz. So I'd rather 1080 and take some distance.

Between 1080p@120Hz and 4k@60Hz, I'd pick 4k.

Between 1440p@120hz and 4k@60hz, I'd pick 1440p.

1080p is no way to live in 2023.

For fps games 1080p 120fps For story games 4k 60fps

60 Hz is bearable with a controller. 1080p is unbearable regardless of the situation.

Best resolution for gaming is what your GPU can handle at 60+fps. Or what monitor you have at hand :)

We used to game at 800x600 or worse. Anything you can use to get the game running is fine.

I game at 3440x1440 and my 8700k rtx2080 struggles to max some games above 40fps

Seems like 1440p is still the sweet spot for performance to dollars.

If you're going 1080p may I recommend the MAG241C by MSI?

For the price it's an amazing monitor

There isnt one just depends on your budget

The only logical answer is actually a question:

How far away from the TV are you sitting ?...

I think 42" & up should be 4K. 55" & up definitely

I play on an 80 inch 4k and the switch graphics are still rather good as are the PS4 with no huge notable loss in fidelity. I sit probably about 13'-15' away from it and the only real issue I run into which I didn't really think about is that text can be pretty tough to read from that distance but other than that I really enjoy it.

Well, there’s multiple factors to consider. So it’s not really easy to just say ‘this size of tv is the best for gaming.’ Obviously going bigger will get a bigger picture but if it’s the same resolution as a smaller tv, than the overall picture fidelity will be worse. If you can get a 4K or 8k or whatever the hell k they’re up to now, than it should be better for a larger picture, as in, the fidelity wouldn’t really be noticeable to the human eye. It will be as good looking as you’ll be able to perceive.

You also have to consider viewing distance. You could get a 65 inch tv, or even an 80 inch tv, but in either case it’s safe to say there will be a relative ‘optimal’ viewing distance so if your room will not accommodate that distance, than it won’t be a good fit.

I have a ps4 and a switch and game on a 55 inch tv from about ten feet away and I’m perfectly happy with it. Someday I’d love to get a 65 or 70 inch 4K tv in a darker better environment room at an optimal distance, but that’s in the future.

My two cents.

I use to run on a big screen, then I got a top Asus laptop gamed on that for a few years now I'm back on council and enjoy and perform better on a much smaller screen, I don't play on anything bigger than a 30 odd inch anymore. That's my opinion

Im running 3840x1646 on my 42 C2 in first person games, and some third person too. I switch between native and ultrawide with "monitor profile switcher".

Careful, I used my old C2 on ultrawide mode exclusively and it eventually developed noticeable uneven wear

Keep in mind the more you do it with the black bars, the more you're wearing out the pixels unevenly which can lead to burn in quicker.

Not a big deal if you do it every now and then, but could be an issue if you run it primarily like this all the time rather than full screen.

I won’t take a risk, I will stay at 16:9, which is good afterwards.

Ive been meaning to test this on my 55" 4k led tv. It should be nice for (a)rpg / mmos to use a 21:9 ratio that allows you to see more in games like d4 and poe2.

The tv has no built-in 21:9 scaling in the options. But it does have a hdmi label as "pc 144hz". Could it work if i scale from the PCs GPU to get a 1600 res in 21:9?

I’ve been using Sony TV’s for gaming for years. I’m currently using a 75” X95K for my PS5 and Series X and love it.

If you want a good mini-LED for gaming, check out the Bravia 7 or if you don’t mind paying extra for the best of the best, the Bravia 9 is the top dog Sony mini-LED TV around now. There’s a ton of reviews about both these TV’s on YouTube, you can look into them yourself.

Sounds like the LG C4 65" 4k OLED is what you should be looking st real quick while its on sale for $1196 at bestbuy for their members.

I would say get a Bravia 7, I have one and I love it. People talk about viewing angles , reflections and pixel transitions, none of which I’ve found an issue with. I’ve yet to hear anyone knock the Picture quality or gaming features. I play Elden ring and have no issues with pixel transitions. I’d give it a 10/10

I've been PC gaming 4k on my Sony a80j for 2-3 years. It's been working flawlessly.

Yeah I mean you can spend 1k for this and you can spend 3k. Depends on if you want a budget option.or a high end one.

I run a 60" 4K. 65" or 72" would be better. I hate wearing my glasses lol.

24” monitor is the best for me.. used to play on my 55” tv and my kd improved from 0,69 to 2,20!

This one? https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-UN82MU8000-82-Inch-Ultra/dp/B072Q1ZF3M

50 to 55, you won't sense a big difference.

back when i gamed on 360, a 42in tv was ideal. now I game on a 35in ultrawide, and I think that's about the right size for my setup, afterall the curve does make the screen seem less wide and is immersive as hell.

Yes, a 21:9 aspect ratio is great for immersive gaming and wider FOV in supported titles. However, it requires strong hardware and may have compatibility issues with some games.

Yes its great, I used it for like 4-5 years. I had a beefy machine the whole time though (3080 -> 4090) but I swapped over to 4K 16:9 and got a 5090 recently. The higher resolution is noticeably sharper.

21:9 is awesome. Some games don’t support it, especially older titles but moders fix pretty much any game. All new games support it. I bought 21:9 QD-OLED and I’m loving it. I don’t think I will ever switch back to 16:9. Anything higher them 21:9 feels a bit like an overkill also most games support up to 21:9 but not higher. In conclusion 21:9 no problem, 32:9 or higher usually issues.

OLED will probably provide the best gaming experience as it has the best colors and response times - only issues are potential burn in (if it’s gaming focused probably not a big issue) and brightness. I wouldn’t put an OLED right next to an open window etc.

These are safe choices and minimums.

1. Oled (LG WOled is my preference but this will change)
2. 34" feels too small for me but that's personal. 40" is big. 49" is very very big. I have 48".
3. Ultrawide (21:9)
4. 144Hz minimum
5. 100PPI minimum for productivity

For reference I have a 40" IPS Ultrawide, 48" WOLED 21:9 and just bought a 32:9 MSI OLED Superultrawide. GPU is 4070Ti

I'd really recommend the 49 super ultrawides. For me any compromise in fps or 4k is worth it for the immersion

There are a million rabbitholes you can go down, and admittedly I haven't gone down a lot of them.

Screen size does have an impact on resolution. If you have a 3440x1440p monitor, there will always be 4,953,600 pixels on the display. If the screen is 32" diagonally, it will have 116 PPI (pixels per inch), but a 34" diagonal screen will have 109 PPI. Higher PPI is going to look more clear- it's why 4K monitors are so clear, the same 34" monitor at 4K resolution will have about 163 PPI. The human eye can see up to about 300 PPI, so this will certainly have an effect on clarity, but like everything else there's a compromise to make between money and performance. Personally I wouldn't go with anything below about 100 PPI (https://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/technology/ppi-calculator.php). Finally, a monitor with lower PPI will look better if placed further away... So a 27" and 32" with the same pixel count will look the same if they both take up 30 degrees of your field of view.

As far as refresh rate goes, more is always better, but be realistic about whether the games you're playing and your GPU can handle what you buy. I downgraded from a 180hz 27" to a 144hz 34", and it doesn't matter because I get about 90 FPS in my favorite games anyway. Realistically, I think most people will be satisfied with 120-144hz. You can probably go to a local Best Buy or Microcenter and look for monitors that seem "smooth enough", then decide if extra frames is worth the money.

A flat or Ultrawide will both be fine, be aware you're going to get biased thoughts on an "Ultrawide master race" reddit!! Bigger monitors are better with a curve IMO because it shortens the distance between the edges of the screen and your eyes, and especially with a large display, the difference between distance to center & edges of the screen can vary quite a bit. Depending on your distance to the screen, about 30" is the largest I would go with a flat panel, anything above that you will appreciate some curve I think.

OLED is going to run circles around essentially any other panel type. I don't own an OLED personally, but I see over & over that burn-in is a lesser issue than 5 years ago, panel conservation tech is better, and people go years without ever having issues. When I did Ultrawide shopping recently, it seemed like a 2540x1440 IPS was about $200 new, and a 3440x1440 IPS was like $700... so if you're buying a new (edit: Ultrawide) monitor, the extra $$ to get OLED might be worth it.
