Gaming Monitor discussion

Does anyone have any experience with this 1440p monitor? I'm considering it for my Series X, but I'm not sure I want a curved monitor. Other suggestions under $400 are welcome.

I have the 1080p version of this monitor and I love it. So I would assume it's pretty good. And that price seems to be really good as well.

Can't seem to find any reviews for it though. Nothing on rtings.

I'm just wondering about the HDR mode. It would have to get pretty bright for it to be good. And it would probably have to be a 10 bit panel, which I can't find that info either.

I’m still looking too. I know I want free sync but thinking about 4K

Under specs, it says “bit depth” is 8 bit. Is that the info you were looking for?

No reviews is a little worrisome. Maybe it’s new.

Yeah, 8 bit won't give you true HDR. I would either look for 10 bit or save some money and don't worry about HDR. I know a lot of people don't even bother with HDR when it comes to gaming monitors. A lot of other specs can be more important. It just depends how important it is to you.

What's my best option for a xbox series X monitor?

I currently have a Dell Alienware AW3418DW 34" (Actual size 34.14") 1900R WQHD 3440 x 1440 120Hz, that i've been using with my pc for a couple years, and really like, however with Madden Next Get not coming to PC, I'm thinking i'd like to upgrade as the series X doesn't not support Ultrawide.

Not very monitor savvy when it comes to numbers and such, but looking for a bigger monitor, that can that the series x can utilize to it's fullest potential.

I would jump on the ROG Strix XG43UQ xbox edition but not really feeling like waiting around for it to drop.

Any great options you can recommend?

Not a monitor, but in my opinion, the best option is the 48 CX/C1 LG OLED.

I don't have a recommendation, but I just wanted to say that I have the same monitor. Do you overclock for 120Hz routinely? Just curious.
