Hello! I am not very technical and could use help finding a monitor that fits my needs and have no idea where to start. I would like to stay under 1000 if possible but im open to suggestions. I will primarily be playing warzone/COD on my Xbox Series x, WFH so need lots of monitor, and light sims on my PC. Here is what I have gathered i needed:

- prefer OLED over high FPS rate ? Seems like with a budget its either one or the other.

- would love a curved screen

- prefer to have picture in picture so i can stream while i game.

- i know that xbox doesn't support ultrawide - so would still like a good experience gaming even if not ultrawide for this.

i also need help with a docking station, but i think thats against the subreddits rules. ia ppreciate any help anyone can provide.

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
Prefer to stay under 2000, but willing to go up if needed. It is for a business so flexible. Purchasing in US

Are you open to refurbs/used?
Yes.

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Performance is first due to use case. Second would be durability. Third battery life.

How important is weight and thinness to you?
Not very important. Previously looked at Rugged laptops which are a bit clunkier.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
the bigger the better, but don’t need anything ridiculous. NEED touch screen.

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
-Yes, will be using AutoCad, Topcon Layout, Benttec, Quickbooks, and a PC alternative of 5D planner and potentially additional invoicing systems. NEED copilot integrated in, or another AI.

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
N/A.

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
Touch screen. Need to have AI integrated. Decent build quality - may be bringing it around construction sites, etc. but, can accommodate with a case.

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
The person who will be mainly using this relies a ton on speech to text and copilot for day-to-day activities due to difficulty typing. A keyboard is needed but prefer for the operating system to have a smooth integration with this.

TIA!
