r/buildapcmonitors

I'm planning to buy the KOORUI 34E6UC (34", 3440×1440, 165Hz, VA, curved) and wanted to hear from people who actually own or have used it.

For some context:

• I mainly play story-driven games (Cyberpunk, RDR2, God of War, etc.).
• I'm completely happy with 60–90 FPS in single-player games.
• I only play competitive games like PUBG or COD occasionally.
• I also do some casual photo editing and watching YouTube.

I'm coming from a 22" 1080p 75Hz IPS monitor, but before that I used VA monitors for years. I honestly never paid attention to ghosting until I started researching monitors. Even now, I only notice it if I deliberately stare at ghosting tests.

My main questions are:

• How noticeable is the ghosting or black smearing in actual games?
• Is the VA panel good enough for someone who mainly plays story games?
• Any issues with VRR/FreeSync, flickering, or quality control?
• How are the colors after calibration or out of the box?

The reason I'm considering this model is that in my country (Bangladesh), it's around ৳42,500, and at this price it's basically the only 34" curved ultrawide available. The other option I'm looking at is a 27" 1440p 200Hz IPS, but I feel like I'd enjoy the immersion of an ultrawide more than the extra refresh rate.

LG monitor preferred

I was wondering if there were any recommendations that were better than the ASUS VG249. For reference, I play simpler games like Roblox, Fortnite, skate., and skate 3. I’m not very educated on monitors but i’m looking for one of similar price, or under 200 and one that is better than the VG249, or atleast won’t fail within 2 years of regular use.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to upgrade my monitor and would appreciate some advice from people who have experience with these models.

Current setup:

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT

Current monitor: 24-inch Samsung 1080p IPS, 75Hz (not sure about the exact model)

The monitor has been great, but I think it's finally time to move to a 27-inch 1440p high refresh rate display since my GPU should handle 1440p gaming quite well.

The monitor will be used for approximately:

60% Gaming

40% Coding/Productivity

I've decided not to go with an OLED display. While I know OLED offers a fantastic gaming experience, I'll also be spending several hours coding every day. From what I've read, text rendering on OLED still isn't ideal for long productivity sessions, so I'd prefer to stick with an IPS panel.

After reading a lot of reviews and browsing Reddit, I've narrowed my options down to:

LG 27GS75Q

Alienware AW2725DM

BenQ EX271Q

Current prices in India are:

LG 27GS75Q – ₹19,000

Alienware AW2725DM – ₹23,000

BenQ EX271Q – ₹22,000

I'm leaning towards the Alienware AW2725DM because it seems to receive consistently positive feedback, but I'm not sure whether it's worth paying around ₹4,000 more than the LG.

I'd like to know:

Is the Alienware noticeably better in terms of overall image quality, motion handling, colors, HDR performance, and build quality?

Is the LG the better value for the price?

How does the BenQ compare with these two?

Are there any other 27-inch 1440p IPS gaming monitors in the ₹20,000–25,000 price range that I should consider?

I'm planning to keep this monitor for several years, so I'd rather make the right choice than simply buy the cheapest option.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I want to know if the monitor experts of the internet consider this crazy. I use my PC for R6, Kovaaks, apex legends and the occasional OW2 session. Right now I am gaming on a curved VA 27” 1080p monitor. Terrible compliance, ghosting everywhere, terrible PPI and terribly slow response time. I want to upgrade, but not spend a lot of money. I strictly play FPS games so I thought a used Zowie monitor would be a good choice. I found a deal on a used XL2540X+. Thats 280hz on their new ”fast” TN-panel (nothing non-oled is fast I know). This would give me a monitor thats very easy to transport (moving out soon) and more importantly it’s very budget. I presume this sub is very anti-zowie, but for 2000-2500 sek, is there really any better option? It’s clearly not a big enough budget for OLED, and I have no desire for IPS or VA color quality, I just want performance.

All advice is appreciated!

hello, i currently own 1080p ips 240hz monitor . i recently upgraded my pc to 9800x3d and 9070xt . now i want to purchase monitor but cant decide between alienware AW2725D vs alienware AW2726DM. aw2725d has better brightness at 250 nits and aw2726dm at 200 nits sdr . also hdr brightness of aw2725d is way better. But, aw2725d is 150 $ expensive in my region than aw2726dm.

I am purchasing oled for first time and never have experienced oled . does that higher brightness level justify paying higher price for it . also should i buy 32inch 4k ips for gaming or oled 27inch will be better ?

Best 27inch 2K (QHD) 200+Hz monitor in 15-16k
Some options I saw were:

1. Lenovo Lenovo Legion {Smartchoice} R27qe Gen 2
2. Acer 27inch Monitor
3. BenQ

**Hey guys,**
Can't make up my mind on a new 1440p monitor and really need some help. Right now I'm looking at two options:

**\* Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQL5A (around $200)**
**\* KTC H27T6 (around $165)**

The Asus looks super solid and well-built, which I really like, but I have no idea how the colors and contrast compare to the KTC. Is it actually worth the extra $35?

I'll be using it mostly for work (a lot of Excel and Word, so I need sharp, readable text), but I also game quite a bit. For multiplayer I mostly play Valorant, but I also love heavy single-player games like Cyberpunk, GTA V, and I'm obviously waiting for GTA VI.

Pushing frames won't be an issue since I just built a PC with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and an RTX 5070 Ti.

I live in Europe, so I'll be buying from Amazon.de. If there's any other/better model on German Amazon around the €150 - €200 mark that I missed, please let me know.

Thanks!

I currently game on my Xbox Series X, with a 27” 1080p 180hz Acer monitor. I play a mix of some single player and multiplayer games (Resident Evil, 007, Rocket League, FC26, Marvel Rivals).

I’ve done so much online research, and the more research I do the less I know what to get. There are way too many options. I obviously would like to still have at least 180hz since I’m planning on building a PC within the next year. My budget is $400-$700 USD. I’m not picky between 27” and 32” monitors. What I’m getting hung up on is Mini LED vs OLED and 4K vs 1440p.

I’d like a 4K monitor for the XSX, but I know because of my budget, my future PC would target 1440p. Also, I usually only game at night in a dark room, which makes me lean towards OLED. On the other hand, I do sometimes work from home, and I deal with a lot of spreadsheets, so I’d be worried about future burn in (even though there’s lots of technology in place to help prevent that).

If anyone has been in this similar situation and has any recommendations please let me know.

I have an lg ultra gear and a 5080 I want to know if I should use gpu scaling or display in the nvidia control panel. I want whatever gives least latency. Also I have override the scaling mode set by games and programs checked. Is that right? Thanks

Yo guys, I'm upgrading my setup and I've managed to narrow it down to these 4 monitors, but now I'm completely stuck on which one to get.

• AOC Q27G4/WS
• KOORUI G2722P
• Philips Evnia 27M2N3500PF
• MSI MAG 274QF X24

I play a mix of competitive games and story games, so I need something that's good at both. I'm not a hardcore sweat who's gonna notice every tiny detail—I just want the best overall monitor with solid image quality, smooth performance, and the least amount of issues (ghosting, flickering, bad QC, etc.).

If anyone has used any of these or knows which one is the best overall, I'd really appreciate the help. Which one would you pick and why?

Hey!

I'm looking for a new gaming monitor since my old one (LG 27GP850-B) died and looking for a new monitor for working and gaming, I would likely want to stick to 1440p even though my pc could 'handle' 4K (9070 XT, 9800X3D, 32GB Ram).

I did some digging locally (Romania) and I could find these models, I would like to get them from my country since I want to have warranty just in case I have an issue.

TCL 27P2A Pro - 248 euros

LG 27GS85Q-B - 178 euros

ASUS XG27ACMES - 240 euros

Alienware AW2725DM - 200 euros

ASUS VG27AQL5A - 190 euros

Gigabyte M27Q3 - 267 euros

All models are IPS since I'm afraid of burn in since I work with a lot of static elements.

Thank you!

I'm planning to upgrade my PC setup and am looking for a 24-inch monitor and a pair of speakers.

My usage is mainly:

• Assignments, MS Office & PowerPoint

• Reading PDFs and research

• Watching movies, series, documentaries & YouTube

I don't game or do video editing. My priorities are great display quality, eye comfort, build quality, reliability, and long-term durability. I'd rather buy once and use them for years.

For speakers, I'm looking for clear, balanced sound rather than heavy bass.

My budget is flexible if the quality justifies the price.

What would you recommend based on your personal experience? Also, are there any models I should avoid?

Thanks in advance!

Hey I’m looking to buy my first oled monitor and wanted to know what type of panel is the best and what are the pros and cons of both.

It's on sale from my local store. Looking for a 27" that is good for work and gaming with KVM function. Is there anything better for the price? Should I drop the KVM feature if I can get better value recommendations?
