On a side note, PLEASE consider making a video about budget monitors. Not everyone has the money to cough up for "OMG 8K 240HZ EPS" display

My ideal monitor is:

 

5K - 5000-something x 2000-something.

32-34"

144Hz (cause dat 24fps upscaling yo)

IPS

GSync

 

I don't care that DP can't handle this right now...I want it.  Ultrawide I don't really care about since I have 3 monitors anyways.

Too small.

The size of the monitor is the very first thing I look at and if it doesn't rival the size of a middle-of-the-road living room TV then it isn't worth my time.

Here we go, Linus is supporting propritary technology again :|)

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

THIS is the monitor I've been waiting for :) It'll take a while to save up for, but this is the one.

 

Think I'll be able to drive it with my current rig (specs below)  close to the 100 hz max?

 

Edit: also I didn't see it in the video, but does anyone know if the stand has tilt, height adjust, pivot?

If @LinusTech receives an other best monitor this year I wouldn't be amazed, it could be a nice bet for something on super fun though.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

This would be great to see... It would be interesting to see how the $100-200 range of monitors stacks up for gaming.

I always hate those chipmunk voices when Jay or Barnacules use them. Please don't start this, it's just annoying.

The Amazon link just goes to a text search, not an actual product. Also, the items that come up do not look like the Predator monitor that was reviewed.

And the NCIX one is 1400 USD. For all those wondering who would buy this at 1300, I'm that guy. It's for my new rig and I budgeted out exactly and the only place that has it is outside of that budget.

Yeah I'm confused, these seem like the same model but are named differently and have different prices.. I'm guessing the exact one Linus reviewed is the $1,265 one?

I was about to get this but just realized it may not be worth it at the moment. Not sure though..

I have the GTX 780 and the "Max Resolution" for it is 2560x1600 and this monitor's native res is 3440x1440. At first I was thinking that I would have to scale down the res to that or lower for the 780. But with Nvidia's DSR is that true anymore?  

Yes I know performance drops quite a bit these days with the 780 at high res' and details but is it still compatible?
