What do you mean by 2k? Or do you mean 1440p? 1440p is not 2k, don't call it that.

 

Anyways, if you did indeed mean 1440p, what features are you looking for (size, gsync, etc.)?

2K is ~2000 px wide, so 1920 x 1080 most likely.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

I know everyone's trying to jump on the Kwagon but for transparency let's just use 2560x1440p from now on.

Very unlikely most 1440p monitors here for me start at least 500aud on the norm... gsync you are looking at least 900aud+ :S for a high frame rate 1440p

Any other, the preferred size would be around 25" i can do 27" but it will be very tight, Would you guys recommend to switch from dual monitors to an ultrawide.
