Posted January 31, 2019 I currently have this monitor: https://www.benqdirect.com/rl2455hm-refurb.html GPU: rx 480 (model with less ram) CPU: amd fx-something I am looking for a second monitor which I would use for coding, browsing the web, etc. and maybe gaming in the future. I say gaming in the future because I currently my system can probably only run AAA games well at 1080p. I want to buy a monitor that has a higher resolution that my current one and is between 23-27 inches big. I was looking at buying this monitor: https://www.microcenter.com/product/479549/27ud58-b-27-4k-uhd-60hz-hdmi-dp-freesync-led-monitor, which is a 4k 60hz monitor. I would either use it only for non-gaming (until I have a better PC) or run it at 1080p. Now to why I am posting this here, I heard that people run into scaling issues when running a 1080p and 4k monitor side by side. Is that still an issue? (On windows 10) Is a WQHD monitor with 120 or 144hz a better option? - (keep in mind I won't be playing games in the the native resolution for a while) Anything else I should watch out for? Any monitor recommendations? Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your help! only get that 4k monitor if you want to watch content in 4k because no way your playing 4k games with a fx chip those are vastly out dated so for youtube and movies sure but for gaming only no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
