What monitor is right for me?

I’ve looked at a ton of monitors with different features in different price ranges and I just can’t decide because I’ve always played on very subpar displays with low graphics settings but I should be able to build a computer soon and so now I want the best viewing experience I can get. 

 

I like accurate color production but it’s not the most important thing. If the monitor has decent color production or good color production I would like that very much because it’s pleasing but what I care about most is image blur/ghosting. Ghosting makes me really mad when I see it and would draw me more out of the experience than colors not wowing me. Being immersed is cool sometimes for certain things but I want to be able to react quickly and have a smooth experience over most other things. I play mostly multiplayer games with my friends and some competitive things and I don’t do much single player anymore. So keeping frames high is very important as well. 

 

I know what I do and do not want it’s just about what people think would be the best compromise for those things because I can’t get exactly what I want and I’ve accepted that. 

 

What I don’t want: Ghosting, glare, backlight bleed, badly reviewed product

What I do want: Above or equal to 144hz, a resolution not too high to kill my frames to maintain said refresh rate (I’m looking at a 2080 ti), something not to big and not to small, decent colors

 

Like I said I do care about colors and I know the pg279q and the z variant would be good but I just don’t want to get it and send it back because I hate the ghosting they might have. 

 

A good tn seems like it would be alright but I just remember having one on my laptop and hating it, but it was also a thing you move around so the viewing angles were messing with me. A decent brightness and color producing tn maybe seems like my best bet. 

 

Please share your thoughts.

I don’t want a 4K monitor otherwise I can see why you recommended it. 4K would be too hard to run if I wanted to utilize most games with 144hz.

my current monitor, sorta HDR but it really needs to be brighter imho at it's size, nvidia supports freesync now so nice, very dark blacks

600 peak nit brightness for hdr, heard there are some backlight issues but I'm too tired to verify, freesync again

im sorry im too tired to verify is this is the ips pannel that fixes haloing but nano ips is the newest tech they have

Yeah I think the lg panel will be really good and the reviews say there’s like no ghosting so I think I found my choice. Cheers pal.
