New monitors

[Ergroilnin]

Hello,

 

I am thinking of using my overtime and christmas money for new monitors (700-900 euros give or take for both.)

 

Atm, I am using a 32" QLED VA 144hz samsung as main and 21" TN 1080p 60hz AOC as a secondary monitor.

 

Unfortunately I did spill a coke on the samsung, so it now has 2 vertical lines of broken pixels (I do not to be honest mind them that much with my use).

 

My usecase for the main monitor is everything from web browsing to gaming, tho I do not play FPS or MOBAs very often, but I can see the difference between 60 to 144hz with even mouse movement.

 

So I am thinking of getting myself 2 new monitors 27 - 28 inch, 4k 60 HZ IPS for the secondary, where I usually put my movies when playing and QHD 120-144 HZ IPS as new main monitor (TBH, QHD at 32" is fine, but getting better image quality would not hurt... I'd love 4k here as well, but I do not want to spend so much money for 4k 144hz ip, especially considering that some games I play do not even scale well with 4k.)

 

My GPU is 1060 6gb and for the most part, it is doing it's job well. Obviously I will upgrade that in the future, but not likely to much higher tier. Say, if I had the money, the highest I'd go right now would be 3070 at best due to my use case.

 

By the way, is QLED VA colors better than IPS when not doing color critical work? I would not mind going another QLED VA as main if that is the case, since I am not using it for work and I love deep blacks (I even got OLED LG TV so that might have ruined me a bit) and as far as I know, VA does have the best blacks and thus contrast, which makes other colors pop out, especially with QLED?

 

And obviously, I was doing, am doing and will be doing my own research, but I'd love some pointers to consider.

 

Thank you.

A 1060 will not hold at 1440- you'll have a pretty bad time trying to run games at that resolution.

 

So what you get kind of depends on how soon you'll upgrade that gpu

QLED is being used as a filter to make colors better, sort of the same thing with NANO IPS etc.

However they might make it too much of a contrast in sRGB (common use case), calibrate for sRGB might make the colors look more natural.

VA doesn't really have the best blacks, IPS and OLED should beat that unless they have those filters I would assume?

VA do however have higher contrast than most other types, don't know the contrast of OLED (sadly oled can burn in).

 

common for IPS contrast?

1000:1

VA

3000:1

 

When it comes to HZ, I might see more IPS do better so long it's not an cheap IPS display.
