55" panel, widescreen resolution

vong · August 24, 2021

Hi all,

Recently got an LG CX55 as a display for my main pc. Love it but problem right now I sit too close to it for gaming. Just watched LTT's latest video about the Aorus display and now want to try gaming in ultrawide instead of 16:9. Is Linus' resolution of 3840x1800 what I should stick with or play around?

the aorus display really isnt that great if you want to go ultrawide I'd recommend the oddossey neo g9.

The good thing about the Aorus is that it has DP 1.4 so your 1080 ti could do 120hz 4k unlike the LG OLEDs that need HDMI 2.1.

I use 55" OLEDs as monitors.

They are on 30" tables(at the back) and I am about 32" away from them. It works for me.

I also have a 38" 3840 X 1600 ultrawide that is doing productivity only right now. The only reason I am not using it is that my Son needed a "work at home" station and his 55" B9 was in the way so I switched with him.

The LG 38" 144hz monitors are a bit more expensive than a 55" or 48" OLED right now but there is a 75hz version that is cheaper.
