Question about the new oled monitors

[Joe6]

I want to get a new monitor I currently have a 1440 144hz ips but want to make a switch to oled to have a monitor prepared for a new pc build I’m thinking about when Rtx5000 releases.  I want to stick with 1440p as not sure how well my current rig or even new one would handle 4k 240hz. I’ve recently seen the new Msi Mag 341cqp and wondering if this is worth buying or instead looking for a new one if this panel isn’t as good. I know that no matter what the monitor will be outdated by something new but I don’t want to spend lots of money on one that’s not worth it now let alone in the future. 
Any advice is appreciated thanks.

LG will launch a 480Hz OLED soon. If you primarily game and want a 21:9 ultrawide, just get the cheapest one you can find. The AW3423DWF is for $777.

Check out Monitors Unboxed. Tim is a god when it comes to monitors, look through and see if you can find one he recommends or talks about.

Do you think it’s still worth buying this panel even tho it’s older or am I better buying the newer ones?

Well... they slightly improve the text clarity with those new subpixel layouts, but like I said, if you're only gaming and not using Excel... you will never notice. That's the only advantage over those new ones, basically... just get the Alienware for $777.77. The AOC AG276QZD is $649.99.

The main advantages the newer panels bring to the table are better text clarity and higher refresh rates. If you don't use the monitor for work, the text clarity won't be a big problem. And the text clarity is only an issue in desktop applications to begin with, not in games. With refresh rate, you know best if 165Hz is good enough for your use case or if you want to spend extra to get 240, 360 or 480Hz.

 

But in any case, no matter which generation of OLED monitors you buy, always look up reviews on the specific models you're considering. Even though most of them use similar display panels, firmware, color performance, and features in general still vary a lot between different brands.

Depends also on price you plan spending on PC and monitor. So 1440p or 4K. Depends how much you care for premium monitor, some 1440p class can be found on sale which is great buy.

I want to buy the highest end 5000 series I can afford so ideally 5090 but all depends just how much they end up costing.  Do you think it’d be ok to buy a new 4k monitor and downscale it for a while till I upgrade or better off staying with 1440 high refresh?

I'd probably stay with 1440p especially if you play newer games and want solid fps too.
