Upgrading monitors - 2x 24inch or 1x ultra-wide

Baldyaus23 · May 12

Hi All,

Im looking at upgrading my display setup since my Birthday is soon, and i have about $450-600 AUD to look at allocating towards the setup.

I'm looking for one of the following options 2x 24 inch displays that have freesync/ gsync or possibly an ultra-wide to replace my current setup, if you have any other ideas feel free to share!

My current setup is 1x Acer GD245HQ (3d Display, what happened to 3D.....) the other is a Acer G245H, My system is running a RTX3070 with an intel i7-12700k running 32gb of RAM.

I have two 24" monitors on my desk, one 1920x1200 , one 1080p ... if I were to replace them, I'd probably go for a 40" or bigger, with some picture in picture functionality (so I could have the screen split in two seamlessly and have game run on one half and the other half treated as a second monitor)

In your budget, I think AOC CU34G2X is well reviewed : https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/LmRgXL/aoc-cu34g2xbk-340-3440-x-1440-144-hz-curved-monitor-cu34g2xbk

It's 34" but wide, 3440x1440 , which would work well with a RTX3070, and it's also HDR10 capable, and up to 144 fps.

If you can stretch your budget to $700, LG 32GP850-B may be an option ... it's reviewed a bit better (though lacks HDR) : https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/8snypg/lg-32gp850-b-320-2560x1440-165-hz-monitor-32gp850-b

You get lower resolution at only 2560x1440 but it's IPS panel with better color accuracy. I'm not sure I'd go with it instead of the AOC above.

At 800$ you get a very good for gaming (and also movie watching) Gigabyte 4K monitor but with lousy ergonomics : https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/WchFf7/gigabyte-m32uc-315-3840-x-2160-160-hz-curved-monitor-m32uc-sa
