Help finding a new display...

MoonDoggy-X
This is my second thread about this, so I will keep it as short and to the point as possible. My ideal display is 32 inches, 16:9 aspect ratio, 1440p/144hz. But, as Player177 over on IGN said, what I want simply doesn't exist. So, I'm over it.

 

I want a proper display that will push my rig to its limits(1440p/4k). My specs are in my signature. This is my current display... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA8RW38E5771&cm_re=seiki-_-89-522-025-_-Product

 

Pros: True 1080p/120hz input over hdmi(tested). The size Size: the 39 inch screen is awesome for gaming and movies. Immersion city! Especially for open world games. I got it for less than $300.

 

Cons: To get the TV to accept 1080p/120hz input, I had to install the drivers from the 55inch version, which locked out 3/5 of the screen adjustments(color, tint, sharpness). The size: 39 inch screen is too big for everything but gaming and movies. I actually put the display on a book shelf behind my desk, because on the desk was too close.  4k is only at 30hz and the colors look funky for games, but not videos, weird. Also, there's this weird hazing effect over the screen. Its less noticeable when watching video, even less with games, but still annoying...


 

My hope is that seeing what I like, and don't like, about my current display will help you to help me51.gif find a new one. I know i will have to compromise with either the size, refresh rate, or aspect ratio, so I'm open to suggestions. I would like to stay under $700. Browsing the web, this is what I've come up with so far...

 

43 inch 1080p/120hz and 4k/60hz with hdmi 2.0... Too big.


-or-

27 inch 1440p/144hz monitor... Too small.


-or-

32 inch 1440p/60hz monitor... Too slow.


 

Of course, any thought, opinions and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
