Monitor advice

[carrot_monkey]

cool thanks chaps.

I think i ll go for the 32" Samsung Odyssey for now but the G55 I think at 144 Hz and priced more reasonably (for me) and not the G7. I have ambitions to get a G9 in the future, I think they look stellar, but after we finish some work in the house. For now I think the 32" will be more "nimble" to move our my place as the works go...

Also the G55 and the G9 together... it will feel like the bridge of the enterprise if I ever go down that road.

I wouldn’t go for the odyssey, you’re paying for the 240hz, but won’t ever be using it?

You could get a far superior panel with better colours and blacks and 144hz for less money

Hey there yes I took that into account, 240 Hz is a bit much.

The G55 is at 144Hz I think as it is the smaller sibling of the G7. But same size and resolution as the G7.

Samsung C32G55T/Odyssey G5 Review: 1440p 144Hz Curved Monitor

The Samsung C32G55T/C27G55T from the Odyssey G5 series is a 32"/27" 1440p 144Hz VA gaming monitor with a steep 1000R screen curvature.

Price seems to be closer to what was thinking to spent on a monitor as well! Still not cheap but not as expensive as the G7. Almost half!

The G5 is a standard 1440p 144Hz but has no HDR. At the budget, I'd really want HDR it's basically such a huge benefit and should be a go to requirement for new monitors IMHO.

This one isn't too much more than the 32" but has full HDR10 support and everything else the G5 has, this is a much better investment imho:

I hear ya I hear ya. My issue with HDR is that I keep on seeing that "it's not there yet" with this or that monitor, or games don't support it yet as much, so to me it felt that it's not something to focus thaaat much right now with the current monitor selection. More like something that is advertised as supported but when everything is plugged in it is still rough around the edges. I know not so scientific my last statement.

I think I was looking at the one you are proposing as well but the 32" variant actually which come to be inferior to the 27" in rtings and the ninja site. Decisions decisions!

The G5 is a nice monitor

There isn't a 32" variant of that monitor. They do do a 32" monitor, but it's a different model, much cheaper panel and doesn't include HDR.

I was thinking about these two to be honest, I thought they were close enough to be considered variants of each other.

ASUS TUF VG32VQ vs ASUS TUF VG27AQ Side-by-Side Monitor Comparison

The ASUS TUF VG27AQ is significantly better than the ASUS TUF VG32VQ. Though they share the same design, the VG27AQ has an IPS panel with much better viewing angles, color accuracy, and black uniformity. On the other hand, the VG32VQ's VA panel has a better contrast ratio, can get brighter, and...

The AQ model is the premium tier, IPS panel and Full HDR10, it's the top tier.

The VQ is more of a budget range with VA panel and no HDR support.

Ahh I see I see.

Cool thanks that is a fair differentiating factor.

I have been looking at monitors at 32" for now.

Cheers!
