I currently have a 42 inch 1080p 60hz tv as my main monitor and i want to choose a better monitor than my tv but im puzzled between which is better cuved or 4k . For right now i can't afford a 4k 144hz ultracurve monitor but my requrements for them are
Curved monitor
at least 120hz or more
doesn't have to be 4k
Bigger than 38"
4k monitor
120hz or more
bigger than at least 38"
Tried overclocking my tv but won't hit more than 60hz.
What are you using the monitor for? The specs are really tall, as both 4k and curved monitors are quite new.
First of all, there seems to be only one 4k 120Hz monitor in existence, and it's $5,000, and it's 30". Bigger screens with higher refresh rate are incredibly hard to find, because if it's not synced properly tearing is incredibly obvious. It's going to be a few years before you see bigger monitors as they're going to work on filling the market with monitors that have higher refresh rate.
Either way, you'll have to wait until DP1.4 becomes a standard so you can actually push it.
I also can't find any curved monitors over 35". Sorry.
Its ok im kinda new to the curve monitor, 4k market , i mostly use my monitors for
video editing and recording
gaming (intensive AAA titles and esports games)
Thats pretty much it.
I'll lower the inches down but keep the refresh rate at 120 ,144 or more
Well, you can look at 1440p 144Hz monitors, but I don't think you'll find one over 30".
Here's a 21:9 curved (2560x1080) that's 144Hz and 35".
I believe Samsung has a curved 4k TV (JU6500?) where the 40" variety has seen successful use as a monitor, although you'll be stuck with HDMI 2.0 inputs.
I'm okay with that its just I'm new to this whole 4k/ curved monitor type market but thanks for the refrernce
I have the XR3501 35" which has a tighter curve and suits my race sim only games I play on it at 2560x1080 @ 120Hz (it can't actually do 144Hz as claimed without overshooting colours). Being an MVA panel with high contrast and deep blacks I also prefer watching films on it.
That's compared to my main monitor which is an Acer X34 which will do 100 Hz in gaming + G-Sync. I don't actually see any tearing on the Ben Q but I can run AAA titles like Witcher 3 with max settings on the X34 and G-Sync helps to maintain a smooth experience even with large fps swings. The X34 is also better for browsing + desktop apps due to the slightly less curve and higher overall res 3440x1440.
There's an Acer XR382CQK with 37.5" Curved Ultrawide IPS Panel coming out towards the end of the year with a 2:4:1, with a 3840 x 1600 resolution but only 75Hz + FreeSync but getting near a good all round TV Monitor.
What's that?
You're gonna have a hell of a time trying to run games at 4k 144hz. It would be prudent to start with 1440p first.
That should be 2.4:1 or the aspect ratio as the 1600 vertical res is taller than the more common 21:9 monitors with 1080 or 1440.
