harpsi Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hi I am finishing my setup with the last thing: the monitor. I know that with a big high end GPU everyone would advice a 4K monitor. The situation is: I don't have too much G-Sync monitors available and the budget is not too much right now. Probably I am going to buy Dell Allienware AW3420DW because I have a big discount at the moment. But... this monitor is only 8 bits and no HDR. Is this a big problem?

Jon Clarke Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 It depends on your budget which you do not indicate. Also what is the country you are in. I ask because I am in UK and there are plenty of 4K monitors under £200 available here. Here is an example: https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/electriq-28-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-1ms-freesync-monitor-eiq-284kmb-hdr/version.asp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpsi Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) After thinking, rethinking, having some extra bugdet and seeing that good monitors are also in shortage like GPUs, I have now two options at a great discount: - Dell Allienware AW3420DW with G-Sync native, 3440*1440, but no HDR >>> 863 euros - LG 48A16LA 48" OLED UltraHD 4K with fixed refresh rate at 60 Hz and it seems with HDR10 (is it true?) >>> 1015 euros My main problem is tearing, lag or stutters when MSFS is going to 20-30 fps since I like to have all types of extra addons installed like AI aircraft, volumetric clouds and so on... Which one to choose? I still have 1 day to decide... My main specs are: i9-10900K, Asus RTX 3090 OC, MSI MEG Z490 ACE, RAM 32 GB 3200 CL16 and Kraken Z73. Answering Jon Clarke, I am in Portugal where there is some shortage of good monitors. But I bought half of my new computer in Spain and components were here in 1 or 2 days... And FreeSync is not recommended for NVidia GPUs, as far as I know from many comments here. Edited June 28, 2021 by harpsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
