Hey everyone, I’m trying to decide between two monitors and could use some opinions before I buy one.
My PC specs:
* RTX 5080 16GB
* Ryzen 7 9800X3D
* 32GB DDR5 RAM
The two monitors I’m considering:
* Gigabyte MO27Q28GR — 27-inch Glossy Tandem OLED, 1440p, 280Hz
* Alienware AW3426DW — 34-inch Curved QD-OLED, 3440×1440, 280Hz
I mainly play World of Warcraft, but occasionally I’ll get into games like Call of Duty, ARC Raiders, and other AAA titles.
My biggest priorities are graphics and FPS. I love having everything looking amazing, with vibrant colors, good brightness, and great picture quality. I usually play on max graphics settings, but I’m willing to lower a few settings if the visual difference isn’t noticeable and it helps with FPS.
I also really enjoy curved monitors and the immersion they offer, which is why I’m considering the 34-inch Alienware. However, I’m wondering if the extra resolution would hurt my FPS enough to make the 27-inch Gigabyte the better choice.
I’m not interested in 4K. I want to stick with 1440p or 1440p ultrawide.
I’m also open to other 27-inch or 34-inch OLED recommendations around this price range if there’s something better.
Just looking for the best balance of amazing graphics, immersion, brightness, and high FPS. I’d appreciate any advice from people who have experience with these monitors. Thanks!
Which monitor? Help
High Hz on OLED produce excellent strobeless motion blur reduction with fast GtG pixel response. It is easier to tell apart 60Hz vs 120Hz vs 240Hz on OLED than LCD, and more visible to mainstream. Includes WOLED and QD-OLED displays.
