Best beginner setup under $700?

Curved ultrawide is perfect for you. Look into a 1440p (QHD) 34” or a 49”. Im rocking the MSI Optix MAG342CQR and its great. Downside is that it uses smaller VESA (75 x 75) instead of the standard 100x100 so I had to drill holes in my mounting plate.

What size screen are you playing on?

MSI MAG342CQR - seemed like a good budget monitor. I still need to buy a PS5. After 2042’s launch, I walked away from gaming. Excited to get back on the battlefield!

In market for monitor AOC Q27G4ZMN or Gigabyte M27Q3 SA1 / SA

If you’re open to something a bit different, the MSI Optix MAG342CQR ($319) is worth considering. It’s an ultrawide, which makes single-player games way more immersive, and overall it’s a solid all-around performer for the price. Fwiw my mate and i looked into a bunch of monitors in this range and t

1000R curvature, which gives a more immersive feel, especially in FPS or racing games. But just so you know: The Odyssey G5 is only VA panel, which means deeper blacks but not as vibrant as the MSI MAG 342CQR’s DCI-P3 95% color coverage. It’s also only 165Hz vs 180Hz on the MSI (not a huge differenc

Monitor selection for sim racing

Watch out with these questions, the triple screen police will come.😉 I have an MSI MAG342CQR (also an UW34 1000R) for about 300, if you don’t care too much about OLED it could save a lot of money. Works great and looks good enough imo. But yeah OLED is nicer, if you can swing it that Samsung is a gr
