Must be using the same panel as this monitor which i am looking at upgrading my 24'' to maybe

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160349&Description=1440p monitor&cm_re=1440p_monitor-_-24-160-349-_-Product

Its a AOC but practically sounds like it has your same panel,i had a friend with one of these and yeah it appeared perfect for desktop usage.I keep hearing how 4k under 43'' is almost unsable at a close distance as i sit 3 feet away from my current monitor.Only issue is will i be willing to give up 144hz? Just my older games hold 144fps at the moment anyways but 75hz has to be some improvement from 60hz which i have been on like forever outside of my crt days lol.

Um, no don't think so. That's a 1440p where's mine is 4k. If my memory serves me correctly, BenQ bought up an actual panel manufacturer who had their own proprietary revision of IPS which was faster than any other IPS at the time. And BenQ used that exclusively in their own monitors and didn't licence the tech to anyone else. I think there's more 4ms IPS panel manufacturers these days though as this was quite some time ago now.

Whether it's usable depends on your vision/eyesight, how far you sit from your monitor on average and things like the PPI and scaling used. I deliberately went for a larger 32" 4k monitor because it was right on the border for me personally where it was usable in native 4k without any kind of PPI scaling, but then I have reasonably good vision and dont sit too far from my screens.

I use 4k on 27" at work and they're really too small to use in native 4k without some kind of scaling, I currently use 150% scaling to make it more usable. For me 32" is the sweet spot because if you go much bigger than that you start to get lower PPI which for gaming isn't good, it means easier to spot jaggies.
 
27" 1440p 165hz. I was thinking about grabbing an ultrawide but couldn't decide between 1440 or 4K which would cost a pretty penny. Overall pretty happy with my decision and compromise, rather have high fps which is fantastic and made a much bigger difference for gameplay.
 
I usually play on a 1080p projector, 106 inches. 4K would be nice, but, way too much $$$ for both the projector & upgraded video card.
 
The OP should have made this into a poll. I'm guessing that 1080p/1200p 23"/24" displays are still the most common with 27"/30" 1440p/1600p ones not far behind.

Would this be correct?
 
I use the 32" 4k monitor in my signature, and my spare gamer is a 2560 x 1080 ultrawidwe which I don't really like. I'd like a 4k display @ 120hz around 36" or so, but all of the new 4k/120hz monitors that were supposed to come out this fall aren't showing up.
 
I have a single LG 27" monitor that I really like. It works great and the only thing I'd consider replacing it with is a bigger monitor (maybe 30"), but I'm definitely in no hurry to do so.

Got the above 27'' 1440p panel for $220 shipped on a sale a few days ago.Pretty hyped to get it.My 1070ti is pretty overkill for 1080p and after fiddling with various panels recently i think for a while this one will hold me over.

Great get. That monitor is on my watch list. I need to pull the trigger soon so I have something to open on Christmas morning..... Where did you get it for $220?
 
The wife is now playing on a 55inch tv, it supports 4k, but shes just playing at 1080p. Looks quite good. I think these days, a big LCD makes more sense then a projector. Im impressed.
