Best Gaming Monitor for WoW

Hey all! I’m in the market for 3 new monitors for my gaming setup and looking for advice on the best one to get! Preferably would like to have one curved monitor in the middle and 2 flat on the left and right side. Any advice would be great!

Edit: They will be placed on mounts

Multiple 1080 27 inch monitors were my setup on BFA (2017). In Dragonflight, I started 4K OLED at Windows 10. TWW on Windows 11 on the same 4K OLED is amazingly beautiful. It pushes my GPU to its limit but it’s crispy sharp vivid picture is the best I’ve seen.

To me 4K is best on big screen. Look at 4k and 8K on your cellphone, you cant appreciate it becoz it’s too small. Bring that 4k or 8K on 55 inch to 77 inch OLEDs, it looks amazing.

I am playing WoW on 55 inch LG OLED. First, it was hard to get used to it but eventually, I was able to grasp it. I did KSM/AoTC with it. Also destroyed Uber Lilith on D4, a fast pace action packed fight. The best thing is… it looks great.

Compare 1080, 1280p and 4K. See for yourself.

But the having a monitor and PC hardware at 4K resolution would be expensive.

Yup, your setup is more ideal for PC gaming. But I dont appreciate 4K on a small screen. 1080 are fine for small screens. I think 1280 is enough for 32 inches.

If Playstation and Xbox players enjoy their game on 70 inch TVs, I want PC gaming too on a large screen. But it seems 70 inch is too big. 55 inch would do for me. :slight_smile:

One that works.

Yes, and I have 3 monitors that are all in the 28-32in range, but I mainly play most games on the curved one, idk why, I just prefer it

is it the freesync one? theres a couple options im looking at

Yes! the 4k UHD Freesync Curved is what I use

I would suggest you an Ultra-wide QHD 34’ screen, with 165hz refresh rate at a 2k resolution.

Freesync if you have an AMD GPU, around ~350 bucks
Native G-Sync (dont get g-sync “compatible” ones) if you have a NVIDIA GPU, around ~800 bucks (cause nvidia native g-sync is yeah)

For the other two, simple 24’ 1080p screens are plenty enough, get those at ~150 bucks without any exquisite features as they are only for web and desktop uses.

~1200 bucks and you’re good to go

I can’t recommend going for cheap brands. I would recommend either LG Ultragear or Samsung odyssey for your main screen. I use the LG Ultragear 34’ Native G-Sync 165hz turbo, and let me say that thing is oof solid

I’m farsighted so I’m playing on a 48" LG “Ultragear” monitor. I had a 43" TV from the mid 2000s and finally upgraded. It does take a little getting used to but I don’t know that I would recommend it over something like a 32" for a computer desk setup. Depending on how close you are to the monitor(s) 27" to 32" could be perfect. If you run it at 1440p instead of 4k and use fsr you won’t be able to see the difference and you’ll get more fps. With a very large monitor you will be able to see the blurry. I am able to run at ~ 91% scaled and use FSR to get it to 4k and can’t see the difference with the big monitor and got some extra fps.

even smaller one is fine but I recommend LG OLEDs as well, and I use 3 of them and the set up is really cool. trust me, LG the best displays.

FREE? is the best of the best!! :sparkling_heart: ( I like FREE stuffs)
lucky that you got a good ex… but why ex ( such nice person i guess)

Try to see it on OLEDs, that’s where 4K shines. OLEDs are more vibrant and sharper.

Few questions.

1 - what GPU do you use.
2- what is the fps you are targeting.

Cannot help without knowing the gear you have.

Go up to at least an ultra wide for your main monitor. WoW and many other games adapt incredibly to the wider aspect ratio, giving you a huge gameplay advantage.

2 - all the frames! lol, kidding, looking for a smooth ride

Go for MSI 34 ultra wide.

3400 but almost close to 4K

I used it for a year on a 4090. I get stable 144 outside raid.

In raid I have set to 75 fps.

I upgraded to 43 4K now.

MSI is really the cheapest hd ultra wide in the market.

Check this video. He has some great suggestions.

I would really look into the MSI. I suggested you. I used it for more than a year. And wow looks amazing on that. Mind you if you are streaming you need 10.9 aspect. Ultra wide is 21.9
