Im looking for a new monitor to buy but im not sure what to look for. Budget is $200-300. I mostly play Wow, Call of duty, league of legends, Destiny 2
My build:
GeForce GTX 1080
Intel ® Core ™ i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHx
What’s your current monitor? Do you have any preference for size, resolution, aspect ratio, etc?
Current monitor is samsung s22c300, i dont know much about monitors so im not sure what is important in looking for a good one
Office Depot has a LG 29" 29WK500-P ultra wide for $189.99.
Things like free sync/gsync, 144hz, low ms can factor in with what you want and will usually drive up the price but there’s alot of monitors coming out this year that look really good.
GTX 1080 can do 1400p pretty easily in this game.
8700 can do 144fps pretty easily also.
Biggest decision is chooseing between 1080p/144 and 1440/144
In most other games, a GTX 1080 won’t pull high refresh at 1440p, though.
Depends on your budget. A GTX 1080 will push 1440p still, definitely not max settings but it can game at 1440p. Also you tend to keep your monitor longer than your gpu so 1440p isn’t a bad idea. Unless you’re on a budget and 1080p 144hz is your only option.
Edit
I forgot we were still in shut down. These are the IPS monitors i was looking at for under $300.

If it’s not 32 inch 1440p, you’re missing out
oh You
32" is fine for a small bedroom, but at a desktop 24-27" is best. A pair of quality those works great for gaming/productivity.
If by “1440p” you mean 2560x1440, at 32" those pixels are gonna be brick-sized lol. 27" is the largest monitor that resolution can support, anything larger calls for at least 4k.
But I’ve seen 1440p used for referring to ultrawide resolutions too, in which case that’s often fine, but there’s a handful of ultrawides with brick-pixels too.

I’m running a 24" 1440p display and the density is tight
Nice. I’m a sucker for density, can’t wait for 5k to finally become the “standard” high DPI resolution for 27" monitors. 4k 27" is an awkward in-between.

I currently have the HP omen 32 inch 1440p freesync monitor, rated for 1440p
There are no brick size pixels it looks great for it being $250 on a black Friday sale
I also run 4k at 43 inches too and that’s still not brick size pixels either
Look at the video if you don’t believe me about the 32 inch monitor
i mean you do you but that’s too big to be right in front of your face for gaming imo

Eww only 75Hz on the HP. People on You’s favorite source (Reddit) also rip it for terrible input lag, colors, blurred movement, and frame skipping
I’m using a dirt cheap AOC 24" 1440p/144hz freesync/gsync TN panel.

It’s great for what I paid for it ($249)

Griefs, my night elf friend
You forgot to mention it only happens on Nvidia cards 
I’m pretty sure you were looking at this one
had a 1080ti at the time and the input lag was god awful. I decided to try freesync with a crappy RX560 and the difference was night and day.
Frame skips bad at 75hz on Nvidia.
It’s almost if this monitor was made for AMD cards only 
not to mention 3-4 year old feedback and the previous drivers from sometime last year fixed alot of freesync monitors for AMD cards, but he won’t look at that
Next he’ll start blaming monitor problems when someone uses a gsync monitor with AMD card
Good try to flame something without covering your tracks though
The 24 inch monitors I use at work literally want me to just get rid of them, way to small especially for 1440p like yours
And the monitor isn’t too big, don’t put your face up to it and it works fine
24" is perfect for triple display setup. The 1440p display It is not used at all for desktop/windows, it is for gaming only. My right display is a 1080p display and its perfect for its use.
This is what I use for my WFH situation. Center is for gaming, right is for browsing, left is for work connected to my laptop.
It would be impossible/terribly inconvenient to use larger displays for this application.
At triple setup yes a smaller monitor size would work
But if OP just runs a single monitor, then anything goes, I’m saying the 32 inch for single monitor isn’t bad as some claims
i suppose. but single monitor setups…can never personally go back to it.
if i didn’t wfh, i’d do dual 27s. since i do, triple 24s.
Which is what OP has, smart guy
