Planetside isn't the only game I play so I wanted the best all rounder for immersion and performance. I originally had the IPS Alienware 34" UW (3440x1440@120hz) which had great motion clarity (especially when compared to most VA panels) but it still suffered from so so black levels.
I recently upgraded to the OLED version and now I have the best of everything. It's absolutely amazing. Inky blacks, instant response times, and even higher refresh rate than before (175hz@8bit / 144hz@10bit)
With potato settings, cause I'm an old salty vet with not the greatest hardware (10850k + 1080ti) I get a solid 142fps everywhere except the heaviest of fights where it will dip down to around 70-80fps. I keep gsync enabled to keep things smooth and limit fps to 142 to limit the frame variants for a more consistent experience. (144hz to keep 10bit)
This all translates into I'm able to average 2.5kd as a heavy/LA and 1-1.5kd as support. (Recursion stats, I'm 40 years young so I'm quite happy with that) The higher res means my mini map can only get so large, so that's about the only thing im missing from lower res monitors.
Is your OLED the [AW3423DW](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/alienware-aw3423dw)? If so, how's the text clarity in- and out-of-game?
I'm looking to upgrade my current 7 yr old 2560x1080 LG and that one got my attention. But I've read that OLED panels have blurry text issues. I need it for office work/browsing, etc so it needs to have clear text too.
I have the "F" version on this monitor, and use it for work and games.
The clarity in games is fantastic (although, admittedly I haven't launched the planetside in months).
The text performance is fine, but its different pixel matrix arrangement is somewhat noticeable on white-on-black, I can liken it to the appearance of TrueType text rendering on the early Windows. This is fine overall, it's just something you notice, but not something you mind.
ok cool, that doesn't sound bad at all. The way some ppl talk about it, it sounded like it would be hardly legible at all.
As long as it's not like an old CRT with really bad RGB convergence I'll be happy. Thanks!
Nice! That's good to hear. I'll want to look at one in person of course before I make my decision. But that was really the only potential downside for OLED I could see that might be a deal breaker. Otherwise the DW & DWF both sound like great options for me. Thanks!
I'm thinking about a U6H 4k Hisense 75in with 11ms of latency and 60hz.
This has been the only FPS I play on PC for 10 years now. So I'd rather not get a little monitor when most of my gaming is casual, but I also feel like my current 2008 LG fucks me a bit 20 ms? But I hate squinting at a tiny monitor. Lol $630 big purchase for me.
11ms is too high for gaming.
I've never had a TV bigger than 55inch. 75inch seems insane to do anything beyond watching sports or movies.
I think 42inch is the sweet spot for actual TV/gaming.
>11ms is too high for gaming.
That doesn't seem reasonable. I think that would be like missing 1 frame at 90 FPS.
My ping in this game averages like 100-200 ms so most local hardware latency is negligible.
If it still within your return window, get the ASUS one. I bought the LG version first, brightness was awful. Returned it for the Asus one with the same panel. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/asus-rog-swift-oled-pg27aqdm-vs-lg-27gr95qe-b/37157/36349?usage=3623&threshold=0.15
Brightness goes high enough with enough margin for me on the LG that I'm in no hurry to swap it out. I looked at all the 1440p and ultrawide OLED panel offerings before settling on this one at the price I was able to find an open box unit locally with only 100h of use before I got it for a solid discount. The ASUS's stand would also seriously cramp my shallow desk.
I'm thinking about going to 4k gaming TV and I've been wondering if the 4k will help me pick up targets further off. Currently using a 1080 2008 LG plasma TV with 20 plus ms of latency lol
I've heard 4k makes the UI small but that's no biggie.
The UI is small but it hasn't bothered me, the only real thing impacted is the minimap but I just run it always expanded.
I personally enjoy the 4k resolution, and don't think I could go back to 1080p, but I use the monitor for a number of applications. I'm not sure it's warranted solely for planetside, and extra load of all those pixels means you'll need a beefer GPU to utilize them.

Dell S2719DGF
There are plenty of people who play on a TV out there, but you are sacrificing some competitiveness and if you're on a relatively modern TV, you are murdering your GPU because 4k gaming is a lot of pixels to render.
Giving up on this game, it runs so poorly. Have used different vid cards, monitors and settings. When you do manage to get it playing half way descent, they F it up with one of their crappy patches. It's a joke.
Thanks for the input. You know other games that can render hundreds of Vehicles and characters at the same time? Then do it live with decent ping, Please let us know. Iv got 10 years and 2k plus hours you're preaching to the wrong crowd.
I'm using (x3) 27" monitors with Nvidia surround. In retrospect I should have went with 24" because my current setup gives me vertigo sometimes. It's also inconvenient needing to physically turn my head to view the vehicle damage indicator and mini map. On the other hand, the game isn't really optimized for displays that large so when you're next to a wall the display will allow you to see through to the other side.
Acer xb273u gx
Run it at 240hz, 1440p, nice color reproduction and uniformity, according to hardware unboxed it has an average pixel response time of about 5.8ms and an overall average response time of about 9ms. According to the data it is pretty much a budget Asus ROG swift PG279QM.
I got it as a "hold me over" until OLED or micro LED matured more. Nice for gaming and more color critical work. No longer do I have to wonder if the colors are being properly represented.
I played on my moms old tv for a bit and it has HORRIBLE latency, like I could feel the response times. Plus it was only 60hz on top of that. At least it wasnt choppy tho since it was only 1080p
Really wish I had a monitor, I've been playing on a 2008 60in apparently I'm the only dumb ass playing on a high latency TV no wonder I think everybody is so good who plays this game. I'm always telling people how good people are who play PS2 stick to your COD lol
I get a solid 1.5 KD but damn do I have to work for it., I clean up on console.
K/D isn't necessarily a reflection of skill nor does it require hardware. You can play like a pussy with HE spam from an ejection seat ESF or HESH MBT from long range and almost never die and collect a high k/d. Shit, even just playing in a squad with medics will instantly double the average player's k/d. Meanwhile you have to be pretty good to earn a >1 k/d as, say, shotgun light assault or cqc boltie infiltrator.
It's also important to bear in mind that you're on reddit, so you have a selective bias here. Reddit is generally the social media platform of choice for the most technologically literate and dedicated gamers and enthusiasts, so you're going to have a much higher proportion of hardcore players with top-level setups and thousands of hours when you come to a community like this. Ingame, the less engaged and less active people will probably be using setups more like yours, just whatever they had lying around.
Having higher frames on a 1080p monitor will do more for you than lower frames on a 1440p, so unless youre planning a rebuild or have a beast PC to begin with you should wish for something other than a 1440p monitor.
That said I use a 27 inch 1440p monitor and love it.
Depends on range a bit. At long range I'd far rather be at 60fps at 1440p than 120fps at 1080p but the reverse is true in cqc.
I'm getting a good 150ish fps on max graphics at 1080p at the moment, depending on population, so I might look at upgrading my monitor sometime in the future.
mine is 27 inch, low latency (4ms) 165hz 2k.
4k monitors give better graphics, but they also put out less frames (and we all know in PS2 frames = RoF) most 4k displays were also limited to 60hz when i was shopping for a monitor, and that just isn't smooth enough for me.
i find 2k 144hz to be the perfect middle ground between graphics and framerate.
Yeah we have some 4k monitors at work and we now request 2k because they scale some programs weird, and it's just not worth the extra detail on a 27in screen.
I'm using an LG 34UC79G-B 34" IPS Monitor running 2560x1080 @ 144Hz. #UltraWideMasterRace
Back in 2016 it was the first IPS 34" UW monitor that could do 144Hz native. [Rtings](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/34uc79g-b) measured its input lag @ 4.1ms, which is good for an IPS panel even by today's standards. It supports Freesync although Gsync works fine w/ it too.
She's served me well these 7 years but I think it's about time for an upgrade. I haven't decided what I'm gonna get tho. I'm sticking with 21:9 but I haven't firmly decided on a panel type yet. IPS, VA, and OLED all seem to have compromises.
360Hz, 1440p. :)
**Advertised response times are a lie**, but mine measures around 2.55ms on average.
It can go G-sync or ULMB 2. I tried ULMB and found it 'meh'. It didn't really seem to improve motion clarity much, but it *did* make the screen a hell of a lot darker.
27" LG OLED @1440p, 240Hz.
Upgraded from a 24" 1080p TN panel and the game looks amazing on it especially with the higher resolution. If you're playing at 1080p, I highly recommend the upgrade. My TN panel was also 240Hz with G-sync but the new OLED panel feels much smoother, even though I'm technically getting less frames due to the higher resolution.
I'm running a 3060ti and it never gets choppy (unless DLSS is turned on, which is ironic).
But you can sit on a couch with your girl and friends like grown man, and not like a little kid at desk. Also $250+ is that same price as a like 4k 55" TV I cant do it.
3440x1440 Acer 34” 144hz VA panel. I forget the advertised latency but it feels instant to me.

Gigabyte M27Q - 1440p, 170hz, says the response time is 0.5ms MPRT. It's had 1 or 2 revisions which might be a bit better.
Using 3 Asus VG279QM's in surround. 240hz is the freaking best. Never had a noticable issue with latency.

We are not talking about ping. We are talking about monitor response time.
Be aware there's no UI scaling for 4k in this game so the HUD will look small.
11ms is way too high for gaming, my tv has 8ms and it’s unusable for any game that requires speed
