Hi there!

I am looking into upgrading from my very old 10-12 year old monitor to something new and looking for recommendations..

My setup at the time I upgrade monitor will be:

MSI Geforce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Gaming X

Intel Core i9 9900K 3.6 GHz 16MB (OCed to 5Ghz)

Corsair Hydro H115i

Kingston HyperX DDR4 32B 2666MHz CL15

 

I am looking at this monitor and are wondering if you think this will be good for my P3D experience?

I know there are different monitor types like TN, VA, IPS etc. but im not sure which is best for Flight simming... My max budget is around 7-800$ and looking around a 27-32" monitor.

For me, high and smooth FPS in a high traffic/bad weather situation at Aerosofts London Heathrow is the biggest priority than immersion so anyone know of a good monitor for this, i am eternally grateful ❤️ 

 

Kind regards

Hi Araxxos,

It's always helpful if you state what country you live in. If the US there's a chap in Texas selling a BenQ PD3200U for £450 + shipping. I know it's not a curved monitor but it is a very high quality one. How do I know? Because I have the same model.

32" versus 27" but crucially it's 3840*2160 UHD so will look superb with your 1080Ti. He's selling it here.

Put it in your sig or profile then. That monitor you posted looks quite expensive for a 27". Are you sure you can't go bigger?

Will do! I can absolutely go 32". The one you mentioned is 850£ in Sweden though which is a bit high.. Don't really have use for 4K at the moment 🙂

I see that it is IPS type.. is that preferred?

@Araxxos, You can get 32" UHD monitors for less. The BenQ is high because it's certified to be colour accurate mainly for use by photographers.

Your 1080Ti can easily handle UHD. Mine is running around 50% load so there's plenty in reserve. Using lower resolutions with the 1080Ti is a waste of its potential really.

IPS is the best quality display but VA ones are also good. Avoid TN as they're the cheapest. Have a search around for 32" but the majority will probably be UHD as that's the sweet spot for them.  You could refine your choice starting here. https://www.displayninja.com/best-4k-monitor/
