April 5, 20224 yr I just manage to break my monitor with the tip of a screwdriver. I was putting a new RAM mount together to hold my mini iPad mini to display ForeFlight. I dropped the mount and my arm shot out in a reflex action to catch it - I was holding a screwdriver that pierced the screen! My monitor was a 1440p 2K screen. When I purchased it I took the decision not to go with 4K to help maintain FPS. Now I need another monitor I was wondering if I should now go 4K for the quality, or even drop to 1080p to help with good FPS? I fly with most settings at ULTRA and can maintain a smooth 30fps at 2K - outside of large cities I can maintain 40FPS, but FPS limited to 30 gives me smooth performance everywhere at ULTRA. Obviously if I drop to 1080p I can maintain a higher base FPS but is the quality drop going to be too much? If I go up to 4K for the quality, I don't suppose I'm going to maintain a minimum of 30fps. What about HDR - is this a good upgrade for MSFS? My feeling is to probably stick to 1440p 2K. My current monitor is an IPS display, so the contrast ratio is pretty poor. I would love some suggestions for the perfect MSFS monitor now I HAVE to buy a new one! Oh, I have to stay with a 27-32inch non widescreen monitor due to space constraints.

April 5, 20224 yr That's real bad luck ... I have currently a 34' 3440x1440 curved screen which is fine for MSFS. Due to its curved style it may fit for you too. Otherewise I would go for 32' 4K screen and if possible vsynced. Your 2080Ti should manage this. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).

Hardware Unboxed on Youtube usually have sensible monitor reviews. I would check their playlist to see what Tim (He does the monitor reviews has reviewed) This is the latest 1440p roundup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9wfgJ-tgWM Theres another video with them ranking all the monitors they reviewed at the end of last year as well.

Thanks for the video link. I do like his style and the comprehensiveness of the reviews. After looking at the video I went with the 27 inch Samsung Odyssey G7. It is a mid range price, double the contrast ratio of my current monitor plus it dips its toes into HDR with an HDR600 accreditation. The recommended 1440p monitors were above what I wanted to spend but the G7 was within budget.
