I am building a new PC this month, with the following basic specs:
7700k
GTX 1080
16GB DDR4-3000
M.2 SSD + Regular SSD storage
Right now I have a 30" 2560x1600 Dell 10-bit IPS panel (3011 - for photo editing) that is locked at 60fps. While 1440p would be a very slight downgrade in resolution, it would also allow me to up my refresh rate game and get something that is gsync-capable. My build will be more than enough for that, I know, but is it worth jumping to 4k at the same time? I honestly think I would need to upgrade my gpu in another year or two to really handle 4k at decent frame rates for newer games, so would it even be worth it?
I have been out of the monitor game for a long time, so forgive my ignorance! I don't even know a good place to start looking for 27"-30" panels with these features, these days! Eventually I'd like to make the jump to HDR, but it's too expensive at this point, I think.
It seems to me that there are now a bunch of different checkboxes to fill out, and I don't know which are most important:
- resolution
- refresh rate
- gsync/freesync
- IPS/TN
- OLED
- Curved
- Ultrawide
- HDR
I feel lost!
