I have a PC on order from PC Specialist and I am looking at monitors to go with it.
It has the 3080 RTX graphics card so I would like the best options available to get the full use of the card. Ive looked at the Samsung G9, G7, Rog Strix XG438Q
LG Ultragear 38GL950G to name a few.
( Few other PC components, 3900X, Rog Strix 570F, 32GB Corsair Vengeance)
However, I have been a console gamer for many a year and have had Playstations from when they first came out so have the PS5 coming as well on launch day so in a ideal world I would like a monitor that is the best for both.
I would guess going with a monitor that will have HDMI 2.1 would be the best bet? but are any of these out yet?
I dont want to use my PS5 on my main TV that has 2.1, the TV tends to be on a lot when I'm gaming (football, NFL) so that's out of the question so I want to kill two birds with one stone and have a monitor for the PC and the PS5.
Would any of the above monitors be a good bet for the PS5? or would I be better holding out for some 2.1 HDMI monitors?
Currently I use a Viewsonic XG3220 monitor with my PS4 Pro so if I was holding out for 2.1 monitors this would have to do for the new PC as well for now. PC should arrive in around 2 weeks.
Thanks for any info, sorry about bringing consoles into the conversation but I really only want one monitor for both.
