In the near future, I'm going to buy a PC built around the RTX 2080 TI GPU. It'll be used primarily for gaming. Needless to say, I'll need a new monitor to take advantage of the 2080 TI. Given the cost of the computer, I'd like to keep the monitor in the $600 range and would like advice on what characteristics to prioritize. I'd prefer a monitor 27" or larger. My first inclination was to go with a 4K monitor. While there are plenty below $600, all of these have a refresh rate of only 60 Hz. So, what's more important? 4K or a high refresh rate? (I assume QHD would be the logical alternative
Other questions:
1. How critical is it to have G-Synch? I've heard some Free Synch monitors are somewhat G-Synch compatible. Does this work out well? (I have noticed that G-Synch monitors cost more.)
2. What of ultra-wide and curved monitors? Is it worth it? (I have no prior experience with such monitors.) Does either feature work well with 27" screens or do those require 30+" screens? (I've noticed not as many G-Synch monitors in these categories.)
3. Anything I should try to avoid? Any brands that are notoriously unreliable?
4. Any recommendations on when to buy?
