I would look at an Ultrawide monitor if you have the space. Here are two different price point ones that are nice.

Oh I forgot to mention, I will literally play just warzone, everyone says that 27" is the sweet spot, but the 32" has 4k and 240hz

Truthfully IMO any game is better on an ultrawide monitor. The height is the same as a 27" you just have extra width (33% wider) so your viewing area is larger. The added width (21:9) means that could see an enemy on the side where as with a 16:9 monitor you wouldn't see them.

That is a valid point, I will keep that in mind, thank you

I have an ultrawide monitor and I love it. In fact everyone that I have ever spoken to that has one would never want to go back to a standard single or dual screen setup. Some older games don't support the aspect ratio so that just means I run the game at 2560x1440 instead, however, I haven't seen a newer game not support the aspect ratio.
