While high-resolution monitors with a 4K or a 1440p screen can be great to look at thanks to all those pixels and the excellent pixel density, they can often be hard to drive especially for lower budget GPUs like those under $300 in modern AAA games.
If you are in the market looking for somehting that is a large display but offers 1080p resolution then the Samsung 32-Inch Odyssey G3 (G30D) is a great option and currently it is at a very good price, its lowest ever at just $160 (purchase link under the specs table down below). From a slight distance, this screen can still offer you very sharp and crisp visuals while not being too hard on your card to run.
Samsung uses a Vertical Alignment (VA) panel here, which compared to IPS, is more affordable but is not the best for long sessions of reading or going through loads of text or numbers. However where it can offer much better picture quality than a TN panel is in gaming or movies. So it is a nice middle ground between the two, tending moreso towards IPS.
Speaking of gaming, the monitor also includes AMD FreeSync, which syncs the panel’s refresh rate with your graphics card to cut down on tearing and stutter, within the screen"s adaptive sync range.
