I would at least definitely recommend going some form of OLEd given the price of your system.

First of all, going oled on a monitor is a great choice but you might need to learn how to take good care of it.

Parent context: Hey man! I am currently using the Samsung G61SD and considering switching to the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG Reply: In SDR, though, I’m really impressed with the ASUS, especially the brightness, clarity and overall picture quality. The glossy coating hasn’t bothered me at all.

I really want to upgrade to a top-of-the-line QD-OLED gaming monitor. I’m looking at something like... an LG UltraGear

I had the 1080 p variant of that LG ultragear when both these released years ago. Amazing monitors.
