Gaming Monitor - need help

Hi,
I want to start playing console games on a desktop monitor.

Console
-Xbox One X
Game
-PubG

Am i better off getting a 4k monitor or a 1440p monitor?

I’m looking to spend up to 700$ CAD
Thanks for your time and any recommendations.

 

This is just personal preference but for a gaming monitor I'll always go for refresh rate/fps over resolution.

1440p with a decent refresh rate and low response time would be my pick

 

Aren't consoles capped to 60 fps?

 

I believe so but the x console can go up to 120hz. I believe 4k will lower FPS on a console

 

1440p, 4k doesn't pan out too well.

 

I've narrowed it down to these two monitors: Can anyone provide insight?
Thanks

The Samsung is the nicer panel out of those two.

 

If you want to play competitive, lower the res , better is for your FOV. stay in 1080p.

4k monitors can easily get 60 fps on a ps4 pro or xbox one x if u have either one of those

 

Alienware 240 Hz is way to go. Goes on sale for super cheap all the time.

 

I have a Asus 144hz monitor.... It's the way to go for FPS games. If you play rpg or games that doesn't depend on high response you should go for high resolution ones

 

4K is waste of money. The list ranking from importance:

number 1) refresh rate. The biggest gamechanger when it comes to gaming hardware, this smoothness is what really makes a difference

2) Panel type. If you afford non-tn, non VA panel with 120hz +-then spend the money trust me, high refreshrate with TN panel is a shitty compromise. Outside of gaming such panels arent good for anything.

3) resolution. A good old 1920x1080 is good enough for most cases. Not really important factor while searching for gaming monitor

 

My RIG smooth af with this monitor.
