I like big screens nowadays as I no longer play online games that require super-fast response times. Besides, a 4K resolution only makes sense on screens that are
at least 32" in my opinion, though I'd personally still prefer 1440p on a 32" screen.
I'm generally not interested in ultrawide resolutions or curved screens.
I've waited a long time for the one screen to rule them all and after a long series of disappointing models and reviews, I have finally settled on the 43"
ASUS ROG PG43UQ (the UQ is not to be confused with the inferior 8Q model) back in the first CoVid spring of 2020.
It had almost all of the items from my personal wishlist: 4K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, certified G-Sync compatibility, 10-bit color and HDR 1000.
I'm very happy with this screen. Gaming feels very cinematic thanks to the sheer size of the thing. Like pretty much all huge displays, it isn't going to win any Speedy Gonzalez awards but it is plenty fast enough for offline games of all genres including fast-paced shooters.
The only disappointment, which probably is not directly related to the screen, is the HDR stuff. I have never been able to achieve good results with HDR. Quite a few games are even unstable (nVidia driver issues) with HDR enabled. The so called "Auto HDR" feature of Windows 11 is a huge disappointment as it does not work with this screen at all. The desktop image quality is still unacceptable with Auto HDR turned on.
I have stopped caring about HDR by now. It is too much hassle and too much fiddling required to get decent image quality and, quite frankly, the quality of the screen is excellent as is, so I'm not even sure why I would "need" HDR anyway. HDR is no longer a wishlist item for me. I won't pay any attention to it when purchasing future screens.
HDR aside, I'm a very happy camper. The image quality is great, 4K at 43" is perfect (no scaling past the default 125% in Windows required), 144Hz is great and G-Sync prevents tearing reliably.
I'm using nVidia's recommended control panel driver settings for G-Sync displays, i.e. V-Sync enabled in control panel (this prevents exceeding 144fps and thus leaving the G-Sync range) and V-Sync disabled in the game while Low Latency Mode = set to Ultra to minimize input lag.
The next big thing I'm looking forward to might be a 43" OLED (LG) or QD-OLED (Samsung) or micro LED screen whenever they become available and affordable (about €1500 max for me).
The only thing that I'd like to see improve over my current screen is response times. An even better image quality would be a nice bonus but I'm very happy as is because it's already awesome and much better than my previous LG 32" 1440p G-Sync display (32GK850G-B).
