Hi,

I'm planning to purchase a new monior, minimum 32 inches, must have DP and/or HDMI.
Noticed that there are lots of relatively cheap 60 Hz available, what's the minimum "good" Hz these days?

Any recommendations?

Pete:
Hi Per

I am pleased with the Dell p2222h monitor I bought a few months back so am happy to suggest Dell as a brand - possibly this may be of interest  https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/dell-32-4k-uhd-gaming-monitor-g3223q/apd/210-bdxs/monitors-monitor-accessories

The monitor and your display hardware will negotiate to offer a set of display resolutions. It's difficult to predict what that set might be. You may want to try several monitors with your hardware and buy the best one.

Dariusz Piatkowski:
Per,

What is the functionality you are specifically looking for, if any?

Here is what I mean:

1) if you want high-quality colour reproduction, you'd want something that covers a wide colour spectrum, there are specific ratings for this (CG, CIE1976 Colour Gamut, etc.), luminance or viewing angles

2) if you want a general 'home computing' display, I would suggest you look for something with a good contrast, wide viewing angle and good colour gamut

Refresh rate on the other hand, we are talking the gaming monitors type stuff is all tied to actual game FPS ratings and therefore things like response time become extremely important.

Per E. Johannessen:
The monitor will be used for gaming (Win) and office-apps (AOS) so most likely it will be a "gaming-monitor".
At the moment I'm using a Radeon RX 580 and it has worked fine for years with my 13 years old monitor, 27 inches, 60 Hz, 1920c1080.
This GPU is now showing signs of "giving up", so I'm going to replace both GPU and monitor.

However, I've just tried a Radeon RX 7800 XT with the same monitor and have some issues;
Sometimes when I switch on the pc I only get a black screen.
Other times I get to the Lenovo splash screen (and can enter BIOS) and after the splash screen it goes black.
And then there are times it boots ok, get to the Airboot menu and can boot AOS or Win.
If I reboot from AOS or Win I randomly get one of the above mentioned scenarios.

I bought new DP and HDMI cables, not cheap ones, and have the same result whether using DP or HDMI.
Any suggestions for quality cables?
