If it’s in budget and you plan on upgrading then it’s not a bad idea! Personally I’d follow this priority for a monitor:

  1. 120Hz+
  2. GSync support
  3. Resolution
  4. Panel type
  5. HDR

Figure out what’s important to you and try and find something that ticks as many of your boxes as possible 🙂

Two things this will depend on - what are your system specs, and what games do you play.

If you’re on a mid/low end setup you’re not likely to be able to drive games at 4k, so go with the 1080p one. If you’re on a high end rig then 4k may make more sense.

Second thing is the games. If you mainly play esports titles that have low system requirements, you’ll be able to take advantage of more frames. If you play AAA/“cinematic” titles then 4k will be better.

Honestly though, my preference is 1440p at 120-144Hz. It’s a good sweet spot, just look for GSync support. Decent HDR is a bonus too.

Been playing a few recently.

SNKRX is a pretty fun arena roguelike. It doesn’t do a great job of explaining the mechanics, but it’s worth persevering and working it out.

Ridiculous Fishing Ex is just great. I played the original version to death, love having it back.

Kingdom Two Crowns I’m just getting started with. Seems interesting so far but not sure where it’s going.

Just finished season 3 of Righteous Gemstones and season 2 of Good Omens. Both great I thought - Righteous Gemstones was better than expected.

Good Omens was as good as I’d hoped - difficult to go too far wrong with Michael Sheen and David Tennant!

The Richie episode was so great. Huge smile on my face at the end of that one!

Nat’s What I Reckon if you want a sweary Australian delivering recipes with a good amount of comedy!

Ah that’s great! My main worry with it was that there’d just be those 11 missions and there’d be a lot of replaying, 5 chapters sounds like a really solid amount of content though.

I've never played an AC game, but a huge fan of the Souls games. I'm not sure what to make of this - but I have a lot of trust in From, so I'll almost certainly pick it up.

I like how complex it looks, and the bosses look crazy. From Vaati's video it looked like there were 11 missions though... does anyone know if it's just those plus the arena? I don't typically replay games once I've finished them (game time is limited)!

Yeah it does, but I wouldn't say it's the main attraction. It's good, but I wouldn't call it story driven.

Hades deserves to be in this list if you've not played it.
