2560x1440 @ 27" isn't much on typical distances and it's easy to see individual pixels. Text on high PPI displays such as retina Macbook just looks so much better.
4K is not any more or less "optimized" on PC than it is on consoles.
As others have pointed out, HDMI is a secondary interface on PC/Monitors. DisplayPort is generally the better choice. I even used DVI-D for 1080p120 instead of HDMI back then.
Nice setup. Out of curiosity, what desk is that? Been trying to shop around for a good desk lately.For anyone interested, this is what a 48" display looks like sitting ~48" away at a desktop. It's very doable, but you need to have some space. I don't think putting it on the desk is a good idea. Unless maybe you're tall enough (arm-level to eye-level) to overcome the on-desk height, and you happen to have a very deep desk.
As others have pointed out though, 4k120 isn't new for monitors. Not to mention there are other attractive options (Even higher refresh rates, Ultra-wide, etc.) or simply wanting 1440p120+ instead to prioritize performance even more.
Shopping for 1440p G-Sync monitors convinced me to buy the smallest TV that checks the same boxes. There just no way I'm going to justify (to myself) spending $1k+ on a monitor that's 27" when I could have a comparatively monstrous 48" OLED.
I would fucking cry. Maybe literally, as happy as that announcement would make me.

Thanks! Yeah that's generally what I'm looking for. I have an older style desk with drawers and such, which made sense years ago, but I don't need the storage and it blocks my chair from being pushed in all he way. Those ikea options are up my alley.Products

It's two of these side-by-side. You can pick out any legs you like. You may want to pick up one of their cable management attachments too. I also did a linseed oil finish on mine.
I really like a simple wood top with (any) legs over the more traditional desks with drawers. When I replace these I'll probably go to a local woodshop to do something similar.
just use an ultrawide aspect ratio/resolution on the 48CX and voila, you have a 38" OLED widescreen with 4:4:4 120hz 4k.
That looks sooo cool! May I ask which dac/amp you got there?
That screen has 107dpi, that's what we used forever now. It's just wider. I use a LG Ultrawide for work with 167 dpi and that's the absolute minimum for a nice and sharp image when you sit in front of it.
It's a RME ADI-2 DAC.
I mean sure, it's not going to look neat on a desk, but when playing a game, the experience is going to be almost identical.
OP has a point in that currently TVs cater more to 4k120hz gamers than PC monitors. Which is odd, because this type of content is basically just PC games plus the odd PS5/X1S game.
On PC? Most games support arbitrary resolutions and frame rates. People could play games at 4k120 or even 8k for years. The only limitation being performance (for modern titles) and bandwidth/hardware availability to actually display such resolutions.
Did you actually try an ultrawide aspect ratio on the CX? The CX is 20cm wider than a 34inch ultrawide and actually narrower than an oddysey g9. With black bars, you'd be moving your head about the same or less than on an ultrawide monitor.
