What monitor do you currently use for PC gaming?

Acer XF270HUA - 1440p/144hz/IPS/FreeSync. 120+ FPS is worth it for sure - even if you can't hit it in every game, it's likely you'll be able to take advantage of it in older titles, and then there's the whole user experience factor just browsing the web and using the desktop.

I have a 2080 looking to replace my old dell ultrasharp, top of my list rn are the Pg279q and the lg gl850 but choosing between them is hard
Forget the exact model, but the 27" 1440p IPS 165hz G-Sync monitor from Asus, since it came out 3 or 4 years ago.
its been amazing.
I want that new HDR 34" ultra wide, but it's like $2,600 and yeah...

Same monitor but just replaced it with an AmazonBasics Premium Monitor arm as the default stand takes up a lot of desk space & heavy to boot.
alienware AW2518H 240hz 1080p 25" with g-stink
i replaced the terrible bulky alienware stand with a standard dell one though

Apple LED Cinema Display 27" 1440p. Yes I know it's dated and only 60Hz but I just love the glass aluminum build quality on this thing and it's one of the last Apple displays that works fine with PCs.
Plus most of my gaming is going to be in the Oculus Quest or HTC Vive Pro moving forward.

Literally exactly what I did lol, the regular stand not having tilt was super dumb
Acer Predator 1440p 144hz Gsync. I think it's 24 inches? 27?
And yes, it's worth it--especially with older games where you can run it flat-out 144 fps with all the settings maxed.

Acer Predator XB271HU
2560 x 1440 / IPS / G-Sync / 144 Hz and can overclock to 165 Hz
One of the best purchases I've made.

For those that have the Acer Predator 1440p IPS G-Sync monitor what did you do for color calibration? I'm okay with what I have right now but I feel like there is an even better setting to get colors to look more accurate and stuff like that. What contrast to use and all of that
At the moment I have a Dell S2716DG. 27" 144hz 1440p TN panel with Gsync.
Kind thinking on upgrading to a IPS or VA panel. I also have a Sony x930e 55" and everytime I play PC games on it game looks so much better that is hard to go back to my monitor and that's with out using HDR.
My dream would be a microled/oled ultrawide 144hz screen with no curve.

BenQ XL2411T / 1920x1080 / 144Hz / IPS
I think i'm going to change for a new monitor at 1440p with FreeSync and 144Hz on the next generation. 4K seems to be too greedy if I want continue to play some games at 144fps

55" LG C9 120HZ 4K OLED HDR GSYNC. I can't go back to traditional computer monitors unless they can make a comparible that's 50"+ that's less that $3000 and doesn't look like some angsty teenage from the early 2000's designed it.

Awesome montor. Won't upgrade to a ultrawide until its 1440p, 144hz, hdr, g-sync.

27" 2k@144hz Freesync + Gysync compatibility. I found it the best in its class.
I'm a maniac and saved up for an Acer Predator X27. 4K, 120 hz (144 hz OC), HDR1000.
Set me back $1600. Its phenomenal but I feel guilt for spending that much on a monitor daily lol.

MSI Optix Ultrawidescreen 34 inch 3440x1440p 144 hz. Using software g-sync via freesync. If you do software gsync, sometimes it can help to manually alter the freesync range via CRU so it does 40-144 instead of say 48-144.
Oh yeah, I also am using a 43 Inch Samsung 4k TV as a 2nd monitor / for console gaming. I think it is the Q60R or something like that.

Dell S2719DG.
I have 2 of them. The fact that it can rotate was another plus in my decision to buy them. Just in case I want to play some shmups or certain rhythm games.

Used to use a Sony x900e 55 inch 4k TV, but my setup has switched to a Samsung C32HG70 32inch 1440p 144hz g-sync compatible display.
Wanted the higher refresh rate for games, and less reflection for work and games during the day. 32 inches up close gives me the same effect as a big TV, though in future I might get an LG OLED display now that they support variable refresh rate.

The three displays I have for gaming:
1) 65" LG B7A OLED TV
2) 27" BenQ gaming monitor (I forget the exact model # but it's one of their budget brands aimed more at console gaming than PC gaming); 60Hz TN panel
3) 15.6" Razer Blade 15 Advanced (mid-2019); 1080p 240Hz -- no VRR (240Hz refreshes so fast that screen tearing has become outside of perception for me on this monitor, though I'm certain it's still occurring)
Yes, higher than 60Hz makes a difference in the look and feel of games that can run beyond 60fps. VRR can help stabilize frame delivery across all framerates. Both technologies are worth it in gaming, especially if you play on a PC right now. It is sounding possible that next gen consoles will leverage these technologies, too.
