I think you should consider what GPU you are using before you decide on a 4K monitor though. In most cases, I would strongly recommend going for a 1440p monitor with high refresh rate, over a 4K monitor @ 60Hz. I use my 4K monitor only for watching movies or playing console games.

so to put in an another way , this is not the right time to get a 4K Monitor ? also I have a 6700 XT 12GB Vram

The RX 6700 XT is mainly targeting 1440p gaming. You can push it to run 4K, but depending on the game, it may not run well at higher graphical settings. I think you can check out reviews and see how it performs at 4K, before you decide buying a 4K monitor. You can run FSR in some games to boost performance, but as it stands now, not every game comes with FSR support.

I think it ultimately depends on you. Personally, my recommendation is to go with a good 1440p monitor with high refresh rate, i.e. 144 Hz. 4K tends to be taxing on GPUs, so unless you tend to chase after high end GPUs, otherwise I won't recommend it. Better to run with high graphical settings at a lower resolution, than to run a high resolution but with reduced graphical settings for me. FSR again will help, but that depends on whether the games you play support FSR.

4k only put to real use when u have a 55inch above tv .

Gaming in 4k is not that realistic too , for 27" to 45" monitor I really cannot see the diff between 1440p

I have this, bought on sale at qoo10 acer official store on sale for $407. This has a VA panel and colour for me is not as vibrant as IPS screen and viewing angle is not good as well. (I have a 27" 1440p IPS monitor beside it)

Good thing is the price that I got it for and I use it to watch Netflix and play ps5 games.

Hi! I have a 1440p monitor currently/ Looking to get a 4k monitor. If I use the 4k monitor to play games at 1440p or 1080p, would it be blurry? Looking to get the 32 inch 4k monitor from Dell.

No ,1440p is still very sharp as 4k in 32inch

for gaming, go for 1440p 21:9 34-38" with 120hz-144hz.

having tried 16:9 4K, will take 21:9 high refresh any day :o

This is true. I have a dual monitor setup, 1 is an ultrawide and other is a 4K monitor, but I rarely use the 4K monitor for gaming. It is only when I am watching shows or for work will I switch it on. I feel the 21:9 aspect ratio to be good for both work and gaming.

I think that depends on your budget. If a good monitor is on sale, I don't see the point of waiting. Trend with new monitors tend to be faster refresh rate, which I find is starting to get long in the tooth. Plus, manufacturers will expect us to pay more.
