I'm looking for a new monitor for Christmas. Does anyone have any recommendations, specific or not?

I was thinking OLED, 1440p (both screens I have rn are 1080p) (I'm not sure my computer would do well on 4k), but I'm having a hard time finding one that looks good.

Thanks, I'll check it out

Is this actually an OLED monitor? It's only mentioned in reviews and very little in the description, and it seems OLED monitors are usually more expensive. That being said, I use $ instead of £ so idk

Yeah, I was using amazon uk lol. In the second picture (https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CrFzglv3L._AC_SX425_.jpg) you can see that it says oled

Ok thanks. I figured it wasn't lying in reviews. I found one on MSI that looks good, but is more expensive. I trust MSI as a brand though (most of my family's computers are MSI) https://us-store.msi.com/MAG-271QPX-QD-OLED?utm_source=pricespider&utm_content=67324b41df8cc22682d57f07&CID=product&AID=_product

Yep MSI is a good brand afaik. And you’ll get a waranty, but if you do get a cheaper one, as long as it has free returns, it should be fine.
