Brehs. Best Widescreen set Gaming monitor out there? It would simplify things for me because I could also use it for work as a 'dual screen' setup in a widescreen form

We need more details. Budget, size, must have features.

Samsung and LG have some good monitors.

What resolution do you want? 1440p? 4k? 1080P?

Do you want built in audio for the monitors? Asking because if you're a headphone user or use a set of separate speakers could save money buying a screen without built in speakers.

Flat or curved widescreen?

If you play a lot of first person online shooters you want a screen with a high refresh rate and if you're more into single player games and work task the refresh rate isn't as important.

This. Speakers on monitors are always trash. So if audio is important, invest in some good speakers or headphone.

I use a 42' oled tv as a monitor. I can never go back to something smaller.

If he looking to save some money brands like Acers, and Sceptre all have affordable widescreen monitors.

Like you said just need more details because his budget, and computer use will determine what's best for him.

Getting some stutters in RE9

Playing at 4k on pc with an oc'd 9700x, 32gb cl30 6000 hynix RAM with some stock oc timings from my MSI motherboard bios, stock 5070ti, RT high, most settings high, all chromatic/ lens flare style settings disabled, dlss quality + 2x FG, display capped to 117. No PT.

Only seem to notice them during cutscenes but that might just be subconscious

Annoying because I don't want to spread the wallet for an x3d, especially for AAA at 4k, except maybe at AM5's end of life. Never noticed this in cp2077 either. Just a question of driver maturity??
