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

You building a PC?
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??

I'd love to, but at these mafia prices? Nahhhdouble up
I'm so glad I bought my insane OriginPC last year. It cost me a pretty penny, but it's probably a lot more now. The 6090 is next year. The water cooled 5090 I have now obliterates games at 4Kx2 (if they have DLSS). DLSS has been the best thing to happen to games in like 5 years.
PC gaming is like on life-support after the AI data centers became the priority. It's priced things outta the world. We'll see what happens next year, but PC gaming is gonna be a $5k+ realm to get a good setup. I paid $11K for my setup, but it'll be good for a year or more. I'll just replace my 5090 with a 6090. With a $750 PS5 Pro, it almost makes sense to go console over PC. But then you're stuck at 16:9, 60fps, low ray-tracing, etc. PC gaming is still the premier way to play, but the PS5 Pro is crazy for the "low" price. At this point in time, if you're just starting out, I'd say get a PS5 pro. It's just so much cheaper

Im bout to build me a new custom controller for fighting games on pc. Dont know if I should do an arcade fight stick or go leverless like a hitbox
Even tho my 8700k/3080 has fallen into upper-mid territory, it’s still better than the consoles, but getting the P5 Pro is the first time I haven’t been 100% on which platform I was getting games 
. RE9 is already the first RE I bought on console since 5, and now I’m thinking I might go that direction for Crimson Desert.
I know I’m not touching any new components until all this AI and memory shyt dies down, and the console is a more comfortable set up for me to lounge for a couple hrs

I personally get most single player games on console because I like playing on my TV and the console experience. I've had my PC set to display through my TV and used a controller with steam but it still just didn't hit the same as gaming on a console, plus PlayStation used to have a ton of great exclusives (looks like they're pivoting back to that instead of PC releases).
I use my PC mostly for online gaming / FPS / RTS type games
