I did too. I'm on PS5 so its still a bit of a risk at the moment seeing that PS5 can't use online what Xbox Series X can, but I needed a monitor upgrade anyway. Bought the gigabyte M32u per @raesONE_PSN recommendation
You won't regret it. Make sure to update the firmware to f06 or higher though, it drops your input lag significantly. Be sure to check what firmware is installed out of the box because the difference is significant.

Will do. Any videos for setup you may recommend?

Dragon....you're going to love that monitor. I have it as well. Hook up a speaker system to it because the 3 watt speakers that come with it are just so so. The sounds of the game on a system is amazing.

I just followed Rtings recommendations, their review can be found here. Make sure that when you're using VRR or 120hz to set the overdrive setting to 'Picture Quality'. You can use it for 60hz content as well but it will have minor inverse ghosting (not a deal breaker to me at all, but everyone is different). If that bothers you, you can set the overdrive setting back to 'Off' whenever you play 60hz content. Everything else is just user preference, I use the 'Custom 1' picture setting which is basically the same as Standard and all I did was adjust brightness.

Hopefully you got one with hdmi 2.1 or you wasted your money
He can still play 120fps at 1080p, actually he is on Xbox he can play on 1440p too
-
only goes to 120hz anyway....the way to go is the LG OLED CX
-
I did the same. Got the Gigabyte M32U.

I should ask gigabyte for commission. LMAO

Lol. It's a nice way to go but if they wanted to just shell out another 150 to 200 the LG C1 oled is far worth it. Or wait and get that 42in C2.
Only thing that concerns me is the lack of bandwidth on HDMI 2.1 on that gigabyte monitor. It only uses yuv420 color at 4k 120. Probably not a big deal to most though.

You can't notice the bandwidth issue at all, unless you would use it for office purposes where you have to deal with a lot of text with different color patterns against different backgrounds. For gaming you don't notice it at all. And yeah the OLEDs are nice, I actually have 1 as my main TV but there are a few reasons I don't enjoy gaming on it. First would be the size, I used to game on PC so I'm more of a desk gamer than a couch gamer, the OLEDs are way too big for a desk. Second would be the burn in risks, a buddy of mine has suffered from it on his C1 and it's terrible. But yeah quality wise they sure are right up there.

Same here! The wifey and I are moving this Saturday and bought ourselves a new king too. That puts the expenses of a monitor or a console in a different perspective haha.

Yes there is definitely the size and ergonomics difference. Guess it just depends on setup and usage.

I think Alienware just released a 32" HDMI 2.1 OLED monitor, but it's gonna break the bank. Maybe the prices will come down a bit in a year or so, but there's no doubt in my mind that OLED technology is the future.
Edit: it is OLED but not HDMI 2.1. Costs about 1600$.

I am about to order an xbox series x and sell my ps5, but i am confused. I have an alienware monitor, so it wont play at 120hz because i dont have hdmi 2.1?

Didn't I explain this to you already yesterday? You can run 120hz even without HDMI 2.1.
