I’m considering upgrading my current 27-inch Samsung S27C570 Monitor and am wondering if:
…a SAMSUNG LC32JG56QQNXZA 32-Inch CJG56 144Hz Curved Gaming Monitor be too much monitor for my humble EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 with 8190 MB GDDR5X video memory?
I’m running on a 6+ year old MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate (MS-7850) motherboard; i7-4770K; Chipset Intel Haswell Rev. 06; Southbridge Intel Z87 Rev. C1
32 GB of DDR3 Dual Channel system memory; DRAM Frequency 933.5 MHz
Link to monitor under consideration:
I have a 27’’ curved 165hz monitor. If you want is the MSI Mag:

Is a relly nice high quality budget monitor! 
Depends on what else you’ll be doing on the system.
For MSFS the 144Hz refresh rate is overkill. If you’re also into (competitive) shooters, then it’s certainly worth it. Your system might also struggle a bit on 1440P in MSFS, especially the CPU and RAM.
Thank you for the advice… this machine only does MSFS and Run 8 train simulator; along with general web surfing when not flying. I am not wound around the 4K so much as I am the screen real estate. I’d be satisfied with the resolution and/or image quality akin to what my 27-inch monitor currently provides. I’m after a larger image 30-some inches from my face than I currently see.
I’m looking to get the larger image on a monitor that kinda future-proofs me until such time as I build another game box. I would compliment the larger primary screen (32-inch) with this existing 27-inch on the side.
There may be huge holes in my logic…
Thank you for the advice… I appreciate it. I am looking for more space and a larger image.
You linked a 1440P monitor though, not 4K?
See, that’s why I ask you guys… thank you! I didn’t know there was a difference. So, I’ve already eliminated 4K… good.
Now then, please apply what I said to the 1440p aspect of the monitor I linked to… in your opinion, do you think I can get by pushing that monitor with my paltry, legacy rig until I take the leap to upgrade the whole box?
I’m really not 100% sure, especially about your CPU/RAM. The GTX1080 should be able to handle 1440P (maybe with some settings dropped).
What FPS are you currently getting on 1080P? If you’re barely scraping by, then maybe not. If you’re getting 50FPS on 1080, you’ll likely have a playable experience on 1440P.
Cool… thank you. Yes, I am getting on average 50 FPS for most of my flights. Really dense, city cores (downtowns) may exhibit a drop to around 30 FPS, but rarely below that.

Should be ok then. Something to think about; if you’re only playing MSFS and train sim on the PC, do you really need a 144Hz monitor? I think you should be fine with a 60Hz one, can save some money that way.
Thank you for the suggestion… let me look around.
I’m just a typical consumer… more, higher numbers; higher specs=better product. 
Thank you, Mort! Just pulled the trigger on this one:
SAMSUNG 32-inch T55 Series - 1000R Curved Monitor: 75Hz, 4ms, 1080p (LC32T550FDNXZA)
I appreciate your help!
No worries, happy to help. Decided to stick with 1080p then?
Yes. The resolution is adequate and the image will be larger and easier to read. Win/Win.
Thank you
Whqd is fine but a 27" will be better, 32" will show “big” pixels. A 144Hz monitor is much better than 60Hz.
32-inch and 1920x1080 (full hd)? omg
very bad choice
Oh well… we shall SEE. You don’t know how bad my eyes are…
Thank you for all the support.
I was deciding on a new monitor very recently too (still haven’t bought it) but here is what I can tell you:
1080p in something bigger than 24" looks bad. Even if you don’t have 20/20 sight you will notice blurriness and the pixels everywhere as each pixel will be massive. Large computer monitors need the extra resolution because you tend to sit very close to them. A 32" 1080p like the one you mentioned is indeed a very bad choice.
If you only use FS2020 and a train simulator, stick with 60Hz. You know why higher refresh rates are needed? Because some less demanding games can easily push 100+ frames per second (FPS) and if your monitor is stuck at 60Hz, you will experience screen tearing and latency. There is no modern computer that can push FS2020 to triple-digit FPS. You will be wasting those 75Hz or 144Hz. High refresh rate monitors do look smoother but only if your system can take advantage of them. Most people I know with 144Hz monitors only enjoy fast website scrolling.
My advice and what I plan on doing? Get a 60Hz 4k monitor. You can adjust Windows’ text scaling for when you want to simply use a browser or read something and the nicest thing is that 4k is exactly 4 times as many pixels as a 1080p monitor, so you can still run FS2020 in 1080p and the pixels will scale perfectly. 1440p monitors are a weird middle-child as they will push your GTX1080 a bit beyond its comfort level and if you downscale to 1080p to extract a bit more performance, it’s an imperfect approximation and the games will look really bad/blurry.
A 60Hz 4k monitor, VA or IPS panel (stay away from TN), you can go as big as you want (30"+) and trust me you will be very happy with it.
Thank you. but I’ve already ordered this one:
SAMSUNG 32-inch T55 Series - 1000R Curved Monitor: 75Hz, 4ms, 1080p (LC32T550FDNXZA)
If I don’t like the resolution on it I can always revert back to my trusty 27-inch and use the new one elsewhere.
This is not correct, if a 144Hz monitor receive less fps it doubles the frames even if it doesn’t reach 144fps and the image is always smoother compared to a 60Hz or 75Hz monitor, this is because it also handles lower Vsync caps such as 30 FPS and 60 FPS, since they are multiples of 120 FPS.
Pls understand how this technology works.
