Hey, I need to update my monitor and would like some recommendations. The PC I'm using are used both for work and gaming. Should I go for a 2560x1440 or a 1080p monitor if I want to target 120ish refresh rate?

The games I mostly play are Elite Dangerous, Microsoft Flight Simulator as well as BG3 and older titles

The demands I have for the monitor is low latency, high refresh rate, around 27 in size.

HW specs:

Radeon RX 6700

16 GB RAM

Ryzen 5 3600

The RAM and CPU is being upgraded around Christmas.

Thanks a lot in advance

How are you so much more efficient on one larger monitor vs. 2 combined? What sort of work benefits so much from such a seemingly irrelevant change?

I have no clue! It’s just a feeling. I think because of the lack of bezels and since it’s more like 1.75 monitors instead of 2, there is enough screen real estate for multiple windows, but I feel like I don’t have to move my mouse as far to go between them, if that makes any sense.
