I always used to think 27" 1440p high refresh was the sweet spot for me after tomorrow my first one from South Korea around 2012 or 2013, so the new 360hz OLED models would have been my dream answer even just a few years ago, but I am not so sure anymore.
I remember also really liking 21.5" 1080p on a glass panel, it had that perfect crispness to the picture, and the glass made the colors pop extra nice, but going to 23.8" or higher at 1080p just ruined it for me, just slightly more pixelated than I like.
Fast forward to today and I have experienced a variety of monitors, and I was intrigued initially by the 32" 4k 240hz OLED that converts to 480hz 1080p, but after watching Optimum Tech's video on it (link below), even though he really likes it, I'm just not sure its for me honestly. I remember many years ago I experienced a 29" 200hz 2560x1080 VA panel, other than the black smearing it was really impressive and I enjoyed gaming on it.
I think my new dream gaming monitor is a 29" OLED 240hz+ 2560x1080 display. I think that is the sweet spot for me, as I would prefer to hit 200+ frames in even AAA single player games for the enhanced immersion (60hz is fine for some people and nothing wrong with that, I don't mind 60hz on my Steam Deck). Sadly this resolution has been abandoned I think by modern monitor makers. I guess with upscaling 34" 1440 wouldn't be the end of the world, so I could do one of those 240hz OLED's next year. I also really like the 800p screen on the Deck LCD and OLED, they are decent experiences.
What are your opinions on the best monitor form factor/ration for immersive gaming? Everyone likes different things, no answer is right here, I am just curious. Personally, I kind of like that extra immersion ultra wide gives, slowly but surely it kind of won me over. I didn't think this was the route I would eventually go later this year or next year, but I am leaning more and more that way, especially if WOLED panels come. I think I would still prefer 29" 2560x1080 OLED, but I don't see that ever happening sadly.
