I'm currently using a 27-inch 144Hz IPS 1440p display and I'm considering upgrading my monitor to match my new setup with an RTX 5070Ti and a Ryzen 9800X3D. I'm trying to decide what type of monitor will give me the biggest improvement: should I go for an OLED, a 4K display, or maybe a 34-inch ultrawide? I have a feeling that a fast OLED might make the biggest difference, but I'm also aware that the 5070Ti might struggle with 4K performance. Additionally, I'm worried that a wide monitor might not be great for everyday use like web browsing, since it might be out of my line of sight quite often.

Honestly, your current display is pretty awesome for your build! You might not even need to upgrade until it really shows signs of wear. 4K doesn’t seem like a huge upgrade; have you considered OLED? It could be definitely worth it!
I recently got a 34-inch ultrawide OLED and I love it! The true blacks are amazing, especially in a dark room. If you're on the fence, buy one from a store with a good return policy in case it doesn't work for you.
Honestly, I think OLED is your best bet. You won’t give up on performance, and you’ll enjoy deeper blacks and vibrant colors. Plus, most 1440 OLED panels have 240Hz at least. Burn-in is a fear, but the latest models handle that well.
I’d definitely suggest a 3440x1440 ultrawide OLED display. I’m using a similar setup, and it balances visual quality and performance well. Just keep in mind that 4K might be too much for your 5070Ti for intense graphics. If you want to play graphically demanding games, stick to lower resolution ultrawides.
I’d steer clear of 4K right now. High FPS and refresh rates make a game so much more enjoyable, and your card will hold up better with lower resolutions. Plus, OLED at 1440p seems like a solid choice if you're itching to upgrade.
Yeah, I feel like upgrading to OLED is the way to go, especially with the improvements in burn-in resistance! It seems like you really get that immersive experience without losing performance.
