I have 2 computers:

- Desktop with NVidia 3070Ti, Windows
- Laptop with AMD 600M integrated, Linux

I'd like to get a new monitor that supports both VRR (Gsync/Freesync) and HDR on both these machines (or if I can't support both with 1 monitor, the Desktop).

Price matters to me but "quality" kinda doesn't (my eyesight sucks & I prefer 1080p over hidpi, hidpi is glitchy). I just want HDR/VRR and for it to not be terrible.

What would you recommend, or where would you recommend I start looking?

@mcc@mastodon.social if you in the 27”+ range at least consider QHD (1440p) the pixel density of 1080p falls apart at that size and bumping up one notch makes a real difference in cleaning up text and things. I’ve been really happy with https://www.rtings.com/monitor testing and info as a guide to models.

@BabblingGeek@infosec.exchange I'd prefer a smaller monitor rather than going up to 1440p. I don't know if I can go for a smaller monitor while still getting the premium features. Thanks for the link.

@mcc@mastodon.social at the end of the day it all comes down to PPD. https://qasimk.io/screen-ppd/ push it too high and you won’t see it, push it too low and you get those giant CRTs at 480p where you could clearly see the pixels.
