I dont know much about panels either but costco has a few 32" 144mhs 1440p ones like this...
The main thing I can tell you is that 32“ will almost always be a VA panel and curved. Curved isn't a feature, it's a necessity due to VA viewing angles being poor.
With VA, you need to be careful with blurring and ghosting.
I would load up hardware unboxed on youtube and look at their VA panel reviews from the past year. They do a good job of explaining the actual performance of these displays.

Either way its like $100 cheaper. Not sure youre gonna find a 1440p panel 32" with 144mhz+ for cheaper.

I mean, with as little as you know about display tech, I feel like you're also gonna be blown away in love with any of these upgrades you get. I ain't saying it's a bad thing to learn but that display from Costco will kick ass as far as you're concerned.

Well these now officially exist.
If only I had a new Nvidia card to go with them.

The 38" one seems to be the same panel as the LG UltraGear 38GN950-B. I'd go with the LG, as they are manufacturing the displays.

I dunno, I really like G-Sync. I'd be buying one of these right now if I was for sure going to get an Nvidia card.

For the past three years I have been using a Samsung 40" 4k tv as a pc monitor. Looks fine to me but it won't go above 60hz even though the specs on the monitor say 120hz (I think that is some kind of bullshit fantasy spec the justify by doubling framerate or something, not a real world possibility) and that hasn't been a problem because I've been using an Nvidia 980ti for years.
I just upgraded to a new Nvidia card and would like to get a monitor that wasn't locked to 60 fps max. But I also am pretty used to the 40" size. I doubt I can have both, is there a compromise that doesn't cost a ton of cash?
And if the answer is just to suck it up for another year or two and wait for new developments, that is fine too.

Alright I did some reading and it looks like any 4k tv is going to need hdmi 2.1 in order to pass 4k at 120hz, the issue is that most tv's that have this are huge and I want a smaller one. I found this that looks like it would be good for pc gaming now I need to see if I even have room to go from a 40 to a 49.
