The arc

Cassandra's setup

Cassandra uses a 2019-ish 1080p 60Hz monitor with an external power brick. She bought a $150 4K monitor from the office for $150 and wants to play indie games.

Elijah's setup

Elijah uses a 2014 TN 3D Vision monitor and a curved 1080p 75Hz monitor. He pitches building a racing sim to justify an upgrade.

Peter's setup

Peter's wife uses a 2014 TN 3D Vision monitor. Peter prioritizes a Leica camera over a monitor upgrade.

The verdict

All three setups are unfit for purpose. Cassandra needs high refresh for gaming, Elijah has mismatched refresh, and Peter's wife needs color accuracy for editing.

The prize

Cassandra wins the MSI MPG 322 URQ OLED X24, a 32-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED monitor with a three-year burn-in warranty.

The result

She tests the monitor with a 3060 GPU playing a game, noting the massive size and refresh rate improvement.
