3 Monitor Setup Recommendations

    Updating my two monitor setup to a three monitor setup. Currently running a 24”, 1080p, 75hz SCEPTRE monitor (F24) I got for free. A Samsung editing monitor 28”, 4K, 60hz, I bought three years ago (UR55). 

    The idea is to have a gaming, editing, and entertainment setup that has a large 32 inch main Hybrid screen for work, movies, and youtube. Then flanked by two 27-28in monitors with the left being Gaming focused and the right video & photo Editing focused.

    The Hybrid should game (4K fps/hz 120+) and edit (decent DCI-P3/8Bit) decently. Then a Gaming focused monitor (high fps/hz 144+) and the Editing monitor (high DCI-P3/10Bit).

    Examples: 

    * LG UltraGear 32GR93U Hybrid (4K, 144hz, 90% P3, 8bit+FRC) ($600)
    * (MSI G321CU [4K, 144hz, 90% P3, 8bit+FRC] downsides [curved & VA panel]) ($420)
    * (MSI Optix MPG321UR-QD [4K, 144hz, 97% P3,10bit]) ($650)
    * (ASUS PG32UQR [4K, 144hz, 98% P3, 10bit]) ($600)

    * Gigabyte M27U Gaming (4K, HDR, 160hz, 95% P3, 8bit+FRC) ($470)
    * (AOC U27G3X [4K, 160hz, 94% adobe rgb, 8bit+FRC]) ($470)
    * (Gigabyte M27U 27 [4K, 160hz, 95% P3, 8bit+FRC]) ($470)

    * ASUS Pro Art PA279CRV Editing (4K, 60hz, 99% P3, 10bit, Delta 2) ($445)
    * (BenQ DesignVue PD2705U [4K, 60hz, 99% Rec709/srgb, 10bit, Delta 3]) ($500)
    * (LG UltraFine 27UQ850V-W [4K, 60hz, 98% P3, 10bit ] ($600)

    Questions:

    Which Model is the best for each category?

    Should I go all three 32 inch?

    How important is 10 Bit and DCIP for editing?

    Should the editing monitor have more than 60hz for editing video?

    How important is 10 Bit outside of editing, for watching movies?

    How good is OLED? Is it worth it?
