This is not only my work station but it's also where I play my video games.

Large screen monitors are getting very pricey: This guy is using a suitable TV instead
This was an interesting watch and brings home the fact that you should just consider what you are needing your screen for. TVs are certainly also getting better, but there is more to it than just HDMI ports, contrast ratios, and response times.
Weāve long been using our standard (and now pretty old) TV with HDMI ports as our media screen in the lounge, connected to a Linux computer. It works perfectly for that purpose. But weāre not playing high-end games on it.
But even for many gamers, MAYBE a TV could work fine. Given the price differences, it may be worth it. As it is, many say that the ultra-high refresh rates (or FPS) we are seeing on the latest monitors are just not good bang for the buck at all. It is unlikely the human eye is even perceiving much difference beyond 144Hz (I did a post about that in June 2023).
It is certainly something worth considering at least.

How Many FPS Can the Human Eye See? Read This if You Think Chasing Ever Higher Monitor Refresh Rates is the Best Option
How many FPS can the human eye see? Thatās a tough question because the human eye doesnāt really see in āframes per second,ā and everyoneās eyes are different. Weāll talk about the biology, but the real question is what the upper limit is when it comes to FPS on monitors. At what point do you stop noticing FPS increases?
In the end, for competitive gaming needs, itās worth getting a monitor with a refresh rate higher than 60Hzāthe higher, the better. Youāll begin to get diminishing returns past 144Hz, however, the only way to know for sure is to try out the monitor with the highest refresh rate that you can find!
Of course, monitors are also not just about refresh rates, so the resolution, brightness, contrast, etc also all play a role too.

I did not realise portable monitors were a thing: Best portable monitors in 2023 for laptops, smartphones, or tablets
To think, I had a second monitor for my laptop at my own office, and one at each of the two clients I spent time at during the week. Once you get used to working with two monitors, it is really difficult going back to a single monitor from a productivity point of view. So, I did not lug monitors around, but three were dedicated for my use when I could have just had one portable one.
These can also be useful as display units for a Raspberry Pi system as well.
Portable monitors are a great way to resolve this problem since theyāre more compact and easy to carry around. These smaller displays connect via USB-C and mini HDMI, meaning you can use them with almost any device, from the best gaming laptops to tablets, smartphones, and standard work laptops. Some monitors even come with their own batteries, so you can enjoy consistent productivity and media playback without impacting your laptopās battery.

What to look for in a gaming monitor: The specs that matter as it's a little more involved today with more choices adding cost
Yes, the costs rise quite sharply as you move away from the "old" 24" 1080p monitors. Now we have 1440P, 4K and even 8K with refresh rates up to 360Hz, and G-Sync or FreeSync adaptive sync options. There is true HDR and then also curved panels with different aspect ratios.
The article below is by no means exhaustive, but it gives some good pointers. Don't forget though about whether you want speakers on a monitor, a headphones/mic plug, the type of connectors, and of course ensuring it matches your computer's GPU card. And of course the issue of a multiple monitor setup vs an ultrawide screen. I still prefer my three monitors as I can play full-screen on one whilst having game maps and other info open on the other screens.
