need help picking a monitor

[thin fog]

can anyone give me some advice as to what monitor to chose? my current options are 27GR75Q-B UltraGear or 27GP850-B.AED?
in genereal my budget is max 290 euros ideally 1440p 165 hz ips

[river lagoon]

ultragear

[thin fog]

ah ok does the nano ips make a diffrence or is it irelevant comapared to normal ips?

[drifting shard]

Nano-ips is better

[river lagoon]

newer, and refresh rate are crisper

nano ips is lgs technology

[thin fog]

hmm both are Ultagear monitors so ill go with the 27GP850-B.AED then alright ty

[thin fog]

yeah after doing some research I hreaed that it has issues with activities outside of gaming hmm migh get the cheaper on then

[nova forge]

I am considering LG UltraGear 27GP850P myself. Will probably end up geting 4k version of it.

[thin fog]

I looked into some reviews and decided to order the 27GR75Q-B the other one had some interesting thisgs said about it im sure its good too but pepolesaid ouside of gaming the monitor has issues with video playback

[nova forge]

outside of gaming 1440p is underwhelming as all content defaults to 1080p.

[thin fog]

hmm now im unsure lol it is tecnically an older model though than the other one

[nova forge]

inovation in monitor technology is just for us, plebs that don't want to spend over $1000, to get old but still good stuff for cheap.

[thin fog]

so basically its older but better? hmm

[nova forge]

companies figure out ways to make same stuff cheaper over time. dont really mind the age as long as reviews are good.

[thin fog]

main reason I chose the cheaper one over this one is beacuse the reviews said it had contrast issues and cant show black very well

[nova forge]

ips glow... yea. technology limitation. I will still take IPS over VA.

[thin fog]

yeah both are ips just one is nano ips and

[nova forge]

my new monitor needs: 120Hz, 1440p/4k, IPS, true 8bit color panel, alright backlight uniformity, sub 3 delta E average, reasonable gamut coverage, 300 nits

and good OSD

so no acer or samsung

[thin fog]

yeah the one I chose 27GR75Q-B has it even if the pannel usses slighly worse tec

[nova forge]

ips vs nanoips is marketing bs

dont fall for it

[thin fog]

alright ty was the first time I had heared about nano ips that why I was unsure

[nova forge]

every monitor today, besides OLED, works in a way where there is a white(all colors)LED backlight that passes trough panel and that panel filters out unwanted colors

TN is old tech, we can do 480Hz with it, its cheap but has terrible viewing angles.

VA is evolution of TN - better contrast slightly better angles

[thin fog]

I looked at those but I noticed 90% of VA panels seem to be curved wich is interresting

[nova forge]

yes coz angles are so bad

they can make them good but that would add cost

[thin fog]

oh well makes sense also saw in reviwes that they have bad ghosting

[nova forge]

the technology itself can handle it.. but at that point its better to go IPS.

IPS/PLS/anything PS has wide view angles, great colors but has issues blocking light - cant turn screen black - there is always some backlight visible. we call that backlight bleed

manufacturers work around it by dimming backlight where it is supposed to be black - dimming zones

[thin fog]

ah that explains why my laptop has a bit of backbleed then

[nova forge]

current monitor meta is having millions of tiny white LEDs as a backlight shining trough an IPS/VA panel.

you can have thousands of individually dimmable areas that way and keep the IPS properties.

[thin fog]

interresting my current monitor is a shitty 2018 acer predetor that is limited to 60hz due to the dvi connector not existing on my new gpu and its blurry dont want to make that mistake again

[nova forge]

regarding the dimming. you can see that monitors have 2 contrast ratings. dynamic and static. static one is maximum contrast within that one dimming zone. dynamic is pitch black screen(dimming backlight at minimum) vs full brightness

and reason why there are variations of IPS like PLS is coz LG owns IPS branding.

tech is about the same

[thin fog]

hmm so im wondering can oled pannels turn of unneded pixels completly in an image when true black is needed?

[nova forge]

yes

[nova forge]

https://displayhdr.org/#tab-true-black-600

true black is only achievable by OLED or miniLED backlight.

[thin fog]

hmm so thats what makes them special then

[nova forge]

expensive aswell. unless you are a hardcore movie nerd anything hdr400 or even decent color gamut and pleasant backlight will do you plenty good.
