Seems good, it's either that or the MSI mag274qrf qd
It's just that the MSI is the equivalent of 60usd more expensive here. Not sure it's worth the price hike

[misty gyro]

Rtings has easy to read comparisons and review summaries, with a 1-10 rating system for each use case

[maiden wedge]

Yeah
Unfortunately the 27qp isn't on there

I usually go there first

[small warren]

hardware unboxed says it's an upgrade over the M27Q so I'd say it's good, but you still have the G27Q variant for cheaper

[brazen ridge]

mm thx

[severe dirge]

I love my G27Q IPS. I did get the G32QC and even though it's weird with the VA panel, I still really like it.

[maiden wedge]

What's with about VA?

Just curious

[old arch]

Ips is generally better, and curved panel is usually VA

[winter sapphire]

I have 2 monitors. The first one is 1080p60 and the Second one is 1440p 144hz. When i go to extend screen it tells me to keep resolution on 1920×1080p. Does that mean both of my monitor will display 1080p resolution.

Is this a decent quality monitor? Looking for an upgrade for my family member. Not trying to spend more than $200.

[errant edge]

[meager wadi]

Is the monitor I shared bad?

[errant edge]

g241 just better

It's also curved :/

[quartz sandal]

In windows the screen that is selected above will be the res for that screen and vice versa

[meager wadi]

Appreciate it. Originally was looking to do a curved monitor. But honestly I'd rather her have the better picture quality

[winged lava]

Is Freesync better than Gsync when it comes to performance?

[misty gyro]

Gsync is technically better but they're not being made any more, because they were so much more expensive to make and didn't meet the idle power draw requirements for states like California and Utah.

Modern "gsync compatible" monitors are just rebranded freesync

[winged lava]

What is technically better about it

[misty gyro]

They used a separate module to calculate the refresh intervals

Freesync just uses the processor in the monitor

Therefore the refreshes on true gsync panels were more accurate

The problem is that separate module used 15W with the monitor in sleep mode

[winged lava]

So gsync compatible and Freesync premium are the same thing

[misty gyro]

Yes and no

"Gsync compatible" can be one of several levels of Freesync

Premium being one of them

And one of the better ones at that

[winged lava]

So Freesync premium is preferred?

[misty gyro]

That would work very well yes

It's probably one of the closest performers to true gsync there is

But there's a lot more to a monitor than all that of course

[winged lava]

Ok got it
Cause quite a few monitors use Freesync premium

Yeah I know that too

So like, these Gsync premium monitors, are they better than Freesync premium?

[misty gyro]

Just rebranded Freesync premium

It's like when they put "Intel" or "AMD" in the model for memory, but there's literally no difference physically

[verbal spear]

whats a good ips monitor with good color accuracy 1080p

[misty gyro]

Are you looking at color for media viewing or creation?

And what budget?

[severe dirge]

Do you guys leave the plastic film on the screen portion of you monitors?

[misty gyro]

no

It refracts too much light and messes with the colors

[severe dirge]

Alright. I could have swore mine had a film on it, but I don't seem to be able to lift up a corner to get it off.

Maybe I'm trippin

[verbal spear]

nah gaming under 300$ prefer

i do watch a lot of movie and yt

[misty gyro]

This one is IPS, 144 Hz with good reviews when focused on gaming features, good out of the box color accuracy, and is currently $227.

i need help i need a monitor for my x box series s for 200 euros

[small warren]

MSI Optix G241 or G242

[raw ingot]

tbh xbox series s could do with anything less

[quartz sandal]

What country?

[sturdy abyss]

This was shaking around my monitor any one has a idea what it used for did not open the monitor fully just got it out in a corner

[delicate thunder]

yo can anyone find me a 75hz 100hz or 144hz monitor atleast 200$

[quartz sandal]

Msi g242 or g241 or gigabyte g24f

[delicate thunder]

ight ima search it thanks

the best size for monitors is 24inch right

[misty gyro]

For 1080p up to 24" is ideal, 27" is a little too low pixel density

[quartz sandal]

Although fine if you use it at a larger distance than normal as if it was a close tv

[hard ridge]

hi

nvm

[glad marten]

i need a good 24" monitor that has good color accuracy and has 240hz

any recs?

[small warren]

240hz we don't normally suggest around here

I think AW2521hf is one of the cheap ones? I think AOC also has one that's awfully cheap

yeah AOC has a couple actually but I can't remember which one of those it was that's decent

[glad marten]

why is that

[misty gyro]

99% of people can't tell anything higher than about 165 Hz apart

[glad marten]

i just want a competitive edge ik the benefits are diminishing as you go up in hz but i feel like some more would benefit me

[small warren]

viewsonic xg2431 is a decent one

[glad marten]

bc ever since i built this new pc i feel a draw back on the 144 i have

[small warren]

it's blurbusters approved as well

[misty gyro]

The only time it gives you that "competitive edge" is when you're trying to go from top 0.01% to top 0.001%

Proven by science. Many people actually perform worse on higher refresh.

[small warren]

sorry it was the aw2518hf

not 21

blurbusters recommends the xg2431 over that though

it's also 24" so it'll have decent clarity

[misty gyro]

Yeah getting better response times and reducing blur will be a much better upgrade than higher refresh

[glad marten]

so is 27 inches bad

[misty gyro]

Just not as high pixel density, you can lose some clarity unless you sit pretty far back

[glad marten]

ahhh

bc i was looking at this monitor

https://www.amazon.com/Acer-VG272-Xbmiipx-Certified-DisplayHDR400/dp/B07YGZ54RB/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3IVO0YXI9WY0N&keywords=acer+nitro+240hz+24+inch&qid=1657413892&s=electronics&sprefix=acer+nitro+240+hz+24inc%2Celectronics%2C75&sr=1-4

same price is the one we suggested https://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG2431-FreeSync-Ergonomics-DisplayPort/dp/B097S9SYM5/ref=sr_1_3

[glad marten]

oh it is ips

just not in the listing

[small warren]

yup

[glad marten]

i just saw the second image

this one only says freesync

is g sync even worth using

when i had a team red card i never bothered with freesync, is there any benefits?

[glad marten]

what tool is this?

[small warren]

it's in the pins

they're like the first or second group you talk to for a good monitor

[glad marten]

opinion?

[small warren]

I see that one around here a fair bit, I would probably choose the viewsonic one tho even if you get 40 more fps

you could consider this one
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VG259QM-Compatible-DisplayHDR-DisplayPort/dp/B0876KP2CK/

different version, IPS instead

[glad marten]

i looked up various reviews im prob ending up with ur viewsonic recc

is there any ones without strobing that are recommended?

i hear strobing can be a drawback

[small warren]

honestly I'm not sure, you'd have a better chance going to the blurbusters forums and asking them directly for the specific use case if it helps

https://forums.blurbusters.com/

[glad marten]

i didnt check the forum and sorry for this ping but i found this monitor and used some comparison sites and i saw a video on the view sonic and this one (https://www.amazon.com/Acer-XV252Q-Fbmiiprx-FreeSync-Technology/dp/B095X5KQY8/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3IZ76H8F90R0A&geniuslink=true&keywords=Acer+XV252Q-F+390hz&linkId=b817e7604c7c34f27f42f55245ffacb7&qid=1657418883&sprefix=acer+xv252q-f390hz%2Caps%2C260&sr=8-3)

its only 90 more

for some more hz

and has a .5 gtg idk what the mprt is

[small warren]

from what I know stepping up to 390 you're still getting a similar panel to a 360 but it's extremely diminishing returns

are you even pushing 390 in *these game(s) consistently?

[glad marten]

i mean i was just looking around tbh and the internet reccomends that one for being ever so slightly better but from further investigation it has more blur, idk whether to favor blur over input lag

[small warren]

240 to 390hz is extremely diminishing

[glad marten]

on valo yes im pretty sure, on siege its more like in the early 300's

[small warren]

if anything upgrading to a mouse with a faster sensor probably does more in this scenario

[glad marten]

im on 144 atm

so im just trying to get a better one to give this one to my little brother tbh

[misty gyro]

Freesync prevents screen tearing artifacts by syncing the monitor refresh to the fps

[glad marten]

im now with team green since the new build

[misty gyro]

It's one of those features that's great on some monitors and not so great on others

Nvidia works with freesync

[small warren]

frametimes on 240 = ~4.1ms, 390Hz = ~2.5ms or something to that effect

but a faster mouse sensor can do more

you shave off like 2ms system latency

[glad marten]

this is my benchmark on my main game

[small warren]

i would do the viewsonic then switch to an 8k mouse if you were really trying to squeeze all the fps out

I think a 5700X can handle it

you break even at a cheaper mark that way

[glad marten]

arent most 8k mice wired though

[small warren]

yea

[glad marten]

sad life

im on a chunky mouse rn

the g903

[misty gyro]

Pretty sure there was a Logitech wireless with the hero sensor

[glad marten]

i could get a gpro prob soon

[small warren]

getting a better mouse will def help

g903 hero?

[glad marten]

the second one is the 390

[glad marten]

yeah i have the hero sensor

its still a thick ass mouse

[small warren]

input lag is not the same as frametime pacing

[misty gyro]

I have to use the g502 with all the weights to keep myself from lifting the mouse too much

[small warren]

honestly at like, 240hz+ with a good mouse like a hero, you start nitpicking apart what's really worth it

you could go 390 or even 480, 8K sensor mouse and then you get the quickest response but it's extremely diminishing for price/perf

not to mention you have to readjust to a new mouse

[glad marten]

that is true

[small warren]

I would really just go with like the viewsonic tbh

especially when it's blur busters recommended

[glad marten]

the first is the acer the second is the vs

[small warren]

instead things like a nicer mousepad or skates gives you a much better and more accurate result

in that sort of budget

[glad marten]

ok ok youre selling me at this point

[small warren]

lol

good cos I downgraded from a 360hz after trying it

[glad marten]

aint no way

[fading wyvern]

Can confirm there is barely any difference between something like 165hz and 240hz

Higher you go the less you notice

[small warren]

aw2521h and yes way

lol

I went back down to a G7 and I still love that screen

[dull copper]

What monitor would y'all recommend that's under 32", 1440p, 144-175hz, and is not curved

Budget is $500 max, and this is excluding discounts and sales

[raw ingot]

M27Q-X

it's 175hz, is 1440p and of course 27"

[quartz sandal]

M27q-x is 240hz, m27q-p is 170hz

Both great choices

guys what should i choose 10bit 120hz or 144hz 8bit,i can do 144hz 10bit but i have to make the range output to limited and the color format to 4:2:2

[misty gyro]

It's 100% your preference.
Use displayport instead of HDMI. You generally get more bandwidth for better modes.

[surreal quarry]

I would do the 10bit one. The only real difference would be if you do competitive esports where every FPS matters. The 10 bit will have much better colors. Just make sure to check rtings to make sure the whites and blacks are good

[misty gyro]

That does not appear to be VESA mount compatible so no to standard mounts and I doubt there's even custom ones

[eternal elk]

Oof

I’m looking to change what monitor I was gonna get, but idk what to go for, I’d like something with 240hz, 1ms or lower, 27”, and vesa mount compatible

And for a reasonable price, tho there’s prob not gonna be one rn

[mortal cliff]

Hey all, I'm looking into getting a portable display that's at a decent price. Preferably less than £100. Doesn't need to be touchscreen but if there is one then not an issue.
Maybe something like 15 inches.
I'm gonna be connecting a raspberry pi to it to use like a portable PC so needs to have HDMI capability.
It won't be used for gaming, just normal browsing and photo viewing etc.
I've seen there's the quote nice Asus displays I think it is but those are like £300 or so.

Second hand/used is fine if it's still in working condition etc.

Anyone know of anything good. Maybe there is a good prime day deal going that you've seen which I haven't...
Thanks

[eternal elk]

I remember one of the videos I watched from Greg Salazar he said what monitor he used, and it is a nice small portable monitor Idk if it’s raspberry pie compatible tho

[severe dirge]

I can't seem to find anything over 10 inches for a raspberry pi screen.. That being said, if you were willing to go with 10 inch, this is on a stellar deal today if you are a prime member. It's a lightning deal for 45% off with an extra $15 off coupon to make it a total of $52.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0987468N2

[mortal cliff]

I'm UK based and ideally wanted it for this weekend. Looks like a nice option to still consider though because it looks like I can get it shipped to England anyway.

Sorry I didn't specify. I thought it might have given it away when I was using £££ in my message for pricing haha

[severe dirge]

It's ok, I didn't even notice. I work 10-12 hour shifts 6-7 days a week so I am pretty tired most the time around this time.

[mortal cliff]

Ahhh i see. No worries, that's understandable

[mortal cliff]

I'll see if I can find that later on then and see what it's like

[misty gyro]

Right but it doesn't come with the VESA adapter you need, which is ridiculous at the price

[fading wyvern]

It comes in the box

[misty gyro]

It claims to but multiple reviews say they didn't get it

[fading wyvern]

Probably missed it, missed my adapter for my omen monitor , was stashed in the styrofoam

[misty gyro]

There's also a couple saying they got the mount but not the screws to attach it lol

[fading wyvern]

🤷‍♂️

[misty gyro]

Personally I'd go for one that's just straight compatible and doesn't need an adapter

Bought this for 187 is it any good? 24" Gaming Monitor 240Hz (144Hz Supported) Full HD 1920 x 1080P IPS Display, AMD FreeSync Premium, 2ms GTG, 100% sRGB, DisplayPort, HDMI, USB, 3-Sided Frameless Gaming Screen, VESA, Black, Prechen https://a.co/d/2D85nms

[indigo berry]

I guess yes
It's a good IPS 240hz
For that price is perfect

[fading wyvern]

No idea what the brand is, just checked overall reviews, has a average of 3.7/5 on all of its products. The specs seem alright though on the screen

[tame notch]

I mean had to get something before the sale ended so

[fading wyvern]

It’s probably using a main brand screen manufacturer, just it’s own controller or w.e so it should be perfectly usable

[tame notch]

Well I got like a cheap 144hz van panel rn

[fading wyvern]

Quick monitor space summary there’s 3 main manufacturers, Samsung, LG and Au optronics. AU optronics is usually in the lead but pretty much every gaming monitor will use one of those three panel manufacturers

[tame notch]

So I guess an upgrade to a 240 hz and a ips will be hoo

Good

[indigo berry]

"Darth Vader" already bought it and is just asking if it was a good one
Maybe he wants to return it? Don't think so

[fading wyvern]

I mean Amazon has great refund policies so if anything’s wrong I’m sure it’ll be fine

[indigo berry]

It's a really good panel, IPS and 240hz
Maybe contrast is not the best...? Idk

[indigo berry]

Yep

[fading wyvern]

I’m just saying it’s probably a good panel from one of those manufacturers, just the brand is unknown, at least to me I have no clue what it is

[indigo berry]

Mostly for the price, too

It is good

And

It is what it is

[fading wyvern]

I can’t find any information on the panel besides what’s listed of course, lemme know how it is

[plucky crag]

Can the IIYAMA G2466HSU be used on a double monitor stand?

It's VESA 100x100 compatible so a standard mount will work.
I wouldn't get that personally, 24 inches curved is pointless, you sacrifice panel quality for basically nothing.

Curved only matters when it's ultrawide

[verbal spear]

g24f good?

planning to sell my current monitor to friend

or should i get optix g273 instead

[quartz sandal]

Yeah although with a 3080 I'd go g27q

[verbal spear]

1440p feels weird to me

[quartz sandal]

?

[verbal spear]

feels a bit big compare to 1080p

i have a 1440p second monitor

which i dont like degrade it to 1080p

[quartz sandal]

What

[verbal spear]

well basically i dont like 1440p too much pixel and i prefer to use 1080p instead

so rn im looking for a 1080p monitor

and im selling my current main monitor to a friend if i see a good one

[severe dirge]

bUt 1440p Is SuPeRiOr. YoU sHoUlD kEeP uSiNg It. DoWnGrAdInG wOuLd Be A wAsTe.

[verbal spear]

well its an old 1440p monitor

got it for 50$

its only a second monitor

[severe dirge]

Definitely go with 1080p if that's what you want.

No reason to keep using 1440 if you don't like it.

[verbal spear]

yeah just asking rn whats a good 1080p monitor rn

[old arch]

Msi g241/g242, g24F as you said, various asus models. Mine is labeled 24.5" anyways it's the vg259qr if you care to glance at it. Probably a pin somewhere w/ a bigger list of good monitors.

[quartz sandal]

To many pixels? So you don't like a smoother image? I think you mean that 27" is too big??

[verbal spear]

nah 27inch is fine 1440p to me is like zoom out too much to me

[severe dirge]

I get it. When I first got 1440p I had troubles seeing things because everything was so small. I've been using 1440p now for a bit and when I look at a 1080p it feels to zoomed in.

I actually have my browser zoomed in though so I can read things

And I sit like.. 1.5ft from my 32inch monitor lol

[verbal spear]

yeah thats why i dont like 1440p lol

i think i prefer zoomed in rather than zoom out

how about lg monitor they any good? ive always had asus monitor so not sure abt them

[old arch]

Lots of LG lcds are pretty solid, probably not too many to avoid. Remember most stuff that says .5ms instead of 1ms, it might be TN rather than ips. (Although the whole .5 or 1ms rating is sort of bogus when in reality for us it's 5+ ms, no big deal though)

[verbal spear]

yep made a mistake on that with my asus monitor

i might get a g24f if it ever goes on sale

[old arch]

Lcd prices sure can vary a lot. My asus was $200ish & fine w/ that. Itching to test the $175 hp x27q that's usually $260 plus & sort of a competitor to the GB M27Q. Considering my gpu obviously the 1440p will be my secondary for now, probably.

[quartz sandal]

Bro, change scaling to 125% it has same sized stuff as 1080p then

Problem solved

[severe dirge]

I like how everything looks now, I just still have my internet font set to Large

[quartz sandal]

Gonna re-upload, bit of my laptop was showing

[quartz sandal]

Imo default is too small

[severe dirge]

Dox yourself?

[quartz sandal]

Nah just had a small bit of my teams name in work

I'll mess around with this when I get off work and see if I like it.

But I am pretty used to default now.

Also... Ew Minecraft.

Tbf i haven't played it on PC.. so maybe its faster to build stuff.

But I played it for probably 15 hours a day for a month straight and burned myself out.

[small warren]

I tried minecraft once like 10 or 11 years ago for an hour and never touched it again

[old arch]

I hate on Battle Royale but sort of hooked on Apex.

[severe dirge]

Yeah any time I even think about it, I get sick to my stomach lol

[quartz sandal]

Mc on phone is terrible compared to pc, and servers are great

[severe dirge]

I had it for ps4 pro

[small warren]

I don't get sick I'm just so indifferent to the game I don't find it interesting lol

[quartz sandal]

Eh same applies mouse n keeb superiority

[verbal spear]

its fun with friends

[small warren]

I was playing with friends

[severe dirge]

I kinda wish I could grab my playstation cloud saves though

[small warren]

I was still bored lol

[severe dirge]

Building just takes to long.

And I don't play survival

[small warren]

In MC's defence I was addicted to Forza 4 on the 360 at the time

I still am addicted to that specific game

[severe dirge]

Kingdom of Amular The Reckoning was my addiction for a second

Closest I could get to an mmo feel without internet.

Except Witcher 3.

[old arch]

Most Forza stuff is fantastic. F6 & F7 were pretty good. Those sort of ones soak up so much time easily.

[severe dirge]

I put about 400 hours into that game.

[small warren]

I played a lot of Forza, so much so that the newer ones don't spark me like I used to

I basically only played FM7 for ForzaRC and LMES

[old arch]

I played GT way before forza in my case, GT4.

[small warren]

Yeah I'm more into GT rn

[mellow fossil]

You could download the world edit mod

[small warren]

GT sport and GT7 are much better

Horizon is it's own thing

[severe dirge]

Wuts dat do?

[mellow fossil]

Speeds up building A LOT

[severe dirge]

Hm ok.

[mellow fossil]

Most of those massive builds you see online are built using it

[severe dirge]

I'll check it out then. Because I always think of something I'd like to build, then I'm like nah forget it.

[severe dirge]

I don't watch minecraft/let alone look at anything about it lol

Last time I played was about 8 years ago.

[small warren]

I like some of the tricky stuff you can do in MC but I like to look, not create lol

If I could describe this well it's like watching someone build a water-loop pc for me lol

"Ooo that's neat" lol

[severe dirge]

I want to build onee

[small warren]

I want one next-gen but I know I'm going to hate myself for it

Either a good waterblock card or at least an aio one

[severe dirge]

Like, I'm bummed that 40 series is potentially pushed back, but at the same time it's ok, because now I can save more money to get it/13th gen/custom loop all at once.

Plus new fans because the antec prizm x white has all turned yellow and I'm a little mad about it lol

And they've only been in my case for about a month now.

Maybe a little longer.

[small warren]

If anything that might be a bit of a blessing for 40 series

If that means they can improve it a bit more post RDNA 3 it's a consumer win in that sense

Same to be said if it was the other way around but this way we have a bit more time

[verbal spear]

btw another thing i got curious abt rog strix monitor

other than the price are they good?

i found one on my marketplace specifically xg27aq

[versed brook]

seems great but idk* worth $350ish as Amazon has it currently. normal strix tax. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/rog-strix-xg27aq

[quartz sandal]

@verbal spear anyway in conclusion it's not 1440p you have a problem with it's just the 100% scaling instead of 125% lol

Would just go gigabyte g27q and set scaling to 125% - that's what i do anyway

[severe dirge]

I can second the g27q

[plucky crag]

would the MSI Optix MAG251RX be a good monitor for competitive and a bit of singleplayer

[severe dirge]

I can get this monitor for $85 brand new. Is that a good enough deal to jump on?

https://www.amazon.com/HP-Full-1920-Micro-Edge-Monitor/dp/B085VCWM9P/ref=asc_df_B085VCWM9P/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=563725902662&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6130757227964334018&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9029519&hvtargid=pla-1570997644780&psc=1

Sitting at Walmart hoping someone can respond soon. If not, ill just put it back.

[errant edge]

depends, if youll use it sure

would be fine for a side monitor

[severe dirge]

The display is kinda lackluster, but it works and the design for the most part fits with my gigglebits

[spring oriole]

any nice reccomendations for 1440p 144hz monitors? i feel like you guys would know best haha

[errant edge]

g27q, or x27q when its on sale

depends on your budget though

[spring oriole]

I think I have a high enough budget until its moreso diminishing returns

if that makes sense

[errant edge]

thats not a number

[spring oriole]

3-4 hundred

[errant edge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JPrYcf/gigabyte-g27q-270-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-g27q

[spring oriole]

should i be worried about this exploding like their PSUs? 😂

[errant edge]

no

gigabyte makes great monitors and mobos

[spring oriole]

Okay thank you

[tame notch]

Well I just canceled the order

For the 240hx monitor

I think I can get better for lower price

[raw ingot]

which one was it?

[fading wyvern]

Talking about this one?

[mighty tide]

I have a monitor that is 1080p, and for all purposes it seems to be however there's a recurring issue with games that the recordings(if played on seperate devices) look amazing however on my monitor it can be quite grainy and just look way worse than recordings do

Monitor is AOC C24G1

Is there like monitor drivers??

And 60 FPS on mobile looks 1000x smoother than my pc, it's freesync compatible and I have amd but I didn't really like turn it on

Is it automatic or do I need to do that manually?

[fading wyvern]

That's not a monitor issue, sounds like a recording issue/compression issue. Videos can get grainy easily especially in fast paced games or games with lots of foliage.

[mighty tide]

Ah I worded it badly, sorry. I meant that the videos look really good and normal use is slightly grainy

For example if I watch the video on my phone or laptop at 1080p it looks great and on my monitor it looks grainy

Not the video just the normal gameplay

It's only on a few games but it's very noticeable

[fading wyvern]

That sounds super weird. does it have like a sharpness setting? What games if you dont mind?

[surreal quarry]

Could be monitor settings

[mighty tide]

It does seem to be games with weird TAA, mostly RDR2, dying light 2, warhammer vermintide

I just watched a video of dying light 2 I recorded on it to show how messed up it looked but watching it on my phone it looked 10000x better

And phone is way smoother even though it's supposedly only 60 fps when pc should be way more

Not sure if freesync is just...not good

Cause turning on vsync looks smoother

[fading wyvern]

I mean it couulddd be tearing on the monitor or just pixels getting stuck

But it sounds more like it could be a setting, its weird that its not happening in more games. Vermintide tends to be a bit more of a grainy game from what i remember

vsync/freesync if its helping take advantage of that.

[mighty tide]

Dying light 2 and vermintide are the worst, borderline unplayable how bad the grain is even with the best settings for it

[fading wyvern]

The frame rate though is totally fine/playable?

[mighty tide]

Yeah it gets at least 100 FPS always

It doesn't look super smooth and I can't explain why but it's not bad

[fading wyvern]

Any chance you have another cable laying around to plug into the monitor? I'm pretty stumped

[mighty tide]

Power cable or display port?

[fading wyvern]

dp/hdmi

[mighty tide]

I'm getting one today to see lol

Also its an American monitor that's on UK voltage..

That could maybe be a problem??

[fading wyvern]

Just removing possibilities, could be a bad connection... i dont think it would be. lol

What gpu do you have?

[mighty tide]

5700 XT

A beefy version as well so

[fading wyvern]

Could always try to DDU see if that fixes anything

Seems like people with similar monitor issues with the card have just fixed them by switching to DP. But it seems like youre already using DP...

[mighty tide]

Tbf it was a random DP cable I found...

Mightve been old or broken or somethin

I'm heading to best buy soon so I'll try and find a fancy one ig??

[fading wyvern]

maybe... but every other game youve been playing seems fine, and its not like its sending more or less data through

Do you have a tv that you can yank a hdmi out of quick for giggles?

[mighty tide]

Lemme run and do that

Ah also my old DP was 1.0 so...

[fading wyvern]

Any luck?

[mighty tide]

Yep, got a new DP cable and seems to be mostly fixed for now!!

Thanks a ton

[tame notch]

Yes

[fading wyvern]

[indigo berry]

i already told forks to ban them

it's a bot

[fading wyvern]

Lol yeah just

[indigo berry]

:pog;

[fading wyvern]

It’s still there

[raw ingot]

ye

[sick plume]

One does not tell fork anything

one only asks

[indigo berry]

[maiden wedge]

should i get the m27Q P or LG 27GP850-B ? i can get them for the same price where I live. I play FPS and watch movies/shows

[quartz sandal]

M27q-p

[maiden wedge]

why?

ive heard gigabyte has bad quality control and the LG performs better

[misty gyro]

Gigabyte makes good monitors, you might be thinking of PSUs

[maiden wedge]

i just heard they get a lot of backlight bleed and dead pixels

and in the m27q p review on hardware unboxed the gp850 seems to score better in benchmarks?

so for the same price..

and for watching movies i assume they're basically on the same level?

[maiden wedge]

actually turns out the m27q P is slightly more expensive

[visual pilot]

He talks about it, it's mainly because of the overdrive on balanced mode being the best mode, but balanced mode inverse ghosting becoming more noticable below 120hz and therefore for the tests at other refresh rates, he used picture mode, but in the first max refresh rate test, you can see the m27q-p has a better response time than gp850, when balanced mode was used.

And also, later in the vid, M27q-p has better color and contrast.

[maiden wedge]

sorry, dumb question. Why is my refresh rate changing? isnt it 160hz? does this mean at lower fps my refresh rate is lower?

[visual pilot]

Adaptive sync

G-sync and freesync

Any variable refresh rate tech can vary your refresh rate to match your fps to eliminate vertical tearing

[maiden wedge]

so in games where my fps is lower like Squad im going to have to deal with this "ghosting" or change to picture mode?

or turn off gsync?

[visual pilot]

Perhaps

[maiden wedge]

sounds like a lot of hassle, and i don't have this problem with the gp850?

bc often my fps is going up and down a lot depending on the map I play

[misty gyro]

Adaptive sync tech waits to refresh the screen until the GPU sends a frame so it can appear smoother with less tearing

[maiden wedge]

is there a mode i can play on where the response time is still decent and I don't have to deal with ghosting or whatever and worry about what my fps is at all the time?

[misty gyro]

Adaptive sync doesn't affect response time

Ghosting is more up to the monitor itself

[maiden wedge]

but he said that adaptive sync will change my refresh rate to match my fps. so if i have low fps like 80 or smth im going to have ghosting unless im constantly changing between picture and balance mode

[misty gyro]

Might have gotten mixed up with vsync which is totally different

But yes adaptive sync does effectively change the refresh rate, but if you're only doing 80 fps on a 160 fps screen it only needs to do half the refreshes anyway

[maiden wedge]

if i just leave it on picture mode to avoid ghosting the response time still isnt that bad maybe? in the benchmark looks like its on the same level as the m27q which is still pretty decent and i guess i have better colors in the mean time?

[misty gyro]

Now if it's a more extreme example like 110 fps on a 170 Hz monitor, then you'll get screen tearing as it tries to display only half finished frames

As far as picture mode every monitor is different and there's no way to generalize

Most of the cheaper ones require you to trade response time for accuracy though

"Cheaper" being relative, under $400 for 1440p

But of course there's some more expensive that are just crap 🤣

[maiden wedge]

so you're suggesting i just leave adaptive sync/gsync/whatever off bc i shouldnt get too bad tearing at 70/80 fps on the m27q p?

[misty gyro]

It'll still tear but not as bad since that's about half the refresh rate. You'd only get half screen tears instead of tears across more parts of the screen.

As long as the monitor itself implements adaptive sync well there's almost no reason not to use it.

But again that varies wildly. Some monitors it's completely unusable on below 120 fps. So deep reviews like rtings that tests multiple ranges for adaptive sync are nice.

[maiden wedge]

but wasnt it just mentioned that the at low fps the low refresh rate will cause ghosting if I dont change to picture mode?

[misty gyro]

That's one of those things that varies by monitor

[maiden wedge]

well you guys were telling me to buy the m27p q over the LG one

[misty gyro]

I didn't say one way or the other personally, I didn't look for comparison data to make a recommendation

[maiden wedge]

ok well i guess it was one person who said get the m27q-p without explaining why

and i cant make up my mind at all lol

[misty gyro]

Instead of looking at the monitor as a whole, decide more about what features and test results matter to you most. There will be some tradeoffs in that price bracket, you won't find a monitor that's best at everything.

[maiden wedge]

is this contrast/color stuff that important? i watch movies and twitch and stuff on my computer but I'm on an 24g2u and I don't think thats the best in those terms either. Doesn't seem to bother me. Its generally always going to be a weakness with IPS monitors right? Meanwhile I dont want to deal with ghosting or worry that my response time sucks because I have to change to picture mode when I play at lower fps. (unless it really isnt that bad?)

[misty gyro]

Personally, as a gamer, contrast is nice for dark scenes and color is pretty inconsequential.

Color can usually be tuned to be pretty accurate in software/osd settings as well, even if it's not great out of the box.

You don't need the full DCI-P3 color space to enjoy games and movies

That's mostly for making content

[maiden wedge]

ok so color is not that important then. is the better contrast alone enough to justify choosing the m27qp over the gp850?

[misty gyro]

I like dungeon crawler games with lots of dark scenes so personally if the contrast is significantly better that could be a selling point for me.

Games like Skyrim, tomb raider, hollow knight, where dark scenes are common

If you're more of a fps gamer it might not matter as much

[maiden wedge]

its a mixed bag of games for me. Ready or Not has some spooky dark areas etc. so better contrast makes it easier to see in the dark? less muddy or smth?

[misty gyro]

It makes the dark stand out better against sources of light

So the dark areas become less gray

[maiden wedge]

i really wish the m27q-p had an rtings article

well i posted the same question on reddit so I guess I'll make a decision after that. The contrast thing kinda bugs me so I'm leaning m27qp and hoping this ghosting thing isnt too noticeable/annoying

or i can just leave it on picture mode and the response time is still decent enough (since its on the same level as the m27q apparently). i mean lets be honest im not competitively playing csgo or anything

[misty gyro]

Yeah if you were doing CSGO then you'd want 1080p anyway

[maiden wedge]

true

who knows maybe ill forget about all of that when i see what 1440p looks like for the first time anyway lol

neither are bad monitors anyway

[misty gyro]

I upgraded from a cheap 1080p 75hz to a G27QC (which is not considered great because of the VA panel and viewing angles) and it's still a night and day difference in detail and response.

It was on sale for $250 at my local best buy, hard to pass that up.

[maiden wedge]

yeah its easy to get really deep in the weeds about little differences in performance for me oh well

thanks for the help

or at least kinda hashing it out lol

also i hope im not too unlucky with the QA lottery if i get the gigabyte. have seen lots of ppl complaining about backlight bleed and dead pixels from the m27q and I had 1 GPU from them die on me

[old arch]

Speaking of "lottery", I wonder which panel I got. Althiugh, it is the 2021 model that should be the better of 2 panels.

[severe dirge]

I can't speak for the m27q, but the g27q has backlight bleed, but it's really not noticeable unless your really looking for it or just have the screen completely black for some reason. Watching movies and playing games, it's never bothered me where I was like "dang backlight bleed"

[verbal spear]

ViewSonic XG2405 what do u think about this monitor?

[maiden wedge]

damn it no one replied to my reddit post

[maiden wedge]

someone suggested i just forgo the m27q-p and gp850 and go for the m27q X even tho its more expensive

rtings doesnt show it has any better contrast than the other 2 and i dont really need 240hz so whats the point

[errant edge]

G27q would also be a good option at $100 less than m27q rn

Unless prices changed

[old arch]

Indeed. I suggest most people not bother w/ 240hz anyways, unless the price premium was small.

[maiden wedge]

yeah its a pretty stiff price hike in my country currently. like 50% more

[maiden wedge]

thanks but i think i'll stick between these 2 currently. I'm happy with the current price point

i just can't decide if i should go for the m27qp and deal with the ghosting but better contrast/colors, or do the LG

[old arch]

The ghosting is probably overhyped, but I lean towards LG. Partly for perhaps better service.

[quartz sandal]

Nzxt made a monitor....

[severe dirge]

I'm a g27q shill

[fading wyvern]

[errant edge]

Oh god

You got a link?

[quartz sandal]

https://nzxt.com/collection/qhd-monitor

Their monitor arm prices kill me

[brave pivot]

Who is try this monitor?

Check this out on @Newegg: LG UltraGear 27GL83A-B 27" QHD 2560 x 1440 (2K) 144 Hz 1ms HDMI, DisplayPort, Audio NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible IPS Gaming Monitor https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824026281?Item=N82E16824026281&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-24-026-281-_-07192022

[indigo berry]

How does it look like to game 1080p on a 1440p monitor?

[severe dirge]

Its alright. I tried 1080p in Quantum Break and it looked "fuzzy", but that could be because less pixels than 1440p.

[old arch]

Could try windowed mode 1080p unstretched, then it should look decent. I haven't yet gamed on the x27q

[quartz sandal]

Horrible

[indigo berry]

Ah
I was thinking in buying a 1440p 144 but I noticed warzone has a low and unstable frame rate at 1440p max. (Down to 60fps and not more than 120)
I'll probably go for a cheaper used 1080p

[quartz sandal]

Cod looks great on minimum everything

Would just play 1440p low/medium

Also cod has dlss

My 3060 ti gets 180-200fps all low with dlss performance and I can't tell the difference between that and native

[indigo berry]

NoH
I don't like low graphics

[indigo berry]

You sure you don't lose image quality?

[quartz sandal]

I'll take a screenshot later on

[indigo berry]

Could you try warzone 1440p ultra + dlss

?

[quartz sandal]

Sure

[quartz sandal]

Ping me in like 4 hours to remind me

[indigo berry]

Ok thanks

[maiden wedge]

ordered the LG 27GP850-B

[indigo berry]

@quartz sandal

Reminder as you asked

[quartz sandal]

i dont have warzone downloaded but its the same game just multi player, 1st 1440p low DLSS perf, 2nd 1440p ultra dlss perf, 3rd 1080p ultra no dlss

[old arch]

Hard to tell on phone, but 1440p Low looks pretty decent. Guess I'll do some gaming in the x27q. :Pog-1:

[quartz sandal]

they look identical to me

1440ps that is

although make sure you view zoomed in

and the 1080p one doesnt look as bad as it did in game

for some reason

[indigo berry]

Thanks a lot
I don't see much difference between 2nd and 3rd image
Btw FPS may be different in warzone sice you basically have a big area to render around you

I'll see how much the used 1440p 144 monitor will cost me

[quartz sandal]

might get more but i have capped at 200

so dont really look at the fps

[indigo berry]

What type of dlss are you using?

Isn't there like quality and performance/balanced?

[quartz sandal]

1st 1440p low DLSS perf, 2nd 1440p ultra dlss perf, 3rd 1080p ultra no dlss

[sage trail]

is it a 1080p screenshot?

[quartz sandal]

they wanted to know what it looked like on a 1440p monitor

so uh 1440p screenshot

[sage trail]

is it tho

[quartz sandal]

should be?

[sage trail]

prolly why it looks fine haha

[indigo berry]

It's not about the resolution but mostly about in game details

[sage trail]

yeah but 1080p on 1440p look blurry and gross

would rather just not play the game at all at that point

[indigo berry]

https://youtu.be/IpqjAStfNWU
@quartz sandal in this video it shows 1080p and 1440p with different dlss types

Also it's using a 3060 which is less powerful than a 2080, I may get a nice FPS even with quality dlss 1440p

Now I just need to see if I can negotiate the price for the 1440p monitor

[quartz sandal]

Bruhh

Dlss also isn't as good on 20 series iirc

[indigo berry]

POG I RANKED UP

:POG;

[quartz sandal]

^ it's because they where 1080p for some reason

[indigo berry]

Uh
So should I go for 1080p..?, it's 50€ less compared to the 1440p

Since dlss is not that good

[quartz sandal]

1440p should be perfectly fine tbh

[sage trail]

you tryin to hit 240 fps or something?

[quartz sandal]

144 id say

[sage trail]

1440p 144hz on cod aint that hard, i would say its mostly cpu bound

[quartz sandal]

Probably

Considering i got basically same fps on 1440p ultra and low dlss perf

But dlss does bring up my fps from about 160-170 to 180-200

[sage trail]

settings be damned I get 120-140 on my 10920x always

gpu just renders whatever i tell it to

[indigo berry]

I have a 3600x

[sage trail]

1440p for sure

going with 1080p aint gonna improve framerate lol

[errant edge]

with 3600 and 3060 ti in cold war and warzone, at 1080p, im still running into gpu limit first

unless theyve better optimized them in the last few months

been a few since i played

[sage trail]

mw2019 always been pretty cpu bound

cw is less, so ig if all you are concered about is cw, then it doesnt matter

cw sucks tho

[indigo berry]

https://youtu.be/ep_MibV9G5Q
This guy gets 110-120 without dlss Ultra setting and also Ray tracing
He's using a 9700k, I guess 3600x will be almost the same...?

[errant edge]

1440p is probably going to be my upgrade after rpl

itd come first, if i werent waiting on new cpu and mobo to rebuild

[indigo berry]

Not sure if I should buy a 80€ 1080p 144 (basically new) or a 140€ 2k 144....

There are many games that will be affected by the higher resolution....

[quartz sandal]

I have a 3600 and definitely better ram soo probably pretty similar

[indigo berry]

Ram freq? (And latency)

[quartz sandal]

Ray tracing in cod is the biggest joke tbh i cant tell the difference

[indigo berry]

Yeah, I just saw a little drop in FPS...

[quartz sandal]

I'd go 1440

[indigo berry]

I'll try my best, that's the cheapest 1440p, all the other ones are 165+€

[indigo berry]

165+ usually 15€ shipping + 10€ package protection...

[quartz sandal]

Probably tn then :/ would try get va and ips

[indigo berry]

The one that's 140€ is IPS

I really hate TN

[quartz sandal]

Oh 2nd hand?

[indigo berry]

Good
I'd like to OC my ram too but the oc guide is so long and kinda complicated

[quartz sandal]

What ram you got?

[indigo berry]

Corsair vengeance rgb pro

3200

I saw many people pushing them to 3600/3700 cl16

[quartz sandal]

What version number?

Highly doubt stable

Probably 3600c18

[indigo berry]

One guy pushed it to 3800cl16

[quartz sandal]

@indigo berry

Look at the sticks

[indigo berry]

Yeah but it's behind

I'll take them apart tomorrow when I test the 1070 backplate

Do you think I can get 3600c16?/c17? Will that help performance or is it almost unnoticeable?

[quartz sandal]

Not unless you get really lucky with your memory dies

3600c18 most likely

[indigo berry]

Btw why is 3600c18 better than 3200c16?
I'd like you to explain how ram actually works
Cl is the latency, (in cycles, how much it takes for the data to be give to the CPU after it is requested) and higher speed? More bandwidth?
I know to get bandwidth you multiply by 8 (bytes) and it gives you MB/s
Does ram "offer" more data in those 18 cycles? 18*8= 144MB but is less responsive...?
Am I getting something wrong? (Probably)
Btw it's just for personal knowledge

Like:
3200c16 → 128MB given by those 16 cycles but given more frequently...?
3600c18 → 144MB for 18 cycles but takes more time
?

[misty gyro]

The frequency determines the total bandwidth available so with all else being equal 3600 MT/s is faster than 3200 MT/s by about 12%.
In reality not all that bandwidth is utilized all the time so the impact is less noticeable.

This is decent enough for some basics
https://youtu.be/o59V3_4NvPM

(they claim there's multiple parts but they never got around to part 2)

[indigo berry]

Thanks...was this right btw? ^

[quartz sandal]

Higher cl is worse

[misty gyro]

Cas latency has nothing to do with how many/how often the cycles are also

[quartz sandal]

Also the primary timings aren't even the most important

3600 MT/s memory runs at 1800 MHz, 1800 clock cycles per second. Cas is a measure of how often a specific type of command can be issued. A cas of 18 means 100 cas commands can be issued per second.

I know I'm probably using terms wrong but that's the general idea

[old arch]

Id say 3600c18 is maybe "better" if all the timings are conparatively decent & if a program truly makes use of that extra bandwidth. Here's a neat pic, note it's from the ddr(1) wiki.

Anyone know a 144hz, 27 inch, 1080p monitor under $200

my boi needs one

[old arch]

Msi G272 perhaps, or similar. Idk all the models.

[somber forum]

aight

my friend is getting his first computer

so happy for him 🥲

[sudden quest]

Yo

Can someone help me diagnose my tv

So I was playing a racing game and the force feedback from my wheel made the already loose hdmi connection fail, so I plug it back in, it doesnt work, it's only showing hdmi2 in the upper left corner

I hit it with my hand and it bugs out for a second and wont display now

The lamp still works and I have it open atm

[maiden wedge]

Are you sure your boi wants 27inch? Lots of people.complain about seeing the pixels at that size vs 24"

If he's ok with 24 (he should be if he really insists on 1080p) i highly recommend the aoc 24g2

[paper field]

Anyone have any recommendations for a budget monitor that can rotate fully vertical/skinny just used for Discord/Slack chat feed?

[old arch]

This is pretty good price btw. https://www.walmart.com/ip/MSI-Optix-G272-27-Full-HD-LED-Gaming-LCD-Monitor-16-9/905918032?selectedSellerId=0&irgwc=1

Sounds about right

[edgy hornet]

Acer ED270R Sbiipx 27" Curved Full HD

Is that a good monitor?

[verbal spear]

is pixio px277 1440p 165 hz good? or nah?

[raw ingot]

curved is pointless at 27"

just get m27q-x instead

[raw ingot]

is it px277 pro?

if so it's fine, response times aren't good tho

[quartz sandal]

M27q-p * x is the ~400$ 240hz version

[raw ingot]

ah

[indigo berry]

What's the difference between these two?:
LG 24GN600 and LG 24GN53A

[edgy hornet]

Acer ED270R Sbiipx 27" Curved Full HD

It was for 100. Any other better deals out there?

[indigo berry]

I'll buy the 1440p tomorrow, I was tempted for the 1080p since total was ~80 because of shipping discount but as soon as I was ready to send the request the person told me he already sold the monitor... Bruh
I'll go for the 1440p ofc because it also has the discount and I was able to negotiate the price to 120€ (+.5€+4.8€) ~130€ total
:)

Btw it's an itek taurus 1440p IPS 144hz

There were many other LG 1080p monitors, too but there are so many models I don't even understand the difference and I'm not sure if they're good or not

[maiden wedge]

just got my 27GL850
looks great. thanks for the help all

sorry i meant GP850 lol

frantically checks box just in case

[nimble patrol]

Is the difference between ips and va panels really noticeable in games?

[errant edge]

not as big as tn to va

as far as i understand

[misty gyro]

Each has their strengths and weaknesses in general but a good monitor can cover weaknesses well

[errant edge]

isnt there actually a panel above ips?

or is that just fast ips

[misty gyro]

OLED?

[errant edge]

i dont know monitors well

[misty gyro]

Or nano IPS?

The new fast IPS thing is yet to be tested in depth

[errant edge]

ah

[misty gyro]

Modern OLEDs are fantastic with little burn in risk, but they're super expensive. They do have the best contrast, brightness, response time... Almost everything

[nimble patrol]

Is this one good for the price? https://www.ebay.com/itm/144594029977?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=J41-etKJScK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=pbc8dgzvsa2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

this feels like a bad idea

but ehh

was my idea to make portable computer in a pelican case

probably not how it works, but if it could use the same power supply as the rest of the computer

probably will do without to make the project easier, or just leave the top unfinished and come back to it when I do have the knowledge

(I really dont want to tear apart an existing monitor only to shove it into the lid of this thing)
