G27F has slightly better contrast

M27F has slightly better colors

[open python]

are the M monitor models more higher end than the G monitors?

[misty gyro]

Sometimes, it's not a rule they follow

[maiden wedge]

hey man, if i switch to bracket vertical gpu instead of built in will i get better cooling?

[untold forge]

Update! It’s awesome! Having better quality and 144hz is sweet. However, on my laptop (I use the monitor as an external display) I’m limited to 144hz, while the monitor claims it’s 165hz. Is there a reason for this?

[misty gyro]

Laptop hdmi probably can't handle the full 165

[untold forge]

I’m using the HDMI cable that came with the monitor

Do you mean the laptops HDMI port?

[misty gyro]

Yes

[untold forge]

Ah okay

I’m fine with 144hz lol

Not much of a difference between the 2 id assume

[misty gyro]

And often the hdmi port on the monitor can't even do the full refresh rate

Nah nothing noticeable

[untold forge]

144hz is still amazing

And hopefully I can get an Xbox Series X for Christmas so I can use this monitor to its full potential lol

Since the series X can do I think 120hz?

[misty gyro]

Yeah 120

[untold forge]

Does anyone know what AMD Freesync is? My monitor has it. Also let me turn it on in my Xbox settings. What does it do?

[misty gyro]

It waits to refresh the screen until the GPU is ready to send a frame. It helps reduce screen tearing.

[fading wyvern]

I just ended up charging back

[steady fjord]

mine was delivered today

[fading wyvern]

It was a joystick if you were wondering was into elite dangerous

Thoughts on this monitor?

[errant edge]

X27q a bit more for much better quality

[rancid vessel]

Is Jlink a good brand to get a monitor from?

specifically this one, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B586WC5T/?coliid=I19L1E3MVC0KQF&colid=24J99RA5JZXUE&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

[errant edge]

X27q cheaper for much better panel, g27q same price for much better panel

[rancid vessel]

So what about this one, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085HP999M/?coliid=I1P50XJU3HLVFA&colid=24J99RA5JZXUE&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

[rancid vessel]

becaue I dont know what you mean by X27q and g27q 😂

[errant edge]

Hp x27q

Gigabyte g27q

[rancid vessel]

oh ok

thank you

[errant edge]

Yw

[fossil gust]

Protip for situations like this- if the shipping is delayed/doesn't show up on time, wait a couple days and contact support to ask for a partial refund for the inconvenience before just cancelling it completely

I've found if you're polite but firm with the customer support that the shipping delay is somehow an inconvenience for you it's pretty easy to get some $ back

Did this with both a GPU from Best Buy and my laptop from Dell

Got ~10% back on each one

[fading wyvern]

I contacted them 3 times over 6 months and was told that the product was still in shipping and I wouldn’t receive a refund, when I made the purchase it turns out I was ordering straight from the factory, a weird situation, never received the product and was never contacted about it again. I had to charge back since they wouldn’t refund me.

[fossil gust]

Huh

[fading wyvern]

🙂

Was at the start of the shipping crisis basically outa china were containers started costing a ton, they were waiting for enough people to order it before shipping it.

It was one bad experience, every other experience I’ve had with dell was pretty great. Their business division is super nice in the states

[junior cave]

Hey my laptop screen is ips 144hz its asus strix

I want another screen can i connect any screen or do i have to look for some specific things in monitor

[finite belfry]

Is there a difference between X27 q and X27 qc?

[old arch]

The c means curved and that is probably VA while x27q is a normal ips panel. Generally ips best overall pc use but VA sometimes better contrast & some other stuff. Rtings.com is good.

[finite belfry]

Hmm, I should have figured that one out lol… Rtings.com for comparison?

[quartz sandal]

Rtings or hardware unboxed are my favourite but they can only cover so much ofc

[brittle cypress]

Will this work?

Looking for a replacement for my LG monitor power cord

[sonic vapor]

Anyone have some really good 65"+ TV Deals?

[pallid crow]

Any recommendations for a 27" 1440p monitor? It will only be a secondary monitor so I ain't needing anything fancy

[quartz sandal]

what kind of budget?

[stoic flint]

should i get s3422dwg for$379.99?

[quartz sandal]

probably something lie this https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27-monitor-s2721ds/apd/210-axkp/monitors-monitor-accessories

[sonic vapor]

400-500, preferably closer to 400, but CAN stretch ~$50 over 500 if the quality of the TV is impeccably superb

[misty gyro]

That's low end stuff in that range for sure if you're looking at 4k. The good stuff for that size with 4k, decent HDR, response times for gaming, etc starts around $800 minimum.
Here's a couple entry level options that will get a decent enough experience, though: (assuming USD)

[sonic vapor]

Won’t be doing any gaming, just need to watch things on the tv

[misty gyro]

Take a look at this then, that extra $50 goes a long way https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/hisense-u6h-vs-insignia-f50-qled/33530/26847?usage=1&threshold=0.10

If you want to save the money or have a preference for that OS you can go for the insignia but I'd go for the $500 hisense personally

[quartz sandal]

They look nice yeah

[twin shell]

Is this a good monitor can’t really find much on it

[hexed bramble]

Hi can someone help me find a good maybe 27 inch monitor

I'd probably want an 1080p or 1440p

My budgets about 300-400$ CAD

[native wave]

is this a good monitor?

https://deals.dell.com/en-us/productdetail/fkq9

[spring cloud]

Is the Gigabyte M28U Arm good ?

[misty gyro]

The M28U is good if you need 4k at that size for some reason, and I imagine the arm is an improvement in ergonomics.

[wild plank]

Anyone know what would be the best type c hub / dock for a Getac s410?

[maiden oasis]

Looking for a 27" 144-165Hz 1ms monitor approx. $225, any suggestions?

[small warren]

G27Q iirc gets very close to that @maiden oasis

[errant edge]

X27q is $190 rn

[misty gyro]

1ms is just marketing btw, there's plenty of "1ms" monitors with absolutely trash response and ghosting

[maiden oasis]

in another Disc someone mentioned "ViewSonic VX2718-2KPC-MHD 27 Inch WQHD 1440p 165Hz", any thoughts?

[errant edge]

I stand by the x27q and g27q reccs

[maiden oasis]

where is X27q for $190?

[quartz sandal]

X27q is 221 for me, although at that stage I'd pay 8$ more for the g27q

[tepid summit]

Is this a good monitor for 5 5600x and a Aorus 6750 xt

Check this out on @Newegg: AORUS FI32Q-X 32" QHD 2560 x 1440 (2K) 240 Hz / OC 270 Hz HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, Audio FreeSync Premium Pro (AMD Adaptive Sync) Gaming Monitor https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824716007?Item=N82E16824716007&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-24-716-007-_-11232022

[misty gyro]

Yes but 3 notes, that one is overpriced still, 6750 might struggle to get 240/270 fps at 1440p in games, and the vast majority of people can't see any difference between 144 and 240Hz

[tepid summit]

Do you have any recommendations. I am going to be doing both console and pc gaming

[misty gyro]

Which console?

because PS5 doesn't do 1440p anyway

[tepid summit]

Xbox series x

Does the monitor need to have HDMI 2.1

[misty gyro]

It'll be limited to 1440p 120Hz for console anyway so 2.0 is technically fine

[tepid summit]

Ohhh ok

Yall know any good time to sell a monitor?

I bought a 1440p monitor ages ago even though my gpu can only handle 1080

[tribal citrus]

I have question if I'm in market for new monitor should I spend little extra money and get a high hz monitor or just buy a side grade I've been looking at a few so Gigabyte M27Q-X is 240Hz my monitor rn is 170Hz

I was looking at either G27Q or M27Q-X or FI27Q.......or FI32Q-X it can OC to 270Hz

[quartz sandal]

Don't bother upgrading imo

[tribal citrus]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012015?Description=G27Q&cm_re=G27Q-_-24-012-015-_-Product&quicklink=true just get this then?

[quartz sandal]

I would yeah, or hp x27q for 170?

[tribal citrus]

Okay

Or should I get a 1080p 360hz monitor? Wolf posted in tech deals

Is high refresh good for like call of duty ganes

[fading wyvern]

Just keep your current monitor

[misty gyro]

It'll only matter if you're playing in the top 0.01% of gamers and you'd probably be on an eSports team by then

[tribal citrus]

No I am but I wanna buy another monitor for my setup do I didn't know if I should aide grade or just upgrade

[frank reef]

Could somebody tell me which one of these monitors will be best for gaming and media?

[wary fulcrum]

I was looking into getting a new monitor that’s 1440p and my budget was $300. I kept seeing the Samsung G5 Odyssey on sale, are they worth it or something else is?

[errant edge]

X27q or m27q-x in #tech-deals

[wary fulcrum]

Guess have to go with the first one since the m27q is oos on Newegg, thanks

[frank reef]

Anyone has any experience or can give me some feedback on which of these monitors will provide the highest quality of gaming/movies?

There’s a great deal on a amazing monitor on Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-M27Q-Monitor-Display-Response/dp/B09VH8B1XW/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?

I’d highly suggest just picking it up instead

Is this worth buying?

[ocean forum]

I just moved to a 28inch monitor and the sensitivity feels so slow

does bigger screen affect sensitivity?

[old arch]

Possibly. Higher res sure does though. Btw, 28 is 16.6667% higher than 24 for example.

I played on 1080p 17inch before and now 1440p 27inch so ye I see a huge difference

I already have a 1080p 144 one but its pretty meh I just got it cause it was cheap

X27q g27q m27q m27q-p if you want 27in

X32 m32q are the two main ones for 32in I suggest

[tribal citrus]

Do 0.5ms monitors exist

it's marketing

some will market it, it's never actually 0.5ms color to color pixel response time

found a pretty good deal

6650xt more of a 1080p card but 1440p will be nice if you ever upgrade

It'll do 1440p well enough in all but the most demanding games

ok we good, restarting helped

this is how it looked tho

very weird

That's weird as heck

Even weirder that it's fine?? Haha

seems to be a gpu thing?

[rancid vessel]

Would anyone know why the right side of my main monitor tends to flicker black?

[tribal citrus]

@misty gyro can you see 4k on a monitor?

Like when playing video game

[rancid vessel]

no just when im on my browser or desktop

[tribal citrus]

@small warren what monitor you use in your pc

[small warren]

In my pc? A tiny old mini cute one

[tribal citrus]

No like what you game

[small warren]

FV43U

I don't game with it, I work

Unfortunately

Might game with it after I finish pc modding tho

[tribal citrus]

Ew work

[small warren]

Go back to work

[tribal citrus]

Nah

I'm off

I might buy 4k monitor soon

[small warren]

Seems not smart

[tribal citrus]

[small warren]

Ok

[tribal citrus]

I'm gunna buy gpu that's able to run it

[small warren]

Ok

[tribal citrus]

Just a 6600 is gunna run it temporarily

I gotta also buy some monitor stands

Wanna start to get my gaming setup completed

[tribal citrus]

Wait how do you work on it if it so big

[small warren]

What you mean

It's like 4 screens in one

I can do lots with it

[tribal citrus]

Idk I feel like it would be to big like with multi monitor setups each monitor has one thing or are you doing that just having multiple things pulled up or just 1 big thing

[small warren]

I can partition the screen into different sections

So it's like 4 screens

[tribal citrus]

oh

[misty gyro]

Depends on the size of the monitor and viewing distance. Unless I'm within about 1.5 feet of the screen I can't tell the difference between 1440p and 4k at about 32 inches. Larger than that I'd go 4k but smaller there's no point for gaming.

[tribal citrus]

Yea 32 inches

[mystic oracle]

What is a good 1440p 240hz monitor? Looking to pair with a 3080 and a 3600x.

yeah that's it

that's the one I think is really good, but I'll have a quick look for others that might be at a better price

nah that's the cheapest rn

don't wait on it, I hear it goes out of stock very often

[tribal citrus]

I'm so upset my monitor went up in price

But only like $50

[tribal citrus]

@misty gyro what do you daily run as a monitor

Also does more then 1 monitor hooked to gpu affected out the gpu performs

[misty gyro]

I've got a G27Q (1440p 165hz 27") and some 1080p 75hz I got for free.
Yes having a secondary affects things but only a little, nothing noticeable. There's a common bug for Nvidia where having the secondary locks the GPU to the highest power state.

[tribal citrus]

Oh cool

[novel merlin]

Does everyone have a crappy 1080p 75hz monitor as their secondary lol

[sage trail]

mines 1200p60

[quartz sandal]

Mines my old 1080p 144hz monitor

[tribal citrus]

Mines 3440x1440p 144hz

[novel merlin]

Why such a nice monitor as a secondary

[tribal citrus]

I don't like how wide it is and some games were actually weird with the custom res

Also I like IPS on my games

[novel merlin]

I don't like big or curved monitors tbh

[tribal citrus]

Yea I liked it for a while until now

So I'm just gunna use it for discord then use my 27 inch as secondary and get 4k monitor for gaming

[tribal citrus]

@small warren here you go i found perfect monitor

[fading wyvern]

meanwhile both my monitors are 1440p 165hz

[tribal citrus]

That's good too

[surreal quarry]

mine is 1440 170 hz fight me!

lol

i saw that live

[winter lichen]

thank you by the way, I appreciate it. Have a nice day!

[small warren]

[mystic oracle]

wrong account but still thank u

also haha yeah u were right, I didnt check discord until just now and yeah, its out of stock. I'll wait until its back ig

[fading wyvern]

I got a overhyped view sonic gsync elite panel (with rgb accents)

[surreal quarry]

ohh with rgb

ok u beat me

[tribal citrus]

Is this in 4k

[fading wyvern]

Seems like it’s just a higher frame rate

[tribal citrus]

Hm

It's buttery wmooth

[fading wyvern]

Comparing gaming monitors is basically comparing business cards

[tribal citrus]

[errant flax]

I wanna see someone use 3 Samsung Ark monitors for a setup lmao.

Someone actually did it lmfao!

3x55in Samsung Ark monitors.

[small warren]

Ark is excessive imo

Even one screen

I would spend that much on a main living room screen instead lol

[errant flax]

Lmao, true but look at that.

3 of them.

The kid must love racing sims.

To spend 6k on it.

[small warren]

6K, plus the rig and PC

Probably at least another 6

[errant flax]

Yes, most likely.

Don't forget the chair.

[small warren]

To drive that much screen be crazy

[errant flax]

Those are like 1k right?

[small warren]

Yes the rig

[errant flax]

6+6+1=13, so about 13 grand damn.

[small warren]

Sorry, they call sim chairs with the wheels rigs too

Lol

[errant flax]

13 grand, I could make a fully decked out pc, get a chair, table, all the stuff I'd need then and then some and have a few grand left over.

[small warren]

At least with sim rigs there is a notable gain with every dollar more

[errant flax]

Really?

[small warren]

Well yeah, like everything it saturates to a point but that mountain is pretty high

[errant flax]

I wonder if there is a motorcycle sim rig.

[small warren]

Like

Peak, sim

[errant flax]

I am not a big fan of cars, makes me motion sick.

[small warren]

Would be just under full motion

Full motion is fun, but not for hardcore

But full motion you can keep going and going to make it more and more real

Be it spatial audio, VR, actuating parts for vibration or rotation

Better wheels

OOF

Like that Bentley sim wheel they recently put out that's based on the real deal

[errant flax]

....

[small warren]

Proper high torque direct drive

Better pedals than just load cell

Ambient lighting, and enclosure

The list goes on and on and on and on

[errant flax]

To much detail.

But geez.

[small warren]

Well all in the pursuit of near lifelike experience

So it adds up

Full flight sim cockpits go this deep too

A whole cockpit with every button

and the buttons actually work

[errant flax]

Felix to much detail.

But I understand now.

[small warren]

Simulation is really expensive lol

[errant flax]

https://tenor.com/view/vr-run-vr-battle-vr-vr-headset-vr-treadmill-gif-25719083

[small warren]

Yea haha

That sorta crazy stuff

https://tenor.com/view/aeroteca-flight-simulator-mooney-simuteca-barcelona-gif-17964898

[errant flax]

I will legit vomit in that thing if I went in.

I have horrible motion sickness on anything except for Motorcycles.

[small warren]

Ah you don't like the idea either than lolol

I would probably pocket most of 13K if I built a sim rig

If I were to take my existing sim rig I definitely would take at least 6K

Maybe even less if I count VR but VR doesn't work for every sim game

[errant flax]

If I had 13k to spend on a setup, I'd first max out my rig, then proceed to work on the finer details of my space like a custom desk, aligning the walls with dark vertically aligned wood planks with reflective metal behind it exposed so that my disco ball can bounce the light off of them, a monitor mount etc.

Essentially, max out my engine, and refine the frame kind of deal.

[small warren]

I'd probably do ITX

Then mount the monitor to the seat

And make the seat portable somehow

Portable sim rig makes great for storing

Then you don't have this big unsightly metal in the middle of a room all the time

[errant flax]

One of these days, I want to recreate something similar to this creature as a PC case that can house 3 fully decked out systems in Metal.

Recreate that with a bionic feel like that Leviathan PC Case.

[small warren]

That case was a trophy

I don't know where I'd put that

I'd have to tailor the room to fit the shark

[errant flax]

xD.

[errant flax]

In my case, I'd have the creature positioned so that it looks dead at you when you walk into my work space.

And use long cable covers to route the cables over to the desk at the other side.

[small warren]

Seems expensive

Just leave it on the desk lol

[errant flax]

I am refering to this btw.

[small warren]

Fiber cables cost a bomb

[errant flax]

Which I plan to make about 4-5 feet long.

[small warren]

I have a few fiber cables, dp, hdmi 2.1

Some 10m long

There were all like, a minimum 150$

[errant flax]

R.I.P.

[small warren]

It might be a bit cheaper now but yeah, good cable isn't cheap lol

Especially the DP one

[errant flax]

xD, I am that one guy who travels with his pc and 50ft Cat8 ethernet around the world.

[misty gyro]

cat8... why

It's so fragile

[small warren]

A big creature for a case wouldn't make for good carrying

Kekw

[errant flax]

It is? I never had problems with it.

[misty gyro]

Must be a short one

[small warren]

I didn't even know cat 8 exists

[errant flax]

Oh, I don't plan on moving that around houses once made.

[small warren]

Cat 5e is as good as it gets in Australia

[errant flax]

It's more of a make then leave it until maintenance is needed kinda thing.

[misty gyro]

It's got very few actual use cases, most datacenters that need that level of speed just use fiber

[errant flax]

No problems with my 50ft or 100ft.

[small warren]

Yeah I just use fiber lolol

No fiber to the house tho

At this rate Australia will be fully 5g before we see fiber speeds anywhere

[errant flax]

I can't remember, what are some monitors you guys would recommend that are 4k, 32in or bigger and high refreshrate with good color?

[misty gyro]

Just move to south korea. Everyone from there is surprised when I tell them most homes can't get more than 1Gb because a lot them get 5+ lol

[small warren]

FV43U, M27Q/Q-X/Q-P

FI32Q

Altho expensive

G27Q

For 4K I only suggest the one as it's a good qled

And bigger than 32" so it makes sense for that reso

[errant flax]

FV43U?

[small warren]

Ye

[errant flax]

Mhmmm, ngl may be a bit to big for me.

[small warren]

If you want better than that, I believe PG42UQ

[errant flax]

What would you recommend for a multi-monitor setup?

I can realistically make use of up to 3 monitors.

[small warren]

3 m27q's

[errant flax]

left, top, and center.

of left, center, right.

[small warren]

I'd do 3 left, center, right

Then use surround to bind them

So one big widescreen

At 144+Hz

[errant flax]

Because I've been multi-tasking more lately and i've noticed that having another monitor or two would be nice,

[small warren]

A second monitor can be really nice for that

Or one with PBP

[errant flax]

PBP?

[small warren]

Picture by picture

Splits one screen into two inputs

[errant flax]

Ahhh I see.

[small warren]

So you have essentially 2 screens side by side

[errant flax]

I think for me, 1 curved monitor and 2 flat ones in portrait mode would be best.

Because I keep getting eye fatiuge reading the text towards the end of my screen.

what do you recommend for a curved monitor to be the center piece?

[small warren]

Oh man, with a 4090? I wouldn't know

I'm not familiar with a good 4k curved screen

[errant flax]

ooof.

[errant flax]

What about 1440p?

Just curious.

[small warren]

G27QC, M27QC or G7 if you find it on a really good sale (normal price is disgusting)

G7 for like, maybe 450? If you find it

You'll not be using a 4090 properly if you get one tho

1440p is a bottleneck for that card

[errant flax]

True.

A lot of Gigabyte and MSi I noticed.

[small warren]

Truly a coincidence

Gigabyte has just had a really good run of panel choices the last year or so

Oh, you could do that QD-OLED maybe

That's a 34"

Very very expensive tho

[errant flax]

Would curved solve the eye fatiuge I keep getting?

[small warren]

North of 1K iirc

Not really no

[errant flax]

Nvm then.

[small warren]

A screen with great clarity >>>> curved for good viewing

[errant flax]

Gotcha.

[small warren]

Not really

Depends on the layout

If you want a 2nd and 3rd screen just for standard stuff I would go cheap with them

Like, G24F 2

Or G241/G242

Hell not even that

Just some basic old 1080p lol

Would only go with 3 premium screens if you plan to lace them for multi-screen games

[errant flax]

got it.

[tribal citrus]

I want this

[gilded aurora]

soo

[clear temple]

https://youtu.be/Z07iPLJuDI0

this video says adding a heatsink will reduce burn in

wont adding a fan help even more , if a fan will reduce the risk of permenant burn in on a oled , i think it will worth the extra noise

[tribal citrus]

🤔

[misty gyro]

Fans also have these nasty habits of making noise and dying randomly

[sage trail]

plus, the inclusion of a fan would further lead to the reliance on said fan

resulting in smaller heatsink

[visual pilot]

An endgame monitor that was too cheap to add a bigger heatsink so it'd be passive?

[rancid vessel]

Does anyone know why my main monitor flashes black when im on discord on my second monitor?

[misty gyro]

Let me guess, Nvidia GPU? That's a common bug related to mixing refresh rates

[rancid vessel]

yes, so is there no real fix?

[misty gyro]

There's a few things you can try but I've never been able to solve it myself. Some people have more luck.

First thing to try is setting each monitor to a multiple of 60

[normal mulch]

What’s the opinion on the AW2521H 360hz for $200

[misty gyro]

Ok monitor but a bit much for a 1080p

[normal mulch]

Got a fellow trying to liquidate. He bought it and can’t return. I was offered it for $200. I’ve gone 1440p so it’s no use to me. Would you think someone would buy it at $325?

Scratch the $325, looks like eBay says 225-250. I’ll pass.

[rose furnace]

anyone know anything about this monitor? https://www.amazon.com/Sceptre-E205W-16003R-Frameless-Speakers-Metallic/dp/B07743412C?th=1 i was trying to vesa mount it but when i took off the monitor stand it had some metalic piece blocking the vesa mount i was trying to attach

[severe dirge]

This is a thing?

[fossil gust]

so I just got a new 1440p monitor and it's supposed to e 165hz but only shows 60 or 120

Using a displayport cable

When I try to set a custom resolution in Nvidia control panel the monitor says no DP signal

Surely my 3060ti supports 1440p165, no?

I guess it could be the cable but I'm using the cable that came in the box

Just tried it at 144hz and still says no DP signal

[fading wyvern]

Seems a bit odd, usually I’ve found that in the nvidia settings window under display resolution you’ll need to set it to 1440x2560 under “pc resolution” instead of “ultra hd” or something like that, on a phone right now so can’t be too specific

[fossil gust]

yeh im under the pc section

[fading wyvern]

Oh weird, any chance you have another cable to try

Or turn down the bit rate maybe

Could also be a setting in the monitors menu, sometimes they limit it to 120 and consider the higher hz a overclock

[fossil gust]

I unfortunately only have hdmi cables and my secondary monitor is hdmi

*and my gpu is 1 hdmi 3 DP

[fading wyvern]

Swap the monitor cables for a sec to check if it fixes it

Might be a bad cable

[fossil gust]

from what I can tell I should be within thr bandwidth spec for dp1.2 but it's close

[fading wyvern]

If you have no luck with any of those I got nothing

[fossil gust]

On HDMI it now shows 144 in the nvidia dropdown

lemme try custom to 165

[fading wyvern]

Seems like it’s bandwidth then, probably a bad dp cable

[fossil gust]

this doesn't work

[fading wyvern]

Im kinda convinced it’s a bad cable, was the hdmi for a 1080p panel?

[fossil gust]

I used te hdmi that came with the montor

it came with both

[fading wyvern]

Oh.

[fossil gust]

I have another hdmi cable I can try

it was $0.08 though

[fading wyvern]

Nothing in the monitors settings about refresh rate

[fossil gust]

nope

[fading wyvern]

Yeah man all I can say is turn down bit rate to like 8bit color and double check it’s not on ultra hd 1440p. I got nothing.

[fossil gust]

yeah already 8bit

8 cent amazon cable is 144hz like the included hdmi

I think il just contact Dell tomorrow

[fading wyvern]

Sounds like a plan

Any chance it comes up in display settings on windows with like 164.99999?

[fossil gust]

ok wtf

[fading wyvern]

No way

[fossil gust]

plugged the DP back in

[fading wyvern]

Oh thank god

[fossil gust]

165 is there now

[fading wyvern]

Maybe it wasn’t seated properly? Idk

[fossil gust]

I had already unplugged it and plugged it back in..

[fading wyvern]

Welp congrats on the new monitor

[fossil gust]

ty

[tribal citrus]

i swear to god i cant tell diffrnce from 170Hz to 60HZ

[visual pilot]

are you getting 170fps though

[fading wyvern]

Drag a window around

[tribal citrus]

Haha

[tribal citrus]

Depends on game

[clever coyote]

I got a question i bought a alienware m14x r2 but the screen is broken and i found replacements but i can choose between a glossy or mat panel

There is no price difference between the two

And originaly it came with a glossy one

[edgy mesa]

hey im using 2 monitors and the second one is like grey... can anyone help me figur ethis out? i see a lot of similar problems online but no real solutions.

[tribal citrus]

is this good price if current price is $650 new

[misty gyro]

That's the price it was on sale last week. If it comes with everything and isn't damaged, open box isn't a bad deal.

[silver kiln]

have the m28u version cant complain

[tribal citrus]

I missed my window bc I was waiting for confirmation

Bc my judgment is sometimes off

[errant flax]

Does a 4k 240hz monitor exist?

[surreal quarry]

yes, samsung odyssey neo g8

[errant flax]

I see. And damn, $1300 price tag.

$1500 without discount.

[misty gyro]

Well ofc it's basically the highest main specs you can get right now, almost nothing has 4k at that speed.

[errant flax]

What's the 1440p bottleneck with a 4090 when paired with a 13900K?

Like 240 frames?

[errant edge]

the cable

[quartz sandal]

depends on the game

as always

https://youtu.be/5GneP6MuVOk

[misty gyro]

You're more likely to hit a monitor or cable/port limit than any engine or hardware limit pairing a 13900k with a 4090

After all DP 1.4 can only do 1440p 240hz

[quartz sandal]

fps isnt to do with hz tho

[misty gyro]

Sure, but it has everything to do with how many of those frames actually can be seen

[quartz sandal]

Well yes but fps over hz is still very beneficial

[misty gyro]

To a point yes. It's good to keep lows above the refresh rate so it looks smoother and dips are less noticeable.

[quartz sandal]

Well more than that but with higher fps you get a more up to date frame shown on screen

[old arch]

It'll be neat when lows of 3070 + 12400 beat the avgs of my 1080 & then some. 🤣 Sure "240hz" is better, but 165hz on the x27q & Asus have been pretty solid so far.

[errant flax]

I see, I see.

[fading wyvern]

You’ve learned the way of fps vs hz well

[quaint hollow]

what the cheapest monitor please help

[misty gyro]

The cheapest monitor is the one at Goodwill for $10

[surreal quarry]

cheapest one on Newegg https://www.newegg.com/p/0JC-0004-00HT8?Item=9SIAAJ2AJ49254&Description=monitor&cm_re=monitor-_-9SIAAJ2AJ49254-_-Product&quicklink=true

[honest crane]

Hey guys, im getting lag on MW2 on a 1660 super and 1440p monitor, should I downgrade my monitor?

I refuse to get a new gpu at this time

[quartz sandal]

As an avid esports player ofc

[quartz sandal]

Try running it at 1080p yeah and use low settings

Also what cpu do you have? This is more important if you're paying warzone

Also you can try use fsr

[honest crane]

9600kf

Also my monitor looks awful in 1080

[quartz sandal]

Yeah not native res can do that

Try fsr on 1440p and all low/off settings

Also try overclocking your gpu

[restive carbon]

Why does my m27q make sudden click noises, it’s mostly in the night when I turn it off.

The only thing I could find is that it could be due to cold temps and it has been pretty cold lately 40-50 F

[fading wyvern]

hopefully it’s nothing

[errant flax]

Question, is there anyway to connect my laptop's display to my desktop to be used like a 2nd monitor?

[misty gyro]

No*

*There's apps (paid usually) that can allow casting but the latency is awful

[misty gyro]

Get a monitor with a VESA compatible mount and buy a VESA stand that allows rotation

Monitors that come with that feature are expensive, that's cheaper usually

That's a personal choice

Personally I'd do no more than 24"

[old arch]

Many not too cheap monitors can rotate on their own stand also. 👍

[misty gyro]

What will it be used for?

Any monitor should do then

Just make sure it's VESA compatible

[maiden wedge]

okie

[old arch]

Some stands are pretty cheap. A lot of $90ish monitors might not have rotating stand builtin.

[visual pilot]

Or just look for swivel within the product description

[languid escarp]

hey y'all, I need some help choosing between some monitors

1. LG 27GN800-B for $180

2. LG 27GP38B for $200

3. LG GL850-B for $200

4. Viewsonic VX2758-2KP-MHD for $150

[visual pilot]

27gp38-b seems to be the best option here

Even though it's cheaper, I don't really want to suggest the ViewSonic panel due to the overshoot

Out of the three lg panels, the prices are close enough to just look at performance, and in that case, 27gp38-b seems to just edge out with slightly better color accuracy and response time

[languid escarp]

are they similar enough that I wuldn't really notice the difference between those 3?

[visual pilot]

Although 27gn800-b seems to still be a fine option if you'd like to save the 20$

[languid escarp]

well I'm gonna try and talk each person down $20 lol

[visual pilot]

It's a bit worse color accuracy, shouldn't be noticeable unless you're the kind of person that does artwork that need color accuracy

[trail lantern]

I picked up this one for a bigger screen forcwork

389940 GIGABYTE 34" LED G34WQC A MONIT/G

It was$299 at microcenter when i got it

[verbal spear]

u guys know why my chrome keeps going to my main monitor whenever i play game?

[misty gyro]

It probably triggers a reset when switching modes or resolution. Windows 11 was supposed to solve problems like that, it better remembers window position on multi monitor disconnects.

[silver kiln]

How long does a dp cable last? Built new pc monitor kept blinking between black and regular screen on normal task.

[misty gyro]

Depends on the build quality of the cable. I've used the same one for years but I've seen them die in months.

[unborn hazel]

I need some 2k 144-170hz ips monitors recommendations
Im thinkin of Gigabyte M27Q since I already bought the G32QC thinkin ill be good with the VA but nah, also 32in is alot for me. What do you guys think?

[errant edge]

m27q-p, m27q, g27q, x27q

[severe dirge]

Aw, I love my G32QC

[unborn hazel]

it is one of the best if not the best monitor ive ever had but VA panel isnt my thing at all

[severe dirge]

Yeah, it's a bit funky sometimes with moving reds and blacks, but beyond that, I enjoy it.

[unborn hazel]

also can someone tell me the difference between the first 3?

[unborn hazel]

EXACTLY I JUST CANT WITH IT

[severe dirge]

G27q is the "budget" version of the m27q. Still really good monitor. G27q is 144hz while the m27q is 165hz with kvm.

I have 2 g27q and I don't regret my choice.

I also have the x27q and can say it's right there with the g27q, just has the portrait mode base and higher refresh rate.

[unborn hazel]

I see, is the g27q much better than the g32qc in response time? Playing hades (fast game and has alot of black color) with the g32qc is a nightmare

[severe dirge]

I experienced no issues with any color drag on the g27q like the g32qc

[misty gyro]

C models are curved and use a VA panel that's not as good as the IPS option (imo)

[unborn hazel]

Nice! thanks yall 🤝

[misty gyro]

VA has better contrast generally but IPS wins in everything else

[unborn hazel]

yea thats what I always hear

[fading wyvern]

Why isn’t there cheap qdoled yet

[drowsy fable]

What does it mean when the monitor is 165Hz/180Hz (OC)?

[errant edge]

you can oc the panel to 180hz by setting it manually

[drowsy fable]

So originally it is 165hz?

[errant edge]

yes

[drowsy fable]

Thx

[misty gyro]

Not that you're going to notice the difference between the two, except maybe some extra ghosting when overclocked if you're unlucky

[silent epoch]

[silver flare]

Here's my 32 inch TV that I got for Christmas.

[bright pond]

So currently I have a Dell 1440p monitor at 32in. But I’ll be getting a pc with a 4080 soon. I discovered going 4k would be nice at first but as new games come out to push the performance of the card…4k resolution will start having some diminishing returns with the gpu really struggling for great performance.

What would you guys recommend for a 1440p monitor that will really get the most out of the 4080s performance along with these specs.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080
Intel Core i9-13900K (24 Cores/32 Threads)
Cooler Master ML360R Liquid Cooler
MSI Pro Z790-A DDR5 WiFi Motherboard
32GB Kingston Fury RGB DDR5 5600MHz Memory (2x16GB)

I was thinking of going ultra wide

[fading wyvern]

Ultrawide would definitely be harder to run, what kind of games are you planning on playing? If you’re doing anything competitive it might just be worth it to stick to 1440x2560 and grab a high refresh rate 240hz monitor. Just be warned not many people will notice the difference between something like 170hz vs 240hz aka the more expensive option might be a bit useless

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/best/by-resolution/1440p-quad-hd-qhd I’d highly suggest looking through these options and then buying a Alienware qdoled if you have a grand to spend

the very first review soo far

hey rommy. watch

[fading wyvern]

I do like oled and lg

But for 100-200 more you could have samsungs anti burn in qd oled

[silent epoch]

mmm

well thats why its 150 nits 90 percent of the time

its the high nit moments that causes burn it

[fading wyvern]

True

[silent epoch]

im going to settle in your house just fine

[fading wyvern]

But you won’t

Qdoled is still superior just cuz of the fact it can hit peak brightness without the worry of burn in blah blah

But it’s nice to see lg coming out with a normal sized screen, 240hz oled must be amazing to look at

[wintry shadow]

Sony a80j or Lg c2 for ps5? Help

[small warren]

Ooo, I think that's a C2 win.
If it was the A90J tho I believe that one is supposed to be a lot better

[silent epoch]

https://gametyrant.com/news/pre-orders-open-for-the-new-spectrum-27-inch-qhd-oled-gaming-monitor

Only $650

Pre-orders are live

[misty gyro]

"Only"
But still that looks very nice as long as there's no firmware issues

[silent epoch]

It's a crowd funded project. As soon as it goes live, it will jump to over $1k.

[misty gyro]

Oh yes and the last crowd funded monitor went so well

[silent epoch]

Well....time to take a chance

[misty gyro]

OH it's actually the same company that did the last one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN5OmtfW2sw

TL:DR on that was just buy a M28U

[silent epoch]

I see....

Hardware unboxed is my go to source. Ill watch

The m28u might be my next monitor.

[misty gyro]

The longer version of the video included an in depth look at just how sketchy the company is. They delayed the monitor by several months and refused refunds for example. That's what prompted people to call them a scam and HUB got interested. It took 3 months and $1350 AUD to get the monitor, and that was after the launch.

[fading wyvern]

Probably better off paying the extra 350 and getting the monitor from lg right away it’s gunna be the same panel but if anything goes wrong I’m sure lg will be quite a bit better about it

[misty gyro]

Yeah who knows if their estimated launch date will be pushed back again by 6 months

Then once it launches another 3 months for the order to be fulfilled

[silent epoch]

Pre-order canceled lol

[tribal citrus]

oh no

[bright pond]

Ended up going with the AW3423DWF didn’t realize that Alienware released a newer model that was cheaper and better in a lot of ways.

[fading wyvern]

!!!!! Congrats on the best monitor

[surreal quarry]

this looks really juicy https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27gr95qe-b

looking forward to the rtings review i really want OLED lol

[raw ingot]

$999

oled cool but burn in

[fading wyvern]

It’s this review @raw ingot 👀

[silent epoch]

Oo

[silent epoch]

i would really like to get one with monthly payments

but this is the first gen. the later models would mostly likely tackle higher brightness with a lesser chance of burn in despite already advertised as being very low

[fading wyvern]

Eh

[small warren]

Meanwhile, in the QD-OLED corner

[silent epoch]

hm

expensive

[tribal citrus]

Why not just get IPS

[fading wyvern]

perfect blacks exceptional response times and true hdr

[eager sinew]

any good recommendations on cheap decent 4k monitors?

I was looking at this one: Dell S2721QS 27 Inch 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS Ultra-Thin Bezel Monitor, AMD FreeSync (HDMI, DisplayPort), VESA Certified, Silver

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-S2721QS-Ultra-Thin-DisplayPort-Certified/dp/B08DQWG3JG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=25C1FF4K94Z6Y&keywords=4k+monitors&qid=1673025594&sprefix=4k+monitor%2Caps%2C111&sr=8-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840

[warped sand]

Did they fix the burn in issue?

[misty gyro]

In one type of OLED yes

The rest of the types get a lot less than previous generations

[warped sand]

Which one?

[misty gyro]

I don't really remember perfectly but I think it was QD-OLED that has near zero burn in

It'll never go away as a problem completely, not without changing it fundamentally

[warped sand]

Only time can tell.

[warped sand]

https://www.roninfinitech.com/post/samsung-s95b-qd-oled-substantial-burn-in-3-months

[small warren]

Hm

This is

Concerning.

[tribal citrus]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-neo-g8-s32bg85 is this good vs m32U

this monitor is VA but i heard VA varies based on monitor

they also have G7

@silent epoch whats your opinion on mini LEDS in a monitor ik you guys talk about QLED and OLED OQ-LED

[silent epoch]

so...

to correct you

its QD-OLED

and then we have WOLED

[small warren]

You mean woah led

[silent epoch]

lol

[tribal citrus]

lol

[tribal citrus]

what the heck is WOLED

[small warren]

Woah led

[tribal citrus]

omg lol

idk i might just look into m32u

[silent epoch]

it stands for white organic light emitting diode

its the type of oled thats known to be very prone burn it

and then we have the QD-OLEd

that's quantum dot tech

the blue filter layer of whatever is more efficent and allows more light to go through

[tribal citrus]

Oh my this is to big

[silent epoch]

which in turn allows a brighter image than traditional WOLED

colors are more vibrant as well

qd-oled is the way

but the prices is disgusting

[tribal citrus]

well tbh I never seen or experienced these higher stuff so I think i'll just stick with IPS

[silent epoch]

oh and QLED is just a better version of LCD

[tribal citrus]

whats IPS then compared to QLED

[silent epoch]

qled has a better backlighting system which creates deeper blacks with a richer image i think

[tribal citrus]

well IG from a gaming standpoint what would be good

[silent epoch]

just get qd-oled

qled is not the best

[tribal citrus]

Well do that have like 32 size monitors with QD-OLED

And not curved

[silent epoch]

hm

google it

[tribal citrus]

https://www.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-MPG321UR-QD

this

newegg has nothing sadge

I was maybe thinking about scrapping my 2 monitors have to get a 4k monitor for gaming

[misty gyro]

Give it 6 months we're getting more competition

[misty gyro]

QD-OLED doesn't exist at that size yet but Samsung is in early production

[tribal citrus]

oh so can i just get M32U then for gaming at 4k

[misty gyro]

Yes, then you're not spending $1500 on a monitor too

[tribal citrus]

What about the G7 that's less money

[misty gyro]

Which G7, there's like 6

[tribal citrus]

https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/32-odyssey-neo-g7-4k-uhd-165hz-1ms-curved-gaming-monitor-ls32bg752nnxgo/

@misty gyro this one

newegg list as $999

G7 is 165hz while G8 is 240hz

[misty gyro]

You know that's VA right

[tribal citrus]

yea but someone said not all VA panels are the same'

[misty gyro]

True enough

In general VA has better contrast but IPS has better colors and color depth

[tribal citrus]

plus maybe HDR will make it look better

[tribal citrus]

yea I did switch back to my IPS bc it made stuff look brighter

but yea personally i might just stick with IPS

[misty gyro]

I really don't think it's worth the price difference, even for the better HDR

8.6 score in gaming vs 8.8 isn't worth $400

[tribal citrus]

yea

[gilded aurora]

Okay anyone know why whnever i open a new tab or full screen on my monitor on google chrome it freezes for a few secs then stops

[floral shoal]

is there a reason this is 20 dollars cheaper than

this one

seems like the first one is better at least to me

[errant edge]

I'd check pricing on g24f and g241 vs those two

[floral shoal]

gigabyte g24f?

[errant edge]

Yes

[floral shoal]

out of stock😵‍💫

my friend wants to get a new pc but is figuring out which monitor to get

[errant edge]

G24f 2

And g241?

[errant edge]

Have they bought the pc yet?

And are they building or buying a pre built

[floral shoal]

im trying to figure out what to build for them that’s why i’m trying to make him go for 120hz cause his budget is 1.5k

[errant edge]

I'll make a list, is 1.5k including just pc and monitor, or other things too

[floral shoal]

well i want to fit his pc with a 3080 it’s just i’m still quite new to pc building so im not 100% sure how realistic it’d be for him to play triple a titles at 160hz for that price

[errant edge]

Is he fine with a used gpu?

[floral shoal]

lemme see

[errant edge]

and is he using ethernet, or does he need wifi

last question, does he care about looks?

[floral shoal]

yeah he does care about looks, i’m pretty sure he’d need a wifi mobo

🤔

[errant edge]

kk

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3JRNwc

the monitor could be better, but the ones i normally recommend are out of stock rn

x27q, x32, g27q, m27q, m27q-p

[floral shoal]

yess m27q is the one i got

i can see how a new gpu will easily go over budget😵‍💫

[errant edge]

yeah, high 30 series and 6000 series prices have gone up

[floral shoal]

what made you deviate from an amd cpu?

[errant edge]

price to perf

5600 is same price for a bit worse performance

[floral shoal]

oooooh yeah i’ve heard that a lot

[errant edge]

if 5600 goes back down to $130 id go for that

[floral shoal]

dang so prices are going up again?

[errant edge]

moreso that theyre out of production now

since it's last gen

[floral shoal]

that’s true, at least it’s not as bad as the gpu shortage🙃

im gonna see what they think about a used gpu cause they’re taking forever to reply😪

[misty gyro]

Currently that "GPU shortage" is just because scalpers are still buying them all and struggling to resell at ridiculous prices

If you go in a physical store like microcenter they'll have plenty

[floral shoal]

very true

so he says he could buy an ethernet cable and that he’s okay with a used gpu

[misty gyro]

It was rather amusing seeing the scalpers trying to return 100 3080s before the return window closed because they couldn't sell them

[floral shoal]

they deserved it😪

[misty gyro]

I saw Newegg refusing some of the returns too lol

[floral shoal]

that’s good hopefully it makes people less likely to try scalping in the future

[small warren]

@silent epoch

[silent epoch]

[sonic vapor]

GUYS! What is the absolute BEST and BIGGEST TV that $800 can buy? More importantly, what mixture of Deep Color, Response Time, and other premium features + General Size would be the optimum mixture for $800?

[tribal citrus]

they tried haha

[fading wyvern]

if we’re going off size alone a decent throw and bright 1080p projector would technically be the biggest, but let’s see. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hisense-75-class-u6h-series-quantum-uled-4k-uhd-smart-google-tv/6505546.p?skuId=6505546

75inch older but well reviewed Hisense

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/hisense/u6h

[pure kraken]

can someone point me in the right direction how to download/install the profile rtings website gives for my monitor?

[fading wyvern]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/learn/how-to-calibrate-your-monitor-settings

It goes over icc a bit from what I glimpsed

[sonic vapor]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-75-class-up7300puc-led-4k-uhd-smart-webos-tv/6517511.p?skuId=6517511 How does this stack up?

[pure kraken]

thank you

[fading wyvern]

Here’s a direct comparison https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/lg-up7000-vs-hisense-u6h/22979/33530?usage=1&threshold=0.10

Basically the Hisense decimates it if it’s tldr

[sonic vapor]

I see

Basically I'm using this TV as a PC Monitor

BUT am not playing games on it, rather just using it to watch shows and have easier accessible content

[fading wyvern]

Ah it’ll be perfectly fine for that it’s even has decent hdr. Did notice a small asterisk, looks like it does hdmi 2.0 input instead of 2.1 but that’ll be fine for 4k 60hz

[sonic vapor]

Do we have any other TVs?

I don't know what to look for in a good TV

[tribal citrus]

Would a tv be worth it to watch stuff on vs a monitor

[fading wyvern]

Depends

[sonic vapor]

I know I want a big 4k tv

But i don't know what makes one good

I don't know what separates good from not good

[fading wyvern]

Built in decent speakers and good distance help with watching experiences

[sonic vapor]

Or what's good and what's best

and what price to price is good

[fading wyvern]

Okay so there’s a bunch of technologies that are out, basically top tier atm is qdoled (quantum dot oled) and oled (LGs version)

[sonic vapor]

I see I see

Thank you for teaching me

[fading wyvern]

They are both excellent in every way but the lg has a minor burn in issue

Samsungs qdoled is basically claiming to fix that

The tv I linked is a good budget qd led screen

Aka older tech but it use to be top of the line

Oleds and qdoleds have the advantage of having perfect blacks where everything else just doesn’t

You could read more about your options on rtings if you don’t want my haphazardly typed on my phone explanations

[sonic vapor]

That old Hisense is quantum dot led?

And no worries at all I appreciate your expertise

[fading wyvern]

Yeah it’s quantum dot led, a huge array of pixels that have their own little backlight zones

So contrast and hdr will look great on it

[sonic vapor]

holy crap

[fading wyvern]

Not as good as oled or qdoled

[sonic vapor]

are there any good qdoleds?

for $800

[fading wyvern]

No

[sonic vapor]

damn

[fading wyvern]

Besides that monitor

[sonic vapor]

what's the starting price on that

[fading wyvern]

Oh god

[sonic vapor]

qdoled tvs

[fading wyvern]

One sec

[sonic vapor]

like 4k?

[fading wyvern]

Like 1-2k probably

[sonic vapor]

oh snap

any good 1k ones?

I have 200 to sprea

spare

[fading wyvern]

For a 60 inch prob

Sec

[sonic vapor]

oh dang

60 doesn't cut it

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm looking for a crazy nice 75"

But also might want to save money

have any good recommendations for the $500 range?

[fading wyvern]

Eh that’s super budget range

[sonic vapor]

hmmm I see

Well what about those $260 4k tvs?

Are those a joke, in your experienced eyes?

[fading wyvern]

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/budget

They probably aren’t very good, I’d look through rtings list before choosing anything

[sonic vapor]

hmmmm

okok

so how about the 600 or 700 range

[misty gyro]

Yes they are a joke. Barest minimum features to look good on the box but crap colors, motion blur is awful, only 60Hz so bad for monitors...

[sonic vapor]

I see now I see

Well what makes the difference between a "Real 4k tv and one of those?

And where can I get a *real * one for a pretty good price?

[misty gyro]

Better ones have better processing and filters. The majority of content is still not 4k so it has to be upscaled, sharpened, etc.

The link not darvan gave is a great one to look at. Here's the 75 inch version of their top pick for example, $798 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09YVTQ7JJ?tag=rtings-tv-r-amazon-20&ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

Best buy has it at the same price, much less likely to be smashed on delivery too

[sonic vapor]

Alrighty, I think I might get it then!

Is it really worth to get it though?

I am pretty happy with my current tv at 55in and 1080p

[misty gyro]

If you're happy with what you have, you don't need to upgrade. I only upgraded because my old TV was starting to fall apart. I ended up giving it to the babysitter as a tip lol.

[sonic vapor]

Niceeeeee

The thing is

I need a replacement

Selling the old tv for $800

But don’t know if I need to go all out

[misty gyro]

Then I'd go for a nice one if you're in the market.

[sonic vapor]

If I can have a few leftover bucks it’d be awesome

What other things could convince me? Is there something nice about the Hisense?

Would it last me a long time?

Just how amazing is the picture? Would we expect 8k tvs anytime soon?

[misty gyro]

They don't make them like they did even a decade ago. If you want it to last more than a couple years, and then the day warranty ends it breaks, then you need to spend a bit more than the cheap ones.

[sonic vapor]

Futureproofing questions I suppose

[misty gyro]

8k is still impractical. It exists but honestly most people can't tell the difference.

[sonic vapor]

I see I see

Are there any other hard reason that I can use to convince myself to get this tv

[misty gyro]

You'd need a screen the size of a home theater to tell between 4k and 8k

[sonic vapor]

Oh snap haha

[misty gyro]

Smart features are nice, no more using your ps5/Xbox as media players

[sonic vapor]

My media player is my main pc

[misty gyro]

I can vouch for Google tv since I have one

[sonic vapor]

11400f + EVGA 3070 FTW

So what else should I know about this TV?

What else can be said about it

[misty gyro]

If you're going to be gaming on it you'll want one that's 120Hz

Hang on I'll find another good one

[sonic vapor]

oh sweet

Thank you so much

The input lag response time is always so bad though

[misty gyro]

And not that crappy AI smoothed "120Hz" that's actually 60

[sonic vapor]

my current one is almost a full second

[small warren]

Haha I've tried that fake 120hz

True motion

You like seeing triple of everything?

That's the whole experience

60hz looks way better on those displays

[misty gyro]

Ok, this one is only 65" but it's one of the best in class and only $700 right now https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-65-class-6-series-mini-led-qled-4k-uhd-smart-google-tv/6470277.p?skuId=6470277

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/6-series-r646-2021-qled

It's rare that anything gets this high of marks across the board on that website

8.8 in movies is fabulous, 8.9 in gaming is unheard of outside OLED

[small warren]

QLED OP

[sonic vapor]

Holy crap this is epic

But Is it better than the Hisense

[sonic vapor]

Hold on, isn’t TCL notorious for being terrible?

[misty gyro]

Every brand makes good and bad

I have a similar model of the same brand, just the year before, and it's great. Occasional hiccups in the OS but that's any smart tv.

[small warren]

tcl is also the name of the pc community's favourite useless ram timing

[misty gyro]

Useless in DDR5 yeah

[small warren]

Fairly useless in ddr4 too

[misty gyro]

Debatable

[small warren]

Only consequential timings are the benefits, not the tcl itself

[sonic vapor]

i see

so what do you recommend

this 65" for $700 or the 75" for $800?

[small warren]

If the 65 is rated as highly as it is on rtings? It's doing really well for itself

Rtings is a pretty strong source for display recc's

[fading wyvern]

I’d go with the 65

[misty gyro]

Same

You said you wanted a few bucks leftover and you're happy enough at 55" so 65" will be great

[sonic vapor]

Alright alright thank you so much guys

I’m getting it right now

Thank you

[gilded aurora]

okay my monito rstill freezes

[silent epoch]

65 inch is ideal

[fading wyvern]
