old-monitors-and-tv

[chilly dawn]

Yeah it's $200

[chilly dawn]

Reinstalled my driver's and yeah, works fine now

[silent epoch]

The no HDR certification fine

Windows tells me the same thing

[chilly dawn]

LG didn't wanna pay to be certified

(Cheapos)

I remember reviews saying something about text being hard to read

Idk, looks fine to me

Maybe I don't sit close enough tho

[misty gyro]

That's usually solved with a trip into the microsoft cleartype menus anyway

[chilly dawn]

I do get not wanting to use it for productivity tho

Burn in scary ooo

[silent epoch]

People are spoiled

[misty gyro]

Well when you have a nearly static image displayed on parts of the screen 12 hours a day burn in is a real concern

[chilly dawn]

I only game for a few hours at a time

And normally it's always different games

As long as I use those pixel shift, thingies I should be fine

Screen cleaner something in the settings

[silent epoch]

Yep

Enable everything

[chilly dawn]

I'll do pixel cleaning after every game session or something

It is weird seeing a game with this much motion clarity

[chilly dawn]

People who just test high end tech all day I assume

[silent epoch]

waogh woagh...dont

its automatic

its every 4 hours of use

[chilly dawn]

There's a thing that'll let me do it manually

Says it takes 10 minutes

[silent epoch]

dont...youll reduce the panel's life

[chilly dawn]

Ah

[silent epoch]

let it do it automatically

[chilly dawn]

Where would i set that

For options it's screen move, image cleaning and pixel cleaning

[silent epoch]

once you shut off the screen after more than 4 hours , it goes into pixel cleaning mode

[chilly dawn]

Ah so whenever I just turn off the PC and monitor it'll do it?

[silent epoch]

the monitor

so far i have 439 hours on my monitor...no problems yet

[chilly dawn]

Ah

So when I'm done, just turn it off as normal

And after 4 hours of being off, it'll do it?

[silent epoch]

youll see

no

sorry im not good at explaining

[chilly dawn]

And I'm not good at reading

[silent epoch]

so after 4 hours of run time, just before you shut off the screen you will see a prompt that tells you that pixel cleaning will begin. after that youre required to not turn it back on for at least 10 mins @chilly dawn

[chilly dawn]

Ah

So just every 4 hours of it collectively being on

Kinda catching on them

Then

It'll just happen over time

[silent epoch]

Yeah... every 4 hours

[small warren]

Wtf

Fr?

[silent epoch]

Yes

[small warren]

So you have to stop every 4 hours

[chilly dawn]

Well

[silent epoch]

You want burn in? 👀

[small warren]

It won't let you ignore it?

[chilly dawn]

Tbh I don't think I game that long in one sitting anyways

Small price to pay for black to not look like gray

[silent epoch]

It only does it when you shut it off even after more than 4 hours has passed

[small warren]

Oh ok

I was thinking it interrupted everything

That would hardcore turn me off if it did that

[silent epoch]

That would suck lmao

[small warren]

Ya

[chilly dawn]

Middle of a game
"Hey moron we gotta turn your pixels off right now"

[silent epoch]

You get used to it

[chilly dawn]

I'll live

[silent epoch]

But damn can 4 hours go by like it's nothing

[chilly dawn]

If it means having a monitor this pretty

Worth

[silent epoch]

Yep

[chilly dawn]

So many games I wanna try on it

Especially stuff like older PS2 titles upscaled

[silent epoch]

Oh

That would be interesting

Playing 4:3

[chilly dawn]

That was the main thing I've been wondering about

It's probably why OLED came to ultra wide first

You have the luxury of ultra wide, but can do 16:9 or 4:3 when needed

And the border won't be that ugly grayish black

[silent epoch]

Yeah

[small warren]

Play windows

I meant to say windowed but windows ig

[silent epoch]

But right now there isn't one ultra wide I would jump on

[chilly dawn]

I just can't fit ultra wide

[silent epoch]

Either the pixel density is too little or it's a QDOLED panel that appears a bit grey in normal lighting conditions

[chilly dawn]

And that Alienware specs wise looks amazing, I just think their designs are dumb looking

[small warren]

QD OLED is still rubbish

[silent epoch]

It's not good yet

Would be dumb to get it now

LG knows what's up

So to speak

@small warren join the OLED Cult

[small warren]

No

QLED for life

[chilly dawn]

Now the hard part of getting a new monitor

Selling the old one

[small warren]

You'll never take me

[small warren]

[chilly dawn]

Gotta clean off the old stand that my monitor used to be on

List it on FB marketplace for like $150 and call it a day

It wasn't an amazing monitor

But a 1440p 165hz monitor would probably sell fairly quickly for that cheap

[small warren]

I alr have oled tho

[silent epoch]

In what form?

[small warren]

TV and mobile

[silent epoch]

Oh

The phone doesn't count

But he's already one of us with the TV

[small warren]

[chilly dawn]

Aren't most phones now a days OLED anyways

Lol

[small warren]

Yes

Well, no

But yes

[silent epoch]

Most of them

But if youre poor

LCD

[chilly dawn]

Hence why I say most phones

[silent epoch]

🤢

[small warren]

If we wanted to go by number it's lcd nokias

[chilly dawn]

I know the $50 Walmart prepaid phone isn't OLED

(shocker (

[silent epoch]

Ha

For sure

[small warren]

Haven't lived the 2000's life

[silent epoch]

I did

[small warren]

Nothing beats hearing your tv

[chilly dawn]

I grew up on a dookie Samsung I'll live

Old Samsung that was stepped on by my horse

Truely eventful

[silent epoch]

Bruh.....I remember the HDTV transition that happened in 2007 or O8 in the US. I was shocked how the ringing noise was gone 😂

It was soo quiet

[chilly dawn]

All I remember TV wise as a kid was always the hissing my TV had when I tried to watch VHS tapes

Glad that's gone

[small warren]

Bruv my old cathode box used to squeal

0ms input latency goes hard

[silent epoch]

We really improved alot

[small warren]

We also went way backwards

[silent epoch]

I'm grateful that older tech paved the way to what we have now

[chilly dawn]

Drop tv on foot
You're not walking for a month on said foot

[silent epoch]

In a few ways

But Micro-OLED will save us all!!!

[small warren]

That's what they said about QD OLED

[chilly dawn]

I curse you with early 2000s tv that looks like SpongeBob

[small warren]

[small warren]

SpongeBob was best viewed on a 2002 box

[silent epoch]

Felix.....you don't understand

[chilly dawn]

Too many buttons for a child to use this remote

2/10

[small warren]

I've been betrayed too many times to understand

[silent epoch]

It's the holy Grail of TV tech....it will be perfect in every way imaginable. I'm a strong believer

[small warren]

How can you not miss pitch shifting

[silent epoch]

It would make OLEDs now look and feel like trash

[small warren]

Watching SpongeBob in 3 octaves higher was something else as a child

[chilly dawn]

There will always be something better later, I'll appreciate the good I have now

[silent epoch]

After that what I want is holographic displays because they're nothing else beyond for 2d screens

[small warren]

I have been betrayed too many times by marketing lol

[silent epoch]

Why I didn't care about not buying the monitor

[silent epoch]

the 2030s will be great

[chilly dawn]

And realistically for some tech

Some things I can't imagine getting much better

(mainly smart phones)

[silent epoch]

Unless we have massive world collapse by then

[chilly dawn]

When your phone loads 30% faster, and that means it loads Twitter 0.09 seconds faster sure

[silent epoch]

Smartphones aren't going to get any better

They're boring

[chilly dawn]

Tech channels will run out of bad and cheap androids to make fun of

[silent epoch]

Just keep adding a better camera and people will buy whatever

[chilly dawn]

It's over

Apple will keep saying it's the best iPhone yet

[silent epoch]

Apple 🗑️

[chilly dawn]

Yet nothing fundamental has changed in 6 years

[silent epoch]

They don't innovate on anything. They just see what other companies found successful and take it as their own

I'll never get an iphone

[chilly dawn]

I get wanting an ecosystem or whatever

But like

YouTube ad block on mobile >

I rest my case

[silent epoch]

I always see people getting iPhones as having a sheep mentality.

Don't just buy it because of the brand. Smh

[silent epoch]

I've heard it's good, but it's not a must have or a need

[chilly dawn]

Yea

I'm using a pixel rn, Google shill

[silent epoch]

Me to

Google Pixel 6 pro

Well I'm not a shill

I just buy what works and is usually under appreciated

[kindred umbra]

I tried pixel for a bit but imo Samsung does android the best

Somehow Samsung has android more optimized than google themselves

[raw ingot]

I like samsung flagships

Older ones cuz they cheep

[orchid berry]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Monitor/G24F-2#kf
https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/monitors/gaming/vg248qg/techspec/

which on would yall reccomend

[kindred umbra]

Finally pulled the trigger on one

[raw ingot]

oooh nice

[kindred umbra]

its p nice

but i think ima swap it out the second they drop qd oleds in this size

[small warren]

QDOLED still has horrible burn in issues

You'll be waiting for a while for something that lasts like the 27GR

[kindred umbra]

i get protections plans for dirt cheap so i wouldnt have to worry about it and gen 2 qd oleds panels are supposedly a lot better

[small warren]

Wait for burn in testing before you say that

[kindred umbra]

fair

[small warren]

I haven't seen any on rtings yet that are qdoleds that hit the durability of next gen oled

[kindred umbra]

but i still get the protections for cheap enough for me not to worry about it

[small warren]

But that shouldn't be a thing you need to think about tho 💀

[kindred umbra]

i mean i hav the same mindset for that with woled

[small warren]

I buy anything not oled I don't think about burn-in protections

[kindred umbra]

its only like 15 ish bucks for 4 years

and i get a replacement or store credit

[small warren]

Even still, I wouldn't wager on it with the expectation to replace it in 4 years

I'd stick with what's reliable

[kindred umbra]

i feel ya

for me, the protection is basically a free upgrade for me

[small warren]

Both QLED and OLED now are at the point of widely usable

QD OLED needs to prove itself to meet that

[small warren]

I'd do this with the 27GR

Even in 4 years the GR will still be pretty extreme

[kindred umbra]

if woled were visually as nice as woled tvs or qd oled monitors i think i would be satisfied

i might jus be spoiled by my c2

[small warren]

C2 is perfectly worthy as a monitor

I nearly bought a C2

[kindred umbra]

if there were a 32in variant i would of prob gone down that route

[small warren]

Fair

[kindred umbra]

depending on how much they improve woled panels next year, i think within 2 years itll be perfect

[small warren]

Probably

[vital mica]

lg 24gn60r-b or gigabyte g24f

[small warren]

G24f 2

1000%

Specifically version 2 if it's available

It's g24f but better

[vital mica]

so gigabyte makes better monitor now that lg?

I'll check version 2 if it's available

whats the difference between version 1 and 2?

[small warren]

Revised panel

Much better panel

Over what was already good

[vital mica]

yeah version 2 is available

[small warren]

100% that is the 1080p king

What gpu is this for?

[vital mica]

I have a 4060

[small warren]

Yeah that works as a fine match

[vital mica]

okay thanks my dude I was planning on getting the LG one but saw the gigabyte on Facebook

[small warren]

No worries

[vital mica]

this thing is very cheap 8,990 pesos

I can get it below $150

[small warren]

I encourage you to look at reviews if you want a second opinion

But yeah it's supposed to be very good at a cheap-ish price

[vital mica]

okay thanks again bro

I can get it for $140 very nice deal

[small warren]

That's quite good yeah

[brave pivot]

Who is try this monitor
https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-32gq750-b-gaming-monitor

[trim brook]

ppi lovers

[silent epoch]

That sjust came out

Sadly it's IPS

😔

[sour ruin]

my monitor is flickering. i've restarted, checked the connections, switched cords with my other monitor and checked drivers. is my monitor dead?

It's only dark colors on the outside of that box

Only dark colors outside the box flicker. The blue background flickers on the darker right side, though you can't really see that in the video

k this is weird

After this I entered my pin and it stopped flickering

[silent epoch]

Hm

[raw ingot]

gpu drivers

i'd run ddu and reinstall

[boreal cloud]

what is a good monitor for 100 bucks or less

[small warren]

A used one

Reduce your pc budget to 700 and get a G24F 2 for 150

[boreal cloud]

oo

ok

[small warren]

@boreal cloud go back to the list I sent with the 6700xt, put 6700 in it instead, add G24F 2, done.

Good pair that, gpu and monitor

[boreal cloud]

yay

quick question

is the MSI G2412 good

[small warren]

Not g24f 2 good

But g241 and g242 are good

No idea if g2412 is a reiteration of those two above

[errant flax]

What are some good WQHD or UHD monitors around $300-400?

My monitor's film is starting to really show some wear so I am looking into replacing it.

Also considering just QHD if the price is good.

[surreal quarry]

honest a bit dated, could go https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/32gp850-b

oh both are old, but the lg scores a bit better

[boreal cloud]

found this monitor on newegg and was gonna get the G24F 2 but it’s out of stock so would this one be good too?

[errant flax]

..... $400??? Seems a bit pricy for QHD.

Are Innocn monitors okay?

[raw ingot]

no it's va, don't get it

innocn, not enough info on em

so i wouldn't gamble on em

hmm, wait

rtings has reviews of at least one innocn monitor

only for the 27MV2, a 2160p (4k) mini led monitor

it's great but $799, ouch

might as well get the lg ultragear oled

[boreal cloud]

alrighty

[surreal quarry]

I’ve never heard of that brand, so probably not

[boreal cloud]

does anyone know a budget $100+ 1440p monitor

[surreal quarry]

whats the max u are willing to spend

"budget" can mean many things to different people

[errant flax]

Gotcha.

[surreal quarry]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/table input your parameters into here. Then watch an actual NON-SPONSORED review by like monitors unboxed

i had the link right the first time I promise

[raw ingot]

$100 and 1440p don't go together, lower your expectations to 1080p

[boreal cloud]

180 maybe

[surreal quarry]

yeah thats not gonna happen unless u go look on ebay

[boreal cloud]

yeah im ready to buy 1080p but if the option to get 1440p is available I’ll do it

200?

[surreal quarry]

actually got some not bad options https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/table

24in is pretty small tho

oh damn the link didnt work, one sec

[surreal quarry]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/table/118609

[boreal cloud]

pretty cool

is the difference between 1440p and 1080p that big

[surreal quarry]

for 27in or above yes

but keep in mind 1440p requires more gpu power to hit the same fps than 1080p********

[boreal cloud]

Ah

[old arch]

The ppi is only 1/2 the story. Add 3" more screen diag & it helps see stuff easier, especially in MP fps games & some others

[surreal quarry]

i agree, bigger is better

[boreal cloud]

never thought about it like that

[surreal quarry]

but like dont get a 30in 1080p screen

27 is the max id go for 1080

[boreal cloud]

yeah i heard that 1080p doesn’t scale well on really big monitors

I might just go with a 27 inch 1080p monitor

[old arch]

Going off word of mouth, 25" should be your max for 1080p. Unless you sit a decent space from monitor.

[boreal cloud]

ok

[errant flax]

I use 24in 1080p. Even at this if you have really sharp eyes you can notice the pixels slightly from 2.5-3ft away.

[boreal cloud]

is that good or bad

[old arch]

Not all monitors are created equal also. 20/20 and gotta be within about 18" to see the pixels on mine easily. 27" 1440p is just my 2nd screen because it was a good deal & 27" 1080p isn't the best.

[boreal cloud]

Are the g27f 2 and g24f 2 monitors the same but just different sizes

[old arch]

If both IPS, then sort of yes. G24F seemed to be quite popular.

[boreal cloud]

Yeah they both have the same features

G27F 2 is 27 inches and the G24F 2 is 24

10 dollar difference too so that’s nice

[wise mulch]

Hello, I'm looking for a monitor for a mid-range PC build (running ryzen 5 7600 and rx 6750 xt). ideally specs would be 27 inch display, 1440p resolution, and at least 144hz refresh rate. Panel type doesn't matter too much for me. Budget preferably not over 400$
i've narrowed my choices down to these:
Acer Nitro XV272U Vbmiiprzx - $230
Samsung Odyssey G5 S27AG50 - can get price to $240
Samsung Odyssey G7 C32G75T - can get price to $400 but i'm not sure if it's overkill for my needs (most likely can't run games up to 240hz)
Gigabyte M27Q - $280
Any recommendations (or another choice i didn't list)?

[quartz sandal]

If you're in the US, at current pricing your best option are
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qcxRsY/lg-27gn800-b-270-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-27gn800-b
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/W6QKHx/msi-g272qpf-270-2560-x-1440-170-hz-monitor-g272qpf
If you are more of an esports player, this 240hz is a pretty good option too
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TdbRsY/hp-omen-27qs-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-omen-27qs

[wise mulch]

i'm not an esports player, my setup most likely can't even run most games at 240hz anyways unless i have very low graphics
this acer nitro monitor looks very appealing for it's price

how would you say it compares to ur choices?

[quartz sandal]

Pretty sure that's a good model

[errant edge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qcxRsY/lg-27gn800-b-270-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-27gn800-b

oh pato alr linked it

[errant flax]

VA vs IPS I have gotten some confusing answers.

So if I understand right, VA has better contrast and deeper blacks whereas IPS has more accurate colors and respose time?

[errant edge]

yes

[errant flax]

How much of a increase in color accuracy and response time does IPS have over VA?

[visual pilot]

Depends on the panel

[errant flax]

Oh okay.

How much would a good WQHD monitor with high refresh 144+ and good panel cost?

[silent epoch]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012043

around 400

@errant flax

[errant flax]

Gotcha.

Seems reasonable.

[errant edge]

I'd probably go for 4k on a 4090, no?

Or 1440p 240hz?

1440p 144hz seems a little silly with it

[silent epoch]

oh a 4090. he needs at least 1440p 240hz

[errant flax]

Yeah true. Wondering because I am gonna buy the galax 4090 for my birthday and then I am gonna look into a monitor to pair it with.

[errant edge]

M32u pog

[silent epoch]

well we always have to start with what your budget range is.....

[errant edge]

Though might be mediocre price, not sure

It varies

[errant flax]

Been considering WQHD because I do a lot of coding and I am getting back into modelling both of which benefits from screen realestate.

[errant edge]

Omen 27qs was like $380 I think

And is 1440p 240hz

[silent epoch]

VA?

[errant flax]

$400 is the upper limit of what I am able to spend on a monitor.

That's a 2-3 month's of pc salary for me from work....

[silent epoch]

e

well u can't go wrong with the one i linked. its a balanced screen

[errant flax]

My plan is to get the 4090 then wait for 8950x and buy that to help give some insight into what monitor I should be able to run.

I noticed the curved version of the one you linked is cheaper.

[silent epoch]

what you have is already more than enough

curved? one sec

[errant flax]

hmmm actually I will use the flat one since curve might screw it up for modeling use.

[silent epoch]

yeah

you wouldn't want any distorting

its a gimmick

[errant flax]

Besides that one any other good panels?

[silent epoch]

thats the only one i could think of.

but I will look

[errant flax]

Thank you for helping me.

I will also look around.

If UHD is a option within $400 with good refresh I'd definitely consider that as well.

[errant edge]

Ips I believe

[errant edge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TdbRsY/hp-omen-27qs-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-omen-27qs

Cheapest I'd go, but a 4090 is just plain overkill https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qcxRsY/lg-27gn800-b-270-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-27gn800-b

[errant flax]

Gotcha.

[errant edge]

27qs would be a much more "fitting" monitor with a 4090

[silent epoch]

4K at 400 dollars...not recommended

the satisfactory ones start at 500

[errant flax]

Ooof well 4k isn't happening then.

[silent epoch]

yep

[errant edge]

I've seen some sales that low but they're few and far between

And still not great models

[silent epoch]

mmhmm

[errant flax]

Forgot about important fees.....

What are options for QHD or WQHD within $300?

https://www.amazon.com/Monitor-FreeSync-Premium-Refresh-Display/dp/B0C5RW3DPS/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3VASMD15GPSD0&keywords=QHD%2B240hz&qid=1693595372&sprefix=qhd%2B240hz%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-5&th=1\

How's this?

[errant edge]

VA

But eh

For $250 kinda crazy

[errant flax]

Oh it's va?

[errant edge]

I'd take the LG one I linked over that

[kindred umbra]

You can snag Msi qd monitor for like the same price as the lg or cheaper

[errant flax]

Oh it has HDR 10?

[kindred umbra]

And they perform p similarly

[errant flax]

Cheapest I can get that LG monitor for is $300 before taxes and such. Is that reasonable for the monitor?

[errant edge]

No not really

Are you not in the US?

[errant flax]

I am in Mexico again.

[errant edge]

Ah alright

Any options there?

[errant flax]

I might make a trip up to the us soonish but can't say for sure.

[errant edge]

Hm

[silent epoch]

HDR on anything without extremally good contrast is worthless

dont bother caring about the ratings

[errant flax]

Gotcha.

Currently taking a look around amazon.com.mx

[errant edge]

I enjoy hdr on my x27q for valorant and overwatch, I've no idea how the contrast is on that though lol

[silent epoch]

getting tired of OW

[errant flax]

$315

[errant edge]

$300

[errant edge]

Oh wait

[errant flax]

higher refresh.

[errant edge]

Thought it was 240hz

[silent epoch]

I had that exact monitor before this one. its a good buy

[errant edge]

165 vs 144 is the same thing

[silent epoch]

^

240 is noticable

but not life changing

[errant edge]

If you'd consider getting an xtx or 4080 instead, 1440p 144hz would make more sense than on a 4090

[errant flax]

I am looking forward to being able to see more than 144 frames. I can't play sub-100 fps anymore without going nuts.

[silent epoch]

240 would be nice....

[errant flax]

AMD is a absolute no go due to the apps I use. As for 4080 I considered it but I've my heart set on a 4090.

I like to make myself the person that gets what he says he's going to do done and I told myself I'd save up enough for a 4090 so that's what I plan to do.

[silent epoch]

do it

[errant flax]

AMD was very tempting at one point though I must admit up until I found out how miserably they do in things like Blender and the such.

[errant edge]

Ah yeah blender, amd isn't very fun for that lol

[errant flax]

7900XTX performs worse then a 3070.

[errant edge]

Yeah

Oh wait nvm.

32in is rather big for QHD isn't it?

[silent epoch]

Mmmm

I couldn't really tell you

32in is for 4k

[errant edge]

32in is fine for 1440p

[errant flax]

Is Sceptre a decent brand?

[errant edge]

It's same pixel density as 24in 1080p

Iirc

[silent epoch]

Huh

[errant edge]

It's the limit of what I'd have 1440p for though

[errant flax]

Oh it's the same ppi as my 24in fhd.

[errant edge]

32in is the lowest size I'd consider 4k on though

[errant edge]

@quartz sandal would know better than me so pls correct me if I'm wrong pato

On the pixel density of 1440p 32in vs 1080p 24in

[errant flax]

it's 91 vs 93 ppi.

all three are very similarly priced and almost same specs

overclock monitor is a thing

oh ma gawf

[errant edge]

Second one

Look at rtings.com for monitor comparisons

[wise mulch]

i tried to but rtings doesn't have reviews for the msi and ktc one i think

what makes you choose the MSI one over the other two?

[errant edge]

Acer nitro line as a whole just tends to not be the best, it's normally acers cheap end products

[wise mulch]

ah i see
how about compared to the ktc?

[errant edge]

I only see two that you linked

Ah nvm

One sec

Yeah nah msi one is better

prob gonna go for that lg monitor you told me

1440p ips for $200 is kewl

[errant flax]

It seems I am likely to make a visit to the US not to long from now so I will wait till I am in the US to pickup a monitor.

[trim brook]

@silent epoch this is apparently bent the guy was talking about

[silent epoch]

Not as much as I thought

[potent marsh]

So I need help with a good setup opinion

I got a straight monitor thats my main monitor and I got a curved monitor that my second monitor.

I'm trying to figure out how to set my monitors. If I put it on my right side that covers my pc and the cords and cables. If I put it on my left side it covers my bathroom door and what not

Cable management sucks ik. I'm cleaning my room rn

I'm thinking I go left side for my curved but then all my cords and cables show

[errant flax]

Go left and for the cables I recommend picking up some cable sleeves for cheap so there's only one or two cables sticking out then use zip ties to connect them.

[fossil gust]

So why are 1080p projectors ~$50-100 but 4k starts at $1099?

Oh maybe that's only newegg

I see a lot of "4k support" bit that sounds like it might still project it at 1080

for example this says "4k support"

https://www.amazon.com/Projector-HONPOW-Projectors-Compatible-Smartphone/dp/B0C7G9M6NJ/

In the display resolution max box it does have 3840*2160

Butin one of the videos it says 1080p native

[errant flax]

Is the projector for a theater room?

[fossil gust]

No, just for my room. I'm in a loft with a large ceiling in front/over my bed at ~45deg and I thought it would be cool to project onto

[errant flax]

Oh okay.

[boreal cloud]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824026341 is this monitor good

[errant edge]

That looks like a really nice deal imo

Looks to be the best price for what you get for a 1080p monitor rn

[boreal cloud]

ok

ty

[errant edge]

Depending on gpu this is also a good option https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qcxRsY/lg-27gn800-b-270-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-27gn800-b

i just wanna save some money with 1080p

i know used isnt always reliable but checking facebook marketplace or ebay can't hurt

oop that was days ago

[untold forge]

Is it possible to control the volume of a gaming monitor remotely? I’ve been considering getting an Xbox media remote because I watch shows on my Xbox all the time and it’s annoying only being able to control the volume of my monitor by the monitor itself…I can’t lay in bed and watch because I have to get up everytime I wanna change the volume

[fossil gust]

Probably not since monitors are meant to be used within arm's reach. You could get a soundbar with a remote.

[untold forge]

How much are those? 💀

[fossil gust]

Idk check Newegg or amazon

Here's one for $55 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KFQVLZF/?tag=at88-20

[pastel cedar]

I'm looking for 2 monitors:

• Total under $800
• 27-28 Inch
• Not Curved
• Similar Bezels would be a plus
• 4k
• 1440p
• Monitor Layout: https://i.imgur.com/Eu8HoAF.png (Already have #3)

1st monitor (This one would be stacked above the 2nd one):

• Good color accuracy
• Fast green response time would be a plus

2nd monitor:

• At least 144hz preferably 240hz
• IPS

Current 1st monitor pick: ASUS ProArt Display PA278CGV or LG 27UL500-W or https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/table/119342

Misc: Other Search List

Other Notes:

• United States
• Purchase from any credited website
• New
• Monitor 1 would be an output monitor for renders and video/photo editing
• Monitor 2 would be for like gaming, daily tasks and modeling
• i9-13900k and 4090

[small warren]

M27Q

and

M27Q

💀

wait what is your gpu

I feel like you said 4090 so I'm gonna say 1440p 144hz is too low for that sort of gpu

[pastel cedar]

im the dude thats gonna water cool the i9-13900k and 4090

[small warren]

yeah you want 4k

1440p and 13900k the 4090 is bottlenecked

[pastel cedar]

gotcha

[small warren]

you may as well use a 4080, or better still, 7900xtx

[pastel cedar]

well which would be good that still fit the criteria but are 4k

[small warren]

M32U

there isn't really a better/other choice here but M32U

then maybe a good color cheap 1080p second monitor

like a G24F 2

or HP X24ih

[small warren]

reason I say this is the performance will be basically the same overall without spending the extra

due to the bottleneck

generally speaking

[pastel cedar]

32 inch is too big for where im putting them

[small warren]

M28U then

you could do 32 inch and 24 inch tho

that should be the same relative size just about as 27 and 27

maybe a tiny bit longer

or do a vertical second monitor

[pastel cedar]

No like I have shelving basically making the area my monitors go in a box so they would fit like this

[small warren]

oh I see

didn't know there was a 3rd monitor involved, fair enough

[pastel cedar]

oh yeah but that is just some cheapo monitor for random things

yeah i need good color on the top one as an output monitor mainly and fast speeds on the bottom monitor

[fading wyvern]

https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-M27Q-PRO-Monitor-Response/dp/B09Z6VRX8F?th=1 x 2

maybe a 4k like he was saying

but the pro is slightly better then base m27q and its $280 has normal rgb subpixel instead of bgr

do like a m28u main, then a m27q-p secondary

[pastel cedar]

m27q-p does have great color and the m28u would be the 4k bottom monitor

[pastel cedar]

hmm, yeah that seems like a decent combo

144hz for top monitor seems crazy to me but honestly I dont think there are any with better color that have any lower refresh rate to ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I just need to check if the .8 inch difference will fit where im putting them since it was a pretty tight fit if I remember

[pastel cedar]

Have been looking at some more monitors, would the m27u still be the best for a color accurate top monitor?

[fading wyvern]

So whatever rtings says is best is typically best, but if you’re looking for extreme color accuracy it usually comes with the extra cost of a extra qc color calibration. You’d be basically spending most of your budget on a color accurate 60hz display

[pastel cedar]

Hmm I see, also yeah ratings just doesn't have the top 4 I linked separately under the ratings link

[fading wyvern]

My personally opinion is just get 2 m27q-p’s but the resolution is a little bit low for a 4090 build.

The other issue is, is it rtings before calibration or after… the m27q is pretty well known for out the box color accuracy which is surprising

[pastel cedar]

I'll be using a m27u-sa under this monitor

[fading wyvern]

Alright that’s a good idea

It’ll be slightly bigger then your top monitor

Might set off some ocd

[pastel cedar]

Only by .03 mm

Wait the m27q-p would be the bigger one by .03mm

So top one would be negligible bigger

[fading wyvern]

thats pretty misleading

sounds like a good plan, bezzels and style will probably match

[pastel cedar]

Wdym

[pastel cedar]

Oh yeah tru

[fading wyvern]

the m28u is smaller then the smaller number m27q

[pastel cedar]

No I meant the m27q-p is bigger than the m27u-sa

[fading wyvern]

ah didnt realize there was a 27u, assumed u were talking about the 28u

[old arch]

Uh, m28u isn't smaller if it's in fact 28". M27q is 27", although I'm not counting bezels of course

[fading wyvern]

i misunderstood what product they were talking about, didnt even realize the 27u existed

[old arch]

Yea slightly confusing GB made that one also.

[errant flax]

I think I am gonna go with the INNOCN 27G1V 4k@144hz (155hz OC) monitor at $400. Reviews seem solid.

Worst case I'd be buying off Amazon so I can return it no questions asked if it has a problem.

On a sidenote, I am aware that 4k at 27in is small however that's good for when I need to really zoom in when doing drawings and texturing. And reason two being if the monitor is to big I can't take it on a plane as carry on.

Any known issues with the monitor?

[stuck pelican]

what is the best for 300$

[quartz sandal]

Depends, for gaming? Content creation? Etc, what country etc

[fading wyvern]

M27q-p

[peak cave]

Hi folks! I tried google this but I didn’t get very far. I just got a new monitor and everything’s great except on the top right and bottom left it keeps displaying these numbers. It’s not a decal or anything but it stays even when the mint or is off. Anyone know what this is? Can I remove it?

[visual pilot]

What numbers do they display?

[peak cave]

It is a Haman S2723i-27 monitor
I would show a pic but I can’t post on here. It says “2B10110” on top right and “2B10990” bottom left

I can send you an image if you want.

[visual pilot]

Can you check if it's a setting on the osd by using the buttons on the back?

[peak cave]

Sure! And uh… what’s OSD? 😅

[visual pilot]

On screen display

Usually used for controlling brightness and color modes and can include some random overlays

[peak cave]

Oh god I found something but it I’m not sure out it go to the right to select it

I can tap the button again to go down and up like an old tv but idk how to make my selected option go left

this is so hard to describe lol

[visual pilot]

There might be extra buttons on the bottom

Product images show some on the back but no images of bottom

[peak cave]

I think I figured it out but I’m not sure if any of these setting will help.
To describe it a bit more, the numbers show up even if the Monitor screen is off

[visual pilot]

Like are they there if PC is off but monitor is still plugged in?

[peak cave]

I have a laptop that I hooked to this display monitor with and HDMI cable. With the monitor turned off and even unplugged the numbers are still on the screen

Kind of like an old calculator still showing the numbers if it’s off. And it’s not a sticker.

is it okay If I send you a picture?

[visual pilot]

Yea, doesn't sound like it's something the monitor is displaying though, if it's still there even with power being off

[peak cave]

I sent you a request ☺️

[small warren]

Like, ink is printed on the screen??

[small warren]

Is there like

A plastic film over the screen or something???

Those look like factory ink stamps

The first pic makes me feel really sus it's a film over the screen cos I see what looks like air bubbles around it

[visual pilot]

I think the stuff on first is just like water stains

But it does seem like ink stamps

Wonder if you could see if isopropyl alcohol can get it off

[fading wyvern]

[raw ingot]

it's likely ink

[misty gyro]

NO don't use isopropyl on a monitor, it can ruin the coating

Especially if it's a glossy screen

[small warren]

Best monitor cleaning stuff in the world is eucalyptus oil

Australia's own stuff

Very poisonous tho don't eat it

Customer dissatisfaction guaranteed with every ingestion

I want a 2nd monitor. Can I get a meaningful upgrade from the one I have for under $300? Figured it may be outdated

[small warren]

hz and resolution-wise? no not really

quality wise? colour? hdr? yes

[radiant rapids]

Yea, I’m happy with 1440 144. But the colors are noticeably sub par sometimes. Was trying to decide vs cheaper 2nd monitor or more expensive one and demoting the acer

[small warren]

hmm

probably like

Omen 27q

or G27Q

there's a few options

M27Q if you want to splash on your purchase

[granite lynx]

I have a budget of around $600 usd. Just need something that looks nice with good color that is flat and is around 27 in. Hdr would be nice.

I don’t need a crazy refresh like 240

144 is fine

Should I go 1440p or 4k?

[errant edge]

What gpu and cpu do you have

If 4080/7900xtx/4090, 4k

Anything less I'd go 1440p personally

For 1440p I'd say https://pcpartpicker.com/product/k8GnTW/gigabyte-m27q-270-2560x1440-170-hz-monitor-m27q
Or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/mQbTwP/gigabyte-m27q-p-270-2560x1440-170-hz-monitor-m27q-p

This being the next step up
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TdbRsY/hp-omen-27qs-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-omen-27qs

Hey Newegg Community,

I've got a bit of a tech hiccup and could use some guidance. I own a Huawei MateView 28-inch monitor, bought in December 2021 in Portugal, and it's been acting up.

Here's the deal: When I turn it on, it briefly flashes the Huawei logo but then goes dark and powers off within 1-2 seconds. This has been going on for about a year now.

After a chat with Huawei support, it seems the issue might be related to the charger not playing nice with the Canadian power system (I moved here recently). I'm thinking about swapping out the charger, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm reaching out to the Newegg community to see if anyone has encountered a similar problem or has advice on finding a charger that works with my Huawei MateView monitor.

If you've got any tips, tricks, or recommendations, I'd be super grateful. Thanks a bunch for your help!

Cheers!

[misty gyro]

if I were to get a headset would this be good? https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Arctis-Nova-Multi-System-Gaming-Headset/dp/B0B8QC25SP?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

[errant edge]

I know f all about headsets but I have not heard good things about that

[neat cosmos]

Any monoprice monitor owners that can confirm whether their model has warranty void stickers on the VESA mount?

[misty gyro]

Ah, you saw that video too huh?

Did you see Asrock has it in plain black and white in their policy, "if you remove the sticker it's considered damage and your warranty is void", in blatant disregard for the law?

[neat cosmos]

I also found a reddit comment from 7 months ago stating the same issue for the same monitor model. So either someone is bringing this "fake" issue back from the dead or there are actually at least some of the models having the issue. I want to know how big of an issue this is but kinda hard to get data on it. Monoprice subreddit mods censor threads talking about it, doesnt seem worthwhile asking there.

Also yeah saw AssRock vid. Interesting CS just said "Yeah goto FTC for all I care, bye bye now"

[misty gyro]

Yet another reason for me to not recommend their products. I'll shill MSI or Asus.

[neat cosmos]

I mean all companies refuse warranty for bogus reasons, so idk

[daring thicket]

tbf its a bit hard to make money when 50% of your stuff is getting refunded

and you already know people try to get warranty returns for everything

not tryna defend them or anything but i'm def able to view corpo perspective

[misty gyro]

There's no defense for it, it's straight up illegal what asrock and maybe monoprice are doing. You can't refuse a warranty just because someone opened your product. You have to prove that the customer damaged it themselves somehow.

[raw ingot]

^

I feel guilty for taking advantage of user damage on a prebuilt I had lmao

But it was a genuine accident

And it was kinda a miracle how asus accepted it

[misty gyro]

Asus is that brand that's more expensive but they tend to stand by their products more in my experience

[raw ingot]

yeah

it's why i have asus bias

What's a good price for a 27in 1080p monitor?

I just want a cheap but good monitor rn

I've found some for like 159 and 139, is that the limit for good monitors?

[errant edge]

27" isn't great for 1080p, are you set on 27"?

I'd personally do this for 1080p, but I'll find you a 27" recc in case https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Zcqrxr/msi-g244f-238-1920-x-1080-170-hz-monitor-g244f

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/RdLFf7/lg-27gq50f-b-270-1920x1080-165-hz-monitor-27gq50f-b or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XGytt6/asrock-pg27ff1a-270-1920x1080-165-hz-monitor-pg27ff1a

[honest crane]

not exactly

I want a big screen but 2k might be too much for me personally

unless I can find a 27in 2k monitor for that much

[errant edge]

What gpu do you have?

[honest crane]

mobile 3070

[errant edge]

And yeah you probably won't find lower than $170 for a 1440p high refresh monitor

[honest crane]

that can't reach it's maxiimum potential

[errant edge]

Ah I'd stick with 1080p anyways then

[honest crane]

1080p on 27in can't be that bad can it?

[errant edge]

Eh, depends on your eye sight, viewing distance and just you in general

Personally 1080p at 24" didn't look great to me, but some people have 1080p at 27" and have no qualms

[honest crane]

my cousin actually had a samsung monitor 1080 with 27in

[errant edge]

Could be something where you don't have any issues with what you're experiencing, so it looks and feels great for you until you upgrade and then it feels like you can never go back

[honest crane]

though it was curved, and to be fair he does have odd preferences for gaming

[tribal spire]

I can absolutely vouch for 24" 1080p, it feels AMAZING

there is no reasonable distance where you can see individual pixels (without hurting your eyes)
And it's cheaper than 27

unless you're dead set on 1080p 27", I can vouch for 24" being the best layout for it

[honest crane]

nah im planning on using the monitor as a tv screen as well

I'm in a dorm rn and I wanna hybrid game and watch tv with it from my bed

[lime quartz]

best deal for 1440p monitor cheap? im thinking this one https://www.microcenter.com/product/671196/hyperx-armada-27-2k-qhd-(2560-x-1440)-165hz-gaming-monitor thoughts?!

[errant edge]

that's good

best youll find near the price

[maiden wedge]

Which monitors fully support Rec. 2020 color space

[misty gyro]

You're looking at $2500 minimum, even $1000 pro displays only do 98% dci-p3 (which is a smaller color space)

[misty gyro]

The highest rec 2020 gamut monitor I know of still only covers 84%, and it's gamut on other standards is pretty bad comparably too.
The most accurate display on a desktop monitor size screen from a consumer standpoint would probably be the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8. It has sRGB 108.9%, DCI-P3 99.5%, and rec 2020 79.5%. And it's currently discounted to $1100.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BLF2RWNV
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-oled-g8-g85sb-s34bg85
This is the best an average consumer can do right now. There may be made-to-order monitors hiding in Hollywood basements but full rec 2020 is a long way off from the consumer market.

Oh and this OLED is probably really prone to burn in, QD-OLED and all that. Plus only a 1 year warranty, so it's something you would have to plan to use infrequently or replace regularly to maintain color quality.

[tribal spire]

I just found out that Corsair is making a cheaper version of the 32UHD144
With a significantly less elaborate stand
But with higher peak brightness apparently

the 32UHD144-A

it's a good 10% cheaper than the base model

[raw ingot]

bleh

[tribal spire]

it's still pricey, but it is something

that stand was gaudy to me anyway

[tribal spire]

Wait isn't QD-OLED supposed to be less likely to suffer burn in?

[small warren]

By principle yes, by practice? ...no

[tribal spire]

Cuz theoretically you can achieve the same brightness and better colors without driving the panel very hard

[tribal spire]

Well that sucks

It's weird how it all pans out

Why is QD-OLED seemingly so much worse with burn in?

Does the white subpixel matter so much?

[small warren]

I mean

I'm not privy to the specifics?

But like all first gen cars

They have issues lol

It might be a while before qd oled gets a resounding green flag

ok thanks

[shell fog]

Hello fellas

I have a 6700xt, should I get a 1440p or 1080p monitor for it?

If so what are some good options for 1440p?

[errant edge]

You could go either way, 6700xt is right around where either choice is fine

Kinda just depends what you value

1080p plus sides are cheaper and higher fps/graphics quality

1440p plus sides are better images, can go a good bit better on screen size without seeing individual pixels

[shell fog]

Honestly I wanna go 1440p

What are some budget monitors for 1440p

[misty gyro]

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

Or $20 more for the M27Q which is basically the same monitor but with a couple extras like a KVM

[errant edge]

For a budget option this is fine, worse than the g27q though https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824011453?Item=N82E16824011453&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-24-011-453-_-09302023

Both can do 165hz over display port, first is va second is ips, im not sure which panel is actually better though

Honestly this is better than either, but refurb https://www.amazon.com/AOC-Frameless-Monitor-Adjustable-Renewed/dp/B0BSP49Y6B/ref=mp_s_a_1_22?crid=3U12GOAC6V2TJ&keywords=1080p+monitor&qid=1696107044&refinements=p_36%3A9000-12000%2Cp_n_feature_twenty_browse-bin%3A72511692011|72511697011%2Cp_n_feature_twenty-one_browse-bin%3A73824518011|73824524011&rnid=73824515011&s=pc&sprefix=1080p+monito%2Caps%2C137&sr=1-22

[shell fog]

Without display port are they less hz?

[shell fog]

What’s the difference?

Why is it better

[errant edge]

Hdmi would do 144 most likely, but it doesn't really matter

[errant edge]

Panel quality mainly

[shell fog]

Aigjt I might get aoc one

[errant edge]

Image quality is better, less likely to have ghosting

Some other minor things

[shell fog]

Also it’s alright right if I buy refurb?

Any problems?

[errant edge]

Nah you're good

Aight

I might the aoc one or pixio or scepters depending on which panel is better

Thanks bacca

You guys have xp with plugging PCs into random TVs to game? What specs should I care about? For example, the Airbnb I will be in has this tv https://support.vizio.com/s/article/V505-H9-Model-Information?language=en_US

Curious to if it would translate to a good experience for certain games, like Halo with a controller etc

It’s crazy to me 4k TVs are so inexpensive now

[sick pivot]

is there any other store that sell this and that would price match it https://www.microcenter.com/product/671196/hyperx-armada-27-2k-qhd-(2560-x-1440)-165hz-gaming-monitor

[errant edge]

Potentially best buy but no guarantees

[sick pivot]

i already checked i didnt see it there

i have a microcenter in my state but its far from me

im and thats the only qhd monitor that actually is at a good price and seems to be good

[sick pivot]

would walmart price match from online?

[misty gyro]

It's 4k 120Hz so it won't be too bad. I can't speak as to the quality of the panel so it could have a ton of motion blur or latency.

[sick pivot]

fal do you know of any other stores that sell that monitor?

[misty gyro]

Not anywhere that has it remotely close to that price. I just see it for $350-500

[sick pivot]

oof so microcenter it is then

[knotty oasis]

Does anyone have any recommendations for 1440p monitors I have a Nvida 3060Ti at the moment but plan on upgrading soon.

[errant edge]

Budget?

And country?

[errant edge]

I'd imagine there will be a lot of good monitor sales again on prime day

But that's not a gaurantee

[sick pivot]

probally not last prime day it was do do

some things even went up

[errant edge]

Last prime day had a $150 x27q

And it wasn't on amazon but like a $140 nzxt 1440p 165hz monitor

[sick pivot]

:/ I HATE AMAZON AND GOOGLE IT NEVER SHOWS ME THE G OOD DEALS

EVEN THE MICRO CENTER HYPERX IT WAS 149 EARLY IN SEPTEMBER AND IT NEVER SHOWED ME IT WHEN SEARCHING

[errant edge]

Take a look at r/buildapcsales and sort by new

On prime day just check there every so often

And the #tech-deals channel

[knotty oasis]

Budget prob less then 600 and country USA

[errant edge]

What gpu you planning to upgrade to?

[knotty oasis]

4070 TI or 4080

[errant edge]

7900xtx def worth it over either, it beats the 4080 for not much more than 4070 ti costs

But if you need or are set on nvidia 4080 is better value

Alr one sec

[knotty oasis]

alr i think im going to get nvidia bc ray tracing

[errant edge]

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

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6WBzK8/lg-ultragear-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-27gr83q-b

Could also go 4k

Also if you want a bigger monitor there's some options but I gtg for now

[knotty oasis]

thanks! and do you know if there good for both gaming and video gaming

[maiden wedge]

Should I choose HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort if both are supported by the monitor?

[errant flax]

Display Port I believe is better.

Assuming 1.4

Just double checked.

Display Port 1.4 is better.

[raw ingot]

but it depends on that monitor's specs too

[fossil gust]

Update on the monitor stuff, I asked if I could just get a partial refund instead of returning it and was offered 10% ($13) and I would lose my 90 day warranty

This makes me miss Amazon support

[fossil gust]

Dog what

I contacted ebay support because Acer can't understand me and only responds hours later and this happens

[fossil gust]

Ok looks like that was just a result of bad connection for one or both of us. Contacted them again and they didn't leave me

Ebay support seems to agree that under their refurbished garuntee/warranty I should be able to receive a replacement unit, so they started a claim and sent the seller (Acer) an email requesting a replacement

[shell fog]

Do you have to send back your monitor?

[fossil gust]

I'm tryyna get a replacement and then send back the bad one

[shell fog]

Oh ok

[fierce geyser]

Idk if it’s real but Samsung all in one tv has near 4000 hz at 4k i think

https://www.samsung.com/us/business/displays/direct-view-led/ia-series/the-wall-all-in-one-146-p84-lh008iabmus-go/#specs

Cost 220000 tho

[misty gyro]

That refresh rate is under the "electrical" section. The specs sheet of this thing in general is atrocious. They're mixing different specs under the wrong headings.

[small warren]

Damn

Something that can handle all these minecraft frames for once

[visual pilot]

I'm guessing this is the actual refresh rate, 3840 sounds like too much of a coincidence not to be something to do with the resolution

[old arch]

Bingo, and of course 3840 is literally the common pixel width of a 4k screen.

[fossil gust]

another update on the refurb monitor: According to ebay support the seller can refuse to replace the unit and instead only accept a return & refund

time to see if the included Allstate warranty will do anything 🙃

[fossil gust]

which seems really stupid to me because it means a seller can send a "certified refurbished" item in however bad condition they want and have no real responsibility

Other than shipping costs

Hell, they could be not even touching the things, just taking new returns and turning them around to sell as "refurb"

[fossil gust]

Gonna see if the included Allstate warranty will get me a repalcement

Alright gotta give David at Allstate credit for bein straight up with me

(I didn't pay for the allstate coverage but he knows I got screwed either way)

[radiant rapids]

Is there a big upgrade from acer acer xg270hu for 300 or so? It’s 1440 144 TN panel. Colors are just ok IMO.

Thinking OLED 1440 240 perhaps.

I’d also consider a great deal on a 4K monitor but may want to also keep my 27 Inch for fps gaming etc

[raw ingot]

tn is just bad, period

ips would be a good upgrade

[errant flax]

IPS would be a good budget upgrade. OLED QHD 240hz is gonna cost you at least $799 last I checked.

You can pickup a IPS QHD 240hz for around 300-400$.

[errant edge]

Oled 1440p 240hz is $800

Ips 1440p 240hz would be a major upgrade around $300, one sec

"Budget" option https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Lv4Zxr/acer-acer-nitro-xv272u-w2bmiiprx-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-umhx2aa201
Better option https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zQyH99/msi-g274qpx-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-g274qpx

Could also go lower refresh and bigger display with

Or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hyhFf7/acer-xv320qu-lvbmiiphx-315-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-umjx0aav01

Oled is kinda overhyped, considering it's over 2x what a same specced monitor costs, aside from panel type

Oh UW is also an option if you want even more space, but uw is very user specific

[radiant rapids]

@thick latch Yea MSI seems like a good option spec wise/price wise

Kinda don't like the aesthetic of it though

I wish OLED 240 1440 was like 500

[errant edge]

This is very similar, if you like it more https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TdbRsY/hp-omen-27qs-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-omen-27qs

I guess that's significantly more expensive xD

on 2nd thought ill stick to 1440

For gaming 1440p 27in is pretty sweet

Much easier to push high framerates than 4k

Very nice monitor

I was looking at it last night. $500 price point seemed nice, is it better HDR?

I found the 240 oled version open box nearby for like $680
