#

one thing Ive noticed thats been on my nerves is videos taken on my iphone that I try to play on my pc are all washed out due to the hdr settings used to make the masters

#

but aside from that having crisper and more vibrant color on my monitor along with solid brightness would be nice

visual pilot
#

I think there's usually a way to mark it as sdr to make it look normal? If that's the main concern you have

winged meteor
#

not the main concern just one

#

i used handbrake to convert them but theyre still all wonky looking compared to the original

visual pilot
#

Anyways if $500 is your limit, you'll want to look at some 1440p240 OLED panels

winged meteor
#

but again just one of my many concerns

visual pilot
#

Prices look higher than usual right now, usually should have some in the ~$400 range

winged meteor
#

damn I wonder why

Guys i bought asus tuf vg27aq1a and i got this cable and i cannot plug it in its thing should i buy any cable from amazon or what?

IMG_7486.jpg
#

I think its called c5 and the cable i have is c7

fossil gust
#

C7 is the little 2 circle one

#

But yes I believe the 3 circle is c5

jade burrow

fossil gust
#

New?

jade burrow
#

yes

fossil gust
#

Weird. It should come with all cables

#

You could return the whole thing but personally I'd try contacting Amazon and asking for a partial refund to cover the cost of buying a cable

jade burrow

I checked amazon and it says

hello

#

sorry im not knowledgeable enough when it comes to monitors and new technologies about them, but im thinking of buying a new monitor and im aiming for a 34" QD OLED, however recently i found out about Micro LED tech, and how it eliminates the problems QD OLED have, question is how far are we from getting this type of monitors ?

visual pilot
#

Only ever one breakthrough away, but as long as we're not there, we could be a month away or it might never happen

but yes I am already on newest bios

#

think it was almost exclusively on x870, I checked out of curiosity after updating bios and motherboard TDC/EDC didn't change

Can I get discord on a smart TV? Specifically Samsung 55” Class Crystal UHD U8000FB 4K Smart TV 2025 - UN55U8000FBXZA

slender kraken
#

The Samsung odyssey g50d Vs the benq EX2710Q, which monitor is better? Both are the same price

final agate
#

so i have a gaming monitor i think its 144hz but i want another monitor just to simply watch videos or movies on it so what kind should i buy and my budget is really cheap preffered around 100 dollars do i need more than 60 hz?

hidden cairn
#

For movies, nah

#

You might even get away with 30hz

mighty dew
#

If you can hold out Corsair is making their own it should be Q3 for it to release. It'll be pricy but at least you know you ain't getting nothing jank lol

Btw is 75Hz worth it in 2018?

timber rover
#

Ye

maiden wedge
#

60hz is DEAD

timber rover
#

lol no

maiden wedge

lol.

lucid ether
#

He should share one of those 1080ti's if he's not utilizing them...

#

😉

olive token
#

he won't

#

he'd just put one in the closet.

lucid ether
#

Just like Theo...

olive token
#

I didn't say it you did.

#

😂

lucid ether
#

Lol

shut panther
#

Lol

#

So bad

#

i got this for $130USD last week

maiden wedge

#

Is it Possible to add a third monitor? Using hdmi and dvi ports

maiden wedge
#

nio

#

no

#

you need 2 GB of Video ram per monitor

#

so u can only run 1

#

with that video card

half sonnet
#

I am running 2 currently.

maiden wedge
#

huh

#

im running 3

half sonnet
#

Ok thanks

dull thunder
#

you dont need 2 gb of vram per monitor, no idea where you heard that

#

it would really depend on what youre doing, with a 1060 i wouldnt display a game on all 3 monitors but as long as you were just gaming on one it would probably be fine

#

the only thing you could run into a problem with is if some of the ports share lanes, a lot of the time one of the dvi ports and an hdmi or display port output will share the same lane on the card so you can only plug something into one of them but not both

#

you would have to read the manual for your specific gpu to find out which tho

olive token
#

2gb per monitor? lol.

maiden wedge
#

waat?

wide shell
#

hahaha

maiden wedge
#

Might want to change the power supply

heady shore
#

def wanna change that power supply

maiden wedge
#

get a 750-800w

analog shell
#

800 is prob a bit much but if you can get it, get it

#

does anyone know if I get a free-sync monitor if it will work with a GeForce RTX 2070 8 gb card?

minor ledge
#

Yes it will

severe epoch
#

Ok so I goofed

#

I was attempting to hook up my second screen back up and well no magic happened.
Now my main monitor won't even display.

maiden wedge
#

@serene yoke you need a G-Sync monitor

#

Not Free Sync

olive token
#

he doesn't "need" g-sync for it to work.

#

depending on the monitor he could get the "g-sync compatible" they have out now for some free-syncs.

gilded ivy
#

yeah

#

my monitor isnt officially g sync

#

but i enabled compatible for it

#

and it works

minor ledge
#

Free sync works on 10series and above nvidia gpus

gilded ivy
#

yeaah

serene yoke
#

So if I’m getting a 2060 card does free sync work?

minor ledge
#

yes

Hello, was just wondering, are Newegg refurbished monitors guaranteed to not have any dead pixel or they might sitll have some?

marble yacht
#

I don't know but Newegg is usually really good with refurbished items

#

can you help this guy out @true iron

olive token
#

there should be an explanation on what to expect on whatever it is he is looking at I think

#

I will say I ordered an open box monitor from newegg and it was perfect.

#

buying refurbed anything is always a toss up.

#

@steep badge I meant to say that here. haha

steep badge
#

I figured 😄

olive token
#

need to seperate the discords a bit.

#

I have them right next to eachother, gets confusing.

I mean
I use a tv for a monitor because I don't game much (if at all)
but I can't see buying that tv.

keen crypt
#

i got a 4k and it's nice but 8k is a waste of time

odd echo
#

honestly 1080 is fine for me

#

cheap monitors, good enough display resolution, especially since im not doing video or photo editing

mossy comet
#

pops in 2 2080 ti’s running in sli with nvlink
Now I can run 8k

odd echo
#

gaming in 8k seems dumb to me

mossy comet
#

It is

#

Honestly 1440p is the way to go

odd echo
#

i can barely tell the difference between 1080 and 4k, so why spend all that money for 8k

mossy comet
#

If I had a pc that can run 1440p

odd echo
#

is that like 2k?

mossy comet
#

If I had a pc

#

Yeah

odd echo
#

ah

#

see that would be perfect

mossy comet
#

It’s the best of both worlds

odd echo
#

my dad has a 2k monitor from like 10 years ago lmao

#

still uses it today

mossy comet
#

High refresh rates, okay price, great visual quality

odd echo
#

2160p is 4k right

mossy comet
#

Like for FPS and stuff, there isn’t a point in 4k

#

No. 2160 by 1440 is 1440p

odd echo
#

oh

mossy comet
#

4k is like 3880 I think

odd echo
#

oops

#

huh

mossy comet
#

Or something like that

odd echo
#

i already have bad vision so if its 1080 or above its fine

#

its my super power 😎

mossy comet
#

I have bad vision too, but 2k or 1440p is like the best

next minnow
#

I can see 4K monitors being a thing back then. Since 1080p displays were technically made way before they were mainstream public

odd echo
#

we have 4k tvs tho

mossy comet
#

Probably for production. Couldn’t be consumer grade

#

The 4k monitors from 10years who

#

Ago

odd echo
#

we have an 80 inch 240hz 4k tv

mossy comet
#

Wait Nani

odd echo
#

it was $3000

#

and its also a smart tv

#

wait i think its oled too

mossy comet
#

That’s a lotta damage

#

And money

#

If it wasn’t a smart tv at 3k then

next minnow
#

Phill Swift here... that’s a lotta damage

odd echo
#

thats a mouthful of words

#

We have a smart 4k 80 inch 240hz oled tv

mossy comet
#

Wait. But why do u have that big, expensive, and powerful of a tv

odd echo
#

its also a big flex

#

because why not

#

(i thought it was stupid and unnecessary but my dad likes to go big or go home)

#

hold on let me find a picture

#

its wall mounted too

mossy comet
#

When you bring your friend over and you’re casually is like, “oh yeah. Later we can also watch some Minecraft let’s plays on our 80” 240hz 4k tv”

odd echo
#

with a special arm that can move up and down

#

hell yeah

#

and that was an upgrade from our 65 inch 1080p smart tv

mossy comet
#

The sound bar looks so small because of the tv 😂

odd echo
#

its a big soundbar but yea next to the tv its a midget

mossy comet
#

Like that’s prob a 40” sound bar

odd echo
#

we have a sonos setup with 3 speakers for surround sound

mossy comet
#

Which is what I have

odd echo
#

yep

mossy comet
#

A 40” sound bar

#

And it looks so small

#

I have a 40” 100$ sound bar

#

So

odd echo
#

“hey wanna come over and watch minecraft lets plays on my 240hz 80 inch 4k oled smart tv with 5.1 surround sound”

#

we have like 6 sonos speakers + 1 sonos sound bar + one dedicated subwoofer

#

theyre all alexa enabled

mossy comet
#

That can’t be 5.1 surround sound then

odd echo
#

?

#

only the soundbar and 2 speakers and the subwoofer are being used for the surround sound

mossy comet
#

It would be like 7.1 channel rite

#

Oh

odd echo
#

the sound bar itself is 3 channels

mossy comet
#

I saw the 6 sonos speakers and was like

odd echo
#

if u want ur ears to burst, simply say ‘Alexa, volume 10’ and start playing some music

mossy comet
#

Oh no

odd echo
#

yeah the other 4 are spread a bit throughout the house

#

they all work together tho

mossy comet
#

Oh. It’s the sonos smart home speaker?

odd echo
#

yeah

mossy comet
#

That replaces the amazon Alexa?

#

Oh cool

odd echo
#

ok there is an explanation to this madness

mossy comet
#

Here is mine

odd echo
#

my dad and stepmom were having a wedding reception in our backyard because it was way cheaper than renting a space, and he bought the speakers to play music because our deck is huge and good for dancing

#

o yea vizio speakers are good too

mossy comet
#

Not as good as urs

#

1 sonos speaker is more expensive then my sound bar lol

odd echo
#

oof yea

#

ok i dont have one picture capturing it all

#

but

#

it looks different because that was before and after we stained it

#

but yea thats where they had the reception

mossy comet
#

Cool

olive token
#

@odd echo nice deck.

odd echo
#

thanks 🤣

snow rain
#

Can I get a bit of advice from people who know what they're talking about?

#

I currently use a very wide (2560x1080) monitor

#

LG, not sure of all the specs

#

I know very little about monitors

#

(Which is why I'm here lol)

#

I've been thinking about getting a dual monitor system, with both being on telescoping wall mounts. My desk is a built in cavity with a window in the middle, so the mounts would be to the left and right of the window

#

Problem is I have no clue where to start looking

#

Nor what to actually look for

#

I mostly do software development and internet browsing with this, as well as a little bit of gaming (nothing hardcore, mostly Kerbal Space Program and Minecraft)

odd echo
#

do you want two ultrawide monitors?

snow rain
#

I think what I'm mostly asking is what specs matter and what can I ignore

#

Not sure if two can fit in my desk without more angling than I want

#

Probably 1920x1080

odd echo
#

ok

#

so two 16:9 monitors

#

did you want 4k?

snow rain
#

Resolution?

odd echo
#

yes

#

theyre really expensive though

snow rain
#

I mean I'm sure it would be nice but I'm not doing like graphic design or high spec games

#

So I honestly won't notice it probably

odd echo
#

ah

#

ok

#

thats good because theyre way more expensive

snow rain
#

Yes and I am not rich lol

odd echo
#

so when looking for monitors to buy, make sure they’re compatible with an arm

#

also make sure your computer is good enough to drive two monitors at once

snow rain
#

Ah so it wouldn't necessarily be included

#

I sure hope it is

#

I should check up on that

odd echo
#

yes, buy the two monitors, and the arm(s) separately

#

whats your system specs?

snow rain
#

Good timing I just had everything up at once

odd echo
#

hold on let me go check something

snow rain
#

Only time I've ever experienced issues with the computer is when RAM gets full (usually from KSP)

#

Never had an issue with this GPU

#

But then again I'm not driving 2 monitors haha

odd echo
#

uh you might want to consider a cpu upgrade

#

something with 4 cores or more

snow rain
#

Okay

#

That's 2, right?

#

Yeah

odd echo
#

hm?

#

yeah

snow rain
#

The one I have rn

odd echo
#

your current processor is 2 cores

#

id say upgrade to at least an i5

#

also i cant find any information online about that card

#

idk if its any good

snow rain
odd echo
#

does the gpu have multiple ports on the back?

snow rain
#

85% sure this is it

#

I believe so

balmy dirge
#

i5 is the way to go if you are on a budget

#

and using intel

odd echo
#

you have the 7900 😛

#

not the 7000

snow rain
#

7000 series

#

On wikipedia it has 7900 as a section

odd echo
#

oh

#

haha my bad

#

sorry

snow rain
#

It's all good lol

#

So it's 7-8 years old

balmy dirge
#

lol thats becaus 7900 is part of the 7000 series

snow rain
#

I can go see if I still have the box

odd echo
#

yeah thats probably due for an upgrade too

snow rain
#

See which specific one I have

odd echo
#

can you go to the back of your computer and see the ports it has?

snow rain
#

Lol
"Hey guys I'm looking for some monitors"
"So you'lre gonna need a new computer"

#

Yeah kinda

odd echo
#

oof

snow rain
#

I have a flashlight and eyes

#

Hard to access but doable

odd echo
#

you dont have to

snow rain
#

Some cables barely reach

#

I can pull computer out a bit hto

odd echo
#

but chances are if theres 2 of the same type of port it supports dual monitors

snow rain
#

Yes GPU has 2 ports

odd echo
#

are they the same type?

balmy dirge
#

im sorry but what is the question you are asking?

snow rain
#

Wait

#

No

#

One is just vga and some vents

odd echo
#

o oof

snow rain
#

I'm just trying to figure out what to look for in monitor specs @balmy dirge

odd echo
#

yeah you wont be able to do dual monitors on that

snow rain
#

Dang ok

#

So I would need a new gpu and cpu to support the monitors probably

#

Fun

odd echo
#

maybe not cpu

snow rain
#

MAybe not cpu

#

But def GPU

odd echo
#

but pentium kinda sucks

snow rain
#

^

kindred cape
#

i wish i could get 3 displays working with my pc again

snow rain
#

That isn't news to me lol

balmy dirge
#

wait wait wait... what card do you have

odd echo
#

radeon 9700

snow rain
#

79--

kindred cape
#

ever since i stated using ubuntu i never was ablle to

odd echo
#

wait shoot

snow rain
#

Not sure which one

odd echo
#

7900*

kindred cape
#

started*

odd echo
#

@balmy dirge it only has one video port

#

you couldnt even connect two at once lol

balmy dirge
#

umm

#

you on windows 10

#

if on windows 10 in the search type dxdiag and then run it

#

click on the display tab

#

we can find the exact gpuyou have

snow rain
#

Oh you right

#

That's good because

#

I couldn't find the box it came in

#

I did find an AMD Athlon II CPU and a Radion HD 6870 GPU though

#

And a lot of ram lol

balmy dirge
#

lol

#

i meant exact gpu

#

i feel like all of the 7k series have multimonitor support

#

like you will probably have a vga and hdmi

snow rain
#

That is correct

#

I do have 2 vga and an hdmi

odd echo
#

i was under the impression you only had one vga and thats it

snow rain
#

Nah the 2nd vga is why I at first thought it had 2 identical ports

#

The vga are on top of each other but I couldn't see that under hdmi was just vents

balmy dirge
#

you should be ableto run two monitors

odd echo
#

ok

#

sorry for misleading you

snow rain
#

There's a 4th port there too

odd echo
#

i thought you only had one vga port and that was it

snow rain
#

Looks like HDMI but it seems more rectangular

#

It's next to HDMI

balmy dirge
#

probably display port

odd echo
#

displayport

#

yeah

snow rain
#

(I stg if this whole time I did have two hdmis)

#

Is that a thing?

#

Displayport?

balmy dirge
#

you are good then lol

odd echo
#

yes

warped sigil
#

yes

balmy dirge
#

display port and hdmi

snow rain
#

Oh yeah that

odd echo
#

displayport is good

snow rain
#

I looked it up lol

#

Okay

#

Nice

#

So

#

We never actually discussed monitors lol

#

Besides deciding that I didn't need 4k

balmy dirge
#

i mean what do you want to do?

odd echo
#

any one that can be mounted to a arm and isnt crazy heavy is good

balmy dirge
#

you want pretty or you want fps

snow rain
#

I don't do any graphics intense stuff

odd echo
#

and is actually a name brand

snow rain
#

Idk a decent balance really

#

Certainly at least 60fps

#

Being able to do more would be nice

odd echo
#

yeah ok

#

75hz could be good

snow rain
#

But I don't want to sacrifice pretty (and money) for also speed

balmy dirge
#

how much you willing to spend

snow rain
#

Yeah 75 seems okay

odd echo
#

144hz gets more expensive though

snow rain
#

Idk not that much

odd echo
#

it goes

snow rain
#

How much is the low end of the medium end gonna cost?

#

2 monitors 2 arms

odd echo
#

60hz, 75hz, 144hz, and 240hz

snow rain
#

Identical

#

Yeah 75 sounds like what I need

odd echo
#

those are the standard ones

snow rain
#

144 is a high jump

#

I wouldn't need that much

balmy dirge
#

hmm low end .. 100

snow rain
#

I would settle for 60 though

balmy dirge
#

i wouldn't go anything over 100

snow rain
#

Okay I'd probably be willing to put 150-200 in

odd echo
#

oh also

balmy dirge
#

100hz

snow rain
#

Oh

#

Yeha

#

I don't need many hz

#

75-100 should be plenty

odd echo
#

make sure you get monitors that have the same video connector as your gpu <very important lol

snow rain
#

Lol

#

I must remember that I have 1 hdmi, 1 dp, and 2 vga

#

Wait so

#

If they have different connections

balmy dirge
#

you are going to want to stick to hdmi and display port

snow rain
#

Would there be any slightly noticeable lag between them?

balmy dirge
#

newer monitors will have a dp and an hdmi

snow rain
#

Yeah I wasn't planning on using vga

#

This one might have dp

balmy dirge
#

no you won't notice anyhting like that

snow rain
#

It does have dp

odd echo
#

really just make sure you get the right cables and make sure they all are compatible

snow rain
#

Also I just realized I think this monitor can remove the base

#

So it might actually be mountable to an arm

odd echo
#

most monitors dont come with the stand pre-connected

snow rain
#

Makes sense

odd echo
#

i gotta go

#

sorry

#

cya guys

balmy dirge
#

later

snow rain
#

See ya

#

Thanks for the help!

balmy dirge
#

idgo if you want something not very expensive just stick to 60hz get the same brand. you can probably get something that will soot your needs for $100 each

snow rain
#

This is good

#

Yes

#

Thank you

pale coral
#

144hz for 200$ is common

#

240hz is ~300- 400

balmy dirge
#

240hz is pointless

pale coral
# 
reads on my 240hz
#

👀

balmy dirge
#

he will be good with 60 since he's not really doing anything special

pale coral
#

if your on console or something ye 60 is what u want

snow rain
#

I filtered to 60 and 75

#

But yeah I'm probably gonna drop to just 60

#

Save the moneys

pale coral
#

high refresh IPS monitors are $$$

balmy dirge
#

yup you will be fine

pale coral
#

so ye stay lower 60-75 hz ips monitors since u want color accuracy

snow rain
#

What is PBP?

balmy dirge
#

that's like two pictures on one monitor

snow rain
#

2 inputs splitting the one mon?

#

Cool

#

That's what the icon makes it look like

#

It's a monitor with a line down the middle

balmy dirge
#

yup

snow rain
#

I was trying to see what monitor I currently have

balmy dirge
#

it's a fun feature... though i never really use it lol

snow rain
#

Comp just sees Generic PnP

#

Yeah I'm sure it could have uses

#

Especially on such a wide monitor like mine

balmy dirge
#

my ps4 is connected to my pc monitor so sometimes i do that

#

usually i just do pip though

snow rain
#

Found it

#

That's not a lot of specs but that's the same string as on the back of mine

balmy dirge
#

oh ok... that's a nice monitor

snow rain
#

Apparently lol

#

It's the 55-d

#

So don't look at the wrong one cause newer versions exist

#

But this says Mar 2015 on the sticked

#

So it's not that old

#

55-d isn't on their website anymore

#

But there are a lot of 29UM things

balmy dirge
#

i noticed lol

snow rain
#

Which I assume is 29" ultrawide monitor

#

Theres' the 55-P

#

What might P and D stand for?

#

The P has one more hdmi port

balmy dirge
#

i would assume that is what it means... just a design change in that regards

snow rain
#

Huh neat

#

So this is actually a pretty good monitor

#

It's 29 diagona

#

11 vertical

#

26.8 horizontal

balmy dirge
#

yeah it's not a bad monitor

#

at all

snow rain
#

Including borders it's 27.5"

#

My desk cavity is 48"

#

So to fit two ultrawides, I'd need to shorten it to 24"

#

They'd have to be 29 degrees angled back

#

That's more than I'd like considering it's in a cavity so they're further back from me than if they were sitting on a desk right in front of me

#

Wouldn't feel immersive like less angle does

#

So either I have two different sizes (shiver) or I replace this one

(Or I just don't get a second monitor haha)

What do you all normally use to clean your monitor screens?

gilded ivy
#

prob a damp cloth is the best way

odd echo
#

microfiber cloth lol

gilded ivy
#

yeah

#

best not to use chemicals, never know if that crap might screw up your monitor

#

wAter is beSt

odd echo
#

also dont push too hard on the screen while ur wiping it down

snow rain
#

After a thorough incineration, I've never had a dirty monitor

Kk thank you, that's what I figured but didn't know if anyone had anything special they use

river sorrel
#

Is this a good screen even for a pc

bold basalt
#

I have a 1440p 75Hz AOC 32'' monitor.

#

1080p 60Hz is the Standard these days for gamers.

river sorrel
#

Ok

#

It’s a tv tho

ashen frigate
#

i mean, like @bold basalt said, that is pretty standard. 1080p at 60hz. Since it's a tv, it might have some input lag but you probably won't notice it if you're a casual gamer.

limpid lintel
#

@river sorrel not terrible but at 60 Hz you will be maxed at 60 fps as thats all screen will handle

river sorrel
#

Ok, I’m not really a hardcore gamer

1440p with 75hz?

What refresh rate are you on?
Love = 60Hz
Amazeballs = 120Hz
Pog = 144Hz
plusultra = 240Hz

gilded ivy
#

144hz is the sweet spot for middle ground between all refresh rate monitors

#

240hz expensive, 120hz is a bit choppier but still very smooth, and 60hz is a slideshow

minor ledge
#

woah, can't have you be dissin the 60hz gang like that @gilded ivy

gilded ivy
#

sorry fam

#

we all know

#

we may all come from 60, but we gotta move on from the old slideshows my friend

odd echo
#

wheres 75 😭

gilded ivy
#

pfffff

odd echo
#

lol

gilded ivy
#

that stuff has no difference

#

unless you've never gone anything above 60

odd echo
#

never gone above 60

#

just got 75 and its reeeaaaaalllllyyyy nice

gilded ivy
#

ha.

#

yeah..

#

good for you fam

odd echo
#

the price difference between 144 and 75 was a lot

gilded ivy
#

144hz is like 170-180

#

and though i owe my mom 200 bucks for the monitor with tax, it isnt anything you cant afford with enough saving

#

im most likely gonna pay her back throughout 2020

odd echo
#

eh

#

its not like my computer can even push 144 anyways

gilded ivy
#

yeah

wind osprey
#

Wat

#

You have 144hz that was around 200?

#

Hmu bro plz bro

gilded ivy
#

what?

#

what're you asking

#

you dont know 144hz prices are that low or something

wind osprey
#

Wat kind of monitor you have

gilded ivy
#

im not sure

#

its a curved acer monitor

wind osprey
#

I see I see

gilded ivy
#

was one of the cheapest 144hz monitors i could find

wind osprey
#

I need a new monitor honestly lol

gilded ivy
#

and i grew to love curved monitors

wind osprey
#

I see I see

#

I was looking at 1440p 144hz monitors yesterday and the prices were too much to look at

gilded ivy
#

because whenever i see a flat monitor, i think its curving backwards

#

1080p is fine for me

wind osprey
#

Once I build a new PC, I need to consider a better monitor

#

So I can be epic gamer

gilded ivy
#

lol

wind osprey
#

If I get a good graphics card and CPU, would it be worth upgrading to 144hz monitor

gilded ivy
#

yes

#

you can have an rtx 2080 ti

#

have a 60hz monitor

#

still garbage to your eyes

Ok!

Once you switch to 144hz, you can't ever go back

I have been looking for a 1440p VA or IPS high refresh rate ultrawide monitor, I have been looking at the Monoprice monitor, do you have any recommendations, I would like to keep it around $400

maiden wedge

i did a quick search on that monitor and came across some posts saying it's not actually an IPS

Hello, I've been looking to get a new monitor, I have a dual setup. I'm looking for one that's good for gaming, and can handle 2K 100ms, and good refresh rate, but not crazy in price, anyone can recommend one? I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB graphics card.

maiden wedge
#

100ms?

#

do you mean HZ?

mild glen
#

I mean low delay, for gaming mostly

#

and a good refresh rate

maiden wedge
#

if you're talking about response time, you're looking for MUCH less than 100ms, more like 10ms. input lag should also be way lower than 100ms

mild glen
#

yes you're right

maiden wedge
#

these monitors seem a bit overkill for that GPU tbh

median crow
#

60 hz bad

#

I need a new monitor

maiden wedge
#

budget, GPU?

lofty widget
#

i need friends (:

median crow
#

i'll be your sociopathic assassin

#

I don't know about freand

#

#JD, are you asking me if a need a recommendation, or if you need a recommendation?

maiden wedge
#

yeah are you looking for suggestions?

median crow
#

thats what I was asking you about... I need a moniter not a gpu.

maiden wedge
#

well i was asking about your budget and GPU because a suggestion would be kinda pointless without knowing those

median crow
#

ah sorry.

#

I have a
i9 9900k
16gbs ddr4-2666
1060 6gb

maiden wedge
#

you could get that asus i linked earlier, but do keep in mind that the 1060 is a bit low for QHD 144 HZ in every game

sharp copper
#

You need a better GPU first, m8.

odd echo
#

@sharp copper his gpu has 6gb of ram not 5

sharp copper
#

It's still gonna be a 100% bottleneck.

#

That GPU can't keep up with the CPU at all.

median crow
#

well, I am using the cpu for cading rather then gaming, and yeah I get the fact that the gpu is a bit low in performance comparatively, but cading requires a fairly good cpu, and realyes heavily on that rather then the gpu. And as I am not rendering, it actually makes a bit more sense, to buy a better cpu and weight to buy a better card later.

Any good budget monitors? I have RX580 8gb version and looking for an upgrade on monitor

floral wyvern

what size do you prefer?

maiden wedge
#

that site is complete nonsense and should be taken down. if he plays e-sports titles, the 1060 will be totally fine at 2560x1440

surreal veldt
#

ok so my issue is im gaming on my 4k tv which is good and all but i want to game on a 144hz or higher monitor. im buying a computer desk on the 3rd but my question is to get started should i go with a cheap 144hz 1ms 1080p monitor for temporary use (on a budget) till i can afford a 1440p gaming monitor with gsync? the 1440p will be over 300 and id have to save for few months, if i buy the 1080 for now which is like 150 i can use now and save for more expensive one?

olive token
#

save until you can get that 1440p

#

buying something now just further makes you wait for that 1440p

surreal veldt
#

whats a good one thats still cheap? dont wanna spend 500 on one was looking at 2560x1440 1ms 144hz

#

are refurbs good?

olive token
#

you get what you get. I've bought a few refurb'd items, i've been lucky

surreal veldt
#

was looking at ultra wides but they dont have many at 144hz

olive token
#

23% off

#

75hz tho

surreal veldt
#

yea im tryin find 144hz 1ms

olive token
#

329.00

surreal veldt
#

4ms

olive token
#

yeah

#

are you that pro you need 1ms

surreal veldt
olive token
surreal veldt
#

wow thats cheap

maiden wedge
#

umm, unless you have a ton of input lag going on, 4ms to 1ms won't be noticeable difference. i'm not liking the colors on my samsung UF750 however. if you could, i would suggest avoiding those samsung / innolux panels

surreal veldt
#

ill most likely get the prism on wednesday when i get paid, im on disability so i only get so much to spend per month

#

can anyone explain what a vesa mount is?

odd echo
#

for mounting to a wall or an arm

surreal veldt
#

oo ok

#

if i have a gsync card does it work on freesync monitors also?

odd echo
#

i think so

maiden wedge
#

i don't know the QC on that monitor, might be worth saving up for a more respected brand

#

it does but not always, sometimes partly

odd echo
#

well youre 100% garentueed to get a display with freesync, but im not sure if it will use the freesync technology

surreal veldt
#

so that monitor nogood?

maiden wedge
#

i don't know

surreal veldt
#

its just till i can save up for a swift

#

so maybe 6 months

maiden wedge
#

wait it says TN panel, i thought he posted a VA. yeah, it's bad

surreal veldt
#

something wrong with tn?

maiden wedge
#

not worth $300, bad viewing angles and colors

surreal veldt
#

over half the 1440p 144hz monitors are tn lol

maiden wedge
#

cause it's cheap to manufacture, if you're paying over $300 for one, you should get a VA at least

surreal veldt
#

was trying spend under 300 for now till i can afford one better

#

was thinking of saving for a samsung qled

maiden wedge
#

those are meh, i got one in another PC

#

not as good as their QLED TVs

surreal veldt
maiden wedge
#

get its IPS though

robust salmon
#

just save up for a better swift

surreal veldt
#

no thanks lol

maiden wedge
#

how about no? you're literally posting one of the most expensive monitors out there

surreal veldt
#

for 2k i bet i could find a 144hz tv lol

maiden wedge
#

besides, you don't need that either. just get a 144HZ VA or IPS QUAD HD monitor. not 4k.

robust salmon
#

it was a joke lol]

maiden wedge
#

i want the predator for myself though.. 🙂

surreal veldt
#

its a va

maiden wedge
#

looks good

surreal veldt
#

id have to save up for it thio thats all

#

take me like 3 months lol

maiden wedge
#

or

#

I am getting into coding and game creation in UE4

#

as well as doing the usual gaming

#

IPS or no

floral wyvern
#

IPS is great

#

color-wise, anyway

#

you can get low response time ones

olive token
#

yeah IPS so crisp

#

I prefer VA myself.

surreal veldt
#

@maiden wedge the swift is 525 on newegg atm. not the same exact one but its cheaper and a swift

#

its 1440p 165hz 1ms

maiden wedge
#

@surreal veldt that's a TN though. The reason I have the Swift on there is because it's IPS

#

^

surreal veldt
#

ah im gonna get the tn for lower response

#

and its cheaper also lol

maiden wedge
#

if you want less accurate colors then sure i guess

#

I'm probably going for the IPS TBH. I need some moderate color accuracy for the game design stuff

surreal veldt
#

watched a few video reviews and looks fine to me

maiden wedge
#

i've got a VA panel myself

#

the MSI Optix MPG27CQ

sharp copper
#

Not the best monitor, and I don't even use the speakers but...I like them, they're sleek and nice and I have no problems.

floral wyvern
#

that's like

#

razor thin

surreal veldt
#

only 60hz

floral wyvern
#

i run all 60hz panels

surreal veldt
#

made up my mind im buying this one its brighter than any of the other 144hz 1ms 1440p and its a va

#

it runs as high as 600nits

#

all the other monitors i checked out are 350 to 400 nits

covert solstice
#

how much for a 1440p ips 60<hz? trying to find a budget one if possible

surreal veldt
#

they have cheap 1440p 144hz 1ms for 279

#

offbrand names but theyre cheap

#

thats for 27'' tho

surreal veldt
#

the qled samsung nah. its 600 easy cause every review i do gives positive feedback and the nits on those panels are like 350-400 some even 300 600 is way brighter and it also has 3000/1 contrast the other monitors have 1000/1

#

the samsung your speaking of is it the qled version?

#

i dont like the ultrawide resolutions.. and they cant get over 100hz some 120 but i want 144hz or higher

#

the 144 utrawides are over 1000 dollars.

swift spoke
#

I planning on getting stadia

#

What screen would guys suggest

#

I dont know my budget but pretty sure they are on the borderline

ionic reef
#

look at the QX2710 LED, its a 1440p samsung IPS panel and I overclocked it to 105 Hz, I got it a few years ago for around $200. its not in stock anymore so nevermind

wind osprey
#

Think this is a good deal?

gilded ivy
#

is it used?

floral wyvern
#

that's about how much they're going for on other sites

gilded ivy
#

you can get new ones for under 200

#

180-200 to be exact

*without tax

wind osprey

It's used but he said it's in great condition

nvm its tn

rocky bane
#

Is there a website too know whether or not the monitor you have doesn’t bottleneck your cpu and or gpu

odd echo
#

youre monitor isnt really a bottleneck factor

#

a 144hz monitor is buttery smooth

stoic pilot
#

save up for the Samsung CHG-90

#

is worth every penny

rocky bane
#

Ok cool thanks 👍

odd echo
#

i would only get 144 if ur doing gaming

#

60hz is fine for productivity

rocky bane
#

Yeah I am I’m just trying to decide whether 1440p is recommended for gaming or stick with 1080p

odd echo
#

1440p is great

rocky bane
#

Yeah but it seems a 1440p with 144hz might be to pricey for me

odd echo
#

true

rocky bane
#

Since most of my budget is going towards the CPU and GPU

odd echo
#

1080p is fine honestly

#

unless ur doing ranked esports or something lol

rocky bane
#

Lol naw I’m an all rounder maybe a little on the strategy gaming side like paradox games

odd echo
#

yeah 1080 is fine then

#

just dont sit 2 feet away from ur monitor lol

rocky bane
#

😂 you right I’m gonna go with 1080p with 144hz

odd echo
#

good choice

floral wyvern
#

1080p 144hz is so cheap now

rocky bane
#

That’s great maybe I can get 2 side by side 😂

crystal laurel
#

There a 1080 144s for sub 140 price ranges

It’s a good time to buy imo

so between those two

do you want G-Sync or FreeSync?

Between those two mostly, recently built system had an old ben q, want something better to work with. Did a ton of research, best two were these. Aside from gaming plan to do some adobe software tasks as well

i'd go for the ASUS tbh

G-Sync is better suited to your 2080, and it's higher refresh rate

almost all 60hz 1080p monitors go for under that

you can get a great monitor for $90

gilded ivy

yeah

Freesync on IPS

75hz is the best you can go for under 150

Just set up a second monitor for my setup. I needed another monitor for college work. I got this one at a thrift store for $2. A whopping 60hz 1440x9000 resolution!

Best specs ever

slate hamlet
#

for

#

$2?

novel merlin
#

Yeah

slate hamlet
novel merlin
#

It's honestly a pretty good deal. No dead pixels or scratches.

#

It uses dvi-d, which happens to be a port on my 1060

slate hamlet
#

I had to get an adapter for that cuz my new gpu doesn't have it

novel merlin
#

^

#

I had a 2008 1080p monitor that used dvi-d. Like there are decent resolution monitors with that port so I don't know why all the graphics cards are dropping them

#

The poor display fried one day so I got a 1080p 75 hz "gaming" monitor

gilded ivy
#

oof

slate hamlet
#

wdym why are they dropping them

#

hdmi can do everything DVI-D can do AND throughput audio

#

and if you want higher than 60hz, it's gonna be hdmi or displayport

novel merlin
#

Like, there's room on a lot of these cards for mout outputs.

#

just give us all the options

gilded ivy
#

no

#

maybe not all

slate hamlet
#

it's just not necessary

gilded ivy
#

yeah

if you're still using an old port like me, get an adapter

could take up unnecessary space

hdmi 2.1 is physically identical to it's predecessors for example

#

so you can technically use it

but it seems like people's opinions can change over time and new technologies will be developed

I believe displayPort is physically the same as wel

#

and there's always good ol USB

that's why its 5-10 yrs or whatever

#

cause it be normal
