Looks good, a little too much red but it's ok

Why respond if you don't wanna be helpful?

"Best" is relative to user.

i mean you just kinda said 'Best 1440p 144hz curved gsync monitor (or 4k gsync 144hz)'

I’m okay with my msi monitor but it lacks depth

maiden wedge Jul 10, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

i bought 2 mpg27cq monitors from MSI and both had dead pixels

#

the first one i bought and discovered they were present so i got a replacement and it still had dead pixels

#

i just gave up and i'm using it

#

so i wouldn't recommend MSI really

fading locust Jul 10, 2019, 4:56 AM

Thanks @maiden wedge

what are you looking for?

1080P? 144Hz?

maiden wedge Jul 10, 2019, 4:58 AM

MSI's customer service is fantastic. I had to RMA a mobo once and they paid for the shipping for me to send it to them and they got me a replacement in a week and 1/2.

#

@fading locust oh i managed to replace it with ease

#

their service wasn't bad at all

#

but if i'm getting another monitor it'll most likely be asus

fading locust Jul 10, 2019, 5:02 AM

#

Cool thanks. Is there a gsync version @maiden wedge ?

#

Or is it just compatible

maiden wedge Jul 10, 2019, 5:02 AM

#

unless aorus makes a monitor that's curved, ips, 1440p, 144hz+, and g-sync compatible then i'll be buying that instead

floral wyvern Jul 10, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

you're not going to find a G-Sync monitor for under $200

maiden wedge Jul 10, 2019, 5:03 AM

they just made another monitor and it's got 0.5 ms response time

@fading locust Not on newegg by MSI with those specs but I'll check other brands.

@fading locust with all the specs you wanted and at 1440 this is the only one newegg has that is curved: https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100898493 600417886 600012694 600030985 600559797 600569036

What is good in the 4k range without breaking the bank?

maiden wedge Jul 10, 2019, 5:10 AM

#

@fading locust with all the other same specs like curved, 1ms?

#

and g-sync

#

@fading locust they all break the bank if you want more than 60Hz at 4K.

#

like $1,600 +

fading locust Jul 10, 2019, 5:30 AM

#

Nah I realize with 4k there will be sacrifices

#

What's the best in the 60-100hz range in 4k? No adaptive sync

maiden wedge Jul 10, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

@fading locust Well I can't find any curved 4k monitors but this is a great monitor: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824236688

its only 1080p but its also 240 hertz

slate hamlet Jul 10, 2019, 8:26 PM

compatible means it will work but results are varied

queen fiber Jul 10, 2019, 8:26 PM

#

right

slate hamlet Jul 10, 2019, 8:26 PM

#

Fun fact: part of why g-sync is more expensive is because it actually has its own proprietary hardware. G-sync monitors contain their own cache of RAM

queen fiber Jul 10, 2019, 8:28 PM

#

part of it is also the massive quality control standards

#

it probably costs a 50 grand to test a single display

#

which will probably fail horribly

Yeah right the linus vid, they do crazy crazy testing

32in minimum

maiden wedge Jul 19, 2019, 8:40 AM

24 is really as small as most people would probably feel comfortable using

i definitely can't imagine going to anything smaller, but i have been using dual 27" for a while

I like my 27 monitor but I guess 24 is okay

it fills my vision but if you're used to big screens less than 30" will never be enough is what a friend of mine says

yes, i didn't mean to imply otherwise, 24" is plenty

@sacred furnace Well the Sceptre is better than the Dell specs wise. You'd probably be best off getting an Acer, ASUS, AOC or BenQ though. Even Samsung and HP make a couple good gaming monitors.

they both are 24"

they are both 1MS response time which is best for gaming

are there any between 100-150

if not, i think i am going to go with one of those 2

Not ones that would be good for gaming unless you don't mind a refurb

oblique olive Jul 23, 2019, 4:30 AM

so why is the acer more expensive than the other one

#

are their color stuff good

maiden wedge Jul 23, 2019, 4:33 AM

#

I can't really say 100% for sure. different brands will charge a different price based on what they think is fair for design, features etc.

ok

what do you mean "color stuff"?

like the color quality of the display?

oblique olive Jul 23, 2019, 4:34 AM

#

yes

maiden wedge Jul 23, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

Oh actually that Acer is probably more expensive because it supports nvidia lightboost and supports 3D.

oblique olive Jul 23, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

ok

maiden wedge Jul 23, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

they are both 16.7million colors, which is good but not the best.

maiden wedge Jul 23, 2019, 5:16 AM

#

Definitely don't get that second one, at least not at that price. For that much you could definitely get another 24" 1080p 144hz that at least has a DP port to allow freesync/g-sync compatibility on nvidia cards if that's important to you.

#

What do you plan to use it for?

quick ermine Jul 24, 2019, 2:48 AM

any good 1440p 144hz suggestions for $300? hopefully under 4 ms

But really it'll be whatever is on sale. At that price range you're probably looking for a 27" TN panel, maybe VA panel with g-sync, maybe g-sync compatible.

@odd echo I couldn't help noticing you recommended a freesync monitor for an Nvidia graphics card. Is Gsync not better/isn't freesync useless without amd gfx?

odd echo Jul 31, 2019, 7:43 PM

#

well

#

the monitors that are 1440p, 144hz, and gsync cost a pretty penny

#

📎 unknown.png

#

and if im not mistaken you can use gsync with freesync stuff

#

i could be wrong

#

but i thought i heard that somewhere

yeah i use freesync for gsync and vsync

freesync

maiden wedge Aug 1, 2019, 4:51 AM

I'd think most curved 120+Hz displays would have at least freesync support. Did you find some that you were considering that lacked it?

there's 144hz curved monitors that got freesync

maiden wedge Aug 1, 2019, 9:45 AM

#

Depends what game, but generally 1440p 144hz or 1080p 240hz. If you really want, 4k 120hz

analog shell Aug 1, 2019, 9:45 AM

#

1440 high refresh IMO is best. 240hz isn’t worth the price imo at all, 4k is really not for gaming unless you want to do more cinematic games and stuff

It really depends what game, and how competitively you play. Rather, if you value competitive advantage vs nicer colors/more res for office/photo work etc.

maiden wedge Aug 1, 2019, 10:05 AM

#

i have an acer x27 and a 2080ti and it is really, really nice, but it's got caveats. if feel the urge to have the newest and coolest stuff - a lil opinion after using it for 7-8 months i have found i notice higher fps more often than the higher resolution while gaming, and if you are looking for raw fps, 1440 will be much easier to reliably push high fps. the other parts of the x27 with the hdr and local backlighting, etc., you definitely notice and are very nice, and the gsync hdr ultimate or whatever it's called (1000 nits brightness, hdr support, gsync) are all things that should be seen

#

the dream would be taking all the aspects of the panel in the x27/asus pg27uq and putting them in a 1440 ips panel with 1000 nits, 10 bit color, etc

#

the monitor is gorgeous, but until i'm reliably getting 90+ fps in 4k in everything i play, i will always want for more lol

maiden hollow Aug 1, 2019, 10:18 AM

#

Ok, thanks guys you all pretty much confirmed what I was thinking

maiden wedge Aug 1, 2019, 10:25 AM

#

i tried reading that and it made no sense lol

#

see if they release a 1440 1000 nits 144hz ips panel

#

that would be the truth

maiden wedge Aug 1, 2019, 10:55 AM

#

on one hand, this monitor is compelling enough to make you demand 4k 120+ fps, but on the other hand, that necessitates a second 2080ti lol

I have a distinctly non-gamer question. I need a 27"+ display for a Surface Pro 6 (I7, 16gb). My interest is mainly text - i need to see several documents at once, with bright and crisp text; pics and videos are only a minor consideration, any display I've seen recently will do. (My gaming tapered off after tetris!) Is 4k worth it for text? Any specific suggestions?

wary sleet Aug 4, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

@jolly blaze 4K does make text alot more crisp, as well as photos and images, but it is up to you on whether or not you want to get a 4K screen, since 4k is not a necessity. If you are willing to spend a bit more for a screen, i would say it is worth it, and getting a 27 inch 4k screen is much better than getting a 40+ inch screen, due to pixel density. this means that getting a 27 inch screen with 4k looks nicer than a 40 inch screen with 4k

jolly blaze Aug 4, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

That is great information, just what I needed. Thanks!

maiden wedge Aug 4, 2019, 9:05 PM

Definitely consider 32" as well. Display choice is largely personal preference. I think the best way to get a feel for what you're interested in is to go check out a best buy, microcenter or something. I wouldn't buy on the spot, but take some pictures and give us your thoughts.

I want to get into 4k had a 1440p monitor but got a 2080ti that has no support for dvi,was thinking about a 40ish 4k tv or would I be better off with a monitor ,the tv is alot cheaper and i dont care much about the refresh rate even the 1440p was 60 hz

maiden wedge Aug 6, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

@loud bane Still better to go with a monitor as most TV's will have more motion blur than a good gaming monitor.

wary sleet Aug 7, 2019, 1:35 AM

#

@loud bane you will also want to put the delay into consideration, because tv's have much higher delay than monitors, which is bad if you want to game

Thanks for the help @maiden wedge I did get a tv but it has extremely how input lag and honestly is 1000 times better then my other moniter ,but it does help it goes to 120hz on 1080p and it was 150$ off :)) 43" might have been a little big tho lol

maiden wedge Aug 7, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

@loud bane Ok, well as long as you like it. I forgot to mention a lot of ghosting, which looks like motion blur, can be from a high ms response time. The best gaming monitors have 1ms response time.

It is TN though so you get worse viewing angles, and worse color accuracy than VA or IPS

Guys I know I'm a bit late but don't you have to use DP with gsync? @radiant rapids @odd echo

#

@wind osprey and @radiant rapids when you have the two monitors plugged in, (presuming you're using windows) you'll be able to set refresh rates per monitor via the nvidia control panel (or AMD equivalent). I have one at 144hz and one at 60 and never have any issues

#

You can also control resolution, HDR support, etc., on a per monitor basis. I have a 4k 144hz panel as my primary and an ancient 60hz 1080 panel as my secondary and have full hdr and gsync support on my main, with all that disabled on my secondary as the second one doesn't even support those features.

What is the deal and hype around things like G-sync? Isn't it just a better new kind of v-sync with roughly the same issues?

#

Been really confused on this topic lately, as I just don't use it and many top esports players don't use it. But so many people act like you should use it.

#

It gets even more confusing when people discuss setting up G-sync when people talk about limiting FPS. Which is a terrible idea for competitive titles. Especially things like the unreal engine where higher FPS=Slightly faster rate of fire in games like fortnite. But yet, it's a curious topic as I can't find reasons to actually use G-Sync or positives for it.

#

i was thinking of getting a IPS 1440p monitor with at least 100hz but they all are at 4ms response time but i see that they also have a overdrive system and claim it goes to 1ms due to it. So does it really make it as good in response time as the TN and VA monitors?

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 1:07 PM

#

I'd check rtings, tftcentral, blurbusters for a review and see what the recommend. 99% of the time I'm telling people "it depends on your use case for x setting", but overdrive is very rarely in line with that blanket rule.

wary sleet Aug 12, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

Yes

#

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

@zinc garnet there's a few things to wade through in your question so i'll have my morning coffee and dabs and reply to it slowly lol

#

gsync is like vsync on paper but superior in many ways, freesync is also a superior solution but not quite as fleshed out as gsync. for the sake of my points here, any time i use gsync you can interchange freesync as they operate very similarly, but there are a couple places where they differ and i will make specific mention of that. the biggest difference you will feel when using gsync is a lower input latency, and for the times that you game drops below 60 fps, you'll really notice it as tearing will be completely eliminated. gsync and freesync have similar net results in terms of matching refresh rate to your actual FPS output, but freesync has a more limited range in which it applies (usually 30-75fps or 30-100fps, there are probably a couple outliers) which, generally speaking, is fine because you won't notice tearing at uncapped fps anyway.

gsync's range is 1-120 fps, so it essentially is always in play. gsync and yes your theory about pro players not using it is accurate, they want fps and nothing else. - whether it's the computers they compete on in a LAN or their home computers, they are probably pumping out FPS beyond the gsync range and don't really care about having gsync on because the higher fps is what they're looking for anyway. gsync will tear if you have it on, but are giving it more frames than it can deal with, so if you're never dropping below like 150 fps, then yeah gsync is going to cause you issues.

so now comes in the point of gsync being useful for you - is it good, useful tech? it's awesome tech, a definite game changer for display tech. but if you're going to turn down all graphical settings so you can pump fps super high anyway, then you're going to lose a lot of usefulness.

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

That's a long explanation. But yeah, most competitive gamers with high end systems are pushing for 300+ fps. But then if it's not really useful for gamers that play multiplayer games, why is it constantly marketed towards us?

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

cuz it's really good tech

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

But atleast I've came to the conclusion that it's kind of useless for me though

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

honestly, you just choose what you want more

#

i play more than just dota 2 for example

#

in dota 2 i am ~120 fps in 4k

#

but in metro exodus, i am not and gsync is a very tangible thing

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

Higher fps for faster, Rate of fire in some engines, and less stuttering in case scenarios.

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

but if you're only playing CS:GO, then yeah it's not as compelling

#

at super high refresh rates above 120 anyway you're going to have such a naturally low input lag anyway that the input lag reduction that gsync offers will not be a big difference

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

Yeah but most guides say to lock framerate with gsync.

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

i cap all my games at 120hz

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

which is really terrible for things like unreal engine where a SMG can actually shoot faster at 240+fps vs 60.

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

or 144hz in the games where i can reliably get it

#

sounds like you have your answer then 😃

#

i am not in a position to reliably get higher than 120 fps though so i keep it on

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

Yeah this whole debate when googling Gsync stuff is always it's amazing, like it's the best thing ever no downsides. Then on the esports gaming side no one uses it, But I see ads everywhere for it lol.

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

well, again, when it's actually utilized and you're in gsync range, it's killer tech

#

so if you're doing games where it's regularly ~60 fps

#

some people play apex with all the eye candy on and at 60 fps vs. turning everything off and getting double that

#

i don't know why, but they do

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

Which side the eyecandy or the everything off?

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

sorry, i meant keeping eye candy on, don't get that in a twitchy game

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

Everything off, opens up more visibility, less grass less effects that clutter the screen and the apex engine is another one where rate of fire is affected slightly by frame rate

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

it's just an example, i am sure you will find lots of people that play whatever games with eye candy on and prefer it that way

#

i know in the games where i am not gpu-bound and can hit that 120 fps cap with eye candy on, i have it all on

#

but that's like...dota 2 and that's it

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

I'm mostly on the competitive side of things. So a lot of people that try seriously have most everything off or low.

yea if you are looking at a monitor then, just get some fast TN panel if you don't give a hoot about anything but fps

#

i think the asus pg258q has full 1-240fps gsync coverage, so for example that would be the dream

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

That would still be out of my current fps range

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

too high?

#

you can limit gysnc/fps to whatever your fps regularly sits at

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

I'm averaging about 360 fps

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

but there aren't any monitors on the market faster than 240 without weird overclocking and downscaling and stuff

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 4:07 PM

#

Still thinking just a decent refresh and response time is good enough

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 4:08 PM

#

yea, i dunno how much of a difference the reduction in input lag from gsync will have when you're at 240hz anyway

#

i am not sure how many monitors that run 240hz aren't gsync or freesync though

#

so even if you don't want it, if you want the fastest monitors, you may be stuck with it

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

I have mine off, but I've always been unsure just because everyone tells me to turn it on lol

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

but you can always disable it

#

if you had the pg258q, and if my assumption that the gsync module in that covers from 1-240hz is correct, i would tell you to turn gsync on in that case

#

but if you have a 1-120hz monitor that has gysnc and you're at 300+ fps, then yes it will probably tear if you have gsync on

#

This entire write-up is worth a read, but here's the conclusion page regarding optimal VRR settings.
https://www.blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/14/

zinc garnet Aug 12, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

eh it recommends to limit frame rate though

#

That may be optimal for gsync visual clarity, but not for gameplay

maiden wedge Aug 12, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

Depends on the game, how consistently your pc an maintain framerates at or above native refresh, and of course preference.

#

if you're regularly way way above native refresh, you may even get better input times with gsync on and playing capped at native-3

#

if i am understanding the info from blurbusters correctly

#

i definitely don't have the equipment to measure that stuff

#

Pretty much. There are just a ton of factors that affect the frametime distribution curve. It's like when people say "7700k will always bottleneck a 2080 ti"'

#

True, it can, but there are definitely a ton of popular games where it won't

#

But again, only in certain edge cases of those games themselves

#

i play with gsync on in everything and i can't quantify how much better of an experience it is other than just telling you that it's hard to go back, even if your game is running at 300 fps it's still only showing you 120 updates a second (or whatever your refresh rate is) so your actual real world response time is the same, as it's "bottlenecked" by the monitor. so even if the game at 300 fps COULD take the increased number of inputs, you're still only able to respond to the 120 fps your monitor is giving you

#

so at that point i would just use gsync and get all the benefits of it

#

but maybe i am fundamentally misunderstanding some things

#

i should say i went from a 980ti and 60hz no gsync panel to a 2080ti and a 4k gsync panel so there were other changes

#

Nah, you got it, the important takeaway is that G-sync is most useful in games where there's a ton of play time during which fps fluctuates under the native refresh

#

So Apex, BF V, .. probably others, I don't really game

#

here, let's put it another way

#

PUBG used to be a huge one, that's what got me to buy a g-sync monitor a while ago, but the new patch is great.

#

try both ways and see what you like

#

haha

#

haha definitely agree with that one.

#

Look into "fast sync" in the nvcp, that option isn't really related to g-sync, but it's like a minimal input lag implementation of v-sync when you know you can get 2-3x the native refresh in fps

#

If I played csgo or something, I'd probably give that a look

#

so in my experience going from that 60 hz non-gsync to the 144hz 4k gysnc, dota is much more responsive with gsync on even though both never dropped far below fps cap

#

as that is mostly what i play

#

i can attest to gsync improving response time tangibly

#

Haha well, if you're on a 144 4k g-sync, I'm assuming the rest of the system is a 9900k/2080+ or equivalent.

#

no i need to upgrade my cpu, but i have a 2080ti yeah

#

6700k is long in the teeth nowadays lol

#

in b4 "why do you play dota"

#

True, actually the 7700k example I gave was my own use case a few months ago, apex simply didn't need more to cap at 160, and keep .1%ile low at 158 even while streaming

#

IIRC the 6700k and 7700k are some of the most closely performing intel gens

#

i was due for an upgrade anyway. i have been running this 24/7 for a few years and it worries me

#

they are, yeah, but the 3900x is looking very compelling

#

by the time my current 970 evo is looking for greener pastures, they'll have those new 1million iops pcie4 ssds out lol

#

zoom zoom

#

True, 3900x/x570 is hard to criticize for any high end build. Though, I'd say if you're into both CPU and especially memory OC, stay on z390.

#

Well, unless you actually use high thread worklodas

#

honestly, my 6700k is pretty stock, 4.3 i think on air

#

Like single pc x264 encode streaming

#

i could get more life out of it for sure, and no, i only game

#

I want to find a home for my z270 boards 😦

#

i might wait for 10th gen and see how those turn out, cuz i'm not dying to swap this out. and at that point a 9900k will be pretty cheap anyway and still be plenty for time to come

#

but that doesn't make much sense cuz i don't see the 9900k getting considerably less expensive than a 3900x, anyway i'm going OT lol oops

#

Ya, or some amazing z390/9900kf deal like the $620 combo with the aous master last month.

#

Wish I got that too tbh

#

wow what?

#

feelsverybadman

#

Maybe it was 640, but still the 9900kf was on sale for like 420, the mobo after combo discount was like 220. it's also my first (not $500) z390 choice pick

I think there are points of diminishing returns, especially around $300 for gaming, but for something that some people spend hours a day staring at from 2 feet away, I think it's important to consider if whatever features or performance higher ends models will justify their cost.

I just recommended a friend buy two of those, he ordered two yesterday.
I would never recommend them for gaming.

My display i am using is a Samsung FreeSync monitor default 60hz but i have it running at 72hz and it is a PLS panel

are refurbs good? do they last long?

often hit or miss

sometimes as good as brand new, sometimes DOA, sometimes dies right after the return time

Anyone know of a good 24 inch 144hz 1080p monitor? Don't have too much room to work with on my desk. I want to get a 27 inch but I have speakers and a lamp on my desk that takes up some space.

ye

#

there are plenty with some decent features for less than 200

#

there there are several so it's harder to recommend the best out of those

maiden wedge Aug 16, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

What website we talking here? Newegg, amazon, best buy?

#

Budget?

gilded ivy Aug 16, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

amazon and newegg

#

both have similar good monitors

#

mine is a curved 23.5 monitor if you really care about that half of an inch

I've been looking for a high refresh rate ultrawide in the $300 range. Are there any out there that I'm just overlooking?

maiden wedge Aug 17, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

@remote ice I'd recommend one of these two if $300 is the budget
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/aoc-agon-ag271qx-vs-dell-s2719dgf/521/743

#

Or the 24" 1080p you linked or equivalent at the same size/res if $150 is the budget.

remote ice Aug 17, 2019, 12:28 AM

#

the guy im looking at it for his budget is 600-700$ for a whole new pc build

maiden wedge Aug 17, 2019, 12:31 AM

#

Ah, $300 monitor is probably out of the question then

remote ice Aug 17, 2019, 12:31 AM

#

ya

#

i did find this one https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824112046

maiden wedge Aug 17, 2019, 12:32 AM

#

Might be able to spend less

remote ice Aug 17, 2019, 12:32 AM

#

prob better than the one before even though it doesnt have the adjustments

hasty quail Aug 17, 2019, 12:32 AM

#

if only ips 4k high refresh rate was cheaper lol

maiden wedge Aug 17, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

IPS vs TN isn't objectively better. TN mainly sacrifices viewing angle for pixel response time.

hasty quail Aug 17, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

how about color?

maiden wedge Aug 17, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

"IPS has better color than TN" was more of a thing 5 years ago. Today, it's only true if you buy a cheapo monitor that's ~5 year old tech etc

hasty quail Aug 17, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

Right about when I bought this current ips I ahve lol

maiden wedge Aug 17, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

To clarify, a decent quality TN today will have acceptable viewing angle, contrast, color, etc

remote ice Aug 17, 2019, 12:48 AM

#

anyone know of a cheaper monitor with these features? https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824112046

#

144hz is fine too

#

mm maybe this one is better https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GD7H18F/?tag=pcpapi-20&th=1

maiden wedge Aug 17, 2019, 1:54 AM

#

@remote ice This is the cheapest of a good brand: https://www.newegg.com/p/0JC-0015-00440?Item=9SIA2F88F35147 I would not buy Sceptre as I hear they buy parts that are not up to par from other manufacturers and use them in their monitors, TV's, etc. Sceptre is kind of a throw-away brand, when it breaks, throw it away, lol. I see TV's of theirs at the dump all the time that died after only a couple years.

maiden wedge Aug 17, 2019, 12:21 PM

#

Need some help please. What do I need for dual monitoring and what monitors are the best for financial modeling/excel work

maiden wedge Aug 17, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

well, you don't really need anything more than two monitors tbh (presuming your computer has the proper outputs, but anything remotely modern should have two video outputs), so you may have to give us more to go on. if you know you're only ever going to do office/non-gaming work, that will help narrow down your choices. i guess my biggest questions are how much desk space do you have? how large of monitors do you want? perhaps a single, ultrawide with no bezels may fill your needs better

#

do you need a wall mount? or a desk mount? or are you just going to have them on their stands on the desk next to each other?

#

i think an ultrawide will be very nice for something like excel, where you don't have bezels interrupting your cells

remote ice Aug 17, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

is AOC a low quality brand?

#

i read that its known for its low price point

odd echo Aug 17, 2019, 6:08 PM

remote ice Aug 17, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

sadly newegg sells it as a much higher price

mossy fjord Aug 17, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

But with price comes quality

remote ice Aug 17, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

i suppose but then it would other monitors more worth it at the price they sell it for

#

they sell it for $70+ more than the one i posted

mossy fjord Aug 17, 2019, 6:15 PM

Yeah the ones you shared were more then that

you run the risk of it being damaged

refurbs with monitors are kinda risky with dead pixel stuff
