says it works with gsync not officially but customers says it works

i wouldnt trust that
mossy fjord
what even is gsync
mossy fjord
oh nvm i know what it is just had forgotten the name
covert solstice
but more expensive cause its nvidia and not amd
mossy fjord
lol
odd echo
thats accurate
maiden wedge
gsync is nvidia and freesync is AMD.
covert solstice
^
odd echo
^
covert solstice
but nvidia cards work on freesync
mossy fjord
and what is vsync
odd echo
vsync is meant to regulate the framerate
so youre not getting like 60 then 79 and then 86 then 72
surreal veldt
vsync came first then gsync then freesync
odd echo
they are two totally different things
mossy fjord
when its not on there is so much screen tear
mossy fjord
cya
mossy fjord
oh i get it @maiden wedge Freesync is like v sync but doesnt cap your fps to your monitor refreshrate
surreal veldt
freesync also stops screen tearing
i mean id rather get freesync than gsync cause atleast u might be able to use gsync with it but if you get a gsync monitor im sure no gsync monitors work with freesync
late hatch
That links explanation of freesync and gsync is not quite right. Tearing Happens when your monitors refresh rate (hz) doesnt match the fps from your gpu. The monitor ends up drawing the same frame twice (stutter) or you end with parts of two different frames drawn on the screen at the same time, but one frame will be on the bottom part of the screen and the other frame is on the top. Sometimes with stutter you can end up with the same frame being drawn twice, but bottom part of the picture would be at the top (like you cut someones legs off the bottom of a picture and put it on top of their head) With freesync and gsync the card and monitor work toghether and will change the refresh rate of the monitor in real time to match your fps from your gpu as long as your are within its range. It will not draw a frame on the screen unless its a complete frame unless you are outside the range. it will either wait for the next frame or with some monitors it will draw an entire frame twice so you dont get flickering on the screen from blank frames. The official range for freesync is something like 9 to 240hz coming from the gpu, but most monitors cant go anywhere near that range. Most of the cheaper freesync panels that you see with 144hz refresh rate only have a freesync range of somewhere around 50 to 150fps. most of the ones you see with 75hz refresh only have a range of 48-75hz which is very narrow. Like my monitor can sync anything from 38hz up to 148hz.
if I go outside of that range I will start getting tearing again. I cap my framerate in games to 140hz to keep it from going too high since I have a 2080 (gsync works on this monitor) on a 1080p monitor and it will go too high. Some monitors have an extra chip built in that will double the refresh rate of the monitor to 2x the fps and draw the same frame twice in a row if your frame rate drops below the minimum freesync range. So if your monitors minimum freesync range was 40, but you dropped to 30fps, then the monitor would double the refresh rate to 60fps and fill in those extra 30 frames by drawing every frame twice.

I just bought an ibuypower from newegg. It came with the hdmi port in the video card active and the onboard hdmi port inactive. I'm having trouble locating this in the control panel/bios. Does anyone have experience with this?
maiden wedge
do you mean you're not getting any video output from the HDMI output on the motherboard?
@amber sigil
that is by design because that is for integrated video, i do not believe there is a way to route output from your video card through that port, so you will just have to use another port on your video card if you are looking to hook up a second monitor

wise mountain
4k or 1440p 144hz or 1080p 240hz (I like my refresh rates)
gilded ivy
since i personally dont really care about res and am satisfied with 1080p, id say 1080p 240hz, but everyone has their own tastes
wise mountain
is 240hz worth the upgrade over 144hz
cloud seal
Nope...
wise mountain
is 2k worth the upgrade over 1080p
cloud seal
It’s cleaner and crisper... but unless you are doing photography or video crap... you will not see a massive difference.

ye, thats a pretty decent midground
gusty bloom
1440p is amazing
gilded ivy
i have a 1080 144hz monitor and im fully satisfied
cloud seal
👆👆👆👆
gusty bloom
yeah honestly even when i played R6 in college i was fine on 144hz
gilded ivy
if im satisfied with that, imagine my reaction to something higher than that
gusty bloom
and i played it in 1080 anyways so i could get frames
wise mountain
yes, i have 1440p display on my phone and i sometimes wish i had it for my computer, i may go with that
wise mountain
I play 1080p and get excess of frames lol, thats why im considering upgrading
smoky thicket
you need a really beefy pc to push to 240+ hz anyways
gusty bloom
if you get 1080p 25" is the max size
gilded ivy
how much are 1440p 144hz monitors usually
smoky thicket
300+
gusty bloom
mine was 400
gilded ivy
what is the average
smoky thicket
400
gusty bloom
350-400
wise mountain
I see most for like 350
gusty bloom
theyre around 350-400
gilded ivy
so it's similar
wise mountain
same price, most are more expensive if you go like ROG or some crap
gilded ivy
for me, i really like my frames, but im genuinely totally satisfied with my monitor that i havent even paid off my mom yet lol
gusty bloom
1440p 144hz is really amazing tho

errant meadow
So I’m looking for a 1080p, 144hz, 1ms response time with AMD freesync. Suggestions? Lol
gusty bloom
@errant meadow MSI Optix MAG241C
I wouldnt go any larger than a 25" monitor
The pixel density of 1080p will make it look bad at anything bigger
errant meadow
Alright, good to know. Thanks!👍🏻
errant meadow
I’m back. I looked at reviews and it seems like VA panels aren’t the way to go because it like flickers to get that 1ms response time?
gusty bloom
I use a va panel and havent had issues
solemn yarrow
I used a VA panel once and it bothered my eyes
For me i have to use TN, IPS or PLS panels
errant meadow
Yeah, I’m looking for a TN panel. What are considered “the best brands”
maiden wedge
Let's flip the question - what are your targets in terms of fps and resolution and budget?
Cuz a lot of brands use panels from just a couple major manufacturers, so at a point the differentiating features are not always the panel itself
Oops. I see your first post above asking that lol. That msi monitor is one of my first suggestions too, although I haven't used one personally
errant meadow
I’m new to the PC world and I’m building my first one. It will be mostly for streaming while I play on Xbox but I will play on the PC sometimes too. Yeah I thought about that one but I looked at reviews.
solemn yarrow
Other pretty good brands out there is Acer and LG
errant meadow
Yeah friend told me to look at Acer Predators but that’s outta my price range.
maiden wedge
Being Frank, with more entry level stuff, you're going to have to compromise somewhere. I've never noticed VA flicker but clearly ymmv
errant meadow
I just saw a review of it
solemn yarrow
Hi Frank
maiden wedge
I don't know much about an xbox, can they run uncapped fps at 1080? Cuz if they're capped at 60 fps in 1080 resolution, and you don't have a PC powerful enough to pump out high fps at 1080, you would be fine with a 60hz panel
solemn yarrow
For consoles depending on the game there will be a locked cap
some can be locked at 60 while others are locked at 30
maiden wedge
Ok, the net result is the same, the xbox won't be outputting more than 60 fps
What kind of GPU are you running in your computer @errant meadow ?
errant meadow
GTX 1660 Ti 6GB
maiden wedge
What games will you mostly be playing on PC? If they're things that you'll be getting way over 60 fps in regularly, or not?
Cs:go, rocket league? Or more graphically intense stuff
solemn yarrow
This is a pretty good monitor https://www.newegg.com/viewsonic-xg240r-24-full-hd/p/3C6-0081-00007
errant meadow
Umm I’d say shooters like PubG and Siege but also things like Subnautica
solemn yarrow
That monitor you should be able to get FreeSync out of it for your 1660 Ti
When looking around i looked at what can be affordable and what fits his needs and also since he wanted a FreeSync monitor it would need to have a DP in it as well
and besides View Sonic is still a good company as well
maiden wedge
https://m.newegg.com/product/9SIACTN8YK6460?m_ver=1 would be just about where I started and where I finished
But throw a dart at the ~$200 range and you're bound to hit a good 1080/144hz tn panel
covert solstice
errant meadow
I mean I can spend 250-300ish
maiden wedge
You can almost step up to an IPS panel with $300 budget
ASUS VG279Q Black 27" 1ms MPRT , 3ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen Gaming Monitor, Full HD, IPS, 144Hz, Adaptive-Sync 400 cd/m2 ASCR 100,000,000:1 (1,000:1) https://m.newegg.com/product/N82E16824236942?m_ver=1
But that's not "1ms" response time
maiden wedge
I digress. I think the Dell panel and the view sonic linked will be solid, that AOC is also fine although my personal experience with their monitors has been poor - not due to panel quality, but the pot metal screws they put in the stand to keep the monitor standing up shattered for me as an AOC monitor was on my desk, monitor fell, broke
If you want to do a GPU shuffle, a 5700 would be a tangible upgrade but then you deal with all the hassle of locating a new card and selling your current card
errant meadow
I haven’t bought anything. Was gonna buy it all at once
maiden wedge
Do you have a pcpartspicker list I could review and advise you on?
Or if you want just dm me a budget and I'll throw something together quickly for you
solemn yarrow
I have used a lot of monitors in the past so i tend to get what i like the most
Samsung is good and they use a PLS panel but they can also get pretty expensive and then there is LG which i liked using back in 2011 to 2014 and View Sonic i never really had issues with
I recently bought as well for 5$ a view sonic 19" 4:3 monitor but that is cause of my arcade bartop i am building
@errant meadow for monitor wise you have a lot of good options
errant meadow
@maiden wedge https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FDVtXP
solemn yarrow
It is a pretty good build
I would say if you don't plan on overclocking stick with the 2600X but if you want to overclock you can go with the non X model
@errant meadow Also good choice on the motherboard
I know a lot of people using that one and they have had no issues at all
errant meadow
Idk how to overclock lol
solemn yarrow
Well overclocking there are guides that would show you the safest overclocking
maiden wedge
At a certain point, it's LG, AUO, and Samsung making the actual panels for the overwhelming majority of monitors out there, so it's going to fall to budget and aesthetic preference, and that build looks fine other than the lack of drives. But I presume you're scavenging other drives from your current pc?
solemn yarrow
@errant meadow The one thing i would suggest as well for your build is adding something like this in it https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-hyper-212-evo-rr-212e-20pk-r2/p/N82E16835103099
errant meadow
@maiden wedge no, this is my first ever PC. That list isn’t finished yet.
maiden wedge
i'd really, really strongly recommend getting a SSD of some sort, i think the intel 660ps are pretty good for a general use drive, something like this https://www.newegg.com/intel-660p-series-1tb/p/N82E16820167462
you can get a 500gb one for a little less if you're trying to stay under $800
solemn yarrow
Or could use a 500gb NVMe and a 1TB HDD
maiden wedge
but i think you'll feel like you're running out of space with 500Gb
platter drives are dinosaurs but are cheap
solemn yarrow
@maiden wedge There is also that thing with AMD to merge a SSD with a HDD
maiden wedge
at that point just get a SSD, they're cheap enough nowadays
solemn yarrow
i forgot the name for it cause i haven't talked about it in a long time lol
maiden wedge
a hybrid drive
solemn yarrow
No no not a hybrid drive
maiden wedge
a ramdisk?
cuz that's not with a SSD, that uses your RAM as a super fast ssd, in essence
solemn yarrow
StoreMI
maiden wedge
cuz WD and i think seagate have been making drives that kind of use a SSD as a cache of sorts for a platter drive, and if that's not what you mean i dunno what you mean
...that doesn't even apply to b450 motherboards
solemn yarrow
It actually does
@maiden wedge https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450M Steel Legend/#Specification look at the unique features
StoreMI works mainly with X370, B450 and X470 and so on
It is B350 that it doesn't work
errant meadow
My brain lol
solemn yarrow
Sangy this is all a dream lol
maiden wedge
seems like a bunch of work for something kind of irrelevant, i would just get that 660p and go from there
or some other entry level nvme drive
solemn yarrow
Well not really a lot of work just a simple click
As AMD explained how it works is that when you are playing a game or using a video editor for heavy work loads everything would be moved to the SSD and when things are done it will go back to the HDD
also when using a 500gb SSD and a 1TB HDD when using that Windows will see a single 1.5TB drive
maiden wedge
so, why not get just a larger capacity ssd that costs as much as a small ssd and platter drive would and avoid all this?
i don't see the need to complicate things
make things easier
solemn yarrow
Nothing is really complicated
maiden wedge
alright
solemn yarrow
If my system wasn't mainly SSD's and SSHD i would be using that as well lol
Trust me when using thing like StoreMI you just open the app select the drives and then click to merge it
maiden wedge
adding more parts, more points of failure, especially with something as unreliable (relatively speaking) as a platter drive IS complicating it
he doesn't want all this
he just wants something to put together and play with
errant meadow
So in conclusion; I should get ____
solemn yarrow
You could just get a NVMe but i would suggest getting a heatsink for it as well
maiden wedge
i don't think fiddling with any of that extra stuff will benefit you that much, when just getting that 660p will give you what you need
solemn yarrow
Anyways this topic should be in the #building-and-recc-chat

CSGO / Overwatch also benefit from higher framerate due to how the engine is coded. A lot of people tweak overwatch to 400+ fps

if you're wanting max FPS you should probably go 1080p 240Hz not 1440p because of the performance drop
unless you have some behemoth GPU

Is 2070 super behemoth
spare egret
nope

but like if you're going for high FPS because of game engines whatever you should probably just get a 1080p 240Hz monitor

Hello all, I just got an ASUS VG278Q today -- used display port to hook it up -- the volume is incredibly quiet at 100% 100%, I can barely hear anything, anyone have any idea why?
maiden wedge
Volume from the display's speakers? or?
obsidian jetty
from the monitor, I have no speakers
for instance I can hear people talking, but not the music in the background
maiden wedge
Have you adjusted the volume both in windows and again on the on screen display?
obsidian jetty
yes
maiden wedge
What GPU?
obsidian jetty
On my old monitor all I needed for volume was the HDMI cable plugged in, this came with a green audio 3.5mm cable
gtx 1060 3gb
maiden wedge
You can send audio over DP
obsidian jetty
Thats what Im doing now, would it be louder ya think if I somehow got it through the green tipped cable?
or maybe I just need to buy speakers?
maiden wedge
Possibly, what does your volume in windows look like under sound control panel?
obsidian jetty
maiden wedge
Have you looked around in there? Maybe audio ducking is on
solemn yarrow
@obsidian jetty look in these settings https://i.gyazo.com/b97d4bcaf1c38c54895e439cf4a89fe6.png
Also another thing is with monitor speakers is the display panel press the settings button on it which should give you an option for speakers
@maiden wedge you can confirm this right?
obsidian jetty
thanks guys
I found out it is just naturally less loud than the tv/monitor I used before
Can Ia sk one last question, this is gsync capable, I've googled it but nothing is the same for me
How do I make sure gsync is enabled and on?
its supposed to be in here but I don't see it
maiden wedge
For sound, this is what I meant by sound control panel, not volume mixer. Idk why it took until this update for people to realize this windows utility exists lol. https://puu.sh/Eg8A1/ba42d218d2.gif
How do you like the monitor so far?
obsidian jetty
The colors were incredibly bright at first, but I googled it, others had same issue, some guy found good settings, copied them, and it looks good
just wish I could wall mount it :(
takes up so much space on desk
solemn yarrow
Just buy a wall mount then
should be like 20$ for it is your monitor isn't that big

On my asus PG279QZ, the power light is red in g-sync mode, white in fixed refresh. The on screen display menu will show that as well.
obsidian jetty
ahh, ty

rtings.com, blurbusters, and tftcentral , then maybe tomshardware are good places to find color/mode settings.
Lastly, this sounds dumb, but download the monitor driver

436.15? What about the on screen display
obsidian jetty
apparently others have had issue with gsync option disappears after an update
436.30
It just downloaded it when I was trying to look around for more options
it was in 436.15
think I should roll-back?
the good news is I did turn it on before I installed 436.30 -- Im just not sure if its still on and working
maiden wedge
Interesting. No idea, I run 440.23, and 430.86 on my windows volumes
obsidian jetty
how weird and inconvinient
Im going to assume its on
see if a reboot after class does it
take care
i already did my homework last weekend!
Im back!
I need to get this gsync working, tthe reboot did NOT make it show up, should I roll back my geforce driver?
apparently I cant roll it back?
maiden wedge
What does the on screen display say?
obsidian jetty
what do you mean?
obsidian jetty
nothing except a steady white light
maiden wedge
Press a bunchof the buttons
obsidian jetty
near the power button
just gives me settings
turned it off and on 'says asus display port'
I see an option for adaptive/freesync
Is that the same as gsync?
maiden wedge
yes
obsidian jetty
Ok, so turn that on?
maiden wedge
You have a g-sync compatible monitor, not hardware g-sync. Nearly the same effect, but you save $100
maiden wedge
Now follow these instructions https://www.blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/14/

thanks a ton brother

I always have v-sync on with my gsync monitor. Never have input lag
gilded ivy

maiden wedge
But v-sync on where
In game or in nvcp
How can you be measure your input lag with precision?
tame grove
Because I used to play with Vsync off. Most games barely hit 144 fps at ultra 2k. so it doesnt tear or anything reguardless
the only games that it would matter that I play would be like CS:Go, and even then I couldnt tell any input difference

Can anyone help needing to replace screen on ideapad 145s.. dont know whats compatible
near bough
Could use help if someone knows MSI's MAG271CQR monitor....Is it 220V compatible so I wont fry it up? MSI's support isnt answering for over 3 days..
wild grove
the MSI website says that it's "100~240V, 50~60Hz "
however if you want to be completely sure, there should be a voltage sticker either on the monitor itself, or on the power brick that was included with it
as long as that voltage reads 100~240V, 50~60Hz, and not something like 105-125V 60 Hz, you should be fine with 220V power
obsidian jetty
Now that I have a 144hz monitor instead of 60hz, should I be shooting for above60 FPS? Does hz = FPS? Please help
surreal veldt
hz isnt fps
it also does motion blur and screen tearing
only time ur fps is locked to ur framerate is when u use vsync
i dont use it as i have a 60hz so if i turn on vsync my frames will go from over 120 to just 60
so like if you play a game on a 60hz and shake the mouse fast ull get blur but with a 144 its not there

Gotta be really commited to 1080p to spend that much imo, hard sell without getting 240hz, but that's a big price jump

That's certainly not my intention, if in fact he does want a high end 1080p, I have no doubt your suggestion is a great option, I often endorse your advice IIRC. My point was - hey, have you also considered getting a larger, higher res panel for the same, or not much more? if not - give it a 5 minute read, can't hurt

Oh, well I’m just saying I’m trying to buy a monitor, keyboard and mouse for 400$

TN vs IPS isn't really objectively better one way or the other - IPS usually costs more though. I'd explain the differences, but this does it better and saves me the typing https://www.techspot.com/article/1788-display-tech-compared/

IPS color is better :3
gilded ivy
no crap lmao

I know about the panels. TN is usually what pro gamers play on because of the low refresh rates but the angle views and colors aren’t as good as IPS
gilded ivy
i have a va panel
maiden wedge
@errant meadow Spot on. The rabbit hole goes deeper since modern IPS is often technically an "AHVA" panel as named by AU Optronics, but that's not relevant here haha.

@surreal veldt those aren’t 4k tho. Those are ultra wide 1440p

i only picked those samsungs cause they have the highest nit count and hdr rating they will most likely look better

the confusing part is this it says it has a 4k 60fps port and 3 4k 30fps ports

maiden wedge
also the one linked above is the 400 nits, the x27 is 1000 nits and full "gsync ultimate"
i didn't send that message
but apparently i did
maiden wedge
that being said, if you're actually looking at these super high end monitors, let's see when they're releasing the ones that have more backlighting zones
cuz they were supposed to be updating and releasing the newer models that had like 50% smaller backlighting zones for less bleed on dark and highly contrasted content
maiden wedge
I like it cuz early adopter and all. But it's hard for me to really encourage it for anyone but the most enthusiastic enthusiasts cuz you're looking at 3k USD at least to do all that. Just for a GPU and monitor. Which is two reasonably beefy rigs
It's really nice playing stuff in 4k at 100+ fps. But it's pretty much only esports titles you're getting that kind of performance in
covert solstice
yeah
That’s why i picked 1440p 144hz, still expensive but not 1.8k expensive

surreal veldt
actually he said it wasnt a bad monitor. he compared it to a ips 10 bit aorus and its just a tad dimmer than that one. he said u just gotta adjust the screen to the way you like them
plus its got to be better than my 10 year old 60hz 5ms lcd 21''
maiden wedge
honestly, the dell 1440 144hz monitor is often on sale at or near that price
and that is likely a superior monitor
although i haven't compared them side to side myself
uh, apparently i am mistaken but i recall with great accuracy that i had a friend buy one for himself and it was $270 or so i think and I'd feel that $20 is very well spent
apparently i am very wrong lol https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/b5kpj5/monitor_27_dell_s2719dgf_2560x1440_155hz_freesync/
cuz it was $350 with a $50 gift card
maiden wedge
oh but that one is curved vs the non curved dell one
and a VA panel compared to TN
neeeeeevermind to everything i said, they're in different brackets even though similar price

I think saying that aoc monitor is "just a tad dimmer" is a severe understatement. In the video the lack of brightness was very noticeable.
lavish kite
you guys think i should get a 32 inch monitor or a 27 for my upgrade
they have the same specs the 32 is like 60$ more
maiden wedge
should be fine with either
you of course get lower pixel density with the larger monitor
but for a 1440 monitor that's probably inconsequential
for a 1080 it may be a problem
lavish kite
its 1440, 144hz

right
i was just remarking as an aside that you would probably notice the lower pixel density more readily on a 1080 compared to the 1440 you were looking at

What's your budget? What resolution

there should be a format like

general comments -
maiden wedge
i know a ton of people here are more than willing to help but sometimes it's hard to know how to help with very little info to go on
just trying to be constructive
i am sure there are some people who have no idea what resolution they want or can adequately support but that can usually be deduced from other stuff
maiden wedge
at a minimum, i think budget, GPU/CPU being used, and what games are played is needed to give really solid advice for a panel
and at a minimum, even if people are very unfamiliar with all the crazy monitor tech, we can lead them to what they need
cuz to be fair, there's an overwhelming amount of monitor choices out there, moreso than other components
i.e. if someone is looking to play bfv with RTX on and everything but only has a 2060 it is silly to suggest a 1440 144hz (yeah, i realize how unrealistic a scenario that is but just for the point i'm trying to make)
covert solstice
looks at my 1070 ti and 1440p 144hz monitor yeah
maiden wedge
oh you can definitely do lots with that, i was just saying i think someone would be giving...unsound advice if they suggested a 1440 144hz for someone coming in with that extremely specific and unlikely use case
covert solstice
i got it mainly for futureproofing
like i dont want to buy 2 more monitors in 3 years, i just want a solid monitor that will last a long time and still look/run nice
maiden wedge
yeah
i was really hesitant to get my acer x27 but then i realized i'll have this monitor for 6-7+ years so
i am still using an ancient asus 1080/60hz panel as my second monitor that i got way back in 2010
so even when 16k/500hz monitors are out i'll still find a use for it lol

Hello everyone.
Can someone tell me what the difference is between Gorilla Glass and "NTSC:72%, wide 100% sRGB color gamut" displays?
Is one better than the other (for a laptop touch screen)?
tame grove
Gorilla glass is scratch and scuff proof. its mainly used in phones and touch devices
the other I am unfamiliar with
merry gyro
if the only difference between two (identical) laptops was the display, where one had gorilla glass and the other didn't, which one would you pick?
[it is a 2-in-1 laptop]
tame grove
if its touch probably the tougher gorilla glass
merry gyro
what if it's a $300 difference between one device and the other?
tame grove
the other one is just a standard display
thats why the price is so different. if your worried about protecting the screen than get the gorilla glass one. if your not than get the cheaper standard LED display

I see. Thanks!

@radiant wraith I have the msi optix mag and i find it works very nice and i have not had any issuses with it. The only trouble i have had with it was the stand becasue it is not the best design. You can't over clock it or anything but it does 144 hz out of the box and has freesync. It has hdmi dvi and display port. personaly i would go with something bigger than the 24 but it is sufficent for me.
it also has no speakers if that is something you care about.

That said, I'd much sooner buy a few more GPU's and an epyc, but to each their own 🙂

Was thinking this one but was told it’s too much for a 24 inch

Competitive FPS right? Overwatch?
Check out the XB272, I know a couple who streams together on 9700k's 2080's, apex
errant meadow
Is that under 300$?
maiden wedge
What's the current price on google shopping?
I ask not with the intention to be rude - but to show others how I go about parts research.
errant meadow
469$ on Amazon..

I made this long gif to show a bunch of stuff, then upload crashed haha

@radiant wraith what res/refresh rate do you want and what kind of panel (tn, va, ips)?
radiant wraith
@covert solstice i dont know much about panels but ive heard that tn is great. G sync compatible. 144 hz or better
24 in is my preference of size but i dont mind a bigger monitor
wild grove
Are you planning on staying with 1080p or going higher?
24" is the max I would recommend for 1080p
radiant wraith
@wild grove the only thing stopping me from going to 1440 is that they get really expensive especially if i want g sync
olive token
gsync anything is expensive
but the "g-sync capable" is a nice feature, and cheaper.
well the monitors that are verified to do such anyways.
maiden wedge
From all that I've seen, including that giant community "did g-sync work on my free sync display - here are my specs " spreadsheet
Almost al panels with displayport can. Probably because it was added to the displayport spec years ago.
Few exceptions are monitors that wouldn't be in the question anyway unless justified because cheap
e.g. that 25" hp omen that can't do 144hz it's advertised at and has to run 120, some samsung CG70, idk
wild grove
I think nowadays gsync monitors aren't worth it with how much cheaper the compatible freesync monitors are
radiant wraith
Yea im looking for a g sync compatible
Like i saw an alienware monitor
The g sync version is 100 dollars extra
The same exact model
So now im just looking for a 144 g sync compatible
vague zinc
I did some research and apparently the monitor I have rn is g sync compatible
it's the dell s2419hgf it's 144hz if you turn it on 1ms response time and 1080p
Its should be around $140
So far no complaints from me
@radiant wraith
maiden wedge
TL:DR - pretty much anything that's a good recommendation will have the variable refresh rate capability.
I'd liken it to asking the dealership staff if the car you're interested in comes with a radio, well, ya
If your budget was to get a 19" 60Hz TN 1280 x 1024 LCD ccfl backlight dell thiccboi off a craigslist "curb alert" , no, probably can't expect VRR
Look into scanline sync in that case 🙂

I am receiving “input signal not found” when using either DisplayPort or hdmi port. I just got a new gpu and new display port cables. I’ve tried the method of unplugging the monitor and DP and waiting 1 min. I’ve connected the monitor to my MacBook Air and it works fine. But when plugged into my PC it receives no signal.
maiden wedge
do you have the cables plugged into the video card as opposed to any disaply ports/hdmi out on the motherboard?
also are you positive that you have the GPU correctly installed? proper cables running from the power supply to the GPU?
naive swan
I have the DisplayPort cables plugged into the gpu, the gpu is correctly installed as well
maiden wedge
that happens more than you'd think so sorry if that sounded patronizing
naive swan
I thought it was a problem with the gpu so I got a new 2070 super, had a 1070ti previously
But still having the same “no signal” on both of my monitors
maiden wedge
have you tried putting the video card in a different pcie slot?
naive swan
One monitor is connected via a HDMI and receiving “no signal” and the other is connected via DisplayPort and same “no signal”
maiden wedge
your old card was working fine and then just stopped from what i'm gathering?
naive swan
Yeah old card was working then just stopped
naive swan
I haven’t tried putting it into a different pcie slot, I can do that
maiden wedge
if it works, then the first port is bad i'd wager
naive swan
If not what else should I look for or do ?
maiden wedge
if you try other ports and it's still borked, it's probably an issue with the motherboard
coarse trail
is 4ms vs 1ms response time very important in moniters?
frigid bane
firstly, the 1ms thing and 4ms thing are both BS
it isn't too important if you're a casual gamer
coarse trail
alright and would this be the best 2k ips g sync 144hz 27 inch moniter?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0772CP7GC?ref=emc_p_m_5_i this one the other was tn version
coarse trail
@odd echo is that the tn version
frigid bane
I wouldn't recommend a TN myself
but if you only care about gaming then sure go ahead
LG 27GL850
that's nearly the ultimate monitor
it's not widely available yet
gilded ivy
if you dont care so much about colors unless you use special programs and you need to see colors then they arent that important
maiden wedge
The 27GL850 would be what I'd buy today instead of the PG279QZ I have. Benefits of the hardware g-sync module are diminished and hard to notice for the vast majority of users.
covert solstice
also @odd echo that is way overpriced
maiden wedge
Seems like it has hardware g-sync, also curved tax? If the buyer wants to pay the premium for 3 year old tech (basically my monitor) - the best we can do is to give them the most accurate /relevant info from which to do so.
maiden wedge
so i'm one of just a small handful of people who would need this functionality but how hard would it be to write a script to change display settings with one button? according to nvidia, they have included the capability of changing these settings through their API, but i'm not sure where to start
what i want to do is have a couple buttons keybound to swap between 144hz/8 bit color to 120hz/8 bit and then 98hz/10 bit

new or used?
summer zephyr
Anyone know a good 27 inch curved monitor with gsync? Price doesn’t matter
