not sure it curved, but its one of the best panels out there

solemn yarrow
#

@olive token what do you think?

#

AORUS AD27QD Gaming Monitor

#

Or this

surreal veldt
#

im using a aoc gaming monitor it was just $244 144hz 27'' 1ms has freesync and my gsync works with it.

#

has to do some tweaks to get it to my liking but not bad for the price

spare egret
#

@summer zephyr I have the AD27QD and I can testify that it's amazing. Beautiful colors and excellent response and refresh rate.

#

It's not curved (I prefer flat) but it's still awesome.

summer zephyr
#

Ok

#

I have about 7-900 to spend on a monitor or monitors

#

27" CRG5 240HZ CURVED GAMING MONITOR

#

This was also a contender if you know if it’s any good

solemn yarrow
#

You mean 700 to 900?

covert solstice
solemn yarrow
#

That is not bad 120hz as well

covert solstice
#

honestly even 700 is a lot for a monitor, only thing more expensive is nearly only 4k 144hz ips monitors

solemn yarrow
#

I am still going to aim for a 75hz freesync monitor

#

it would be within my budget

summer zephyr
#

My old monitor was 650 I believe. The Lenovo y27g razor edition. I’m not rly looking for more than 27 inches. I loved that monitor but ultrawides are too big for my liking

summer zephyr
#

You guys think I should go with this?

#

GIGABYTE AORUS CV27Q-SA 27" Quad HD 2560x1440 165Hz 1ms 2xHDMI DisplayPort AMD Radeon FreeSync and G-SYNC Compatible HDR Flicker-Free USB 3.0 Hub Widescreen LED Backlight Curved Gaming Monitor

#

Or this

#

I narrowed it down to those two

covert solstice
#

id rather go with the 27GL850-B since its IPS and nearly all the same specs for like $130 cheaper

summer zephyr
#

Its not curved though which is what im looking for and I have a big budget

summer zephyr
#

Too wide for me. I like the AORUS CV27Q bc it has everything I need and the size I like

#

Gives me money to spend on speakers and rocket league

Hello, I am new to this group. Referred by NewEgg employee. I am interested in guidance in expanding my stock trading abilities. I currently have a 27” IMAC (circa 2012 year model) I would like to somehow add up to 3 additional monitors with a potential mounting stand for additional monitors. The current IMac would pose a problem in the visual configuration of other monitors. I have plus or minus $1,000 to contribute to this monitor setup idea. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

smoky thicket
#

which imac

#

like model #

errant meadow
#

So...what cable do I need to use to get my 144hz? I’m using the display port and getting 60hz.

gilded ivy
#

you gotta set it in your display settings

#

make sure you plug your displayport into the displayport sl0t of your gpu

errant meadow

I did

#

Question, does anyone know why when your desktop feels laggy after you turn on laptop with external monitor first then switch to laptop monitor then back to monitor and then it lags?

#

(lmk if my question is not comphrensible, I can re write again.)

slate hamlet
#

Are you switching which display is actually, displaying or are you using it like 2 monitors simultaneously

rain latch
#

Not 2 monitors simultaneously, switching displays

#

Um is my question not making sense?

slate hamlet
#

Kinda

#

if you're switching back and forth between displays then it's gonna take a second to catch up

rain latch
#

My laptop starts up with HDMI cable hooked to external monitor display, and when it's on the external display i switch to laptop display and then switch back to external monitor again then it feels laggy on external monitor. It's solved by restarting.

#

Does that make sense now?

Hey guys. Any recommendations for a monitor that has really good picture quality?

Looking for under $600. 1440p or 4k. Doesn't matter. 144hz not neccessary, but welcome. Also needs to be durable. It's for my truck on the road. So pretty rough goings for it.

spare egret
#

@junior matrix i really like the AD27QD, 1440p 144Hz, 10 bit IPS and HDR and anti glare screen so it's really nice imo

olive token
#

honestly can't suggest any monitor that is going to be bouncing around in a truck.

junior matrix
#

It hasn't hurt my current monitor any

#

I'm not going to leave it on while driving

olive token
#

big rig?

junior matrix
#

@spare egret I actually had that one in my cart already lol. I just got told that the pixio prime 7 is basically the same but cheaper

#

Yes. Big rig

olive token
#

ah ok

spare egret
#

@junior matrix i'm using the AD27QD rn but i have no idea about the pixio one

junior matrix
#

How about the pg279qz

maiden wedge
#

It's good, but an older panel, same 144, 1440p , hardware gsync AUO component in the Acer xb271hu . Maybe if one goes on sale for 400 new or something

covert solstice
#

@spare egret the px7 primes uses the same panel, and it’s gone down to like 380 on sale

#

I have it, solid monitor

feral nimbus
#

does anyone have a better idea for budget 4k monitor than MG28UQ?

rustic surge
#

I recently got a new gpu that only has 1 hdmi port and i need that for my ce headset, so i bought 2 dp to hdmi adapters because my monitors don't have dp ports. when i plugged my monitors in, they starting flashing, or turning on and off maybe. then i tried only one adapter with the other monitor in the hdmi port and the monitor with the adapter was having color variations and was fluzzy. the adapter is Nurbenn DisplayPort (DP) to HDMI Adapter, 4K HDMI Converter - Black

olive token
#

sounds like a bad adapter

maiden wedge
#

Sounds like a passive adapter that might also suffer from bad qc, $6 on newegg can be hit or miss on dongles.
This may help https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/729232-guide-to-display-cables-adapters-v2/

rustic surge
#

it claims to be active

maiden wedge
#

Guessing your monitors aren't dual mode and are sending the wrong signal. Thoe are passive adapters.

#

Actives are for a differnet use case - usually to go between either dp/hdmi etc while still retaining the max res + refresh + bit depth as the source signal.

rustic surge
#

can you recommend one for me?

#

i don't want to waste more money on another that won't work

maiden wedge
#

Got a link to your full build parts list? If not, running a userbenchmark.com and linking it here is the easy option for 90% of the relevant info.

rustic surge
#

i'm not home right now, i'll send you both when i do get home

@maiden wedge ^

thorny pulsar
#

is LED better than LCD or is it the other way around

slate hamlet
#

I believe LCDs are usually better when it comes to color accuracy

fallen estuary
#

Just built a pc getting no signal rip

slate hamlet
#

If everything else is working but it just isn't showing up

#

try using a different pci-E slot

fallen estuary
#

Havent quite obtained a graphics card yet using inegrated graphics in the mean time...i might try vga to see if its an issue with hdmi port

glacial field
#

What motherboard and CPU are you using?

fallen estuary
#

Thank you 😂 cpu is ryzen 7 1800x no integrated grapihcs

slate hamlet
#

Well that would explain it then

solemn yarrow
#

Sounds like you need a 2400G 😛

severe depot
#

Im looking to buy a second monitor but dont know what to get. Do you guys have any suggestions

slate hamlet
#

What is the purpose of the second monitor, like just discord or?

maiden wedge
#

Does anyone know if this monitor is good It’s a 165hz monitor

severe depot
#

@slate hamlet i want to try streaming and my current monitor is a real bottleneck to my current build so really im just looking for a new monitor

slate hamlet
#

If it's for the chat then basically anything will do

vague zinc
#

oh is your current monitor not able to match what your system puts out

severe depot
#

Yeah

#

I got a 2080ti but that used up much of my budget so I got a 144hz 1080p monitor. Its not bad but I know my gpu is capable of much more

vague zinc
#

this is 1440p 144hz

#

idk if you want curved or not

severe depot
#

what are the benefits of curved over normal

#

That is also the monitor i was looking at

odd echo
#

its just preference

vague zinc
#

what he said

severe depot
#

Is there a price difference between curved and normal

vague zinc
#

Uh

#

sometimes?

maiden wedge
vague zinc
#

I thought I had a dead pixel for a second

#

ya

maiden wedge
maiden wedge
#

Ive noticed msi curved r cheaper than regular

topaz lark
#

guys i have a compatability question about a specific setup and a specific monitor. Wanting to know if they will work together optimally

solemn yarrow
#

I don't see how it would not work together

topaz lark
#

3440 x 1440 requires some beef and idk if its enough

#

lookin for the answer

solemn yarrow
#

The system can handle 1440p without a problem

topaz lark
#

sweet ty

wild grove
#

That monitor is significantly above 1440p though

maiden wedge
#

that is closer to 4k in terms of raw pixels than 1440, i think

wild grove
#

That system will still be able to handle it, but in AAA titles it won't be running at 120 fps on highest settings

maiden wedge
#

no, it's definitely closer to 1440 in terms of raw pixels, but it's still a lot more than a non-ultrawide 1440

wild grove
#

Should still get at least 60 fps though I think

maiden wedge
#

$8400 USD in 2003 money LOL

maiden wedge
#

$11,463.57 USD for that adjusted for inflation

#

What cheapskates, not even a flatscreen

#

and the bezels, good lord

#

shameful display of...uh, displays

#

i'm actually kind of salivating of a CRT with that resolution at 240hz or something crazy lol

shrewd epoch
#

Hello I had a question about hooking my laptop up to a high refresh rate monitor

maiden wedge
#

Dont see a question

#

All u need is an hdmi cord

tardy vine
#

or possibly a dock if you dont have built in output

maiden wedge
#

If your using apple

#

Pretty sure most modern laptops come with hdmi ports

#

Windows that is

solemn yarrow
#

Well all would include Micro/Mini/HDMI

maiden wedge
#

Idk bout all that

tardy vine
#

i was more saying that i dont know his laptop so it is a possibility

maiden wedge
#

Every computer does have a usb port tho

solemn yarrow
#

If it is an older laptop it would have VGA

maiden wedge
#

If your pc doesnt have an hdmi then you can get a usb to hdmi Connector

#

Ya. Vga. But if u have a newer monitor you’ll need a vga to dvi

solemn yarrow
#

There are still some newer monitors that still has VGA on it

#

some of these companies knows that people still like using older systems on their monitors

maiden wedge
#

Idk. I dont mess with that old tech

solemn yarrow
#

Besides you don't know how many USB ports is on his laptop and if they are in use already

#

For all we know he could have 2 USB ports

maiden wedge
#

Im jus givin out ideas

#

No need to get all defensive

solemn yarrow
#

lol

shrewd epoch
#

My laptop does not have a display port

#

and it is a 144hz monitor

#

I do not know if the monitor supports 144hz hdmi

solemn yarrow
#

It will

shrewd epoch
#

There are a lot of monitors that don’t support 144 hz

#

through hdmi

mystic agate
#

O_O whoa

olive token
#

makes you go woot!

#

Condition Refurbished

slate hamlet
#

Well I mean just how risky is it

lavish kite
#

Should I get the Samsung C27JG56 or the MSI Optix MAG271CQR

#

In big need of a monitor upgrade, the only difference spec wise is 1ms response time bs 4ms and I’ve never had a high end monitor so idk is the 3ms is work the extra 70$

vague zinc
#

Well if you're gaming fastest response time is best

olive token
#

not really

#

and no, 70 dollars isn't worth the extra 3ms

onyx scroll
#

anyone know if the asus VG248QE supports 144hz dp??

smoky thicket
#

it does have a displayport connection @onyx scroll

onyx scroll
#

will it display 144 hz?

smoky thicket
#

yeah, displayport is usually used to do 144hz default @onyx scroll

onyx scroll
#

is the monitor i listed supports 144hz on dp?

smoky thicket
#

yes

#

but i wouldnt buy it unless its on super sale

#

its one of the first 144hz 1ms monitors, there are much newer 144hz 1ms monitors out now with improvements

onyx scroll
#

the monitor of cable?

#

nvm i feel dumb

runic girder
#

Can someone give me a 144hz monitor sub 200 with thinish bezels

#

Anybody know any good 4k monitors?

umbral pasture
#

So I’ve got a slight problem

#

My MSI Optix G24C Fell over when I tilted it slightly downward and it shattered after impacting my keyboard and mouse. What should I do

vague zinc
#

that isn't a slight problem

#

I don't know if warranty covers user error

#

maybe

#

contact msi

#

least you can do is try

umbral pasture
#

I’ve tried to contact msi but there chat is closed and I would have to call them and I have a feeling I would be on hold for a long time. Just due to the time it is

vague zinc
#

can't help you dude

#

best of luck trying to get a replacement though

umbral pasture
#

Yea thanks

vague zinc
#

jesus christ

umbral pasture
#

Yea

#

It hit my mouse and that happened

solemn yarrow
#

@clear island it is real but id personally go for the Insignia one's

#

I have seen Hisense before and the picture/color quality isn't that bad but the Insignia models i find they look sharper

clear island
#

I mean I could care less lol

#

It is 120hz

#

and I should be able to compensate for that software wise

#

I was asking if the 120 was real

#

That is the part I care about

solemn yarrow
#

Well got to remember that usually the 120hz is more for gaming console and other things while using it as a PC monitor would most likely be in the 60hz

clear island
#

??

#

explain

#

why?

#

are you saying it's just frame interpolating?

#

but if it can do that

solemn yarrow
#

It is just the way TV's are and also the ms you would usually get is like 8 to 15ms

clear island
#

hmmm

#

i mean

#

my reaction time is like in the 200ms range

#

so...

languid walrus
#

This is the monitor I have and I love it

clear island
#

That looks really nice

solemn yarrow
#

For using a 2080 1440p would be the best thing to go for

languid walrus
#

It’s a great monitor. I was concerned about 32” but it’s not too bad honestly

#

The 2080 Super is fantastic for it. 1440p but not usually the 144fps it could show.

solemn yarrow
#

27" would be my limit for a monitor

languid walrus
#

That’s fair

solemn yarrow
#

I used a 32" TV once for my monitor and cause of the distance i sit and the games i play there was too much neck movements which was a pain

#

i like to see everything without moving my head

clear island
#

lol yeah I don't move my neck either

#

smooth eye movements

#

no microsaccades

#

I have a fair bit of visual dield I am not using though

#

field

#

visual field

#

I always put my Fov above 100 too

umbral pasture
#

So since I broke my msi monitor. I was thinking if it’s not covered under warranty or I can’t repair it with msi I would upgrade to 1440P 144hz. Does anyone know any good monitors other than the previously linked Acer monitor.

cedar nest
#

I connected my monitor to a laptop when I full screen a game it automatically locks on to 30 FPS any fixes?

vague zinc
#

is ur v sync on

cedar nest
#

nope

vague zinc
#

and there's sometimes in games settings that let you limit fps

cedar nest
#

well Im on Fortnite

vague zinc
#

what connection are you using

#

displayport?

#

or hdmi or smth

cedar nest
#

hdmi

vague zinc
#

hm

#

maybe try messing with your display's settings

#

in windows

cedar nest
#

Already tried

vague zinc
#

hmm

#

that's weird

#

idk much about connecting a monitor to a laptop

#

Don't know what else to try

slate hamlet
#

If it has Nvidia control panel try selecting the external monitor as a PhysX device

maiden wedge
#

Go to global settings, restore, then make sure v-sync isn't on adaptive. - unrelated to "adaptive sync" as a monitor mode

Hey all, just bought an Acer VG270U P, and it intermittently flickers completely black. Drivers are up to date. Been browsing online and it does not seem to be a completely isolated incident, but wondered if anyone could offer any insight. Been tinkering with my GPU settings, and it seems to help a little bit. GPU is a Radeon RX 580 series.

solemn yarrow
#

Did you check if your connection between the monitor and you system is solid?

coarse oak
#

Yes completely solid

#

Power is not an issue either, as when the screen goes black, power light is still on

solemn yarrow
#

You're using a desktop right

coarse oak
#

yup

solemn yarrow
#

check to see if your GPU is really aligned cause sometimes if it is not the connection could be half way in without you knowing

coarse oak
#

So I have a dual monitor set up, and neither of my monitors had any issue till now.

#

It has been 5-6 months

#

Replaced the older one with the Acer

solemn yarrow
#

Did you turn on any modes you weren't aware of and also did you turn on FreeSync

coarse oak
#

Yeah Freesync is on

#

pretty sure it defaulted to on

solemn yarrow
#

You actually have to turn it on from the monitor settings

#

some monitors can have like 2 to 3 different FreeSync options

#

Like mine for FreeSync has standard and ultimate

#

@coarse oak what is your GPU as well

coarse oak
#

Ahh fair enough.

#

It is an Radeon RX 580 XFX

solemn yarrow
#

Ok and also in Adrenalin did you turn on FreeSync from there (cause default it is off on that)

coarse oak
#

Yeah in Adrenalin I tried turning that off

solemn yarrow
#

For FreeSync to work you need it on from there and in your monitor settings

#

also after you enable those it is usually best to restart your system

coarse oak
#

What exactly does FreeSync do and why do you think it is necessary to have on?

#

Just trying to understand

solemn yarrow
#

FreeSync reduces motion blur and screen tearing

coarse oak
#

Ahh okay. So do you think that having freesync off is part of the reason it flickers

solemn yarrow
#

Could be which it is good to turn that on and also for your monitor settings to see if there is anything that might look unusual

#

Oh and one other thing

#

just to also see if you are on the proper refresh rate

coarse oak
#

So the refresh rate is 144hz, which is what I thought it should be. Should I try decreasing that?

solemn yarrow
#

144hz is fine

#

was just letting you check cause sometimes Windows likes to have it on 59 point something hz

coarse oak
#

hah yeah that is what my other monitor is set to

#

the one that works

#

So where would I turn freesync on other than adrenalin?

solemn yarrow
#

Well i am using Nvidia now but i would believe on the bottom where it might say settings

coarse oak
#

My bad, miscommunication from my part. In the display settings you were saying that there was a free sync option there as well?

#

the monitor settings rather

solemn yarrow
#

Display settings would be for your refresh rate and Adrenaline would be for freesync

coarse oak
#

Right, but you said there would be multiple places to turn free sync on?

solemn yarrow
#

You do that in Adrenaline and on your monitor settings

#

@coarse oak I have to go for awhile but if you have anything else to ask just ping intender

coarse oak
#

Alright thanks

#

Appreciate your input

surreal veldt
#

is your gsync on?

#

if u have a freesync monitor it should work

#

@coarse oak it would be through your geforce control panel

coarse oak
#

Yeah so Freesync is on in my AMD control panel

surreal veldt
#

u have amd video card?

coarse oak
#

yup

surreal veldt
#

o ok yea just make sure its on on the control panel as well as set to 144 on the monitor

#

when u game set your ingame options to 144

#

and you should be set

coarse oak
#

Yeah that is what I thought as well. I think My GPU is struggling with this monitor

#

I opened a game from 5 years ago, wouldn't even start

#

Messed with some options, found some stuff on forums. Adjusted the power allocated to the GPU and the game would start, but it would get choppy.

#

Meanwhile, the game works perfectly fine on my old monitor

#

Kind of bizarre

surreal veldt
#

what gpu and monitor?

#

580 shouldnt have any issues

coarse oak
#

The monitor is an Acer VG270UP

#

If it isn't the GPU, I have no idea what could be causing such a performance discrepancy

maiden wedge
#

Variable refresh rate techs like freesync can be buggy with multi-monitor configs in windows. Best to keep any hardware accelerated programs on the main display, use a VESA certified DP cable, disable fullscreen optimizations on the game's executable, then follow the blurbusters guide bible on variable refresh rate (VRR) optimal settings.
https://www.blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/14/

smoky thicket
#

i turn freesync off because everytime i minimize a fullscreen app it flickers black before recovering

coarse oak
#

kk I will gave that a shot

check the reviews

shut maple
#

Hey, new to having a pc, and im looking for a monitor. any recommendations? What brands are good?

odd echo
#

this is a fantastic deal

#

$300 monitor for $100

#

i have one, i love it

#

its great for gaming

#

if youre using it for watching movies or looking at photos, id look for an IPS panel. But if youre gaming, that one is FANTASTIC.

mystic garnet
#

is it good for gaming?

umbral pasture
#

@vague zinc it has some great reviews. One of the things I’m looking for is stand stability. Because I had some bad luck with my msi monitors stand

mystic garnet
#

its g sync compadible

odd echo
#

@umbral pasture i have the dell one i just linked

#

the stand is great

#

really sturdy

umbral pasture
#

Ok

odd echo
#

i have a super wobbly desk and the monitor doesnt wobble at all

umbral pasture
#

My msi one has a horrid stand

#

That’s lovely

odd echo
#

yeah... my hp stand sucks lol

#

wobbles so much

umbral pasture
#

My hp stand is great

odd echo
#

also this dell one rotates

umbral pasture
#

Yes that seems like a nice thing to have

odd echo
#

yeah

umbral pasture
#

This is what happened to my msi monitor. That’s why I’m looking for a new one

#

The monitor would tip over when tilted downward at all. And it got tilted downward a small amount and fell straight onto my mouse and shattered

mystic garnet
#

oof

umbral pasture
#

Yes

#

I’ll show the stand design

odd echo
#

well thats just stupid lol

mystic garnet
#

wtf really?

#

i wouldnt trust my moniter on that thing

umbral pasture
#

I don’t anymore

odd echo
#

this dell stand is a lot better

#

looks good too cool_and_good

umbral pasture
#

I can tell

odd echo
#

no wobble

umbral pasture
#

That’s nice

clear island
umbral pasture
#

I think the monitor I linked is the exact same stand just a different panel

clear island
#

I tried the 4k TV at my fam's vacy rental

#

120hz for 1080

#

120 for 2k

#

only 60 for 4K

#

I wanna 4k 120

umbral pasture
#

Lg

clear island
#

link?

umbral pasture
#

They make 120hz 4K compatibly g sync TVs

clear island
#

I'm assuming you mean a diff one?

#

that link is a lg

umbral pasture
#

Yea

#

I don’t know which one. Linus and bitwit put out videos on it

#

It’s an oled but it’s like 2-4 k

clear island
#

hmmm. Intersting

clear island
umbral pasture
#

That’s nice

#

Looks sturdy

clear island
#

probably just gonna get a 2k next tho

#

are ther any with higher than 144 w/o oc

umbral pasture
#

Yea I think

#

I know 240 monitors are a thing but only at 1080 I know of

clear island
#

I have a 1080 240 rn

#

it's ok

#

but I can see the pixels

umbral pasture
#

And 1440

clear island
#

because i'M SO CLOSE

umbral pasture
#

How close do you sit

clear island
#

LOL i STAND

#

also

#

caps lock is the devi;

umbral pasture
#

I’m on my phone so I don’t have to worry about that

clear island
#

lol if I moved back like 10 more cm I wouldn't see them

#

but then my arms wouldn't be comfy

#

1440 would prob fix it

#

or just a smaller display at 1080

umbral pasture
#

You can get 1440 240hz but not any higher right now. At least that’s what the internet is providing

clear island
#

this might be the best option tbh. Realistically, at nice rez my games are not gonna render at 240

#

also it's not too much bigger than my current monitor

#

oh then I saw the price

#

😢

umbral pasture
#

I don’t even think a 2080ti would run that without crying

clear island
#

lol yeah there is no way

umbral pasture
#

Acer makes one

#

It’s 43 inches though

clear island
#

That would require getting used to

#

wait acer has a 27" too

#

wait that's refurbished

umbral pasture
#

I don’t know how much I would trust that stand

clear island
#

you don't need to use the stamd that copmes with it :p

#

lol typolationulartion

Yea but still it’s more convenient and you may want to use it. I’m just saying it looks like it would be very wobbly

Oh

I’m used to correcting texting mistakes in my head so I didn’t catch it

Well i wish you like in finding a monitor.

Thank you

I'll probably keep using this one for a while

I wish everyone has good monitor stability and does not shatter their display. Good night

this seems like a great option if you don't mind using an alternative stand

I wonder if I should go 2 monitor or 1 ultra wide with my GTX 1650 setup.

solemn yarrow
#

non super?

fair plover
#

Yea. Zotac’s low profile version

full moat
#

@fair plover What is your intended use case?

fair plover
#

Lately it’s been 50/50. Light gaming, SWTOR, Path of Exile, Star Trek Online, maybe the new Phoenix Point, and the other half YouTube and multi tasking stuff

full moat
#

planning on hooking up a console to your monitor(s)?

fair plover
#

The occasional Xbox stream of a game to the monitor while the wife watches Dr. Pol. Lol

full moat
#

that is a yes :)

#

for the xbox, the ultrawide would be a bit wonky potentially

fair plover
#

So no hooking up. The streaming to the monitor has been flawless

full moat
#

depends on how much you weight that part of it.

fair plover
#

I’m also thinking of a single 27 inch 144, I know I won’t get to 144.

full moat
#

what resolution on the 27?

fair plover
#

1080p most likely. I have not done 1440 gaming before.

full moat
#

Personally i find 1080p@27inch to be a tad big pixelwise. However, my usecase is a 10/90 split between gaming/work

fair plover
#

Understood. So 24 inch 1080p to play to safe.

#

Play “it” safe

full moat
#

ideally, try and see if you can get your eyeballs on a 1080p@27, so you can see if that is the case for you too

#

as in, see if you can visit a store with displays in demo mode

#

a picture/talk about it, only really tells you "so" much

fair plover
#

Very true. Hey thanks!

full moat
#

there are plenty of clients that have machines with 1080p@27 and they are very happy with it.

#

and there are also plenty that curse loudly when they try that :)

#

it is very much personal preference.

#

and considering the normal lifetime of a display, it is imo worth spending the time to try and get it right the first time around :)

#

and you are very welcome :)

if going 1080p i'd go 24in

What gpu

mossy kindle
#

ok guys great question to u LG 27" 27GL850-B vs ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27 psi .

#

im just regular gamer

solemn yarrow
#

LG

mossy kindle
#

but wanna own best

#

but why

solemn yarrow
#

For me i always find that LG is always better

maiden wedge
#

Just because a monitor says "gaming" in it doesn't mean it's good

"Gaming" TVs are trash imo lol (ik kinda unrelated but its an example)
and yes LG is muy bueno 👍

mossy kindle
#

u know that it has spec

solemn yarrow
#

yep i know that the monitors have specs

maiden wedge
mossy kindle
#

why dont liked it asus one

maiden wedge
#

Then why did you ask

solemn yarrow
#

Asus makes good products but their customer support is pretty crappy

mossy kindle
#

i need to details for decision

solemn yarrow
#

When i shop for things i always look at video and Newegg reviews what it has the panel and such and lastly the cost

mossy kindle
#

i was expect kinda "lg has great color acc"

#

i did everything what regular customer does

maiden wedge
#

Ohhh, well their websites kinda review that stuff although bias. I'd look into Youtube reviews (non sponsored)

mossy kindle
#

checked already

solemn yarrow
#

Newegg reviews would help out

#

for me i don't trust amazon reviews

mossy kindle
#

linus said best gamer monitor 2019

#

1 month later asus model appeard

#

u know pepega moment

solemn yarrow
#

For a monitor really there really isn't a best because i have seen Tech Tubers mention this and this is the best but it comes down to would it really be good for you will you have eye problems or not those thing

mossy kindle
#

really

smoky thicket
#

amazon fake review farms are a real thing.

mossy kindle
#

but why

#

elmb stuff someting like

solemn yarrow
#

I have people recommend me monitors in the past saying i should get this one cause it is 144hz and fits my budget but because the panel is a VA it would be bad for me cause VA panels really hurts my eyes

mossy kindle
#

they are ips

#

so

solemn yarrow
#

VA is between TN and IPS you know sort of like a mix of 2 and also i am showing examples to what i was trying to explain

mossy kindle
#

i see

wild coralBOT
#
Akhenaton#6935 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

mossy kindle
#

im currenty using tn panel

solemn yarrow
#

which is why there really isn't a best cause there can be somethings in one monitor that you wouldn't like

#

also no swearing

mossy kindle
#

yeah bro i know

#

u know i just need to support like "ok buy it this good" someting like that

solemn yarrow
#

the panel i am using now is a PLS panel

#

so you know PLS is pretty much Samsung's version of a IPS

mossy kindle
#

those monitors has gsync comp but i have actuall gsync modul

#

could be any problem for me ?_

#

i mean tearing issues

solemn yarrow
#

you shouldn't experience any tearing

mossy kindle
#

yeah i heard pls

#

good news

#

what ur panel excatly send me model num

solemn yarrow
#

you don't want my monitor it is only 60hz

mossy kindle
#

so final decision lg ha ?

solemn yarrow
#

I would really go for LG since it is usually the better company as well

mossy kindle
#

thx for helping out

solemn yarrow
#

Only other company i would go for but this is for me is ViewSonic

mossy kindle
#

yeah i also using tv lg one

Bro my monitor is 27 bucks

you must be happy with it

solemn yarrow

I use a 4:3 LCD monitor for my Raspberry Pi lol

maiden wedge
#

It's actually not too bad; since I got it used it has two or three dark spots but they're not terribly noticeable

solemn yarrow
#

arcade games looks better on it

maiden wedge
#

@solemn yarrow I've actually thought about using a Pi for Discord and emulators exclusively

#

Get a little 10" monitor for the guy

solemn yarrow
#

If you were to buy a Pi go for the 4gb Pi 4

mossy kindle
#

btw im not competitive player

solemn yarrow
#

1gb would be a little bit laggy and the 2gb is decent

mossy kindle
#

just i want to see good color as i can buy

maiden wedge
#

idk man that's a lot for a tiny cheap computer, I might just recycle my Optiplex 780 when my new parts come in

solemn yarrow
#

95% of games i own are single player games

maiden wedge
#

my new PC won't be using DDR3 anyways

solemn yarrow
#

and i have over 300 games on steam

maiden wedge
#

oh dang

#

wait so do you only play on the Pi?

solemn yarrow
#

For PC gaming i use my desktop

mossy kindle
#

but 144 hz really smooth compare to 60 hz

maiden wedge
#

Ohh

solemn yarrow
#

i use my Pi for arcade emulation

maiden wedge
#

Makes sense

solemn yarrow
#

and when i stream (when i have time) i use my laptop for the chat room

mossy kindle
#

u playing consol games ?

maiden wedge
#

my dad has like 4 different raspberry pi 2s around the house, including one he uses for movies and stuff on our TV

solemn yarrow
#

Only consoles i own and play on it my PS2, Nvidia Shield (and yes it is a android TV console) and my Nintendo Switch

mossy kindle

tech geek dad ha

#

@solemn yarrow bro how old are u btw

solemn yarrow
#

i am in my 30's

mossy kindle
#

cool

maiden wedge
#

yo I've actually thought about getting the Nvidia Shield

#

my issue is compatibility with most games, since it hasn't opened up a ton towards that.

#

Wait

#

they're moving it towards cloud gaming, I almost forgot

solemn yarrow
#

They have cloud gaming already on the Shield

#

been like a year now

#

the only problem is you need a very good conntecion

maiden wedge
#

O

#

I got accepted into testing for Project xCloud (Xbox cloud gaming), and ngl it isn't too bad on 2.4ghz connection

#

definitely see some tough spots with it also being a router for a family of 5, each owning about 3-4ish devices each

solemn yarrow
mossy kindle
#

cloud gaming really work good atm ?

#

this is really sick connection

solemn yarrow
#

It works pretty good but like i said you need a really good connection

mossy kindle
#

which one important arround here up or down

solemn yarrow
#

only problem is i need a Logitech C920 if i was to stream with a cam

mossy kindle
#

clean desk ROFLEgg

solemn yarrow
#

Geforce Now is the cloud gaming service they have on it and you can see there is streaming settings so you can stream on Twitch

#

that is my dresser cause that is where my consoles are

mossy kindle

#

I like your setup dude. It has "gamer" kind of vibes to it, while keeping it look like someone actually uses it (but not a bad messy)

ppl still using home phone ?

#

i mean old school

solemn yarrow

and yes i did my own headset stand thing

mossy kindle

that fan setup so good for gpu

liked it

#

what is this case brand

maiden wedge
#

Oooh nice case

solemn yarrow
#

Rosewill Prism S

#

comes with 4 fans and the one's you see there

maiden wedge
#

Oh dangit my guess was close

#

I was gonna guess the Rosewill Magnetar

#

after a quick google search, ive come to a conclusion that I'm just stupid

solemn yarrow
#

this is it in action

mossy kindle
#

which is good actually front panel 3 fan or just yours couldnt decide

solemn yarrow
#

Well that case is different it is 3 bottom 1 rear and if i want to i can put 2 more on the side

maiden wedge
#

a wee bit trippy tbh

#

Also - you didn't peel it??

mossy kindle
#

wdym side ? front ?

maiden wedge
#

I think he means more of the back

#

like the other panel

solemn yarrow
#

if you are talking about the warning sticker no i like having that on

#

good reminder for friends to know it is actually glass

#

can see i can add in 2 more

mossy kindle
#

first one is really good setup for air cooler solutions

#

which is mine too

#

500D RGB SE PREMIUM i want this case so hard

maiden wedge
#

YOOO have you guys seen that iBuyPower case that has the display built into the side panel?

mossy kindle
#

but urs so good too

solemn yarrow
#

Actually the second one is better

maiden wedge

It's the iBUYPOWER Snowblind

whats ur cpu btw

solemn yarrow
#

Ryzen 5 2600 and my GPU is a GTX 1660 from EVGA

maiden wedge
#

oh that's a good build

solemn yarrow
#

good for now but in like 3 years i would need to change the GPU

maiden wedge
#

yeah

#

better than console right there tbh

#

My friend's got a RX 590 and a Ryzen 5 2600 coming in

I'm irritated though because he REFUSES to do his research for building. I helped him pick out his parts and his monitors/cables. guess how he's building it

his dad's friend is gonna build it. Like bro can I at least help darn

solemn yarrow
#

Next year is the next gen consoles

maiden wedge
#

500 bucks for em

#

It's literally cheaper anymore to just build a PC

#

and upgrade it by a little when a new console comes out

mossy kindle
#

whats ur cpu temp while full stress

solemn yarrow
#

Let me see if my video shows it

#

video doesn't show but when monitoring using Cinebench i get 60c max

#

gaming i would assume around 55c

mossy kindle
#

really

#

use aida64 stress test u can see there

solemn yarrow
#

Both can stress a CPU and even CPU-Z can stress it

right now i have the RM750, just haven't installed

#

it only matters for the GPU

#

i just tried and aborted a Ryzen build, because there was a part that was not working and i couldn't tell what it was - I can't really invest more time or money into the build though maybe i'll have the motherboard replaced just to be sure, and grab a new CPU to replace the R3 2200G of questionable provenance i had in there, grab a hyper T2 because it's got the old AMD mount which I absolutely adore and I'm glad AMD left it on the AM4 standard

looking for a good 240hz monitor, budget is 400

maiden wedge
#

http://rtings.com, http://tftcentral.co.uk, and the blurbusters forums / /r/monitors are where I'd search around to see what models fit your budget/preference/availability.
The benq XL2540 and XL2546 although not the newest, are still very popular among CSGO pro's (and similar games)

#

@winged oriole the problem is that i live in israel and im looking for a monitor that cost about 1500 shekels which is about 400 dollars maybe more but shipping and import fees from amazon will be a lot more than 400 dollars

#

@winged oriole which one do you think is best from the 3 links you sent

pale crane
#

Honestly not much a difference between 144 and 240.. could save some money or up the resolution sticking to 144hz

winged oriole
#

well most of the links I sent are around $300-$330 and I think they come with free shipping

#

I recently ordered a 240 hrz monitor only because im going from 60hrz to 240 🙂

#

plus it had a black friday sale on amazon

dawn karma
#

im going from 60 to 240 as well

#

@winged oriole the samsung you sent is actually 90 dollars shipping

winged oriole
#

aww man

dawn karma
#

the acer one does not ship to israelDistraught

winged oriole
#

I guess just keep looking around a search for reviews on youtube...

and the alienware is 140 dollars shipping

man thats sucks

yap

winged oriole

😿

#

is the alienware g sync?

#

@winged oriole

winged oriole
#

im guessing so, no clue

dawn karma
#

oh its g sync compatible not g sync

#

i guess thats fine too

#

oh i actually found the alienware one for 390 in israel

#

i will probably buy it

#

thanks for the help @winged oriole

no problem, hope you find a monitor 🙂

i wanna go for ips

zealous wigeon

colors are better on ips for sure

#

1440p at 165hz doesn't seem too bad but there are better beals for similar specs, can't personally say anything on the user experience

#

I'm a color pleb I don't care about the color space too much if it's affordable and fast

zealous wigeon
#

I have a 27" Acer Predator and it looks pretty good although I dont use it much in favour of a 55" Q80 samsung tv....

languid badge
#

I use 25" 165hz Sceptre... Cause it was a bargain and it games well enough 😂

zealous wigeon
#

my gaming performance saw a bigger improvement from screen size than refresh rate lol although the tv does have a native 120hz

languid badge
#

My headaches saw an improvement with a higher refresh rate and freesync

zealous wigeon
#

Acer makes really nice ones then the predator is definately smoother than the tv and has gsync

#

oh and a faster response time the tv is like 4ms and the monitor is 1ms but I dont notice that too much

#

could be part of the smoothness though

Even LTT gave sceptre the best score out of the budget options

Some ghosting, but decent enough

I can't stand large screens personally, I prefer high pixel density at high frame rates

#

But to each their own

zealous wigeon
#

for me 120hz is enough the first one I tried didnt have a native 120hz so I had to try again. And then I needed one that had 2.1 hdmi so I could actually have 4k at 120hz so you have to do a lot of research

languid badge
#

Though a lot of the time I can't hit 165 cause I crank graphics settings to the absolute limit

zealous wigeon
#

yeah thats the other thing I like my graphics on ultra so I'm not usually pulling more than 120hz on modern games even on my 2080ti

#

and 4k on top of that

I am at the top of the AMD offerings with a Radeon VII

It's decent specs, but you can find similar for cheaper or with better looking displays

its seems overpriced what price are you getting

my predator was less than that bigger higher res higher refresh rate

#

I'm looking at dells website though so

But I'm the budget monitor king, I settle minor ghosting for a massive price difference

Is there a strong reason for going 1080p 165hz over 1080p 144hz?

opal grotto
#

Bragging rights lol. I personally don’t think you’ll notice a huge difference between those two

languid badge
#

You really won't notice a huge difference between those 2, but it also won't hurt to have, the recent LTT video on refresh rate and frame rate shows casual players get the biggest benifit from higher refresh rates

#

And even for the 2070/5700 range of GPUs if you are cranking settings to absolute max they can't event hit 165 most of the time at 1080p in really demanding titles

sharp panther
#

I'm running dual 1080s and hitting around 90fps at max settings

languid badge
#

But in lighter titles like mobas, CSGO , etc. Those easily hit hundreds of frames

A 165hz panel could help with a slight advantage in those kinds of titles

Minor ghosting, but what can you expect from a budget high refresh.

zealous wigeon
#

@stiff vine Scepter seems to be the only one I was looking yesterday couldnt find any thing else for less than $240

#

of course I was looking for 1440p and higher

maiden wedge
#

im looking for a 144hz 1080p display for under $300 that doesnt have much, if any ghosting, and has good color accuracy any suggestions?

#

i ussually play games like csgo or rdr2

#

Look a bit up my dude, I posted a $210 165Hz panel from MSI @maiden wedge

languid badge
#

Should fit what you are looking for

maiden wedge
#

thanks man

languid badge
#

No :D

#

For even tighter budgets I recommend the sceptre, but it does have some ghosting

maiden wedge
#

ok thank you man!

#

better than i expected to get!

languid badge
#

Yea that panel is basically the curved version of the MSI panel I linked

#

Personally not a fan of curved displays, I like my ultra thins

mossy kindle
#

ppl still want 1080p _?

olive token
#

it's still valid..

zealous wigeon
#

get all those frames for cheap

#

Of course I'm personally spoiled and prefer gaming in at least 1440p if not 2160p

maiden wedge
#

i got a 1070ti and an 8700k but for csgo do you really need 1440p or 4k?

zealous wigeon
#

no you dont "need" it and it also depends on how big your monitor is. I play on a 55" screen so my pixels are a lot bigger than on a 24" or smaller screen

#

but a 1070ti and 8700k should be able to play csgo in 1440p or 4k no problem

#

1080p is still a desired resolution for ultra high refresh rate Game play on even the meatiest of games

Acer sb220 bi a good monitor? I'm looking to pick up 2 for cheap

@zealous wigeon get yourself a 240 hz 1080p

#

I rock a 1440p 144hz monitor but thats cuz my pc is a tank and can do basically anything. Ive heard amazing things about 240 hz monitors tho

#

Also rock a 4k hdr monitor

#

But my pc isnt that good to take advantage of the refresh rate on that predator

covert solstice
#

1440p144hz>4k60hz=1080p240hz

odd echo
#

for gaming*

#

and 240hz at 1080p might be more beneficial...

tawny mural
#

^100%

#

However i still wanna play red dead in 4k soooo

#

You know i always heard of complaints on the fan on the predator x27, and honestly i have yet to hear it.

#

Like i dont understand. They probably revised it

ebon beacon
#

i only have a GTX 1650 but i'm probably not going to game higher than 1080p 😅 and i plan on a better GPU later

#

it's also G-SYNC compatible, according to newegg's page, i'm just posting this because i had bookmarked

tawny mural
#

Honestly im pretty sure they dont care ngl

ebon beacon
#

probably not from what i can tell

#

but i'm new here and i'm cautious

165Hz is the Budget 240Hz 😉

Hello guys, i could use some advice. I’m planning on upgrading my 1080p 144hz samsung LC24FG73 to a 1440p 144hz monitor soon, but I don’t know any affordable ones that i trust. Oh and a good response time is an absolute must

rugged grove
#

I don't think you'll find a low response time 1440p 144hz for anything less than $380 maybe with a sale perhaps

#

what's affordable and how low are you looking your response time to be? I mean this one's renewed yet it's 5ms and $300

maiden wedge
#

is a lower hz but a 1ms response ok to use for gaming ?

rugged grove
#

honestly anything under 5ms is fine unless you're doing super competitive CS:GO where it actually matters, but if you're doing first person shooters you practically need at least 120hz or higher because the improvement is phenomenal

#

if you want a noticeable difference and actually want to get better at a competitive game, go from 60Hz to 144Hz. You'll regret buying a 1ms 60Hz over high refresh rate, guaranteed

#

Linus Tech Tips even did a video about how High Refresh can affect your performance in gaming , it was more gains for the more casual gamers than the pros

Aoc C24G1 144hz Curved VA panel is the 1080p king for my opinion. I was using 60hz ips LG display after that getting Aoc C24G1 i get really mad. Because 60 to 144hz is amazing upgrade for my eyes. Everyone should get at least 144hz display. 👌 👌 👌

#

when I had to RMA my 165Hz panel cause a backlight failed I had use my 75Hz for 2 weeks... I was not happy

hazy obsidian
#

@rugged grove around 400-450 would work

hasty hound
#

whats the cheapest 240hz?

#

g sync

#

anyone find?

zealous wigeon
#

refurbished Acer predator 27" 240hz and gsync 279.99 from amazon

static sage
#

^I hear a quite of bit of bad reviews on the product is it worth it?

zealous wigeon
#

and I think samsung and Benq both have new ones for 299.99

#

I have a predator albeit a much more expensive one and I like it

#

cant say about that specific one though

astral gale
#

Is it ok for 2070s and r7 3700x

rugged grove
#

Have that exact one, ask me anything

#

For that CPU and GPU combo you're fine, I average 80 fps on AAA games at 1440p medium/high with a 2060 non super and an old kaby lake i5

astral gale
#

@rugged grove That's great that you own it. I have many questions.
1- Does HDR on it work well?
2- Did you have dead pixels
3- Does monitor do ghosting
4- What are the negatives of it?

zealous wigeon
#

I dont own one but I will sat that Samsung has been really good in my experience for replacing panels that have dead pixels. In one case I smacked into my tv with the vacuum cleaner handle even after it was out of warranty and they still replaced the panel for me free of charge

astral gale
#

@rugged grove When you're on, can you DM me answers please? Thanks.

I am getting this monitor as my main:
Dell AW3418DW 34.1" 3440x1440 120 Hz Monitor
And this one as a side screen:
Dell U2717D 27.0" 2560x1440 60 Hz Monitor

#

What do you guys think?

astral gale
#

What will you use this two for?

meager loom
#

AW3418DW - Gaming and main monitor for work as well
U2717D - Discord, youtube, twitch, OBS

zealous wigeon
#

it would bother me that they arent the same size but thats really personal preference. I would try to find a closer size with lower specs for the discord youtube monitor

rugged grove
#
  1. HDR works great but it should be noted it's either 144hz or full res HDR
  2. Zero dead pixels, not so much as a blemish
  3. I dunno what you mean by "do ghosting" but I haven't experienced anything like that
  4. Only negative was some backlight flicker but it turned out to be Spotify causing it with it's hardware acceleration setting. Hardware wise, the stand is a little wobbly but it's forgiveable due to the sheer size, it doesn't feel flimsy at all and is really articulated! @astral gale
zealous wigeon
#

@rugged grove whats the max Hz in HDR?

astral gale
#

Ok thanks. Buying it.

rugged grove
#

Like 60? I dunno just not high refresh lol haven't exactly checked other than watched a few movies and those are locked at 24?

meager loom
#

@zealous wigeon Oh, that's the think, the 27 Inch will be the same horizontal sinze as the 34 Ultrawide

zealous wigeon
#

yeah I actually was thinking that after I typed it

#

@rugged grove yeah I was thinking for gaming in HDR which I like in some games

meager loom
#

That would bother me quite a lot as well, in fact I would love to get kind of some monitor aesthetic

rugged grove
#

Haven't done hdr in games tbh. 2060 isn't great for 1440p lol

meager loom
#

I though about the new 34 and 27 LG Ultragear

astral gale
#

Looks like I finally found a good monitor

#

For 2070s

zealous wigeon
#

but as I game on a 55" TV with a 27" 4k 240hz Acer Predator sitting next to me I may not be the best person to ask about monitors LOL

astral gale
#

4k 240 hz ???....

rugged grove
#

Woah what

zealous wigeon
#

I think it only does 4k in 144hz actually

#

but it can 240hz for 1440p

rugged grove
#

Dude a 144hz 4k is already like $900

astral gale
#

non-existing tech has been founded in this person's house

zealous wigeon
#

It was only like $700 when I got it

meager loom
#

I also though about geting 27 240HZ 1440p monitor for some FPS games, since Ultrawide don't give you a lot of value in most of the FPS games, but higher frequency does

rugged grove
#

And are you sure you can do 1440p 240hz? Non native high res isn't common

astral gale
#

Yes

#

1440p 240 hz isnt a thing i think

meager loom
#

But I don't know if I would botter doing the switch all the time

zealous wigeon
#

XB272 27" FHD

#

lol its not 4k I thought it was

#

too be fair I did say I dont use it

#

1080p in 240hz only

#

tv looks much better

meager loom
#

What do you play?

zealous wigeon
#

Warthunder, Battlefield 5, Starcraft 2, WoW, VR games, and a bunch of others not as often when they come out like that star wars assassins creed clone and the outer worlds

#

obviously the monitor doesnt matter for VR

#

supposedly my TV can do gsync but I havent figured out how to do it....

#

its not in my nvidia control panel

meager loom
#

How far away do you sit from the TV?

zealous wigeon
#

about 4 feet

meager loom
#

I never really liked using TV to play keyboard games, I usually go for TV for games like The Wither 3

zealous wigeon
#

for me the screen real estate helps with first person/first plane shooters

zealous wigeon
#

in warthunder I can see the pixels that make up your plane sooner farther away than on a smaller monitor 😉

meager loom
#

I see 😄

#

Have you tried ultrawide?

zealous wigeon
#

you know I havent and I have thought about it

#

arent not all games optimized for it so it can look stretched?

meager loom
#

@zealous wigeon most of then are nowdays... It's hard to find one that won't work well on Ultrawide

zealous wigeon
#

thats good because that was one of the major reasons I held back when they first came out

#

the eyefinity setup is awesome

meager loom
#

It was in 2013 😄

#

Since the day I moved to Ultrawide, I never come back

zealous wigeon
#

I have been really happy with the tv though it does have native 120hz, great colors, high brightness, and a hdmi 2.1 port <-- most important thing about tv gaming

meager loom
#

What TV is it?

zealous wigeon

Q80 samsung 2019 55"
