[meager loom]

WoW I have almost the same here

[zealous wigeon]

nice

[meager loom]

It's on my living room, but I will replace the living room one for something more "cheap" (I have two kids and they tend to break stuff)

[zealous wigeon]

LOL

[meager loom]

I moved abroad at the start of this year, and got this TV for half the price just because of that small dmg on the coner of the box

The TV was perfect inside, no damage on it

[zealous wigeon]

yeah all the samsung Q80 and above for 2019 got hdmi 2.1 everthing else has their proprietary 2.0b ports that they said could do 4k at 120hz but actually cant

sounds like a good deal to me

[meager loom]

I always look for those deals, never found another one like this again 😄

Someone prob messed up, they sell it for 10~20% cheaper with real damage on the TV itself

[zealous wigeon]

I got my 75" Q6 samsung for my living room for $800 at the local walmart they were getting rid of any tvs over 65" in their inventory. I went to walmart to grab printer ink or something and saw it and asked an employee if that price was right? they said yeah so I bought it LOL

[meager loom]

Jackpot

[zealous wigeon]

tied it to the top of my Jeep to bring it home

had to wheel the tv back inside to buy rope after I realized it wouldnt fit 😝

I was like honey there is good news and bad news good news we have a new 75" TV bad news we cant go out to eat anymore this month lol

[meager loom]

LOL

Me talking to my wife today

Baby, do you know the new kitchen you want so bad?

Yeah, it will have to wait a little bit longer 😄

To be fair, I did a lot of freelance work to get the money for the PC

And I just put a lot of money into the House, well, we bought the house 2 months ago and we renovated the bathroom and toilet, now it's time to treat me a bit

[zealous wigeon]

lol I could see it

I will say though about that Q6 its not the best tv it looks good but there are times when I can see the leds behind that giant screen like little glowing balls but it was only $800 for 75"

[meager loom]

I also sold my old rig when we moved here the start of this year 😄

@zealous wigeon Yeh, I would be very happy with this huge tv at this price, even seeing some lights

[zealous wigeon]

I save all my old rigs and keep them for some reason along with all my old gpus

I keep them going like antique cars. I have an old AMD 965 phenom II overclocked to 4.4ghz that still works without any issues

I had another one that was filled with water in an aquarium but it died and no longer holds water 😦

[meager loom]

I usually give my old rig away to someone I know that could benefit from it...

But my last Rig was still quite "new" and worth some good money that I would use to re-start my life across the ocean 😄

I moved from Brazil to the Netherlands

[zealous wigeon]

thats a big move

I went to Amsterdam the summer between highschool and college 🙂

[meager loom]

And I was able to sell the rig for practically the same price I paid for it, I bought it on US, but Brazil is usually 50~90% more expensive, so even after two years, the prices where still very high in Brazil for the same build...

I work in Amsterdam, close to the Anne Frank House

[zealous wigeon]

nice it was a neat place to visit

[meager loom]

It is very beautiful the architecture and everything

[zealous wigeon]

I mostly remember you could only drink in some places and smoke in others and they could never mix LOL

[meager loom]

Despite what people may think about the Netherlands, we have a lot of rules here and the Dutch's are very bureaucratic

[zealous wigeon]

I think I was there the summer of 97..

[stable trout]

1080p 60hz gang where u at

Also dvi gang lmao

[quartz sinew]

right here

i'm on a laptop so whatever display cables they use

[zealous wigeon]

I do have a dvi monitor plugged into a pc at my house

and its mostly because of VR and the fact that the 2080ti only has one hdmi port....

[quartz sinew]

yeah

[zealous wigeon]

an displayport to hdmi cord is somehow like $40 and and a displayport to dvi is like $3

plus the 2080ti was kind enough to supply a displayport to dvi adapter with my $1500 card in all of their generosity

[quartz sinew]

mhm

[hasty hound]

cheapest 240hz?

[visual pilot]

you prob shouldn't go for cheapest 240hz, bc at that budget might as well get a nice 165hz or 144hz monitor

(instead of some offbrand chinese 240hz monitor)

bc it looks like 250$ for cheapest 240hz monitor
(https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824737003)

[terse sparrow]

Should I get 1440 p 144hz for 1660 ti

I usually play minecraft

And csgo on med settings

[visual pilot]

I would suggest not, because it can't run much else at 1440p 144hz

that might be a bit more of a graphics card question tho

afaik like a 2070 super or like 5700xt would be recommended for 1440p 144hz

[hasty hound]

If I get a 240hz monitor and I play fortnite at 200 FPS, will it cap to 200 FPS automatically?

@ me if your replying

❤️

[quartz sinew]

@hasty hound what exactly do you mean by that?

[visual pilot]

varible refresh rate?

only some monitors have G-Sync

[zealous wigeon]

I mean you are capped at the amount frames your GPU can ouput to the monitor

[hasty hound]

Ahh ok

[zealous wigeon]

so if you can only get 200fps on a 240hz monitor you are seeing 200fps

[quartz sinew]

yee yee

and fps may still fluctuate

[zealous wigeon]

yes it definitely will

[hasty hound]

So if I’m getting 230fps on a 240hz monitor it will show as 230hz right? @zealous wigeon

Ohhhh I understand

Ok

Thanks

[zealous wigeon]

Hz doesnt really mean anything to you, you see 230fps in that instance

[hasty hound]

Ok

[quartz sinew]

^

[hasty hound]

I understand

[zealous wigeon]

the amount of frames per second

[hasty hound]

Lmao

Ok

Would it feel like 240hz even if I’m close to 240fps?

If im on 200 FPS or 215

[zealous wigeon]

Hz is how many times the monitor can refresh the screen per secon

[hasty hound]

Oh ok

[quartz sinew]

If you get within like 10 fps of your monitors refresh rate, you're probably not gonna notice much unless you're a fine tuned viewer

[zealous wigeon]

most people cant tell the difference between 120fps and 240fps

[quartz sinew]

I can hardly tell the difference between 50 and 60

[zealous wigeon]

and gysnc/freesync can smooth out tearing

[visual pilot]

60hz to 144hz is a huge difference, but above up its a bit less noticible

[quartz sinew]

yeah

[zealous wigeon]

I am fine at 120hz doesnt bother me 60hz on the other hand I can tell I'm missing things

[quartz sinew]

I've never actually seen a resolution above 1080p, nor a refresh above 60hz

[zealous wigeon]

😭

[quartz sinew]

I'm living in the shadows

[zealous wigeon]

why?

[quartz sinew]

I've never had a chance

[zealous wigeon]

I get the refresh rate but everyone should experience 4k

[quartz sinew]

true

I really wanna see 144fps and 4k, those are my PCMR goals

[whole sorrel]

480p 😎

[quartz sinew]

My old phone display (cheap walmart android one) was 480p

You know it's funny, you don't really see how bad a resolution is until you see that resolution on a better resolution display

[zealous wigeon]

isn't there an electronics store near you with 4k tvs on display at least?

[quartz sinew]

no

I'm from a small town so our walmart just has cheap 1080p televisions

Not even a monitor that goes past 1080p or 60hz

In the nearby cities (half hour drive) there are some good monitors, but there aren't any floor models

[zealous wigeon]

What you need to do is google "4k movie theaters near me" and take a road trip some weekend and be amazed

[quartz sinew]

Can't do that either, i'm in grade school and i can't drive

You'd be amazed how limited i am when it comes to the small things

[zealous wigeon]

On the plus side you have plenty of time 480p hadnt been invented yet when I was grade school lol

[quartz sinew]

fair

movie framerates in the 20's were around 24fps

And dear god don't make me start about the resolutions

[dreamy thicket]

worth upgrading to a 2k 144hz monitor running an OC'd 1070 or just go for a 1080p 144hz? thanks in advance. currently on a cheap asus 1080p 60hz insert meh face

planning on upgrading gpu next year sometime, along with cpu, and mobo, and.... goes down rabbit hole

[maiden wedge]

Honestly, I'd go for the 1440p 144hz

[dreamy thicket]

that's what i was thinking. gpu can't make the most of it but i really want the better refresh

i don't play incredibly demanding games anyway

[visual pilot]

1440p 144hz is a nice mid point

[dreamy thicket]

how do you feel about ultra wides

they're so expensive and the response time is lacking a bit

but they look so damn cool

[silk hawk]

Meh, I have one and it makes stuff like playing lesser known titles and streaming difficult

[dreamy thicket]

roger that, ill stick to 16:9 then

any recommendations on a 2k 144?

[silk hawk]

LTT reviewed that one really cheap aoc one a while back

Seemed decent

[dreamy thicket]

yeah i've been looking at those

thanks

[thick tusk]

ive also never seen more than 60hz and 1080p

tho that might change in january

[ebon beacon]

i've seen 1080p/144Hz

that monitor died

[livid carbon]

lmao

[ebon beacon]

i am dead serious using a 32" 720p TV right now because no monitor

next month i'm getting a https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-S34J55W-34-Inch-Ultrawide-LS34J550WQNXZA/dp/B07FBS36W2/ and my 1650 is not gonna like it

but i don't care because i'll have a 5700/XT depending on the funding soon

prob really want to get the XT

for that monitor

it doesn't have g-sync/freesync but it's so big and wide

[meager loom]

Bold

[ebon beacon]

i'm always bold

[whole sorrel]

Apparently not

[ebon beacon]

exsqueze me

i don't have time for all those asterisks

[whole sorrel]

:))

[maiden wedge]

anyone try using a CRT on modern hardware?

like. somehow adapt hdmi to whatever analog input a crt tv requires for the lulz

[maiden wedge]

turns out crts can run much lower resolutions with no drop in image quality, which means much smoother framerates overall

not great for professional work but pretty good for gaming

that also means they're much more friendly towards budget builds 👀

[ebon beacon]

enjoy your flickering

also modern GPUs can have DVI ports, which can be converted to VGA

[olive token]

degauze button.

[ebon beacon]

bwommmmmm

[olive token]

BooIIiInnNG

haha 😄

[odd echo]

i have a 1070 and it has DVI

[ebon beacon]

1070 is pretty old in all fairness, the question is if it has analogue DVI out

[odd echo]

no clue

lol

[ebon beacon]

if it offers that part of DVI, you can convert to VGA

basically it's whether the thing on the end of it is shaped like - or +

[odd echo]

o

[ebon beacon]

• is digital only, + is analogue and digital

[odd echo]

lemme find a picture

[ebon beacon]

VGA is just RGB fed through a DB15 cable

same with analogue DVI

except a DVI cable

there are almost no analogue DVI devices anymore

except like, projectors

[olive token]

Anni has smarts.

[ebon beacon]

don't ask me to do some math or something

[olive token]

hahaha!!

I -hate- math.

[ebon beacon]

the last time i really engaged in math in school was trig

now i can't even remember wtf trig is

[odd echo]

its - only

Linus is good for the community I think because his videos make people curious

[olive token]

we were sitting pretty with about 20,000 non active users.

[ebon beacon]

people who aren't necessarily into building PCs and things come in from watching his videos

[olive token]

then the flood gates opened.

[faint heron]

I have two HDMI monitors and want to connect them to a Desktop. Does anyone make a desktop with two HDMI ports?

[olive token]

wouldnt that make a mirrored screen?

[ebon beacon]

probably

you'd need to go into settings and change it to spanned across both monitors

you might be able to get a displayport to HDMI converter for the second one?

or does one of them have displayport?

[olive token]

@faint heron https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16812423060?Description=hdmi splitter&cm_re=hdmi_splitter-_-12-423-060-_-Product

something like this?

[ebon beacon]

btw i'm plugging displayport

[olive token]

DP gang!

same

[ebon beacon]

also with a splitter it's definitely gonna just be split

[odd echo]

if youre not using the ethernet port just get an ethernet to hdmi adapter 😄

[ebon beacon]

displayport should have taken over for HDMI but hollywood likes HDCP a lot so that won't happen

[olive token]

wut zack

getting it working? no idea how to do that

on twitch?

[olive token]

yes

#621025839223668747

good times, should check it out

[surreal veldt]

just plug the cables into the video card unless its a old one

[olive token]

might not have a video card..

[surreal veldt]

my tv uses hdmi from pc and my monitor uses dp

onboard video ouch

just use a hdmi splitter

[ebon beacon]

it will mirror the display

they cannot stretch the display using a splitter

can't get more desktop space

[surreal veldt]

need a video card to multi monitor

or multi display

[ebon beacon]

also most cards i see now

have like 1HDMI 3xDP

[olive token]

but honestly we have no idea what setup he has.. he hasn't respond since the question lol.

[surreal veldt]

yea but u can use a dp to hdmi if u dont care abouit high hz

[faint heron]

So if I get a splitter I can have two screens that independent to increase my workspace. Basically I don't want to buy new monitors when I have HDMI monitors alreay

[olive token]

do you have a graphics card?

if you do, and it has HDMI / Display Ports .. then yes

[faint heron]

I need a new desktop but am deciding on what to buy. Looking for something to support my HDMI monitors

[olive token]

but if you're just relying on the single HDMI port on the mobo itself

so what do you have right now, PC wise.

[faint heron]

HP Envy that has twoHDMI ports

[surreal veldt]

when u buy a new pc make sure it has a seperate video card installed and use 1 hdmi to hdmi and 1 dp to hdmi. should give u 2 different screens

[olive token]

lol what?

where did the DP come in to play

@faint heron which ENVY is it

[olive token]

I have that monitor 😄

[elfin ingot]

xg27vq

is the model

[olive token]

oh ok I dont have that one

I have xg258

[ebon beacon]

recovered my monitor, it's working again! but no stand because i put it somewhere, possibly the garbage! so i'm punished by buying a new one!

Acer ED273 Adipx

[whole sorrel]

oof

I want to see if my broken monitor can be repaired

[ebon beacon]

my situation was the monitor was cycling colors and i didn't know you pushed in the little nubbin in the back to turn the power on and off

[whole sorrel]

I don't know what happened to it, but if I had to guess, its power supply probably died because the lil LED doesn't even turn on

[ebon beacon]

so i couldn't cycle the power

[whole sorrel]

oof

[ebon beacon]

i thought it just had no power button

and a little joystick for menus

and i swear i've pressed it in before now

[whole sorrel]

huh

[ebon beacon]

but anyway the acer tech support guy told me

and lol

[whole sorrel]

haha

[ebon beacon]

i'll keep this monitor for some time since it works

i don't need 1440p that bad

i'm gonna have to ebay for a white/silver version of the stand so it's gonna look awful but since when did i care about any of that

ASUS VG27AQ vs LG 27" 27GL850-B guys need to choice immediatly plz help me out quickly which best

[river edge]

ASUS

[mossy kindle]

why bro

[visual pilot]

Asus is gud brand?

[river edge]

I checked on RTings

better HDR gaming and overall ratings

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-vg27aq

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gl850-b

[mossy kindle]

lg has more color gamut btw

actually they have same response time almost not big deal

hmm so confused

[river edge]

More to consider than response time, look at ALL the categories. ASUS scored better in just about every one

[mossy kindle]

ye i saw

[river edge]

You're not really going to notice the color gamut unless you're a photographer and editing phots

[mossy kindle]

definetly not im not pro content creator

just avarage gamer

[plain kestrel]

I would still personally go with lg lol

It's cheaper

[mossy kindle]

damn

asus cheap in my country

[plain kestrel]

Well nvm that's another lg monitor the Asus is cheaper

Gigabytes 1440p gaming monitor looks pretty awesome too

[mossy kindle]

@river edge thanks for website i think i"ll go for asus

[river edge]

YW

[stable trout]

What is the best monitor $150-$200

Like

1080p 144hz

[astral gale]

Can I use this cable for HDR600 2K 144Hz?

[stable trout]

Use display port

That’s just a big gimmick

[astral gale]

[stable trout]

Why did my phone autocorrect big to 🚲

[astral gale]

HDMI 2.0 supports 2k 144 Hz so

[stable trout]

Dp is still better

Locking connector and higher bandwidth for future use

[zealous wigeon]

DP is not better

HDMI 2.1 is much faster

32gb/s vs 48gb/s bandwidth

[neat cosmos]

But DP is stanard use for VRR tho

[zealous wigeon]

HDMI 2.1 can do VRR

but I will agree that DP is better than HDMI 2.0 and 2.0b

It took me a very long time to get 4k to play at over 60hz on my display. And its all thanks to hdmi 2.1

[visual pilot]

Not many cards are HTMI 2.1 tho

[zealous wigeon]

only for 2080ti 😦 cant believe they only put a 2.0b in the 2080

I heard the supers were supposed to get 2.1 but I cant seem to find confirmation anywhere

[visual pilot]

That prob means supers dont have it

[sonic sonnet]

Hey guys. So, I'm building a DIY solution for a client. I am building a 4k display with a wood frame. The issue I'm having is finding a display, where the bezel does not protrude out from the surface of the screen. This is important, because the wood needs to be as close to the screen as possible for it to look right.

Does anyone have some suggestions on a display that the bezel protruding forward can but dismantled? or perhaps a supplier that can provide the internals for professional 4K displays?

This is what I'm attempting to do. My product will have a larger frame with choice of color or stain.

Mine will cost less than a 1K though haha.

[remote otter]

Any suggestions on a 4k, 144hz curved ultra wide monitor with at least 35", preferably around 1000$ or under? It should obviously have a DP plug. Also included speakers would be nice...

I know it’s very specific, but if anyone has good picks, pls answer

[zealous wigeon]

@sonic sonnet you can dismantle any of them but you will need to either tape the layers together at the edges or squeeze them together with the wooden frame you want to build. This is after all the purpose of the bezel in the first place. You would need to be very careful.

I would just get a samsung with a really thin bezel mine cant be more than a mm or 2 sticking out and route the frame to accommodate the bezel

[sonic sonnet]

@zealous wigeon Thanks, I will attempt to do this with a cheap 40 inch 4k Samsung. I just fear damaging it but, nothing ventured, nothing gained i suppose. Thank you for the response.

@zealous wigeon I might also try to find a fuzzy, or rubber material that I can fit carefully in between the small gap left between the screen and bezel to reduce the significance of the gap..

[warm token]

Is the Asus 27" TUF Gaming VG27AQ any good? I keep hearing about eye strain and headaches and other issues, but it has all the ergonomics I need.

[acoustic vector]

Someone send me a actual monitor xD I've been using an LED Westinghouse for years :(((

jk but in all seriousness. I want to build a new PC. Should I start with a new monitor?

AMD 6-Core (3 physical 3 logical) Fx-6300 @ 4.6 GHz 1.46v
Gigabyte 3x Windforce Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 @ 1444 mhz Core & @ 7100 MHz memory +12 power/temp limit
1x8GB G.Skill DDR3 @ 1866 MHz 10-11-10-30 tRC40

I get between 50-140 FPS on a 60Hz 6 ms response time TV on 1080p competitive games
and 20-40 FPS non-competitive games like Ghost Recon Breaking point.

I just want to be better at Apex/CS:GO/BO3/R6S

[visual pilot]

@acoustic vector Imo what you want is a 120hz 1080p 1ms monitor, but tbh I don't know if your pc will drive that well

[acoustic vector]

@visual pilot I was thinking the same. What if it was G-Sync? I plan to go 2070/2080 for my next build and Ryzen 5 3600 OC or Ryzen 7 3700x OC

I also stream, not sure if that makes a difference cause I stream at 30 FPS

Was also thinking of going 1440p if I go G-Sync

[visual pilot]

G sync is usually much more expensive so I would suggest not. If you make that upgrade, I suggest a 144hz 1080p monitor

I'm running a rtx 2070 with a 144hz 1080p msi monitor

It can do R6S at 144fps max settings pretty well

@acoustic vector I'm on mobile rn so it's gonna be hard to check, but if you find any good cheap-ish G-sync monitor, @ me and I'll take a look

[maiden wedge]

@acoustic vector you can run a 2070s fine with a 2700x they are on sale on amazon rn

[native coral]

Cheapest monitor possible??

[stable crow]

your friend/coworkers old monitor, you might even get it for free

[native coral]

Wow

Never thought about that

[stable crow]

i've got an ultrawide cheapo 1080p samsung i'll give you if you're in frontrange Colorado 😂

[native coral]

??!!!

Unfortunatly im not

Im in Canada

Ontario

[plain kestrel]

At my Walmart lol

[full moat]

@sonic sonnet search for the model name of your display and de-bezzle, that will most likely give you a guide/talk about what to look out for when taking it apart

[maiden wedge]

Anyone got a monitor they are selling rn

[visual pilot]

@plain kestrel I think I actually have that monitor and I got it from newegg at 180

[sonic sonnet]

@full moat thank you, I will try that keyword specifically. I didn't even know that was a thing.

[full moat]

@sonic sonnet it got very popular back when eyefinity (basically 3+ monitor setups) became a viable thing to drive from a single card.

turns out that bezels are annoying to deal with in the middle of your FOV :)

[ebon beacon]

my display lacks much of a bezel but it still has some black areas surrounding the picture

so it's kind of pointless not having a bezel

and then it has an actual bezel on the bottom

it might have to do with using a curved VA panel

[runic stump]

is this 1440p ultrawide worth the extra $100? https://www.amazon.com/Viotek-GN34CW-34-Inch-Ultrawide-Professional/dp/B07HZ499J4/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=ultrawide%2Bgaming%2Bmonitor%2B1440p&qid=1576342727&sr=8-6&th=1

compared to this

https://www.amazon.com/Sceptre-30-inch-Curved-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B07TXM7K4T/ref=sr_1_9?crid=CT0E6ZD6S9RO&keywords=sceptre+monitor&qid=1576343891&sprefix=sceptre%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-9

[covert solstice]

the first one is 1440p 100hz, the second is 1080p 200hz

[stable crow]

1440p is always worth it if your video card can keep up imo

1080p is hella pixelated

1440p is just on the border of where you can tell, technically you should be able to distinguish the pixels if you're sitting closer than 2.6ft to a 1440p monitor

[runic stump]

i have an rx590 sapphire nitro pulse se

the blue one @stable crow

[stable crow]

rx590 is like a 50-60hz 1440p card, i'm not sure about running it on an ultrawide 1440, it's gonna be like 40-50fps in new games unless you turn down settings to low-medium. depends what you use your computer for

what sort of monitor do you have now?

if you already have a 1080p monitor i guess you can put it to the side and run anything that doesn't run so well on the 1440p on it

[runic stump]

@stable crow currently i have a really old monitor its called the hq compaq la2006x

im planning on using it for gaming and schoolwork

[stable crow]

if you play a lot of shooters the 1080p is the way to go

[runic stump]

i play low demanding games

such as league and cs rocket league etc

not too many shooters @stable crow

[stable crow]

not really familiar with how those types of games run at 1440p

MOBAs are nice on a bigger monitor though since you can see more

except the minimap ends up further away on a 21:9

[runic stump]

so what would you recommend? do you think the 1440p monitor is worth the extra hundred @stable crow

[stable crow]

probably not, unless you plan on upgrading video card in the next couple years, or do a lot of work on the computer

[runic stump]

ok ill go with the 200hz 1080p one then

thanks for ur input

[stable crow]

yeah, it'll be good to see how you like ultrawides too before you drop too much on one

they are good in specific situations but they really don't do well in others

[runic stump]

i prefer ultrawides since i can multitask and get that wide viewing angle

[stable crow]

yeah, lots of multitasking stuff works better on 2 monitors instead though, so for that it's like having 1.5 monitors, which works sometimes but not others

and you'll want software that can split the monitor into 3 columns

[runic stump]

wdym?

[stable crow]

width-wise it's as wide as 1.5 monitors, so it's usually most useful to split it into 3 half-monitor sized columns. my favorite is windowgrid http://windowgrid.net/

like say you're doing schoolwork, you might want to have like TV or twitch or your music on the far left, browser in the middle, and word on the right

[runic stump]

i see what you mean but couldn't i just use the ultrawide as a primary monitor and use my current monitor as a secondary

[stable crow]

yeah that works too. the extra space is just wasted for some programs that's all

[runic stump]

i see

[stable crow]

and some games will just freak out on ultrawides or look wrong, or have black bars on the sides that just waste space, so you end up playing some games in window mode

[runic stump]

can windowgrid fix that?

[stable crow]

nah it's just to let you snap windows to whatever part of the monitor you want

[runic stump]

can you not do that buy opening multiple tabs and resizing them

[stable crow]

like say, discord on the right 1/3rd and your browser on the left 2/3rds

[runic stump]

to different parts of the screen

[stable crow]

yeah you can it's just faster and snaps to lines

[runic stump]

true

thanks for ur advice

[stable crow]

yup, no problem. i'm sure it'll be great for schoolwork and cs and rocket league. LoL might look a little weird though, the minimap is way out of your field of vision http://i.imgur.com/dmz4vbf.jpg it's also great for movies since they're made for ultrawide resolution

[runic stump]

i see

[runic stump]

@stable crow which one would you recommend?

[solemn yarrow]

they're both the same

[ebon beacon]

i have an Acer ED273 Abidpx 144Hz 1080p display

27"

i recommend it to just about anyone looking for a high refresh rate monitor

and especially for G-SYNC on the cheap

[languid escarp]

Anybody got recommendations for a cheap 1080p ips display? (60 hz is fine, more is great) I would like to spend under $200 for two monitors

[somber cloak]

anyone know a good 27'' 60hz or a cheap 120hz or 144hz

[ebon beacon]

https://www.newegg.com/black-acer-ed273-a-um-he3aa-a01-27/p/N82E16824011165 porque no los dos

this is only $200 and goes a straight 144Hz

also has freesync and gsync compatible

i am using this monitor at this very moment

it has a good picture and not a lot of distortion when you look at it from different angles

the curved-ness of it is very good

[neat cosmos]

ew, curved 16:9

[ebon beacon]

it's fine

it took a short while to get used to how the curve changes your view but now it just looks like a regular monitor

[neat cosmos]

curved is fine and all, but 16:9 seems like an ew for me
(I do have a curved 21:9)

[ebon beacon]

if it is such for you, then that's fine

i like my monitor quite a bit

[tardy parcel]

i literally cant tell the difference between my curved and my normal 16:9 monitors

[stable crow]

i think the curve is secretly to stop you from buying other brands of monitor. i have all MSI monitors now because the curves match

that's why each brand's radius is slightly different

[tardy parcel]

@stable crow i just have an acer and a dell 60hz as my second

[stable crow]

both flat?

[tardy parcel]

nah

acer is curved

[stable crow]

ah

yeah curved + flat works fine

[tardy parcel]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Acer-ED3-27-LED-Curved-Monitor-Full-HD-1920x1080-4-ms-144-Hz-16-9-250-Nit-VA/254384867515?hash=item3b3a8508bb:g:G2IAAOSwJ9VdntcK

this isnt what i have but its close

[stable crow]

idk, i do like how my two 27" monitors fit side by side. putting two flat 27" always seemed awkward to me, I have that setup at work

[tardy parcel]

thats true

i do like the flow of my curved to straight

[stable crow]

yeah

i have mine on a VESA stand so it's just one big curve with a slight break in the middle

[tardy parcel]

im proud of my seyup rn

ill send a pic gimme a sec

just need my pc to look better

which will be soon because im getting a fully modular and a better case

[stable crow]

cool, yeah i just moved my computer to a smaller TG case(did have a define R6, giant black box)

[tardy parcel]

i ned to buy more cable sleeves too

[stable crow]

what kind of case you moving to?

[tardy parcel]

500i

theyre like 75 rn

that or 510i which is 15 bucks more for a better controller

[maiden wedge]

Ugh I’m in love with the ryzen fan light but can’t use it

[stable crow]

seems like a good one for putting it on top of the desk

[tardy parcel]

its got such good cable management

[stable crow]

i like the features the NZXTs have

[tardy parcel]

obviously the management in mine is non existent which is only made worse by the non modular psu

when i was building with my new cpu/ mobo i just said screw it im waiting until i get a better psu, case combo to look good

also i will never buy from asrock again

the software for controlling my lights doesnt work

[stable crow]

eh, it's not that bad, the case just doesn't have very nice cable passthrus

[tardy parcel]

exactly

and im gonna pick up an e650 from nzxt soon

which is really nice

better sleeving, modular, etc

[stable crow]

but yeah the NZXTs have that nice panel over the passthrus

[tardy parcel]

exactly

and they cover down low

not as claustrophobic as this one

is the extra $20 from the 500 to 500i worth it?

if so, what about to 500i to 510i for $15

[stable crow]

i'm not sure what the difference is except that the 10s are 2019 models and the 00s are 2018

[tardy parcel]

yea

the main thing

is the controller for rgb

the 510i has a way faster one, according to some random people on the internet

[stable crow]

if you can find the old ones in stock that's probably the way to go since they'll be on clearance prices

[ebon beacon]

someone posted my monitor again

pretty much the only one

[covert solstice]

if you can catch the dell one on sale, it’s $100

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-24-gaming-monitor-s2417dg/apd/210-AIZS/monitors-monitor-accessories this one goes on sale for around $100 semi regularly

Hey guys I’m torn between these monitors, anyone good with the specs of them? And can give me some direction?

[solemn yarrow]

Samsung

[next swan]

Any reasons to as why i go with samsung ?

[covert solstice]

if you're spending that much, i would probably go with an ips monitor, this is the one i have rn its downclocked to 144hz (so it has less ghosting), 1440p, ips, and a great panel https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pixio-Display-FreeSync-Certified-Ultimate/dp/B07WGXXV55

oh i just looked at the last one :v the rog one is 16:9

[next swan]

I've been torn for a while

[acoustic vector]

MY girl just helped me order this 🙂 @visual pilot

1 year warranty and supposedly G-Sync capable

[uneven stone]

Sorry that wasn't for me I realized

Can anyone reccomened a monitor that is 144Hz and 1ms? I have a budget of up to $250 USD

[maiden wedge]

@uneven stone

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Gaming-Monitor-response-FreeSync/dp/B07MB7WT39

[uneven stone]

What type of panel is it @maiden wedge?

[solemn yarrow]

that one from Dell is TN

[uneven stone]

Mk

[solemn yarrow]

nothing wrong with TN anyyways

[uneven stone]

I was about to ask that

[maiden wedge]

I have a 1920x1080 with TN and I don’t care about panel style even when on max graphics.

[visual pilot]

I have the mag241c, its pretty good

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824475017?Description=mag241c&cm_re=mag241c-_-24-475-017-_-Product

1080p 144hz 1ms VA panel

[uneven stone]

Ty

[surreal veldt]

@uneven stone i have this one it was 250 AOC its a 144hz 1ms freesync 2k so its 2560 x 1440, gsync also works with it. its 27'' not too bad for a cheap monitor

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V39QHMY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[hot helm]

man that's $300

[dawn karma]

Hey guys i have a question

My friend sells his aoc c27g1

Im buying it from him

Is it a good monitor?

[visual pilot]

should be good if you're getting it for like 160$ or less

[dawn karma]

In our country a brand new one cost 400 dollars

[wild coral]

Spl4sH#0466 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dawn karma]

Because taxes and stuff like that

Im getting it for 200 dollars @visual pilot

He used it only for a month

[surreal veldt]

i have the cq version i think they call it , but mines 1440p 1ms 144hz

works with gsync

not bad for a cheap gaming monitor

[visual pilot]

@dawn karma that one here is 220 dollar full price no discount, when I looked it up, that model is only free sync, not adaptive sync.

[surreal veldt]

220 for 250 u can get the one i have and its 1440p not 1080p

i have the Q27G1WG4

[visual pilot]

I would go with 250 1440p 144hz

That sounds like a good deal

[surreal veldt]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V39QHMY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

its a pretty nice monitor for the money

has a nice base doesnt wiggle and feel cheap like some monitors

[dawn karma]

Or i can add some money and buy the alienware aw2518hf

[surreal veldt]

its smaller thats for sure

and only 1080 not 1440p the aoc is higher resolution

[dawn karma]

Im not gonna play 2k @surreal veldt

If i get the alien ware i will probably play 1080p 240hz

I dont play demanding games i play fortnite,overwatch,cs go

Stuff like that

[surreal veldt]

o ok it definately looks better tho but if u want 1080p thats good too i just stay away from alienware ever since dell bought them out

[sharp ivy]

did anyone try alibaba monitor? ihopestar/ipason/etc?
https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=144hz+monitor

[sage trail]

theres no guarantee that thats actually a 144hz panel tho

[dawn karma]

@surreal veldt why? I heard good things about their monitor

[sharp ivy]

yeah most of their buyer are from dubai base on their review

[ebon beacon]

lol

so $725.00

which is a great price

but 5 units

hand them out to all your friends!

[sharp ivy]

you can order one, just tell the seller that "I need one first so I can the rest for my internet cafe"

[surreal veldt]

its a cheap chinese monitor. only 250 nit too. notice how they dont say the name they just say amd freesync

[stable trout]

Yea it’s probably a scam or just a doo doo monitor

[keen mirage]

guys i cant get my display port cable to work on my gtx 970 to my alienware aw2518hf 240hz monitor.. any ideas?

[river edge]

Well, the 970 only has Displayport 1.2 which is capped at 60hz. Sorry for the bad news but that card is kind of a waste for that monitor. HDMI may be better. Maybe try resetting your monitor or checking the input?

[keen mirage]

wow really? thats crazy then.. i can get 240hz with an hdmi cable. only reason i wanted this DP cable was to enable g sync since nvidia did that thing where u can enable g sync on freesync monitors

ill stick to the hdmi cable then for sure. ty again Bekora

[river edge]

Yeah, let me read a tad more

before you up and leave lol

[keen mirage]

ok

[river edge]

Is that a 1080p monitor?

[keen mirage]

yes

[river edge]

K, stand by

[keen mirage]

sure thing

i read a lot of posts saying that the gtx 970 has always been very bad at using its display port... i came across posts saying that some tourbleshooting like getting into the uefi and booting a certain way helped but idk about all that stuff. im just tryna game lol

[river edge]

Yep

It does have issues with the DP

I had one

[keen mirage]

ill just stick to the hdmi then

i wonder if i can hit up evga for a new card tho

[river edge]

Looks like it will do 144hz max anyway

[keen mirage]

with the DP cable?

[river edge]

still reading

[maiden wedge]

Depends on the 970 - but should do 240hz just fine

[river edge]

Yeah, at 1080p

I assuymed the monitor was 1440 before checking

[keen mirage]

yeah that's the max support on this monitor i believe

[river edge]

DisplayPort 1.2

[keen mirage]

npnp

[river edge]

Ok, now to get it to work

Stand by

[keen mirage]

ok

[river edge]

This is how someone else got it to work:

• hook up hdmi and dp
• open nvidia control panel and set DP connection as the primary display
• reboot
• open nvidia control panel and disable hdmi input
• reboot and problem should be solved

[keen mirage]

setting the DP as primary would be under what in the NVCP

digital audio?

[maiden wedge]

Windows makes it easy. From display options

[river edge]

I think this has to be done in the nVidia Control Panel though

?

Set UP Multiple Displays

Set DP to Default

Both cables same monitor

[keen mirage]

i dont even have the option in there

[river edge]

With both DP and HDMI plugged in?

[keen mirage]

yes

[river edge]

Oof, read reports of funky DP ports on the 970s

Try flipping the cable or wiggling it

[keen mirage]

ok brb

[maiden wedge]

Does nvcp have an option for that? It takes 5 secs in windows to designate primary display

[river edge]

It does

[keen mirage]

LETS GOOO!!!!

[maiden wedge]

ah, right click

[keen mirage]

LETS GO DUDE

[river edge]

wut

[keen mirage]

this guy deserves a title in this discord fr

it worked

[river edge]

pfffff

[keen mirage]

i see the two options now

[river edge]

NICE!

Set DP to default

then unplug HDMI and reboot, see if it sticks

PS, google deserves the award, not me. I just have good google-fu 😉

[keen mirage]

boom dude

AYY

thank you bro

[river edge]

Welcome!

[keen mirage]

im running on DP cables lets go

now time to see if i can reboot

and get g sync

im running on the single cable now. unfortunately i dont see any g sync option maybe my card is too old for that nvidia feature. all gravy though. thanks again Bekora

[river edge]

You're welcome!

I can dig up the g-sync stuff if you want

[keen mirage]

ok for sure

so my monitor is freesync and i heard recently that the nvidia cards can run g sync through the freesync monitors but like i said maybe the 970 is too old

[river edge]

OH freesync

That may make a difference

Let's see what my google-fu says

[keen mirage]

lol

[maiden wedge]

Any DP 1.2a card should be able to handle it, same goes for monitor, only with rare exceptions

[river edge]

Got it

Try this

[keen mirage]

hmmm well i just updated my gpu drivers to the latest ones

[river edge]

“If the above isn’t available, or isn’t working, you may need to go to Manage 3D Settings, click the Global tab, scroll down to Monitor Technology, select G-SYNC Compatible in the drop down, and then click Apply,” Nvidia’s announcement post says.

[maiden wedge]

I think the hardware module g-sync has it's own tab , but go to monitor - ya, that

[river edge]

ALso make sure Adaptive Sync is enabled on the monitor itself through the on screen display

It's not an automatic thing from just plugging a cable in

Ah, well, poop

@keen mirage just found this from nVidia

Update: Adaptive Sync is only being enabled on GTX 10-series and RTX 20-series graphics cards as well, with no plans to activate it in older GPUs.

So, looks like you're out of luck. 😦

[keen mirage]

awww yeah i was lookin and lookin for the enable adaptive sync on the monitor. cant find it.

ay all good tho. today was a win regardless!

ty again dude have a good day and fr i see you here a lot and always helpin, you deserve a title imo

[river edge]

Lulz

You're welcome!

[keen mirage]

time to game. thanks again and laters

[river edge]

have fun!

[maiden wedge]

TIL 900 series can do hardware g-sync, but not adaptive/fre

[leaden forge]

Will monitor prices ever go down ?

[whole sorrel]

never

not ever

ever?

no

never

[stable trout]

I’m sure they will, but only when some more really high end tech in the field comes out, like 300hz or something

And then around that time I think consumer monitors will start switching to 75 or 120 hz

[leaden forge]

In 2020 u think ? @stable trout

[stable trout]

Nah probably like 2021-22

The industry still has a way to go before then

[leaden forge]

Alright

[full moat]

you can easily add a bunch more years to that

look at the rate that the industry has adopted current tech

there is not a good incentive for the industry to leap-frog tech at all

the consumers are going to consume

[stable trout]

^

[full moat]

mind, i would LOVE for the industry to leapfrog, but ... yeah :)

think about this, 720p panels are still being produced

[stable trout]

🤮

720p

Why even bother

Well, on a phone screen, 720p is fine, but a 20+ inch monitor is just stupid

[full moat]

because there are people that wants rainbow barf builds with overpowered cpu/gpu setups, running on cheap as nails PSU's and they forget/dont know about the (important) monitor.

so they buy whatever is cheapest

[visual pilot]

420p

[stable trout]

69p

[full moat]

the trinitron monitor line would like its weight number back @stable trout

am i ever happy we dont have to cart around CRT monitors anymore

[granite tulip]

CRTs are the devil, unless they stay at home and are the PVM/BVM kind

and you play your sega genesis and SNES on them

do you know how much back spasms i have

moving CRTs is not my favorite thing

[sage trail]

i help out with retrogamecon in Syracuse, NY

we have almost 80 old CRT monitors and TV's of varying sizes

its a workout

[full moat]

80 crt's thats cute

try a university

and dont forget at the end of the CRT era, people had multiple of them at each desk

matrox cards ftw

[sage trail]

ya, but we do it on a yearly basis

[full moat]

yes, and i used to service several universities plus companies :)

[sage trail]

im sure it was terrible to do all those at once tho

[full moat]

i dont envy you either :)

how are you guys dealing with spareparts etc?

[sage trail]

ebay mostly, we pull from other dead equipment

[full moat]

so, slowly declining stock etc?

[sage trail]

i mean, kinda

we have, a ton of this stuff

[full moat]

yes, now :)

[sage trail]

yep 😭

i think like 4 or 5 of our old tvs stopped working in transit

like, they were working yesterday

[full moat]

aye

they get "brittle" with age

[sage trail]

yea, no amount of blankets can help sometimes

[full moat]

aye

i remember one university that had a massive basement complex, one corner of their undergroundwarehouse was just the original boxes for the monitors

a literal mountain of boxes

[sage trail]

lmao

Is there anything wrong with this monitor?

Um

It has one star review

And it looks fake

Like really fake

Well it says it’s direct from Lenovo so idk

[uneven stone]

Yeah but the review doesn't exist

Any1 else?

Oh that would explain it

I went to Lenovo's website @stable trout

[stable trout]

Interesting

The frame and body makes it look really cheap

[ebon beacon]

Lenovo is Shenzhen's Finest, and well it's not very expensive

so you can expect to get what you pay for is what i say

imo what lenovo does well is laptops and phones

some of their phones are great

and some of the laptops

but otherwise i'd stay away

oh i owned this desktop with the potatium processor from them that i stole DDR4 from for another build

[glossy fractal]

is 1440p rly worth it

i have a '070 super btw so i can definately run it

2070 super*

[uneven stone]

What about this one?

[river blade]

1440p at 144Hz is the sweet spot atm I’d say

[hot helm]

how is that monitor only $130

[ebon beacon]

it's a woot

woots are usually priced absurdly low

one day, one deal

i was on the site really early, when it first came out in like 2003 or 4

deals have been ludicrous for 15 years

[stone rose]

slightly punched my monitor, and it went black and not turning on, is it broken?

not really a punch more like hitting it with my palm

[full moat]

check your cables @stone rose

[stone rose]

alright then

doesnt seem to be any problems,i've punched it before once and nothing happened

[full moat]

that is not how statistics work

this might seem a bit silly, but try and pull the power from the monitor, wait a minute or two, and then plug the power back in.

[amber ingot]

hi

Im not geting 144hz on my montior and Idk why

[slate hamlet]

What do you mean by this

[amber ingot]

my monitor: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1457453-REG/lg_24gl600f_b_24_class_full_hd.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=Cj0KCQiAxfzvBRCZARIsAGA7YMx5MZP7g4NCRdGsHDmgZ-j45wsTnFfYY5ITAUloL8BENwIIDihUaCwaAiZEEALw_wcB

dp: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078HVDMW2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

it said that im geting 60hz

[slate hamlet]

did you go through nvidia control panel and enable 144hz

or are you talking about fps in a game specifically

[amber ingot]

no not the game

and I using amd gpu

[slate hamlet]

does this help

[amber ingot]

were do I go for the top left one

[slate hamlet]

device manager

[amber ingot]

which one

[slate hamlet]

Just have nvidia bro

[amber ingot]

wait I found it

[slate hamlet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li-YaotUz1o try this?

[amber ingot]

🙂

this one right?

[slate hamlet]

looks good

[amber ingot]

thanks for your help 🙂

[slate hamlet]

well now I know what I'm in for if I ever get a 5700XT

[amber ingot]

it was easy you just need to go to advance display and click on display adapter propetires for display 1

and boom your there

[slate hamlet]

all I have is a lowly 60hz 😔

Oh yeah and make sure to get Freesync working cuz that'll be awesome

[amber ingot]

What’s freesync again?

[slate hamlet]

it's a software thing to match the refresh rate of your monitor to your gpu's output at any moment

Basically vsync but better

[amber ingot]

Ah ok

[slate hamlet]

not sure how to enable it though...

[amber ingot]

Don’t worry I know how

This is what I have

[slate hamlet]

you have to enable it in Radeon settings too FYI

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh-013

[mossy kindle]

is it lg right ?

[amber ingot]

Yes

It auto updates

In Radeon

[ebon beacon]

having nvidia doesn't help any more than AMD

i was scrolled up wow

i gotta start checking that

[olive token]

lol

discord made you look like a goob 😛

I hate when chat stops scrolling 😠

[ebon beacon]

it doesn't give you the blue bar either

it's just like ha ha watch this

[slate hamlet]

Maybe it's just cuz I already know how it works but nvidia control panel is pretty easy for me

[digital vale]

In my opinion, G-SYNC is better because I have been using it on an pre-built OMEN HP (bad idea to get a pre-built, ik now)

But, I'm willing to change things up a bit, should I stick with G-SYNC or go for FREESYNC?

Because I love having a faster framerate.

[magic root]

Both are basically the same

It's really just a question of whether your using DP or HDMI and Nvidia or AMD

[digital vale]

gonna use HDMI + Nividia

[mossy kindle]

btw oled panels best panels by far

[covert solstice]

🤨

[clear lily]

Whats the best 240hz monitor? 24.5 or 27 inches! dm me

[quartz sinew]

anyone got some good ideas for a good 1440p 144hz for less than 600?

i saw a dell one 34" earlier but i didnt test it for blurring

[ebon beacon]

https://www.amazon.com/Acer-XG270HU-27-inch-FREESYNC-Widescreen/dp/B00VRCLHYS

just a shot in the dark, i have an acer panel that i really like but haven't seen this one up close

[quartz sinew]

at that price point it might be blur tho

that's my concern

[ebon beacon]

are you looking for one that is $599?

[quartz sinew]

i'm looking for one that's like 550

or at least relatively close, i'd only get it on sale much later on

[ebon beacon]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XT6WQCJ/

[quartz sinew]

oop found the dell one

[ebon beacon]

ah nice

[quartz sinew]

now i just gotta research if it blurs

oo its got good reviews

but i don't think its a TN panel, not sure

it uses a VA, thoughts? @ebon beacon

[ebon beacon]

my current display is a VA panel (only kind you can use curved except a really expensive type of IPS) and i'm super satisfied with it

looks sharp and colorful

[quartz sinew]

does it blur at all during fast movement?

[ebon beacon]

keep in mind it is 1080p/144Hz/27inch

and i haven't seen blurring myself

but i haven't been looking for it either

[quartz sinew]

can you check by chance?

[full moat]

Keep in mind, it differs from person to person how noticeable blur is.

[quartz sinew]

true

i just gotta figure this all out because it's 520 USD, 1440p 165hz, 32" curved, and that seems fishy for the price-point

[full moat]

not really

economics of scale etc

[quartz sinew]

?

idk i just see monitors that are smaller and similar spec

for way more

granted they might be using expensive IPS panels

[ebon beacon]

i don't notice any blur, i watched a relatively action heavy thing

[full moat]

that does not mean that a bigger monitor for less cost is wrong.

[quartz sinew]

thanks anni

[full moat]

the market generally adjusts to what the customers are willing to pay

[quartz sinew]

very true

[full moat]

sadly one of the reasons why 16:10 monitors are annoying to find

[quartz sinew]

never heard of 16:10 scale

i suppose that's the problem lol

[full moat]

1920*1200

was used a lot in workplaces

[quartz sinew]

ah

[full moat]

the extra vertical space is LOVELY

[quartz sinew]

i'm sure

[full moat]

anyway, best of luck with your monitor hunt :)

[quartz sinew]

thanks mate

I have that samsung curved monitor that was linked earlier. The stand is huge. The monitor alone is heavy as hell. Mine glitches out hard though when i turn it on for the first time of the day when its cold. It has to warm up before i use it. Like the pixels are all types of frozen. I made it warm up faster by using a white background though. idk if thats what helped it, but the time got shorter for sure. after a while, id prefer it to be flat. The curve isnt noticeable, but personally im starting to not like curved like on my note 10 plus also. Im starting to look into moving on from this monitor into anything with the same specs, or better, and flat. theres some, but eh. i already got this one. LG has one. i think Pixio does too. For me personally, Samsung is kindve still holding onto a "space saving" 32inch 1440p 144hz VA Flat panel and im waiting for that to drop already. Its literally the same monitor, just flat. but that gets me hot, lol. at first the curve was nice, but it got annoying after a while. im mostly looking for a monitor of the same specs, but flat and IPS. Seems like all companies are avoiding it though. Theyve already made panels that are just short of my desire, or WAY above it. i just want a (minimum) 32 inch, 1440p, 144hz, IPS monitor. the current one i have is alright though. Nothing bad about it.

Hi, I'm building myself a "high end" pc, with 2080 ti and the amd ryzen 9 3950x, I'm just looking for tips or recommendations for a monitor that would work with such a pc :) I prefer 24 tum monitors, I mainly play rts games and sometimes csgo/cod, I was thinking of getting a 240hz 1080p monitor, but not sure anymore, anyone that has some tips? :)

[magic root]

you could pull off 1440p 240hz with that on those games

i cant remember if those exist actually

i would go for a 120hz 4k personally

at that price point

[covert swift]

Okey 👍 I'll check on it

[clever light]

I wouldn't go 4k 120

That's a challenge on a 2080 ti

And 1440p 240 isnt a thing

I'd go 1440p 144hz with a vsync module

Gsync, autocorrect

That would allow for guaranteed 165hz

[covert swift]

Okey :)

[amber ingot]

Why is my display glitching

It only happens in Minecraft

Yes I play Minecraft

[river edge]

Looks like a window or box behind the screen shows through sporadically

Hmmm......or not

[amber ingot]

Idk

[river edge]

Laptop?

[amber ingot]

Pc

Desktop

[river edge]

Hmmm, even stranger. Java and drivers up to date?

[amber ingot]

yup

Only Minecraft is the problem

[river edge]

Only while the crafting menu is up?

[amber ingot]

No when I’m walking

And moving my mouse

[river edge]

Do you have VSync on?

[amber ingot]

How to check

[river edge]

Video license

Video settings

[amber ingot]

Idk were that

I have freesync

[river edge]

MInecraft - Menu-Video settings

[amber ingot]

Oh m

No

[river edge]

Not on?

[amber ingot]

Nope

[river edge]

Try turning it on. It will limit framerate but might get rid of artifacts

Or try limiting the max framerate to something you know you can get

[amber ingot]

No I did

Die

😦

1 sec

Yha I think that fix it thanks

[river edge]

Welcome!

SOrry you died. 😦

[amber ingot]

Die to a creeper

🙂

[river edge]

Of course! Always the creepers. -_-

What y’all think?

Link says 35”, but it’s actually the 32”

[maiden wedge]

Thats not a good monitor...

60hz as well

1080p 144hz monitor for half the price of that

https://www.amazon.com/Viotek-109013NH-Ultra-Thin-G-Sync-Compatible-Zero-Tolerance/dp/B07XD6HJPP/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=monitor&qid=1577217184&s=electronics&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExNTZBRzg1UFBMU001JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTI5MTk5TUlZTlNCVFAzRlhNJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAxMjMyNzgxNDg5UExYMkJBRVZCJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

you could also get thte 32 inch verson of that and it'd still be cheaper

[balmy radish]

Oh man oh man

I didn’t even realize it was 60hz

Admittedly I’ve been out of the enthusiast scene for a while - since UV reactive round IDE cables.

[maiden wedge]

Lmao, Yeah it happens

It's so expensive for a 1440p as well

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-27-Inch-Curved-Monitor-LC27JG56QQNXZA/dp/B07R82333S/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=1440p%2Bmonitor&qid=1577217479&s=electronics&sr=1-4&th=1

1440p 144hz

it's still expensive but it's a samsung panel

it's great

[balmy radish]

What are people gaming in these days

I see a trend of 1080p making a comeback
