Thanks

silver harbor Apr 29, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

Soooo, I hooked up my computer and turned it on for the first time it works, I think, I pushed the power button on my monitor aaaand nothing.... its a refurbished predator

#

Do I have to hold it down or is it dead?

visual pilot Apr 29, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

@silver harbor literally nothing, or does it say no signal?

#

if it does literally nothing, it's probably dead...

latent pewter Apr 30, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

@silver harbor disconnect the HDMI from the Monitor and turn it on if its dead you will see a blank screen if its not you will see a msg about no input detected if you see the msg your going to need to either try a different cable or make sure the graphics card is seated properly or try the monitor on something else Laptop etc

Are there any monitors anyone would recommend that have both high refresh rate (min 144hz) and decent color for under $300?

visual pilot Apr 30, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

It's gonna have to be 1080p <300$.

magic rapids Apr 30, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

so I'm looking at this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MKT1W65/?coliid=I3BGCI54CSSKK7&colid=14Y2TIU38DEZ2&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1 Anythoughts?

visual pilot Apr 30, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

Well, what will you be using it for?

magic rapids Apr 30, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

video editing lightly, games general use, movies, streaming a little bit of everything. Mostly looking for a nice 4k for future game stuff streaming for when I get an upgraded video card (1070 now) in the future

visual pilot Apr 30, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

Yea I wouldn't suggest 4k using a 1070 lol, but the thing is, that monitor is 60hz, so not great for gaming

#

but 4k itself is not great for high frame rates anyways

#

I'm just confused on how one of these are 150$ more than the other right now

magic rapids Apr 30, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

yeah I'm not paying for 144hz Yeah I'm familiar I'm waiting for the 3xxx series nvidia before I upgrade to that will probably run most in 2k or 1080 until those come out. Kinda want to future proof the order for a year or so

visual pilot Apr 30, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

Other than HDR 400 certification..

#

dont see much difference

magic rapids Apr 30, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

yeah I can't really tell too big a difference in all the ones highlighter. And LG's webpage is kinda all over the place in stats

visual pilot Apr 30, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

yea amazon isn't helping with how it displays specs xD

magic rapids Apr 30, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

so true! I was probably gonna look at newegg anyhow I prefer to buy from them for tech if I can

#

jsut someone sent me a link to this so hey

amazon has always been bad for tech stats. or any information usually 😛

visual pilot Apr 30, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

It's just Newegg doesn't have as good stock and pricing since it's not as big as amazon... Sadly...

magic rapids Apr 30, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

can't seem to find a decent priced 4k 144hz was kinda looking for one but tehy're all mucho priceyo

visual pilot Apr 30, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

Yea 4k 144hz are expensive af, esp during corona.

#

4k 60hz are the only real 4k panels 'normal' people can buy

vast viper Apr 30, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

Much more reasonable to use a 4k 60hz and a 1440 144hz beside each other.

visual pilot Apr 30, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

Oh yea, @magic rapids are you set on getting 4k monitor now?

magic rapids Apr 30, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

mostly I'm in no hurry my brother though... unless I have something to prove it's a good idea to wait are prices gonna come down after all this nonsense was kinda thinking of holding off to see if around july or so there would be some price drops due to flood of supply

visual pilot Apr 30, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

Ah alright so you can hold out for a bit, and I assume you want to just future proof 4k general use?

I see what you're saying, but at least stock will go back to normal, with suppliers in say Asia producing, to a limited capacity, but still producing products.

LG 27UK650-W Review

The LG 27UK650-W is a very good 27 inch, 4k IPS monitor with a low input lag for gaming and great SDR peak brightness. It has very good color accuracy, wide view...

#

Rtings can be very useful as they do pretty in depth reviews.

Hey, so ive had a 144hz monitor for about a week now and ive been playing my xbox one on it. The xbox one is hooked via hdmi, and the game ive been playing most is overwatch which runs at 60 fps and has no motion blur. The monitor has some mild ghosting when looking arround on overwatch, and ive been looking online for a fix and everyone just says turn on "Overdrive" in the settings, but my monitor doesnt have any of those options. Im wondering if when i get my pc, will the monitor stop ghosting as bad once i get 144hz over displayport???

deep fern May 1, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

overdrive often causes ghosting

#

or artifacts rather

#

still not good, it's worse than ghosting

#

hdmi can only go to 120hz also

violet acorn May 1, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

Well do u think the ghosting will get better going from 60fps to 144fps? Or will it stay roughly the same?

violet acorn May 1, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

Because right now i have 2 monitors. I have a 60hz tn panel monitor that has relatively low ghosting, but bad colors and screen tearing. And i have a 144hz va panel freesync monitor that has noticable ghosting. Right now i dont have my pc build, so i play my xbox one. The main question i have is, will the va panels ghosting get better once im playing at 144hz on my gaming pc, or will it still look the exact same as playing the 60hz xbox one?

#

Or i guess will going fron 60hz to 144hz make the ghosting less noticable??? I have never played on a 144hz monitor so i have no idea and cant find any info on it

deep fern May 1, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

ghosting is more related to the response time of the monitor. 60 to 144 with same response would have about the same ghosting but it is harder to spot with 60 as it is much blurrier.

#

also it seems va has a different pixel arrangement that can cause some artifacts like seeing almost a shadow under some colors or "objects" most people dont' spot it tho and get used to it

are there other rates that the monitor runs at?

violet acorn May 1, 2020, 10:35 PM

I dont believe so

deep fern May 1, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

i'd say 144 better

violet acorn May 1, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

Even with the ghosting???

deep fern May 1, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

also before with overdrive, some monitors there is a response time setting that has something like fast, faster or fastest, or something like that. If you see that put it on the second highest one not that highest

#

144 is still better than 60

#

ghosting is better than outright motion blur

violet acorn May 1, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

No my monitor literally has no settings to change that

Let me show u the ghosting compared to my old monitor

deep fern May 1, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

there is something on some monitors, i know asus calls it elmb or I think i've also hear dulmb that reduces ghosting

#

does a good job of it too, but I have seen many monitors that you can use elmb/ulmb and freesync/gsync at the same time

#

you can always check on blurbusters on info about high refresh, ghosting, variable sync, and input lag https://blurbusters.com/

and 2:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1393334-REG/benq_zowie_xl2411p_24_zowie_144hz.html.
The first is a ips and the second is a tn, so the first was has better color accuracy, both has same minimum response of 1ms. I personally like the msi, but might want to look into it more 🙂

I am seeing that you have to set it in setting, xbox button > system > settings > display & sound > video output. Look for a refresh rate option. This might be only for the xbox one s and x but i am not sure

yeah, I think it shouldn't be too bad

sinful bay May 2, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

Are they any monitors available now? I kind of need a new one sooner rather than later and the MSI isn’t in stock anywhere yet

#

Does the TN panel make much of a difference?

violet acorn May 2, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

Normally tn panels have worse coloring, but faster response times. I think if your mainly competitive gaming, u should go for a tn panel for the faster response time, but if ur photo/video editing the better coloring might come in handy

#

Also im not an expert, but from the info i read thats the conclusion i came to

#

It might be best to get input from multiple people on the topic though

sinful bay May 2, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

Yea I’m just a casual gamer

violet acorn May 2, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

If your just casual, then u might like an ips or va panel more than the tn for better colors. Id suggest to read up on the differences on the panels to see which you would like more. Personally i play a lot of competitive fps games so i would personally like a tn panel, but they were sold out so i had to get a va panel. The monitor has ghosting which isnt ideal, but the colors look 10x better than my old tn panel lol

@deep fern I got good news and bad news lol. First the bad news, i went into my xbox settings and wasnt able to find the refresh rate setting so im unable to change it (i have the OG xbox one). The good news though is that after about a week of emailing the sceptre tech support team trying to get this sorted out, i was told that the monitor is designed to be used at 144hz and that the ghosting thats happening on my xbox shouldnt be as bad as when i get my pc running at 144hz. Also, after playing on the monitor for like a day, i have gotten use to the ghosting so i consider this a good upgrade from my other monitor. The colors are simply amazing compared to my old monitor and im really happy i got it!

deep fern May 2, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

That good! And bad lol. Yeah I believe it’s only the one s and x that have high refresh

#

It should be better on pc, might have to manually set the refresh first but I’m glad the colors are a all around upgrade

IPS is basically a must for photo editing and other tasks that require precise colors, but some IPS panels are great, and come pre-calibrated, when some others are just not well calibrated.

Yes. or 1440

1440p <400 isn't great usually, but I can find you a good 1080p 144hz at ~200$.

Hey Guys,

Trying to help my moms new setup. she is starting graphic design. She started with a 27Inch 1920x1080 tft panel display. I then got her a 2060S so she could use her new screen a 27 inch 4K IPS panel display. The 4k model is now her main screen. and the 1080 her second one. On display settings the second screen is display with half the height.... obviously. Is there a way to make the second screen being recognized as the same size so she can drag and drop applications like a 1:1 from one to the other?

full moat May 3, 2020, 5:26 PM

no

#

because its physically different screens and the relation between the screens is based on that

Looking for a second monitor, is 4K worth it or should I got for 2k (current one is 1080p 24” ASUS rog)

tight smelt May 3, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

@half lotus What's your current CPU/GPU? Any plans on upgrading either of those soon?

#

Also, what kinds of games are you playing?

copper scarab May 3, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

I have that QZ - works well - but I think there are more attractive options on the market rn - theo has what I think is the updated version

half lotus May 3, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

@tight smelt I just upgraded gpu put in rtx 2080 cpu is i7-6400k skylake

#

Currently play mostly ffxiv

tight smelt May 3, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

@half lotus I guess it boils down to if you prefer details or framerate. 4K will get you a bit better visuals, and the RTX 2080 can definitely drive most games all games at 4K@60fps with maybe a few tweaks down from Ultra settings. But if you like your high framerate, 1440p is really a solid point for the RTX 2080 to get high fps (120+) while still maintaining those Ultra/High settings.

#

@half lotus If you've never tried a high fps monitor before, I recommend finding one in-stock locally that you can try out. 1440p and 120Hz or higher. If you can't really feel the difference, you can return it within the return window.

half lotus May 3, 2020, 11:24 PM

@visual pilot i’m going nvidia so i would need gsync and va panels have terrible colors from what i’ve heard

@deep dust First, color on most VA panels are good, and some are just as good as IPS panels. TN Panels have terrible color

#

Second, most freesync monitors are G-sync compatible.

@deep dust I mean, thats one review out of many, it's also not supposed to have good HDR since it's not even rated for any hdr

Also, this is from the rtings review of the mag271cqr, the precursor to the mag272cqr

Dude I have a 75Hz monitor but it can only go to 75Hz via HDMI

#

But when I do HDMI it also gives sound to the monitor and won't let me plug my earbuds into my actual PC

#

So basically; DVI or VGA = 60Hz and sound out of my PC (I want sound out of my PC)

#

HDMI = 75Hz but sound out of my monitor, making my earbuds droop over my keyboard which is annyoing

#

Any way to fix this?

deep fern May 4, 2020, 7:25 PM

go to audio devices in settings

it should be an option whether to use monitor audio or not

I'd check the internal connection if you are using front panel audio.

if the rear io does work then id check the internal connection

The rear IO works, i know, but that's too far away from my ears lol

ye then check the front io audio connection in the pc

I'm pretty sure the internal connection is fine, I've checked it before, but i'll check again

#

nope didnt work

#

Internal connection is fine

#

When I set my headphones to default audio device in the regular windows settings, not control panel, they work just fine.

#

But then when I restart my PC the default setting I made gets reverted.

#

Maybe if I can fix it from changing every time i turn off my PC that'll work?

#

Oh no I can't hear audio out of my monitor now 😰

#

@deep fern what did i do

#

wait

#

you know what nevermind

i just bought a sound bar with a headphone jack i'm gonna connect that to my rear IO and plug my headphones into there

#

it dosent have to be a bright display either, i usually keep backlights very low

response time is not that important either, its nice but meh

There is a repaired tn version of the predictor for about the same as the dell

maiden wedge May 7, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

@full moat ive been looking for something 35ish inches, 1080p, 60hz (120 is ok) and local dimming is a must, or oled but too expensive, color accuracy preffered, response time isnt very important

#

a tv Will do fine as well but they are all 4k

#

or if there is no local dimming it must have the greatest contrast ratio of all time lol ( i like alot of horror )

#

basically a panel good for horror movies, but also well scaleable to streaming settings, 60 fps and a typical 16:9 res, im not sure how well 1440p scales

If im not mistaken, all freesync monitors are g sync compatible if u use a DP port

deep fern May 9, 2020, 2:10 AM

g sync compatible is a certification from nvidia so not every monitor is, but i believe you can turn on g sync even if it's not certified

What happens if my frame rate is higher than my refresh rate?

opaque sedge May 9, 2020, 2:07 PM

Not much, the monitor will always be at the highest refresh rate it can handle. Even if the FPS counter is higher

ashen panther May 9, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

I maxed out 159 fps on MW while playing, not loading screen nor anything but actually playing. My refresh rate is 144hz. I shouldn't do any adjustments then?

opaque sedge May 9, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

No you should not have to do much

#

But if MW has a setting where you can set a maximum FPS, u can set it to 144

I have to go, sorry if I couldn’t help much

@olive token yo late response but does ips have good darks in your opinion?

#

Apparently they have glow when the screen is dark

#

(Sorry for wrong term )

deep fern May 11, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

not all ips panels are the same but generally ips has best color out of tn, va and ips. ips does not have perfect blacks if it is a good panel there will only be a slight glow. oled has perfect blacks but some downsides to it and are not really meant as a monitor as of right now

trail yew May 11, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

VA is a good middle ground all around

lucid flax May 11, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

But sadly most of the good monitors that aren't absurdly expensive are OOS

kindred herald May 11, 2020, 2:15 AM

dusty robin May 11, 2020, 5:01 AM

Acer Nitro XF252Q vs ASUS VG259QM thoughts? Buying today after work, need opinions. On one hand the Acer Nitro has a much faster panel and unofficial Gsync support. On the other hand the ASUS has a factory tested 280hz overclock and an impressively fast IPS panel and the better color accuracy that comes with that plus official Gsync support. Both are about the same price.

lunar apex May 11, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

@proven swift

#

You available

#

That monitor is good / bad depending on your situation

#

What games do you play and what fps do you get ?

#

There’s no point in spending extra on a 240 hz monitor if you can’t even get that when playing games , also the monitor is a TN panel which I personally don’t like because of viewing angles and bad colors but it’s all about the type of games you play .

#

@proven swift

dusty robin May 11, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

I'm competitive and my rig puts out way more than 240.

#

I might even get the same aftermarket overclock as the ASUS with the Acer if I do it myself but with the ASUS it's guaranteed out of the box, but I'm not sure how much of a difference in input delay and pixel response I will or will not notice. Now reviews say the IPS panel in the ASUS is in fact fast enough for true 240hz however you have to use pretty strong overdrive and deal with some inverse ghosting. On the TN I wouldn't need to worry about this and it even has a built in Low Latency mode that decreases Input Latency even further without introducing any inverse ghosting. I have a TN 144hz now and colors have never bothered me, but I've also never owned an IPS to compare to.

#

Then there's the Gsync support I already mentioned. The ASUS has official Nvidia certification while the Acer does not, but by checking reviews they all say Gsync works fine.

#

And my dumbass just realized you weren't talking to me. I'm gonna go sit in the corner now.

lunar apex May 11, 2020, 5:53 AM

Lmao

#

But now I’m curious , what’s your specs

#

@dusty robin

dusty robin May 11, 2020, 6:07 AM

#

9700k 5ghz all core 2070 Super 2200mhz

lunar apex May 11, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

@dusty robin what games do you play ? And what fps / settings

#

I’m currently stuck on the 3800k or the 9700k since they are both on sale

#

And I’m planning on using a 2070 super on them

dusty robin May 11, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

Usually Fortnite, Apex, Blackout, etc. Competitive settings. Things like view distance, textures, and anti-aliasing all on high and everything else off or low. Off the top of my head I only know for sure that I average between 300-500 fps on Fortnite during an actual match with those settings. I do my stream encoding using New NVENC on the Turing Architecture and see no noticeable change in gaming performance and the quality is great. Raw per core performance and all core overclocking headroom is the only reason I chose the 9700k over an AMD equivalent.

proven swift May 11, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

@lunar apex Sorry I went to bed but I was going to build a beefy computer for games like Fortnite, Fps, Rocket League, Cod

Ok so ik that some freesync monitors are backwards compatible with gsync on nvidia gpus but can amd gpus be backwards compatible with gsync?

so ips is better than tn is what im reading?

VA is the good middle ground

im probably gunna end up keeping my second monitor sideways so i think i wont really care much about the 24.5 requirement

generally tn has faster refresh and response times, ips has better color

Now the question is if it'll actually be in stock on the date it says it will be

covert solstice May 15, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

so I put a vesa mount on my monitor, and now part of the screen is dark. I’m pretty sure it’s from me accidentally over tightening some screws, what should I do?

📎 image0.jpg

#

okay now its just randomly flickering like a strobe light

full moat May 15, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

remove the vesa mount

#

did you use the right screws @covert solstice ?

covert solstice May 15, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

yeah

full moat May 15, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

as in, the ones that came with your monitor

covert solstice May 15, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

yes

#

so ive been tapping it/restarting and loosening the screws and its gone now

full moat May 15, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

because a "normal" problem is that the screws reach too far

covert solstice May 15, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

okay so i think it works but itll probably come back ill tell you if it does

full moat May 15, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

the original stand for it, does it use the vesa mount holes?

covert solstice May 15, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

yeah

full moat May 15, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

okay, then please answer this

#

the vesa mount you have now, the thickness of that (at the holes the screws pass through), is that more or less VS the original stand?

covert solstice May 15, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

lemme check

#

it’s the same but now it’s fine

📎 image0.jpg

full moat May 15, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

"its the same" <- thats about the thickness of the material?

covert solstice May 15, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

yeah

full moat May 15, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

hm

covert solstice May 15, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

same thickness and everything

full moat May 15, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

do yourself a favour, get some spacers

covert solstice May 15, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

like washers?

full moat May 15, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

just 2-3 mm plastic ones

#

aye

#

spacers/washers

#

its just weird that it did that

covert solstice May 15, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

i just put some thin metal ones that came with the mount so i think it should be fine

#

yeah

full moat May 15, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

hence why i recommend the spacers

covert solstice May 15, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

but i have no experience with monitors so probably something stupid i did

One badass monitor

dusty robin May 17, 2020, 9:12 AM

Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone looking for a high performance competitive gaming monitor at a reasonable price after purchasing a Acer Nitro XF252Q I can say I'm thoroughly impressed. 240hz, 0.3ms response time, no motion blur, no ghosting, no inverse ghosting, amazing response time and no input latency with the built in ultra-low latency mode, official Freesync support, unofficial Gsync support (I can personally confirm works with no issues), very bright, perfect size for 1080p, small but sturdy base with full range adjustment, good colors for a TN, good viewing angles for a TN, built in black equalizer, Backlight Strobing if you prefer over Variable Refresh Rate, just literally everything you need for competitive at only $300.

i just think going over 75hertz is over board for an old gpu not the new rtx graphics cards

#

and its at a good price

#

the 2nd question id like to ask is about amd free sync i dont know what that is but i have a nvidia gpu

neon otter May 19, 2020, 11:08 AM

#

@finite niche you're right with no gpu upgrade planed going over 1080 and 75 wouldn't be the best investment

#

Some freesync monitors are gsync compatible others less so. Freesyc and gsync are variable refresh rate technology. This means the monitor could run at 60hz when it's being served enough frames but if it's too demanding and you have lower frames the monitor could adjust to say 30hz to match the lower frames in an attempt to provide a better visual experience

finite niche May 19, 2020, 11:52 AM

#

@neon otter so get it right sorry my english isnt to good um im only playing at 1080p and i think the gtx 980 ti strix can only go around the 75 hertz of what the monitor can do so get the monitor right? thank you for answering me so fast by the way

#

i mean the card gtx 980 ti strix can only pull around 70 fps in modern games like modern warfare and battlefield v in 1080p thats what im thinking but im not 100% sure so get the monitor right since it has 1ms and 75hertz capability?

basically i blew a compressor air to make the pc new but still was made in 2015 so thats already 5 years gone by the next 5 years it will be totally unplayable where as the monitor will keep going

they are Freesync, at least my two MAG272C monitors are, which i heard will still work w/ Gsync? other than that idk

actually I just found this:

How do I use G-Sync on a FreeSync monitor?
Open Nvidia Control Panel.
Got to “Display: Set up G-SYNC”
Check “Enable G-SYNC G-SYNC Compatible” and select your preferred options.
Select your monitor.
Check “Enable settings for the selected display model”
Apply settings.

visual pilot May 19, 2020, 10:42 PM

@maiden oasis I'm pretty sure you should enable Freesync in the monitor settings

maiden oasis May 19, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

@visual pilot even if you do enable the monitor's Freesync the card still needs to have the Gsync turned on for it to work, at least from what it looks like both have to be done

quick question im back lol um is it possible to play a game on a new product monitor from msi but at the same time dont turn on vsync gsync or free sync

#

and just get high frames with tearing

#

but the reason i ask is because im using a desktop so even though i dont have any type of sync it will still produce a playable game

#

instead of a laptop thats limited to not a huge heat sink on the cpu

neon otter May 20, 2020, 2:07 AM

sure you can disable any kind of sync if you want to and then you'll just run at whatever hrz the monitor is set to and have any issues you would expect from a miss-matched fps

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824475051

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

that’s very close hz with my current one i’m trying to make a step in both directions with hz and visuals

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

what

covert solstice May 21, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

@visual pilot 27x is expensive because it was one of the first 1440p 240hz monitors

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

ohhhhh

#

@covert solstice I was looking at the omen 27

#

not the x 27

#

@raven pelican what gpu you got

covert solstice May 21, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

yuh omen has a confusing product line

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

because you're not gonna run 240fps 1440p unless you got like a 2080 ti

#

@raven pelican TN panel is still inadvisable, 650$ is very damn high price for a monitor, and unless you can somehow utilize that 240hz well, not a good deal at all.

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

i have a 2080 super

#

also i play rl with all very low settings

#

i don’t want graphics for that game i want the hz but i want the 1440p for other games

#

i get over 800 fps currently on rl

#

@visual pilot

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

1440p will be a lot harder to run

#

and TN just looks bad

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

my current monitor is tn

#

what’s bad about it

#

@visual pilot

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

Looks bad

#

bad contrast

#

bad color

#

and iirc bad brightness

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

it has 90% color accuracy

#

also supports hdr so brightness shouldn’t be too bad

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

Realistically speaking

The Rudester#8147 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

most monitors right now are crap at HDR

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

I mean

#

a lot of monitors "support" hdr

#

and unless it has like hdr400 certification

#

it wont be good

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

^

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

my point was about the brightness not hdr in particular

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

I mean

#

I'm pretty sure my monitor says it supports hdr

#

but anyways

#

TN is just usually the worst color and contrast, that's known.

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

Wait what monitor do you have @raven pelican so I can accurately roast cough give you god opinion on it

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

i’ll send amazon link

#

@brave notch

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

what exactly arre you looking for in a new monitor

#

Cause I'll be real with you

#

244hz aint that great

#

Unless you're a pro fps player or something

#

I suggest 144 hz

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

i’m looking for the hz for rl

#

and then somewhat bette visuals while maintaining good fps in other games

#

@brave notch

#

rl is my fps

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

I don't think 244hz will help you that matchon games like rocket league

#

244 hz is literally for milisecond flick shots on CSGO or games like valorant where you need super fast reaction times

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

240hz is usually for fps games

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

There's a LTT video on it

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

eh

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

he did a whole research thing

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

esports and stuff you go 240hz 1080p most of the time

#

better looking game you go 1440p 144hz

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

you’d be suprised the difference fps makes in that game

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

not as much in non-fps games

#

I feel little difference in 60hz and 144hz on strategy games

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:19 AM

#

i don’t play strategy games

#

it’s either fps

#

or rocket league

#

sometimes plane games

#

or flight sims

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

mhm

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

So what have we concluded

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

youre chilling

#

if anything just upgrade to a 1440p monitor

#

or 4k if you're so inclide

#

inclined

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

But I'd rather not suggest that 240hz 1440p monitor

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

Here's mine

#

I'm super happy with it

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

with the TN downsides

#

and generally how expensive it is

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

if theres a 240hz 1440p IPS/VA monitor selling at like 600$, it's fine

#

but TN, nah

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

there was someone here who I recommended this monitor and bought it used and was like wait

#

and i haven't heard from him since

#

so I hope he was happy with his purchase lmao

#

@raven pelican I can vouch for the monitor I sent you

#

How can I vouch

#

I have three of them

#

🙂

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

lol

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

I really like Dell

#

And their monitors

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

I just like msi

#

mag272cqr

#

neat

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

the minimal branding and how sleek the monitor is, is dope

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

i just don’t see the issue with a rn panel

#

rn

#

rn

#

TN

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

tn

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

i’ve been using one for like 6 years

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

I mean if you're happy with it then stick to it

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

Strongly advised against

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

WE're just here to recommend you something

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

I mean I thought 60hz was good before I got my 144hz xD

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

then again i’ve never not seen a TN panel

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

At the end of the day, you can always buy the monitor and return it if you don't like it

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

especially with amazon

#

you got 30 days for any reason i think

#

if only i could see what different panels looked like rn

#

lol

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

just buy something

#

an test it out

#

I guarantee you'll like the difference

#

imo 1440 p and 4k aren't that much diffrence

#

and 4k gaming is lowkey a niche thing

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

i’m not doing 4k till you can get high fps on it lol

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

then 1440 p is chill

#

The monitor i linked is pretty good

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

i’ll look

#

but my 240 fps

#

lol

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

headass

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

hz*

#

why isn’t there more options of those

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

I'll still recommend the MSI MAG272cqr

#

because no one has wanted them yet lol

#

no real need for them

#

esports wise they're pushing for 360hz on 1080p

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

at the end of the day it's our opinion and I suggest just doing what makes you happiest

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

idk what will make happiest

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

I try to give whatever I believe is best in your situation while saving money

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

but i know i was better visuals for some games and better hz for rl

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

lol

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

not wasting money on 244 hz monitor

visual pilot May 21, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

Take a look at mag272cqr tho

raven pelican May 21, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

send link?

brave notch May 21, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

he sent it earlier
