Is a monitor from 2009 (Dell ST2410 1920x1080 60Hz, 5 ms) still useful in 2020 for gaming or is it like comparing a GPU from 2009 to 2020?

deep fern May 21, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

for gaming it's not the greatest but it's still something. gaming monitors today are usually 1080p 144hz 1ms

#

60hz works if that's what you got, but if you ever can afford high refresh it feels really good

olive token May 21, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

if it looks good, and plays good (to you) it's still viable

languid marlin May 21, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

I am definatly getting screen tearing that gets annoying with this monitor. That is why I am considering an upgrade. I'd like to see how a G-SYNC would be. Like most things, if I buy this then i should get that too. Better monitor, better GPU.

faint bay May 23, 2020, 1:34 AM

#

Anyone have a Asus Tuf vg249q and do you like it

#

Also is 240hz worth it over 144hz

wary plover May 23, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

If I have a 144Hz monitor and a 75Hz monitor connected to the same GPU I can run one at 144hz and the other at 75Hz right? The 144 won’t be locked at 75 because of the other one?

winged cipher May 23, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Each monitor should have its own graphics settings, so I believe the 144 wouldn't be locked

#

Ya, I have a two 165hz gsync compatible ones running at 165hz with gsync and an older 60 hz ultrawide. No issues. It will sometimes do some weird stuff with certain media if you have one high hz monitor and one lower, but most of that has been fixed at this point.

dusty robin May 23, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

So much misinformation in here about TN panels. TN doesn't always = bad brightness, contrast, or color. It just means not as good color or contrast when compared to IPS. I own a 240hz TN panel with 400 nit brightness and it really is bright as hell, the contrast seems very good, and the colors look great to me. If I sat it side by side with an IPS would I see the color difference? Of course, but that doesn't mean the colors are necessarily bad. And the whole 144hz-240hz isn't noticeable? I have one of each side by side. It isn't just noticeable, the difference is night and day.

covert solstice May 23, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

tn panels are getting closer to ips level colors, but overall have a worse color range and contrast compared to ips, and 144-240hz is noticeable to some, and not to others. if you play on 30 or 60hz, you probably wont tell the difference, but if you play competitively on 144hz, youll probably notice it

late hatch May 23, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

The biggest issue with TN's are the viewing angles. If you only have TN panels and you are not doing graphics work you most likely will be oblivious to the fact that something is different.

#

When I bought my first IPS monitor maybe 6 or 7 years ago I sat it next to my old TN Dell and thought something was wrong with the new IPS because the colors were so different. My brain had adjusted to the colors on the TN and that was normal to me.

deep fern May 23, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

Most people are looking at there monitors straight on so viewing angles isn’t always a big issue

If so, what are the visual differences between, say 1.4 and 2.0 if any ? If not, how can you find out which version they are ?
Or HDMI cables don't really have versions, and the only things that determine the versions are the input (GPU) / output (monitor) devices ? (as some seem to suggest)

its also a better vsync

sage trail Jun 6, 2020, 3:38 AM

also, the truth is you can almost never run 144hz consistently, as long as you have 0.1% lows under 144, G-Sync helps

I'd say it's a preference

So I recently moved from US to France and brought a couple monitors.

#

I noticed one of them (a Vizio E241-A1, which is basically a small TV) only says 110V on the back, unlike the others that say 110-220v.

#

I'm assuming it's not safe to even try plugging it in without a transformer?

deep fern Jun 6, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

if it only says 110V and the outlet is 220V then yes you need a transformer

hot zephyr Jun 6, 2020, 2:06 PM

Can't really sell a 110V device here either.

deep dust Jun 7, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

you dont really need 4k so long as you're not sitting like on top of the monitor (assuming its like 24"), and if you want to game a higher refresh rate is a lot more immersive than 4k 60hz

I wouldn't bother to pay the premium for it unless you play competitive FPS on a a high end rig

#

It's like the difference between UHD and QHD. 240Hz is the best, but it really isn't that much better than 120Hz. Law of diminishing returns. 120Hz is totally worth it over 60Hz, but I wouldn't pay extra for 240Hz, just like I wouldn't buy a 4k screen under 30"

#

So I've run into a problem trying to set one of my monitors to 75Hz.

visual pilot Jun 9, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

?

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

I'm using two ASUS monitors, one VP228 OC'd at 66Hz, and a VG245 at 75Hz.

#

When I change my refresh rate in the display adapter settings, my refresh rate on the monitor does indeed change to 75Hz.

📎 unknown.png

#

However, it introduces the problem of it fading to black for upwards to a second when clicking links in Chrome sometimes.

#

📎 VID_20200609_190329_LS.mp4

#

This doesn't happen if I set this monitor back to 60Hz, but I'd like to use its advertised 75Hz refresh rate.

#

Using HDMI on the 75Hz one (on the right, the one that flashes), and DVI on the 66Hz one, in case that matters.

honest gorge Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

thats really weird

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

yeah it is

honest gorge Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

does that happen in any other situations that you have noticed?

#

like a game or somthing

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

I don't really recall, no.

#

Haven't played a game. I'll try now.

honest gorge Jun 9, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Try playing a game, and like look around

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Am I looking for fade to black or..?

honest gorge Jun 9, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

well look around in the game, that will cause a lot of pixels to switch very fast, which i think may be what's causing the fade to black.

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

nope no fading

honest gorge Jun 9, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

hmmmm

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

It's only when I open a link in a new window on chrome, I think.

honest gorge Jun 9, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

well there goes my theory

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

golly I've missed hearing the AHiT soundtrack haha

#

Okay, did some more testing. It seems to happen when I'm loading a page that switches domains, like clicking on a youtube.com link from a google.com search.

honest gorge Jun 9, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

ok so that seems more like a software thing

#

try using a different browser

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

trying out firefox. no issues so far

#

Yeah it doesn't flash on firefox.

honest gorge Jun 9, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

Yeah, that's totally just chrome being dumb

#

try updating your browser or something

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

I'm on latest

📎 unknown.png

#

could try canary

wet thicket Jun 9, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

if you move the chrome window to the other monitor, without changing the 75hz one, does it still happen?

#

curious if it's just an edge case that crops up with 2 different refresh rates, regardless of which monitor chrome is currently on

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

it does not happen when chrome is on my 66Hz one

wet thicket Jun 9, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

hm

#

maybe try turning hardware acceleration off in chrome, just to see how it handles things? and is chrome the only app that it occurs in?

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

I haven't noticed it on any other app.

#

still happens with hw acceleration off

wet thicket Jun 9, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

that is really bizarre, my initial thought was something with either the app not liking different refresh rates, or the GPU being weird, but with HW accel off, that bypasses the gpu entirely

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

yeah

#

no idea :/

#

Don't really want to switch to Firefox but I might have to.

honest gorge Jun 9, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

My initial thought was a power draw issue with the monitor, but its definitely not a hardware issue.

#

Well, with the monitor at least

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

couldn't be a problem with my HDMI cable, could it?

honest gorge Jun 9, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

probobly not, considering it only happens with chrome

wet thicket Jun 9, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

yeah it definitely seems like a chrome issue, the question is why specifically and if there's a way to get around it without just changing refresh rate for that monitor

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

I will try canary in a bit.

tranquil tapir Jun 9, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

is the new asus tuf monitor worth it? its 240hz for 320$

solemn sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

Honestly I highly recommend Firefox. It's essentially chrome with better privacy and in some areas more features

drowsy ice Jun 9, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

Opera ftw.

solemn sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

Anything is better than microsoft edge I guess

wet thicket Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

edge is build on chromium now

#

so it's not awful anymore

solemn sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

ik

wet thicket Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

but it's still not graet

solemn sapphire Jun 9, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

But it's not good, yeah

#

Still holds the universal purpose that IE once held

#

Downloading a good browser

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

waaait a second

#

It doesn't happen on Chrome Guest mode

wet thicket Jun 9, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

could be a plugin, if you have them disabled in incognito

#

or extension, i think that's what chrome calls them

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

(Guest mode disables all extensions)

wet thicket Jun 9, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

you can re-enable them

#

but by default yeah, they're disabled

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

no

#

Incognito mode allows you to enable them

wet thicket Jun 9, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

oh guest mode

#

right

#

not your main profile

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

Guest mode specifically starts a clean chrome process.

wet thicket Jun 9, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

i was conflating the two

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

ye

#

That's a nice word. Conflating.

#

all of my extensions:

📎 unknown.png

#

removed most of them and turned off the rest, still flashing

📎 unknown.png

wet thicket Jun 9, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

hm

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

I'll clear my cookies and cache..

#

Still happening.

#

It doesn't happen on my other chrome user.

hot zephyr Jun 9, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

Fixed it!!

#

I just had to reset the theme.

honest gorge Jun 9, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

That is the weirdest bug

#

that is beyond odd

tranquil tapir Jun 9, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

best 240hz monitor?

covert solstice Jun 10, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

has anybody rma'd a pixio monitor

trail yew Jun 10, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

No, but I could imagine it would be a frustrating process

pseudo shell Jun 10, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

anyone know the best gaming monitors rn for about $200 ?

#

I have my eyes on some but they keep going on sale and back to original

#

price

hot zephyr Jun 10, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

Thinking of using a nice 77Hz crt monitor as a third display. Bit concerned about burn-in, tho, as I do use it for consoles sometimes. Any tips?

#

A screensaver won't really solve it because I often use a second monitor to leave a reference or smth on while I work on another monitor, so the screensaver won't activate since I'll be still using my PC. Also the taskbar doesn't move.

whole sorrel Jun 10, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

Animated background + no taskbar on that screen?

hot zephyr Jun 10, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

Can I disable the taskbar on only one screen?

whole sorrel Jun 10, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

Not sure, I think so though

hot zephyr Jun 10, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

hm

#

I can make it only show on my primary display.

#

But I do want the taskbar on both LCD displays, just not the CRT one.

whole sorrel Jun 10, 2020, 10:15 AM

#

Hmm

#

Maybe try just sliding the taskbar away on the crt

#

Or on any of the monitors

#

Just to see if it works

hot zephyr Jun 10, 2020, 10:18 AM

#

no luck :/

📎 unknown.png

#

woah that's not a great screenshot

#

leftmost is the CRT, I can't drag the taskbar at all

#

Oh I had Lock the taskbar on.

#

Now it lets me individually scale the taskbar on the y axis on each display, however I can only make it bigger it seems

whole sorrel Jun 10, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

Oops! All taskbar

#

https://media.tenor.com/images/0f145efe23cc9ecb1a34bfed42fc2599/tenor.gif

#

I guess you could...cycle between bottom taskbar and top taskbar? Lmao

#

Man

#

Someday all the CRTs will be dead and gone and that makes me sad :(

turbid star Jun 10, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

Just get one from the hospital

hot zephyr Jun 10, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

Seems to want to modify all taskbars at the same time.

whole sorrel Jun 10, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

F

hot zephyr Jun 10, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

Wonder if I could make a c++ program to like generate snow only on the CRT when I'm not using it.

#

Because you can get desktop snow programs that make little particles onscreen when you're not using it, but again they measure system-wide activity.

#

The problem is I'll be using my other displays while the CRT may be left on a static image.

whole sorrel Jun 10, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

Maybe turn it off every now and then

hot zephyr Jun 10, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

The CRT? Every 20 mins?

#

So what are some options to prevent burn-in on a CRT while still displaying the image?

#

Do I need to move pixels around, can I just shift hues, or what can I do, if I had control over the video signal that is sent to the CRT?

turbid star Jun 10, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

Play videos on it?

#

They'd have to be quite different, obviously

hot zephyr Jun 10, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

Was thinking of slowly inverting and de-inverting the colors, every 30 min or so, when the screen has no activity.

turbid star Jun 10, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

That'd probably work too

charred rain Jun 10, 2020, 12:38 PM

#

anybody know the best monitor for under 100$ for a RX 580?

hot zephyr Jun 10, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

What are you looking for specifically?

#

High refresh rate, resolution?

charred rain Jun 10, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

lmao just the best thing for gaming under 100

#

@hot zephyr

#

for a rx 580

hot zephyr Jun 10, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

Just 1080p@60Hz?

maiden oasis Jun 10, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

so question for you guys: I have two identical monitors, when i lock Windows or allow it to shut off screens while away when i come back to it the background is black instead of my chosen image and everything is suddenly on Monitor #2 instead of where they were before. I have gone in and uninstalled all of the grey items in Device Manager under Monitors and rebooted like suggested on numerous forums, I have tried playing around w/ the Power settings for Windows and nothing is helping. Any ideas other than not locking Windows or letting monitors go into standby?

First one TN

#

I like the looks of the second one in terms of specs

@visual pilot only thing is im pretty sure its price is wrong since every other monitor with its specs is around 50-60 more

So i am heavily debating between a https://www.newegg.com/black-asus-tuf-gaming-vg27aq-90lm0500-b013b0-27/p/N82E16824236987?Description=VG27AQ&cm_re=VG27AQ-_-24-236-987-_-Product or the https://www.newegg.com/dark-gray-red-asus-rog-strix-xg32vqr-90lm03s0-b021b0-31-5/p/N82E16824236973?Description=XG32VQR&cm_re=XG32VQR-_-24-236-973-_-Product if anyone has used or seen either and has a recommendation please let me know

visual pilot Jun 12, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

I would go with vg27aq, do be warned @upper burrow both of the monitors are only worth around 430$ msrp, not worth their current price

#

I know for sure vg27aq used to go for 430

#

not sure on xg32vqr

#

but 27inch is optimal for 1440p

upper burrow Jun 12, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

yea i know i've seen prices on other websites

#

just wouldn't let me use different links

visual pilot Jun 12, 2020, 12:11 AM

upper burrow Jun 12, 2020, 12:12 AM

im kinda just stuck at this point, other than those two nothing has really stuck out

this is a great monitor

ultrawide is meh unless for productivity or flight sim

@upper burrow get a 2nd screen and put it vertical it makes reading long code easier when you can make your ide taller. Since it’s for dev it doesn’t have to be anything special

upper burrow Jun 12, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

@toxic stag any you could recommend that would be on the cheaper side?

charred rain Jun 12, 2020, 12:52 PM

#

@upper burrow by cheaper side, wdym? budget

upper burrow Jun 12, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

Under 200$ and can go vertical. Will be using as a side monitor

#

This one would probably work ASUS VN279QL 27" Full HD 1920 x 1080 5ms (GTG) HDMI/MHL VGA DisplayPort Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free Built-in Speakers LCD Monitor https://www.newegg.com/product/N82E16824236362?m_ver=1

Might look for something cheaper though

toxic stag Jun 12, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

@upper burrow speakers just add to the price let me look around

#

https://www.newegg.com/benq-gl2780-27-full-hd/p/N82E16824014656?&quicklink=true is really close to the monitor I have. I have the 2560x1440 version.

https://www.newegg.com/p/0JC-0004-00BV7?Description=dell 144hz&cm_re=dell_144hz-_-9SIACYNAG11981-_-Product @upper burrow If you can find this one new instead of refurbished then It would be an excellent monitor for code. Also finding this in stock would be a plus. I use this one to game on and found the colors to be bad at first but, I've gotten them right since then.

#

which panel is best for gaming ?

visual pilot Jun 13, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

The other specs usually matter more than just the panel

#

Higher refresh rate, the better
Lower response time, the better

#

Usually TN panels are cheaper for higher refresh rates and lower response times, but the coloring is bad

#

IPS panels have the best color, VA in the middle

polar yacht Jun 13, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

well then which one would be best for value ?

#

was going with $200 budget

visual pilot Jun 13, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

eh you can find some 144hz VA panels at like 160-180 range

polar yacht Jun 13, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

sounds like IPS

visual pilot Jun 13, 2020, 10:37 PM

IPS usually most expensive

If you have a local phone repair place they might be able to replace the glass on it, they may have to order some larger glass but I would think that would be the best bet on trying to get it fixed

tall drum Jun 14, 2020, 11:08 PM

#

I contacted a pc repair shop locally and they said that they usually just buy a similar pc with other issues and then just use the undamaged screen but that it would be cheaper to just buy a new one.

toxic stag Jun 14, 2020, 11:09 PM

#

Yeah but a phone repair place specializes in replacing the glass on screens so they might be able to just do the glass, it doesn't hurt to call and see otherwise what about a sending it back to LG for a repair?

Hey folks, question for ya'll, I'm contemplating picking out a new monitor. I have a 24'' one that I use, but I think I can benefit from a bigger 2K monitor.

I have seen a lot of types of panels out there, and I think IPS is the best, but I'm not sure. I play mostly slow paced, RPG games, not FPS. The fastest action would be LOL, so there you go.

I am also looking at some 4K TVs and there are some good options there too, just not sure your experience with any particular good models.

Any ideas are awesome

visual pilot Jun 16, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

Yea

sage trail Jun 16, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

any 144hz and up panel is like 5 at max

visual pilot Jun 16, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

It's usually just 1ms vs 4ms

sage trail Jun 16, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

yeah, and your mouse has more latency than that

#

so its kinda just a marketing term now imo

visual pilot Jun 16, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

Welllll

#

Depends on your mouse

sage trail Jun 16, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

rtings has a list

#

the lowest they have on their site is like 6ms from the 100+ dollar razer mice

visual pilot Jun 16, 2020, 5:35 AM

#

Ohh you're talking click latency..? @sage trail

sage trail Jun 16, 2020, 5:35 AM

#

yeh

visual pilot Jun 16, 2020, 5:35 AM

#

Because 1000hz pooling rate means 1ms latency for movements afaik

sage trail Jun 16, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

hmmmm

#

that would be tru

visual pilot Jun 16, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

Also monitor response time you add on to mouse latency to see it

#

So like you click, 10ms mouse latency, 10ms monitor latency til you see it

#

While its basically small enough to ignore normally, comp you can notice it

sage trail Jun 16, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

still, if your looking for a good monitor today, the g2g latency shouldnt be factored in, because if you could save 20 bux by getting a 4ms monitor, you should

#

also im gonna be honest, i can pick up input lag like a madman, my 14ms monitor was literally unnoticable

visual pilot Jun 16, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

@sage trail was it 14ms g2g or color tho

#

Tho 14ms color is really good

#

Iirc

sage trail Jun 16, 2020, 5:43 AM

#

oh

#

that was color

#

hol up

#

oh, welp, gtg is 4ms LMAO

#

so

#

crap

#

now i dont know what 14 ms g2g is really like

visual pilot Jun 16, 2020, 5:44 AM

#

Lolololol

brave cipher Jun 16, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

what monitor to recommend, im using a samsung 49 crg90 but lots of flicker in gysnc since its not certified compatible.. kind of hard to decide on realistate loss.. ive got up to 1289 to spend

#

because can return

mossy fjord Jun 16, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

Is this monitor just 144hz and I can choose to overclock it to 165hz? https://www.newegg.ca/black-asus-vg248qg-90lmgg901q022eul-24/p/N82E16824236978

I need help from someone because I just got a new monitor and idk what's wrong with it and i cant really explain it so i need someone to get on call with me and help me out

buoyant prism Jun 17, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

Is there issues running a high refresh monitor at lower refresh rates (for example I plug in a console)?

sage trail Jun 17, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

no

#

the monitor will run at 144hz, but just display whatever the console is ready to output

#

i think the ps4 and xbox one detect it as 144hz, but the game itself will probably only hit like 70-80fps

burnt arrow Jun 17, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

I'm looking for a monitor to pair with my 5700xt. Any recommendations?

#

Preferably 27 inches plus

rare onyx Jun 17, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

What does "HBR3" mean as far as monitors go?

neon otter Jun 17, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

High bit rate 3 is a display port 1.3 thing

hidden solstice Jun 17, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

@burnt arrow google the 1440p pixio px278 monitor.

#

Its brand new, I run a 5700 xt myself and I love it.

#

144hz at 1440p for about 300$

echo acorn Jun 17, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

hey @hidden solstice do you play game with your rx 5700 xt on a 1440p monitors ? if yes do you run them smoothly ? and in high resolution ?

#

i cant decide myself if i should get a 1440 or a 1080 ( I will run a i5 9600kf with a rx5700 xt 16g of ram

#

thx

hidden solstice Jun 17, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

@echo acorn I run the games at 1440p and a 5700xt for reference I run all games I've played on well over 60 fps. I've got a 5700xt , ryzen 9 3900x, and 32gb of 3000mhz ram too tho

#

So idk if those things would play a huge factor but my GPU handles even brand new games like jedi fallen order at 80 fps on 1440p

#

I intend to upgrade when the new Rdna2 comes out ONLY if they come with ray tracing.

echo acorn Jun 17, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

ok thank you

native fable Jun 17, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

Is it better to have your main monitor on display port or just regular hdmi?

tired geyser Jun 17, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

Dp is better

deep fern Jun 17, 2020, 10:57 PM

#

most of the time dp is better for desktop ya

native fable Jun 17, 2020, 10:59 PM

ok thanks

Trying to decide between the asus tuf vg259qm vs alienware aw2521hf? Any opinions?

Why does my garbage 1600x900 monitor at 60hz start ghosting when I cap my game at 60 hz

worldly hare Jun 18, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

What is the best monitor I can get for under 110$? I will be using it as my second monitor and it will be vertical mounted

quartz heron Jun 18, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

is there a release date for the 360hz monitor?

solemn sapphire Jun 18, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

Not sure why you would want that. At that point it's getting to where you probably won't notice it from 240Hz.

deep fern Jun 18, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

but GAMERS NEED SPEED

#

if the response times are good it could be a good competitive esports thing. not everyone will see the difference but some will benefit probably

solemn sapphire Jun 18, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

I get that for 240Hz, but still...

deep fern Jun 18, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

no one needs it tho

#

240hz or even 144hz is plenty for nearly everyone

sage trail Jun 18, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

i want to try the 360hz monitor

#

it had better be smaller than 24 inches tho

lucid flax Jun 18, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

I know what monitor I want, I just have to wait for it to restock... why did everything have to go bananas when I wanted to replace my laptop?

stoic trench Jun 18, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

Just ordered an Eve Monitor, 1440p 144hz 1ms gtg for $299. Should ship in early 2021. That’s the only downside

trail yew Jun 18, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

I did some tinkering with my monitor and my opinion is that 144hz to 240hz is slight, but noticeable. 240hz to 280hz starts to get a little nauseating lol

lucid flax Jun 18, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

I don't think I want to even bother going above 144 hz. I'm nearsighted enough I probably wouldn't be able to notice anyway.

deep fern Jun 18, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

The difference between 60 to 144 is much bigger than 144 to 240, to me it is a noticeable difference but I can not speak for everyone there

trail yew Jun 18, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

I played on 60 for like 4 years. It's not even a competition with 144hz lol

opaque sedge Jun 19, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

anyone know of a cheap 27" 60hz gaming monitor

rare onyx Jun 19, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

i know someone mentioned something above but if anyone here could give me an actual in depth description as to the benefit of using display port 1.3 over 1.4, i'd appreciate the life out of you

#

If cost isn't a factor, does paying 100 extra dollars for that make any sense?

Look there for the diference. I would post it here but dyno is up to its false duplication detection again

rare onyx Jun 19, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

I sort of get what it's saying...like...tldr, i'll get more frames at 2k using a hbr3 connection than a standard 1.3?

#

@solemn sapphire I'm only 50% literate to monitor specs

solemn sapphire Jun 19, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

Basically, 1.3 is perfectly fine unless you are getting above 3840 × 2160 at 120 Hz with 24 bit/px RGB color

rare onyx Jun 19, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

For instance AORUS FI27Q comes in a "hbr3" and "non-hbr3" version

solemn sapphire Jun 19, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

Lowkey don't know what that is, but it says in the articale that 1.3 supports it

rare onyx Jun 19, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

its pretty hard to find info on it tbh

#

Looks like im supposed to go with a LG27GL850

pseudo sparrow Jun 19, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

Heya

#

I'm in the market for a good monitor, with a budget of $300

#

It would be used for my computer/hdmi console connections

#

Anyone have good recommendations?

solemn sapphire Jun 19, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

Resolution, refresh rate?

pseudo sparrow Jun 19, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

All of that is debatable, at least 1080 (obviously), 4k preferably but I can settle for 1440

#

Going purely off recommendations and then research

solemn sapphire Jun 19, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

What is your rig?

#

You don't want to be running UHD on a 1050

pseudo sparrow Jun 19, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

I agree haha

#

For me I have a 1060 6gb v ram

#

However I would also use this for console gaming

#

Would it be wise to get a 1080 with like 120 hz/75 and decent size?

pseudo sparrow Jun 19, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

@solemn sapphire

#

I think a 1080 would be best would you have recommendations? :0

sage trail Jun 19, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

a 1080p 144hz monitor would do fine

#

a 1060 6gb could hit 144fps in quite a few games

#

graphics settings adjusted appropriately, of course

solemn sapphire Jun 19, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

Yeah, I'd second that. You could do 1440p with lower settings, but you'd be best at 1080 if you like higher settings and/or higher refresh. I would look for a 144Hz display. I prefer IPS for its color, but if you value response time and cheaper prices tn might be a good option. I'd do a little research into panel types before purchase. I don't have a lot of insight into which is the best to buy besides specs tho

with some rgb on the back

#

1080p 1ms

is msi g241 optix good?

Yup

buoyant prism Jun 19, 2020, 5:01 AM

Yeah I was thinking between the alienware aw2521 and the tuf vg259qm, but so hard to pick since there seems to be lack of reviews on it, but there are reviews on the 27 inch model

#

for the tuf one

maiden wedge Jun 19, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

what would be a good monitor to buy if i am looking to get 1440p resolution, 144 mhz+, g-sync, 1 ms response time, usb hub, and vesa mount compatible for $650 or less US

#

or i guess, what would be some good options

#

currently using a scepter x270w so making a fairly large upgrade

visual pilot Jun 19, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

Mag272cqr on the cheap end

#

Gigabyte fi27q on the higher end

#

(400$/500$)

maiden wedge Jun 19, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

there much of a difference between the fi27q and the fi27q-p?

visual pilot Jun 19, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

Should be basically the same

How about this for a curved monitor that's 1080p and 144 hz

brave cipher Jun 19, 2020, 4:48 PM

so anyone getting the samsung oddessy g9?

#

i just need alittle more money lol 1699 isnt cheap lol

#

g7's variants are 27 inch and 32inch 240hz 1ms hdr 600 curved 2560x1440 , the g9 is 49 inch 240hz 1ms hdr1000 5120x1440 they are all freesync and gsync compatable

#

$699,799,1699 price sku

sage trail Jun 19, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

what are you doing with such a monitor?

brave cipher Jun 19, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

49 inch, can have like 3 almost 4 webpages up, good for mulitmedia, and the aspect ration of 32x9 is amazing peripheral view

#

i had both chg90 and crg90 but no gsync compatable so flickering.. it was amazing to use.. division 2, destiny 2, online mmo's star citizen.. just that extra realistate is awesome

#

minus the flickering (flashing backlight) but these new ones are certified by nvidia to be compatible.. and other games like fortnite or pubg would be handy id assume seeing more range to left and right

sage trail Jun 19, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

so i assume you dont want to get the g7, because thats just 16:9

brave cipher Jun 19, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

i returned the one i had so just gotta gather up some more money, they come out end of month for g7 variants and g9 early next month.. unless ordered through samsung directly.. people in korea got them arleady obviously since they r right there

#

hmm i think its 21x9 lemme look

sage trail Jun 19, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

2560x1440 is 16:9

#

thats just standard 1440p

brave cipher Jun 19, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

yea the g7 i see what you mean, but for the performance is nice, the g9 though gonna be amazing, and 1000r curve

sage trail Jun 19, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

so the g7s are overpriced

brave cipher Jun 19, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

well where else you gonna get 240hz
