old-monitors-and-tv

[patent lagoon]

That's not the point Lmao

[magic lotus]

Its the one thats not available rn

[patent lagoon]

He's talking about how it actually looks

[magic lotus]

?

[patent lagoon]

It'll look a lot sharper

Just a better experience imo

[magic lotus]

Ehh

Ima use it for a triple monitor

Thats why im looking for 27'

Tbh i dont really no much of monitors

[patent lagoon]

Uhhh

Just know 24" is optimal for 1920x1080

And 2k for 27"-34" at most

After that just look into TVs

[magic lotus]

So like you mean a 24' inch is good for gaming and it will have better view

[patent lagoon]

Wym view Lmao

[magic lotus]

idk

[patent lagoon]

Just easier on my eyes

Looks nice and sharp

[magic lotus]

welp unless if it looks good in a triple monitor setup

[patent lagoon]

And the monitor isn't too big to where I can't even view the corners without actually tilting my head

[magic lotus]

Just about when you said that

I was gonan send this

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1345182-REG/samsung_c49hg90dmn_49_curved_va_panel.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvIT5BRCqARIsAAwwD-TX62cOKtbeRhMUJ9IVRK-j1YIcjE7hKOA9RtmD0Zif_JbXCkYo0EsaAhVAEALw_wcB

[patent lagoon]

Huh??

Idk if your card can even run that we'll

*well

Or you're just sending just bc I said TV

[magic lotus]

?

[patent lagoon]

Why'd you link that big monitor for

[magic lotus]

Idk

Is this one a good one https://www.newegg.com/p/0JC-004Y-00031

Or this

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824736004

[patent lagoon]

Your card can barely run 2k

Depending on what you play of course

Or its just gonna blow up on you

[magic lotus]

Huh

So the card I got cant even run 2k?

[patent lagoon]

Not super well I don't think

It's also dependent on what you play

[magic lotus]

So I wasted 700 on a useless card?

[patent lagoon]

You spend $700 on a last gen card??

Bro

That might be the biggest L I have ever seen

[magic lotus]

Huh

All my friends have it

Wheres newegg return center

[patent lagoon]

It's last gen bro

Jeez

You got played

My card outperforms it for $400 less

Brooo

Return it and get something better if you can

My goodness

[magic lotus]

Like which card

Should I get

[patent lagoon]

2080 super

[magic lotus]

A asus rog strix rx5800

[patent lagoon]

Jeez bro

[magic lotus]

BRU

[patent lagoon]

That doesn't exist

[magic lotus]

I forgot that name of the card

But I dont even got that much money

For a 2080 super

[patent lagoon]

Then how did you spend $700 on a last gen card

[magic lotus]

Because I had the money there

Now I'm all out

[patent lagoon]

Can you return it?

[magic lotus]

Idk

Its been

Like

I dont even remember

But like

[patent lagoon]

Ya

[magic lotus]

If you say that it doesnt work well of a 2k monitor

[patent lagoon]

It won't

[magic lotus]

The monitor I'm using rn its

[patent lagoon]

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-RX-580-vs-AMD-RX-5600-XT/3923vs4062

[magic lotus]

A 2k 32'

[patent lagoon]

Here's my card vs ur card

[magic lotus]

And it works perfect

[patent lagoon]

And I'm mid range in 2k

Ya but are all the games you play actually running in 2k

And at what settings

I'm actually in pain rn

[magic lotus]

Yeah

Ultra

[patent lagoon]

How many frames brother

[magic lotus]

Like 180fps

[patent lagoon]

But what games you playin

[magic lotus]

Warzone

Gta

Beam ng

Flight simulator

Pcbuild something like tht

Minecraft

And it's not even slow

[patent lagoon]

Ig that card goes crazy then

[magic lotus]

Huh

[patent lagoon]

For it being last gen I didn't know there were rx580s that were like that

[magic lotus]

Well if it was last gen

ItS been working fine for me

I've even watched YouTube videos 4k

[patent lagoon]

Your monitor is only 2k tho lul

[magic lotus]

So why does it let me watch 4k videos

[patent lagoon]

It's just a setting on YouTube

[magic lotus]

K

[patent lagoon]

I'm not entirely sure how it works

[magic lotus]

k

[patent lagoon]

But uhh

[magic lotus]

Welp my graphics works fine

[patent lagoon]

Ig get whatever monitor you want then

[magic lotus]

K

[patent lagoon]

1440p 144hz

What's ur budget

[magic lotus]

400down

[patent lagoon]

Okay

And you still want 32"?

[magic lotus]

Change my mind 285$ down

Yeah

32'

At least more then 165' to 140' he and curved maybe

Gaming

Asus

[patent lagoon]

Lmao not sure if it's possible

I can't think of any under $300

[magic lotus]

Welp 400 then

Ive seen some like 165HZ 32' curved gaming ready

Under 285

$

[patent lagoon]

Where

[shy plover]

AOC on amazon

[magic lotus]

Walmart and amazon

[patent lagoon]

Aoc has a 32"?

I've seen their ultrawide but never a 32"

[shy plover]

yeah for around 230

but 1080 144hz tho

you want 1440p right?

[patent lagoon]

Ya

That's what the man with the beefy gpu needs

Wait

Found one

VIOTEK GN32DA 32-Inch WQHD Curved Gaming Monitor | Cinema-Quality 1440p 144Hz 4ms w/AMD FreeSync & FPS/RTS | HDMI DVI DP 3.5mm | Fully Adjustable Stand (VESA) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X1LCMLS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CXHiFb0TKXTCZ

[patent lagoon]

That's 1080p bruh

Like I said not possible

[magic lotus]

OOH

I didnt even saw

[patent lagoon]

Ya

[silk vigil]

For it being last gen I didn't know there were rx580s that were like that
@patent lagoon yea I’ve got a rx580 and it’s pretty good with any game it doesn’t get 100fps on ultra settings but it’s a good card.

I’ve got a monitor 27” 165 hertz 1440 with an i7 7700 rx580 and it does pretty good I play gta on medium and get around 60fps to 40 on fiveM.

[patent lagoon]

Ya but pushing the specs he listed tho

Kinda crazy ngl

But still could've got a better card for that price tbh

[silk vigil]

Yea mine was a cyber power pre built 2 1/2 years ago for my 11 year old Christmas lol

[willow thorn]

The votex monitor doesn’t ship to my location. I was thinking of getting a ultra wide spectre monitor but it’s only 85hz

[magic lotus]

Welp that graphics card I got does pretty good

Tbh

Idk why it should be last gen

[silver wyvern]

the RX580 is from 2017 and was $229 NEW -- you can get them new now for $150 -- performance similar to a OC'ed RX480 from 2016

[lilac ivy]

Interested in new monitor and would like either a 27" 144hz or an Ultrawide. May be a stupid question, but I have a very high ping in games, for example often 140+ms in COD:MW. So how important is 1ms GtG when have such high ping?

[covert solstice]

gtg is how fast a monitor can change colors

[lilac ivy]

I understand that, but saying is it worth pushing for a 1ms over a 4ms etc?

[patent lagoon]

Well they're kinda two different things

[visual pilot]

Monitor advertising is stupid

The response time is not accurate at all @lilac ivy

As long as the g2g/mprt are in the ballpark of like 1ms/4ms, doesn't matter.

[lilac ivy]

That’s what I was gathering. So for a competitive person but not tournament level play, what would y’all suggest for a 27” or 34” UW that will perform well?

[visual pilot]

Don't go uw for comp is my opinion

Could go for a 27in 240hz 1080p monitor

A good amount of those around

[lilac ivy]

Meaning I’m a competitive person but don’t play competitive level.

[visual pilot]

Mhm

Games don't scale nicely with uw for FPS and such from what I've gathered

[lilac ivy]

Thought the extra FOV for FPS was the draw on UW. If go 1440p is there a considerable difference in 100hz and 144hz?

[visual pilot]

A good bit yea

Barely any monitors are 100hz

[lilac ivy]

Some of the budget UWs are which is why I was wondering.

[maiden wedge]

Any good 1080p 120-144 hz monitor? Preferably 27-28"

[left breach]

I have a 24” acer 144 curved.

I think when you hit over 26” they go to 1440p

[willow hemlock]

excuse me

32 inch 1080p gang

[covert solstice]

please leave

my 1440p is only 27" :v thats a sin

[willow hemlock]

its not even a widescreen

just a regular 144hz 32inch gaming monitor :))

[maiden wedge]

yo
i have such a weird issue
i just replaced my rtx 2070 super.. running it with z490 and i7 10th gen
cause it was Coil Whining
its still Coil Whining but only when I turn off one monitor it's so weird

[brave cipher]

So there are more 32 inch g7 in stock should I test my luck exchanging to see if get golden unit that doesnt have gsync flicker or send mine into samsung. Already exchanged once

[cinder sleet]

Is the curvature too much?

I’m looking at that 32 g7 too, but I’m worried about distortion at 1000R

Plus, G-Sync ultimate is a thing now, I’m guessing it will be a big difference versus ordinary gsync

[brave cipher]

No curve isnt bad you gotta definitely have it centered, gsync brightness flickers in pendulum demo n some games though

[maiden wedge]

im looking into upgrading my old clunky monitor. are there any recommendations for a 1080p144 monitor that's around 26, 27" and doesn't cost like over 250?

[patent lagoon]

@maiden wedge why so big?

[maiden wedge]

wait 26 is wrong

around 24 is fine i think

i thihnk that's the standard for 1080?

[maiden wedge]

I want one similar to that as well

@maiden wedge I think AOC 24G2

[stiff birch]

any recommendations for a 24 inch 1440p 144hz monitor?

[sage trail]

Those are like 500 dollars

If you want 1440p 144hz, it has to be 27"

[stiff birch]

Why 27” @sage trail

And then are there any recommendations for 27” 1440p 144Hz monitors? Like low input response time is very preferred. Something that’s not like super washed out/a lot of ghosting either. Idk how to look up a monitor up to this standard either because I can’t see it in person but have any of you used a 1440p 144hz monitor for gaming that you really liked?

[fringe ridge]

Have u guys seen the 49 in 5K curved Samsung monitor

Mkbhd did a video on it

https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/49--odyssey-g9-gaming-monitor-lc49g95tssnxza/

240hz 1ms delay 1000r curvature

$1700

[covert solstice]

the g9?

[sage trail]

G9 is old news lmao

@stiff birch why not 1080p 144hz? That way you can get a 24" monitor and have it be way cheaper

[stiff birch]

@sage trail for some reason I get lower FPS with 1080p than I do with 1440p DSR

[sage trail]

Besides, if your trying to hit a consistent 144hz, you are already planning to sacrifice game quality for performance

That's not how computers work...

[stiff birch]

I’ll show you hold on

[sage trail]

Your testing methods are insufficient

I don't need to see it, trust me, it's something else

[stiff birch]

In gta 5 on the same settings except at 1440p my FPS is a solid 90-100

[sage trail]

What are the specs of your machine, and what are you trying to use the monitor for?

[stiff birch]

Whereas 1080p my FPS dips to 60

I’m trying to play csgo and other games

[sage trail]

Mostly fps games?

[stiff birch]

No

I play Minecraft, Gta, CSGO, rocket league, Celeste, portal

Many genres of games

[wary plover]

Portal gang

[stiff birch]

I have a 3800x and a 2080 super

[sage trail]

Oh I see

[stiff birch]

In gta 5 at 1080p my GPU only has like 60% utilisation

But at 1440p it’s like 90%

[sage trail]

So, 24" 1440p 144hz monitors are stupid expensive

[stiff birch]

If I could make it 90% or more at 1080p that’s be perfect

[sage trail]

So your stuck with 1440p 27" or 1080p 24"

[stiff birch]

Okay that makes sense

But is the 60% utilisation at 1080p normal?

[sage trail]

The true metric we care about is pixel density

The pixel density of those types of monitors is very similar

So it's all really about physical size preference. Would you prefer a larger monitor?

[stiff birch]

Size doesn’t matter I just don’t want it to be super pixelated from up close

[sage trail]

How far is the monitor from your face about?

[stiff birch]

Like a foot and a half

[sage trail]

I would definitely suggest 24"

[stiff birch]

Okay

Honestly though if the issue of the 60% utilisation at 1080p can be fixed I don’t mind a 144hz 1080p monitor

[sage trail]

Don't worry about GPU utilization

It will do what it needs to do

[stiff birch]

But that’s why my frames are lower on 1080p

[sage trail]

No, it isnt

[stiff birch]

Is it because gta 5 is just an unoptimised game

[sage trail]

Don't worry about it, there's nothing you can do

It's an issue we can fix later

[stiff birch]

Okay

[sage trail]

1440p will not give you better fps, that's not how physics work

[stiff birch]

So 1080p 144hz at 24 inches is better?

[sage trail]

So for now, I'm suggesting a 24" 1080p @ 144hz, because I think that would be idea for you, and your system will allow you to hit a consistent 144hz in games

The pixel density is similar to a 1440p 27" panel

[stiff birch]

There isn’t a huge difference between 1440p and 1080p at that size is there right?

[sage trail]

Nope, unless your getting a 24" 1440p panel

Which is usually limited to 60hz

[stiff birch]

Okay I see

This is very helpful

I have a 60 Hz monitor right now and it’s kind of trashy

[sage trail]

I have a 21.5" 1080p 144hz monitor I use, and I love it

I paid like 140 for it

[stiff birch]

Would you recommend a GSync monitor

Should I even go 24 inches? Or maybe smaller?

[sage trail]

Most freesync monitors are gsync compatible

Most monitors are 24 or 27, it's kinda hard to find other sizes

[stiff birch]

Okay I understand

Thank you so much for the insight. I’ll head my research over to 1080p monitors at 24 inches now instead and I’ll probably come back later if I have more questions, but thanks again!

[sage trail]

Np

[timber lynx]

lg 27gl850 vs lg 27gl83a or any other recommends for a 1440p monitor ?

[patent lagoon]

What size

@timber lynx

[timber lynx]

27”

[patent lagoon]

Aoc cq27 g2

Uhh

Samsung has a couple

[brave cipher]

so after 4 samsung odyssey g7 32 inch im pretty sure they all have gsync flicker issues

maybe not so much the 27inch

[stiff birch]

Which 24 inch 144hz 1080p monitor would you recommend? AOC 24G2 or The BenQ Zowie xl2411P

Or some other?

[patent lagoon]

@stiff birch you could get a couple cheaper options from sceptre

[mint brook]

Can a gync display work for freesync too?

[quaint mist]

Hello hello. I haven't been here on the Newegg discord in quite some time. I'm looking to find a 144hz (or more, but adjustable to 144) 1440 or 4k monitor for $250-375

I'm also looking for it to be Gsync compatible as i'm looking to purchase a 2060 super ASUS or EVGA GPU in the future. (currently I have the 970 strix and I need an upgrade!)

@mint brook you can find a list of the monitors on the website, i'll link you via DM

I'm looking for anywhere between 24-29 inches (do they even make 29s?"

[copper swan]

The best monitor I know of is LG 27GL83A-B

27” IPS panel

[quaint mist]

Is it bluelight resistant? I'll go take a look

[copper swan]

Hmmmm I don’t remember but I think I remember seeing an Asus 165 hz 1440p monitor that is I’ll look into it

[quaint mist]

Appreciated. I have epilepsy. i'm on an old AOC monitor and it's like 60 hz and i see lots of flicker when my PC has been in rest mode and I boot it back up

[copper swan]

Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27 advertises “eye care” but it’s outside the budget you listed it’s like $429 but I’m pretty sure it has less vibrant colors but a better contrast for playing in dark environments

[quaint mist]

I was told a family member could help me throw in $100, plus sales should be around the corner.

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-E2252SWDN-22-LED-Monitor/dp/B00L1FLM32 this is the old monster i'm still using lmao

on an i5-3570k -- I just picked up a Ryzen 5 3600X not too long ago and plan to switch to AMD

[copper swan]

Would motion blur effect anything? The article I’m reading says something about more subtle contrast and motion interpolation play a factor too

[quaint mist]

i'm looking for 1ms delay if that's what you mean?

"flicker free"

and blue light resistant. I don't care if there are speakers or LED in the monitor.

backlit is always nice though.

[copper swan]

The asus one is 1ms but it’s advertises something about “extreme low motion blur sync, eye care”

[quaint mist]

I've been looking at Viewsonic, Lenovo, and I think it was MSI

Optix-G32CQ4 looks alright?

[deep fern]

Input lag and response time are 2 different things, in addition the rated response time is usually the minimum response time, in reality it can be higher more around 4-6ms average. Extreme low motion blur(elmb/ulmb/etc) strobes the backlight to help with motion blur which is caused by response time, but sometimes doesn’t work at the max refresh of monitor or with adaptive sync turned on(this depends on the panel). I don’t recall that I have seen a 1ms input lag monitor yet but who knows

[stiff birch]

anyone have a recommendation for a 1080p 144hz 24inch monitor? I use it for gaming so low input lag will be nice but also good color accuracy and not washed out. I don't need a super budgety monitor but I don't want it too overpriced either. Is the AOC 24g2 a good monitor? Or the BenQ Zowie?

[visual pilot]

MSI g241

[maiden wedge]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012016

@covert solstice would this be a good monitor?

[patent lagoon]

@maiden wedge no

Wayyy overpriced

[maiden wedge]

i got an HP w2207 in a box of free electronics and its really nice

yt thinks it can do 8k can it?

[maiden wedge]

I need a good 1080p 144hz monitor with one dp and either 1 or 2 hdmi's

27-30 inches

[patent lagoon]

27" at 1080p

@maiden wedge 24" is ideal

Cuz it's nice and crisp

[quaint mist]

What's the best 1440 gaming monitor with adjustable hz (preferrably 144) on the market for under 300?

2 HDMI preferred.

ok lets be realistic, under 400.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YGZL8XF?tag=amazondn01-20 this looks pretty alright in my opinion, but you guys are the pros.

[patent lagoon]

Bruh

You need a curve or nah?

Adaptive sync?

FreeSync?

G-sync?

@quaint mist

[quaint mist]

FS/Gsync compatible

sorry i was afk eating some ribs

[patent lagoon]

So adaptive

Yummy

[quaint mist]

Pork

[patent lagoon]

Try aoc cq27 g2

I got mine for $260

With all those specs

[quaint mist]

I'm on an old AOC 60 hz and i'm not really a fan of em anymore since this ol boi has some bad flicker

but i'll look

[patent lagoon]

Nah

This is crispy

[quaint mist]

OOOH

ooh and MAYBE some blue light resistance

[patent lagoon]

Yessir

And the VA panel not too shabby for 1ms response time

[quaint mist]

Eeeh looking for IPS

[patent lagoon]

Thought so

[quaint mist]

Aye.

[patent lagoon]

It doesn't look bad tho

I came from an ips

And that was my biggest problem

[quaint mist]

Acer Predator XB271HU is pretty alright

looks*

[patent lagoon]

But the panel doesn't look bad at allll

You need a curve or nah?

[quaint mist]

Naw. but one wouldn't hurt

anything 25-27 inches with a curve

24-27 my mistake

[patent lagoon]

I'd go 27" for 1440p imo

Well if you wanna give an VA panel a chance then that aoc is the way to go

Cause a lot of the ips with the rest of the specs are simply wayy too over budget for me

So I had to settle

And I don't regret it either

[quaint mist]

I think 500 is top.

fam member said they could throw in $100

• hopeful stimulus

Ooh!

https://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-XG270QC-Curved-Monitor-FreeSync/dp/B07VKPWYQ5?ref_=ast_sto_dp

check that bad boy out

[patent lagoon]

For $450

Id go with that

[quaint mist]

Do any come with out of box calibration

Also I'll check this out for any more suggestions after my nap :)

[charred rain]

@quaint mist wdym

"calibration"

litterally everymonitor i've used is plugin and use

[magic lotus]

Is 1ms good then 4ms

[left breach]

Depends if you play on competitive level or not

If not it won’t make much of a difference.

[covert solstice]

expensive ones designed for professional use (creating photos or video stuff) have to be calibrated really well, most dont come calibrated but you can just check something like rtings.com and copy their calibration for the monitor

[quaint mist]

Good to know about displays

AORUS FI27Q looks like a nice monitor but I've never known Aorus to make monitors.

ViewSonic ELITE XG270QG looks nice too.

[sage nacelle]

any recommendations for a ~100 monitor

[left breach]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GLm323/acer-sb220q-bi-215-1920x1080-75-hz-monitor-sb220q-bi

@sage nacelle 4MS response time IPS panel 21.5 inches 1080p 75hz refresh rate under $100

[sage nacelle]

perfect, thank you!

[left breach]

No problem.

[sage nacelle]

might even get 2 if they’re only 90 haha

[left breach]

I mean you could. They aren’t curved though if that’s your thing

[sage nacelle]

nah i don’t need curved

just put 3 in a _/ shape

\ _ /

[left breach]

Yeah.

[serene scroll]

Any recommendations for a 240hz monitor

[quaint mist]

Probably getting a ViewSonic ELITE XG270QC

(wasn't talking to you, @serene scroll -- was just making a post)

[versed bridge]

Usually if you want a monitor to come with calibration, you'll have to get one of the higher end ones targeted towards content creators. It is usually possible to calibrate other monitors though with a tool

[quaint mist]

IPS is best for dark room, right?

[maiden wedge]

Va or ips?

For gaming

Only

[patent lagoon]

tn lmao

[maiden wedge]

Cvvvvvvv

[charred rain]

pffffffff

u don't need more than 165/144 for gaming

is ur getting 240, that means it's most likely 1080p

and at that point, spare your eyes and get 2k 144

[mint brook]

Lol imagine when they start making 480hz monitors, even though it would be impossible to tell the difference from 240 to 480

[stiff birch]

i have a 1000hz monitor

minus 940hz

[sage trail]

i have a 12hz monitor

times 12hz

[stiff birch]

bro i can't do that

that's too hard math

im only on my additoon tables

[sage trail]

[stiff birch]

btw i just bought an OPtix G241. Was it a good purchase? I still have time to cancel the order

I have a 2080 super and a 3800x

[sage trail]

yes

good monitor

[stiff birch]

thank you kind sir

it's $180 on amazon so im like bruh moment

[sage nacelle]

what resolution is a 25 inch

[versed bridge]

Depends

Could be anything from lass than 800x600 to more than 4k

[covert solstice]

usually 1080p tho

[maiden wedge]

yo does anyone know a 200hz 1440p (2k preferred) monitor that has 0.50/1 ms response that is 24-27 inch (27 inch preferred)

[sage nacelle]

FHD 1080p is what amazon says

[versed bridge]

@maiden wedge You know that 2k is lower resolution than 1440p, right?

[maiden wedge]

oh

i didn't know that

my bad

oops

noob building

[simple snow]

Hey @versed bridge

For gaming should I get 144Hz or is 60Hz about the same

[covert solstice]

144hz is pretty nice

[patent lagoon]

night and day difference imo so im not going back @simple snow

[versed bridge]

144hz hands down

[patent lagoon]

^^^

[fringe vapor]

Can someone help me find a 27” 144hz monitor, both good in a dark setting as well as a light setting

[patent lagoon]

@fringe vapor aoc cq27g2 if you can find it for $260

[fringe vapor]

Thanks you @patent lagoon

Any recommendations for a curved monitor?

Just wondering

[patent lagoon]

that one @fringe vapor

has a 1500r curve

nice n deep

[wanton musk]

how do i find the right monitor mount?

[mint brook]

For what monitor?

Also, does it say Vesa compatible on it?

[wanton musk]

its a tv

but i call it a monitor

@mint brook

it has 4 screw holes on the back

and i wanna mount it vertical

[open laurel]

i have a question

should i get either a 60hz or a 144hz second monitor ?

[wanton musk]

what are you using for?

@open laurel

[open laurel]

like discord, searching and watching tutorial, coding and such

not really for gaming

[wanton musk]

60hz

but if you want go for 75

if you want

[open laurel]

okay

[wanton musk]

144 is for gaming and such

[open laurel]

great

thanks for the advice

but

if im in game, can i move my mouse to the second monitor while in game, or do i have to tab out and then move to it ?

[mint brook]

Tab out

[heavy palm]

Tab out

[versed bridge]

Tab nine

[maiden wedge]

Just ordered this bc there is nothing on the market hopefully it’s not as bad as I think

4ms makes me cringe but whatever

looks good is it ips

va 😦

idc really i just wanted a new monitor

[patent lagoon]

huh

i thought they have an ips panel?

[sage trail]

y do 4ms make u cringe?

[versed bridge]

4ms gtg is pretty darn good

[trail yew]

And va is pretty good too lol

[maiden wedge]

Idk idk a lot ab monitors someone else told me it sucked

[trail yew]

Nah, thats a good monitor

[maiden wedge]

Ok great to know

[hexed yarrow]

@patent lagoon whats your recommendation?

[hexed yarrow]

anyone know anything about the MSI Optix MAG270VC2?

[patent lagoon]

what gpu does ur pc have?

[hexed yarrow]

rtx 2060 but its a laptop

it gets pretty good frames on most games

im getting a keyboard and monitor before i get a pc so when the time comes i can just buy the pc and not worry about perihperals

[chrome heart]

best monitor for gaming to make a triple monitor setup? GPU- 5700xt overclocked

[patent lagoon]

no clue

@hexed yarrow a 1440p or 1080p?

[hexed yarrow]

1080 for now

[lucid flax]

I know somebody a few days ago was going on about how IPS monitors are not good for gaming.

[patent lagoon]

@hexed yarrow ahttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B08462DXV2/ref=dp_cerb_1

or they have a curved version for $10 cheaper

[mint brook]

@lucid flax imagine thinking IPS was bad for gaming lol, I have an LG ultragear that has IPS and it is a 1 millisecond response time.

[compact beacon]

Does anyone know the best deal for a 240 hz monitor? 144 hz as well?

144 hz not 240

unless 240 an insane deal

[dreamy spruce]

Why does the color change on one monitor when I start a game on the other monitor? certain setting?

[dense bone]

Anyone have a 144hz 1440p 24-27" monitor for under 300?

[marble ice]

@compact beacon this one is pretty good

in my opinion at least

[dreamy spruce]

WHy are my colors changing when I start a game?

[proven salmon]

@dreamy spruce if you use nvidias video software the “picture” setting pertain to static stuff like desktop, chrome, etc. while the “video” setting affect games. make you you make them both the same or at least set the game one how u want it

[radiant flume]

Hey have $250.00 budget any suggestions for a curve gaming monitor.. greatly appreciated

[patent lagoon]

@radiant flume what specs you want?

@dense bone aoc cq27 g2

I was able to get mine for $260

[stiff birch]

MIS Optix G241 or AOC 24G2

Which one is better out of the two

[light bone]

I just got aoc g1, g2 is better in what ways?

[stiff birch]

IPS panel i believe

[light bone]

I see, i got it because i needed a monitor right NOW and the market is pretty dry

On amazon anyway

[stiff birch]

24g2 is on amazon rn

for like $212 instead of like $189

but who cares that's not a lot

[light bone]

I was talking about the 1440p 144 version

Sorry didnt read the 24" part

[deep fern]

colors changing sounds strange

i'd check gpu control panel settings, also best if your game has same res and refresh as desktop

[patent lagoon]

It has an ips n

G32qc have a speaker ?

165Hz better. But 144 is wonderful compared to 60.

[opaque sedge]

@opaque sedge we do not except macs
@cosmic nacelle Yeah ik lmao, but it’s for my aunt and she’s a teacher and her school is about to start. She needs another monitor.

[vernal timber]

Are there cherry mx blues but quieyt

@vernal timber cherry mx brown, but Gateron browns have a better tactile feel

[vernal timber]

[visual pilot]

And also dampeners don't dampen the tactile click afaik, only bottom out

[covert solstice]

yes orings suck

and yes they only dampen the bottom out and shorten the travel

[trail yew]

I can agree that o rings suck

[covert solstice]

yes

[ocean fiber]

Hi guys, which monitor do you recommend? IPS or OLED? for about 144hz and 2k

[odd echo]

ips if you have the budget

[ocean fiber]

Going to look for it 🙂

Thank you

[remote granite]

do you need a different hdmi/dp cord for 144hz

[proven salmon]

depends on the cord

if u have a trash cord and try to run too high res or fps through it youll probably blackscreen

[maiden wedge]

Use a DisplayPort

[whole sorrel]

Depends on the revision

If it's like 1.0 or something from 1954 you won't get 144Hz

[sharp geyser]

I need advice..I'm waiting for next gen gpu to build a new pc, I currently have a msi 970. I have no preference yet if I with an am AMD or Nvidia build. However I need a new monitor now and I want to future proof myself for my new PC build. I think I want a 2560x1440 curved monitor and I'm going to build around a solid 1440, 144hz. Basically I think I want something affordable and I'm not going to shoot for 4k or ultra wide. Can you recommend me a monitor! Also how much do I need to worry about being locked into Freesync / Gsync at this stage are most cards capable of working with either?

[mint brook]

If you have amd, it won't work with gsync

If you have Nvidia, it will work with freesync

And of course Nvidia will also work with gync

[sharp geyser]

Okay good to know the amd card won't go with a gsync monitor. Likely I wasn't going to do that combo as it seems like if I choose AMD it's usually to save a few bucks, and it would be the same with the freesync monitor.

[mint brook]

Yeah

[primal mortar]

can someone get me a link to a cheap monitor that is good for work

anyone try the acer predator 32 inch w/ gsync

Acer Predator Z321QU 31.5

i have odyssey g7 32 inch but its riddled with gsync flicker n tried 4

[sage trail]

try returning it

[brave cipher]

i have 3 times

[sage trail]

wdym

its under warrenty, right? i think there was a recall for those models, but idr why

[brave cipher]

i was looking into the Acer Predator Z321QU 31.5 which is 165hz gsync, no hdr

g9 was pulled, g7 they dont wanna admit any issue

i still am in return period but just wondering if anyone has tried the acer

like in destiny 2 i gotta set sync to 120hz and flicker goes away, but 240 its bad

[sage trail]

i guess the gsync flicker is a common g7 issue

[brave cipher]

yes esp on 32 inch its more wide spread

[sage trail]

so get rid of it by any means necessary

lol

[brave cipher]

its a beautiful moni9tor otherwise heh

[sage trail]

also, any monitor that costs more than 300 is gonna be quality, so dont even worry about it

unless it has manufacturing defects of course

[brave cipher]

yes the acer is same as g7 but 165hz oc actual gsync module, 300brite, 3000contrast

i have it reserved just dunno its va panel too

@maiden wedge whats your price range?

[brave cipher]

Does qled for monitors make contrast and brightness just look amazing and adjust without over saturation of whites.. cause any other va or ips just overshoots and makes everything look blah

I'm wondering since samsung does more tvs that the contrast % doesn't work the same way as a standard monitor manufacturer?

Tn as far as I know is best for competitive

But ips is better quality ain't it?

But rn I'm really not sure if I really pay the extra premium for the ips panel

[graceful tree]

hello, i'm looking to upgrade my 1080p144 AOC C24G1 to a curved 1440p monitor with at least 120hz. i've been looking at the AOC CQ27G1/CQ27G2 but i've heard their responsiveness is not the greatest (they're advertised as 1ms but apparently that's just marketing), does anyone have experience with these monitors? i can afford to spend more but i also wouldn't mind saving some money. willing to take any recommendations as well. up to $500 is okay if the price is justified.

alternatively are there any resources that show true/measured response times of many different monitors?

I would place 9/10 importance on responsiveness, 6/10 importance on color quality, and 1/10 importance on brightness and viewing angles. 250 nits is already more than enough for me.

please ping or dm me, it's 4 am so i'm going to bed for now.

@graceful tree

[nocturne python]

reviews for Asus TUF Gaming VG259Q, I'm getting mixed messages here

[nocturne python]

why is it so hard to find a good 144hz 1080p screen with g-sync that doesn't brick after a year or have issues for most people

and I'm not going ultrawide or 32 inch

this is a cry for help btw

[graceful tree]

@nocturne python FWIW I was very happy with my AOC C24G1, I just want better to pair with a 3080ti

not g-sync but the freesync worked flawlessly with my nvidia card

@patent lagoon thank u king this looks great so far I'll look more into it and let u know if I go with this

[patent lagoon]

I was going to go with that but I found an aoc model similar to the one you have with the same specs as that gigabyte for less @graceful tree

[graceful tree]

CQ27G1/2?

[patent lagoon]

G2

[graceful tree]

I was looking into it, it's got much lower color coverage and the actual response time is quite high

so I was looking for other options

[patent lagoon]

Mine is 1ms

Which one you looking at

Link 😈

[graceful tree]

yeah 1ms is what they market it as but independent testing showed much higher

I just woke up I'll find the review again after my morning routine

also fwiw I was happy with the AOC product itself but their customer service was atrocious (took 8 months to rma and got ignored in multiple occasions until I went to their social media)

[nocturne python]

ah

that's a bit of a turn off

is it common that these ones come broken

[graceful tree]

in my case I accidentally scratched it and it was my own fault, but they advertised a 1 year accidental damage warranty, so they should still honor it promptly

@patent lagoon so I couldn't find info on the gigabyte monitor you linked but toms hardware measured a 7ms true response time on the 32 inch version of it

while the AOC one I think was like 17ms

[patent lagoon]

Oi

[graceful tree]

found it

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/aoc/cq27g1

i assume the G2 is similar

since they're almost the same price and from the same company

[nocturne python]

is there a good 1080p 144hz option though

[graceful tree]

@patent lagoon after doing some research i decided to buy the gigabyte monitor you linked, $280 seems like a really good price and i hear gigabyte has great customer service

from my research it seems significantly better enough than the AOC monitor to justify the slightly higher price

[nocturne python]

@graceful tree what's the gigabyte one called

nvm I see it

why would anyone need a curved monitor

you're already so close to it there's no point

[patent lagoon]

Huh

You know how curved works

[nocturne python]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824475048

this one looks promising

I was hoping to get a 24inch as I pretty much only play csgo and some escape from tarkov

but this would work

[versed bridge]

^ how curves work

[nocturne python]

I prefer flat personally

[versed bridge]

Same

[nocturne python]

Lmao 1000r would just have stretched sides

[versed bridge]

It so happy tho

[nocturne python]

well viewing angles would come into play

👀 TN 1000r

the sides of your monitor become acid trip zone

[nocturne python]

yikes

what absolute genius came up with this one

[versed bridge]

Yup

The phone that snaps in half when you sit on it

[nocturne python]

does anybody here have a good reliable 24in 144hz 1080p monitor with adaptive sync/g sync

[heavy palm]

@nocturne python I use the dell s17dg something. I got it for ~$330 and it runs games very smoothly. Also the colors on tarkov look nice : )

[nocturne python]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XV1519W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OjeoFbMW5WAJB this one looks the most appealing so far

g sync and 1080p

[graceful tree]

@nocturne python curved monitor feels more immersive to me

[nocturne python]

I don't like them

[graceful tree]

I didn't think it was that big of a deal until I returned my curved monitor and had to use my regular flat second monitor as my main monitor

after using curved a flat screen feels unnatural and uncomfortable

the bigger the screen the bigger the impact

[nocturne python]

I'm not looking for immersion though because I mostly play competitive games

[graceful tree]

your eyes aren't flat so why should monitor be flat

yes I play league

[nocturne python]

I'm not looking for a curved tho

[graceful tree]

and I'm not telling you need to go curved

but you're asking why they exist

lol

[nocturne python]

yeah

they're good for some people

[graceful tree]

all I'm saying is I was in the same boat as you until I tried one

[nocturne python]

but they make your peripheral vision not pick up as much stuff on the edge of the screen

[graceful tree]

idk I have no problem seeing minimap on bottom right corner

[nocturne python]

I'm talking like you barely see an enemy on the edge of the screen

[graceful tree]

I'm top 0.1% playing the role that hinges entirely on map awareness

so I don't think curved monitor impedes that lol

[nocturne python]

maybe not in league

but shooters

[graceful tree]

I think you think the curve is much more exaggerated than it actually is

[nocturne python]

it depends on the monitor

[graceful tree]

it's actually harder to see the edges of the monitor on a flat screen than on 1500R

[nocturne python]

yeah

I bet it is :)

[graceful tree]

the edges of a 1500R monitor follow the curvature of your eyes, the edges of a flat monitor are comparatively farther away

[nocturne python]

not on a 24inch

if you look at esports tournaments they always have the 24inch 240hz BenQ monitor

it's the industry standard

I would get that one but I bought AMD so I can't hit 240fps reliably

[graceful tree]

well yes because they go for 240hz which uses TN panels more often than VA panels, and VA panels are the easiest to curve

professional gamers would obviously value 240hz over curved

I'll take 165hz and curved I'm good but I'm not a professional

you're looking at 144hz so that's not really an important consideration anyways

[nocturne python]

yeah

It all comes down to preference

[graceful tree]

of course

I have been trying to figure out this guy issue.

[median mantle]

He has an Acer 1920x1080P monitor that has a max refresh rate of 144hz.

In the PC resolution options, the max resolution is 1680x1050.

This is my current gpu

MSI RTX 2060 VENTUS XS

[covert solstice]

[sweet falcon]

This is my current monitor

My current monitor is

GN246HL Bbid

I installed the latest drivers for the gpu

But after going to nvidia control panel

144hz doesnt show up at all

Also using an hdmi 2.0 cable

I have no idea what to do next

[urban sandal]

[deep fern]

try windows settings > display > advanced display settings > display adapter properties > monitor tab and see if you can do anything there

[sweet falcon]

from the drop down menu

the highest hz

is 60

😦

techghost do you mind connecting through teamviewer

maybe it will be easier that way

if you have the time ofc

if not than its fine

[median mantle]

[sweet falcon]

[deep fern]

[deep fern]

could test custom res in nvidia control panel https://i.imgur.com/1RbrnXa.png

[median mantle]

1920x1080P at 144hz

If it doesn't work it's borked.

@sweet falcon

Try this

[sweet falcon]

it only allows me to customize the resolutions listed under this section : Ultra HD, HD, SD

should i proceed?

when i try to click the pc section

the customize

greyes out

[deep fern]

hmm, i see some people say with that monitor you need DVI Dual link connection

[median mantle]

Dumb stupid Acer

[sweet falcon]

[median mantle]

[sweet falcon]

ok that is fine

can one of you guys point me out to a best buy link, amazon so i can make the purchase

[median mantle]

I don't even think that GPU has DVI.

[deep fern]

dp to dual dvi

[covert solstice]

yeah dvi sucks

[median mantle]

🤮

There are 4 types of DVi

[deep fern]

maybe something like this https://www.newegg.com/p/37H-0013-000F7?item=9SIAN17BSJ5404

[sweet falcon]

bryce i think i have to return this hdmi 2.0 to bestbuy since it doesnt serve the purpose

correct?

[median mantle]

yes

[deep fern]

wait hmm that link is 3rd party seller

[median mantle]

The dumb Acer HDMI port probably is 1.2 or some dumb stuff.
Stupid Acer.

Like the actual port on the monitor not the cable.

[deep fern]

i saw listed as 1.4 somewhere but i guess it is wrong

[median mantle]

Reeee

What is wrong with Acer

[deep fern]

old monitor model maybe

[sweet falcon]

they are still in the flintstones age i guess

😦

@deep fern or @median mantle

point me out the correct cables/products that i need to buy

to make this work please

thanks in advance for your help

[deep fern]

maybe this https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-DisplayPort-DVI-Display-Cable/dp/B014RWWWT8/

i no expert with dvi but that looks like dual link

can check monitor port too see if that looks like it

[sweet falcon]

tech i am no good with this stuff and i dont want to buy the wrong thing. can i send you a photo of the back of my gpu and monitor?

like private message

@deep fern

[sweet falcon]

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-DisplayPort-DVI-Display-Cable/dp/B014RWWWT8/

nothing else?

to make it work?

[deep fern]

ye that should work

[sweet falcon]

thank you so much

buying it now

thanks for your help

is there any survey to complete for your ratings or anything like that

i like to help as well

if there is such a thing

do you want me to shout you out in display chat?

you have been very helpful

thanks so much

@median mantle thank you for your help as well. it was a learning lesson

now i know how to proceed in the future

[deep fern]

haha nah thats fine, feel free to update us if all goes good

[sweet falcon]

thanks my man

oh one more thing @deep fern

this product that i am buying

the cable does it matter what version it is

like the hdmi

1.3, 1.4 or 2?

or in this case that doesnt matter at all

[deep fern]

wait

[sweet falcon]

sure

[deep fern]

mmm my mistake you need a active adapter which are a bit more expensive, this looks like one that will work with 144hz https://www.amazon.com/3D-CAC-1010-DisplayPort-Dual-Link-Adapter/dp/B07T16LLB8/ , though you will also need the dvi cable separate with this

@sweet falcon

[sweet falcon]

@deep fern wait so i need this https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-DisplayPort-DVI-Display-Cable/dp/B014RWWWT8/?th=1 and this https://www.amazon.com/3D-CAC-1010-DisplayPort-Dual-Link-Adapter/dp/B07T16LLB8/

both?

[deep fern]

not the first, the second and a cable like this https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Dual-Link-Feet/dp/B007NJ0S1W?th=1 unless you can find a active adapter with both male ends

[sweet falcon]

i see

ok so i will be able to connect one of these cables to that adapter then the cables going out of that adapter to the gpu and the monitor

am i understanding this correctly

?

@deep fern

[deep fern]

on adapter dp port go to gpu and usb to power, then dvi cable from adapter to monitor

[sweet falcon]

Ok thanks a lot for your help

Will make the purchase now

[hallow orbit]

What’s the best curved gaming monitor to buy for my first build?

[quaint mist]

I've been looking at the Samsung Odyssey 5

So pricy though

Same with the Gigabyte/Aorus. The ViewSonic Elite, all 1440 IPS 144hz

And I'm pretty sure all Gsync compatible

[hallow orbit]

Cool

[maiden wedge]

Can someone help me understand how tf stand alone monitors work

[versed bridge]

@maiden wedge What about them?

[deep fern]

same as laptop monitors but standalone

[maiden wedge]

Terrible specs

@deep fern

[maiden wedge]

should I get a vertical monitor and a landscape monitor or should I get a 49 inch ultrawide?

[lilac ivy]

Any opinions on the AOC CU34G2X?

[hallow orbit]

Can somebody tell me what excellent monitor I can buy?

[civic igloo]

Check this out on @Newegg: ASUS ROG Swift PG35VQ 35" 21:9 Ultra-WQHD 3440 x 1440 2K Resolution 200Hz 2ms HDMI, DisplayPort NVIDIA G-SYNC HDR-10 Flicker-Free Low Blue Light LED Backlit Curved Gaming Monitor

https://www.newegg.com/armor-titanium-plasma-copper-asus-rog-swift-pg35vq-90lm03t0-b013b0-35/p/N82E16824236992?Item=N82E16824236992&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-24-236-992-_-08162020

That’s an excellent monitor

[visual pilot]

is UW

[civic igloo]

UW?

[visual pilot]

ultrawide

21:9

[civic igloo]

Yes

Notice that very affordable price

[visual pilot]

yes

[fringe vapor]

I’m looking for a 27in 144hz 1440p and my budget is $500

Plus the tax it brings

[visual pilot]

one sec there was a good one at like 330$

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824737008

[fringe vapor]

I was looking at the omen 27i but someone told me I could find better

[visual pilot]

oh wait

that's TN

ignore that

[fringe vapor]

Ok

Yeah sorry I forgot to tell you I’d prefer a ips

[visual pilot]

https://www.newegg.com/black-nixeus-nx-edg27-v2-27/p/3D4-000B-00003
this is an option from specs wise

yea IPS is always preferred

That's not IPS, the title is confusing, it's AHVA, which is kinda like IPS but loses a bit of color, and not the same as VA

[fringe vapor]

Hey @civic igloo

[civic igloo]

Never heard of nixeus, they any good @visual pilot?

Yo

[visual pilot]

No idea

[fringe vapor]

I finally finished my pc

[visual pilot]

that's why I just said it was good spec wise

[civic igloo]

Niceee

Ah ok

VA > TN correct?

[visual pilot]

here

actually good monitor @fringe vapor
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NFK9XST

IPS>VA>TN

and aparently AHVA is somewhere inbetween IPS and VA

color wise

[covert solstice]

i would say va=tn for gaming and normal use tn panels have gotten a lot better which color

[civic igloo]

I don’t think I’ve seen an AHVA panel in person, are they more affordable?

[visual pilot]

seems like it

[civic igloo]

Might have to look into that

[visual pilot]

I'll take a look at some point

doesn't seem all too common

[civic igloo]

Never heard of it until today and then I gave em a quick Newegg search

Doesn’t look like there are a ton of em there

[solar ginkgo]

I'm looking for a good 27+inch, 1440p, 120+hz monitor under or at $300 (before or after any promotion). Any suggestions?
