Been looking at this one but im not sure if there's something better

proven salmon
#

Id recommed AG271QX

#

its usually out of stock but buying used isnt so bad if u can avoid shipping

maiden wedge
#

is this guy going to play the ps5 lol

#

i need a recommendation on a good but cheap 144hz 1080p gaming monitor at 27 inches

proven salmon
#

1080p 144hz is like 80% of the market

rose citrus
#

well i need one cheap and good

hallow orbit
#

Do you recommend any G sync monitors that aren’t too expensive @civic igloo

maiden wedge
#

i just use a 1080p ips 75 htz and 1080p ips 144hz both 23.8 inch

rose citrus
#

also i need it reliable, something that wont give up obviously

proven salmon
#

most are

rose citrus
#

well i need a recommendation

#

anything in the price range of $350 or lower

proven salmon
#

i have never owned a monitor of that type to i do not have one for u

maiden wedge
#

i need to verify my phone number but i dont have a number rip

rose citrus
#

@maiden wedge who are you even talking to?

proven salmon
#

never had that monitor but i do recommend the brand

rose citrus
#

thanks Nice

Looking for a 1440p 144 hz 32 inch monitor

#

Just need a good one with good response times and such

#

G Sync

fringe vapor
#

Want it curved or wide thats usually what I see people go for on a 32in

#

And you got a budget @lone flare

maiden wedge
#

What's a good vertical monitor? Preferably 1080p 60hz

#

And about 20" to 24"

distant python
#

you can get a regular monitor and just turn the display @maiden wedge

visual pilot
#

That's what he wants, not all monitors are on swivel mounts lol

hidden mountain
#

what budget 144hz monitors do you guys recommend?

patent lagoon
#

@hidden mountain what resolution?

hidden mountain
#

1080p or 1440p

patent lagoon
#

lmao thats a big range

#

what kind of gpu you have?

visual pilot
#

And what price do you consider "budget"?

hidden mountain
#

under $300

visual pilot
#

There's like 1 1440p144hz monitor in existence under 300$ so might not be a good idea for 1440p, also depends on your GPU

hidden mountain
#

1080p is also fine

#

@patent lagoon planning 2070 super or 2080 super cause of out of stock 2070s

#

planning on updating monitor later when I have more money

visual pilot
#

Then I'd reccomend like a MSI G241 now

hidden mountain
#

i was looking into that one

visual pilot
#

And later you can grab a nice 400$ 1440p144hz panel

#

If you were planning to upgrade might as well grab a cheaper monitor that works well as a main and a secondary monitor

hidden mountain
#

yeah so you recommend the G241 for that purpose

visual pilot
#

It's just a great all around monitor

#

At like 190$

hidden mountain
#

alr thanks

visual pilot
#

(was just saying you might not want to spend the whole 300$ into an expensive monitor if you were going to upgrade down the line anyways)

hidden mountain
#

yeah

#

thanks again

visual pilot
#

You're welcome

#

Keep an eye out for other monitor deals though, there are similar spec ones at around 180$ that could go on sale for cheaper

hidden mountain
#

cool

patent lagoon
#

ya just get something on the low for rn

#

why not just wait for 3000 series @hidden mountain

visual pilot
#

For GPU

hidden mountain
#

i was thinking ab it

#

anyone know what the cost would be yet

patent lagoon
#

pretty similar i would hope

hidden mountain
#

i thought it would kinda expensive

#

since its new and all

visual pilot
#

MSRP is usually pretty consistent

#

From like GTX 10xx to RTX 20xx

hidden mountain
#

ok

#

i might wait not sure yet

covert solstice
#

brUH 2080 ti msrp

visual pilot
#

Ya

#

3090 leaked MSRP is like 2000$ but that's the replacement for rtx titan

covert solstice
#

it went from 650-700-1200 for the fe cards 9xx-20xx

visual pilot
#

That is true

#

But crypto happened

#

32 inches?

#

damn

#

lemme guess, you edit? @lone flare

proven salmon
#

a 32 inch 1440p display is almost always an ultrawide monitor so is that what youre looking for?

versed bridge

I've seen standard aspect ratios in that size

proven salmon
#

i said almost

lone flare
#

@burnt cove yea a lot of stuff

tame cedar
#

@lone flare I mean if you want to go balls to the wall 240 hz but above budget there’s always Samsung’s g7 odyssey

small bane
#

should i get a 144hz monitor for a 2060 s and a r5 3600

deep fern
#

if you game then sure 144hz feels great. it probably won't get full 144 in AAA games at max settings tho, competitve games would be fine for sure

#

if you on 60hz rn i would get 144

small bane
#

is it that much if a difference?

#

The AOC 27G2 27" Frameless Gaming IPS Monitor, FHD 1080P, 1ms 144Hz is $207 atm

#

out of stock tho till 9/22

#

i am on 60 hs ips tho

deep fern
#

60 to 144hz is a huge difference imo, one good budget option is the msi g241

small bane
#

hz

#

i have a dual monitor setup both 27 "

#

personally i don't get 1080p above 24", pixel density very low

#

@reef lava split arm on a rail mount, or 2 separate arms mounted to the table

#

also, a fair amount of pivot-able monitor stands can lower the monitor that low

reef lava
#

Hm. Okay

full moat

IF you are trying/thinking about doing something similar. Remember VESA mounting points are your best friend :)

#

anyone know why my 165hz monitor keeps setting itself to 100hz

#

I'm having a problem with my monitor is there anyone who can help me?

odd echo
#

whats up

dense karma
#

Idk why but my screen gets these green black and white lines when I enter fullscreen of a video.

#

It only started a few days ago but Idk if it's my computer's fault or my monitor's.

maiden wedge
#

Is this a good monitor? ( I know 1080p at 27" isn't the best but 27 Is the only size I can go with)

maiden wedge
#

I'm going to be using this for both my Xbox and PC once I build it and I know Xbox ones only get about 60fps will it casue my Xbox to be laggy in frames any sort of way.

#

?

#

No

maiden wedge
#

Ok thanks

dense karma
#

@odd echo Are you still there?

odd echo
#

yes. i just didnt check the channel again

#

my bad

#

it looks like other components are running fine, so i assume its a computer problem

📎 unknown.png
#

have you tried updating your graphics drivers?

dense karma
#

Ah no problem I posted a picture of my monitor above.

#

Yeah I checked and all of them were updated.

#

I used intel driver assistant tho.

odd echo
#

what graphics do you have?

dense karma
#

Radeon RX 590 Series

#

Also the screen is only like that once I enter fullscreen but goes away after like a second.

odd echo
#

youre on windows 10 i assume?

dense karma
#

Yes.

odd echo
#

and if you dont trust me sending a direct download link, heres the website

#

try those

dense karma
#

Are those the graphic card drivers I need?

odd echo
#

yes

dense karma
#

Cause the PC was running fine for almost 6 months Idk why it started now.

odd echo
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

it happens i guess

dense karma
#

Alright hopefully this solves it.

#

Btw is there another channel I was supposed to use to find tech help because this seems to be a channel for monitor assistance.

dense karma
#

@odd echo Ahh nothing happened also I think I accidently downloaded the drivers twice.

odd echo
#

so that didnt fix the problem?

dense karma
#

Yeah the lines are still there.

hey guys any ideas on how to mount this monitor
LG 24mp88hv

maiden wedge
#

Does anyone have this monitor? If so can you give me some feedback if this monitor is worth it or not? Alot of the reviews say after a few months there are dead pixels pleaseet me know if this would be a good monitor to buy for my PC

full moat
#

For any monitor purchase @maiden wedge, dead pixel warranty/return/replacement rights are something you should ask the seller (and depending on region, the manufacturer) about.

maiden wedge
#

@full moat I'm unsure what this means but this was on the warranty page on the monitor

sand terrace
#

OH! That's new

#

So before... Newegg required that a screen have at least 5 or 7 dead pixels to be eligible for a return due to dead pixels.

Now... we've removed that restriction and you can return the item regardless of the amount of dead pixels your unit has! 🙂

maiden wedge
#

Ok thanks!@sand terrace

full moat
#

that return policy change is a good change (both for you @maiden wedge and for newegg as a store)

maiden wedge
#

Ok thanks

so i have a 24” 144hz monitor but i want to get another monitor for a dual setup and suggested size i should get or if i should get a curved or anything

proven salmon
#

@pastel cedar what are u looking for?

#

for what purpose?

#

is it workstation or gaming?

#

gotcha

#

so you’re prioritizing functionality/price over stuff like color right?

#

honestly idk

#

theyre practically the same thing and for the same price you should go with whatever seller you’re more confident in

brisk acorn
#

The P2419H is a really good monitor actually. I use it as one of the monitors in my main setup. Its nice being able to change the height, tilt it, lower it and all that without a mount or stand.

full moat
#

@brisk acorn what enables you to do that is normally known as a ..... stand

#

so yes, you do have a stand :)

brisk acorn
#

I just said mount or stand since you can buy both

#

For 2 of my monitors they use stands, the other 2 use stands

full moat
#

and one of the benefits of most dell monitors is that they come with a full pivot stand.

brisk acorn
#

Yeaj

#

That's one reason I like buying Dell monitors

austere verge
#

Recently purchased a pair of ASUS24 EHE monitors for my new MacMini. They work separately but not together. One of the two remains black if connected as the second monitor - moving that monitor to the primary position blanks out both displays. Anyone have experience with this or have suggestions of what to try?

proven salmon
#

does your pc support multiple displays? some dont

austere verge
#

Yes, the MacMini supports two 4K displays or 3 of a lower spec if desired. There are 4 USB C connectors on the MacMini.

versed bridge
#

Is the monitor listed as compatible with a Mac?

#

I'll assume that the USB C ports support thunderbolt?

upbeat crown
#

Hey all, what would be the best monitor for like under $200? idk if possible, but 144/120/100Hz and IPS display?

#

/would it be better to go for something like TN or smtn

deep fern
#

Msi g241

rare mauve
#

so here's how it works...

#

analog displays have a bandwidth limit, and field limit

#

the field limit determines how fast it can refresh... and the bandwidth limit serves as an upper cap total through put...

#

Example

#

thats NTSC standard

#

see on the bottom how its got a pixel clock of 24mhz

#

thats the total limit

#

for arcade machines >.>

#

MOST PC monitors have a limit of 96mhz

#

(analog ones)

#

also i explained that partially wrong...

#

Let me sort of start over (this is all from a conversation in a previous channel)

#

Imagine you own a Samsung 900NF, if you google its stats it will say the following.

1600x1200p 85hz "Native"
V 160HZ (refresh rate vertical)
H 110khz (how fast the beam can move horizontal)

But it won't say the total BW limit....

#

so if we punch native into a calculator...

#

we get that

#

actually 241... but who's counting... its best to round sync rate to nearest 5

#

so... any resolution that does not surpass 160h 110v will work. (as long as it does not drop below 31 or 24khz)

#

so... lets say I want to do... 160hz, get max refresh rate...

#

1280x1024 is too high, so if i try the next lower standard res... I get 1024x768, plugging that in...

#

the pixel clock is okay, under 240... but the refresh rate under horizontal is still too high 😦

#

Sooo 800x600 is the best i can do at 160 on THIS monitor...

#

but i can still do 2048x1536 at 60hz

#

now that is overclocking the pixel clock... but it will take the image. the specs are... not always 100% accurate on the spec sheet

#

well usually the H/V are... but the pixel clock is kind of a guessing game

#

but unlike LCD you can jump around in resolution and test things, even if they are "overclocked" and you wont hurt an analog display

#

you CAN hurt a LCD though, so don't do these things if your using a modern display.

#

hey does anyone have any opinions on the Acer KG251QJ?

upbeat crown
#

Thanks so much guys! ❤️

maiden wedge
#

Dropped a monitor and it turned off and now not only that isn't working but my other one doesnt work either

proven salmon
#

were the monitors twins? this sounds supernatural

maiden wedge
#

Basically, i have a big TV and I use that, and I was going to use a second one for something else

#

Since the stand isnt there it slid off

#

It flickered and suddenly both wont connect

#

I have a feeling it has something to deal with the GPU ports being fried

What’s a good 144hz + monitor. No more than $400

#

Monoprice just got their 27" 1440p 144hz flat display back in stock. $250

I've got one already and was hoping to buy another but my partner talked me out of spending right now.

You can backorder a 24.5" 1080p 240hz Acer display on b&h for $270, but I'm not sure when that will come back in stock.

mild solar
#

Having issues figuring out what monitor to choose for my new PC..

#

Could someone help me out with figuring out what monitor is right for me?

maiden wedge
#

Is it worth playing on a 144hz monitor if I'm getting lower than 144fps? Do I still see a benefit compared to 60/75hz?
And will I be getting screening tearing if I'm below the refresh rate? Had a problem on my laptop where I would get really choppy going much below 60fps

granite field
#

Depends how much below 144 your actual fps is

#

I play fps/competitive games on low settings to guarantee 2-300 fps

But I'll turn adventure games up to max and get 70-90 fps

#

In my opinion both look better at 144hz than at 60

#

But you're not getting a lot of benefit out of the display if you can't get your fps anywhere close

maiden wedge
#

Alright
And how helpful is stuff like freesync? I'm trying to limit my monitor budget so sticking with the most important things like refresh rate and response time

granite field
#

I didn't realize you could get a monitor without free sync anymore

mild solar
#

what monitor would be good with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER (MSI Gaming X variant)?

granite field
#

I turn off the adaptive sync stuff because tearing bothers me less than the buffer/input lag.

#

I would say a 1080p panel Ash

#

Refresh rate is more personal preference. Do you want to turn settings up and get 50-60 fps? Or turn them down to get fps as high as possible?

mild solar
#

?

#

1080p.. that's Full HD, right?

maiden wedge
#

Sorry I didn't meant gsync
Since Im going to be getting an Nvidia card and want to know if the extra cost is worth

#

It adds input lag?

#

And do you guys use TN or IPS for gaming

granite field
#

IPS has caught up to TN with response time and refresh rate, but probably costs more (and supposedly looks better)

#

I use a TN panel and like it.

#

1080p is full HD (FHD)

#

To me the extra cost of gsync was never worth it to me, since I always planned on running above the refresh rate of the monitor any way. And yeah it adds like a 3 frame buffer to what is being displayed, which at 60fps can be noticeable

maiden wedge
#

Yikes. That's the whole reason I wouldn't want to use vsync don't see how that's better

#

So I'll just forget about it

granite field
#

I dunno what kinda GPU you have or what fps you're going for, but I would think that higher refresh rate or resolution would be a much bigger quality of life upgrade than gsync

maiden wedge
#

I guess I'm waiting for one of these 3000 series because everyone is telling me to do that instead of get a current one

#

I'm stuck between 75hz and 144 bc I don't know if I want to lower settings too much just to get 144hz constant
Especially if I play less than optimized games like escape for Tarkov

sage trail
#

144hz isnt really that hard to hit, and framerate is definetly cpu bound as well

#

example, I have a GTX 1080, but cant hit 120fps in the new modern warfare with the graphics settings bottomed out due to my 3rd gen intel cpu

#

yet with the settings nearly maxed, i hit about 90fps

#

and i see other systems with a 1080, but a much more modern cpu, pushing nearly 300 fps

maiden wedge
#

How about a ryzen 3600

#

Since everyone told me Intel is a bad idea

sage trail
#

intels a bad idea if your on a budget

#

if you got like 1500, and your literally only using the system for gaming, the 10600k is a compelling choice

maiden wedge
#

:/ that's what I said

#

But they say no ryzen better, just save up for a Better gpu with the money

sage trail
#

are you doing anything else that could be considered resource intansive aside from gaming tho?

maiden wedge
#

No

sage trail
#

whats your budget?

maiden wedge
#

I guess 1500 ish, I'm in Europe so it's hard to convert

sage trail
#

euros? pounds?

maiden wedge
#

Nope

#

I'm in eastern europe

sage trail
#

idk any other currencies over there lmao

maiden wedge
#

Polish zloty
Just say it's around 1500

sage trail
#

oof

#

oooooooooooof

#

yeah, your going amd for this build

maiden wedge
#

1500 usd I mean

#

Equivalent

#

Lol

sage trail
#

wait, so do you have usd?

#

or the other currency

maiden wedge
#

I have my currency but when people ask me for my budget I'm not going to say 6000-7000 polish zloty
I'll say around 1500 US bc that's the conversion

#

And it's easier for people to work with

sage trail
#

also, its really hard to tell you what to get because component cost and availability is much different than here in the US

maiden wedge
#

We have most of the stuff here

sage trail
#

are there any local stores or websites you would use?

maiden wedge
#

I'm just pulling my hair out over the processor because I keep switching between Intel and AMD
I really don't want my stuff being bottlenecked by my cpu

#

Yeah I have one that has a good selection

sage trail
#

dont worry about bottlenecks

#

its about getting components that arent terribly unbalanced

maiden wedge
#

The logical choice for me is 10600k for gaming only, but everyone and their dog is getting a 3600 or has one

sage trail
#

tbh, i would suggest the 10600k, just depends on how much it costs in your area

maiden wedge
#

I was on here last night and was told to forgot Intel, just get a 3600 and wait for the new nvidias to come out and grab one of those.

sage trail
#

the 3600 is always a solid choice

maiden wedge
#

And I play on 1080p.

sage trail
#

there arent many differences between the 3600 and the 10600k, you would be paying about 30 dollars more for a decent bump in fps for a handful of cpu intensive games

#

like minecraft

maiden wedge
#

On fancy????

#

Jk lol

sage trail
#

with RTX lol

maiden wedge
#

Whoa

sage trail
#

resolution is very GPU bound

#

if anything, it gives your cpu more time to think per frame rendered

#

so at 1080p, assuming your trying to hit 144 fps, you could get a 3300x and be fine

maiden wedge
#

Is that better than a 3600?

sage trail
#

no

#

its a 4/8 cpu, the 3600 is 6/12

#

but the single core performance is very similar

#

which is what most games care about

#

the 3600 is the more future proof option, as newer games will start to use more and more cores overtime

maiden wedge
#

I guess I'll wait to see the pricing of the Nvidia 3000 and make my decision based off my budget then. Because everyone is saying don't get any 20xx just wait a few days

sage trail
#

yeah

#

the new amd cpus are coming out later this year as well

#

but, it might not be worth waiting around for em

#

3600 is cheap enough, and intel wont have anything new for sale for a while

maiden wedge
#

Hmm

#

What do you run?

sage trail
#

old intel cpu

#

from 2013

maiden wedge
#

Cool

#

Thanks for the info.

granite field
#

Pretty decent info there, I have a 9600k rather than a 3600 and I prefer Intel for gaming

maiden wedge
#

Yeah. 3600 is always praised for being the best all around cpu but all I do is play games

granite field
#

You will have to bundle cost of a cooler into your build, but the ol reliable hyper 212 tower cooler should be just fine on the 9600k

maiden wedge
#

I'm getting a 10600k if anything

granite field
#

Well, same story I think, no cooler included

maiden wedge
#

Yup. Should run decently cool with any mid range stuff right

granite field
#

It needs a cooler to run at all, so you'll need to budget that in

sage trail
#

i mean, tdp rating is 125w

#

so, the 212 would be pushing it, and it would be better to spend 20 dollars more on a be quiet or noctua cooler

#

basically, you would be paying at least 200 dollars more for a 10600k based system vs a 3600 based system

granite field
#

That much is true

maiden wedge
#

That adds up

sage trail
#

+100 for cpu, +50 for the cooler, and +50 for a proper z490 motherboard

#

in USD

maiden wedge
#

Yeah I already have the z490 gaming edge picked

#

Basically I have stuff picked from Intel and AMD I just don't know which to go for

granite field
#

Because of the strengths and weaknesses of each CPU Intel will be faster in some games but I would think the Ryzen would be faster in games that can utilize multi core CPUs

sage trail
#

both cpus are 6/12

granite field
#

Oh right

#

My 9600k is not h/t

sage trail
#

both systems would shred any game 1080p @ 144hz

granite field
#

Intel has had consistently stronger performance at 1080p for a while

sage trail
#

if your looking to go past that, like 240hz, i would suggest intel

maiden wedge
#

Yeah most games but some are rather poorly optimized and very cpu dependent
Like escape from Tarkov and stuff

#

That's what makes me worried about my cpu

sage trail
#

if your looking to do 1440p or 4k, you can get away with the 3600 just fine

granite field
#

Yeah at higher resolution the bottleneck shifts to the GPU entirely

I'm doing 1080p for now,

granite field
#

Well not entirely but, you get what I mean

sage trail
#

would you consider a 240hz monitor? or are you fine with 144

granite field
#

Differences between Ryzen and Intel at 1440p or above are like 2% maybe

maiden wedge
#

144hz if at all lol. I was looking at 75hz earlier

granite field
#

I think you would have better experience using that $200 difference in a better GPU then

#

That's the difference between a 2070 super and 2080 super

maiden wedge
#

I mean. I heard if you want high fps in a lower res it's your processor that matter most. But everything is relative I giest

#

Guess

granite field
#

Or whatever the new cards are

#

So like csgo if you set everything to low at 720p and put a 2080ti in you would probably get 350 fps on Ryzen and 700 on Intel

#

But those are useless frame rates anyway

maiden wedge
#

My original intent was to get a current i5 or i7, as well as a 2070super, make sure my cpu is gonna be good for a long time. Then later upgrade my gpu if I need. But last night everyone told me nooo just get a 3600 and wait for the Nvidia 3000 cards

granite field
#

Both amd and Intel will probably be plenty capable of doing 144 fps on most games, but as tarkov is your main concern and I'm not familiar with how it runs I don't think I can help much

maiden wedge
#

Like trash lol

granite field
#

Lol

maiden wedge
#

Not well optimized

#

Oh well. Thanks for the food for thought

granite field
#

Yeah siding scale man I think I wouls save money on CPU for GPU and or storage

maiden wedge
#

That seems to be the general consensus

granite field
#

But if you wanna go the other way I won't fault you. I went Intel because I record audio and the input latency was lower so I could live monitor my guitar tracking.

#

Pretty much the only thing I was concerned with.

maiden wedge
#

Plus maybe if I got with a 3600 down the line I can upgrade to a 4000 ryzen if they turn out to be good
It will be still compatible with my mobo

granite field
#

Uh maybe

#

Can't absolutely count on that ever, but AMD is much better about that than Intel

maiden wedge
#

I mean they said it will be supported no

granite field
#

I don't know honestly

mild solar
#

Anyone know any good suggestions for a curved display that has G-Sync, is at least 27", is Full HD, is 75Hz+, and is 1920 x 1080, or better, and are sold at a good price?

granite field
#

What's a good price

#

No displays are at a good price right now lol

mild solar
#

At, or below 200

#

If that's a good price range

#

Maybe a bit over but not too much

granite field
#

Should be able to find pretty good stuff there

#

Pcpartpicker is pretty useful got monitors

mild solar
#

Does it give the ability to choose specs of the monitor(s) you're looking for?

covert solstice
#

yes

mild solar
#

Aight

mild solar
#

What would be a good aspect ratio for the price range I mentioned earlier?

sage trail
#

aspect ratio?

#

good luck finding anything other than 16:9

#

the only monitors that arent 16:9 are 1080p or less, 75hz or less

#

and are already quite a few years old

full moat
#

there are a fair number of non 16:9

#

they are not cheap thou

#

i would really like a lot more 16:10 panels thou

mild solar
#

Well Ima have to do this stuff on my laptop when I get time tomorrow, cause it wasn't that great on my phone, so..

whole dust
#

yo guys, so looking for more opinions love_it Acer KG251QJ (TN) for 195USD or AOC 24G2 (IPS) for 215USD

maiden wedge
#

Am I able to use a HDMI on a motherboard without a GPU to configure it

#

Or use something that I can use as a display

granite field
#

What's your CPU bulb

#

Blub

#

And @whole dust I assume those displays have the same resolution and refresh rate?

whole dust
#

1080p 144hz yes

granite field
#

@maiden wedge I ask because Ryzen chips (except the APU skews) don't have onboard video, so even though the Mobo has a port there will be no video signal.

#

@whole dust In that case I think you'd be happier with the IPS display I think, but brightness and contrast ratio both play a role in perceived quality so do you know the nits and contrast specs?

whole dust
#

not really

granite field
#

So the Acer display is brighter at 400 nits compared to 250 on the AOC

#

The AOC claims 2 million: 1 contrast compared to 1000:1 on the Acer

#

Hard to tell based on specs, HDR only kicks in at like 700+ nits I think

#

I defer to someone else's input or your own brand bias.

whole dust
#

honestly I'm not even so sure about colors wise

#

like I don't have much knowledge on it either

granite field
#

I have a TN panel and Im happy with it. I play fps games like overwatch and CSGO. I have not had much experience with an iPs panel

full moat
#

600nits for HDR

#

hence the 3 variants of it

#

600/800/1000 iirc

granite field
#

I think he would probably like 400 nits over 250 right?

full moat
#

depends on a LOT of factors that specs dont show

#

hence why reviews or hands on experience with monitors are key for selecting the right one

granite field
#

Since contrast ratio is still not up to HDR specs based on brightness anyway

full moat
#

neither of those models are HDR monitors

granite field
#

Right, I'm just not sure why the AOC boasts 2m:1 contrast when it's not very bright

full moat
#

keep in mind, a LOT of monitors come factory setup with a silly high brightness and contrast

#

because it makes them "pop"

#

it does not "need" to be very bright

#

a monitor is not meant to be used in a dark room

#

it is NOT a tv

#

yes yes, i know, gamers etc love to sit in a dark room and play games. However, that is not really the intent for a monitor

#

TV ? sure

#

monitor? no.

granite field
#

I can't game in a dark room

#

Every light on i can find lol

#

I play quick twitch fatiguing games as it is though, don't need excess eye strain on top of that

full moat
#

but on the IPS vs TN debate topic. It can be hard to explain, just like how it can be hard to explain the benefit of a SSD to a person who has never tried

#

sure, the numbers look nice.

#

but you cannot convey the "feel" of it

#

i hope that makes sense :)

granite field
#

Sorta, but which is better lmao

full moat
#

just like the ssd example. it depends on the use case

granite field
#

I know just about all the pro fps players are on TN panels, or were the last time they were interviewed

full moat
#

i value the colours from IPS

#

because i actually do other things on my machines than game :)

#

but, that does not make them unsuited for gaming.

granite field
#

But they are all endorsed too

full moat
#

and the IPS tech has evolved a LOT in semi-recent years

covert solstice
#

yeah i was gonna say that its usually sponsored so they cant pick everything

whole dust
#

well I personally play games like Apex or COD most of the times

#

or just browsing

granite field
#

Sorry @whole dust I don't think we've helped much

whole dust
#

watching videos

#

it's alright any help is much appreciated

full moat
#

it isnt something we can really "help" with as such

whole dust
#

I mean it's just yolo innit, 50/50

full moat
#

we can only talk about our experiences on it, and hopefully it gives enough context for @whole dust to make a choice :)

whole dust
#

after buying I can't do much but use it anyways

granite field
#

So I really don't think you're gonna be unhappy with either

covert solstice
#

||ips best no contest jk||

granite field
#

Have you ever used a 144 or other high refresh rate display?

whole dust
#

nope

#

using a Samsung 60hz

#

I think VA

granite field
#

So you're gonna be so overwhelmed by the sheer smoothness, you're not really gonna care about anything else

whole dust
#

hahaha true

granite field
#

I have first hand experience with both AOC and ACER monitors in the past year

#

Both of them had a dead pixel and we're returned to Amazon

full moat
#

not saying that is not relevant, but .... that is not really relevant

#

that is just mas production at scale

granite field
#

Yeah I just thought it was funny

full moat
#

sooner or later it is your turn for getting the dead pixel :)

#

i have lost count of how many monitors i have had pass across my desks over the years

granite field
#

I had one monitor develop a dead pixel, ordered an AOC to replace it, it had a dead pixel, and swapped it for the Acer, which also had a dead pixel lol

full moat
#

(with dead pixels)

granite field
#

Ended up with a monoprice monitor and it actually doesn't suck

whole dust
#

I can run 60hz and 144hz dual monitor display right

full moat
#

yes

granite field
#

Not sure what you're asking there

#

Oh

#

Yeah you can run one at 144 and one at 60

full moat
#

you will most likely have to choose to use the GPU scaler (IF your games misbehave that is)

#

but, dont worry about that for now

whole dust
#

my friend previously had issues with the 144hz going down to 60hz when both monitors have something displayed

#

but I think a windows update fixed that

full moat
#

thats the issue i mentioned above :)

granite field
#

That's weird I've never experienced that

#

Oh

full moat
#

it depends on a bunch of settings and random luck

granite field
#

NVM I had two BenQ 120hz displays way back in the day and have either run 260 or 1144 since

#

Uh

#

Got syntaxed again

#

2 60hz or 1 144hz

mild solar
#

this a good display?

tranquil arch
maiden wedge
#

for 280$ no @mild solar acer sells another one at 1440p IPS 1ms 144hz for 350

mild solar
#

@maiden wedge So there's a monitor better than the one I linked?

maiden wedge
#

yes

mild solar
#

You know the name of it by any chance?

maiden wedge
#

good monitor

tranquil arch
#

@maiden wedge how is that vs the one I linked?

mild solar
#

It compatible with G-Sync?

maiden wedge
#

only freesync

#

@tranquil arch i can't tell if the one you linked is IPS or not so if that one is TN if you like the better color the one i linked is better

tranquil arch
#

Says it's a VA panel, idk what that means

mild solar
#

Oh

#

Well.. any good ones that are compatible with G-Sync, curved, and have the specs the one you showed has?

maiden wedge
#

the one crazy looks good it has gsync compatibility just isn't IPS VA panel is just a medium between TN and IPS

#

IPS looks nice and VA is better contrast and refresh

tranquil arch
#

Ight cool ill keep am eye on it for a sale then. So its kinda a middle ground?

maiden wedge
#

its a good middle ground between TN and IPS yes if you want the Gsync and 19 hz higher refresh rate for 30$ cheaper its a good monitor @tranquil arch

tranquil arch
#

@maiden wedge thats good to know, I'm waiting on the new GPUs/CPUs to come out before I finalize the new build so I'll keep an eye out on both. If I end up going with AMD like planned your is probably the better choice. I'd imagine it's easier to hit 1440p at 144hz then 165 anyway lol

mild solar
#

So the one I sent looks good.. but the panel type isn't the best...

maiden wedge
#

it has higher response lower res and is a VA panel so its not too bad

#

its mainly just the res difference

mild solar
#

How bad is the res, and the fact it's a VA panel

maiden wedge
#

its just 1080p vs 1440p

#

whats your gpu?

tranquil arch
#

Me or ash?

maiden wedge
#

ash

tranquil arch
#

Ok, also it kinda expected that the big navi can run 1440 at 144hz right?

maiden wedge
#

anything past a 2070 super yes so essentially every new gpu coming out this year or in 2021

mild solar
#

I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER Gaming X(MSI variant)

maiden wedge
#

if you're not planning to upgrade don't get the 1440p its not going to run past 60 fps ash

tranquil arch
#

@maiden wedge ight sweet ill keep am eye out on the prices of these guys then and see what happens.

#

Ty sir

mild solar
#

@maiden wedge I am planning on upgrading my GPU later on

maiden wedge

you dont need it :))

maiden wedge
#

I need the best 1080p 144hz+ 32" widescreen monitor any suggestions?

granite field
#

You mean like 16:9 or ultra wide?

#

Because pixel density of a 32" 1080p 16:9 display would be getting pretty sparse

#

I think it may generally be hard to find such a monitor, you'd likely find a 32" 1440p display for the same or less money, just because they would be more available.

But go to pcpartpicker.com and search all the monitors that meet your specs

maiden wedge
#

Ok thanks

#

And ultra wide yes

LG 27inch 27gn750. 244 hz

Fair enough

vg27aq is a really nice monitor tho, it is quite expensive because of that, maybe a bit too expensive

Yea ill probably end up just doing it tho. Im gonna be doing a pretty fairly high end build i would really hate to feel like I wasted money by having a bad picture with a high end GPU

@visual pilot would you happen to know how a return would work thru Amazon if I ended up with dead pixels in that monitor? Would I kinda be forced into buying the replacement plan?

visual pilot

I'm sorry but you'll have to look into that yourself, I just know as an example Newegg has a good dead pixel policy where they'll refund/replace your monitor if there are any dead pixels

tranquil arch

Ok that's super useful! Thank you ill prob just try to stick to them

Their policy used to be like at least 6 dead pixels, but now any dead pixels and you can likely get a return

Thoughts?

Am getting 5 1080p 60hz monitor and a 4k 144hz monitor. I want my rtx 3090 to power the 4k monitor (when I get it obviously) and my 2080 super to power up the other 5 monitors, so I can let my 3090 just use all of its resources on the 4k monitor. The 2080 super only has 4 outputs, I either need a HDMI or DisplayPort splitter (the monitors only use HDMI, not DisplayPort aside from the 4k monitor).

#

What adapters would you guys suggest? I need either a male display port to two female HDMIs, or a male hdmi to two female HDMIs. The female HDMIs will need to both output enough for 60hz obviously

depending on your needs, a MST hub might solve it all

#

from a single card even

inner tree
#

MST hub?

full moat
#

Multi-Stream Transport

#

its a hub for displayPort

#

where it (the hub) splits the signal, so you are running 3 monitors from a single displayport

inner tree
#

Oh, because I already have 2 DP's to HDMIs for 2 of my monitors currently, just using a HDMI to HDMI for the other (currently only have 3, my setup is incomplete).

full moat
#

is there any particular reason you want to use the 2080S in that way (that you outlined above)?

inner tree
#

Because my motherboard doesn't support SLI.

#

that one looks like a direct mirror hub

#

and their text is contradictory

inner tree
#

Wouldn't a USB-C to HDMI work?

full moat
#

only if your mainboard supports routing that particular info across the chipset

inner tree
#

I believe it does

full moat
#

i think, you need to read up on how things work :)

#

because believing is not enough :)

inner tree
#

Does just the motherboard need to support it? Or must the CPU have iGPUs?

Currently, you are asking 3 questions in 1

Aren't I talented?

yes

as long as the gpu and screens support display 1.2 don't go spending more for no reason

I've never heard of running two different cards in non SLI before

Does that even work?

@granite field it does, just can't pool the perf

Was wondering if someone could tell me what they're thoughts about the pixio px278 1440p TN monitor vs their px277 1440p ips monitor l? I see the px277 is 300 from Newegg and the px277 is 330 from Amazon. Didn't know which one was better or if there was a big difference between the two if I'm looking to spend the extra hundred to go from 1080p to 1440p since their 1080p monitor is 200 all 144hz thanks for the info

visual pilot
#

IPS is better :D

neat pilot

Okay for gaming or for better overall color?

want to set my xbox up next to my pc and might stream. Looking around 300$ range.

twin oak
#

for a monitor?

#

@barren knoll

#

if 144 hz is fine with you than get the MSI Optix MAG241C

#

though for streaming you'll need double monitors

#

so get a 60 hz one for chat

#

any 60 hz monitor should do

crystal notch
#

Do you think it would be a good investment to just use a Lepow Monitor for that, and use your main monitor for playing? I'm planning on streaming switch, PC, and VR with my Elgato HD60 S once I build my PC

#

Also, Dos anybody know of a 144hz or similar monitor that has good adjustments for height and whatnot?

#

Most monitors are just, a 'V', and no adjustment

visual pilot
#

what budget, what res

full moat
#

@crystal notch "vesa" mount

#

is what you are looking for

visual pilot
#

That too, but people do like built-in stand adjustments

covert solstice
#

vesa mount are great

#

its like $30 for a decent vesa arm

full moat
#

whatever else the monitor has as specs, just get one that has a vesa mount and you can have it bob to the music if you want

crystal notch
#

ha

#

I'm thinking of a monitor that doesn't surpass $250. and/or a stand that can be added to a good monitor w/ a bad stand

visual pilot
#

@covert solstice go link one, I'm not familiar with vesa arms :P

and I'll go link G241 hehehe

For monitor specs, I am unfamiliar with what exactly are 'Freesync' and 'Gsync' are, but I am perfectly fine with a monitor as low as 120Hz to 144Hz 1080p

#

also, I dont think I need a curved

#

but is always a cool feature

visual pilot
#

I mean it's same price as flat so why not

crystal notch
#

ye

#

I really like that one

#

I saw another one that allot of people favored, but I know its in-demand since the pandemic

#

lemme find it

#

it was the AOC 24G2

visual pilot
#

holy pricing

#

Well, viotek be cheaper as of now.

crystal notch
#

yeAH

#

oops caps

visual pilot
#

the G241 I mentioned before is the MSI G241, pretty good for 190$ 144hz ips panel

but sold out

what about that voitek thing? is that a brand or a model?

visual pilot

viotek brand

covert solstice
#

yea

the panel is just cheaper as of now

I havent done much research into monitors after being caught up in the main research for a PC build

#

cool ill look into it

IPS>VA>TN Is about as much as you need to know before diving deep into the rabbithole

crystal notch
#

will that Viotek GN24CB work with the armstand @covert solstice suggested?

#

theres no pictures of the back of the monitor you sent or aything I know to know if it works together

#

The build I'm planning rn has a color sceme of gunmetal black, white and red accents; most monitors puke R E D on the back and call it a day. Black, grey, and silver accents I feel should just be the monitor norm

#

my must my gaming be r e d

#

anyway, thanks for the advice on what stuff to look at👍

woven garnet
#

$100 gains me IPS but loses the curve and 21 Hz

visual pilot
#

@woven garnet I'd just go VA unless you have something that needs good color.

woven garnet
#

That's what the IPS provides?

#

I've been reading a bit about the IPS vs TN vs VA discussion, but there's a lot to go through

visual pilot
#

IPS provides better color, that's about it

#

I believe better peak brightness too, and (maybe) better dimming and stuff

woven garnet
#

Probably not enough to justify the extra $100. Cool. Well I think I'll go ahead and pull the trigger. And based entirely on your help, I'll be buying from Newegg.

visual pilot
#

Hehe, I don't work for Newegg, I'm not sponsored by Newegg, it's just newegg actually has some of the better prices :D

woven garnet
#

I know, but it's their Discord, and I hope they appreciate that your efforts drive business their way.

Mike seems to like us around, and Newegg support does send people here for tech support so I assume they're seeing what we're doing :D

Does it matter whether a 1440p monitor has a 1.2 display vs a 1.4 display port

quiet depot
#

so I've got a Wali monitor mount with the gas spring and I've tightened the tensioning screw all the way. My monitor just droops though.

#

any ideas?

#

before, my main monitor's bottom edge would line up with my secondary monitor

#

talk with the seller

#

might be that you are above spec or its defective in some way

quiet depot
#

has anyone heard of replacing the gas spring with a sturdier one?

sage trail
#

never heard of a gas spring

#

oh, the thing in a monitor stand?

#

that is designed with the weight of the monitor in mind, so you cant really replace it with anything else

#

oh, that image and text above is yours as well lol

quiet depot
#

ye

sage trail
#

look up the weight of the monitor and the supported weight of the stand

quiet depot
#

it's under

sage trail
#

and it just sinks?

quiet depot
#

like the monitor weighs 17.09, max supported weight is 17.6

sage trail
#

you could probably just return the whole stand if thats the case

quiet depot
#

yes, even after turning the gas spring tensioning screw all the way to the max weight

the worst part is, the desk I have is really thick and this is the only brand with a clamp that's thick enough to hold onto

try turning it all the way the other way

it is very much not helping w holding up the monitor lol

Do you guys trust NCX reviews for monitors?
Looking at an vg259q that he recommends but it ain't cheap

neat pilot

For 300 a piece what would be the better monitor for gaming at 1440p the pixio px278 or the acer Nitro vg270up? Only main difference I can see is the one is a TN and other is ips and brand name otherwise everything else seems the same. Does anyone have experience with either monitor?

whats a good monitor to pair with a 3080? im considering this one but would prefer a 16:10

sadly, 16:10 is dead

the best your gonna get for 16:10 is 1920x1200 at 75hz

i gave up waiting for a decent 5K monitor years ago :/

thats what ive got now

4k 144hz is perfect for the 3080
