If for example, Warzone isn’t hitting 240fps

[dusky nebula]

hz is just showing 240fps

Some pros use 240hz monitors and cap it down to 165hz, etc

[noble dirge]

Oh okay

I’m thinking about the VG259QM

[dusky nebula]

Budget?

[noble dirge]

Good choice? Seems fast

[dusky nebula]

Yea its good

but not in stock

[noble dirge]

Yea it is

BestBuy

Just added a q at the end

[dusky nebula]

hmm

[noble dirge]

Also $400

But I want 1080p IPS

Obv not aiming to spend $400 but if I gotta I will if that makes sense

But if there’s a monitor at an quivalent quality and less then I’d choose that

[dusky nebula]

ok

hold on

yea thats the cheapest option

for ips at least

if u wanna get TN theres a acer monitor for like 270$ so u can buy something else with that money

honestly imo i dont think anyone really needs ips unless your gonna always look at ur monitor at a angle

[noble dirge]

Ohhhh

What about colors? I thought colors look nicer or something

What TN would you recommend

[full moat]

question: What is the content on your monitor made from?

[noble dirge]

? Wym

[full moat]

colours

everything you see on the monitor is made from colours

so yeah, colour reproduction matters

[visual pilot]

@noble dirge I think you might need a better explanation of refresh rate, and how variable refresh rate technology such as G-sync work.

[visual pilot]

@noble dirge How refresh rate works is that's how many times the monitor refreshes, I.E. how many new pictures it shows per second.

[noble dirge]

Mhm

[visual pilot]

FPS is how many of those pictures your GPU provides per second.

So if your FPS is lower than your refresh rate, your monitor might refresh the same frame twice.

[noble dirge]

Ohhhh

[visual pilot]

which can lead to latency since there is a tiny delay before the next frame can be refreshed

but that problem is solved with technology such as G-Sync

[noble dirge]

Iooooo

[dusky nebula]

5head

[visual pilot]

What G-Sync (and other adaptive refresh rate technologies) do, is look at your GPU, and tells your monitor to only refresh when you get a new frame from the GPU.

(simplification of everything ofc, make sure to take a grain of salt)

[noble dirge]

Ohhh I see

[full moat]

@dusky nebula the picture you linked, just like any other picture is conveyed via what?

[noble dirge]

So it wouldn’t increase input lag?

[dusky nebula]

what

[noble dirge]

Wait sorry

Driving

[visual pilot]

It's alright

[dusky nebula]

:monka

[visual pilot]

answer whenever you're able to.

[dusky nebula]

why are u texting and driving

[visual pilot]

red lights and such, leave em be, we can get back to em.

@noble dirge Gamers Nexus made a really good video on latency overall. You should go watch that video at 1.25x speed when you have time, but I'm going to grab some simpler explanation that Nvidia had to help explain some things.

Right here, see how Peripheral latency is completely separate from display/render latency?

[noble dirge]

Lol cuz I’m impatient

I see

Okay

[visual pilot]

This 5 minute section in the GN video
https://youtu.be/0SZ7ZCac38A?t=1052

I think

I'm just skimming through trying to find where he talks about it

[noble dirge]

I just got confused cuz rtings website for example said the native response time or whatever was 8 total but then at 60hz it was super high

But I mean if I’m getting 170fps and can use a 240fps monitor with no problem then I may go for that

240hz*

[visual pilot]

@noble dirge remember to read carefully :D
What RTings tests is Pixel response time, how quickly each pixel changes, not input response time or input latency.

[noble dirge]

Whatttt

Imma look

[visual pilot]

see the "what it is" section?

[noble dirge]

Oh

Yea

[visual pilot]

:)

[noble dirge]

So that doesn’t directly correlate to response time?

Or input lag

Latency*

[visual pilot]

Yea that's the issue with latency in general, that's why GN did a video on it, and Nvidia made a whole page on it here.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/reflex-low-latency-platform/

it's all confusing

same terms are used for multiple things

that's why Nvidia is trying to standardize

[noble dirge]

Lol so simple answer, if I get 240hz monitor with free sync or gsync (might get an AMD GPU) and get 150fps in a game, I’ll be fine?

Won’t affect latency and what not

[visual pilot]

Simple answer, Yes, it'll be just fine.

[noble dirge]

Okay next

Is A good TN better than IPS monitor

[visual pilot]

but when you get some time, it's worth watching that 5 minute section of the video, and read a bit of the page

Not for color

Not for contrast

[noble dirge]

Okay sounds good

Oh okay

Would u recommend the 259QM?

Or should I look into a good 240hz TN

[visual pilot]

ick haven't looked into good 240hz monitors in forever

so I'm gonna go off specs

[noble dirge]

Because a good TN can produce good colors right?

[visual pilot]

RTings has a review on the 259QM
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-gaming-vg259qm

[noble dirge]

Yea they rated it high

[visual pilot]

@noble dirge generally, a really damn good TN might only get close to a decent IPS panel afaik

TN is just known to have bad colors

[noble dirge]

But I read somewhere that a IPS has high latency, do u think something like the 259qm is an exception

[visual pilot]

lol

[noble dirge]

Like does it compete with TN

[visual pilot]

that all depends on panel

[noble dirge]

Damn

[visual pilot]

For example

[noble dirge]

I’m confused cuz I have a TN right now but I don’t want to lose response time or whatever

If I go to IPS

[visual pilot]

that 259QM is in the like 95th percentile for response time for ANY monitor RTINGS has tested

including OLED, TN, VA, IPS, all of em

[noble dirge]

Oh I see

[visual pilot]

A lot of the things depends on the specific panel

and also

[noble dirge]

Sooooo basically I should say screw it and get a 259QM cuz the colors are better AND it’s still very fast

😂

[visual pilot]

@noble dirge the "high latency" thing might apply to earlier IPS panels, and "latency" on monitors is generally people just using bad terms to refer to pixel response time.

I say there's a 99% chance it will be.

[noble dirge]

Ohhhh

Hmmmm

If u were me, would u look for a TN that is 240hz

[visual pilot]

Nope

I stray away from recommending TN panels at all times

[noble dirge]

Lol

Cuz the color?

Also, on rtings, what does it mean when they talk about @ 60hz

Like why does the number increase dramatically

[visual pilot]

They need standardized testing to test response time for all monitors, despite their varying refresh rates

[noble dirge]

Oh I see

[visual pilot]

and I assume higher refresh rates usually make the pixels change faster to achieve the faster refresh rates

resulting in faster pixel response times

[noble dirge]

Ohhh

Hmmm I wish they showed 144hz

[visual pilot]

I mean

how would they test 60hz monitors then :P

[noble dirge]

Wait nvm I don’t need to change it

[visual pilot]

and afterall, you'll be using it at max refresh rate anyways

[noble dirge]

Yea true

[visual pilot]

ofc I'm simplifying a ton of things

[noble dirge]

So gsync works with that big of a difference , like 240hz n 150 FPS

[visual pilot]

mhm

[noble dirge]

Wow

[visual pilot]

gsync and freesync's range is usually like 40-280hz or something like that

[noble dirge]

People need to put it in simple terms

[visual pilot]

eh

monitors are complex things

putting it in simpler terms like I am can lead to confusion and misconceptions, but it gets you half of the way there.

[noble dirge]

The 259QM is for sale at Best Buy for $319, should I wait to see if there’s discounts or do high end monitors not usually get that

[visual pilot]

looking at a bit of price history, look like 320$ is good nuff

[noble dirge]

Ighttt

🙏🏼 thank you

[visual pilot]

~300$ for good 1080p240hz is pretty standard anyways

You're welcome

[noble dirge]

Oh I see

[visual pilot]

take a look at the latency things at some point

[noble dirge]

Free sync vs gsync

Difference?

[visual pilot]

One uses AMD GPUs, the other Nvidia.

[noble dirge]

Oh

Okay

I think AMD GPU is the move this year

[visual pilot]

Wait for benchmarks :D

By the way, that monitor is G-sync compatible, like most Freesync monitors, so it can still use G-sync just fine.

[noble dirge]

Yeppp unless it sells out! I might just buy the highest version then wait and see if I should return

[visual pilot]

Don't preorder or any of that yet

Remember, a lot of crap can go wrong on launch day

[noble dirge]

So don’t get the monitor?

Or you’re saying don’t buy the GPU at launch?

[visual pilot]

@noble dirge Examples :
Last year AMD launch driver issues
This year Nvidia RTX 3080 driver issues

Yea don't buy GPU at launch

and try not to buy monitor until you have something to test it with @noble dirge

[full moat]

rather @visual pilot

[noble dirge]

Ah okay

[full moat]

he should check in here on the 29th :)

[visual pilot]

Mhm, check back in once we get reviews and stuff

[noble dirge]

Oh okay

29th of this month?

[visual pilot]

@full moat maybe a bit after for when they actually release to people so problems can pop up

[noble dirge]

Tbh I just don’t want to miss out and it end up being good then waiting longer

Because I bought my other parts

Just need the CPU and GPU

[visual pilot]

oof :(

[noble dirge]

Gonna get the 5600x

Or some hint

Something

[visual pilot]

We'll see on performance

[noble dirge]

When does it launch

November?

[visual pilot]

ick I don't remember xD

[noble dirge]

Have they fixed the drivers on the 3080s?

Like does it take awhile for drivers to be fixed?

[full moat]

aye, true @visual pilot

[visual pilot]

I think the 3080 driver thing is resolved now right Naed?

[full moat]

i do believe the reviewers will be looking for blood this time around thou @visual pilot

[visual pilot]

At first we thought it was capacitor issues, but then they say it really was a driver issue and got patched right?

[full moat]

they turned down the way it boosts via a driver

[visual pilot]

alright

[full moat]

and yes, it should be fixed

should being the keyword

[visual pilot]

ofc

[noble dirge]

But I’m fine to purchase the 5600x right @visual pilot ? Because I was gonna purchase the 3700x but if the 5600x gives better FPS I may do that

However, is 3700 better from streaming probably ? Or hard to guess?

[visual pilot]

Might want to chill and wait for benchmarks either way

[rustic basin]

5600x is better in pretty much all cases whether it be single or multi core

[full moat]

and you know this how?

just @ me

[full moat]

however much/little you value it at.

[fossil gust]

🤔

I'm thinking about selling it but I wasn't the one who bought it so I don't really know a fair price

i suppose an ebay auction would probably work

[full moat]

try and have a look around at what it has been sold for before

and go from that perhaps :)

Is this a good resolution for a screen that big?

I’m trying to decide if I want an ultra wide or get two monitors

[visual pilot]

For UW it's fine

[tidal stump]

Ok cool, I’ve been using my old monitor for quite a while now lol

[charred rain]

general rule of thumb (my opinion) for monitor sizes: 24" max for 1080, 27" or 32" for 2k, 27" and up for 4k.

[visual pilot]

Gonna use a PPI calculator :

[charred rain]

^^

[visual pilot]

so uh

30in UW is higher PPI

[charred rain]

i know

but sometimes it's nicer to have that 5' bigger screen lol

[visual pilot]

so you might want to say "24in max for 16:9 1080p" or say ignoring UW monitors at the end

or maybe not

[maiden wedge]

1440p 165hz for 3080?

[tidal stump]

Is there a certain ppi you look to stay above?

That’s a pretty neat chart showing the different resolutions at once lol

[fossil gust]

@tidal stump like said above, 24'" is the largest you wanna go with 1080p and 32 inches is the high end for 1440p. Those both turn out around 92-95 ppi so that's probably the number you wanna stay at or above

[charred rain]

@maiden wedge es

1440p 144hz best for 3080 gamin

[fading pivot]

can i use my laptop as a second monitor for my pc?

i have an hdmi cable, can i use my laptop as a second screen?

[languid grotto]

Are viewsonic monitors good?

[fleet spade]

what should i value more, response time or refresh rate in a monitor?

and should i really care about g-sync compatibility

[willow hemlock]

refresh rate is much more valuable

you really dont need to too much

[fleet spade]

oh okok thx

[tidal stump]

@fading pivot your laptop most likely only has an hdmi out port, not hdmi in so you cannot input signals to the laptop to use it as a second screen

[native quartz]

you can connect to a laptop over the internet with windows as long as you are using it as a second display and not the primary one

[fading pivot]

can i do that if my laptop has wifi but my pc has ethernet?

[rotund gate]

Is this the correct forum to ask the following......I have the following set-up
A Personal PC, Dual Monitors, Monitor1 is DVI, Monitor2 is VGA
and a work Laptop with Port Replicator, Dual Monitors, Monitor1 is Mini DisplayPort, Monitor2 is VGA
I want to connect both, through a switch, so I can use ONE set of dual monitors.

Can I use a IOGEAR GCS1742, by connecting Personal PC to a DVI to VGA adaptor then VGA to VGA and then on the Laptop Port Replicator, use a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor, then VGA to VGA?

[full moat]

@rotund gate got your question covered in the #graphics-cards channel :)

[rotund gate]

Thank you Naed, I was under the impression that I posted it in the wrong forum

[azure ledge]

I am at 96 F and I get like 130 then drops to like 53 when i start moving around any help?

[visual pilot]

use Celsius

[deep fern]

Bad temps in F are above 200, you dont want near 200

And yes, C better, more standard

[visual pilot]

Mhm

[azure ledge]

What should i put my preformance on for AIO

@deep fern I am at 36 C

and i am getting back fps still like it drops so low

[deep fern]

There are many reasons that can cause fram drops, but 36c is more than fine

[azure ledge]

yea i know they told me to get a aio to fix it and i did and it did fix it but now its doing it again

[full moat]

take that up with the vendor that you bought the machine from @azure ledge

based on my experience with your machine. You might want to start cultivating a good relationship with their support staff.

[maiden wedge]

if i get a native 1440p monitor and plug my switch in and play at 1080p will that 1080p look bad?

[full moat]

depends on the built-in scaler

[maiden wedge]

ok thanks

[maiden wedge]

Do most monitors have 10bit or do I have specifically look for it?

[deep fern]

most are 8bit iirc

[median mantle]

I mean 1440P best resolution tbh.

[fringe ridge]

i bought a 240hz monitor and changed the display settings for 240hz but it still seems a bit laggy and the mouse has trails... is this true 240hz or do I need to do something else other than change the windows display settings? the HDMI connection supports 240hz and so does my mobo

@ me if you're responding ill be playing runescape 😄

[full moat]

@fringe ridge a monitor that is running a 240hz does not prevent you from supplying content that is running at below 240frames

[fringe ridge]

right right but even on desktop moving my windows and cursor around it has trails

[full moat]

[maiden wedge]

Guys I have a desk that’s attached to a wall and I don’t really want to mount my monitors to my wall so does anybody have a good recommendation of a dual monitor arm that sticks to the top of a des with adhesive or another idea that could work?

[full moat]

adhesive wont work.

gravity will work against you

so, unless you are willing to drill/screw in the arms to the top of the desk OR go for arms with a stand

you are out of luck :)

(for the lurkers, yes there are adhesive-like materials that will work. but you wont EVER get the stand removed from the table again if you use those)

[north cedar]

Will 1080p look worse on a 1440p monitor than on a 1080p monitor?

[full moat]

depends on the scaler in the 1440p

but generally yes

[north cedar]

ok

[maiden wedge]

@full moat I’ll probably drill it in with something beneath the desk like a block of wood or something for sturdiness

[full moat]

do you have one of the sides of the table free @maiden wedge ?

because IF you do, you could go with a clamp style like what @shadow crown uses on his setup

#peripherals-and-displays message

he was kind enough to do a video where you can see it more clearly

[maiden wedge]

@full moat no unfortunately not it’s a perfect fit with 3 walls

[full moat]

hm

yes, then drilling through is the sensible option

remember to use a wide force off load if you can

and remember spacers between the bolts and the offloader

[shadow crown]

@maiden wedge get a bolt-through arm

something like this lol

or you can drill a big enough hole just so any clamp-style arm will work because theyre more popular and accessible

[maiden wedge]

Can I buy a 144hz monitor at either 1080p or 1440p if I plan on enabling the 120hz mode on the next gen consoles?

[oak shard]

Can someone link me a 144hz monitor for around $140

[amber marten]

any ideals for a themed monitor for the Asus Tuf 3080 https://www.newegg.com/black-asus-tuf-gaming-vg32vq1b-32/p/N82E16824281075

@maiden wedge hey I bought four of those Pixio monitors for the kids intel builds, was a great deal at Ebay

[maiden wedge]

Wow great deal

My 1 monitor I'm buying is half that 😂 but it's 1440p 165 hz so that's why

[amber marten]

My 1080p 144 hz 27 inch Acer is going to my retro i7 4790k/Asus z97 Mark S Sabertooth.

So the new monitor above is for my Asus X570 Tuf Gaming Wifi/Ryzen 3600XT I want to plant a Tuf 3080 in to finish the build..

So the monitor is to remove any vga bottlenecks.

[fading mauve]

i have a build planned with a 3070, but i don't know what monitor to get. currently deciding between a 1080p 280hz and 1440p 144hz. any thoughts?

[coral path]

Gigabyte G27QC vs AOC CQ27G2

which one should i go for

[solid nest]

i have a build planned with a 3070, but i don't know what monitor to get. currently deciding between a 1080p 280hz and 1440p 144hz. any thoughts?
@fading mauve depends

are you competitively gaming? if no then go 1440p 144hz

Gigabyte G27QC vs AOC CQ27G2
@coral path AOC, with Gigabyte, you're paying a extra 50 dollars for 165 hertz instead of 144 and free-sync premium instead of normal freesync, which imo isn't worth it

[coral path]

@solid nest but which one is brighter? Cause i have AOC c24g1 which my problem is that its dark. So im selling this to upgrade.

And what do you use? or what can you recommend under 300 1440p, 144hz ,1ms curved

[solid nest]

i use a 60 hertz monitor lol

@solid nest but which one is brighter? Cause i have AOC c24g1 which my problem is that its dark. So im selling this to upgrade.
@coral path in that case, go for the gigabyte then

[coral path]

@solid nest Oh i see, thanks

[solid nest]

the Acer VG270U Pbmiipx has everything you need for 295 dollars

1 ms, 1440p, 1ms, and ips panel

it isn't curved though

the cheapest option with a curved screen would be the msi optix

for 400 dollars

AOC sells a CQ32G1 for like 330 dollars i think

but that's a VA panel

[coral path]

Oh ive seen it

[solid nest]

mhmm

[coral path]

Im looking either G2 of AOC instead of its G1 series

[solid nest]

ok

[coral path]

so its either gigabyte with hdr,165,brighter it seems or AOC CQ32G2S

which is 339 so yeah, guess il just see on black friday

[solid nest]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Monitor/G32QC#kf check this one out

it's the 32 inch variant of your gigabyte monitor

[coral path]

oh yeah forgot about that one.

hmm well now, since il just decide which one then

from 27in to 32 now

[solid nest]

ok

[native quartz]

wait gigabyte makes monitors

how did i not know about this

[deep fern]

They started monitors maybe 1-2 year ago

[maiden wedge]

I've been looking into monitors for a while and I kind of landed on the Aorus FI27Q-P. I'm going to be upgrading my PC in about half a year, and I'll be keeping my old 1080p monitor as a secondary for discord and everything else.

[full moat]

not crts

(that i am talking about)

https://www.ebay.com/c/1103496617 <- something like that @maiden wedge

[sage trail]

yeah lol, i have a 4:3 LCD i use for all sorts of server stuff

[maiden wedge]

yeah something like that

[sage trail]

the stand on that one is annoying tho

[maiden wedge]

neat

[full moat]

models like that one should be plenty full on facebook etc etc

[full moat]

@sage trail if you mean it can be used to hammer in nails with? then yes, i agree

[maiden wedge]

27$ O.o

[sage trail]

this one is suuuuper light

[full moat]

notice, its a Grade C @maiden wedge

so keep that in mind

[maiden wedge]

grade b?

[full moat]

sorry, yes

[maiden wedge]

DELL MNMTG E1715Sc 17" LCD Monitor - Grade B 1280x1024 + VGA & Power Cables

lol

[full moat]

same deal :)

[maiden wedge]

desctiption says c

weird

Grade B are in good condition. Screens may have small scuffs and scratches or light localized shadows. These blemishes are not easily noticeable when the screen is powered on with a “busy” background, but may be noticeable with a solid color background or when powered off. The monitor stands and plastic housing might have moderate scratches. While we make every effort to detect defective pixels, they may still be present in monitors in this category.

[full moat]

the general idea is that searching for the 4:3 aspect brings you to monitors like that one

[sage trail]

thats just an explanation of what the grades mean

[maiden wedge]

yeah

[sage trail]

tbh, its an ebay monitor, expect it to have scratches n stuff

[maiden wedge]

oh crap

https://www.ebay.com/p/112167134?iid=133545928355

the store near me has this

exact one

[sage trail]

fb marketplace or craigslist tho, you can get some good stuff

[maiden wedge]

i forgot about it

for literally 15$

[full moat]

but keep in mind, they are near indestructible on the construction itself

which is part of why Dell monitors are so beloved by technicians across the globe

same goes for HP monitors from that period

[sage trail]

https://syracuse.craigslist.org/sys/d/clay-acer-17-monitor/7195449399.html

near me, probably not you

but good example

[maiden wedge]

Its drivable

but not worth it

lol

when I can drive 3 miles away

thanks guys

i completely forgot about my local store

XD

[sage trail]

yeah i figured that

[maiden wedge]

onlt 400 miles

lol

[full moat]

you are very welcome @maiden wedge

best of luck with the project

[maiden wedge]

i have everything else all set

just need to set a static ip

lol cause the ip keeps changing

[full moat]

remember to pickup a spare cable for the monitor (jn case you dont have one already)

just in case :)

[maiden wedge]

i have plenty of them

roommates dad gave me a bunch of computer stuff

sadly no monitors

lol

Is 1080p 60fps enough for gaming?

I have $600 and I don't know if I should buy a 2k 144hz monitor or a digital PS5.

[solid nest]

if you have 600 to spend on your pc and like 150-200 for your monitor, then 144 hertz 1080p is worth it

[visual pilot]

@maiden wedge what pc do you have rn?

[maiden wedge]

@visual pilot right now I have i5-4670 with Radeon R9 fury but I'm gonna upgrade it very soon to i5-10600k with rtx 2070 super.

Plus 16GB ram of course

[visual pilot]

eek

@maiden wedge you sure you can't try to get a 3070?

[deep fern]

3070 much more worth, get ready tmrw xD

[quaint jay]

does anyone know what power adapter comes with this- https://www.newegg.com/compaq-q2009-20/p/N82E16824195007

[static magnet]

Anyone know a good gaming ultrawide, which dosent cost more than 1k?

[maiden wedge]

@visual pilot next year maybe.

[visual pilot]

hai

@maiden wedge so why the upgrade to 2070 super?

I would not get 1440p144hz for a r9 fury

and 2070 super is kinda a horrible buy rn

[maiden wedge]

Because my budget won't allow any card higher then 2070 super

And I can't buy the new cards in my country

It's not supported by Nvedia or AMD for that matter

[visual pilot]

Where?

[sacred tartan]

144 hz 1440 or 60 at 4k?

[maiden wedge]

@visual pilot middle east.

[visual pilot]

Where exactly

I know amazon.de can ship to saudi, for example.

[maiden wedge]

I live in saudi

[visual pilot]

check then

I've had people tell me to find them parts on amazon.de because they can ship there

@sacred tartan 144hz is much nicer

[sacred tartan]

ok ok

[visual pilot]

gud 1440p144hz monitor on amazon.de for example

[silk nest]

how do i swap my displays to make my main display 1 and 2nd display 2

[sage trail]

it shouldnt make a difference

[silk nest]

it does cuz it switches my shortcuts to second monitor

[sage trail]

then set the display that you want your taskbar and shortcuts on as your primary display

[silk nest]

how

[sage trail]

in windows settings

[silk nest]

k

[sage trail]

settings, system, then select the monitor you want to set as primary

[silk nest]

did it

[sage trail]

scroll down to bottom, select make this my main display

[silk nest]

i wasn't seeing the setting

[teal tangle]

27" 1440p monitor. Curved or flat?

[charred rain]

@teal tangle whatever you prefer

or is price is an object, whichever is cheaper

if it's 27" 1440p 144hz, don't pay more than 400

[nimble patrol]

Any good 144 hz curved monitors within a 100 to 140$ price range?

[charred rain]

@nimble patrol nothing good; or curved. this fits within your price range, but I wouldn't really reccomend it. https://www.newegg.com/p/3D4-000W-00085?Item=9SIA6BMBGS8220
However- I do reccomend this: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824737004?Item=N82E16824737004

if you can go 20$ above the budget

[nimble patrol]

I could

[charred rain]

then do the second one

[nimble patrol]

Thanks

[teal tangle]

@charred rain follow up, would running two monitors with different native resolutions hurt my gpu any?

[charred rain]

no

it'll make ur life a little headache tho

bc windows cant recongize screen sizes

[teal tangle]

Ok cause im ordering my new monitor and gonna use the old as like the one discord sits on while im gaming

[charred rain]

bruhh

@teal tangle why isn't that your main?

that's such a good monitor

[teal tangle]

@charred rain Nono thats gonna be my new main

My current is a 1080p 60hz monitor I've had for a few years

[rare mauve]

My new high refresh rate monitor o.~

A whole 75hz (had to run tests at 70hz for camera)

Fresh from 1998 lol

Omg oof

Its kind of fun lol

[elder fulcrum]

If i want to get a 4K monitor but since most GPUs yet are only hitting 60fps. Why would I get something that’s more than 60hz

I’m just curious on why or why not get 60hz

[hot forum]

er

are you asking whether or not to get a 60hz refresh rate monitor?

usually people go for higher refresh rate monitors because you get better fps

i mean that's the definition, it's the number of times it'll refresh every second

uhh and in terms of resolution i would only go for a 4k monitor if you REALLY want a pretty resolution and experience

a lot of gaming will run better with 1080p or 1440p monitors

just because there's less dots to load for each frame and so it makes it so that you can get better frames for the same gpu

[charred oyster]

Whats a reputable monitor brand that doesnt have trashy dead pixel policy like requiring at least 5 dead pixels to exchange for example.

[deep fern]

err i wouldnt decribe it as higher refresh rate means better fps, it’s more of the fps that you see, you could get high fps on any depending on the gpu, but a good mid ground would be a 1440p 144hz ips panel

gigabyte,msi have had interesting monitors recently. You can check their dead pixel policies on website

[hot forum]

yeah, sorry, i might have phrased that badly, higher refresh rate just gives you the ability to reach higher fps, the fps itself is still based on your pc

[charred oyster]

is the viewsonic vx2758-2kp-mhd good? since its one of the cheaper options for 1440p 144hz ips monitors

(totally didnt copy paste the name off google)

[brave cipher]

Getting my g7 32 inch back in few days samsung replaced board n something else, maybe it wont gsync flicker now

Only issue as everyone knows was the gsync flicker

That seams to be panel and board it seams

[balmy shoal]

are there any 1440p monitors below $200

[undone yoke]

some are usually under 250 idk about that low

[elder fulcrum]

Is there any big difference between 1440p and 4K?

Also is a gsync monitor worth the extra premium or is normal good enough

[scarlet wagon]

Hi, i had built new gaming PC got parts from new egg installed windows it booted fine and we could able to login fine in 2 days it started flickering and everything is Red display did anyone got this ?

[odd echo]

if everything is red id think it is an issue with the video cable or monitor

@scarlet wagon

[signal island]

are potrait monitors stupid

[deep fern]

can be very helpful in some use cases

[signal island]

lets say i have a smaller desk and i do mainly gaming what would be the best

[uneven sentinel]

would a 27" and a 24" look fine in my room for a dual monitor setup
both same brand

just different sizes

[terse mantle]

@uneven sentinel how much space do you have and are you gonna put on vertical

[teal tangle]

So guys my main monitor is an asus 1080p 60Hz monitor and I just ordered a new monitor, the Gigabyte G27QC, the asus will be my main for gaming while that gigabyte will be my second for browser windows and discord 🙂

[terse mantle]

r u gonna turn it up and down?

for discord

[tidal stump]

@signal island definitely landscape orientation for games/movies

I use a portrait so I can see full word documents/pdfs on one page so it’s more for productivity not entertainment

[uneven sentinel]

Thoughts? I don't know to much about monitors

[maiden wedge]

is the alienware aw2521hf a good monitor

[rustic basin]

Which panel type is best for gaming

[visual pilot]

none

specs

:P

[terse mantle]

ips has better colors

[dusky nebula]

there is no best panel type

[violet osprey]

it depends

[dusky nebula]

Its preference

[violet osprey]

for gaming it doesn't matter that much

[dusky nebula]

And for “gaming” ur going for the highest hz

So probaly tn

If u can get ips

If u have 500$ to spend get benq 240hz with dyac

Or just get asus tuf 280hz ips for like 350$

[violet osprey]

just wait for asus 360hz availability

ips and refresh rate so high its unnoticable

yeah honestly @rustic basin it doesn't matter that much. just go for low response time and high refresh with a panel that is bright enough that you can see everything

thats all there is to it

[ivory mulch]

mmm lucky your even choosing between the 2, I have a 1080p 60Hz

i say 1440p

[sacred goblet]

well my laptop has a 1660ti so ima try going with the 1440p 120hz

can a 1660ti keep up with 120hz 1440p??

[willow hemlock]

[hot forum]

what's everyone's take on the size a monitor should be? i currently have two 27 inch monitors but im looking into buying one higher refresh rate monitor but im wondering if i should stick with a 27 inch one or if i should size it down

for gaming purposes, that is

right now both of my monitors are just 60hz monitors for working, since my dad had extra lying around from his workplace

so i just overclocked one of them to like 90hz and use that for gaming but i wanna buy just one monitor as my main gaming monitor

[zealous wigeon]

I prefer 34"

[eager sinew]

I use 34” 3440x1440. Really nice to play with. Some games don’t support 21:9 though so you gotta deal with that or try to mod it.

[charred rain]

I use 34” 3440x1440. Really nice to play with. Some games don’t support 21:9 though so you gotta deal with that or try to mod it.
@eager sinew how is it? I was thinking of getting a 34" monitor.

I know it's giant compared to my measly 4k 27" monitor

[dusty island]

Doesn’t it kinda depend on what resolution you play in, 24” recommended for 1080p, 27” 1440p, and 32” 4K due to pixel density? I’m not sure how big of a difference that makes since I have 32” 1440p lmao. But I bought it before knowing all of this, and it could likely just boil down to individual preferences or very mild differences that would only be noticeable to trained eyes

[charred rain]

@dusty island for reference anything less than the density of 4k 27" at monitor distance hurts my eyes

[dusty island]

Gotcha gotcha

[charred rain]

ik i'm picky xD

I just hate antialiasing

[eager sinew]

Yeah the ultrawides are pretty sweet. I love the extra fov in games

I haven’t played anything in 4K so I can’t really give a comparison there

It’s a lot like having two 4:3 monitors stacked next to eachother

Just one screen

I’m planning on having a main good pretty monitor and a cheaper one for productivity. So ima go with the G27q

But i am gonna go for refresh rate

[keen raven]

the AOC looks pretty good, but still a lil outta my price range

[thin swallow]

worth it when u can have 144hz to get up to

[keen raven]

budget is only sitting it 250-75

[torn wolf]

worth it when u can have 144hz to get up to
@thin swallow you could have got too but you chose screen size

[ruby kelp]

Oh wow

[maiden wedge]

eh

1080p

[buoyant rampart]

It’s 1440p

[maiden wedge]

No

the other one

[buoyant rampart]

Oh

[ruby kelp]

That seems like a much greater deal than mine

Maybe I should get it too

[buoyant rampart]

I mean it’s mono price so the quality might be weird

[ruby kelp]

true I don't even know the company tbh

[maiden wedge]

look for this monitor model at whatever retailer you plan to buy from

[ruby kelp]

Cool I'll check it out

I've heard that the biggest you can go on 1080p is 24 inches without bothering you, is it true?

[sage trail]

yeah pretty much

unless you sit far away from the monitor

then 27 inch 1080p is fine

[elfin violet]

So I game and edit video and photo and I need a 4k monitor, because 4k monitors with refresh rate over 60hz are so expiansive I was thinking about getting a tv with 4k 120hz capability, is there a reason I shouldnt or is there a big difference between a monitor and tv

?

[sage trail]

TVs that are 120hz usually arent 120hz

they are interlaced, or, "120hz"

real 120hz tvs cost way more than fake ones

and way more than 120hz 4k monitors

So I’m looking on Newegg and there is an asus monitor that is 144hz it’s $50 dollars cheaper than the 165hz one I was gonna get but I was gonna get two would not paying $100 dollars for 165 hz be worth it

[visual pilot]

what

[pine pebble]

So would I’m asking is it worth it to pay and extra $100 for 25hz

Or is 144hz fine

[visual pilot]

@faint locust

it's not worth paying too much more for 165hz than 144hz if that's the only difference

[supple spire]

Think about it marginally, if the difference percent is greater in frames than in price, it makes sense

It might not be in this case, but you could be going with less dollars per frame with the higher

(I didn't check the links)

[pine pebble]

I just noticed the cheaper one is 24” while the more expensive one is 27” but I’m sure that’s not that big of a deal

This is the one I was talking about

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824475043?&quicklink=true

This is the 165hz one

Does anyone know when the 360hz will restock?

[cyan jungle]

Does anyone know when the 360hz will restock?
@maiden wedge why do you need this

[sweet hemlock]

is there a big different between 2k and FHD?

[finite bough]

I might be wrong but I think HD is more to do with colour accuracy and 2k is just the pixel count

@sweet hemlock

[boreal badger]

XIAOMI Curved Gaming Monitor 34-Inch 3440 * 1440 WQHD does anyone have any experience with this monitor?

its 370 usd 😮

[coral path]

Any recommendations of a dual monitor arm? For Gigabyte G27QC 27" and AOC G24G1?

[maiden wedge]

@sweet hemlock FHD is 1080p (1920x1080), 2K is 1440p (2560x1440).

[tidal stump]

I think QHD is more commonly used for 2K

[maiden wedge]

When will 360hz restock?

[hardy apex]

Sup gamers. I've been looking for a while out of curiosity but I can't seem to find OLED gaming monitors. Do those exist? If so my sweet spot would be :

• QHD (2560 × 1440)
• 144Hz
• 1ms
• OLED (because it apparently has all the advantages of IPS, TN and VA)
• Display Port (or HDMI)
• (USB Hub + video output for other displays)

[visual pilot]

get rid of oled

and slap in IPS

and you get yourself some good monitors

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012018

@hardy apex like this

[hardy apex]

I thought OLED was better than IPS

But it hasn't spread to gaming monitors so much yet apparently

[visual pilot]

well

until it's a gaming monitor with specs I can compare

It's not an option imo

[hardy apex]

Does the panel type really I fluence the dark colors

[visual pilot]

?

the panel itself specifically does

[daring drum]

I got a VA monitor and I miss my IPS 😔

[hardy apex]

I often play horror games but I like some fast paced games too

[visual pilot]

IPS is really good for color reproduction

[hardy apex]

I mean if the difference is that noticeable

Cause after research IPS is apparently the one that reproduces colors the least faithfully

[visual pilot]

excuse me?

[daring drum]

I disagree

[visual pilot]

IPS is supposed to be the best for color reproduction

[hardy apex]

Ah alright thanks

[visual pilot]

then VA, then TN at the bottom

[daring drum]

I've never had an OLED, but my IPS has been the besst monitor I've ever had so far

[visual pilot]

I don't think OLED gaming monitors are a thing yet for us consumers

[hardy apex]

Okay cool then that fixes my main problem

See you later oled

[visual pilot]

Mhm, if they're great, we'll be seeing them in markets in a few years

[hardy apex]

Oled tvs are a thing and I'm quite surprised that hasn't reached gaming monitors yet after all the positive feedback I've read

[daring drum]

Maybe price?

[hardy apex]

For sure

That's probably the best reason out there

[sonic burrow]

OLED gaming monitors aren't really a thing, too many issues with response time and burn it to work well for PC screens

they're working on "fixing" it though (they being panel manufacturers)

[hardy apex]

Yeah I was just curious cause I have a 1650 (which I'm not reaching crazy fps with) and a very standard FHD 60Hz. But an upgrade will most likely come sooner or later

[sonic burrow]

well up until the 30 series made 4k/60 reasonable I'd always said that 1440p/144Hz IPS was the sweet spot for gaming. Now I'm not super sure XD

[hardy apex]

Standing less than a meter from a huge screen is not my thing lol

[daring drum]

I love my 27" 1080p 144hz IPS monitor, and I'd recommend it any day tbh

[hardy apex]

Yeah I've realized it was the best option

[sonic burrow]

I also have a 20-something inch 1440/144 monitor, XD

liked it so much I bought a second one for the significant other

[hardy apex]

Sick. I have a 4k TV to stream my games onto for whoever is lying on my bed lol

[daring drum]

I wanted a bigger one, so I went with a 32" 1440p 144hz VA monitor, and I'm kinda disappointed after having an IPS for a long time now

[hardy apex]

They're more expensive right? VA over IPS

[daring drum]

which?

I'm not sure honestly

But at the time I bought it, there wasn't any IPS that offered what I wanted, so I went with VA instead, and I don't know how I feel about it ^^

[visual pilot]

VA is usually cheaper

[daring drum]

Or I guess there was none available, and I'm kinda impatient

[visual pilot]

Imo, it's IPS>VA>TN

[daring drum]

I could return my VA, but the return cost would make it not worth it anymore tbh

[visual pilot]

@hardy apex what price monitor are you looking for?

[hardy apex]

Max 300€

But I'm not buying yet

I'll wait for a 30 series card

[visual pilot]

300 euros? alright

@hardy apex what country?

[hardy apex]

Belgium

Lol the flag

[visual pilot]

gotcha

[hardy apex]

Also not curved

Very important

I hate curved monitors

[visual pilot]

I'll be back

[daring drum]

@plain coyote I can recommend the Asus one

[visual pilot]

eek

G27qc is good but curved I think

https://www.alternate.be/html/product/1649988

[plain coyote]

Do you have the ASUS one

[daring drum]

@hardy apex Did you want an IPS? It'd be important to mention it ^^

It's very similar, but I got it before their TUF lineup

[visual pilot]

maybe this
https://azerty.nl/product/aoc/4090842/q27g2u-bk-led-monitor-27-va

it's VA

but it's in your budget...

@plain coyote you want a UK 400 GBP 1440p144hz monitor?

[hardy apex]

Yeah IPS preferably

[visual pilot]

IPS is better so more expensive :(

[daring drum]

I'd figure it'd be hard to go under 300 for everything you want

[hardy apex]

Yeah

It's no big deal tho

[daring drum]

Do you have an IPS monitor?

[hardy apex]

Not even sure

[plain coyote]

The one you have is it 1440p @daring drum

[visual pilot]

@plain coyote take a look at this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08DL3QVD9

[hardy apex]

Ah

[visual pilot]

IPS 1440p144hz

[hardy apex]

Can't send Samsung links

[visual pilot]

310GBP

[daring drum]

My 1440p is VA 32", not the IPS 27"
My IPS is 1080p

[hardy apex]

Omg

[plain coyote]

I was going to get that one but not now @visual pilot

[visual pilot]

?

why?

G27q is so nice at the price

[plain coyote]

I going to save a bit more for the better monitor

Btw @daring drum do you notice the difference between 1080p and 1440p and is it Worth it

[daring drum]

it also depends on the monitor size

I'd say I noticed it in some games

and some it didn't make that much of a difference

If you have the budget, and the hardware to handle it, i'd say go for 1440p

[plain coyote]

Ok I’m going maybe goting to got a 3070 or a 6800 and I have a ryzen 2600x

[daring drum]

Yeah.. I have a 9700k and a 2070 and most games run smooth at 100+ FPS in 1440p , so you'll be fine ^^

[plain coyote]

Ok thanks

[daring drum]

You're welcome, hopefully it helps!

[maiden wedge]

i just ordered a odyssey g7

32in babyyyy

[daring drum]

Noice!

Mine is also 32" and it's huge!

[smoky smelt]

Is 27” 1440p 144hz good for gaming

[daring drum]

Short answer, yes

[smoky smelt]

What is the long answer

[daring drum]

well a lot of it depends on your needs, budget, and expectations in a way

But yes, this is a safe bet imo

[smoky smelt]

Yeah the monitor is 234 bucks

[daring drum]

Whats the response time and panel?

[smoky smelt]

1ms and is panel like lcd, led, etc.?

[daring drum]
