Yo are refurbished monitors risky

tame swallow
#

Ips is preferred over VA right?

pine pebble
#

And does a 24 inch compared to 27 inch make that much of a diffrence

vivid ravine
#

what is the best cheapest monitor

terse mantle
#

for what hz and lenght

#

ips?

#

1ms?

vivid ravine
#

60hz 1ms or 10 if thats a thing

#

#

max budget is 150CAD

terse mantle
#

cad

#

idk what a cad usd is

#

115

zealous wigeon

Hey y’all, any recommendations for a monitor in the $100-150 price range? (Gaming, high hertz preferably)

celest lichen
#

Im looking into buying the Acer Nitro XV270 but I have a nvidia graphics card, currently im working with a gtx1060 and im upgrading later this year to a rtx3070 my worry is whether or not the monitor will be able to reach the 165hz advertised because it is only freesync compatible

sage trail
#

dont worry about freesync or gsync

#

they are optional features

#

if you wanted to, you can actually run gsync on freesync compatible monitors

#

this one is cheaper, while still being really good

#

@celest lichen

celest lichen
#

i just wanted to make sure that i dont need gysnc or freesync in order to get the 144hz

is 10 bucks more for an ips over a va panel worth it?

full moat
#

yes

trail vault
#

Yes but also depends if it's for gaming or not

#

Va panels tend to have lower response times

earnest ether
#

I see a review for a 8k monitor saying that use for long periods of time can hurt your eyes
Is that true?

tidal stump
#

probably not anymore than looking at any other monitor

fleet spade

it'll prolly cause eye stress but that happens with long periods of time looking at some big screen

That’s a VA panel, so it’s up to you if that’s worth it

Just picked up a ASUS ROG gaming monitor to replace my LG. Display works fine when booting and in the BIOS but when it boots to Windows 10, its just a black screen. Windows, GeForce, and ASUS own software detects the correct monitor, resolution. I can tell due to using my LG as a second monitor. I have tried everything I can think of to resolve it. Has anyone ran into this and know of a good solution. The manual it came with was a single sheet of paper with no words.

tame swallow

Top is IPS display bottom is not... bottom is VA

copper hemlock
#

#

do you want flat or curved

the top one has better colors

#

you do get a giftcard with both

#

theyre both great it just depends on what you want

#

flat or curved

#

nicer colors or not

#

165 hz or 144 hz

#

i think the 165 hz is after overclock anyway

copper hemlock
#

honestly i just want best value for my money

#

curved or flat deosnt really matter to me i think curved would be nice but i also have a flat monitor rn i want t otry a curved one at somepoin though

#

#

@kind bloom

#

what cpu and gpu are you using?

oh, you're using the 3600 and 2060

#

a 1080p 144hz monitor is what I and lots of other people use, it's pretty great for most games

frosty hazel
#

Thanks

#

I've been using a laptop for years but my HDD died so I am buying a desktop. Thanks for the recommendation

sage trail
#

yeah, just make sure to enable 144hz once you get the system up and running

#

default is always 60hz

there is one thing you can do, however

push the monitor farther away from your face

boom smaller pixels

its viotek

#

ive been using this monitor for a year now

#

no issues

inner oracle
#

Hmm

#

Never heard of viotek

sage trail
#

we dont care about the company that makes the product here

#

all that matters is if its a good product

#

if this wasnt a good monitor for the price i wouldnt have suggested it

inner oracle
#

Ok then

#

Are the colors good?

#

Accurate?

#

And what about the viewing angles

#

Looks like a good monitor ngl

#

Might consider it

#

@sage trail bruh it’s a VA panel

sage trail
#

whats wrong with a VA panel?

#

also, yeah the colors and viewing angles are fine

#

not like that really matters

#

not like you would notice, even if they werent quite right

inner oracle
#

Hmm I’m really confused

#

I play Microsoft flight simulator and the game is beautiful

#

I don’t want to have a monitor that just screws up the colors

sage trail
#

its not like blues are gonna turn into purple and pink

inner oracle
#

Lol

#

I know reviews don’t matter but, maaan

#

That’s not goo

sage trail
#

outside of real work that requires precise colors by professionals, the colors are perfect

#

did you read them?

inner oracle
#

No written reviews on Newegg

sage trail
#

the only people who bother to post reviews are the ones who just so happened to get a defective unit

inner oracle
#

That is true

sage trail
#

only 5 star reviews here

inner oracle
#

That’s weird

sage trail
#

and there are written reviews

inner oracle
#

Yeah I saw on Amazon

#

Looks good

sage trail
#

as with any product, theres always a chance that the one you receive doesnt work properly, or doesnt work at all

#

HDMI?

#

if thats the case, returning it is easy

Question for you guys, how big of a difference is there between 1920 and 2560 resolution, cause I've been looking at monitors and theres a bunch of 1920 ones that have really good prices but I haven't been able to find many 2560 ones for a decent price

cyan jungle
#

yeah thats because they're higher resolution

#

so theyre more expensive

#

but it depends on the size of the monitor and how close you are from it

candid zinc
#

Will probably be ~27 inch

#

Someone recommended 2560 is better for that size so I might just go with that

#

Black fridays soon I believe so should be some deals around

Im looking for some help making a decision, last night my Samsung C32JG50 panel died, flat out bricked, no power at all, and yes believe me i tried it all
so now comes my delima, im on the fence about which monitor id like to get next and ive narrowed it down to two, the Gigabyte G32QC 32" https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012012?Item=N82E16824012012&quicklink=true
Or do i go with the Samsung G5 Odyssey, also at 32" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FF3HDW5/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

they are very similar in stats, samsung with the slightly better curve, gigabyte with the slightly better refresh rate, however seeing as im without a monitor until i can replace, shipping time is a slight tug for me, i can get the samsung to my place as early as tomorrow, however the gigabyte wont arrive until the "16th" more than likely the 17th, at best...

anyone have personal experience with either that would say really tug to one or the other?

are IPS that much better than VA?

not really

any modern IPS or VA will be perfectly fine

unless you are working with colors that need to be precise

modern TN panels are also pretty good, but are noticeably different

mystic oracle
#

actually canm some1 link a good 240hz curved monitor

#

#

doesnt matter

#

can be ultrawide

patent lagoon
#

@mystic oracle wyd on it?

#

also

#

@mystic oracle whats ur favorite kanye album

mystic oracle
#

its not for me its for a friend

#

gaming ig

#

he just wants a 240hz curved monitor

#

this is what i found

velvet pivot
#

That's a 1080p tho

#

Link is crazy misleading >.>

#

If you're fine paying 500-700$USD, there is the G7, but I know it's kinda ridiculous

hot forum
#

does anyone know the reason some people don't like curved monitors

#

i've never used one myself but im looking into it and im hesitating bc i dont know why some people dont like using them

pearl tide
#

I had one and I have no problems with them

#

I just had mine in a bad spot and it face planted on my desk and broke

dim jasper
#

hey so is this a good monitor?

#

its on sale rn, but Idk if I wanna pull the trigger since black friday is around the corner

#

and this counts as a black friday deal I think

astral trellis
#

it has black friday price protection anyways

#

so if it does get a better sale, you'll get refunded whatever that sale adds

#

also, yes looks like a great monitor

dim jasper
#

is there any other good monitor like that one

#

on sale? or will be on sale? or should I just get that one

worthy oak
#

@dim jasper as a headsup

#

it is a VA panel

sage trail
#

best for gaming?

#

tf does color accuracy have to do with gaming, especially when the differences are so minor

#

base your choice of monitor on other, more important things

worthy oak
#

they dont just explain what is the best for gaming, they speak about the properties of each type of panel and their disadvantages and advantages.

#

im assuming he is going to be gaming with it so i decided to go for more gaming oriented videos as it will apply to a more broad audience

#

much more gamers than content creators

#

and looks like you need to watch the video too as VA is a horrid panel for anything fast refresh rate because of their tendency to ghost etc, it can be good if it is a quality panel but there is a reason why VA is in lower end monitors.

sage trail
#

my 144hz VA panel is amazing

#

in fact, i use the literal cheapest 144hz monitor available

#

no ghosting, works great

#

imo, for most people, VA and IPS are identical, and TN is for cheap 240hz

lean linden

Anyone know of a good 32 inch or more monitor that isn’t expensive as balls

visual pilot
#

@lean linden why 32in?

lean linden
#

Because big

fleet spade
#

if you want screen real estate, jus get one good 24 incher and another cheap 24 incher

visual pilot
#

@lean linden why not 27in

lean linden
#

Ah idk

stoic scarab
#

why not a projector

velvet pivot
#

Why not the movie theatre screen?

stoic scarab
#

lean linden
#

I’m thinking 90 inch monitor

#

Anyone know of a 90 inch monitor less than 100 bucks

stoic scarab
#

honestly a good ol curved 27 inch is sweet

#

resolution and refresh rates up to u

#

I use the asus tuf..they have a 31.5 curved one but i thought its too much

#

buy used if firday sales arent good enuff for what u need

lean linden
#

Are there 4K monitors?

stoic scarab
#

weren't u on a tight budget

lean linden

Yes tight budget but I’m hopefully getting a 6800xt tommorrow so should have 4K with a good graphics card right?

#

Hello
I recently purchased Gigabyte M27Q which is capable of giving 170Hz. Although, I only see 144Hz option

#

It’s connected via HDMI to my laptop which has 1060

covert solstice
#

@steep ledge it has hdmi 2.0 which only supports 1440p @ 144hz, you would need to use displayport to get 170hz

steep ledge
#

Oh ok. Didnt know that and didnt read it either on their page. Thank you

#

But my laptop doesnt have the display port although the cable came with the monitor

covert solstice
#

if the laptop has hdmi 2.1 you might be able to get a hdmi 2.1 -> displayport connector and that might run it at 170hz

steep ledge
#

Actually my laptop does have mini display port. Just saw it.

covert solstice
#

👍

steep ledge
#

So now i get mini dp to hdmi 2 and it will work?

stoic scarab
#

no..mini dp from laptop to regular dp in to the monitor

#

my laptop has a type c and no dp ports so i got a type c to dp adapter and then plugged dp to dp

#

to achieve 165 hz on my monitor

mossy gull
#

hey guys i have a question, and im not the brightest so be gentle on me

velvet pivot
#

Ask away

mossy gull
#

so, i have a xbox series x

#

my monitor is the weird kuu 27 inch, it states its 4k and it works 4k on my pc

#

but it won't work 4k on my xbox

velvet pivot
#

Huh, that's weird

stoic scarab
#

what ls ur cable

velvet pivot
#

^

mossy gull
#

the cable my xbox series x came with

velvet pivot
#

Probably poo cable

stoic scarab
#

if he got the cable with the new xbox that shouldn't be the case

mossy gull
#

the monitor came with a display port cable

stoic scarab
#

hdmi 2.1 is what ur shooting for

velvet pivot
#

Huh. I don't really care too much for the consoles so eh

mossy gull
#

do you think thats the default for my 4k?

velvet pivot
#

But if that cable doesn't work for 4K, that's just dumb

stoic scarab
#

go to the shop u bought it from

#

or did u order online

mossy gull
#

i bought it off newegg

stoic scarab
#

rip

#

yea idk

mossy gull
#

and their is nothing for customer support for them lol

velvet pivot
#

Try asking xbox series x threads idk

#

Oh

#

But yeah threads

stoic scarab
#

id have to say spend more money to buy a hdmi 2.1 but after ur sure that its the cable issuw

#

i dont see why it wouldnt work

#

unless they refurbished urs that would be hilarious

velvet pivot
#

I mean, does the cable have some naming on the cable itself?

stoic scarab
#

jk

#

nah i dont think so

#

they generic

#

try reading whts engraved on the tip

#

if anything

velvet pivot
#

It's the refurbished console from that dude who ran over the Xbox series X with his car NYEHE

stoic scarab
#

mvut when i say generic that still should be shipped with whats advertised

#

aka hdmi 2.1

velvet pivot
#

yeah

stoic scarab
#

good luck dude

velvet pivot
#

If you're using headphones, get a displayport if your xbox series x supports that sort of cable

stoic scarab
#

isnt there an hdmi to dp

#

??

#

adapter

#

then dp to sp

#

dp

velvet pivot
#

ig maybe

mossy gull
#

xbox series x doesnt have a display port

#

sadly

velvet pivot
#

Dang

stoic scarab
#

no

mossy gull
#

i've never been more upset

stoic scarab
#

i kbow that

#

im saying

velvet pivot
#

HMDI to displayport adapter

stoic scarab
#

hdmi to dp adapter then u use dp to dp

mossy gull
#

im not sure what you mean?

stoic scarab
#

ok

#

my laptop is connected to a monitor and the monitor only has hdmi 1.4

velvet pivot
#

A cable that has both DP and HDMI so you can use an HDMI cable and plug that adapter to a DP on monitor

stoic scarab
#

my laptip has no dp ports

#

but has a type c

mossy gull
#

right

stoic scarab
#

so i use type c to dp adapter then i used a dp to dp to achieve the 165 hz advertised speed

mossy gull
#

so you think

#

using my hdmi 2.1 to my 1.4 display port on the monitor would work?

velvet pivot
#

No, an adapter lets you plug HDMI into the adapter

#

On one side of that adapter is HDMI, the other is a DP

stoic scarab
#

wait Senko

mossy gull
#

right so i need 2 display port adapters?

stoic scarab
#

u will need two things

mossy gull
#

im so confused

#

im sorry guys

stoic scarab
#

a full dp to dp

mossy gull
#

im really trying

stoic scarab
#

and an hdmi to dp adapter

velvet pivot
#

Yeah ik

#

Just forgot to put that in

stoic scarab
#

yea but the problem with this cable

#

ull need to plug in that usb to power the function

velvet pivot
#

Oh there is that

stoic scarab
#

the typa a usb

#

that u see in the picture

velvet pivot
#

Ye

stoic scarab
#

u plug in hdmi and usb

velvet pivot
#

ye

stoic scarab
#

to get dp out

velvet pivot
#

e

stoic scarab
#

just to make things clear for him

mossy gull
#

okay

stoic scarab
#

does the xbox come with a type a next to the hdmi

velvet pivot
#

Yeah, so what you'll need to find is an adapter that has HDMI to DP. You can send it in here and we'll help

stoic scarab
#

perhaps

mossy gull
#

what does a type a look like?

stoic scarab
#

🤣

#

dead

mossy gull
#

im very much bad at technology

velvet pivot
#

It should list Type A on website thinger

mossy gull
#

my pops used to do this stuff with me but hes passed away

stoic scarab
#

ow.....

velvet pivot
#

:(

stoic scarab
#

u didnt have to drop the bomb like that

velvet pivot
#

Well, never too late to learn

stoic scarab
#

type a is ur usual old redundant port

#

mossy gull
#

velvet pivot
#

USB

stoic scarab
#

yes its called usb type a

velvet pivot
#

Like what your usual phone charger has ig

mossy gull
#

stoic scarab
#

#

mossy gull
#

yeah

#

stoic scarab
#

great u can use the link he sent for the product of that sort

velvet pivot
#

:)

stoic scarab
#

and then a 1.4 dp to dp cable

mossy gull
#

so, is that the exact thing ill need?

stoic scarab
#

yup but only do that once ur sure that ur cable is not defective or what not

velvet pivot
#

Yeah

stoic scarab
#

which i find surprising

mossy gull
#

should i try using my hdmi 2.1 on my pc?

stoic scarab
#

ur package didnt look fishy?

mossy gull
#

or would it not support it?

stoic scarab
#

if ur monitor and motherboard supports 2.1 then yeah

mossy gull
#

how might i check that?

stoic scarab
#

ok i need to shower ill continue later if no one will help you

mossy gull
#

can i send you a friend request?

stoic scarab
#

sure

#

sorry not motherboard ur graphics card i believe ill clarify later

mossy gull
#

stoic scarab
#

#

send me that friend request and we can call get a better understanding

mossy gull
#

okay

velvet pivot
#

There is the regular IPS version for 400$, but is this good, or is there any other recommendations?

visual pilot
#

Gigabyte g27q

velvet pivot
#

God, what a sexy name

#

Doesn't have 500 other letters and numbers

visual pilot
#

@velvet pivot also take a look at the gigabyte M27q for more expensive but more better panel

#

(still under 400$, but more expensive than G27q)

velvet pivot
#

Ah, so just something with somewhat better panel, higher refresh

visual pilot
#

Mhm, better color higher refresh rate

velvet pivot
#

Oh, that's p new

#

Surprising the G27Q is less than 300$

#

Well, 320$

#

But good enough

visual pilot
#

Dats why I like it :)

velvet pivot
#

:)

visual pilot
#

320$ 1440p144hz ips

velvet pivot
#

Time for me to wait for PCPP to update the newer one and for Hardware Unboxed to review it

#

I know I can put in an unlisted PC part

visual pilot
#

I remember the mag271cqr at 400$ for 1440p144hz VA actually being good

#

:p

#

Prices went way down

velvet pivot
#

Yeah

#

I'll def go for the M27Q one, thanks :)

visual pilot
#

:)

visual pilot
#

@stone mica Gigabyte G27qc

#

should be 300$ flat for a VA 1440p144hz panel

stone mica
#

oops realized i poseted in the wrong chanel

#

okay thx

#

this one seems perfect

split anvil
#

This looks like the channel to hang out in during black friday huh ;)

visual pilot
#

:D

Panel upgrade time eh

#

if M27q drops significantly in price at all I will definitely swipe it

#

great panel from what I've seen

velvet pivot
#

ig so ye

dim jasper
#

do you guys think I should buy this now?

#

or wait for other discounts

#

rn I have a 60hz 1080p monitor so it will be a big jump

Anybody know of any good monitors for under 120USD?

maiden wedge

so

#

i have the odyessey g7

#

i want to run at 240 fps

#

but

#

my overwatch is for some reason only getting 60 frames when it was getting 250 before

sage trail
#

is it a consistent 60fps?

coarse salmon
#

vsync?

sage trail
#

sounds to me like windows things

visual pilot
#

Just windows things

sage trail
#

go to windows settings, click system, then scroll down to the bottom of the page

#

then click advanced settings

#

looks like this, it will tell you if your monitor has defaulted to 60hz

#

you can see mine is at 144

#

@maiden wedge

terse heath
#

just bought that $115 monitor

visual pilot
#

Lol

coarse salmon
#

nice

terse heath
#

christams gift

maiden wedge
#

nah

#

its in game

tidal finch
#

its in game
@maiden wedge check your in game settings to see if you have any form of V-sync on. If not and you’re running nvidia, check your monitor resolution setup, it sometimes (usually) defaults new monitors to 1920x1080 60hz res. If that’s all good, check if you have the nvidia V-sync setting active or G-Sync compatible.
@if you’re running AMD then idk lol

maiden wedge
#

everything is all good

#

idk

#

something with my pc i guess

tidal finch
#

Then tbh idk. Id say just reinstall your display drivers and GPU drivers. If not I got nothing tbh

maiden wedge
#

Thx for trying

maiden wedge
#

What’s up guys, what would you all recommend?

  1. Two 1920x1080 monitors, 1ms, 75 hz
  2. One 32” 2560x1440 monitor, 4 ms, 70 hz
  3. One 27” 1920x1080 monitor, 1ms, 165 hz
    All similar price around 300 EUR.
#

I know it’s a bit long but I’ve narrowed it down to these few and I keep getting different opinions

solemn bronze
#

try gigabyte g27

maiden wedge
#

The 27 inch one is that model actually

solemn bronze
#

or the pixio p329

maiden wedge
#

Spot on

solemn bronze
#

the g27qc

#

its qhd and 144hz

maiden wedge
#

Yes

#

I’ll go for that, thanks!

worthy oak
#

@maiden wedge

#

Do you plan on getting a gpu upgrade?

#

1060 is struggling at new games at 1080p let alone qhd

#

Assuming you mean quad hd

terse heath
#

can a 1660 run two monitors at 1080p 144hz?

worthy oak
#

Yes

#

You will se minimal performance drops on your main monitor depending on what the second one is running

#

Which 1660 do you have?

terse heath
#

at, like, max settings? (on games like csgo, minecraft, payday,etc)

#

it's an msi

worthy oak
#

If you mean two at once both gaming then that depends

terse heath
#

gaming oc smthn

#

oh no

worthy oak
#

If you mean one with like discord or a video

terse heath
#

one would have a game

worthy oak
#

Yea

terse heath
#

the other would have like discord or twitch chat or something

worthy oak
#

You will se like maybe a few frames lost if having a discord open

#

Twitch chat, if you have only chat and no video, should barely affect it

terse heath
#

okay

#

I was worried

worthy oak
#

Do you know what the ports are on your GPU?

terse heath
#

i have 3 dp and 1 hdmi

worthy oak
#

Are both your monitors DP?

terse heath
#

i think so

worthy oak
#

Yep should work then

terse heath
#

the other one isn't here yet

worthy oak
#

Idk if your hdmi is the newer 144hz supported one but I’d assume so for a 1660

#

So you should be good

terse heath
#

it's this

#

and the other one

#

is this

#

wait i can't send best buy links?

#

whatever

#

the samsung crg5

near heath
#

Does anyone have any reccomendations for a 1440p 144hz monitor below $400?

oh the graphics card

#

uh hold on

#

how big

#

Anything

#

It's time to upgrade from my 1080p 60hz

a quick google search gives me this

#

4.4/5

I just got the Gigabyte G27Q

#

If you wanted curved there is also

near heath
#

Thats actually pretty fire

#

Thank you gentlemen, I'll spec these out and pick the one I feel is best. Thank you for your time

terse heath
#

no problem

#

anyway

#

the issue with having two monitors for me is that i don't know if i have the desk space

pseudo heart
#

What size monitors?

#

I have a pretty wide desk

terse heath
#

2 24 inch

#

and my desk is

#

uh

#

idk what its called

#

it's like a bunk bed but with a desk

worthy oak
#

Is it ikea?

#

Huh

terse heath
#

i really doubt that it's ikea

worthy oak
#

Well I would maybe grab a ruler?

#

Check the length of the monitors and then see if they will fit

terse heath
#

yeah, ok

#

i might just return the monitor I bought if it doesn't fit

worthy oak
#

Yea that’s always an option

#

They are pretty small though usually

#

Unless they’re high end

terse heath
#

yeah ok so

#

i may not have thought this through

#

i'm gonna cancel the order

pseudo heart
#

No worries it's alright

worthy oak
#

Yeah rather cancel it than have to send it back

maiden wedge
#

1060 is struggling at new games at 1080p let alone qhd
@worthy oak yes I plan to upgrade to a 3070

worthy oak
#

Oh alright sick

terse heath
#

yeah so i canceled it and instead bought some "portable" monitor

pseudo heart
#

I suppose you could have used a monitor arm or mount to have it float somewhere

#

but whatever works good for you man

terse heath
#

oh my desk's like the bottom bunk of a bunk bed

#

it can't float, there's a ceiling on my desk

#

terse heath
#

yeah

supple plover
#

I'm thinking of upgrading to a high refresh rate monitor, any recommendations for 1080p?

sick pivot
#

could you use your phone as a second screen for your laptop

worthy oak
#

@supple plover

#

You want on a budget

#

Ips or tn ?

#

Or va

supple plover
#

IPS for sure, it's what I've been using for a while

half flare
#

Does anyone who knows or has had a AOC 24G2U know if the power and menu buttons are supposed to come with caps on them?

📎 image0.jpg
worthy oak
#

@supple plover well what’s your budget?

#

You can get a good panel with eh build quality for like 170 bucks 24 in iOS

pseudo heart
#

@half flare Looks standard

worthy oak
#

IPS

pseudo heart
supple plover
#

Basically the best value for what I'm looking for, IPS 144hz 1080p uh yeah I mean 170 is what I've been seeing when searching. Just deciding on a specific monitor though

#

These are two I'm looking at phaSheva

worthy oak
#

I have the Pixio prime

#

I think it has slightly better color accuracy?

#

Though not sure

#

The pixio has smaller bezels which I like but

#

I think the stand is a bit better with the MSI

#

I think from the reviews the MSI doesn’t come w a DP cable so keep that in mind

supple plover
#

I see, yeah that might be the deal breaker then cause it's HDMI 1.4 the pixio comes with 2.0 so you could use either DP or HDMI for 144hz

#

Pixio it is

sage trail
#

according to the spec sheets for each, the MSI has better color coverage

#

and has better stand adjusting

covert solstice
#

check rtings

sage trail
#

oh good idea

covert solstice
#

okay neither of them are on there forget that

sage trail
#

rtings has neither of them

#

lmao

#

px248 does have better peak brightness

#

and it doesnt have internal speakers, which i would consider a positive

#

because no one uses those, and its just another audio device windows gets to mess up

#

nope

#

they both have speakers, how stupid

#

haha, nope, im the stupid one, i was looking at the wrong spec sheet, its the G241 that doesnt have speakers

covert sluice
sage trail
#

145? really?

#

wow thats pretty good

terse heath
#

so

sage trail
#

well, it wont be in stock for another month

supple plover
#

No wonder it's out of stock phaWesker

terse heath
covert sluice
#

im acctually. looking for a 165 one

terse heath
#

oh

maiden wedge
#

ive been using the g7 the past few days

#

lemme just say

#

worthhhhhh

supple plover
#

I'm actually uh specifically wanting an IPS option

terse heath
#

oh yeah ok

sage trail
#

144 vs 165 doesnt make that big of a difference

#

its one of those nice to haves that shouldnt define what you are looking for in a monitor

terse heath
#

and what was ur budget @supple plover

sick pivot
#

hi guys im looking for a second portable monitor for my laptop what ones do you reccomend i need a cheap one

supple plover
#

I would say no more than $200

#

I'm already looking at two that are $170

That is indeed one of them

vernal quartz

Can you guys help me I have monitor questions

terse heath
#

go ahead

vernal quartz
#

I’m a console gamer, looking for a monitor that I won’t have to replace when I go from my ps4 pro to PC/next gen console in the very near future

terse heath
#

ok

#

so, what's your budget

#

and how much do you care about top-of-the-line color fidelity

#

@vernal quartz i need you to respond if you want help

vernal quartz
#

$500 or so

terse heath
#

oh damn ok

#

so, give me a second

#

and that basically invalidates the second question

vernal quartz
#

Is that not enough? And is hdmi 2.1 a necessity?

terse heath
#

what kind of graphics card would you use

vernal quartz
#

Don’t rip me a new one but a 3080

terse heath
#

didn't plan on it

#

ok hold on

sage trail
#

1080p 144hz will run on hdmi 1.3

#

2.1 is for 4k 144hz

terse heath
#

so many options doinmeafrighten

vernal quartz
#

Ithats a good problem to have

terse heath
#

@vernal quartz here's one option

#

vernal quartz
#

I was looking at those from my google searching

terse heath
#

ok

vernal quartz
#

But didn’t know the difference in all the sub models etc

terse heath
#

honestly I'm probably not the best guy to go to

#

if you want what's probably the best monitor on the market right now, then go for this:

#

well best buy doesn't work but bitly to best buy works

#

weird

#

it's a bit over your target price range, but it's the fastest monitor on the market

#

Prob an obvious question but will a monitor make a big improvement to my gaming experience even on my ps4 pro

terse heath
#

um

#

pretty sure the ps4 pro doesn't get super high refresh rates

#

so not a whole lot

#

The most benefit will likely be just response time and image quality

#

Nope it doesn’t - I’m ready to go PC

#

Been slowly assembling a list of parts last few months

terse heath
#

can we get a spec list?

#

also, i could put together a parts list for you

#

I know a lot more about actual computers than the monitors they plug into

#

dm me if you want me to

#

hey how good is an IPS panel like this one?

#

is it worth getting

#

?

#

also will there be any other good sales like this one? I personally don't want to buy from newegg bc of the return policy

should i get 1080p 240hz or 1440p 144hz

dim jasper
#

but I want to pull the trigger on this one

#

1440p 144hz

upbeat summit
#

im getting a 4k side monitor

#

btw

#

oh

dim jasper
#

eventually it will be the modern way to go

upbeat summit
#

ok

#

If your computer can handle the 1440 I would say that’s better, not much of a noticeable difference between 240 and 144hz and unless you’re into competitive FPS games there’s no huge benefit, if at all

#

what's the difference between g-sync and freesynce

#

sync

#

@tidal stump im building a godly and a bit cheap setup

#

with a hopefully 3080

#

so it should run it

tidal stump
#

G sync is for nvidia graphics and free sync is amd, although sometimes the monitor will support both even if it only lists one of them

upbeat summit
#

oop

tidal stump
#

I would go with a 1440p

upbeat summit
#

u guys know any g-sync compatible 144hz/165hz 1440p monitors?

#

for around $300?
