#

just thought of buying an IPS panel, my monitor is TN and it hurts my eyes lol

#

trust me, i know these marketing gimmiks and people are eating it all up

#

oh yes go IPS

#

never everrrr buy a TN

#

tn is horrible

#

its what laptop and phone screens are made of

#

VA is still nice compared to TN isn't it ?

#

va is better

#

but ips is best if ur into color and contrast

#

my monitor hurts my eyes after long use

#

sounds like its radiating a lot of blue light

#

and with online school and stuff like that i stay in front of my computer for like 10hrs+ per day

#

have u considered wearing blue light filter glasses while you game

#

never actually

#

i wear glasses in general

#

try it

#

u can get prescrition filter glasses as well

#

yep i got you

#

did this to my friend when he was having a headache on his comp, it instantly stopped

#

and he saw clearee than ever before

#

yeah i feel like long screen exposure espicially on tn ruins your eyes

#

this happens to many people with eyes sights under 16

#

been noticing it a lot more lately

#

16/20

#

that their eyes cant handle the blue light from monitor

#

the monitor i chose specifically radiates low blue light

#

i should do the same... but aren't those type of monitors pricier ?

#

nope

#

or is there a way of activating a filter in windows or maybe an external app ?

#

well yes they are

#

but u can find a decent one for 180

Amazon.com: Pixio PX248 Prime 24 inch 144Hz IPS 1ms FHD 1080p AMD Radeon FreeSync Esports IPS Gaming Monitor: Computers & Accessories

#

@maiden wedge there used to be a way to turn off blue light completely

#

that's everything you could ask for in a 1080p monitor haha

#

but on a tn display, it is worse, eerythn will be greyish-gold and so ugly

#

ye literally everythn and only one in stock dec 11th

#

it's unfortunate it can't be delivered to where i live

#

everythn else ive tried to get but available in january, u can order those now but u womt get ur monitor until january... and i dont want to wait that lomg

#

its an amazon item, what do u mean u cant get it

#

i live in korea aaha

#

📎 unknown.png

#

hmmmmmmm

#

looks great though

#

well why didnt u say so

#

😄

#

i thought ur in US

#

i can't even afford it actually aha

#

they dont got an amazon over there?

#

we do have amazon but shipping fees are humongous

#

taxes are increased

#

it's just not the best option

#

well man if u cant afford this 169.99+ tax u cant buy a monitor worth it im tellin u rn

#

yeah i gotta save up

#

mamy monitors at these SAME stats are at 179.99 starting

#

soon enough i'll upgrade

#

many*

#

24 inch, 144hz 1080p

#

that's what i have

#

ive had sht where i had tocgo down to 23.8" just to get the SAME STATS but at a price of 179.99

#

what i want to change is the fact that it is tn and has a frame 🤮

#

and the sht was also ips

#

i am doing ips strictly

#

is there a noticeable difference between ips and va ?

#

so yeah... u need to save up if u cant chuck 180 at it and u want to keep a 24 inch frame

#

very noticeable

#

brighter and crispier colors

#

well i should say its more noticeable to the video editor than the gamer

#

yeah for sure

#

i produce music and study mainly

#

gaming from time to time

#

ye so u wont notice much of a doff

#

i'm sure it'll still be a way better experience

#

overall

#

but its still best for an ips, especially one i sent that is only one that actually has the option to lower blue light

#

gotchu

#

well, was nice talking to you i gtg see you around 😄

#

its funny when ppl say get a 4k res or a 1440p res on a 24 inch monitor

#

i am an electrical and computer engineer and i can safely say, that is hilariois

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

yo people! I need a bit of advise, Im considering a dell 31.5 curved QHD display, my desk is normal size I guess, any suggestions at recommended distance from monitor?

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

yeah i see what you mean

#

people would sacrifice screen size for a higher resolution, but then they are throwing their money away because the smaller the screen the smaller the pixels and they wont be able to tell the difference at all wth 1080p vs 1440p after that

#

@amber cave now this man will have to go 1440p because he wants a 31inch monitor

#

wdym by distance?

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

from chair to monitor

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

u shohld always keep distance between ur face and the monitor

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

😄

#

from face to monitor

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

are u putting ur face on the screen

#

like how much space is on ur desk between u and a monitor is perfectly fine

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

yea so I wont get crosseyed

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

but idk why would u want a 31 inch monitor...

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

Im currently on 24in

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

are u expecting to sit on a couch from that

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

because that dell seems to be a good mix of everything and almost same price as samsung 27inc G5

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

1080p or 1440p?

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

1440p

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

the bigger size u want to up the pixelation of monitor because the bits need to be kept relatively shrunk

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

165hz

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

oh so u are paying like 350+

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

arounds 400-450

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

so price range- 400-500
screen size 27-31 inch
res: 165hz
panel type- IPS
frame rate- 1440p

#

what panel type

#

but tbh id stick with 1080p especially if ur ganna be sitting at the desk

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

the dell is va, Im currently on IPS and it is nice

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

and with a 24 inch monitor

#

noone should be close to a 31 inch

#

headache will come fast because of blue light radiation

#

and by fast i mean in 13 minutes-20 minutes of use

#

unless ur planning to buy blue light filter glasses

#

but then again thats all up to ya

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

hmm

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

what resolution u want

#

ik u want 1440p

#

but what about the length

#

5120

#

3440

#

2560

#

all by 1440p

#

with the specs u want, and price, u wont get any 31 inch

#

max 27 inch monitor

#

response time u want .1 if possible instead of 1

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

32 2560 x 1440 0.51 m / 1.7 ft 0.96 m / 3.2 ft

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

the rest is now u choosing a screen res

#

ok ur list dropped from 22

#

to only 9

Choose A Monitor

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

oh Im not considering monitors per say, Im just more into is it "ok" to use a 31.5 QHD curved on a normal desk

#

because 32 is quite a bit more than my current 24

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

that answer is no unless u want glasses and poor eye sight very soon

#

and we all know how gaming goes

#

ur not on it for an hr or 2, before u know it its 12 hrs

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

monitor specs should have recommended distance

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

they dont because then ppl wouldnt buy em :)

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

hah

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

and its common knowledge- bigger the screen, higher the blue light, more damage to the eyes at close distance

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

I usually use warmer colours

#

6500k-7000k

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

@maiden wedge but ye ppl may flame me and say theres a huge difference even on a 24 inch that u should get 1440p bro not 1080p its such ahuge difference, it really is not, are you more likely to land a headshot on that sniper you hate from across the map with 1440p vs 1080p? No, all it does is shrinks current pixels and adds more but the pixels are alddy so small on monitor it dont even matter, its all a marketing gimmik and more ppl they fool to get that extra 60-90 bucks expensive ass monitor, the more they make, and hey thats business haha

#

@amber cave some of the newer monitors idk if they allow u to adjust it to warmer colors

amber cave Nov 28, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

stupid covid, you cant go anywhere to actually see stuff in action, at least not in the scope of how it used to be possiblr

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

yep

candid zinc Nov 28, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

I mean most new monitors come with settings to reduce blue light emission

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

and anyome who says 4k exists, is literally a fool lmfao, 4k resolution ultra hd, maybe the hd is whats tricking them into thinking its 4k but hd is hd, XD @maiden wedge

#

@candid zinc good to know, i havent gotten a new monitor just yet

#

mines comig dec 15

candid zinc Nov 28, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

And honestly as long as you're taking breaks regularly then it really doesn't matter

maiden wedge Nov 28, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

wish they would say it tho

#

the one i ordered said it and i took it

#

ye but for the hardcore gamer, there.. IS... NO... BREAKS lol

candid zinc Nov 28, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

fair enough lol

#

I bought a monitor today for a pretty solid deal

#

Probably won't end up using it much for gaming but it should be real nice for whatever games I try out on it

#

first ultrawide monitor I'll have used

urban epoch Nov 28, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

maiden wedge well man if u cant afford this 169.99+ tax u cant buy a monitor worth it im tell...

Fun fact over here taxes would add another 100 or so that's why I don't look at amazon or something I can pay more for shipping and taxes then just the item itself

@smoky bear So, for your work, you need color accuracy correct?

#

anyways, somehow, this monitor, despite being TN, has very nice color accuracy out of box,

@visual pilot yes, and I’ll take a look - thanks 🙏

visual pilot Nov 29, 2020, 5:13 AM

a bit high on your budget, but I don't like only looking at specs for color accuracy, and I prefer being able to get a RTings review with color accuracy on there for comparison

Yeah, looks quite nice... thanks for the input! I’m gonna keep looking for around same specs and see if I can find something a bit cheaper

Theres plenty of reviews on yt

Also the 280hz one is ips

#

A steal imo

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 12:45 PM

looks amazing to me

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

looks pretty good

#

never heard of that PSU though

#

should probably get another one

#

and you should ask for people's opinion in #building-and-recc-chat @maiden wedge

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

amd comes with preapplied thermal paste

#

i'm not 100& sure for intel

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

just lookin at this chat posting overpriced displays xd

#

theres no need for a 280 hz unless u get best gpu out there, absolutely a waste of energy on your house bill and a waste of money because you wont run that high of an fps

#

@maiden wedge

#

a 1080p 24 inch 144hz is perfectly fine

#

if u go to 1440p then go up to 31 inches

#

same refresh rate

heavy widget Nov 29, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

what is a good monitor for the 3080 card

warped night Nov 29, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

Pixio PX7 Prime or Odyssey G7

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

I have a5600x and a 3070, should i get a 1440p display or 1080p with 240hz? I play mainly fps games

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

@dawn karma depends on screen size and $$$$ u want to spend

#

@heavy widget asus monitors are best imo but u dont have to buy brand name, as long as its 1440p u can do 165hz because that card can handle it but get a bigger screen, i odnt know what ur budget is

#

make sure its an IPS to get best color out of ur monitor

warped night Nov 29, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

1440p 165hz IPS? Pixio PX7 Prime is literally the monitor for those requirements.

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

@heavy widget def if u went with 3080 card go for a 1440p monitor because that card is designed for higher resolution and hz, otherwise was a waste of money to get 3080 card

@dawn karma
also take note as games get more crazy in graphics, that card may not be able to 240 fps so note that if u plan to hold that card for a while ull have to eventually tune down settings

heavy widget Nov 29, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

maiden wedge <@738410074548207716> asus monitors are best imo but u dont have to buy brand na...

2000$

@warped night sounds good i dont remember names, but ye, whats the screen size also

warped night Nov 29, 2020, 3:59 PM

27"

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 3:59 PM

ok sounds good

#

@heavy widget 2000$ for a monitor?

heavy widget Nov 29, 2020, 3:59 PM

no

#

my budget for my build

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 3:59 PM

so what is the budget for it

heavy widget Nov 29, 2020, 3:59 PM

i thought you meant that

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

nope lol

warped night Nov 29, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

Before the Odyssey G7 came out, I was going to get a Pixio PX7 Prime

heavy widget Nov 29, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

oh

#

300$

warped night Nov 29, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

But, the Odyssey G7 is replacing it.

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

pixio px7 prime is ur best bet then @heavy widget

warped night Nov 29, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

And I'll probably have to get a Vertical mount for my monitors.

#

Sooner or later I'll be moving to an apartment, so vertical monitor mount is what I'll need to do.

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

ye im only gettn 1 screen haha, dont need verticle mounted screens

#

dual screenings sounds fun but then it comes a bit eh where now i have to turn my head a lot more

warped night Nov 29, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

If the G7 was like, 200 dollars cheaper I'd buy 2.

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

we all know odyssey will never go cheap

#

buying the brand not rlly the specs tbh haha

warped night Nov 29, 2020, 4:03 PM

I expect a price drop when the next version comes out with either OLED or MicroLED

#

Hasn't been announced, but I expect that to be the next evolution.

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

and then ur ganna wait for the next one thats releasing 2 weeks after that and then the next one a month after that lol

#

and then the website gets botted and u dont get to buy

warped night Nov 29, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

Monitors don't tend to get botted.

#

It's CPUs and GPUs that get botted.

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

u get the point

#

someone out there is daring enough to bot a monitor

#

cuz msrp is like 50% lower than resale

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

maiden wedge <@738410074548207716> def if u went with 3080 card go for a 1440p monitor becaus...

im turning down settings anyway cuz i play on competitive settings for best fps. i play cs go, ow, rocket league, warzone, fortnite sometimes, raft, ark. so i dont know what monitor should i get. for 240hz i was looking at the alienware aw2521hf or the msi optix mag251rx

warped night Nov 29, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

Neither

#

Odyssey G7

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

@dawn karma id go with optix, alienware is great but they rlly upsell their stuff

#

but if u drop the settings why do u even bother with a 240 hz monitor?

#

@warped night not everyone wants to blow 600 bucks on a monitor, and quiet frankly not worth it

#

@dawn karma whats ur price range low to max ur willing to pay cuz do u really notice a difference between 240 fps and 144? if u do then more power to u

#

oh wait u got the 2080 so it qould be pointless to go 144 hz lol

#

but ye go with the msi monitor

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

maiden wedge <@330952792372019203> id go with optix, alienware is great but they rlly upsell ...

if i go with 1440p 144/165hz, what monitor would you recomment?

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

@dawn karma uhm one sec

#

same bduget 300-400?

warped night Nov 29, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

Pixio PX7 Prime for 1440p 165hz

visual pilot Nov 29, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

@warped night sadly px7 prime stock is like gone

#

otherwise it's good for actually being hdr400

#

@dawn karma Gigabyte M27q

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

maiden wedge same bduget 300-400?

yes same budget

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 5:56 PM

the m27q for sure

@visual pilot and i got that >:)

It's so simple tho

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

do you know if i order the m27q from newegg, do i get warranty on it?

visual pilot Nov 29, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

dell and alienware monitors are like UHD88142963941289164

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

me bad with memiries haha

#

@dawn karma u get a standard warranty

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

what is the standard

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

all appliances come with a standard warranty

visual pilot Nov 29, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

You get the manufacturer warranty from any retailer

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

ok tnx

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

it depends on manufacturer

#

but most are 3 yrs

#

so buying a warranty is pointless unless u want to extend beyond that

#

and they know itll work for atleast warranty time and then kill u when it expires

#

but the standard regardless of any monitor is 1 yr

#

so trust me, if it lives a yr itll live for 3, until u cant use the warranty anymore, then it goes to sht :)

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

what is the difference betweehn the m27q and the g27qc

visual pilot Nov 29, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

G27qc is VA, M27q is IPS

maiden wedge Nov 29, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

^^ haha

#

u dont want va with a gpu like that u want beautiful grqphics so u need ips

#

not that theres a big diff between the 2 but one is more worth it

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

but is 1440p required for the games i play?

#

because i play fast paced games

visual pilot Nov 29, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

It's always nice to have more pixels

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

ugh why is it so hard to choose

sage trail Nov 29, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

IPS is slightly, but unnoticeably, better than VA

#

the resolution you need is entirely dependent on the size of monitor you want, the distance the panel will be from your eyes, and the gpu your system has

#

and a refresh rate greater than 60 is nothing more than a nice to have, unless you are playing FPS games

#

specifically 144hz

visual pilot Nov 29, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

for FPS games 144hz is amazing

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

i have a 3070, i played on some 27 inch monitors and it felt weird because i always played on 24". 95% of my games are fps

sage trail Nov 29, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

144hz minimum then

visual pilot Nov 29, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

1440p over 1080p just looks really nice, and in some games it could matter for holding a pixel peek vs 4 pixel wide peek yaknow

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

i already have a 1080p 144hz but i feel like my gpu is a waste on that monitor because i can push 240 on almost all my games

sage trail Nov 29, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

most people cant differentiate between 144 and 240

#

if you can, then 240 is awesome

#

and totally worth it

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

i felt a little difference when playing on 240 especially on the latecny part

sage trail Nov 29, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

do you play with high or low mouse sens?

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

800 dpi and sens is medium i guess not high but not low

sage trail Nov 29, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

my mouse sens is quite high, which is why 240 over 144 makes more of a difference to me

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

yeah i can see why, because you have faster movments on your monitor

sage trail Nov 29, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

yep

#

1440p 240hz monitors are just too expensive for most people tho

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

yeah too expensive for me

sage trail Nov 29, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

so if you were to choose between 1440p@144hz and 1080p@240hz, i would suggest the former

#

because you will totally notice the difference between 1440p and 1080p easily in every game you play

#

and your 3070 will handle it like a champ

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

so you recommend 1440?

sage trail Nov 29, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

1440p@144hz is what i would recommend

#

costs like 250 USD

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

not in my country haha

visual pilot Nov 29, 2020, 6:19 PM

much lower fee than amazon usa

visual pilot Nov 29, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

yea

sage trail Nov 29, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

basing what i know off of USD pricing, 1440p 144hz is cheaper than 1080p 240hz

#

so theres another reason i would suggest 1440p

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

they say the m27q cant deliver to my adress i will try a different monitor

#

Why import fees are 100 euros

#

ASUS TUF Gaming VG27WQ1B good for 442 euros?

#

its about 540 usd

sage trail Nov 29, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

kinda expensive

#

does that include the shipping costs tho

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

yeah including everything

#

honestly i think i might just go with the aw2521hfl 240hz and thats it

#

if i regret i think i would just sell it and get a 1440p

sage trail Nov 29, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

yeah 240hz nice

#

just depends on what you think you would prefer

#

if you do go 1080p, make sure its 24 inches,

#

1080p at 24" is already mediocre, let alone 27"

dawn karma Nov 29, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Yeah 1080p 27” inch pixel density is not good

#

Its a 24

It seems to me that it must not be possible to run that setup that I was talking about. I guess that's why 1440p 240hz is so popular now. I just don't want to compromise with size or resolution if I don't have to.

Because 4k 120 are not in stock anywhere and TVs have too low a refresh rate.

correct, just rotation

eager sinew Dec 2, 2020, 2:34 AM

Vertical monitors are good for... coding mostly

Maybe looking at data

idk

I have been running with the right monitor rotated but I've seen several images with the left one rotated.

#

I'm just throwing darts, but maybe the horizontal one should be your dominant eye?

fickle vigil Dec 2, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

Coding is the reason that I initially rotated mine. Was curious if there are other reasons that I am not aware of.

eager sinew Dec 2, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

Sometimes people rotate small monitors to make them match up to big monitors

#

Coding is the only real application I can think of

fickle vigil Dec 2, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

When gaming, I've found having one rotated is nice so you can stack discord, browser window, ect...easier to scan vertically than horizontally.

eager sinew Dec 2, 2020, 2:39 AM

Right

#

I just bought a cheap 1440p that can rotate, for that reason

blazing ingot Dec 2, 2020, 5:30 PM

Va are nice contrast but have delay and can ghost. Tn are fast and cheap but not as good quality (lower contrast and whatnot)

Ips are kinda the sweet spot where they can hit the fast turnover times and still have good contrast, and also have just top notch viewing angles and color reproduction

blazing ingot Dec 2, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

Influenza I don't own it but i looked at the listing. All the stats seem good except it seems a little dim, and it's VA with 5ms response so there's a possibility of slight ghosting during really fast gameplay with dark objects, but I can't say if it does that or not.

In the reviews a few people said it was dim and also a few got dead pixels but I think there's always a few of any monitor that get a few dead.

blazing ingot Dec 4, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

I very much doubt the 3070 will hit above 60hz at 4k much

#

It's maybe worth future proofing for a new card, but that seems cheap for a 4k 144hz. You'd have to check the brightness, contrast ratio, viewing angles, etc

Is it tn?

my viewsonic monitor just came in

hybrid solar Dec 4, 2020, 7:22 AM

#

what is a good 4k monitor for gaming

blazing ingot Dec 4, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

That depends

#

A lot of systems can't run 4k over 60 hz

#

If yours can you'll want a monitor that can handle it

#

If yours can't you'll have to ask yourself if you really want 4k 60hz for gaming or if you might prefer 1440 at 144+ hertz

#

Beside that do you do fast response stuff that wants a super low response time, or more casual stuff that is fine with longer response times

#

4k is really hard to get the high hertz and 1ms response competitive gamers love, so you're doing it for the picture resolution, so a lot comes down to what matters to you, what brightness, what contrast ratio, etc

anyone able to help me out here? I have a acer nitro xv270 and its plugged in via display port and its been working fine for a bout a month. This morning I turned on my pc and it just stopped giving a signal. I didnt touch the cord or anything so I am not sure what the issue is. It keeps auto switching to HDMI even though there is no hdmi plugged into the monitor. but when i hard set it to display its still giving me no signal anyone know what i can do?

Questions for the collective mind group here. I have an old HP Envy 20 touchsmart all in one. I know it is ancient. About 3 years ago, when my wife was using it, the monitor just went black. We had not messed with it much after our last move. Yesterday I was bored so I was goofing around. It still turns on and it seems everything is running, except the monitor, still black. I did all the troubleshooting from the HP site and cannot get it to reset the BIOS, which should help with the monitor if it is still good. My question is; Does anybody know how I can test the monitor before I just start changing parts? Is there a way to hook up another monitor and get the motherboard to recognize it so I can see what is going on, there are no other ports besides 6 USB ports. No VGA, no HDMI. Or should I just pull the hard drive and move on? This was a great machine for us in its day and we want to use it for our daughter.

full moat Dec 4, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

not much you can do if you cannot plug something in that gives you an output

#

because its all internal

celest lichen Dec 4, 2020, 3:45 PM

@full moat so i think i have a slightly different issue here

celest lichen Dec 4, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

yay 😦

full moat Dec 4, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

start by doing a bios reset of your machine

#

just in case the gpu is confused about "something"

#

(it most likely wont change anything, but it does not hurt anything either)

celest lichen Dec 4, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

how would i go about doing that. I know how to get into bios just not how to reset like ur talking about

full moat Dec 4, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

have a look in your mainboard manual :)

#

it has the schematic/info for it

celest lichen Dec 4, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

ok now im also supposed to be getting my rtx 3060ti today, should I maybe just wait and install that and see if everything works fine?

full moat Dec 4, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

aye, that is the simpler solution :)

#

you could do the HMDMI test with your current gpu thou

#

just to see what it says to that

celest lichen Dec 4, 2020, 4:00 PM

so it would deffinitly be nice for me lol

blazing ingot Dec 4, 2020, 10:54 PM

i suggest some arts and crafts.

#

make 23.5"x13.25" images of what your screen would look like using like snapshot and paint. print it out across multiple papers and cut to size

#

put three of those in front of you

#

two 27 inch is still a TON of screen

#

also 1080 doesn't look great at 27"

#

as monitors get bigger with the same amount of pixels you start to notice them more

valid hatch Dec 4, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

i am also definitely considering 24'

that would be a little large

wdym "all over the place"

opaque tinsel Dec 5, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

As you can see

#

1-2ms is possible on the tuf but it causes ghosting on 1, on 2 it works

#

Reviews back it up*

#

i dont understand what youre talking about

opaque tinsel Dec 5, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

On the tuf the 1ms response time advertised is possible

sage trail Dec 5, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

ok

opaque tinsel Dec 5, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

But it causes ghosting, on 2ms it doesn't ghost

#

The Samsung is just set at 4ms and idk if that's based

#

i dont think the time it takes for the pixel to change colors is up to the user

#

thats just a panel characteristic

opaque tinsel Dec 5, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

Reviews say different

#

Overdrive and stuff like that

sage trail Dec 5, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

if you put your monitor into overdrive, then it will speed up the monitor, and the pixels will switch faster with less accuracy

#

so, pro tip

#

dont do that

opaque tinsel Dec 5, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

Yes I'm aware, reviews I've read gave good settings with limited ghosting

sage trail Dec 5, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

or just leave it default?

opaque tinsel Dec 5, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

Why?

sage trail Dec 5, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

because you dont need to change it

opaque tinsel Dec 5, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

But to properly set the monitor you need to

sage trail Dec 5, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

what are you even planning to configure?

opaque tinsel Dec 5, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

The refresh rate and response time

#

Tuf has other options as well if I get it

#

Like elmb I think that's the acronym

sage trail Dec 5, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

if you dont care about colors, just get a TN panel

#

done

#

you dont have to do a thing

Okay but I need a link to one that's cheap
