do you need it to be 27 inch?
27 inch is bad
real bad
unfortunately, beggars cant be choosers, and those are the three cheapest i could dig up
No I don't need it to be 27 in
the third link is 25 inch, which is better
Those aren't as good as the tuf at those prices
what tuf
I have it ordered
its a good monitor for professional gaming
I'm just looking at options
go away
I dont think you can find any thats cheaper but better than the asus
just know that the monitor have poor input lag on console gaming
or anything thats low fps
I'm aware
But with the asus you can configure the overdrive and lower it
Stuff like that
can I go for a freesync monitor with a nvidia gpu 
yeah
looking for a new monitor for my dual 1080ti rig... any input on a new one?
I trade crypto, type code and play games on the desktop... so I was considering 1 wide-screen that could fit 2 fully open displays.... or 3 cheaper monitors with bezel free kit... any imput
Can someone help me find a good gaming monitor that is 1440 IPS and has GSYNC? I am new to tech so I dont know.
I found this monitor from ASUS https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CZ8QJTX/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 I was thinking I should get it, what do you guys think?
from what i can see from the specs and reviews that seems like a good one
Would you recommend anything else?
personally no, i'm not an expert though, just a guy who went through the same process recently. I settled on the pretty similar omen 27i, but it was more about what was on sale right then for me, as theres a few monitors with those specs that seem to be mostly sidegrades with very very minor differences based on preference
just to be clear, the monitor is gsync compatable, not full gsync - that probably shouldn't matter at all to you, but just in case you were really concerned about actual gsync
gsync compatable means its not made with the official gsync chip but its been officially tested to work with gsync for all the base features
Ok thanks, I think I am just going to go with the ASUS one.
quick question is 24" enough for gaming or should i shell out the extra cash for 27"?
24 is fine for 1080. if you go 1440, 27 is great
lol im kind of a noob but is there a noticeable dif between 144O and 1O8O?
👍🏻
1440p is so 27inch monitor doesnt look blurry and will look more sharp on 24inch
alright thanks guys 👍🏻
Should I do 1080p or 1440 with a 3060ti
1440
you most likely dont want 1080 at 27 inch. I'd suggest either a 24" 1080p or a 27" 1440p
people generally agree 27" is the point where 1080 is just too blurry
can someone help me with setting up a second display
i'm trying to plug the HDMI in to my aorus b450 mobo(my gpu is occupied with main display), but 1) windows doesn't detect it and 2) the monitor doesn't show anything itself.
generally systems do not like to split between the two, either do all gpu or all motherboard
and dont do all motherboard
i only have one HDMI port for my GPU
then you get one monitor
time to return it then
if you had displayport theres an option to do two displays off one port, but hdmi will only allow one output per port
what is the GPU?
MSI 1050 TI 4GB
that seems to have 3 ports on it
it has displayport hdmi(used) and VGA
so use displayport for one of the monitors
okay i need an adapter
I got a new monitor, a BenQ GL2480, and for the most part it works fine. But sometiems during motion scenes when watching tv shows or movies, it does this weird ghosting type effect. Is that because the refresh rate isn't matched up or something?
I was getting the same thing on my new display, I found that switching the response time from fastest down to faster got rid of the ghosting that I would get when pixels would switch from pure Black to pure White
Does anybody think they could help me pick out a good monitor to see if the one that I have just purchased is worth keeping, or if I should go with something else?
@mystic cobalt Sorry if I sound dumb, but how I do switch the response time?
I'm not really sure, it's different between different displays, and some of them don't even have the option
all I know is that when I went from the forced three millisecond response time to the five millisecond response time, the image that I was viewing had zero ghosting
I think I found a solution to it for the most part. Something in the picture settings I had turned on. It's still stuttering a tiny bit, but a lot of that annoying ghosting is gone.
any suggested monitors for a 1660 super?
1080p144hz
Best display for
Dual 1080ti screen for stocks, coding and gaming
any brand preference?
I thought Samsung would be nice with wide-screen and I figured I could also watch movies on it... something that will be easy on the eyes for long periods
Has anyone played esports titles like overwatch on the 27 inch Samsun odyssey g7?
https://www.amazon.com/ALIENWARE-AW2521HF-24-5-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B087N4LQPN/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=alienware+240hz+monitor&qid=1607245929&sr=8-2#customerReviews this a good one ive been doing some research and this one seems to be very good for what it is
I have dell s2440l release date 2012, processor i5,3470,gpu rx570 4gb, 8gb ram. If i change my monitor would it effect on display better result? Please advise
Should i upgrade my monitor or its ok
so am i in the giveaway
is qled over normal led worth it
Isnt qled just samsungs gimmick?
Just bought a 29 inch ultra wide LG display for 60 bucks with a vesa arm
So Im getting a monitor soon. 1440p 144hz. Should I get 24" or 27"?
I've heard that 1440p its better to go with 27"
27" is a lot better imo, perfect size, i wish it was the standard
id get it, its only 60hz 1ms resposne time
but*
the border seems really thicc and the big white bold UHD on the bottom left would keep me from using it as a main monitor though
does the viewsonic vx2758 2kp mhd support gsync?
i know it says freesync but i have seen a lot of displays supporting freesync support gsync as well
Yes I believe so
alright ty
The ViewSonic® VX2758-2KP-MHD is a 27” WQHD IPS gaming monitor built for gaming and entertainment. With a sleek frameless design, the VX2758-2KP-MHD provides a seamless viewing experience for multi-monitor gaming setups.
always verify
i checked on another website and it says it does support it though nvidia's software
so basically yes
Yeah, I read up on a site and it said essentially “not officially but tl;dr yes”, said the same on Reddit and one other site, hence the “believe so” lol
granted didn’t check that official one
as long as you are willing to bet on that "basically" part
I overclocked my 30hz monitor to 360hz
runs amazing
catches on fire every now and then but it’s fine
anyone have experience with GIGABYTE M27Q? it's rather new so not that many reviews on it but the ones that are out are praising it quite well
There's this review

@mental peak
yeah, that's one of the ones i've seen. seems like a great deal, no?
i’m switching from 60 to 240hz in christmas. is it a huge change ???
i went from 60hz to 165hz and it was pretty noticeable, if you go back to 60 its veryyy noticeable
i went from 60hz to 165hz and it was pretty noticeable, if you go back to 60 its veryyy noticeable
@covert solstice thx
@mental peak for me, I think it's a great deal
sweet. i just ordered one
Yeah I went from 60 to 144 and man, for me it’s a world of difference. 1440p 144hz > 4K 60hz imo
can u guys recommend me a good 240hz 1080p monitor , i don’t care about image quality i just want a perfect monitor for competitive
360hz is "perfect" for comp >:D
Is it worth it to spend the extra money on Nano IPS compared to IPS?
@burnt cove "Nano IPS" is marketing really, if you want to put marketing against marketing, M27q uses "Superspeed IPS" :P
M37q still imo
Yeah I found it thanks for that
M27Q looks awesome. can't wait to get mine
Same price with a $30 promo
it's actually $10 more on amazon
I was talking newegg
how is this monitor? just looking around
looks to be a good price for an ultrawide
looks good to me
have used viotek monitors before, cheap but if your only after specs it does all it needs to with a good price @sullen dock
what is a good monitor with 1080p and 144hz also 1ms?
what size/price?
yeah, not seeing anything that cheap
this looks goodhttps://pcpartpicker.com/product/LXMwrH/acer-xfa240-bmjdpr-240-1920x1080-144-hz-monitor-xfa240-bmjdpr

@maiden wedge whats ur budget?

I would suggest u go for a 1440p monitor 144hz because its 2020
ok ill do that
lemme check the reviews on it
ok
yea that one is pretty good, I would suggest
or if u can spend an extra $30

@maiden wedge
Actually @maiden wedge for sure go for the tuf gaming monitor
come with G-sync
the other one dosent
ok
I'm trying to find a good 1440p monitor thats g-sync, curved, and 4-1ms response time and I do not really have a budget
Call me An Idiot, but i'm looking for a 60hz, 24-27 inch monitor for under 200 AUD.

there are other options, let me know
Well, if you spend a little more you can get a true gameing pannel
@maiden wedge
I have this one here: https://www.amazon.com/VG278Q-G-Sync-Compatible-Adaptive-Monitor/dp/B074JLD4HZ Great monitor for 1080p gaming. I'll be selling it once my new 1440p comes in tomorrow.
oh cool
you can probably find a used one locally on craigslist or offerup. if you're in AZ i'll sell you mine
any good big monitors that can turn to be sideways and also swivel and have height adjustments?
I have inventory in Alaska
He wants 60Hz and the prices are in AUD
thanks though 😉
ooooh, I am a halfwit
what are the best monitors240hz 1080p for competitive ?
anybody know if MSI g241 23.8 in 144 hz 1 ms moniter any good
I have the 27" and it's pretty good
G241 is great
Where can I buy a 300hz gaming monitor?
is the BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K worth getting in 2020? Or should i go with somthing like the Alienware 25 AW2521HF which has an ips pannel
does the Alienware 25 AW2521HF have ulmb?
which one would be bettter for the most competitive gaming?
Black frame insertion?
im not to sure what it is but its said to just reduce motion blur
like zowie has dyac and alienware is said to have somthing called ulmb
both backlight strobing technology
yah that what i saw while looking it up and coudlt really find anything on it
ik the XL2546K does but idk if a tn pannel in 2020 is worth it
meh
but the XL2546K is used by many pros
so the top is alienware and bottom zowie in motion blur test
and with dyac enabled on zowie monitor the brightness barely goes down
compared to the asus monitors with ELMB which truns the brightness wayy down
but for just sheer gaming do you think it is worth spending the extra 100$ for a tn pannel ?
TN is crap for color accuracy, but pixel response time is superior
go for a 240hz TN panel for gaming
ok thanks
I'm not sure if someone already answered but check out the BenQ ZOWIE XL2540
@maiden wedge what you think about the BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K?
looks great too !
not sure what the differences are though @normal dragon
they look pretty similar to me
@maiden wedge i think the BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K is slightly faster and has a newer design
XL2540 doesnt have dyac
@dry trout BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K 500 on amazon and BenQ ZOWIE XL2540 is like 600$ since i think they stop making them'
if your going to choose one I think go with BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K thats the one I plan on getting
or the non k
which is around 470
but its said that the coloration on the monitors sucks and yyour gana needa get it calibrated
but from what ive seen on various articles and videos the BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K is a very good monitor used by many pros, but not for long since they will probalyy all switch to 360hz in the near future
AOC C24G1 24" Curved Frameless Gaming Monitor, FHD 1080p, 1500R https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GD7H18F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_97b0Fb9QEWMFN?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Is this is a good 144hz monitor? If not any suggestions.
but from what ive seen on various articles and videos the BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K is a very good monitor used by many pros, but not for long since they will probalyy all switch to 360hz in the near future
@normal dragon i would definitely take the zowie but it is out of my budget is there any cheaper options ?
@dry trout i have no idea ive only done research on the BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K and BenQ ZOWIE XL2546
but if you just want a decent gaming monitor with 240hz i would reccomend the ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QM 280 hz which has an ips pannel 1ms with elmb which is like zowies dyac but just worse from what ive seen
and when you enable elmb the brightness will go down like half
on the asus and pretty much any other pannel i belive
except zowie which goes down only like 20 nits or somthing like that
but my friend has a monitor with elmb and so far he says its fine
if I put a MSI Optix MAG24C and a MSI Optix MAG240CR next to each other would they look good? MAG24C price has went crazy since I bought mine and the MAG240CR looks very similar on paper, but don't want to get it and doesn't look the same up close
i just want a good 240hz monitor but 450 or less 😢😢😢
any preference on the panel type ?
and screen size ?
is 23.8 too small?
preference on panel type? Which is usually better nowadays TN right?
IPS is overall best because of the color accuracy, then it's VA, then it's TN
but usually higher refresh rate monitors are TN cause pixel response time is superior
even though colors are terrible
for IPS I would recommend the Optix MAG251RX
for TN maaaybe a ViewSonic XG2530

that's like a good one for 300 USD
other than that...
it seems not bad and is a budget option for 1440p 144hz
you gotta preorder and wait till feb 2021 tho
I wonder if i answered your question 
That 2021 rly hit hard
Reason: Bad word usage
are you planning to buy a new monitor ?
Yeah my samsung one i hate
i see
its bulky was over priced and the joy stick doesnt even work
hmm
should i wait a while?
well, do you have a fixed budget ?
500 dollars is the limit but ofc i dont wanna touch that
thats what yall adults consider "breaking the bank"
aha
so realistically 400 is the limit
well i think you can get a high end 1440p 144hz monitor for 500
Well like
is that the best thing for general use
like a good medium of refresh and picture?
budget of 400 is fine too
well for general use i would recommend 1080p
if you're gaming higher refresh rate is recommended (144hz +)
1440p increases pixels on your monitor
indeed
Do you notice it
But like is it worth that extra 100+
are you gaming ?
you gotta make sure that your gpu can push 1440p 144hz
if you have a 2060, i would personally go for 1080p 165hz
that's my personal opinion though
(rather than 1440p)
i have absolutely no basis for arguing
that's all good 🙂
So like, 144 vs 165
you could ask for other people's opinion if you want
165hz are pretty common too
just that 20ish hz refresh rate boost
that i believe, iirc, your gpu can "support"
i mean push frames for
iirc?
if i recall correctly
i mean id rather have the monitor overly good compared to my gpu incase i upgrade the gpu
not the other way around
so then
1080 165hz
I would still go 1080p, unless you want the number of pixels fancy 1440p has to offer
I rly wouldnt know the difference
for casual gaming 1080p 165Hz, even 1080p 144Hz is great
ive never seen 1440
I use 1440
you should probably ask for other people's opinion
can't tell cause i only own 1 1080p 144hz monitor
ill ask youtube later
There's three common resolutions right now, 1080, 1440, and 4k. There's a few common max refresh rates at 60, 144, 165, and 240. And the sizes are usually 24, 27, or 31 unless you go ultrawide
1080 should not be used on monitorsbigger than 24, it looks blurry
that's what i would cop
If you want to stick to 1080 I would not go over 24 inch
if I had a RTX 2060
There's a lot out right now, I'm not up on the best 1080s
im assuming there isnt a end all be all monitor
There isnt
rip
There's also tn vs ips vs va
ips.
<2ms
Sure
1ms yeah
2ms is fine too
Prob not
mouse latency is a lot higher and not even that is noticabke
Ltt did a good two part series about how refresh rate affects performance. And yeah there was some stuff common to everyone and some stuff that only applies to regular people and some stuff that only applies to fps pros
i am a pro
if u cwnt tell
i only accept 320hz and above
i play on 12 pixels for max speed
well ima be on the look out for a 1080p, 165hz, 1ms, 24in monitor. With no color accents cause fk that
👍
thanks restart and kizo
prices are kinda crazy right now
see you around
I have a freesync monitor, how can I enable adaptive sync on it? ("Configure G-Sync" doesn't show up in the NVIDIA Control Panel)
Not all freesync monitors work with gsync
If it does, youd find the adaptive sync setting in the monitor controls, turn it on, and close and restart the nvidia control panel and it should show up
how much should i put into a 144hz monitor? i was thinking about 200 dollars or 250
Well that depends. A 24 inch 1080p 144hz tn panel with 5ms response will be not even a fraction of an ultrawide 51" curved 4k 144hz ips with 1ms response
Is this monitor good for competitive ?? MSI Optix MAG251RX
I think for a 27 inch 1440 p at 144 1ms ips you hit a sweet spot at like 350-450 msrp
specs are great
and suitable for competitive
I just paid 300 for a 34
now I gotta wait until gpus are cheap again. every game I play is gonna run pretty bad in 1440p I think
is the zowie xl2536 a good monitor? and i cant find stock
which 144 hz will you recommend to get instead of it
depends
i just care for 1080 p 144hz 1 ms

isn't the XL2536 sold out everywhere ?
do you want IPS by the way ?

cheapest in stock is amazon $264 i believe... unfortunate
i will wait then lol 50 over msrp is out of my budget

What are some recommended monitors that run at 1440p240hz with an IPS Panel, with partial-or-full HDR?
oh yeah time to ask for a premium 1440p monitor.
@patent lagoon doesnt really matter
hardly anyone makes one @dry badger
I saw Alienwares solution but uh.
$1,100
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012018?Description=gigabyte monitor&cm_re=gigabyte_monitor-_-24-012-018-_-Product&quicklink=true @untold rune this might be your best bet as everything is out of stock rn
what you need the 240hz for? @dry badger
ah ok thank you
Mostly for creature comforts and future proofing. Although if there is a 144hz version that meets what I want, I won’t mind
Looking for 27in 1440p 144hz monitors with an IPS Panel. Ping me or dm me a link if you have a recommendation
that one i linked is perfect for you @dry badger
the jump from 144hz to 240hz isnt worth buying into
imo
Display Port 1.2-
ouch
@maiden wedge that one i linked will fit well
not seeing a problem :l
explain
not too into the versions of hdmi much less dp @dry badger
Yeah.
Thanks a lot
np
I’d definitely like to run a DP 1.4 display.
Just remembered 1.4 is only really necessary for 4K 🗿
exactly
you're only gonna be running a 32" screen max
so in other words
there's your monitor in that link considering there aren't any others for that price
Soo lc27rg50
Dying to find a vesa mount for HP omen 25 inch
do you want high refresh rate or ultrawide or higher resolution
high refresh rate
oh let me find it
because you are going to be delegated to 1080p high quality monitors unless you want a lower quality 1440p
never mind i found this one that i have heard is good and at is the top of the range
oh ok thanks, how bad would the "lower quality 1440p" be?
when i said lower i meant 1080p
ahh ok
i was going to find you a low end 240hz monitor
yea the one you sent looks pretty good
@native quartz so the one you sent is out of stock, I could wait for it but just out of curiosity how good is this monitor compared to it? https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012018?Description=gigabyte monitor&cm_re=gigabyte_monitor-_-24-012-018-_-Product&quicklink=true
i couldnt tell you because i have no experience with it but i would say to look at online reviews to check the motion blur
because that is the biggest problem that i have found with lower end monitors
i read a couple of reviews and it looks like there is a problem with dead pixels so if you are willing to go through that hassel then go ahead but other wise it looks like it should be good
yea im worried about the dead pixels, might just wait for the other one to come in stock then
wait one last one what about this, if this is no good either then my final desicion will be to just wait for the other one to come in stock: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VG27WQ1B-Supports-Adaptive-sync-DisplayPort/dp/B088MKHW7M/ref=sr_1_4?crid=Z2D50PA2PTTL&dchild=1&keywords=monitor+144hz+1440p&qid=1607610601&s=electronics&sprefix=monitors+14%2Celectronics%2C175&sr=1-4
actually now that I read the reviews
looks like theres some motion blur problems
nvm then
yeah it is hard with these budget monitors
i mean the other equvalent would be a lower end 240hz 1080p panel
i mean this one looks pretty good and the reviews seem to indicate that the problems that it has can be fixed by a firmware update
oh wow it does look pretty nice
you think I should get it?
the price seems perfect
yeah and i mean it looks like it doesnt suffer from the problems of the other gigabyte monitors
but i mean you are luck to even have a 3060ti
yea I got super lucky XD
I just happened to stumble upon best buy and saw that they were in stock
wow
i mean i have seen one in the microcenter near me but i am to broke and my parents would let me take a lone
ah rip, i've been working for months to save up for this pc
yeah i mean i was going to work over the summer but the global pandemic sort of messed it up
yea rip, our walmart needs a lot of new workers cause of the pandemic and so I was able to easily get a job there
yeah it alot harder when you are 14 though
yeah i mean i was going to work over the summer but the global pandemic sort of messed it up
@native quartz wait how did you work at 14
a job lined up at a subsidiary of the company that my dad works at
but i mean this also isnt a conversation for #old-monitors-and-tv
Do you guys know what’s the best 1440p 144hz monitor under $320ish
well, this is a bit more but is very good
but if you really need it to be cheaper:
isnt the m27q cheaper
or this thing Samsung LC27G55TQWNXZA
so if I enable VSR on my AMD card and switch the resolution in games to 1440, is that the kind of FPS I would get if I had an actual 1440 monitor?
nm. I think I found a YouTube that's explaining it
apparently it should be pretty close according to random YouTuber
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FXZVJH6/ref=emc_b_5_mob_t
Is this a good monitor?
yes, great
If I were to game FPS games competitively what’s a good monitor?
And is IPS really worth it over VA?
i just got into trying to build a budget gaming setup and pc, do you guys have suggestions for 1080p monitors under 200? or am i cheaping out
1080p 60hz is cheapo
1080p 144hz is like 140 at the cheapest
1080p 240hz is 300 at the cheapest
i kind of want to go for 1080p 144hz, i dont wanna cheap out so much to the point its not worth the money, do you have any suggestions?
seems like there are some good ones out there for around 200
AOC 27G2 27" Frameless Gaming IPS Monitor, FHD 1080P, 1ms 144Hz, NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible + Adaptive-Sync, Height Adjustable, 3-Year Zero Dead Pixel Guarantee, Black/Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WSK5W7V/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_fabc_SHO0Fb2D03T2M?psc=1
I had been looking at the curved qhd version of that which seemed good
so it might be a while before i actually build my pc, i mean a couple of months, would you suggest i buy a monitor now before the bump up in price, or do you think waiting is the best bet
I'd say wait, unless you have a video card you can use for the time being
although I heard cpus are also expensive now
I was assuming there would be good deals on video cards right now after the 3000's came out but that turned out not to be the case
even the old ones are overpriced now
lots of good deals on monitors though so I figured now is as good a time as any to upgrade to 1440p
yeah i have 0 peripherals or component parts, i have some money right now so i want to spend right now if it saves me money on peripherals in the long run
yeah, I guess I dunno, there might be good deals on other parts right now. all I've been paying attention to lately is monitors and video cards
cpu I paid like 180 for in August is up to 230. weird that I actually bought that at the right time.
okay is it alright if i send a few links and tell me what you think?
yeah part prices are just fluctuating crazy
oh yeah like o saw the rules like, i just found some on amazon so idk if id be breaking the rules
yeah I dunno if links are really allowed
I think one time I got a Newegg link removed even
oh okay thats alright then ill have someone look into them
thank you for the suggestion though
maybe just post the model names of stuff in #building-and-recc-chat. there always seems to be someone that knows stuff in there
alright i will
yes. yes u can lol
i hope im not spamming. i got 5 links is that too much, i dont wanna upset discord or anything.
how did you trim it though
notice where i cut it off
i see
u only need to copy and paste that bit
Buy Acer SB220Q bi 21.5 Inches Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Ultra-Thin Zero Frame Monitor (HDMI & VGA Port), Black: Everything Else - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases
okay those are my monitors
or what i plan on choosing from
i had various budget suggestion
no like im willing to buy any of these
so i narrowed based on price. i would to know which is the best
okay thats my bad so you can leave that out
just the one
mkay
you dont want the view sonic?
it is a little pricey ig
also i am in no way the person to ask this as ive only ever owned 3 monitors
also does ur setup have a theme?
okay this is my bad i really didnt pick these out well, like price was lowered before i never tried to check thats my bad
yeah ur prices go 100 to 275
ummm i mean i plan on adjusting it to an anime like theme but seeing the monitors i dont think that any monitors impede my theme
yes i would change that to 23.8 inch for 130.00 dollars
yeah i really got messy with alm this lol
and ur desired refresh rate?
so theres only like a few right like
60, 70 122, 144
i know theres more
max is 144
okay so then the 130 acer isnt for you
you wouldnt say so
it is 75hz
oh god im really not paying attention well hesus
yeesh lmao
know what u want then find some options lol
also consider what your graphics card can handle
yeah youre right my bad
@azure hollow i dont have pc pc parts yet which sounds dumb, but i plan on having a gpu sufficient for it, i might aim lower than 144 tho, but at least near a the 100s
Asus GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB TUF GAMING OC Video Card
i might even get a different one cause that was for my previous budget
i had people make a parts list for me
and for budget reasons they had me get a small motherboard

okay gimme sec
bruh what
here is another from rhis discord
mmm i see
ima switch to dms so we dont clog chat
How do I remove that?
@visual pilot Hey i have a question, i am running an lg 2k monitor right now (27inch) if i were to add another 2k monitor of the sama size or an ultrawide. Will my fps drop? Because my gpu has to power two monitor albeit i will be using the second monitor for discord or light browsing when i play games
@dusty widget Im doing something similar
I don't notice much of a drop
I have an LG 1080p 24" 144hz for primary gaming and a samsung 28" 4k 60hz for light gaming, discord, and netflix
Ahh i see
Thats good to hear
Maybe i should get a cheaper panel
For my secondary screen
I'm running a xfx raw 2 5700xt gpu
Only reason I got 4k was for netflix
Otherwise I would've gotten a second 24" 144hz LG
Both have 1ms latency btw
Probably a good choice
My samsung 4k was $300 on Black Friday at best buy
My lg was $150 at walmart, not on sale
You can get nice panels on sale
any cheep 240hz 1ms monitors that are good?
cheap and good
lmao
the word ur looking for is inexpensive. and i dont think so not rn at least
but im not a guru at this
@maiden wedge depends on what you call cheap lol
Only asus is selling monitors w that high refresh
i didnt look too much into the TN panels for 240hz but the ips ones have a few top contender for good monitor.
i currently have a ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q ($600, 27") and got it a week ago. is there any cheaper option that doesn't have much of a difference? any recommendations?
Thats a rip off. Look at this for half the price GIGABYTE G27QC 27" 165Hz 1440P Curved Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 VA 1500R Display, 1ms
Mine came with no dead pixels and unnoticeable backlight bleeding, u can see a little if you are on a black screen, in dark theme games you cant see it, unless you plan on staring on a black screen you wont see it lol
uh so long story short, i got mad and my monitor is now green 👍
ive hit it a couple times to get it fixed but doesnt seem to work
i can see stuff but its just green
its like ive toggeled night vision
if its NOT just a loose cable, then you have won the right to buy a new monitor
best of luck
thanks
Or if its still under warranty and its unnoticeable that you punch it replace it, ofc dont say you got mad
if you want a 1440p165hz ips option, px7 prime is nice and has very nice colors
its uhm like 5-6 years old and is 2nd hand
hi
what cables do i need to connect surface pro 7 dock 2 hub to two monitors with dvd-d 18 pin input. any assitance appreciated
hm, so the only difference is that this one is not IPS? Not sure how thatll go
g7 oddsyes better than ips panel somehow :?
I would always go samsung
Ok
I'm looking for a monitor
-27in
-1440p
-144hz+
Has anyone experience with pixio ?
Does anyone know if monitor barrel plugs are standard sizes? I lost mine today moving houses and I can't find a solid answer online as to if I can but a generic one with the same wattage and call it a day
@autumn flame barrel plugs?
the thing that plugs into the monitor
You mean the same kind that the ps4 uses?
If not, than no, they're not all the same
damn okay thanks
@autumn flame 👍
They might look the same, but they might not be rated for the same amount of power
Made that mistake with my drill.
Battery caught fire
Now you might be able to find one online that's made for the monitor, but if you're not 100% sure I wouldn't risk it
VA best panel
is it worth getting a 1440p monitor if I currently have a rtx 2060 but plan on upgrading to a 3070 when it becomes available?
I'm looking for a new monitor cause my current monitor has gone bad
What size @wild charm
32 inch
I was so close to getting a 1080p monitor cause I was afraid I'd get massive performance differences in black ops cold war and cyberpunk but I was told I could change resolution to 1080p if 1440p was too demanding
Why so big lmao
I figured I might as well since I also watch a lot of movies too and when I do I like to sit back in my chair
Mmm
yeah I'd say my pc time is distributed evenly with watching movies/yt vids/streams and playing games.. I have never used a 32 in though.. my previous one was a 27 in
So, right now for a monitor Im using a vizio smart tv. It's nice, 24 in, has a Chromecast, but I feel like I could do a lot better for a monitor, especially when this is capped at 60hz. Anyone know any good 120 - 165 hz displays?
Also, can someone please explain to me this debate over which panel in the best? From what I can gather, most of the affordable monitors I see are "VA" panel which I guess is crap for response time but good colors. Meanwhile TN is the opposite, good response time, bad colors, more expensive. It it worth the extra cash for something with a tn panel as opposed to va?
Tn are usually the cheapest
Tn are cheap and fast but don't look as good. Va are like jack of all trades master of none. Great contrast, good colors, not super fast, great for casual experience. Ips are the best in most areas and can also now hit the same fast speeds but cost more.
so, i found this on amazon. Still new to this, so I have no idea if it is any good.

whats the best 1440p 240hz monitor
depends on your definition of best
imo, this one's one of the best
does it support hdr
displayhdr 600
good thing its 11% off!
thanks kizo 🥰
Although ill have to disagree on that. 300 hz is almost here or is?
not even 4k imagine!
my 3095 can run any game on any res.
😬
Is there a way to use my mobo outputs with my GPU?
I just upgraded to a 3060Ti and it only has one HDMI port.
However, I have two monitors that don't have DP.
I have a B250 PC MATE in case that makes a difference, and an i7-7700.
Looking for a second monitor for my son that’s not crazy $$ it will be used for chat logs and stuff like that
what kind of specs are you looking for? @timber lynx
24in full hd is fine unless I can find a 2k for a good price .. it won’t be the main display gaming monitor
ok, what kinda price ya looking for
And if it can do portrait that’s a plus too
Idk no more then $250 maybe
Would like to spend less though
this is about the highest quality for the price, and VESA mountable
you do portrait on software so all you have to do is turn it somehow
I wouldn't get a 1440p for my second imo
I'm using a 27" fhd cause it's literally a secondary
Anyone know any good monitors for under 200$
is 1080p 120 hz better or 1440p 60 hz
What does vrr do and what does free sync do in monitors?
for FPS gaming 120 or 144hz best
very complicated, but basically game feel smother at low framerates
and game screen tears less
i have a 165hz monitor but the laptop its connected to can only support up to 120 hz
ok then 120hz is fine
Thoughts on this monitor? I’m building a new comp for gaming and I’m curious if it’s worth going 4K and calling at 60hz or go 1440 a higher refresh
1440p higher refresh
Any monitor could do that for less money prolly
or what is another really good 1080p 144hz monitor (pairing it with a 5700xt and 3700x
you can get a GREAT 1440p170hz panel for that much
Lol I’m looking in the wrong places then 😂
hey guys
quick question, is the back of a monitor fine if its getting direct sunlighy
basically my table is against my window and so the sun will be hitting the back of my monitor
i was wondering if this causes any damage or whatever
@maiden wedge I would say its fine, the colors might fade after a while but other than that I couldn't think of anything else that could happen unless you live inside the sun
Can you guys recommend monitor that is 240-280 hz below 350 budget?
Is 1440p better than 1080p for fps gaming?
Well most people can't see above 60fps so if your card can push 60fps1440p then go with that @orchid pagoda
Well most people can't see above 60fps so if your card can push 60fps1440p then go with that @orchid pagoda
@patent lagoon wait wdym with most people can see above 60fpa

Is ips better than TN panel for fps gaming?
yes, tn has really bad colors
the refresh rate might be great but its hard to see some enemies in some games at bad colors
I only play CS go and Valorant
IPS still
How about the input lag or delay on ips?
I am looking at this monitor not sure if this is good

Thats a big yes @dry trout
nice
Very high refresh rate
Anyone know a good mount set up for supporting 3 of these? https://www.newegg.com/p/0JC-0004-00K53?Description=dell s3220dgf&cm_re=dell_s3220dgf-_-0JC-0004-00K53-_-Product

@maiden wedge 32" too big?
Price?
Anyone have a good cheap second monitor?
my main one is he Asus tuf gaming vg27aq
what's your budget, and any specs needed ?
i would like it to be display port, dont really care about the refresh rate. I would like it to be 1440p but thats not the top priority. price is about 2-300
dollars
so basically you want a cheap and good 1440p monitor right ?
and basically all monitors support DP
ye
size preference ?
22 - 27 inches
alright
I would like it to be vesa mountable

Up to 75Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync™ t...
you could go cheaper if you went with VA
but I purposedly chose ips
That is great. Thank you
glad it helped
I'm sort of in the same boat... looking for a 1440p secondary monitor, but would prefer 27"... trying to keep it $250 and under. No preference on ips or VA
Try Gigabyte G27qc, it drops below the usual like 280$ msrp a fair bit
welp, price went back up, never mind
Acer V277U
Acer VG270U
LG 27QN600-B
some Lenovo monitors are good too @slow needle
nice, I'll check those out.. thank you! Don't need anything too fancy, it would just be used for web browsing, twitch, productivity etc
The V277U would be perfect, if it came back in stock at that 190 price point. If not, then I might snag the LG 27Q
sounds good 👌🏼
Do the LG
LG has much more expirience than Acer
They were making monitors back in the CRT days so that's how you know they are solid
I don't really trust Acer
Lenovo's pretty solid
But LG, Viewsonic, and Gigabyte are probably the most reliable
I m getting Asus swift rog P248 24inch in $300, is it good deal?
Should i buy Asus Rog P248, 24inch. Or you guys can suggest me of $300 budget
yay viewsonic
does anyone have a rtx 2080 ti i will be paying 1,000 if anyone can sell me there's and this is for a vid
so
yes
@quartz cave check ebay/FB marketplace/OfferUp/maybe reddit
r/hardwareswap in terms of reddit
Probably stray away from Asus and Acer
is the AOC 24G2E a good 144hz ips monitor?
AOC is a good brand I can tell you that much
ok thanks:)
How much are you paying for it?
What are the specs of your PC?
Im making my first build, Im still finding parts. Im waiting for the 3050ti and pair it with a r5 3500x
You mean 3600x
no
hold on lemme send a link
AMD's Ryzen 5 3500X CPU is a China-only launch, but can be purchased via online retailers at around the price of an R5 2600. It's half the threads of the 3600, though.
Sponsor: Gigabyte X299X Designare 10G (Amazon https://geni.us/EevIHs)
In this review, we're primarily comparing the AMD R5 3500X, a 6-core, 6-thread part, to the AMD R5 3600, its...
its available here in the Philippin es
Ah ok
I would get the 3600 for sure
Hyperthreading will benefit
Not too much in gaming but definetly in multitasking
I'll take that in consideration, thanks
And that's not a bad monitor then for a 3050ti
when it comes out
or did you mean the 3060ti?
the 3050ti, comes out on January from what I heard
yeah no, too much for my budget
with 120Hz
Ah ok
Makes sense
Then yeah that AOC is good
Look into some ViewSonic and or LG options
they are the top 2 in my opinion
and AOC is right behind
LG mainly
How much is the AOC/what's your budget?
So I can check other monitors
around $200
well, I just converted the price
I have this same exact monitor but at 75Hz and at 2ms response time so yeah
I can tell you it's solid
np
This boi fresh too
Actually scratch ALL of those
This one is the best:
If you are ok with 27 inch
It's only 209.99 US
So that's a fantastic deal for what you get
This is their Gaming XG line
So it's better than their base gaming line
this, this is nice
Yes I know
I love Viewsonic
They bring value and performance to the table
Smashes all the other manufacturers
and the reviews speak for themselves
And if you want 24 inch this is slightly more expensive
But it's esentially the same monitor
Personally I would go 27 inch especially since it's the 2020 model
This 24 inch is more expensive and it's the 2019 model
So yeah
27 inch is better
OOHHHH
Actually the 24 inch is slightly better
The 24 inch has a LED display which gives you a crispier image
