this

gleaming drum
#

also 1440p is like 77% higher resolution for reference

urban epoch
#

I am going to keep the monitor for a long time it might even see 4000 series

trail sparrow
#

but if ur planning to get a better card down the line why not

#

i use 1080p tbh

urban epoch
#

I also use 1080p PLS panel some old generic samsung I think its S24D3 something wich I got tired from even Vsync doesnt help nomore also how bad is it to for example use 1440p but downscale it to roughtly 1080p levels?

trail sparrow
#

yeah

urban epoch
#

what about something like Asus TUF Gaming VG259Q vs the m27q? 1080p vs 1440p for gtx 1070 wich might be upgraded to 2070 or 3060 in a year or 2

trail sparrow
#

im gonna be honest

#

i dont know much abt displays

#

i just pop in here every now and again when no one else is helping

urban epoch
#

I mean I aint the hardcore gamer aswell I have 60hz monitor and I upscale every game anyways right now, just to make it run around 70 fps withouth vsync. I cant really tell if 120 fps is actually worth it for my eyes, or if just making the game look better is more worth it

B_Ræd15#0674 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

gleaming drum
#

How was that duplicated text lol

#

long message short, how good are the 1440p 144Hz panels from viotek, westinghouse, and Pixio? does anyone have them? are they any good?

#

Not looking to spend more than $300 so those look like they could be good deals but should I just go with ACER's or even wait for the Viewsonic IPS to be back in stock

visual pilot
#

M27q at 320$

gleaming drum
#

I think that was out of stock too when I checked

#

I'll check again

#

thats the gigabyte one right?

visual pilot
#

it hasn't been out of stock for me for a while

#

yea

gleaming drum
#

oh I was looking at the other ones I think I didn't notice the $40 off promo

#

thats definitely worth it thanks

#

A KVM will be sweet too do many other monitors have that?

visual pilot
#

kvm switch? usually not afaik

gleaming drum
#

oh lol shouldve scrolled down to the marketing stuff they have, answered my question

#

WORLD’S FIRST KVM GAMING MONITOR

novel edge
#

Has anyone dealt with an Asus monitor rebate before? Had to return my defective monitor to Newegg within a week, and just got my replacement. The problem was that when I bought the thing it had a $40 Asus rebate that had to be redeemed within 30 days of purchase (which just passed). Am I SOL?

unique flax
#

Sounds like it, if it passed

unique flax
#

I decided on the 27GL850. It had a $50 discount which was hard to pass up since I'd been eyeing it as my first monitor

sleek trench
#

anybody know about a good hdmi switch
my monitor only has 1 hdmi in and im looking for something that supports 1440p at 75Hz

coral path
#

anyone can recommend a display port 1.4 vesa certified?

tame swallow
#

where at @unique flax did you get that monitor on discount if i may ask?

errant meadow
#

So i'm looking for a 27 inch curved monitor with 144hz or higher but under $350. Any suggestions?

errant meadow
#

preferably

#

i mean i have a ASUS MG248QR which is a tn panel. Just looking to get a better one than that picture-color wise.

visual pilot
#

Gigabyte M27q for 320$ on Newegg

#

Is a great monitor

#

G27qc for ~270$ then

errant meadow
#

I was actually looking at the G27qc, saw something about it having trouble with inverse ghosting?

#

yeah, i'm sure if i'm not breaking the bank there's gonna be something

errant meadow
#

yeah, this asus one is the only one ive ever had

dusky nebula
#

honestly imo tn panel is fine

#

unless u absolutely need the color

errant meadow
#

@dusky nebula I mean...but how big is the difference?

dusky nebula
#

its just color and angles

#

unless u view your monitor from the side a lot

#

if you view ur monitor from the side ips will hold up fine

#

not tn tho

#

i would stay tn

#

would save money aswell

#

only BIG difference is color

errant meadow
#

would va be a good medium?

rough flame
#

Hardware unboxed made a great video explaining the differences between TN IPS and VA displays, i recommend watching that if you're in the market of getting a new monitor

river edge
#

I have a VA 1440p 144hz monitor. Honestly, I'm happy with it

rough flame
#

Yeah in general for the average gamer a VA panel type is best because of it's good color and good refreshrate. When it comes to competitive gaming like esports titles, then a TN panel is what would work best.

#

VA is a good all around panel type

#

I gotta get on that 1440p set up soon

unique flax
river edge
#

Mine doesn't

dry temple
#

Is the msi optix 27" ips 144 hz an ok panel?

#

Might get it from costco

river edge
#

The MG27 or whatever?

dry temple
#

Gimme a sec

#

G271 but I found it for $200 from costco

river edge
#

Ye, for $200, seems good

dry temple
#

Ite thx

rough flame
#

yeah thats a p good deal for that monitor

dry temple
#

Just wanted to make sure cuz I was gonna go to costco in person to check it out

#

Recently upgraded from said specs in my name to a 10100 and Im gonna upgrade from my rx 560 and sell it

unique flax
# river edge Mine doesn't

Which one are you using? I'm debating getting a second monitor down the line for watching movies and such, so I'm leaning towards VA for deep blacks. Just hesitant because of the smearing

urban epoch
#

Should I get the LG 32GK650F-b ( 295 eur) or the gigabyte M27Q (350 eur) ?

rocky sphinx
#

anyone heard of a monitor flickering like crazy when I crank up the hz past 60hz only in windows desktop, browser etc but not in games

#

oh also it only happens when I'm overclocking the gpu, even by 1 digit, like from 1070 to 1071

rocky sphinx
#

hmm, yeah, as soon as I set it back to defaults on Afterburner it works fine at 144hz

rocky sphinx
#

sucky

#

so was the monitor bad?

#

I really don't feel like sending mine back

#

come to think of it, I had the same problem when I hooked up an old crappy monitor as a 2nd monitor a few months ago. it would flicker the same way on the 2nd monitor only when I had the overclock on

#

so I feel like the problem is with my card or amd drivers or something

#

but who knows, it's weird for it to only happen in windows while it seems fine in games

#

so maybe it's a windows thing

knotty lotus
#

is the MSI Optix G32C4 a decent montor for 210$

spring sequoia

tame swallow
#

Is g-sync worth it for gaming? Should I go for a g-sync monitor or get a m27q

river edge
#

Freesync or Gsync is fine

#

nVidia works with Freesync

tame swallow
#

I have a gigabyte card. Does that count as a nvidia card?

#

Same thing? Different brand?

river edge
#

Gigabyte is probably nVidia, yes

#

Is it a GTX or RTX?

tame swallow
#

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 Ti DirectX

river edge
#

Ye

#

Freesync or Gsync is fine

tame swallow

what is the best option for 2k res monitor on market rn money can buy?

smoky thicket
#

@mossy kindle for what use case? gaming, work, color accuracy?

#

and what size

#

24" 27" 32"

mossy kindle
smoky thicket
#

@mossy kindle do you have a specific price range

mossy kindle
#

not actually

smoky thicket
#

freesync or gsync prefered?

mossy kindle
#

doesnt matter now all comptatible @smoky thicket

smoky thicket
#

curved or flat?

dark ingot
#

When using the display ports on my GPU (power color red dragon rx 5600xt) the screen has a red tint to it? This happened on one port, now it’s on 2 how do I fix this?

gleaming drum
#

Also just realized that 1440p is 16/9 the pixel count of 1080p and my mind is blown

mild vortex
prisma igloo
#

Looking for the best 240 hz monitor and want to see if anyone has personal recommendations. Been looking for a reasonably priced one for months

buoyant prism
#

I own an aw2521hf and I am quite pleased with it, but this is the only 240 hz monitor I have had so take my opinion as you want

cosmic wasp
#

Are most amd free sync monitora also able to do G-sync?

buoyant prism
#

At least for the aw2521hf, activating the freesync allows me to activate gsync in nvidia control panel.

brave spindle
#

Does anyone know if newegg price match if the seller is third party?

cosmic wasp
#

Is there a way to tell if G-sync works on a free sync monitor?

sage trail
#

it most likely will

#

usually a monitor will be branded as g-sync compatible, but most freesync monitors arent

#

regardless, i am yet to come across a freesync monitor that fails to run gsync

haughty shard
cosmic wasp
#

@buoyant prism how do you activate free sync when you have an Nvidia card?

river edge
#

Which card?

#

10 series or 2000 series?

#

Either way, just open up nVidia Control panel and set up G-Sync

buoyant prism
#

@cosmic wasp I have to activate freesync through the monitor osd. Then I can activate gsync through control panel

cosmic wasp
#

It's a 1660 super

novel merlin
#

@cosmic wasp BTW Gsync doesn't work throught hdmi unless you have a gsync ultimate monitor.

cosmic wasp
#

@novel merlin that's it! It's currently hdmi, I'll get it switched. Thank you!

novel merlin
#

You are welcome. Use display port!

#

You can also buy gsync monitors that are monitor side freesync. My VG248 allows freesync on playstation even because it won't display partial frames.

urban epoch
#

LG 32GK650F-B or M27Q?

maiden wedge
#

i'd get M27Q

urban epoch
#

32" too big?

rotund thorn
#

Still trying to buy a monitor.... I have 2 1080ti's but I mine crypto 24/7...
I mainly trade crypto and code, but I do play games, all while mining.... what screen would work best 1-27" Samsung or Dell curved 4k
Or 2 dell 4k screens...
Or is it not good to do 4k while mining and playing games so htz would be more benificial.... any info is appreciated

visual pilot
#

@rotund thorn for gaming, 1440p is the sweek spot (sometimes also called 2k resolution)

rotund thorn
#

@visual pilot for more coding and trading
I'm considering Samsung CRG5 C27RG50
Samsung u228E590D 28" 4k
Samsung ur59C series U32R590C
Or side by side dell p241H 23.8 inch

I hear smaller screens are better for gaming and 2 screens would be good for coding but also 1 really nice screen would be ideal

visual pilot
#

I'd prob go with a single UW 1440p panel

#

lemme find smth

#

lemme find an UW panel tho

rotund thorn
#

Over a Samsung c27HG70, is the one im listing not able to connect other monitors? And I use 2 1080tis

visual pilot
#

Hm?

#

M27q has better color than the c27HG70, IPS panel over VA panel

#

and connecting other monitors, not sure what you meant by that

#

@rotund thorn either way, I don't recommend 4k for gaming because it's hard to run, your 1080ti will struggle, and 4k 120/144hz panels are expensive as heck

rotund thorn
#

Adding another monitor so I can have some code on one screen and move it over to another screen in the future

visual pilot
#

I know you mainly want to code/work, but higher refresh rate is nice to have either way

#

@rotund thorn that bit doesn't have to do with the panel itself, any panel should be able to do that (Be able to drag things from one screen onto another, it's more software than needing hardware support)

rotund thorn
#

So mainly ips thats not 4k with 120+hz is what I'm looking for correct?
I'll probably go with your opinions but 27-32 inches is what I was thinking

visual pilot
#

Resolutions are usually 1080p, 1440p (2k), or 2160p (4k)
1080p pixel density at 27in or larger looks very bad, so that leaves us with 1440p and 4k as the main options to look at for a large panel

#

The 4 main resolution&size bits to think about for you I think would be
2 x 24 inch 1080p/1440p/2160p
1 x 27 inch 1440p/2160p
1 x 32 inch 2160p
1x 34 inch Ultrawide 1440p

#

All my opinion of course, the end decision is yours to make

rotund thorn
#

Is gigabyte or some other company better then Phillips, Dell or Samsung?
I see its ms is .5 which seems to be way faster then Phillips or another others I were considering

visual pilot
#

I'd rather look at the product itself over judging it by the brand

rotund thorn
#

And I see gigabyte is freesync, is there a company thats as good as that thats g-sync since I have nvidia

visual pilot
#

Basically all freesync panels have G-sync compatibility

#

Lemme think who here has a M27q

rotund thorn
#

Your the sheet thanks, I guess ill go with the gigabyte m27q..... and in the future ill be able to daisy chain them together when I snag another without issues correct? Or would that be tougher in my gpus

visual pilot
#

Hardware unboxed's review says it'll do g sync fine anyways
https://youtu.be/uNIqwxAZ-MQ?t=205

#

Hm, daisy chaining monitors is interesting

#

@rotund thorn Can you just use the different ports on the back of the GPU? I mean, per 1080ti it'll have like 3 DP and a HDMI port

rotund thorn
#

I thought you could buy a box and link them monitor to monitor then 1 dvi to the motherboard
Do they not make a good cheap curved monitor thats IPS? Is see a lot more people bought a VA G27QC then they did a M27Q

visual pilot
#

I don't think so, M27q is also quite a bit better than g27qc in terms of all the performance

rotund thorn
#

Ill most likely go with the m27q then

So you typically have to plug the dvi cords into the gpus to get them all connected? How are people getting 3 screens connected just have a 3 gpu rig?

visual pilot
#

@rotund thorn you see all the ports on the back of the GPU? Each can be connected to a panel

#

And even after that, you could go for like DP hubs for even more panels

rotund thorn
#

Ah just the hdmi ports? I built my own desktop but still learning, thanks for the imput ill probably snag that

visual pilot
#

Displayport and HDMI

#

Displayport carries more bandwidth than HDMI in general too

rotund thorn
#

Ah gotcha

#

Thank you I appreciate it

visual pilot
#

:)

rotund thorn
#

And lastly I know its not display question... but if I'm downloading games on steam, should I be looking for an external something to store my games on so I don't bog down my desktop

visual pilot
#

Doesn't matter what kind of question, but what kind of storage do you currently have?

#

as in, say you have a 512gb ssd and a 2tb hard drive, or like just a single 1tb ssd installed

rotund thorn
#

I have 1TB ssd if thats what I needed

flat beacon
#

How do I fix the vga error light on my motherboard

#

Why is that on

river edge
#

not detecting graphics card

#

Power plugged in?

rotund thorn
#

I dont know about the hard drive if it wasn't needed in an original build I probably didn't buy one

visual pilot
#

@rotund thorn general rule of thumb is don't go over 80% usage on a SSD unless you want it slowing down

flat beacon
river edge
#

Fully seated in the slot?

visual pilot
#

So you could fill it up to like 800gb of stuff without much worry

rotund thorn
#

I can't check the specs currently not home.... but I believe itd 1TB and I should look up a 2tb external hard drive and move my games to that?

flat beacon
river edge
#

Yes. Either it's not installed correctly or the power is incorrect

flat beacon
#

I recently installed a new motherboard like last week so maybe that’s the issue

river edge
#

Possibly but it's one of the two

flat beacon
#

I removed and replaced the card and everything seems to be working fine again

river edge
#

👍

#

Good to go!

flat beacon
#

5 star service

river edge
#

❤️

visual pilot
#

@rotund thorn Well, if you need a lot more storage, sure, but if you're only gonna use say 600gb of the SSD, no reason to buy another drive. And also, you could get a internal 3.5in drive as long as you have a bay in your case and another sata power connector.

Hey geniuses - my main monitor is a 27" ips 1440 165hz I got for around 400.

If I didn't want to reuse and old monitor for my second monitor and wanted to get a new one (mainly for discord/youtube/communication while I fill my main screen, probably run it vertical style), Any recommendations?

Only reason I'm not getting same again is it doesn't swivel portrait

visual pilot
#

just find a swivel 1080p panel on wegg or amazon

blazing ingot
#

you dont get messed up by 2 different resolutions?

river edge
#

No

#

I run a main 1440p screen and a second 1080p screen all day err day

sage trail
#

its messed up, but easy to deal with

river edge
#

165hz on one, 60 on the other

sage trail
#

obviously your best option would be another 27" 1440p panel at 60hz

river edge
#

Yeah

#

I just line up the top in the display configuration since that's where you click and drag anyway

sage trail
#

its also 220 tho, which might be a bit much for just a secondary monitor

#

my secondary is a 16:10 monitor i got from goodwill for 20 dollars, i would suggest you do something similar

wary barn
#

Wait but when i run a monitor with two different hz's both go down to the lowest one

sage trail
#

might wanna take a look at that

#

im running a 240 and a 60 side by side

river edge
#

some GPU's did that

#

RX series I think?

#

AMD stuff?

wary barn
#

I have an msi 1660 ti it might be because of what the second monitor is, it's a little portable laptop monitor that I'm connecting through my mobo and that's probably doing the weird cap

river edge
#

Ahhhh

worthy oak
#

@river edge no amd gpus do that atleast that I’ve used

#

500 and 5000 series

#

144+60 worked fine on my 5700xt and 590/580s

river edge
#

There were GPU's that did that but I can't remember which ones

#

They were old though

worthy oak
#

Probably an older generation, never heard of RX doing them atleast

#

Yeah

#

Lmao had the same thought

wary barn
#

It's probably just the usb c monitor on the mobo causing the cap then

river edge
#

Ye

wary barn
#

I haven't used it since I saw it was keeping me at 60 so eventually a second monitor will be bought

Any monitor recommendations that support HDMI 2.1, 4k and at least 144hz? Looking for something that would also pair with the Series X. Looks like it might be a case of waiting to see what drops in Q1.

So I have 3 27in 77hz monitors and I didn’t account for my desk space and when I set up all three monitors it just felt to overwhelming should I give one of my monitors to my little brother because he’s getting a ps4 soon

spring sequoia
#

@real saffron umm... yes i guess. The used monitor market is slow so i guess go for it. As long as it has HDMI it will work and even not adapters are cheap

fading wyvern
#

@brave spindle you’re just gunna have to settle for a LG oled lol “LG OLED48CXPUB” 2.1 hdmi and 120hz 48”.

dusky nebula
#

should get his

#

this

#

only thing making me not want to buy is it being 21 inches

tame swallow
#

It’s a TN panel... so I would say no @dusky nebula

sullen dock
#

that looks like a solid monitor

#

which is better for the price, that one(above), or the m27q?

covert solstice
#

i think that monitor is just kinda meh id get the m27

sullen dock
#

yeah im reading reviews on it rn and ppl say its just ok

covert solstice
sullen dock
#

does the m27q come with a display port or would i have to buy one separate?

covert solstice
sullen dock
#

yeah i meant the cable, and it looks like it does, thanks!

whcih monitor is better viewsonic xg2405 or the 2401 vs tuf gaming vg24vq

spring sequoia
#

I am personally a Viewsonic fan

gilded notch
#

and of those 2 which one will you choose

maiden wedge
#

Would the BenQ Mobiuz 24.5 inch monitor be good for the ps5?

#

Or the 27 inch one .

desert mauve
#

Is there any decent mid range 144hz displays available?

shadow flare
#

any recommendations on a 27” 1440p monitor?

cinder prism
#

Could use a recommendation too for that

visual pilot
#

@shadow flare @cinder prism Gigabyte M27q

#

nooo best buy is out of stock for 330$ so it's back to 360$ on wegg

#

still good monitor tho

cinder prism
#

Gonna be a minute before I buy it but I have the 1080p version of that monitor. So I at least know it’s good lol

astral trellis
#

just realised i still have stuff to spend even after buying my new pc, so im thinking about a monitor

#

prolly a 1440 75-144hz

#

coming from a 1080p 60hz

#

also, its gonna be in a 3070/3600 system

#

so if theres something else i should go for lemme know

sage trail
#

1440p@144hz is pog, should be around 250-300

#

get something 27" and under, theres this cheapish one floating around thats 32"

#

avoid that

#

unless you sit really far from your monitor

visual pilot
#

I think it's Cad pricing for them

astral trellis
#

ayy he remembered

#

yis it is

sage trail
#

oof, thats right

astral trellis
#

also, was gonna get a 24" cause i was gonna use my current one as a secondary

#

and 2 diff sized monitors would be wonky

sage trail
#

yeah

#

but i dont think they make 1440p144 in 24"

astral trellis
#

hmm

sage trail
#

unless you can find one of these

#

its an older monitor, so its a TN panel

astral trellis
#

the only ones i can find searching that name are 1080's

sage trail
#

another thing to consider is HDR. I know a lot of people are saying not to consider HDR unless its HDR1000, but even HDR400 makes a difference, and looks really good

astral trellis
#

ngl, im pretty ok with a 75hz 1440, just cause the 144hz are looking expensive

sage trail
#

yeah, they cost quite a bit

astral trellis
#

would monitors be the kind of thing i could buy used without too many issues?

sage trail
#

im sticking with my monitor until high refresh rate oleds are common

sage trail
#

plug in monitor, monitor work

#

when you buy used, either its damaged or its not, but sometimes they have issues that appear inconsistently

#

well, any monitor will

#

like mine has intermittent backlight flickering every other day for a few mins

#

getting a replacement through lenovo soon

#

so theres always a risk of something like that

astral trellis
#

woah

#

this is the next best thing on kijiji

#
#

well, theres also this but it mentiones some artifacting at the bottom

#
#

this would probably be my non-used option

rustic basin
#

so many links

astral trellis
#

the kijiji ones are just stupidly big

versed bridge
feral igloo
#

is it just a second monitor?

sage trail
#

100 bucks for 1080p60???

#

bruh go to craigslist

feral igloo
#

for new its fine

sage trail
#

i paid 20 for mine at goodwill

feral igloo
#

lmao

astral trellis
#

same

feral igloo
#

used is much cheaper, but for new its fine

sage trail
#

144hz is only like, 30 more at that point

astral trellis
#

except i paid $42 for 720p

versed bridge
#

I've already looked around for used. Basically anywhere in the area only has 720p or 4:3

sage trail
#

tons of em

#

all over the place

#

everytime i look

versed bridge
#

We have a decent number of people and a couple very large organizations that moved entirely to remote work

#

One of the biggest subsidized monitor purchases

sage trail
#

facebook and craigslist are the two big ones, im sure you can find something

#

because 100 for a bog standard monitor is nuts

versed bridge
#

It's cheaper than 130, that's the big thing

sage trail
#

its all packaging, shipping and material costs, the bare minimum for a new monitor lmao

#

its not even ips brocry

versed bridge
#

How bad is the image on VA compared to IPS?

#

I had thought that VA had a better contrast but sightly worse accuracy and coverage

covert solstice
#

it does

river edge
#

I have an IPS and VA side by side

covert solstice
#

depends a lot of the monitor, a ips with really bad colors will probably look noticeably worse than a solid va

river edge
#

Honestly, the IPS has better color accuracy

#

But not by much.

#

I game on the VA

versed bridge
#

So considering I don't really care about refresh rate or latency and I don't do any photo editing or such like, would there really be that much of a difference for me?

river edge
#

No

#

VA is just fine for everyday use

#

Better than TN

versed bridge
#

Okay. Honestly, if I were to spend more on a monitor I would rather get a higher resolution than slightly better image quality

sage trail
#

yeah, nowadays VA and IPS are kinda really similar, but my current ips really does look better than my last VA

#

but its also HDR400, which adds a little something else into the mix

versed bridge
#

HDR would tend to help, wouldn't it

#

fwiw, I checked craigs list again

river edge
#

Have you tried GOodwill?

#

Often times super cheap stuff there that's good

versed bridge
#

Best I could find from craigs was a 22" TN for $110 and about a one hour drive

astral trellis
#

is this the cheap 32" that ya'll told me to stay away from?

versed bridge
#

Last time I was at goodwill they had the options of small square and big square

sage trail
#

yeah, but only because it was 32"

#

its totally fine if you're into that sort of thing

#

kinda defeats the purpose of 1440p tho

versed bridge
#

How's that?

sage trail
#

just get 24" 1080 and sit closer smh

versed bridge
#

1080p at 32" would be kinda pixely, wouldn't it?

sage trail
#

but 1440p at 32" is only an improvement over 1080p at 24" in that it offers more screen real estate for windowed applications

#

for gaming, you sit too close and have to move your head all around too much, you back away and it looks the same as a 1080p at 24"

#

so that westinghouse is good if you do a ton of office related tasks and gaming

versed bridge
#

sounds like someone I know 🤣

sage trail
#

top is 2560x1440 at 32
bottom is 1920x1080 at 24

#

literally the same

#

you gain more pixels in your game, but the pixels are just as big and blocky

#

i want a 1440p at 24

#

at a little over 2 feet away, your eyes can no longer distinguish pixels. why we dont have 1440p 24" gaming monitors is beyond me

#

so like, a normal desk width

hot zephyr
#

What's a decent 22-24in 1080p display I could recommend to a friend? They didn't give any other criteria, but I presume their budget is pretty limited. I don't want to make an uninformed recommendation..

wanton musk
#

hey my 2nd monitor isnt detecting. its plugged in with hdmi and its powered on.

night snow
#

@wanton musk Make sure that you have multiple displays enabled. If that isn't the issue, try turning off and on again / unplugging + plugging in again / try a different HDMI cable. If that doesn't fix it, I don't know what else you could try. Good luck!

hot zephyr
#

Have you checked the windows projection menu (Win+P) to make sure it's set to Extend? Sometimes Windows doesn't select that automatically.
Also, which monitor are you using?
What's the cable connected to in your PC?

wanton musk
#

i tried switching hdmi, restarting pc, unplugging and plugging.

#

md is enabled

#

@hot zephyr

hot zephyr
#

Hmm.. does your GPU support VGA?

wanton musk
#

yes

hot zephyr
#

Also, does the monitor do anything when you plug in the HDMI cable?

#

Might be worth trying VGA to see if that works.

night snow
#

Hey I have that same monitor in the 22" size!

wanton musk
#

ok

#

nvm i fixed it

hot zephyr

covert solstice
#

hi

#

might wanna read the rules

wintry loom
#

guys

#

I have been having a problem with my monitor

#

I don't really know if it's a problem, lack of configuration or just how it works

#

But I have been noticing some anti ghosting problems on some colors like black and white

#

Especially the very light/darks one

#

Like, when I have a window open and I move it around, I can clearly see a white trail between the black title of the window and the white background (forgive for I haven't bought windows and can't use dark mode)

#

Is that a driver thing or just my monitor? And is there a fix?

#

By the way my monitor is a Samsung 75Hz 1920x1080 24 inch monitor if it matters.

rustic basin
#

try turning on "response time" in ur monitor settings

#

@wintry loom

wintry loom
#

I already set it to "Fastest"

rustic basin
#

hm

wintry loom
#

It has 3 options, "Standard", "Fast" and "Fastest"

#

It is currently on Fastest

rustic basin
#

try all the settings

#

u might have made it too high

wintry loom
#

The monitor is advertised as 1ms response time, lowering the response time would increase that to up to around 8ms right

rustic basin
#

ghosting is caused by slow response times

wintry loom
#

huh

#

well

#

it worked

#

I switched it from Fastest to Faster

#

and that completely removed the problem

#

How so?

#

Shouldnt it be the opposite?

#

Fastest = Lower response time = No ghosting

rustic basin
#

i think you had what's called "inverse ghosting"

wintry loom
#

There is no more weird white trail

#

when I move black text in contrast with a white color

#

aka file explorer window

rustic basin
#

you turned ur response time too high

wintry loom
#

Huh

#

So, what would be the response time on the "Faster" option if "Fastest" is 1ms?

#

Would it be like 2-4ms?

rustic basin
#

something like that ig

proud yoke
#

Anybody have any good 1440p gaming monitor recommendations?

sage trail
wintry loom
sage trail
#

pick one of the three settings that looks best to you

wintry loom
sage trail
#

the response time is nothing but advertising

wintry loom
#

wdym

river edge
#

They all use different methods to obtain the lowest number to make it seem like theirs is best

#

Response time is just...... oof. Refresh rate and panel type are more important

#

Same for COntrast ratio

#

etc

wintry loom
#

Huh

#

So, why do most people advise others to set it to Standard instead of Faster

#

I know Fastest doesn't work, but what abt faster?

rustic basin
#

Try

#

Use each for a couple hours and see which is best

river edge
#

Faster is typically an "overclock" of the monitor. They don't always work at the "faster" setting

sage trail
wintry loom
river edge
#

Mine, for example, is rated at 144hz but has a factory "overclock" optin to 165hz

#

if it starts giving me issues, i'll back it down to 144hz

#

They're not all the same but that's just an example

fossil gust
#

For my monitor the middle of the 3 response time options has the least ghosting. Still ghosts a lot anyways in high contrast areas lol

#

I think its cause its a VA panel, not sure though

#

not very noticeable in games, usually its like when you have a white cursor on a dark page

sage trail
#

the longest a pixel can take to change color is going from black to white or white to black

#

no light vs all light

somber temple
#

Looking for a 4k display that is good balance between competitive fps gameplay and single player campaign gaming. Any recommendations?

#

Been looking at the lg27gn950

#

It’s one monitor or go craxy and buy two for different games xD

river edge
#

Honestly, if you want high FPS for competitive gaming, go 1440p

sage trail
#

1440p@240hz would be better, considering you are looking to drop 800 on a monitor

somber temple
#

I’ve been looking at that but. I watch movies, tv shows and browsing on the 4k display. While i enjoy high fps competitive gaming with 1080p 240hz. Definitely got enough for one monitor, the second is for another day.

#

I may be weird

#

But it makes me feel comfortable 😅

sage trail
#

get a 240hz monitor
put a 4k tv somewhere else

#

if you're already using 240hz, you dont really wanna go back to 144

somber temple
#

but image quality is meh

sage trail
#

if your already using 144hz, thats fine. not many people benefit from 240 anyway

#

plus, there are more important features than resolution when it comes to monitors

somber temple
sage trail
#

4k is nice, but i would take a fully featured 1440p panel over a low end 4k panel any day

#

yeah, older TN panels look like crap

somber temple
#

Heard TN has better refresh/response and IPS has better image quality?

sage trail
#

pretty much

somber temple
#

mhmm

#

been looking at asus, LG and samsung models

#

and the choices are a lot xD

sage trail
#

yeah, brand isnt too much of a factor

#

its all dependent on what you are looking for your monitor to do

#

and what gpu you have

#

you can spend 700+ on a monitor that does everything, or spend considerably less on a normal monitor

#

imo, the cheap option here is 1440p 144hz for like 300

somber temple
#

WELL my gpu if i recieve it is a 3090😋

sage trail
#

cpu?

somber temple
#

5900x

sage trail
#

yeah you can pretty much get whatever monitor you want

somber temple
#

PG259QN and 27GN950 were like the best of both worlds for me and im drooling. But after what my gf did to get the 3090 i can't splurge all on myself.

sage trail
#

do you play FPS games with an extremely high sensitivity?

somber temple
#

my sens are low

sage trail
#

then forget 360hz

#

wouldnt be worth even 200 dollars

somber temple
#

BenQ XL2546K this was alternative

#

i always trusted my benq monitors

#

served me so well

sage trail
#

i think this would be worth it

somber temple
#

i'll defintely have a look into it

#

if only there were displays at the comp store 😫

maiden wedge
#

anyone know a good 32" 16:9 4k monitor? low latency...60hz is enough

hot zephyr
#

What's a decent 24in (1080p@60fps is okay) display I could recommend?
They didn't give any other criteria, but I presume their budget is pretty limited.
I don't want to make an uninformed recommendation, and I'm not very familiar with monitor buying.

hot zephyr
#

ooh nice

#

I don't know much about FreeSync/G-Sync. I assume FreeSync is AMD-only?

#

They have a nvidia GPU. I don't think they need G-Sync tho.

river edge
#

Freesync does both, yeah

hot zephyr
#

What's the benefit of G-sync vs just enabling Vsync in the graphics settings?

#

Does vsync not do that?

#

huh

#

I've never used gsync, maybe I've been missing out haha

#

ah

#

I'm only on 75Hz

#

I only buy used monitors bc I'm a student, I've got some pretty good deals on my own purchases.

#

The VG245 I'm using rn was 60€

#

I think it is 👀

#

noiiice

#

I'll send them the link ye, they're in class rn so after that

#

yes

#

Also yes.

#

lolrip

#

huh

river edge
#

Don't you need an HDMI 2.0 cable for that?

hot zephyr
#

I've never used DP

river edge
#

I don't think it works with HDMI 1 or 1.1

hot zephyr
#

I think (?)

#

lemme chekc

river edge
#

Over HDMI 1?

#

Or 1.2?

hot zephyr
#

I don't think it has a DP port

river edge
#

I think it needs to be 1.2 or higher

hot zephyr
#

There's two HDMI ins, and one VGA

river edge
#

Oh yeah, I can GSync over HDMI too

#

But it needs to be a certain spec

#

I had to buy a new cable because mine was too old

#

"NVIDA GeForce GTX 16 series/RTX 20 series (Turing) and higher will support variable refresh rate over HDMI on displays which support this feature over HDMI 2.1."

#

"NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 series (Pascal) and higher GPUs supports VESA Adaptive-Sync variable refresh rate over the DisplayPort 1.2a standard. "

#

So a couple different things to note there

#

Specifically, GPU models and DP vs HDMI

#

So 10 series is basically DP only

#

20 series is HDMI and DP

#

Yes, read text

#

I posted XD

#

If buddy has 10 series

#

won't work with HDMI

#

LMAO

hot zephyr
#

I'm on a 3060Ti so should be fine

river edge
#

if it's a 10 series card, it won't work over HDMI

#

K

#

Probably old

#

Needs to be HDMI 2.1 cable as well

#

And so does the display

#

If it's an older Freesync display, will need DP

#

But monitor doesn't ahve it from what I read

#

So does mine

why doesn't it work normally?

no it works in nvidia but i was just asking why it doesn't work in settings

timber wolf
#

My video playback is dim but not on all of my monitors. The rest of the display looks normal, but when dragging a video to the problem monitor, the video immediately goes dim when it's more than halfway over. It's not specific to one monitor, and switching cables doesn't affect it. What do I do?

proud thorn
#

is the lg 27gl850 still worth it? It seems like it's a good option but it is still $500 and there are newer models from other brands that are comparable around the same price.

tame swallow
#

Is the G27q any good?

#

And is a VA panel really that bad?

VA, IMO, isn't bad. IPS has better color accuracy which only really matters for photos and videos, editing and rendering, etc.

What monitor can I get that's 32' curved and 1MS response time with more then 165 Hertz and is 2K/1080 that my ROG 580 graphics card would support

uh

#

why

magic lotus
#

Wdym why?

visual pilot
#

every single requirement is confusing me

magic lotus
#

I want to buy one

#

I want a monitor that is

32' Inches Curved
Response time is 1ms
165 hertz
and resolution is
2K or 1090/1920

visual pilot
#

Why 32inch, you want UW..?

#

what measurement of response time

magic lotus
#

I want big monitors

visual pilot
#

why 165hz when it's basically indistinguishable from 144

magic lotus
#

It's better 144?

visual pilot
#

and you mean 1440p/1080p?

#

There's a lot more 144hz monitors

magic lotus
#

But what's better?

#

144hz?

#

Or 165hz?

visual pilot
#

165hz barely

magic lotus
#

So then I'll look for a monitor that's 144hz

visual pilot
#

and a 580 isn't going to have fun with 1440p144hz, so 1440p will likely be off the list

#

and if you need 32in

magic lotus
#

So then what resolution so my 580 could support?

visual pilot
#

16:9 1080p 32in looks terrible, 21:9 UW is the only real option left

how is dell s2721dgf and LG27GL850? are they really worth their price compared to like m27q ( all of them are practicly at the same price 420 eur) ? I do play quite late at night in a I guess rather dim room, will the dell stand out with its low contrast for exmaple in like arma 3 night op? as a side note, is samsung oddysey g5 garbage for its price at 320 eur?

You can check everything you need to know in Task Manager (mostly GPU and CPU)

@crude galleon the AOC CU34G2X 34 inch curver monitor is a good choice I have a AOC monitor and it's really good no dead pixels for a really long time it's for 600 Canadian dollars so about 500 USD

#

It's 34 inches and has freesync

#

And height adjustable

crude galleon
#

vagrant inlet

urban epoch
#

Oddysey g7 is held as one of the best 27" 1440p VA monitors unless you care about hdr or panel type

astral trellis
#

found this on kijiji for $225 cad, perfect condition

#

i think it's worth

#

i really just dont want to spend more than $300 on a monitor lul

#

and im ok with the 60hz, all i've ever known anyways

dusk basin
#

if your pc can run 4k

#

but i would more go with your budget with 1080p 24ich 144hz or 165hz

astral trellis
#

#

i was gonna get a 1440p

#

but 4k was actually cheaper on kijiji

What would people recommend for vesa mounting 2 24 inch monitors? Looking to spend as little as possible, but definitely willing to spend on quality.

dense oracle
#

for mounting two monitors because i was looking for one two can i do two portrait or do i have to do one portrait and one landscape

wise ridge
#

I was looking into 2 portrait, but to each their own

#

Mounting to what? Wall or Desk?

ugh, 27"

when will manufacturers learn that we want pixel density not resolution

27in 1440p @sage trail

#

it's good :P

sage trail
#

no

#

its not

#

i want 24" 1440p

#

at a high refresh rate

visual pilot
#

bruh

#

I like 27in 1440p

sage trail
#

small monitors are better for games where refresh rates such as 275hz are actually helpful

#

that monitor is a contradiction

mossy kindle
sage trail
#

i mean, yeah you can just sit farther from your monitor

mossy kindle
#

gonna be muuch pricey 1200 dollar

#

huge dude

sage trail
#

but we all dont have gigantic desks

visual pilot
#

hm

mossy kindle
#

27inc ideal for most

visual pilot
#

I want a bigger monitor so it's easier to see things lol

sage trail
#

big monitor puts things farther out of your peripheral vision

#

meaning your eyes have to dart around the edges of the screen more

visual pilot
#

most games idc about peripheral vision

sage trail
#

you should

mossy kindle
#

omg this topic going definetly irrelevent side

visual pilot
#

what i need to see is what's in front of me, and I need to see it easier

sage trail
#

good luck with that lmao

visual pilot
#

thanks

#

I play lots of fps’ and 144hz feels like enough and 27” is nice to feel more like I’m in the action

#

And have zoom meeting and notes open on same screen xD

#

any recommendations for 1440p 144hz or 165hz monitors under $500.00?

I was looking at this:

sorry i should have specified 27"

What are you doing with this monitor?

This is a good one, but with how many options are out there it could take a while if you want to find the absolute best

visual pilot
#

around 320-360$

Anyone know a reliable cheap monitor? I don't have any particular specs I need. I'd like it to not be garbage for gaming and video watching. This is just to hold me over since one of my monitors died today.

visual pilot
#

Well, is it going to be a main or secondary monitor

stuck mulch
#

Honestly I'd be fine with either, but wouldn't mind a slight upgrade... My surviving monitor is from 2011 and was a budget option back then

visual pilot
#

hm, monitor pricing went all wack too

stuck mulch
#

Wow. That's a lot cheaper than I would've expected 144hz to be. I don't even know if I could drive that with a 760. Thanks for the link

visual pilot
#

I mean, a month or two ago, good 144hz panels were 180$, and cheap ones more like 150$

stuck mulch
#

Dang. What happened to bump prices?

visual pilot
#

just market fluctuation and I'm guessing high demand from the holiday season

stuck mulch
#

Makes sense.

Hello, looking for a gaming monitor with at least 144hz. Possibly under $200. I found a 23.6” LG with 144hz for $180. Wondering if anyone knows of any better deals. TIA

msi g241 was nice, but not sure if the price went wack and is over 200 now, also mr1 linked another above

Hello all. Looking for opinions here please. My current monitor has finally given up the ghost. ☠️ It was an Asus VG248QE 1920x1080 144hz TN. I want to step up to the 2k "sweet spot" of 2560x1440 and I have a 1660ti GPU. Like everyone, trying to get the most "bang" for my $$$ My budget is $350 max. I have found this monitor, and it seems like it's a good monitor with great features for the price, just not in stock anywhere currently. Gigabyte G27Q 27" 144Hz IPS 2560x1440 Is there another monitor in this price range that I should be looking at, or is this the one to get with my budget restraints and features I want?

m27q is preferred over the g27q iirc

4k 144 monitors reasonable ? with 6900xt

although

river edge
#

I mean, 4K 144 is brand new

#

I think there's only 1 on the market

#

LG?

mossy tendon
#

radeon GPUs are better at lower resolutions

#

Nvidia is better for higher resolutions

#

so I would go 1440p 240hz

#

but that's just me
