[upbeat crown]

Alright I’m a big noob but I think all that’s correct, gpu turns on and everything and the input is either HDMI or DP both of which I’ve tried

As for this I don’t have any other things to test w/

[misty gyro]

Ok, did you reseat the card? (take it out of the slot and put it back)
If you're not sure on the power cables, post a quick picture of the top of the card

[upbeat crown]

Oh got it to work, thanks so much for ur help!

[misty gyro]

Sweet, glad I could help

[fiery slate]

Alright I went with this monitor

It was on sale so saved a couple dollars

[molten vault]

I mean it wont be terrible

looks nice

va tho

so viewing angles not great

[river edge]

When are you ever looking at a monitor from the side lol

[fiery slate]

I have an Omen x 27 240hz 1440p which is a TN and besides some slight yellow shifting, you can pretty much view it from any angle. My wife also has a Samsung VA 144hz and it's just fine.

This panel I am sure is of better quality than her 1080p 144hz.

I also view IPS as highly overrated. I've had them, played in them. I prefer response time.

[junior cipher]

I'm looking for a really good FHD 144hz IPS panel

[visual pilot]

1080p or 1440p?

[junior cipher]

I saw a video on the Benq 2510xe but idk

[junior cipher]

1080

[visual pilot]

MSI G241 is usually ~190usd

[junior cipher]

Okii I'll check it out, thanks

do I need to worry about brightness if I am only playing in the dark? Idk if contrast ratio/brightness matters but I don't wanna hurt my eyes

[visual pilot]

Not really, peak brightness spec is only about peak anyways

[warm osprey]

hi

guys what gaming monitor color quality is close to apple monitors

[visual pilot]

Different monitor tech, so...

[warm osprey]

@visual pilot hi again

[visual pilot]

hi again

[dusty shale]

Well, how much money do you have? and what are you doing with it?

[warm osprey]

1080p 144hz

gaming

350

[visual pilot]

You can easily get a good 1440p 170hz panel for that budget, what GPU do you have?

[dusty shale]

you probably wont get very close to Apple, but the m27q might be interesting if you have the right gpu

[warm osprey]

3080

[visual pilot]

Go for M27q
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012018

[dusty shale]

m27q is probably it

[warm osprey]

gigabyte?

[dusty shale]

yes

[warm osprey]

😐

what about lg

[dusty shale]

you can look for one if you want to but

[visual pilot]

too expensive

[dusty shale]

[visual pilot]

M27q is godlike

I think the good lg 1440p 144hz panel is like 500$

M27q review again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNIqwxAZ-MQ

[warm osprey]

is m27q really good

color quality is very important for me

specs is really good

[dusty shale]

its great for the money, and its right in your budget. check this for numbers https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m27q

[warm osprey]

can i run next gen games on 1080p 144 fps

[dusty shale]

you can run next gen 4K 120fps (without ray tracing) with a 3080

so 1080p 144hz is easily obtainable

[warm osprey]

5900x 3080 32gb 2tb ssd

rt max

[visual pilot]

1440p170hz is gonna work well too

[dusty shale]

many games have different rt implementations so it isnt very precise but it should be relatively obtainable especially with DLSS

[warm osprey]

thank you all

[trail sparrow]

none lol

comparing panels that are designed to be high dpi and color accurate

vs ones that go fast

[warped stirrup]

Wow so I got a good deal, just bought https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16824475096?Description=MSI Optix MAG274QRF-Qd&cm_re=MSI_Optix MAG274QRF-Qd-_-24-475-096-_-Product

for 550$

now its 700cad

no dead pixel on arival

reviews seemed better than M27Q https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/msi/optix-mag274qrf-qd

[serene pilot]

Hey, this one pivots.

[visual pilot]

interesting

@serene pilot even worse color tho

[serene pilot]

And it's also a few bucks higher.

Than the Asus monitor, that is.

checks newegg

I take it back. But it's also sold out.

[warped stirrup]

@visual pilot Which one has worse color ? the msi I bought compared to which one ?

[visual pilot]

@warped stirrup MSI monitor < Asus < Gigabyte

color accuracy, as tested by rtings

[warped stirrup]

that optix-mag274qrf-qd review doesn't say so

Cons

Colors look over-saturated before calibration.

To be faire there's no real way to calibrate that screen, you've got sliders that are hard to get a precise number on

It's so dumb, these monitor companies care more about making their UI look futuristik with lots of geometries than putting actualy features in them

[visual pilot]

@warped stirrup look at the detailed review lmao

Like they don't talk anything about the overshoot for the response time, when comparing to the M27q, WHICH HAS 0 OVERSHOOT, compared to a good bit of overshoot on most monitors

[warped stirrup]

What's overshoot, not super versed in monitors

googling rn

idk from the pictures in the review they both look the same

[visual pilot]

Oh the msi panel actually has pretty good overshoot, Asus was worse iirc

Overshoot is like

Inverse ghosting

[warped stirrup]

panel being slow to switch pixels so it looks like a ghost while the pixel light up ?

[visual pilot]

No, panel too quick to switch, and it overshoots the target color

[hushed root]

I just built a new rig, last desktop I had and built would of been over 13+ years ago. I only have a 1080p monitor at the moment and I want to go up to 1440p gaming now that I can do it. Any suggestions for a decent 1440p (144hz preferable) monitor?

Specs I'm running:
Ryzen 3700x
Gigabyte Rtx 3070 gaming OC
2 x 16gb 3600mhz hyper x fury

[serene pilot]

Mr.1111 will tell you Gigabyte M27q, and has reviews to prove it.

Me, I alternate between that and ASUS TUF VG27AQ, which costs more but has more positioning options.

I'm also on the lookout for a potential new monitor, but I'm in no hurry to grab one.

[hushed root]

I'd be looking at a 27"

[serene pilot]

Both are the same size.

[visual pilot]

Yea, it's a great monitor, the only real downsides are no BFI with VRR, and no pivot
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012018

(M27q)

[hushed root]

Cheers for the tips lads

I think I'd be leaning more towards the asua tuf

[serene pilot]

As long as you're happy with your choice.

[visual pilot]

M27q does outperform VG27aq a fair bit in terms of color accuracy and overshoot

[serene pilot]

Each monitor has its strengths.

[visual pilot]

Of course, but the decision is yours in the end, I will just feed you stats.

[hushed root]

Hows the m27q with g sync?

[visual pilot]

It works fine as tested by rtings and hwunboxed

[serene pilot]

So has TUF.

[visual pilot]

Yea

[hushed root]

Cool. Will probably check a few more reviews and go from there. Thanks

[visual pilot]

@hushed root https://rtings.com/ Has reviews on M27q and VG27aq and others,
and Hardware unboxed on Youtube has reviews on both of those, along with others.

[hushed root]

Legend thanks mate

[visual pilot]

:)

[hushed root]

Been a console gamer for far too long, so out of the loop these days lol

[serene pilot]

I'm also a console player.

And my PC has spoiled me.

[hushed root]

Last time I built a pc modular psu wasn't a thing

I've only got a xbox one (not even x) so firing up cyberpunk on 1080 ultra with dlss quality and ray tracing was quite an experience.

Can't wait to see what it looks like with a monitor that does it justice

[true grail]

Oh wow, welcome back to PC gaming lol

[maiden wedge]

Hehe

PC gang

[whole cloud]

I was looking at this one originally.... MSI Optix MAG272CQR but then started looking at Samsung CRG5. Both 27”.

Anyone got experience with either?

[supple mesa]

So I asked a few days ago what a good monitor that pivots would be for under $200 or around $200, are there any recommendations for cheapest or closest to $100?

[spring sequoia]

@whole cloud I personally like the g5

@whole cloud try the used market. The best thing new is this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bVzkcf/lg-24mk400h-b-240-1920x1080-75-hz-monitor-24mk400h-b

[whole cloud]

Thx! Me too and it’s a decent price. As far as that LG goes I need higher refresh and I want 27”.

[hushed root]

Lol thanks. It has been a minute.

[opal sinew]

I have the LG 27GL850-B 27 inch 144 hertz I can def rec it

[grim lintel]

whats the best 4k monitor?

[dusty shale]

PA32UCX-PK

[maiden wedge]

Seems like normal ips glow right?

Ofc its a bit better when viewing it

[misty gyro]

Every monitor has some level of backlight bleed

[maiden wedge]

Ya thats why i said is it a normal level of backlight bleed/ips glow

[misty gyro]

Looks fine to me

Hard to tell though because not only does discord compress the image my monitor isn't perfect either

[maiden wedge]

The bottom left corner is a bit annoying in dark scenes

Especially in youtube darkmode

Thanks for the help tho

[grim lintel]

thx

[spring sequoia]

Omg i tagged the wrong person on that sorry

Lol

[spring sequoia]

@supple mesa

@grim lintel it depends on if you want the 4k monitor for gameing or not. If not asus pro art all the way. If so go with what he said

[supple mesa]

All good, what I was asking for was one that can go into portrait mode

[whole cloud]

Makes more sense. 😂😂😂. That Samsung wil probably be my choice.

[maiden wedge]

Any good 1440p monitor recommendations at around $350?

[visual pilot]

@maiden wedge Gigabyte M27q
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012018

[maiden wedge]

You think it’s worth exchanging for my Samsung g5 odyssey?

[visual pilot]

I'd say that's better than a G5, assuming the 1440p144hz g5

[maiden wedge]

ty. might just stick with the g5 since mine came w/out any dead pixels and it works fine for what I do. i'll think about it

[visual pilot]

@maiden wedge just keep in mind M27q has very good color, response time, with 0 overshoot, along with the slightly higher refresh rate. If it's not a hassle to swap em out, I'd go for M27q, but if it's a hassle to do so, g5 is about the same in practice. And as a side note, dead pixels are pretty rare in general.

[maiden wedge]

ok, then I might get it. g5 has pretty bad ghosting issues that i'd rather do without

only thing im worried about is gigabyte customer support

[regal panther]

what display is good for 1440p at 144hz?

[sage trail]

the cheapest one

[regal panther]

yeah

[sage trail]

viewsonic and gigabyte have a good one

theres the gigabyte M27Q or G27Q

cant recall the difference

[regal panther]

I will have a look thanks

[sage trail]

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

the M27q has some additional qol features, plus its only 20 more than the G27q

like being 170hz, and it covers more of the sRGB gamut

[regal panther]

yeah thanks

[chrome niche]

Anyone know of a good 27 inch curved monitor to run 120hz on ps5?

[visual pilot]

M27q is the really damn good panel that has better response time and color, in terms of color accuracy and color space

[sand gulch]

i bought a new Asus VG24V monitor but it came with a display connector that doesn't match the 24-pin and back of my tower. Is there an adaptor?

[visual pilot]

24pin on the back of your tower..?

[sand gulch]

lol, i'm an ole lady and don't know terminology

[river edge]

DVI?

The white connector?

[sand gulch]

shall i take a pic ?

[river edge]

This?

[visual pilot]

VG24VQ has HDMI and Display port connectors on the back,

[sand gulch]

i didn't get a hdmi plug just the display plug

Vintage, that similar to what i have on old monitor

but there is no place to plug new one into back of tower

[visual pilot]

If possible, could you DM an image of the back of the tower to vintage?

[sand gulch]

yep working on that 🙂

[river edge]

Ok, you just need an adapter

[sand gulch]

yep thats what i was asking

hehe

[visual pilot]

Vintage, did you figure out if it was dvi?

[river edge]

https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-Adapter-2-Pack-Gold-Plated-Converter/dp/B00ZMVGTA2/ref=sr_1_4?_encoding=UTF8&c=ts&dchild=1&keywords=DVI-HDMI+Adapters&qid=1614017876&s=pc&sr=1-4&ts_id=3015395011

One of those will do fine

[sand gulch]

awesome, tysm

[river edge]

See below

[visual pilot]

Ah

That will work.

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824475002?Description=msi optix g24c&cm_re=msi_optix g24c-_-24-475-002-_-Product is this a good monitor?

its a VA LCD panel

[opal sinew]

tad bit small.

i'd shoot for 27 or 32

but it looks nice. 1080p though. 1440p is nice to have

but if you like it. get it

144 hertz is nice

freesync only..look up if it works with gsync

if you have a nv card

[visual pilot]

@vivid ravine I'd try to grab a G241, IPS, usually just 10$ more

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824475047

@opal sinew I wouldn't go 27in 1080p lel, and 1440p suggestions are really on a case-to-case basis depending on budget and what GPU they have

[maiden wedge]

Yeah depends on budget

[crimson moss]

If I’m gaming on a 24 inch 1920x1080 monitor which port on the gpu should I use?

[visual pilot]

I mean, for 1080p 144hz any displayport and hdmi 1.4b and above will support it

[crimson moss]

Bet thx

[maiden wedge]

Does anyone here have the Acer Predator XB273K? 4K 144hz G-Sync HDR Monitor

[dusty shale]

i can almost guarantee you no one has that panel in this server, what is your question about it?

Get whatever is cheapest tbh

Well i have available for same price

[dusty shale]

check out the M27q

its $10 more

[maiden wedge]

was wondering if its good on the 30 series

I have a 3090

[fading wyvern]

Well that would be the best case gaming scenario for it. But don’t expect to many games to hit over 100fps @maiden wedge

[maiden wedge]

Yeah i know, im aight with 4k 120hz

[mossy tendon]

120hz and 144hz panels cost the same to make so they are usually sold for the same amount

[maiden wedge]

I ordered the monitor this AM (amazon) pre work it was around 899, come home and see the price dropped by almost 300$ cancelled and re ordered

[trail sparrow]

120hz is just badly binned 144

[maiden wedge]

looks good

[maiden wedge]

wow

[maiden wedge]

Hi, I'm looking for a monitor to create a new dual-monitor set-up for some casual gaming and mainly office work and some video/photo editting. Anyone suggestions?

[visual pilot]

@maiden wedge well, what budget (per monitor), what GPU will you be using to run the monitors, and do you need them to match (size/panel/etc)?

[wispy onyx]

Can I plug in 2 monitors to set up different views? I ordered an adaptor because I couldn’t get one monitor to work but now the monitors mirror each other and I’m not able to set up separate monitors. Is this PC not capable? I find that hard to believe. Only 1 HDMI spot that senses the monitor. Here is the PC I bought my son.

Thought I’d be able to share photo of PC details. I’ll have to type them up. One sec

[river edge]

Right click desktop

Scroll down to the bottom

[wispy onyx]

I’m on the app

[river edge]

under Multiple Displays choose Extend

[wispy onyx]

Newegg sent me here and I’m clueless.

I’ll go try that.

[river edge]

Oh, gotcha

👍

[wispy onyx]

I’ve sent this up on my own PC’s multiple times but for some reason it doesn’t seem to work on his PC

[river edge]

Wait, so both monitors are working you just have the same thing on each, yeah?

[wispy onyx]

It doesn’t offer extend. It asks to detect and it doesn’t detect. It only allows me to plug in one monitor to a specific HDMI. If I plug into another HDMI port the monitor doesn’t work at all. So I ordered a splitter so I could plug in 2 hdmi’s into splitter and then that splitter into 1 port on PC. So now it mirrors images on monitors and doesn’t allow me to “extend” when I’m in display settings. So I’m wondering if this PC doesn’t allow the extend setup?

[river edge]

Ah yesh, splitters will just mirror monitors

You can't separately control them

You can DM me a picture of the video card connections or a link to the PC if you want so we can dig deeper?

[wispy onyx]

When I’m in advanced display settings, it only detects 1 display. I have spent so much time on this when it’s a very simple set up or at least supposed to be. So I think the PC is the issue

I would love to DM to troubleshoot this.

[trail sparrow]

lol

why

[river edge]

handled it, they needed a displayport to HDMI adapter

Card only had one HDMI port

[visual pilot]

fair

[river edge]

Because it's older parents buying a PC for their kid

They bought that because they don't know how to build one

[visual pilot]

Also, wouldn't 1 -> 2 hdmi also handle it?

[river edge]

Nah, the splitter they had didn't work

[visual pilot]

Fair nuff

[river edge]

MIrro only, no extend

[visual pilot]

weird

[river edge]

DP to HDMI adapter $8 on Amazon lol

I didn't think you could extend on an HDMI adapter, just DP

Is that not the case?

Did I miss something?

*splitter

[visual pilot]

I know you can use MST on DP to do some fancy stuff to extend to a lot of panels, not sure on hdmi

[river edge]

Ah, I'll look deeper into it

[drowsy peak]

[errant edge]

an reccomendations on a cheap 1440p monitor?

I have a 1080p 165 hz rn

[mossy tendon]

the cheapest one you can find with decent reviews is the one you should buy

[errant edge]

how uch do you think that would be?

[mossy tendon]

at 60hz, only $200 or so

[errant edge]

much*

[mossy tendon]

144hz would be $400 or higher probably

[errant edge]

jesus

gonna be a while before i can get that then xD

[mossy tendon]

see what you can get tho

[trail sparrow]

[errant edge]

just bought my first pc and this monitor in december

well first real pc

had a 1030 before, have a 3060 ti now

[mossy tendon]

its not all necessarily going to be that expensive, but thats about the median ive seen

[trail sparrow]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0862YHJ56

[errant edge]

alright thanks

[trail sparrow]

imagine knowing what ur talking about

[mossy tendon]

stfu lili

[errant edge]

oh cool thanks

[mossy tendon]

I said thats about the median

[trail sparrow]

median is 300

[mossy tendon]

didnt say that was the only price you would find them at

[trail sparrow]

so

[errant edge]

so how big is the difference bwteen 1080p and 1440p?

[mossy tendon]

big

[trail sparrow]

ehh

[mossy tendon]

2k is 4x the size, iirc

or is that 4k?

[trail sparrow]

probs wont notice in a lot of fast paced games

[mossy tendon]

wait

is 2k 4x the size of 1080p or is it 4k thats 4x the size of 2k

[trail sparrow]

what

[mossy tendon]

nevermind

i must be confused

i got math to do

see ya

[errant edge]

idek what that means xD

im still new to computer stuff lmao

[trail sparrow]

27-inch 1080p monitor has a pixel density of about 81 ppi
27-inch 1440p monitor has a pixel density of about 108 ppi

[errant edge]

then is it worth it spending 250$ on a 1440p monitor?

bc i alr have a 1080p with a slightly higher refresh rate

my second monitor is pretty bad tho, 60hz 1050p

its the old monitor i got with my old pc like 3 years ago

[mossy tendon]

I have 1x 144hz 1440p monitor, 2x 1080p 60hz, and 2x 1600x1440 144hz

[errant edge]

jesus

[trail sparrow]

yea shes spoiled

[mossy tendon]

thats a bit deceptive lol

[trail sparrow]

[dusty shale]

4K is 4x 1080p

[mossy tendon]

the 1600x1440 are from lenses of a VR headset

[errant edge]

my desk is big enough for maybe 4 monitors

[mossy tendon]

thats what I thought

[errant edge]

and thats if two are smaller

[mossy tendon]

8k is 4x 4k too, right?

[errant edge]

i didnt even know 8k existed

[mossy tendon]

3090 can do 8k gaming

[dusty shale]

yes

[trail sparrow]

8k still a huge meme tbh

[mossy tendon]

yeah

no one going to be playing 8k

[trail sparrow]

no one gonna be using 8k

tbh

[errant edge]

jesus christ, first one on amazin is a 32inch and its 4 thousand

amazon

i cannot type today

[trail sparrow]

8k media is insane file sizes

like 200+gb per remux

[errant edge]

would you guys reccomend a 1440p monitor or a 4k monitor?

[dusty shale]

what GPU and what are you playing?

[errant edge]

3060 ti and the most demanding games are probable just cause 4 and cold war

[dusty shale]

1440p

[errant edge]

alr thanks

[mossy tendon]

cold war in 4k is a nono

[errant edge]

i still need to upgrade my motherboard xD

bought a pre built and it has a pretty bad mobo

2 ram slots and power delivery to cpu is awful

[opal sinew]

benchmark numbers were released for the 3060ti..15 to 25% more fps only. glad I am not buying that card. waiting out for a 3080

from a 2070

[fading wyvern]

A helpful visual

[opal sinew]

I say 5 years until 8k is mainstream

maybe more

[serene pilot]

We're going too big too fast.

[opal sinew]

yes

back in the 80s and 90s and before then standards stood for a LONNNNG time

[visual pilot]

Meh, I feel like it's not gonna become mainstream as the resolution natively, I personally see a lot of promise in upscaling like dlss

[opal sinew]

this reeks of hey we can do it why not without any sort of due process in time

[serene pilot]

Cables are still running at 1080i.

[opal sinew]

broadcast TV

yes!

1080i...lol

but honestly to send that via coax would take huge upgrades infrastruture

spelling*

[serene pilot]

And yet we're pushing three generations of image fidelity in a short time, without said infrastructure to catch up?

Or maybe this is a call of action that cable is dead and streaming is alive.

[opal sinew]

yeah pretty much. who wants old ass 1080i on new 4k and 8k oleds

makes 0 sense

the mso's are seeing the writing on the wall. they know they have to do something

that's why everyone is laying more infrastructure now

docsis and other stuff

upgrades

comcast is actually running fiber now through the old coax cabling...pretty neat how they do it.

[fading wyvern]

What

[misty gyro]

Cable is falling apart, not quite dead but better alternatives exist now than previously did. They need to innovate to stay relevant, but they have too much money to be failing right now.

[opal sinew]

comcast is deploying glass through existing coax cabling sheilding by tunneling it through the coax in the ground now.

look it up

is that the highest they offer near you?

[serene pilot]

They can upgrade to a gig. There's no fibre option in my area.

[opal sinew]

if fiber were near you...charter would probably not be or singing a totally different tune $$$ wise

[serene pilot]

They ARE accepting fibre in small sections.

[opal sinew]

i read charter deploys fiber but with the same crappy upload speed...i was like why do that

[misty gyro]

Comcast has a monopoly in my area. They have literally zero incentive to change the infrastructure here. The only other options for internet service are DSL or some sort of wireless.

[opal sinew]

that sucks. comast and fios I used to have a choice. anyone who knew anything would never call comcast. slower more expensive speeds.

[serene pilot]

Suburbia isn't as blessed with fibre as in cities.

[opal sinew]

I paid 89$ a month for unlimited phone, stb which menu system was second to none, free hbo and 1gig/1gig...was unreal

yeah. I wish the gov would step in and really upgrade the country....every single town. they could do it and have the money to do it

[misty gyro]

I got so sick of Comcast I went to T-Mobile for hotspot internet lol. Strangely I get much faster upload speeds now, but it's hard to get less than I got on cable.

[opal sinew]

funny thing is I have spectrum for my mobile service. they use verizons towers. I get faster upload on my mobile than I do with hardwire coax in my home

[misty gyro]

Yeah I went from 300/10 on comcast to 160/120 (off peak hours) but for half the price

[opal sinew]

yeah. crazy how its broken like that

comcasts data caps is total bs. they even stated unlimited data would not impact their network at all. pure money grab by comcast

spectrum is unlimited thankfully

[misty gyro]

Completely a money grab. Sure only a handful of users will go over 1.2 TB, but charging by the GB after that is pure greed

[serene pilot]

I could've gotten worse than Spectrum. Still, there's room for improvement with that company.

[opal sinew]

the thing about spectrum. I live in worcester, ma which is a huge new england town. so this area they are kinda forced to deploy new upgrades right away due to the visibility. just this area gets stuff quick from charter. I really have no complaints. I get 1080 with overprovision on my gig line and it's worth the money to me. hardly ever goes out and the speed is fast. good service so far but I know a lot of people who have issues

not know but read

[soft shell]

Hi does anyone know how to connect 2 monitors to a laptop for an extended display (not just a mirrored display)?

[dusty shale]

Go into windows display settings and change it from mirrored to extended.

[proud parcel]

hello

i got a second monitor

but it doesnt show anything

only the wallpapere

how do i fix this?

[spring sequoia]

Go into display setting and assign it a new function easy

It’s possible that it is working you just accidentally set it to think it is physically set A different place, so maybe just run your mouse around the perimeter

[proud parcel]

how do i remove the blue-ish tint on my second monitor?

if i can?

[river edge]

What is the monitor?

Brand and model

[proud parcel]

its a old LG monitor

[rustic basin]

you could mess with the color settings maybe

[river edge]

Yeah, seems like either the blue is set high from a Preset in the menu or it might just be the way it is

Was hoping for a model number to investigate

[proud parcel]

were do i find the model number?

[river edge]

On the back on a label

usually by a barcode

[proud parcel]

il check

[spark gust]

I have no idea how to shop for a monitor or what specs to look for. Picked up the two I have now because they were $500 at the time, on clearance open-box for $99, almost 5 years ago. Going to keep an eye out for one to replace my primary display for gaming, where do I even start? Based on PC specs? Or monitor specs?

[proud parcel]

i also need to get me some new monitors

[fiery slate]

Monitor is 1440p but recommended is 720p?

Is there a way to change that

[river edge]

Depends on the GPU?

[fiery slate]

its a 3090

there was a 970 in it while my 3090 got redone though?

[river edge]

Didi you fully reinstall the driver?

Or just pop it back in?

[fiery slate]

I didn't fully remove it but I have reinstalled it like twice

[river edge]

I would use DDU to remove it and start from scratch

https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

[fiery slate]

doing that now

ok without drivers installed now it recommends 1080p O.o

Ok looks like we are good atm

[spark gust]

Do you pick monitors based on PC specs entirely? Or just monitor specs? I have a 2070 super and Ryzen 7 3700x. I don't play super high end stuff like Cyberpunk but I'm looking to play Diablo when it releases and some mid to high end things. Just want good performance out of a monitor, what specs should I be looking for?

[river edge]

PC specs, IE, what resolution you're playing at

[fiery slate]

its now working better

[river edge]

You should be looking at 1440p monitors, 144-165hz

[visual pilot]

Well, monitor specs and PC specs both matter. I would suggest starting with looking at 1440p 144hz+ ips panels

[fiery slate]

PC specs and upwards mobility

I would go with... with what @river edge just said

[visual pilot]

M27q is my main suggestion for monitor once again @spark gust , 320$ for 1440p170hz ips goodness

[spark gust]

Once again? Sorry if you mentioned it earlier and I missed it! Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'll look into this.

[visual pilot]

Heh, it's just a panel I love to reccomend

[spark gust]

Oh, got it!

[visual pilot]

90% of every monitor I reccomend is either a M27q or a G241 (G241 is a 1080p 144hz ips panel)

[fiery slate]

Depends on what you play tbh. IPS is great for color but even the "1ms" IPS pales compared to a proper 1ms

[visual pilot]

eh, depends on the panel

M27q response time can slap va and other ips panels

[fiery slate]

Though that monitor has wonderful price to performance just without any bells and whistles that you are recommending. It is a wonderfully underpriced piece of tech

[spark gust]

Is there a clear winner when comparing HDMI vs Displayport?

[visual pilot]

It does have nice bells and whistles, it's still the only panel that has built-in KVM I know of :P

[fiery slate]

Displayport OWNS

[visual pilot]

Yes, displayport carry more bandwidth

[fiery slate]

there is no comparing

[visual pilot]

and has the displayport MST thing for supporting lotta panels

[spark gust]

Well that makes that easy - thank you haha

[fiery slate]

My wife went from hdmi with a 1660ti to displayport 1.2 with a 2080ti

she refuses to go back ever

even on the same monitor

[visual pilot]

lol

[fiery slate]

It made that much difference

[visual pilot]

Only thing I like HDMI (1.4b for me) over displayport (1.2 for me) for my 1080p 144hz panel is that displayport gives me 143.98hz for some reason, when it reads 144hz for hdmi >:P

everything else DP just slaps, higher supported resolution, supports g-sync when my hdmi 1.4b can't supprt g-sync at 1080p 144hz

[fiery slate]

You are still getting the same hz, Displayport just tells you the honest truth xD

[spark gust]

Awesome, thank you for the easy answer. Displayport it is.

[visual pilot]

Yea, I just don't like that weird number >:(

[fiery slate]

My wife had the same thing. I told her she needed a displayport though if I was gonna give her the 2080ti. I got a long exasperated sigh then when she saw the difference she was like "It's like a whole new computer". She is on a 1080p, 144hz display. I want to get her something better but she likes her monitor so

[spark gust]

I just found my current monitor specs on my NewEgg account and I definitely think it's upgrade time. lol

[sage trail]

thats not even bad tho

[river edge]

that's not bad yeah

[fiery slate]

What monitor?

I mean graphics card

[sage trail]

i used 1280x720, 1366x768, and 1440x900 all my life up until literally 2 years ago

[spark gust]

I got them on clearance for $99 ea, but I know they were pretty expensive brand new when I got them. LG 23MP57HQ-P

[sage trail]

ive ascended to 1080p

[spark gust]

They don't seem terrible, the refresh is just low.

[fiery slate]

You said a 2070 super right?

[spark gust]

Yes

[fiery slate]

Well if you want High refresh, 1080p high refresh would be easiest for that card. 1440p if you plan to replace it with the 4070

[river edge]

For a 2070?

1440p 144-165hz pog

[fiery slate]

1440p works for it, however looking towards the future how often do you replace hardware?

That is the key rn.

[river edge]

Get the monitor now

Get a better GPU later. 2070 will do 1440p no problem

My 2060 did it just fine

[spark gust]

I just built this PC using a 2070 super from a pre-built my friend got. It's only 2 months used. She replaced it with a 3080 once she found one. I don't intend to upgrade again until I need to, I'm not the "need the newest tech every year" type. We're talking 4-5 years. I just built this PC after having my old one for 4 years. I didn't feel that I needed a 3000 series.

I just don't play anything or do anything that needed it.

[fiery slate]

With a 1440p monitor you will get a better overal fidelity now, with a need to upgrade sooner

[river edge]

1440p 144-165hz then

[fiery slate]

oh then ya

if it didn't need a 2070super to begin with then go 1440p

might as well use the gpu then

and technically if DLSS gets as big as the hype around it, technically there is always that to help you get to that 1440p goodness

[spark gust]

Yea, I could handle a 3000 if I wanted to, just didn't feel the need to pay for one when my friend gave me hers for free lol. Free 2070s > struggling to find a 3000 series and paying for it.

[fiery slate]

oh it's still a wonderful gpu

I had one 6 months ago before I went heavy into tech

It was a very able gpu

I just wanted to taste the top...

My G9 still not here today and today was delivery day.... ooof

[spark gust]

Right, I know it's still super solid which is why I was okay with going with it in a brand new build. Everything else in the PC is solid, I was totally fine with the GPU being slightly behind in some categories. I don't do anything super high-end, I just want to enjoy some game on high settings.

And again. Free is a great word. lol

[fiery slate]

True

The 20 series didn't become bad overnight. We just had a huge generational leap

[river edge]

Yes

It's not bad by any stretch

[fiery slate]

I was just looking towards the future on the idea of what is to come really

[river edge]

1440p will last you a while. 4K gaming still isn't there yet

[spark gust]

Cool. Yea I'm really happy with my new rig so far. I don't care if it doesn't hit the absolute peak of graphical capability, and if I ever want it to I could grab a 3000 series and plug it in. I just don't have the desire to. I'll definitely look at the new monitor in the near future!

[river edge]

2070 is still a really good card

[spark gust]

Yup! I'm very happy with it.

[fiery slate]

If you plan to possibly grab a better card later, then 1440p. I can't do 1080p unless its a small laptop screen now

I have a 1440p 240hz and it is

Amazing

[fiery slate]

However waiting on that Samsung Odyssey G9 is excruciating. It is taking forever to show up

[supple mesa]

Why did you buy one?

[fiery slate]

Why not?

[supple mesa]

Lol, fair enough

[fiery slate]

I mean if you can provide me a reason as to why not then I will listen but I have a baller machine

So why not

[supple mesa]

Lol

Definitely a baller machine

And the specs for the Odyssey G9 are pretty OP ngl

I've just never met someone that has bought a monitor of that size. Like, I currently have the largest monitor in friend group, which is a curved 32" 2560x1440

[fiery slate]

I'm Mr. Overkill. At least wifey calls me that

I just wanted to have to taste of the top

[supple mesa]

XD

Understandable

[fiery slate]

8 months ago I was gaming on a 1080p 60hz, i7 4770, 760 3gb vram

With 32gb ram

I had that puppy for 6 years

I wanted to see what the top looked like and now... never going back so a 5120x1440 sounded amazing

[supple mesa]

Understandable

What kind of case you got holding that beast all together?

[cyan chasm]

Is the gigabyte m27q a good monitor?

[rustic basin]

yes

[cyan chasm]

Is it compatible with g-sync?

[rustic basin]

check the specs

[cyan chasm]

I have and haven’t seen anything saying if it’s compatible

[sage trail]

yes that monitor will do gsync

[fiery slate]

P500a

[supple mesa]

Niceee, I plan on getting that sometime soon

[cyan chasm]

Ok ok, thanks

[fiery slate]

It's absolutely amazeballs

[supple mesa]

I bet!

[opal sinew]

overwatch and gsync is pretty nice...makes my ballzinies tickle

great smooveness

Doesn’t seem that good according to amazons reviews

[dusty shale]

Pretty good, also check out the m27q

[warm osprey]

what 4k 55" hdr tv is overall better
display quality is important for me
not smart

price: budget

Budget 27 qhd display? And 34 uwqhd

[loud patrol]

thoughts about Viewsonic XG2405? it's $204 here (hope once i get one it will still be in stock and doesn't have inflated price)

[tribal sand]

has anyone the MSI MAG342CQRV?

[dusty shale]

I would recommend

M27q, and the MSI monitor is good if it is sub $500.

[tribal sand]

the msi is at 429€

[tribal sand]

i bought it

tomorrow arrives

What should I play on ir first?

[dusty shale]

Final fantasy 7 remake

[mossy tendon]

the original Doom game

[fiery slate]

I am playing ff15

And it gets about 70fps

Looks... just beautiful

[fiery slate]

Light overshoot, really really had to look for it though. Amazing. If I hadn't have known about the overshoot I wouldn't have even noticed ever

[cerulean knot]

Looking for the best settings for my M27Q, any ideas?

[visual pilot]

@cerulean knot What exact settings are you looking for? Response time and overshoot wise, the "Picture quality" mode is the best, and calibration wise, the out-of-box calibration is pretty nice, no real need to calibrate further.

[cerulean knot]

Thanks

[visual parrot]

anyone know if the samsung odyssey g9 is ok to use with 2 nvidia 1080gtx?

[mossy tendon]

why wouldnt it be?

[river edge]

I mean, 240hz refresh rate 5120x1440p

[foggy flame]

i'm assuming you already have the 1080s?

[dusty shale]

it says that the 1080 is DP 1.2 Certified and DP 1.4 "ready" so idrk unless you are certain that your card can use DP1.4, if so then it is fine to use.

[rugged forge]

idk if this question belongs here but my monitor is an asus 1080o 165hz 0.5 ms monitor (I don’t remember the model) and im struggling to find a good DisplayPort cable. There’s so many options and I don’t know much about it so could someone help me find one? I don’t want it to be too expensive though

[river edge]

$10 https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-DisplayPort-Cable-Feet/dp/B01J8S6X2I

Does me good at 1440p 165hz

[rugged forge]

is VESA certified important?

[dusty shale]

when buying cables no

[rugged forge]

ok then, thanks a lot! I think I’m going to order the Amazon basics one

[river edge]

VESA is a mount specification, not cables

[rugged forge]

ohhhh

[dreamy galleon]

Do curved gaming monitors have a negative impact on FPS games?

[river edge]

Cruved has nothing to do with it

Resolution and refresh only affect FPS

[maiden wedge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JPrYcf/gigabyte-g27q-270-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-g27q how good is this?

it looks like a more affordable version of the m27q

and apparently it works with g sync but not officially

[dusty shale]

given the price, i would still get the m27q

[visual pilot]

@maiden wedge no

It's IPS but lower color and worse response

and bit lower refresh rate

[maiden wedge]

i thought it was 1ms

i searched it up

[visual pilot]

please don't go for rated

please

[maiden wedge]

bruhhhh

[visual pilot]

@maiden wedge "1ms" g2g could be anywhere from like 5ms color to like 50ms

M27q has really nice response time, and it's about 8.4ms average during testing

[maiden wedge]

ugh i was planning to go under $300 for a monitor

hm

[visual pilot]

320$ for M27q not bad at all tho

@maiden wedge found a good example, this monitor claims "1ms" response time,
https://us.aoc.com/en/gaming-monitors/cq32g1
review testing shows us 27ms response time average

[maiden wedge]

bruhhhhhhhhhh

freakin lying ass manufacturers

[visual pilot]

it's just

@maiden wedge they're technically correct, just wacky asf definitions and various ways of measuring

like measuring 20% to 80% instead of whole thing

[mossy tendon]

I wish these things were more known to consumers

[visual pilot]

yep

[mossy tendon]

this is borderline false advertising at that point tbh

1ms should mean 1ms of latency

[swift tapir]

whats a good cheap second monitor to get?

[mossy tendon]

some 1080p 60hz monitor

with a size to match your main

[swift tapir]

do you have any recommendation for some cheap 60hz?

[dusty shale]

what resolution and size is your main monitor? and what is the budget for the second monitor?

[swift tapir]

my main is just 1080p and 24'', the size for the second one doesn't matter since its gonna be casual but somewhere around $100

[dusty shale]

CB242Y

[swift tapir]

ah i saw that one waht do you think of Acer K242HQL

[dusty shale]

its TN, so not great

[tired mesa]

Would this wall mount work with this tv?https://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Motion-TV-Wall-Mount-for-Samsung-Vizio-Sharp-LG-TCL-40-42-47-50-55/183548559351?hash=item2abc58bff7:g:XIcAAOSw30JfXuJ3

And the tv is TCL 50S425

[cerulean knot]

They are all pretty universal I’d say, just match the size

Does anyone know of a good way to adjust multiple screens from different companies to have the same tint/contrast/brightness?

[jagged jay]

Hey Guys, I had a monitor question. Today I'm going to put together my new system. 10700KF + RTX 3070.

Obviously a 1440p capable machine. However my question was, would 1080p be possible on a 1440p monitor or would it look screwed up. Reason I'm asking is probably later down the line when the 3070 is starting to age I can squeeze the last juices out of it by going down to 1080p. Or just for games where I'd value fps over visuals.

So would 1080p look fine on a 1440p monitor or would it look blurry or corrupted.
(Ping me)

[fading wyvern]

it'll look fine, it'll just seem a tiny bit blurry at 27 inches

[coral path]

razer 27 monitor vs gigabyte g27qc

which one is better>

[steel ridge]

Why would you buy a Razer monitor

the thing is crazily overpriced

[spring sequoia]

Hmm

[coral path]

cause razer peripherals

[spring sequoia]

Yeah it’s overpriced but it looks cool to hell

[steel ridge]

Your comparing a $700 overpriced monitor to a $300 one

[spring sequoia]

The gigabyte is better in most ways

But the razor one looks so cool

You will get points for coolness

[steel ridge]

For that price its not worth it slightly

[spring sequoia]

Well yeah

But neither is custom watercooling

[steel ridge]

for $700 you could get a 4K monitor

[spring sequoia]

We do it because its cool

[steel ridge]

instead of a 1440p

But you can buy a way better monitor that looks good for that price

[spring sequoia]

He speaks reason, if you really have to have the razor one, I completely see what you mean

But the gigabyte is better spec

Im sure it won’t affect the experience much at all anyway

[coral path]

i mean the features it has

[spring sequoia]

The gigabyte is 165hz

[coral path]

i mean i have the gigabyte one just wanted to know

but that odyssey looks neat

[spring sequoia]

Well we could have known that

Its kinda weird to have a dual monitor setup with an odyssey tho

Keep the gigabyte

The razor one is cool but its more like a frivolous cool

[coral path]

unless they make one that it rotatable

but yeah its kinda expensive

[fringe ridge]

wth

does razor even have monitors ?????

i have never seen anyone use them

[dusty shale]

look at the m27q

[maiden wedge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LFRzK8/acer-xv272u-pbmiiprzx-270-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-xv272u-pbmiiprzx any thoughts on this?

or am i going to get yelled at for not m27q

[fading wyvern]

Seems like a pretty typical ips. At 300$ it ain’t bad at all. You can run 10bit color on it at up to 120hz. Supposedly it sometimes has qc issues with stuck pixels and flickering but if you don’t mind grabbing replacements the value is there... but for only 30$ more the m27q is just a obvious go to... way newer panel and excellent features. 🤷‍♂️

[maiden wedge]

cool cool

wonder what he was talking about then

this is from bapc

[fading wyvern]

Probably similar qc issues or something

Most IPS panels have them if not all of them

[maiden wedge]

hm

[fading wyvern]

Can’t really beat it on price to features though

Personally I’m a fan of LGs panels but I gotta admit this m27q is pretty great on paper and in reviews

[maiden wedge]

so is 1440p good for the 3060 ti since im not really doing any super gpu heavy stuff and im trying to do more vid editing and whatnot

or should i drop to 1080

[fading wyvern]

Don’t expect any crazy frame rates in anything other then esport games and you’ll have a fine experience. 1440p is always a kinda nice to have and you can always just run games or edit in 1080p

[maiden wedge]

im mostly playing minecraft lmaooo

yea the downscaling should be fine too

[fading wyvern]

Install some shaders and you’ll bring it to its knees

But yeah you’ll be fine

👍

[maiden wedge]

seus pgti be like

freaking turn my gpu into an explosive

downscale to 144p with rtx and get 1000 fps

make it a nightmare at 27 inch

[trail sparrow]

it looks super nice

the razer one lul

[fading wyvern]

Could pretty much design a entire setup around it

[trail sparrow]

fr tho

i think its worth if u really want aesthetics

[fading wyvern]

The only reason I went with viewsonic tbh is cuz I didn’t want a red accented monitor but still wanted that lg panel 🤷‍♂️

[trail sparrow]

lol

[visual pilot]

ask em what it was about :P

pcmr loves M27q as much as I do

reddit is weird tho

[maiden wedge]

mk

[maiden wedge]

apparently like some dead pixel stuff

at least that's what i think he's talking about

and a lot of bleed

yea no not dead pixels

just bleed and weird light pattern

[visual pilot]

oh one of people who for some reason think bgr is just bad

[maiden wedge]

mmm

[maiden wedge]

also is m27q g sync?

[fading wyvern]

Compatible

[maiden wedge]

good

[fading wyvern]

Getting just a straight up gsync monito is gunna be at minimum like 500$

[maiden wedge]

bruhhhh

[dusty shale]

what would you need real Gsync for?

[maiden wedge]

idk i was just asking

[spring sequoia]

Razor cant tease me like this

Its a mouse commercial but I thought it was for their trash monitors lol

[mossy tendon]

Heh

Their monitors aren’t horrible but they are overpriced as hell

[warped basalt]

Good 1440p monitors that cost around 300-500$?

[fading wyvern]

M27q

[warped basalt]

Thanks

[weary mango]

Err this is the closest chat I could find but

Help my pc pooped it self I launched Minecraft and everything froze and now it’s on but no video output

[mossy tendon]

need more info

@weary mango

is there any lights or anything on your card?

[weary mango]

Some one on the ltt server helped me out but thanks for asking

[maiden wedge]

best monitor under $300?

[dusty shale]

i would recommend the m27q, its just slightly higher than your budget, but if you really need it to be below $300 then VX2758-2KP-MHD

[maiden wedge]

bruh the guys at bapc are as crazy about 10400f as y'all are as crazy with the m27q

[rustic basin]

what theyre both good bang for buck

[dusty shale]

^ the 10400f is better at gaming then a 3600 for $50 cheaper

[rustic basin]

provided you have fast ram

[river edge]

That's because it beats the 3600 in price and FPS in games lol

😉

[fading wyvern]

M27q is just op

[river edge]

What's the smallest display size where 4k is truly visible? I am using 2 x 22 inch displays, and I am not sure I'd feel comfortable using 2 x 30 inch displays, or at least my neck would have to argue with this.

And I will definitely never ever move to 1 display after using 2 display, maybe I will move to 3 displays 😄

As far as I see, big brands don't even have 4k for 22 inch. Or at least there aren't in the shop stocks I am cheking 😄

Even 24 might be too big for my neck to be comfortably moving from one to another

[dusty island]

iirc according to pixel density, 24” for 1080p, 27” for 1440p, 32” for 4k?

But I believe anything between 27-32” is fine for 4k

[charred saffron]

Thank you, so no 4k for me.

Maybe a separate 4k for gaming, but I highly doubt it.

[dusty island]

I personally can’t notice a huge difference in 4K gaming vs 2k anyways, so I wouldn’t say it’s devastating having to go with 2k monitors instead

If you really want noticeable performance I think you’ll find it better to go with higher refresh rate, I.e, 170hz or 240hz

[charred saffron]

That I will do, thanks for tip, probably go remain at 22, or go 24, and change hz.

Maybe if possible try 2 24 screens for one week.

[river edge]

You'll notice high refresh more than resolution IMO

[charred saffron]

And see if it's good.

Thank you

[covert solstice]

1440p144+hz ips masterrace

[charred saffron]

Is that a model? Pardon the noob question 😛

Cause google can't find any masterrace for me

[covert solstice]

nah its just a joke

[charred saffron]

Ah, redit

I ended up on a reddit page 😄

Good, problem solved.

[covert solstice]

1440p 144hz monitors are the sweet spot for price/performance and ips have nice colors

[charred saffron]

How many inch?

22-24? For dual display.

I definitely won't go higher for my neck safe.

[covert solstice]

most good 1440p monitors are 27 inch, dell makes some good 24 inch ones but cant remember others

[charred saffron]

Thank you, dully noted.

And saved.

My current displays don't have the function, but are anti glare displays good to go to?

Or they have issues.

I mean when the sun hits the display more or less directly, it tends to make things less visible.

What should I chose for that?

[finite leaf]

Can someone help me real quick?

Do i need the green cable grounded

[misty gyro]

Yes, you definitely need to attach the ground wire

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HbCD4D/viotek-gn27d-270-2560x1440-144hz-monitor-gn27d any thoughts?

[trail sparrow]

samsung panel

pog

[fading wyvern]

Not a lg panel

[maiden wedge]

Can anyone link me a 4k monitor with decent response time?

27-28 in. preferably

[dusty shale]

budget?

[maiden wedge]

Uh

Whats a decent amount?

$300?

[river edge]

Advertised response times are also false, just an FYI

[maiden wedge]

Yea ik

Because there's gtg and other colors but I just want something where it won't be noticeable

[dusty shale]

what are you using the monitor for?

[maiden wedge]

For now it'll be my main monitor but eventually a secondary

So gaming and editing preferably an ips or va panel

[dusty shale]

what GPU do you have?

[maiden wedge]

I have an Xbox rn but planning on building a 3070/3080 pc once prices get settled a lil bit

[dusty shale]

with $300 you can get only 60hz 4k, so that wouldnt be the greatest for gaming

[maiden wedge]

Yea that's what I was aiming

I wasn't expecting 144hz

[fading wyvern]

Eh this Samsung is a bit large 32in LU32J590UQNXZA advertised a 4ms and this asus VG289Q is a advertised 5ms and is 28 inches

Both 60hz

[dusty shale]

VG289Q it has 8bit+frc so it isnt the best for color sensitive work but it will get the job done
I would recommend a 1440p monitor instead at your budget (m27q)

[fading wyvern]

I’d also say go 1440p lol

[maiden wedge]

Alright thanks appreciate the input 💯

[river edge]

If 1440p, M27Q

[fading wyvern]

Here comes the 309$ pile on

[river edge]

They said budget was $300 so...it's close.

[fading wyvern]

I just mean it’s the one stop answer because nothing even comes close to it on this channel lol

[near perch]

I got the VG27AQ and lemee tell you]

coming from 1080p 144hz especially, 1440p 165hz is very nice especially on an ips panel thats twice as bright as my old panel

don't like the 400$ pricetag tho. and it doesn't have dp 1.4 for whatever reason, so i can't get 10 bit color at 165 hz but its not really that big of a deal

[warped basalt]

Should i get the m27q or the g27qc ? The g27qc cost 75 $ less then the m27q is it worth spending more for the m27q?

[near perch]

you're gonna use it for a long time

75$ isn't much a difference in the long run

m27q is ips panel also

way better pixel response time

and viewing angles

looking at the comparison on rtings

[warped basalt]

Ok thanks

[weary mango]

@rich storm dude my pc is doing it again but it’s even worse now all the fans ramp up video input dies then after a cold reset it will work again

[hasty dust]

i have a 2070 super (msi gaming trio or something) and it has 3 DisplayPort cable plugins. i bought 2 DisplayPort cable for my monitors which are also MSI but for some reason i can only have one connected by DisplayPort? i dont know why but everytime i tried to plug them both in by DisplayPort it wouldnt be recognized by my PC. rn they are both connected but one is DisplayPort and one is HDMI. dm me if you know how to fix this

[maiden wedge]

4k 28 inches the image quality on that is gonna be so crisp

that's like 200 pixels per inch ish if i did the math right

[mossy tendon]

I want to invest in a 4k 120hz TV

where can I find one

[maiden wedge]

LG?

[mossy tendon]

any company

ive had good experiences with Sony and I like their 'smart' software tho

[maiden wedge]

[weary mango]

Basically I’m in a google meet and cpu sitting at around 55 c I just gamed so then all the fans ramped up and the video output stopped

[mossy tendon]

not quite a question for this channel

[weary mango]

This the 4 it’s happened in less than 12 hr

Oh sorry

[sage trail]

this tells us literally nothing

[mossy tendon]

check all your connections, and dont play video games during school

[maiden wedge]

55c is fine

[weary mango]

It was during break

[maiden wedge]

ur hdmi or dp probably got disconnected?

[mossy tendon]

did I stutter?

no vidya gayms during school

[weary mango]

Then why did the fans ramp up?

[sage trail]

unplug the system from the wall, hit the power button, plug it back in, hit the power button

[weary mango]

Ok fine

[maiden wedge]

just check ur mobo ig

[weary mango]

Yep now it’s working

[maiden wedge]

ah

bruh

[sage trail]

cool

[mossy tendon]

anyways

sassy

you know any good 4k 120hz TVs?

preferably low latency

I just kinda want to set it up down here and game on it

when a friend is over or something maybe

[maiden wedge]

hm

[sage trail]

nope

i do know that not all "120hz" tvs are 120hz

so note that during your search

[mossy tendon]

yeah ik

[fleet spade]

you can look into the type of input the tv uses, just to make sure that you're getting the 4k120hz experience and not the 4k60hz but it's marketed at 120hz cuz it allows 1080p120hz experience

[mossy tendon]

noted

-_-

this one looks promising but its as much as a scalped 3090

[fleet spade]

how big do you want the tv?

[mossy tendon]

idk the size of my current one

lemme find a tape measure

brb

ideal size would be 56 inches

[fleet spade]

what's your budget?

[mossy tendon]

I dont want to sell my house to pay for the TV but I know its not going to be cheap, so

find what you can ig

[fleet spade]

i've found one so far that's 55 in https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-55-class-nanocell-85-series-led-4k-uhd-smart-webos-tv/6401879.p?skuId=6401879
