[near perch]

u make it that way

[river edge]

Not hard

I swear like a sailor in real life

[maiden wedge]

are you sure

[maiden wedge]

fun

[near perch]

ive caught myself a few times since my last kick, and i just joined this server today, sometimes i dont catch it until afterwards

[fading wyvern]

LGs oleds are sexy and really easy to use, purchased one for my mom but they are fairly pricey... I believe someone already posted the Cx

It’s the tv I highly recommend rip

Would anybody recommend this as a good monitor?

[near perch]

Not for the price

Oops wrong one

But look it up on rtings

[icy quest]

Need to connect my computer to 4 TV's simultaneously and wireless... suggestions? I'm looking at TESmart HDMI Splitter 1 in 4 Out, HDMI Splitter 4K @ 60Hz Supports HDCP 2.2 and CEC function, 4-way HDMI splitter

[river edge]

All 4 have the same display or something different on each one?

That will work but you'll get the same picture on all 4 TV's

[icy quest]

Same pic on all screens. Can I do it wireless?

[river edge]

hmmmmm

Miracast only allows 1 wireless display, let me check others

[icy quest]

FYI... it's the weight room at our high school so running wires is really gonna be rough.

[river edge]

Yeah, MIracast only lets you do one display. Checking on other options.

How many feet do you need to transmit?

[icy quest]

the room is around 30'x40' with 1 TV in each corner.

[river edge]

I found some things from EZ Cast that will work for 4 wireless displays. Base station is $300 and each dongle is $50. However, it uses the Miracast protocol which means streaming things like Netflix, etc, won't work but your own content will. It's spendy tho.

[icy quest]

THANK YOU!

[river edge]

YW

[finite leaf]

Display to hdmi adapter?

Is that a thing

[mossy tendon]

displayport to HDMI you mean?

yeah those exist

easy to find too

just look one up on amazon

[near perch]

Yeah you can get a cheap little adapter for a couple of bucks that plugs into the back of your computer or other things

[river edge]

$10 on amazon for a cable

[tropic musk]

Hello can you please help me

Anyone

[visual pilot]

yes

[tropic musk]

My specs is r9 280x and i7 3770
I havd a problem that every time my fps drop below 100 will feel so chobby more like 30 fps not 100

And its on every game i play not only a one specific game

[visual pilot]

Set up OSD with afterburner and rtss and check frametime chart
https://linustechtips.com/topic/977649-guide-how-to-setup-msi-afterburner-on-screen-display-using-rtss/

[tropic musk]

Ok let me try it out

[visual pilot]

I'm guessing it's frametime spikes from CPU being weak

We'll see

[tropic musk]

I still have the problem

[visual pilot]

@tropic musk that wasn't meant to solve the issue, that was meant to find the issue :p

So, how does the frametime charts look?

[tropic musk]

Let me check

[warped night]

So... I'd like to figure out a good replacement for my VG248QE.

Requirements: IPS, 1080p, G-Sync Compatible, At least 144hz.

I don't want the colors to be ass, but if a VA panel has as good colors compared to an IPS panel, then suggest it sure!

[dusty shale]

budget?

[warped night]

Not stupidly expensive (No 500 dollar monitors.) I'd like to stay below 250.

[dusty shale]

xg2405

[warped night]

Oh, and 24"

Uhh

Are you joking?

[dusty shale]

about?

[warped night]

That monitor.

https://prnt.sc/10dvmxj

I said NOT stupidly expensive

[dusty shale]

its 190

[warped night]

🤔

[river edge]

Listen, just listen and don't interrupt

We're gonna take you on a monitor journey you didn't know you could have

[warped night]

Oh, only on B&H

[river edge]

Cuz you don't know what you want

k?

[warped night]

Oh, and this thing is backordered til April

Jesus

[dusty shale]

24g2

[warped night]

It's a nice monitor for damn sure. But, being backordered that far is not really fun.

Well.... Maybe being backordered isn't a bad thing...

Because holy mother of why is the AOC 24G2 240 USD?

I used to see that thing for like, 160

How's the MSI Optix G241?

[dusty shale]

idk, i recommended you two monitors though.

[warped night]

It's the same price as the Viewsonic, but it's actually in-stock

Yes, you recommended me a monitor that seems to be constantly out of stock, and a monitor that used to cost half it's current price.

[tropic musk]

@visual pilot it is 93 gpu usage
63 cpu usage the temp is good 60 for both

[visual pilot]

What we're looking for is the frametime graph

[tropic musk]

Let me. See

Can i dm you because i cant send pictures here

[mossy tendon]

Dm it to me and I'll send it here

holy crap

large image

34 whole megs

what kinda camera is this?

16k, 21:9 or something?

[tropic musk]

What

[mossy tendon]

its a large image lol

34 megabytes

[tropic musk]

Ye

[mossy tendon]

what camera do you have?

[tropic musk]

My phone cam

[mossy tendon]

what phone I mean

[tropic musk]

Honor

[mossy tendon]

?

specific model name?

[tropic musk]

10 lite or smth not sure

[warped night]

34MB photos are miniscule compared to what my DLSR can chooch out.

[desert fable]

my friend needs a 1440 240. i have the g7 but told him to find something cheaper

[loud patrol]

should i get the xg2405?

$204

[dusty shale]

I would recommend it.

[loud patrol]

yea i rly like its features esp its body

[nocturne hull]

Acer Nitro 1440p 240hz is available for 679$, really the only option cheaper.

[nocturne hull]

I literally just ordered the G7 32 ... kinda like, did I make right choice ugh lol

Never had a curved screen so, was stuck on it or AW2721 or the Acer Nitro XV272U

Newegg's sale and promo coupon basically made the decision, is the ignorant faker edition but whatever. :/

[desert fable]

exactly why i got mine

ok thx

[nocturne hull]

You got it how your experience so far

I’m really amped but kinda sick to my stomach lol last time I ordered a asus vg27aq had dead pixels after 5 hrs of use was a nightmare then everything was out of stock

Took month to get a diff monitor heh

[nocturne hull]

Was also curious if this faker edition has the firmware updates if you have it or anyone else heh

[desert fable]

its been really good

i had flickering at first till i updated it

but after that its been perfect

only thing is that the curve is a bit much when to close or to far

but like 2 and a half feet to 3 is perfect

[nocturne hull]

Yeah I’ve heard it has to be in a sweet spot

My desk is one of the super deep 55 inch ikea linnmon so I should be golden not gonna try to use an vesa for now

[desert fable]

yeah im moving soon so i didnt wall mount

my desk is only like 30 inches deep

[nocturne hull]

My desk is too deep until you look at a monitor like that and go oh ok

Lol

IMO

[desert fable]

even with my desk it isnt that bad

[nocturne hull]

It’s really nice to have the space makes those large boutique mousepads look small

Cheap too 🙂

[desert fable]

lol i have one and it takes up like half my desk lol

[nocturne hull]

Yeah I was that way until I got this and I was like uuuh my 8008 looks tiny now

And my ducky mini is like wtf am I doing here tiny looking lol

You have any appreciable dark smearing etc really

[desert fable]

no not really

[nocturne hull]

Some reviews mentioned it but it honestly sounds like they have a setting or setup issue

[desert fable]

yeah

[nocturne hull]

Like monitor or gfx settings wrong

[desert fable]

have never noticed it

[nocturne hull]

It really should be like you can find it be nearly imperceptible at those speeds

[desert fable]

yep

[nocturne hull]

If you don’t mind what card you have driving it?

[desert fable]

3070

but im so glad i got this

i was going to get a 144hz then saw the g7 on sale so i got it

[nocturne hull]

Most def, got a 2080 s haven’t managed to get one of the unobtainium cards at this point I’m ready to skip to the next Gen

[nocturne hull]

Is funny was original plan to get 2080 ti but thought nah I’ll wait for 30’ and build another pc with a 3080, that didn’t pan out clearly 😛

Had couple chances to get 3070 but never model I wanted and kinda feels weird side grade to the 2080 s, epic card for price tho

[nocturne hull]

Lighting still rgb despite the t1 branding right

Likely off but eh

[desert fable]

yeah

[unreal portal]

What’s a good 1080p 144hz monitor

Which if these three should i get; i was looking at the pixio one but idk

[dusty shale]

xg2405 and the 24g2
but if it has to be of the above, then the vg24vq

[unreal portal]

ok

[unreal portal]

I mean I was tryna go budget

so ill go with the 24g2

[dusty shale]

the xg2405 is usually around $200ish

but stock is an issue with everything rn

[fallow bone]

Anyone have a good recommendation for a 1440p gaming monitor? (3060ti , 5600x, fps gaming oriented)

[rustic basin]

m27q

but if you want fps get 1080p

[fallow bone]

why 1080p?

just to have more fps?

[dusty shale]

yes

[fallow bone]

ill consider that thanks!

[misty gyro]

Frames win games

At least in FPS games

[fallow bone]

how much more fps would i get with 1080p vs 1440p (approx)?

[dusty shale]

varies too much by game, but for one example, RDR2 High gets 93FPS in 1440p, and 113fps in 1080p

look here for more information https://youtu.be/t9H2PfYDFok

[fallow bone]

true

thanks for the help

building my first pc ever so these might be really stupid questions

im currently deciding between the Gigabyte m27q and the viewsonic vx27582

[dusty shale]

VX2758-2KP-MHD?

thats a good one.

[fallow bone]

yeah so Ive heard

which one do you think is better?

The gigabyte is at 310 rn

[dusty shale]

i would go m27q

[rancid vessel]

Can I talk about monitors in here?

Just making sure I'm not in the wrong chat

[mossy tendon]

i mean

is a monitor a type of display?

[rancid vessel]

I would assume so

[lusty zodiac]

Hey there, I was looking into getting a 3 monitor setup, but I have no idea where to start. I mainly just want to use the other ones for idle things like discord, or twitch chat and so on. What should I get?

also if possible a Vesa/wall mount would be nice

[visual pilot]

Well, main monitor plus 2 other random monitors just for screen real estate, or do you have specific needs for the other monitors, for example, one monitor needs to be color accurate for editing work, another needs to be able to pivot for discord, another needs to be a certain size, etc?

@lusty zodiac and what GPU do you have?

[lusty zodiac]

1060

[visual pilot]

Hm, gonna have to be all 1080p panels then

[lusty zodiac]

Well no not really, mainly just for screen real estate as you said. I would definintely like a pivotable monitor, but that is just preferece. If you couldnt find one I wouldnt be mad if you understand.

[visual pilot]

Fair, and do you already have a main monitor?

[lusty zodiac]

I do

[visual pilot]

Also, how much space do you have on your desk? Since if you could fit them all fine, there's no need to spend like an extra hundred dollars on a triple monitor mount

[lusty zodiac]

I think I could fit them all fine, im looking at it now, if you would like I can give you specific measurements?

[visual pilot]

Well, I wouldn't be sure of the measurements on how each monitor would sit, so if possible, can you just eyeball it and see if you'd be able to fit another two 24in monitors on?

[lusty zodiac]

sure thing, I'll brb

[river edge]

I measured my monitors. 3x24" monitors would take up roughly 5 and a half feet of width

60+ inches

[lusty zodiac]

Yes, but it would certainly be tight. The edges of it would just barely be sticking off the edge of the desk, but im sure with a bit of work I could make it fit

[visual pilot]

If you're fine with refurbished, this should work,
https://www.newegg.com/dell-p2414h-23-8-full-hd/p/N82E16824260733
If looks aren't a concern, this
https://www.newegg.com/samsung-s22e450d-21-5-full-hd/p/N82E16824022315

Decent in-between option also for consideration,
https://www.newegg.com/black-acer-kg221q-abmix-um-wx1aa-a01-22/p/N82E16824011365

[lusty zodiac]

I looked around and found this, would this be a viable option?
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/NKsnTW/asus-tuf-gaming-vg24vq-236-1920x1080-144-hz-monitor-90lm0570-b011b0

[visual pilot]

@river edge well, that'd also depend on how each monitor's stands are width wise

(On the monitors fitting on the desk, since I assume the issue would be having the stands all fit, not just having either room on each side of the desk)

@lusty zodiac it's practically twice the price of every option I listed, and I didn't go for 144hz since second monitors don't usually have any use for higher refresh rates, but if you want to, you could

[lusty zodiac]

I wouldnt want to spend too much on something im not going to use

[lusty zodiac]

Yeah good thing i asked 😅

ill take a look at the ones you send

Tyvm! I'll have to look a little bit closer, but I think thats gonna be the one! I appreciate it!

[visual pilot]

:)

[regal rover]

so like i have friend on a tight budget hes got less the 75 dollars to spend on a monitor

any sugestion?

[river edge]

Good Will

Not joking either

[regal rover]

not help full

[river edge]

What you mean?

[misty gyro]

Yeah there's some decent sized monitors at my local goodwill furniture store

[river edge]

They often have nice stuff for cheap

[regal rover]

i know

[misty gyro]

You won't find new at that price, at least not anything bigger than a laptop screen at 720p

[regal rover]

k

[river edge]

https://www.newegg.com/viewsonic-vx2252mh-21-5-full-hd/p/0JC-0015-007S9?Item=9SIAAJ2DXR9420&Description=monitor&cm_re=monitor-_-9SIAAJ2DXR9420-_-Product

[misty gyro]

22 inch refurbished, sounds about right

[river edge]

best I found at that price point

[maiden wedge]

Is there a good curved monitor at a decent price

[fading wyvern]

What kinda budget are we talking about

[maiden wedge]

100-200

[fading wyvern]

Maybe 200s for a decent 1080p display but you won’t have many choices

I take that back looks like there’s plenty of options at 170-200$

[warped night]

Why do you specifically need a Curved display?

[maiden wedge]

Gaming

[warped night]

...

At 24" you will see literally no difference between a curved display and a flat display.

You'd have to jump to something like a Odyssey G7 or G9 before a curvature to the display makes any appreciable difference.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pXMTwP/msi-optix-g241-238-1920x1080-144-hz-monitor-optix-g241 Just buy this.

Excellent 1080p Gaming monitor, has basically all the bells and whistles you could need.

[maiden wedge]

thanks

[warped night]

1080p, 144hz, Freesync with G-Sync compatibility, and good colors because IPS

Sadly there's no HDMI 2.1, but that's a relatively new feature.

[fading wyvern]

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Gaming-Curved-Monitor-VG24VQE/dp/B08K2DSMJV/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=1080p+curved+monitor&qid=1615214881&refinements=p_36%3A1253506011&rnid=386442011&s=electronics&sr=1-9 heres ur curved option pretty much

[warped night]

Is it even IPS?

[fading wyvern]

Nah

[warped night]

Is it at least VA?

Ok, it's at least a VA panel.

It wouldn't be utterly terrible I guess.

[fading wyvern]

Yup just under 200$ though so it’s pushing the budget

[near perch]

the asus tuf is a good line

i got the vg27aq and i love it

[turbid kayak]

what would be nice 144hz monitors that arent curved

[wary wave]

my recommendation @turbid kayak is the m27q

though its 1440p 165hz, if you want 1080p then theres the g27q

wait hol up

no

[turbid kayak]

1080p is fine as long as its like 1ms

i just dont know which to get since theres just so many lol

[wary wave]

g27f is the 1080p 144hz. g27q is 1440p 144hz

[turbid kayak]

okay ill check both out

do u have anything like close to 200

or under

[visual pilot]

@turbid kayak msi g241 at 190$

[turbid kayak]

okay

[loud patrol]

damn

the g241 here is at 255

xg2405 is the cheapest 144hz 24" monitor

with the exception of tn panels

[dusty shale]

the xg2405 is a great monitor

[spring sequoia]

Ok this is weird

I have seen an influx of acer predator xb3 monitors on the used market recently selling for 400-500$

Great 4k 144hz monitors especially for the money

But strange.... all mostly console players (hah)

[dim sequoia]

How can I hook up both monitors to my pc? Only has on hdmi port.

[steel ridge]

Your GPU only has one connection?

[dim sequoia]

Yes in the back

[warped night]

Is your PC a laptop? Most computers have more than just 1 Display Output...

[dim sequoia]

But I seen it has display ports so i guess i use them

Only has one hdmi port

[steel ridge]

Oh then just get an adapter?

[warped night]

DisplayPort > HDMI for most PC related things.

[dim sequoia]

That's what I thought. Thank you

I'll have to get the adapter cause the monitor I have only has hdmi

[warped night]

Until HDMI 2.1 becomes ubiquitous, DisplayPort is still king

[dim sequoia]

Sounds good thanks again

[candid salmon]

Thinking of getting the Samsung Odyssey G5 34 inch for my new main monitor and kinda wanna go from my vertical/landscape setup to a stacked setup. Would it make sense to have a curved monitor on top of the G5 or should I just use a flat monitor

[dusty shale]

thats personal preference, but it would probably look better if they were both curved. make sure it has the same curvature so they dont misalign.

[candid salmon]

For sure, thank you for the response

[candid salmon]

I’m so indecisive lol

ISO Monitor with:
144Hz
1080p or 1440p Doesn’t Matter
Curved
Ultrawide Preferably
Minimal Ghosting/Blur

willing to hear out any price range, i’m just not the best when it comes to hunting for displays

[mossy tendon]

why do you need ultrawide first

[candid salmon]

I suppose it’s not the most necessary, it kind of goes with the aesthetic I want and id love to experience gaming on one

I’m willing to look at other options as well, trying to keep an open mind

[fading wyvern]

So I'm not exactly sure what your setup is suppose to look like but i gotta say, playing on a nice ultra wide is pretty great. I get the opportunity to mess around with my brothers setup and his 34GN850-B from LG... if this is purely for gaming id say go for a ultrawide as long as you can run it.

[candid salmon]

this is essentially what i want to move towards

[mossy tendon]

ultrawides are good for very few games

please note that

youd be better off with a curved monitor and two flat monitors next to it with another same-size curved monitor atop

[fading wyvern]

strong disagree

great for immersion

[mossy tendon]

FPS games suffer

most dont support ultrawide, thats why

if you want immersion, go 3D mode in SteamVR

[fading wyvern]

which games we talking.

[misty gyro]

I'd love that setup for something like project cars though

[fading wyvern]

most of the major fps games support ultrawides

[mossy tendon]

Ultrawides are good for car games and thats it

[fading wyvern]

OOF never playe don a ultrawide before D:

[mossy tendon]

hm?

[misty gyro]

Or flight sim

[mossy tendon]

flight sim good for VR

[misty gyro]

I can't do VR, I have no depth perception

[mossy tendon]

unluck

[candid salmon]

I play a vast selection of games mostly within FPS genre

[mossy tendon]

such a great experience ruined

because no perception of far and near

[misty gyro]

Right. My left eye is nearsighted and my right is farsighted. I get a lot of headaches...

[fading wyvern]

every single time ive playing doom or cod on tht ultrawide ive had a great time js...

[fading wyvern]

Don’t have any other pics as proof other then this one lmao

[candid salmon]

a friend of mine has one as well and he really likes it

[fading wyvern]

older titles might not have the best support for it i guess? but ive had a excellent experience

[candid salmon]

looking forward to changing it up a bit i currently have the ASUS TUF VG24VQ and its solid but im not a huge fan of the ELMB on my eyes

[misty gyro]

Games are getting better at doing weird resolutions without too much stretching, but older games expect 16:9 or maybe 18:9, not 36:9 like an ultrawide

[fading wyvern]

ah tarkov would be a problem child with tht monitor tbh

would throw off the ads pretty hard

[nocturne hull]

i went through 4 vg27aq's with dead pixels or subpixels before i gave up :/

[dusty shale]

32:9 is super ultra wide.

[candid salmon]

Yeah it wasn’t everything but was cracked up to be imo, but can’t complain too much with its price I suppose

I ended up deciding on the Acer Predator XB273, really looking forward to the “butter smooth” experience for a considerably good price

[fleet spade]

what 1080p monitor should I buy in the ~$200 range? I was thinking of buying the g241 but I don't know of others that might compare to it or have better features

[dusty shale]

xg2405 or 24g2

[fleet spade]

ight thx

[echo pier]

Hey is there anyway I can get a 120 or 144hz monitor for less than $180?

[mossy tendon]

maybe - big maybe - a small, low quality 1080p one

[fleet spade]

not 1440p but some 1080p144hz monitors are at that price range

[mossy tendon]

also note that 120hz and 144hz panels cost the same to make and are usually the same price

[fleet spade]

what sara said

[wary wave]

pretty sure pixio has quite a few monitors under or at $200 with 144hz displays with either va or ips panels but you lose out on a lot of other features

they also seems to be having a sale rn

[vocal frigate]

Is it worth the extra $300 to get a 240hz 1440p over 240hz 1080p?

[river edge]

240hz 1440p?

Just go 165

[vocal frigate]

My situation is, I have 2x 240hz 1080p monitors, and I'm wondering if it's worth it to get a 1440p 240hz.

I love having 240hz its incredibly smooth, I honestly don't know how much better 1440p looks than 1080p

[mossy tendon]

a lot better imo

[fading wyvern]

looks great feels great

[mossy tendon]

consumes significantly more processing power tho

[river edge]

You need some serious GPU HP to push 240HZ at 1440p

[vocal frigate]

Lol especially 3 240hz

That's what 3090s are for lol. And why I have one

Thx for feedback!

[hollow gust]

@river edge what gpu would you need?

[dusty shale]

3080/3090

[hollow gust]

Strix 3070 wouldn’t do?

[river edge]

1440p 240hz?

maybe esports titles

Def not with everything turned up. Mine runs 165hz panel at 1440p and it does decent

With the pretties on

[mossy tendon]

I only play ultra settings, except in Cyberpunk

[wary wave]

in cp i still have everything ultra

maybe not rtx all the way cranked up but at least on med if i want to take some pics

[quartz sandal]

`no need to flex :/

[mossy tendon]

not a flex

just saying

[quartz sandal]

def a flex 😢

[mossy tendon]

even if I'm only getting 30 FPS I play ultra

the one exception is Cyberpunk because I get 30 FPS on all medium settings

[quartz sandal]

i play esports games so i could never

[mossy tendon]

I do too

but at ultra settings

[misty gyro]

Cyberpunk is just one big exception tbh
It was even released on an exception waiver, promising to fix all the console crashes that they didn't fix

[quartz sandal]

eww no unplayable

[fleet spade]

it's because everyone rushed the release smh

[misty gyro]

No they delayed the release by 2 years and still couldn't put out a finished, working product

[fleet spade]

exactly bruh

i'd rather wait more and have a working game than wait less and have a poo game with glitches

[misty gyro]

It was too ambitious for that studio, they just couldn't make the deadlines and were bleeding green

[fleet spade]

[maiden wedge]

whats a good 144hz monitor for 160 or under?

[misty gyro]

Odyssey is one of the best lines of monitor, that's a good sale for a 1440p@165

[jade ether]

I just got a 240hz LG Ultragear monitor, and im wondering what I should do to set it up? Should I use the G-Sync/Freesync option, or have it off? Should I have the response time on fast, or faster? ETC.

[misty gyro]

G-Sync on, in game vsync off. Response time is one thing you'll just have to play around with and see if it makes a difference for you.
Make sure your resolution and refresh rate is selected correctly. A lot of the time it'll default to 60Hz.

[jade ether]

Ok thx!

Freesync works with nvidia right?

[rustic basin]

response should be fast, otherwise there’s anti-ghosting

[jade ether]

I saw that on ltt

[rustic basin]

nvidias’ caled g-sync

[jade ether]

but does the Freesync work with nvidia?

[rustic basin]

no

thats for amd

[jade ether]

because it says gsync on my monitor but in the options its called freesync

[rustic basin]

oh then just turn that on

its fine

[jade ether]

so maybe its just compatible

[misty gyro]

Freesync will work on nvidia, you just have to check the box in nvidia control panel

[jade ether]

k

Thx boys!!

[misty gyro]

Even if it's not "officially" supported

@leaden zodiac ask in here

[leaden zodiac]

anyone have a good recommendation for a good monitor?

[fading wyvern]

any type of budget?

+what are you going to be doing with it

[leaden zodiac]

200$

[dusty shale]

what are you using the monitor for? if gaming the xg2405 or the 24g2 are good options.

[leaden zodiac]

streaming and gaming

[dusty shale]

then those above should be good.

[errant gate]

I need helping switching my background when I switch it it shows it for a second and goes back to my old background

Right click desktop, refresh
If that doesn't work, restart

why is A-B cheaper than B?

just $100 more for that extra HDMI port?

[spring sequoia]

The specs look almost exactly the same

I am pretty sure that display might have rgb so maybe that?

[misty gyro]

Different stands

That's where the RGB is

I think 🤔

[warm ginkgo]

just checked amazon
B has QHD Nano IPS, while A-B is QHD IPS

is Nano worth it?

what is nano's function?

hmmm, good point

aight thanks man. Believe it or not, this was very informative and very useful to me.

[lapis panther]

anybody know of a good computer switcher that works for two monitors and not just one?

Most kvm switches should work with multiple monitors

maybe I'm just looking in the wrong dang place then, because the only ones I can seem to find specify they're for a singular monitor 😅

[nocturne hull]

Check this out on @Newegg: TESmart KVM Switch 4 Port DisplayPort 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 Ultra HD | DP KVM Switch with Extra USB 2.0 Port Supports Auto Scan&IR Remote Control Includes 2 pcs of 1.5 m KVM Cables-Matte Black

https://www.newegg.com/p/1DJ-00RG-00079?Item=9SIAJRPC929962&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIAJRPC929962-_-03142021

I’ve seen cheaper options but yeah and there’s also hdmi ones

My question is how common is it to rotate displays through rma with high end gaming monitors to find a good one with no issues

[river edge]

I think they want to switch dual monitors, that only does one output

[river edge]

Not common

[nocturne hull]

It allows switching to the different displays

[vocal frigate]

Is it worth the extra $100 to get the 32 inch odyssey g7 over the 27in

[nocturne hull]

I just rma’d a 32 and have another one coming

Next to my 27 inch ips yeah definitely with the curve would feel small IMO

[vocal frigate]

So, get the 27 or the 32?

[nocturne hull]

And as well really enjoyed the extra size and didn’t have issues with ppi if cost is no issue the 32

[river edge]

Right but they need to output to 2 displays, not one

[vocal frigate]

Gotcha, thx!

Is the odyssey g7 series a good way to go for 240hz 1440p?

[nocturne hull]

Mine had scan line issues and a dead subpixel it was like the substrate was misaligned

Only other options are realistically 27 inch ips or the g9. To me getting another 27 ips felt like a side grade compared to getting 32 inches for 700$ the other 240 are 769$ for the Alienware the acer is 680 so yeah

If you can enjoy the curve it sits in a spot alone basically

There is also the gigabyte fi27q-x another 27 inch ips releasing tomorrow that’s a 240hz for 699$

[vocal frigate]

Yea I was looking at Alienware, but seems kinda overpriced

[nocturne hull]

It’s a g sync ultimate one so that is meh

To me the extra size and contrast ratio seems a better improvement

For the g7

[vocal frigate]

I heard that the odyssey series is like THE best, since Samsung makes all the panels already

On Newegg they are having a $100 off on the Faker edition 27in, and $100 off the 32in

Which looks REALLY good

[nocturne hull]

Yeah it’s really really curved

So be aware once you get used to it looking at a flat screen they look convex at first

Like they are fat in the middle

[vocal frigate]

I have two 1080p 240hz 27in msi monitors rn

[nocturne hull]

It’s as fast as those with much better color and contrast

[vocal frigate]

So I was thinking of just going with 27in to keep it symmetrical

Yea! I really want a monitor above 1080p lol

[nocturne hull]

32 1440p is comparable to a 24 1080p

[vocal frigate]

So, for my setup with the other two, do u think 27 or 32 in

[nocturne hull]

If you have those to either side of yo neck gonna hurt

I’m mounting my 27 above the 32

To me if I wanted 27 inches I don’t think the curve would be worth it and I’d rather go for the new gigabyte 240hz

It feels like the 27 is there for a price carrot but if your already spending that much for a 27 a flat one is likely the better choice

[warm osprey]

guys im ashamed to ask this question but Gigabyte M27Q 27" is an kvm monitor is it okay to use it as a normal monitor

i mean for 1 pc

[visual pilot]

Why not

It works fine with single pc

Kvm is just a feature

[warm osprey]

👍

is color quality & respond time of m27q good

i mean tearing

[loud patrol]

M27q poggers

Just get it if ur system can handle 1440p 144+fps on the games you play

M27q pog monitor

[unreal portal]

There is also Samsung one

Lemme find it hold up

SAMSUNG G5 Odyssey C27G55T 27" WQHD 2560 x 1440 (2K) 1 ms (MPRT) 144 Hz HDMI

[visual pilot]

No

Get M27q

[unreal portal]

This one is curved tho

So if you want it curved ig

[visual pilot]

Curved ain't nothin compared to M27q's superior panel

Not just that slightly higher refresh rate

Really nice response time

0 overshoot

[unreal portal]

Oh

[visual pilot]

Better color

10 bit iirc

[dusty shale]

8bit+FRC according to rting

[visual pilot]

Might be, all I remember is that rtings counted it as 10 bit

And ofc pre-calibration color accuracy is godly on m27q

[unreal portal]

Nice

I wouldn’t be able to find the time to calibrate my colors

[dusty shale]

it usually only takes 10 minutes if you have the right tools

[visual pilot]

They count 8 bit with dithering as 10 bit as long as it looks nice

@dusty shale tools too hard

Expensive iirc

[dusty shale]

^ yeah, usually 150+

[unreal portal]

Wow

150 just to calibrate your monitor

Thats a a goddamn cpu

[visual pilot]

Anyways M27q pre calibration color accuracy op

[unreal portal]

People who spend 2000 on a pc and then forget monitor price

[mossy tendon]

kekw

[unreal portal]

Not sure if this is smart, but I choose my monitor first and then find the parts that will use it to its full potential

[dusty shale]

i would recommend doing it the other way

[unreal portal]

Hm

[vocal frigate]

What's better, 27in or 32in samsung odyssey g7

[dusty shale]

27" because of pixel density, otherwise they are the exact same

[warped night]

Yeah, if you are getting a G7, just get the 27" one. The pixel density will be better.

[exotic rain]

What monitpr should I get?LCD OR LED

[mossy tendon]

you mean LED

[exotic rain]

@mossy tendon yes i do

Which one tho

[visual pilot]

isn't that mainly a TV thing? thought majority of panels are lcd

[dusty shale]

LEDs are more energy efficient than LCD panels, but you should buy based off of model not one specific part.

[exotic rain]

Mhmh

Which 144hz+ 1080p monitor do you reccomend (For Gaming)

[dusty shale]

xg2405 or 24g2

[mossy tendon]

what GPU first

[exotic rain]

RTX 2060 Ultra

K.O (idk)

2060 i guess

Mhmh

@mossy tendon

[mossy tendon]

oh I dont know a good monitor lol

was just asking because it may be more worth it to get a 1440p monitor

[exotic rain]

oh ok

if I watch a 4k yt video in a 1080p monitor will it show the diference?

[mossy tendon]

no

will just show 1080p

[exotic rain]

dam

[visual pilot]

@exotic rain MSI G241

190$ on wegg

[exotic rain]

I'm wondering which one is better between xg2405, 24g2 and MSI G241

@visual pilot

[visual pilot]

G241 is ips

Nice color

24g2 is va iirc, it's just cheap

Dunno about xg2405

[exotic rain]

mhmhm ok

so its between

MSI G241 and xg2405

[dusty shale]

24g2 is IPS

https://us.aoc.com/en/gaming-monitors/24-g2

[visual pilot]

Why does it think I'm in belgium and why can't I scroll down on the list...

Oh well

Might've been thinking of 24g1, lemme see

Ah 24g2 is ips

[exotic rain]

soooooooooooo

[dusty shale]

i would say xg2405

[visual pilot]

I still say g241, all about the same

[exotic rain]

mhmhmh

[slow bronze]

best monitor under $300?

24 inches

[dusty shale]

i would recommend the xg2405 or the 24g2
some others might recommend the G241 @slow bronze

[halcyon marlin]

Hello, I am looking for advice, I ordered a ASUS TUF Gaming VG289Q1A from Newegg and they sent me a ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL1A The monitor I originally ordered is out of stock. ......I do some gaming, but I usually just use it for work as a SysAdmin, I do some photo and video editing. ......I hate dither, it gives me a headache. .....Thoughts? What monitor should I get?

[open arch]

L1A ? that is a large one ?

or a small one

or one with lower standards?

[visual pilot]

@halcyon marlin Well, VG27AQL1A isn't too bad, is there any issues you have with it? I assume you're going to return it for a new one, and the budget would be the refund you'd get?

[sterile crane]

is it worth it to upgrade a 8 month old 21.5 1080p 75hz monitor to a 27 inch 144hz 1080p monitor rn?

[dusty shale]

if playing games that want a high refresh panel it is worth it, but i would recommend 24" with 1080p

[sterile crane]

i got agood deal on a curved ips 27 inch monitor so yeah i think that will be a helper

[dusty shale]

what panel and price?

[sterile crane]

Ips just under 200 bucks

while the 24 inch ones here cost 10 euros less

by panel i mean model

oh

idk lol

forgot

😂

[nocturne hull]

So... 2 panels now I can see the bottom edge of my ask bar at the top edge of my screen

Just a sliver....

And it's inverted, pink is green, etc.

[dusty shale]

try reseating your cables, and try swapping to different cables or ports

it seems quite cheap but pretty good

[nocturne hull]

That's about what I'd expect for a VA 1440p price wise.

So yeah, not a bad deal. For about 300-330$ you can get an IPS screen, VA runs a little bit below that.

[fickle fulcrum]

So I'm running a 5950X and a 3090, both overclocked, anyone got some good 1440p or 4k display recommendations?

i mean hook it up to like an 8k 120hz tv and that should be good for it ig

Yeah, I dont have $2000 to spend on a tv

I'd rather just use the type of monitors I posted

[dusty shale]

what is your budget? and what features do you want in the monitor?

[fickle fulcrum]

No budget. I just want a color accurate low latency gaming monitor. Preferable for a good duo monitor setup.

[dusty shale]

the 27gn950 or 27gp950 when it releases, and i would recommend the Samsung G7 for 1440

Odyssey G7 is basically the king of 1440p monitors right now.

And it fits in your original 700 dollar budget

[dusk basin]

odyssey g9

[warped night]

Odyssey G9 is a LOT more expensive, and is also Ultrawide

[dusk basin]

is a pretty cheap monitor

[warped night]

Ultrawide gets into funky stuff like some games just not supporting Ultrawide

[dusk basin]

yeah better of off with double g7

[rustic jetty]

Could

[dusty shale]

have you heard of the 27gn950?

[fickle fulcrum]

I'm fully aware, I just want something comfortable on the eyes, so not a TV and I really liked the 27gp950 suggestion

[dusty shale]

as they are saying if you get a cheaper panel it wont perform as well as the more expensive ones, but that is true for everything. If you cant jump to the $800 price tag for the 27gn950, that is a solid substitute. check out reviews to see if any of the bad portions of the monitor would bother you.

[dusty shale]

The LG 32UL750-W is the only panel i found that fits into your criteria, i am unable to find reviews so this panel could be amazing, or absolutely terrible. My "actually HDR" critera was HDR 600

[rustic jetty]

I thought it was a solid choice even though its not the best panel. I just can't push out any more cash because my wife might kill me LOL

[rustic jetty]

just bought a 6900 XT sooo you could imagine i've almost died already

[elder fulcrum]

any 27in monitor under $100?

[dusty shale]

im unable to find any.

[fleet spade]

sum generic 1080p60/75 monitor tbh

[elder fulcrum]

yea thats what i was thinking, i just came to check if there was any deals on somethin

[warped night]

Why would you want a 27" 1080p?

[slate hamlet]

Thanks, 400+ is fine I should've clarified I will look into this

There's only one video on it

[dusty shale]

I thought it was supposed to be less than $600?

[slate hamlet]

Bruh imma have to wait for microLED or something

400+ nits, as long as it's 400 sustained peak it can be considered hdr

It seems like there's nothing good enough less than $1000 though...

[dusty shale]

if you want a real HDR experience the entry level is HDR 600, HDR 400 is just marketing.

[slate hamlet]

Hdr stinky

[warped night]

400 nits peak brightness is basically nothing.

HDR1000 is the best experience.

[slate hamlet]

Well no duh

Do you have $2000+ to throw around for a dang screen

[warped night]

No, but there are cheaper TVs with HDR1000

[slate hamlet]

I think I saw one for about $600

But I don't want a dang tv, that's just annoying

hi can i get a tech assistant here

Im not recommending them

just saying that they exist and are all right

but are overpriced

@visual pilot help 😅

[gritty harbor]

Im looking to get a 2k monitor, do i NEED to get a beefier gpu, or can i run games at lower quality until i have the $50,000 to afford a card that can run 2k? (yes, im being hyperbolic with that price lol)

[dusty shale]

What GPU do you have now?

[gritty harbor]

RX 580. Specifically, Powercolor Red Dragon

[dusty shale]

It won’t do high refresh 1440p but it should get 60

[gritty harbor]

My real question tho, is if im able to drop to 1080 in a graphically demanding game so i dont overwork my card. Im sure i could get 2k in minecraft lol but i dont think id be able to hit 60 frames in fps games without overheating. Sorry to be a bother lol i just wanna make sure i understand

[dusty shale]

Your card won’t overheat no matter what workload you put it under if it has proper airflow. You will be able to drop the res if you want to, and FPS games should get around 60 FPS in 1440p.

[gritty harbor]

Awesome. I appreciate your help. Sorry for the n00bie questions 🎉 👍

[warped night]

Also 1440p =/= 2K

[mossy tendon]

How so?

@warped night

[warped night]

2K implies 2x res of 1080

[mossy tendon]

Powercolor usually has decent airflow on their cards

[mossy tendon]

No it doesn’t?

[river edge]

Technically 2K is 2048 x 1080

[mossy tendon]

Huh

[warped night]

Yes, it does.

[mossy tendon]

Everyone I’ve ever talked to says 2K in the 1440p context

It even says it on a decent few 1440p monitors I’ve seen

[warped night]

4k is 4 x 1080p

You can fit 4 1080p displays in 1 4k display

You cannot fit 2 1080p displays in a 1440p display

[mossy tendon]

Noted for future reference

Aciū labai

[visual pilot]

Just

Bad terms

[dusty shale]

Okay

[misty gyro]

2560x1440 (WQHD, 1440p) is often called 2k, but 2k ALSO refers to the official cinema resolution of 2048x1080, so everyone here is right lol

On this point: 1920x1080=2,073,600 pixels, while 2560x1440=3,686,400 pixels, so 1440p is approximately 1.77 times a 1080p panel

ya'll think this a good monitor??

[spring sequoia]

@grim yew well for the price new it is mighty fine

But make sure to check used at a price range like that

[grim yew]

thank u ❤️

[spark sail]

Sceptre is okay, bought one a few years back, that worked well, then one day had a dead pixel, a few days after suddenly it wouldn't turn on

if you look at reviews though there are a few that even new report getting a dead pixel out of box

Me, I cannot wait til Tuesday for this https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012012?Item=N82E16824012012 to arrive

[nimble patrol]

Whats a good budget monitor i can use to check discord and twitch chats?

Like under 80

[misty gyro]

Check local thrift stores like Goodwill, you can find a decent size 1080p for about $50 usually

[fleet spade]

yee

any monitor will do ngl

[tribal egret]

anyone know any 1440p 200hz monitors that arent over 700 bucks

[nova cloud]

M27q is 170hz and 330 at best buy

[dusty shale]

@tribal egret odyssey g7

m27q is probably a better option though

[fleet spade]

g7 is barely less than 700 bucks lmao

i'd lose 70hz if it means i save 400 monis

[visual pilot]

@tribal egret FI27Q-X is exactly 700$, if you really need that extra refresh rate over the M27q, otherwise the M27q makes much more sense.

[tribal egret]

ok thanks

@nova cloud

[nova cloud]

Yw

[grim yew]

anyone got recommendations for a good budget monitor like under 100

[misty gyro]

Not really anything new under $100 worth getting. You'll have to look for used.

[nocturne hull]

I just thought I'd say, I've got my 3rd G7 coming, because I can't imagine using something different, but two of the 32 inch from Newegg now have had some issues. Ordered from somewhere else now, hoping to get a good unit, I've seen enough good reviews and positive ones around to know they exist but uuh yeah mileage may vary.

First one was accepted by newegg and second will be otw back tomorrow.

It had water from condensation inside screen when it arrived due to being stored too cold, it has evaporated. Top of screen is chopped off using Nvidia software because there is bright green bars on both of them that looks like overscan lines. This one will not even begin the blurbusters UFO test. Creates an error on the website.

Really frustrated, but hopefully I have better luck with a diff retailer.

They're faker editions, so really would like another but I don't trust Newegg to replace it with a working unit at this point

At least they've been timely with my RMA process really, so no complaints there.

[ocean scarab]

I got a Samsung LC27R500FHMXUE ($150), a few of the cons are: its got a 1080p panel, its 60hz. But on the "positive" its got AMD Freesync. I checked on Newegg but I couldn't find it.

[hardy idol]

4k 144hz or 240 hz 1440p

if 240 hz

oddessy g7

or acer predator XB273K

[loud patrol]

prolly the g7

[hardy idol]

kk thx

[hardy idol]

should i get the 32 inch or the 27 inch]

i was thinking 27 but im not sure

[loud patrol]

depends on u but personally i'll get the 27" coz i'll expect it to be crisp but depends on ur preference

[visual pilot]

@hardy idol take a look at the FI27Q-X too

1440p240hz like g7, except it's IPS instead of VA

[hardy idol]

ooh thx

is it 1000r?

[visual pilot]

No, link here
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012032

Side note, why the hell does it have ANC, it's a monitor damn it

[hardy idol]

ikr

so random

[visual pilot]

Putting a KVM switch on a M27q kind of makes sense, but ANC....

[hardy idol]

YO GUYS SO FOR OUR NEW RELEASE WE HAVE A MONITOR THAT HAS ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION!!!

[visual pilot]

I guess they just like stuffing features in monitors

[hardy idol]

yeh

[slate hamlet]

I've seen it before

[visual pilot]

Oh well, it's a niche nice to have

[slate hamlet]

$700 wawa weewa

Looks like a good all rounder if those claims are true though

[visual pilot]

It's very good in testing iirc

[slate hamlet]

Will wait for a hardware unboxed video

[visual pilot]

Lemme check reviews again

[hardy idol]

i think ill go with g7

im not really looking for veiwing angles

[slate hamlet]

If you don't mind the wacky curve it's a good one

[hardy idol]

the g7?

[slate hamlet]

Yeah I'm gonna wait for a hardware unboxed video for that one, they do the absolute best testing

[hardy idol]

ive heard good things about the g9 and g7

all i want is immersion

[slate hamlet]

1000R curve is so harsh looking at it straight on can still see some warping

[visual pilot]

https://hexus.net/tech/reviews/monitors/147402-aorus-fi27q-x/

[hardy idol]

so if i have a high refresh rate

and i cant see the pixels

less strain on eyes

[visual pilot]

Hexus isn't someone I usually see for reviews, but I believe they're trustworthy enough.

[hardy idol]

it think its good

[visual pilot]

I thought there was a rtings review on it already, not yet.

[slate hamlet]

1440p 240hz... Nvidia 4000 series gonna be necessary to get the most out of that

See you in 2023

[visual pilot]

Or 3080

[hardy idol]

what about a 3080?

[hardy idol]

\ok nice lmao

nviida 4000 series announcment

[visual pilot]

Nah man nothing will ever get cp2077 to run 240fps 1440p, the game will just limit itself for you

[hardy idol]

rtx 4070: faster then the rtx 3090 ti

[hardy idol]

and it has 1 fan

and 30 gb of vram

[slate hamlet]

Even a 3080 won't be able to get 240 on max settings 1440p games

[warped basalt]

It depends which game

[visual pilot]

Ofc a 240hz monitor isn't for playing max quality aaa games lol

[slate hamlet]

Esports titles it'll be great

[visual pilot]

And yes nothing we have right now bar maybe 3090 sli will do triple a games max settings 240fps at 1440p

[hardy idol]

what is more intensive 144hz 4k or 240 hz 1440p

[warped basalt]

4k

[slate hamlet]

I think you mean NVlink

[hardy idol]

ok

[visual pilot]

I believe 3090 has 2 way sli on top of nvlink capabilities

[hardy idol]

imagine 4 way sli 3090

if it was possible

[visual pilot]

No connector will carry that much bandwidth :p

[loud patrol]

volta - pascal - turing - ampere - "ada lovelace"

woah

[hardy idol]

yeh

but the possiblilties are endless

[visual pilot]

3090

[slate hamlet]

Sli is stinky NVlink is the good one

[visual pilot]

Wot

Sli is the one that can run some games

[slate hamlet]

Sli gives a max of 40% of secondary gpu

NVlink pools them together directly

[visual pilot]

Nvlink might have to do wack things like mosaic

For games

Nvlink is far better for compute

[slate hamlet]

Idk I mostly see people do NVlink for production

[hardy idol]

isnt there like 4 way nv link quadro rtx 8000 or smth or im stupid

[visual pilot]

But I believe the latency is too high for gaming, and sli has enough bandwidth to share more of the data at lower latencies to be useful in games

[hardy idol]

what the hell does anc mean on the AORUS FI27Q

does it magically give ur headphones anc

[slate hamlet]

I assume that means it has little microphones and the whole setup that let you plug in headphones and do it

Personally .. don't care

[hardy idol]

yeh

but its intresting

[visual pilot]

Who knows really

To be actually effective anc should have microphones next to where the audio is being played

[slate hamlet]

I predict there will eventually be an ANC dac/amp

[visual pilot]

Y tho

[slate hamlet]

That'd be kinda cool tho

[visual pilot]

It'd be interesting

[lone night]

I need help. I have been trying to solve this for 3 days.
Ryzen 5600 Processor
ASRock 4500 HDV MB (I updated driver)
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti on GP107-A GPU (I updated driver)
16GB RAM

Here is the error message I get when it crashed:

When Minecraft is open the entire screen will go blank (but game play goes on!) every 90 seconds are so. The screen goes blank for about 1.5 seconds.

when I use GeoForce to screen record the glitches they don't show.
The temp is at 84 degrees F

I put it together. Updated the driver on the mb and the Graphics Card. But the screen flashes are making playing anything - Really hard

[muted cosmos]

I was looking at a gaming monitor with 1440p 144hz and a good response time does anyone have any recommendations?

[fading wyvern]

M27q is the go to

[nova cloud]

G27q or M27q

[visual pilot]

M27q

[sage trail]

M27q

[visual pilot]

Better color accuracy better response time no overshoot etc

[nova cloud]

I just bought M27q

[visual pilot]

Nice

[nova cloud]

Getting here tomorrow

[sage trail]

i told a friend to get M27q

it pog

[nova cloud]

I wish I could of gotten it when it was on sale for like 300

[sage trail]

he still hasnt built his new pc tho

he got all da parts n everything lol

[visual pilot]

I told statik to get M27q, statik no get :(

[sage trail]

sadge

[nova cloud]

I built my pc the same day all the parts came lol

[muted cosmos]

I was looking at the M27q. It is out of my budget by just a bit but I definitely will get it. Thank you everyone

[visual pilot]

How much is your budget? The M27q pricing frequently drops to 320$

[muted cosmos]

My budget was 250$-300$ so it was between the G27q or the M27q

Since I got a 3080 I will probably get more out of the M27Q

[sage trail]

yep

[visual pilot]

Yee

[sage trail]

m27q is 329 rn

[muted cosmos]

Yep buying two right now

[sage trail]

eh

just get one

then get a similar 27" 1440p60

[visual pilot]

Just as a note, dual main monitors can cause some neck strain if they're placed together, since you have to turn your neck to see either monitor

[sage trail]

meaning you want one head on, and your secondary off to the side

[visual pilot]

Yea

[sage trail]

@muted cosmos

this important

[visual pilot]

So your neck isn't always turned

[muted cosmos]

okay thank you

[sage trail]

https://www.newegg.com/black-acer-ka272u-biipx-um-hx2aa-004-27/p/N82E16824011372

heres your secondary

[muted cosmos]

I know it is a small thing but if I get the M27Q i also want a secondary gigabyte monitor. Make me picky but

[sage trail]

yeah but u wont notice

well, you could get the G27q as a secondary lol

save a couple bux

[muted cosmos]

Honestly what I was looking at

[sage trail]

considering theyre identical aside from the actual panel

[muted cosmos]

yea I know its picky this is just my like dream setup so I feel more picky with it

[sage trail]

thats fine

[visual pilot]

There's a open box G27q for 270$ on wegg if you want to test luck

[sage trail]

for usability tho, i think the best secondarys are large 1080p 1200p (technically) 16:10 displays

[visual pilot]

Why tho

[sage trail]

easy to drive

cheap

[visual pilot]

I think 1080p swivel monitors as good secondary monitors

[sage trail]

tall

[visual pilot]

Swivel = op for discord

[sage trail]

picked this up for $20

[visual pilot]

Nice

Goodwill?

[sage trail]

cant beat that

helll yee

[visual pilot]

Ya

[sage trail]

its honestly my fav monitor ever

[visual pilot]

Why?

[sage trail]

because my y25-25 will be replaced eventually by a better display

but this secondary i will use forever

[visual pilot]

y25-25..?

[sage trail]

until i can no longer repair it

[visual pilot]

Acer naming being bad or

[sage trail]

yeah, its my 240hz monitor

[visual pilot]

Fair

[sage trail]

lenovo naming being bad

[visual pilot]

I wish other companies name monitors like MSI and Gigabyte

M27q G27q
G271 272CQR

Some numbers some letters

Not xisjcisibic73838583

[sage saffron]

whats a good display to go with for a beginner gamer/sneaker botter???

[fading wyvern]

What kinda gpu and budget are we working with?

[sage saffron]

3060 twin edge OC

[fading wyvern]

Probably want a 1080p monitor for clicking heads. I know somebody has suggested the MSI Optix G241 before it’s 144hz 1ms and fairly cheap

[loud patrol]

g241 is reccomended by mr1111

coz when he shows it it's only like, $170 (here it's $225 vat-inclusive )

[dusty shale]

i recommend the xg2405 or 24g2

but the three are similar

[hardy idol]

yes like there should be like the model series not random numbers and letters

like P24

instead of XSJU478329483729

[fading wyvern]

My XG270QG is a very memorable name with tons of meanings makes total sense

[still pier]

I really wanna know who names monitors
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a more basic and simple name from a marketing standpoint?

[maiden wedge]

Anyone got a good 144hz monitor under 150$

[grim yew]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089T73ZB9/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

you guys think this is a good monitor???

[summer obsidian]

hey I don't know how monitor curvature is rated, is 1500R on a 24 inch monitor a lot?

[dusty shale]

it depends on you, and where you sit in relation to your monitor. https://www.viewsonic.com/library/entertainment/monitor-curvature-explained/

[summer obsidian]
