so 270 is lie ?
how to have this setting do you have a monitor or g sync laptop maybe ???
No it's variance. 10% is within tolerance for most computer parts. The only accurate way to measure the display is with an external sensor in a pitch black room.
You'd have to have a display capable of HDR (High Dynamic Range)
are you using monitor ?
Yes, I have a HDR monitor
oh laptop has no hdr technology only monitors ???
Certain laptop models would have it, usually higher end stuff
like Alienware R4 15
It's mostly a gimmicky feature for most people but it does affect brightness, that's the only reason I brought it up
Why does brightness matter to you on the laptop..?
I spent $300, it's the Gigabyte G27QC 1440p 165Hz
because system says 270 nits and lenovo says 300 nits i want my 30 nits too man :/
i paid 1200 usd to this laptop i don't want anything missing inside 😦
It really doesn't matter anyway tbh
Yea it doesn't really matter
1-2 fps maybe ?
I'll take @misty gyro 's panel for example, RTings testing:
your laptop 287 nits ?
and for SDR:
sorry monitor
what
what testing program is this ?
this isn't a program, RTings spends thousands upon thousands of dollars on testing equipment to measure things
They do the testing the right way, with external sensors in a blacked out room
oh it is a tool rating i see
Software will not accurately measure it
More than a new laptop probably
Well
RTings uses a "Colorimetry Research CR-100 Colorimeter" for measuring brightness, which seems to be priced around 5000$
wow more than an alienware laptop price
Professional grade hardware is expensive because they need it to be highly accurate
yep
only people with 3 kidneys can buy that i guess :/
its not meant for consumers, its meant for professional environments
Or businesses whose job it is to measure these things
yea
Those someone nows the the panel name for the MSI Optix G27C4 Optix 27" for replacement please 🙏
Not an easily found part number and it's a curved screen so even harder to find. I wasn't able to locate anything. If it's cracked, I don't think there's anything to be done about it.
What's the problem exactly? Maybe it can be fixed without parts.
Sorry, looks like the only option is to claim insurance if you opted for it.
As I have kids and my monitor is in a common area, I always get insurance 😓
I asked this before but is it possible to buy a 4K 144hz TV (around 50 inches?) for less than a grand USD?
120hz works too if it’s cheaper
And I don’t mean ‘4K 60hz but it also does 1080p 144hz’ I mean 4K full 144hz
just get 50 inch monitor
That’s... not under a grand lmao
If it’s not possible then just tell me
What about a large 1440p 144hz monitor?
lmao didnt notice that part
Do those exist?
yeah, i dont think they make tvs over 120hz
so thats like the max lol
just noticed that, but at 600 it seems kinda cheep
I’ve seen than one before
do it have bad reviews or smthn
Maybe it’s a manufacturing technique?
idk, that seems to check all your boxes
it do be LG
Seems fine
maybe lynus has sumthin 2 say about it
According to reviews, it’s just hard to use but works fine
And there are some unnecessary ‘features’ that everyone turns off immediately
Color quality around black pixels is lacking a bit as well
can ya really complain for 600 tho, thats the question
i dont actually know much abt the tv market
is 600 a good price for that? idfk
It’s a steal
its literally the cheapest on best buy lol
Also HBO MAX is incredibly annoying to make a new account on
TVs usually top out at 120 and often it's fake 120 anyway
yee, but this one supports fake 240hz 
But is that fake 240 actually an AI smoothed 60?
I suppose I could find out myself lol
Ah it's a smoothed 120, I approve
One dead pixel, return?
Its near the bottom left on this UW
In this area for perspective
They won't accept a return for a single pixel. It's usually 8 that's the rma threshold.
I have 15 days for return to my local store
If they take open box returns you can roll the dice and get another if you want
It's a refurbished model, the last one
I'd keep it personally, a single pixel isn't that distracting to me, especially being where it is since that's usually where a HUD is in game.
Of course, I also come from a family where my mom has had the same TV with a line of dead pixels right in the middle of the screen on a 720p model from 2009 so I might be biased.
Explain?
How is smoothed better than native?
Smoothed is not better than native. It's using an algorithm to guess what the frames between the frames would look like.
With a PC attached it's best to go with native refresh.
If you're playing back high refresh video, you can safely use the fake higher refresh setting since latency doesn't matter.
I was saying that if it was a native 60Hz that was smoothed to 240Hz that would be really bad, but it's 120Hz so not as bad as some I've seen.
Yeah, closer to $600. Not bad at all for 4k 120/240 50"
If you try to play with the 240Hz mode on you'll get noticeable latency and possibly ghosting and/or tearing. 120Hz is native and should be OK.
You can always set a game to 1080p and hit the 120 fps easy
Depends on view distance mostly, but yeah
Between 5 and 7 feet would be optimal for 4k, 7 to 10 feet for 1080p on a 50 inch screen.
I have a single green pixel on my secondary monitor
Only the red is dead? Dang that panel has issues with subpixels then
Out of curiosity how old is the monitor? I have a really old 900p monitor as my second display that works great but then I keep hearing about people who have all these dead pixels on monitors
How is this monitor
for the price
i'm currently using a 144hz tn led panel
and
And the colors are noticeably worse than my 10 year old second monitor
TN tends to have pretty bad colors and the Asus is IPS so it should probably be a lot better
Yes
Too good...
Read it all carefully, something must be missing
Well it is 1080p
I was gonna say, $300 for 1080p is too low?
$300 for ips hdr 400 280hz is kinda low
Actually, it seems that monitor is that price pretty much anywhere
Good RTINGS too. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-gaming-vg258qm
The penultimate 1080p monitor then
That rtings is for the 25 inch model but I'm assuming it carries over?
Yea, I just googled the model number and checked it on ASUS' site
I think it's 25" with bezels 24.5" screen but I could be wrong
I just did the model number
Hi! Does anyone know if you can connect a 2020 MacBook Pro to two individual monitors to extend the desktop? They are older monitors and use displayport cables. Does anyone know if this is doable or will I likely need to upgrade my monitors? Thank you!
do the monitors only support displayport?
if not, then Belkin makes a dock https://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F4U110/ that should solve it for you
Yes I believe so. That and VGA and DVI
adapters might be the simplest solution then
but have a look at what belkin offers, they are generally solid
Alright great. Thank you, I’ll check them out
you are very welcome, and best of luck
Anyone have experience getting nvidia surround set up?
Yo. I’m looking to pick up a new monitor narrowed it down to the Alienware aw2521 or the asus vg259qm anyone have any thoughts. I only play comp. shooters
Well between those 2 it’s really down to price imo.
And if you prefer the aesthetics of the Alienware, typically they make super distinctive products
Any other suggestions for comp shooters
Those are pretty much the top of the line, if you have the extra budget and the gpu power moving up to a 1440p panel could also be fun.
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/motion/motion-blur-and-response-time check out this list
There's only one showing up? Looks good though but out of stock
Wasn't out of stock when i was looking lol thats how fast it went
Did you check the specs?
Yes
Okay so sky tech is better. Any cons to the parts difference?
no just out of the two you picked that specific sky tech one but yeah, the msi has a 9th gen processor, whereas the sky tech has a ryzen 5 5600x which is newer and has better single core perf
What do you mean by i picked that specific sky tech? Are there better ones currently?
What's the cheapest 2k nvidia reflex monitor?
you have... 3 choices
2 of them are not even released
one of them I can't find a price for
I think 360hz is probably worthless with the current panels
Even with my 3080 I don't get 360 fps a lot
Basically dell has a better response time
I'd have to look more into it
looking to use it as my second screen
will the fact that the M27Q is free sync affect anything?
nice
360hz is literally only worth it if you play real competitive gaming for money, but i think most esports pros would rather 1440p 240hz tbh
no like
so its a proof of concept, mostly
I physically do not think 360hz is doing anything with current panel tech
wdym
yknow how you could have a 144hz monitor but if it's response time is above 4ms it's worthless
same thing
if the gray to gray transition can't keep up it makes no difference
Nyet
more like 7ms
and even then, you probably wouldnt notice the ghosting of 8-10ms
LG needs to hurry up and release the 27GP950 before I have an aneurysm from using a 1080p 60 Hz monitor on a 3090
dear god yes youw ould
nope
on a 144hz panel, the pixels have 7ms to change color as a worst case scenario
i would assume it takes the longest to go from like black to white, but im not totally sure
im thinking about it
yeah they look fantastic
i mean sure the dell has signifcantly better latency but...
rtings actually gives the color performance score to the 27q
The problem with the m27q is that its bigger than my other monitor
1440p at 24inch isn't happening
pain
that would be some killer pixel density though
4k 24"
apparently the dell has superior colors overall, after calibration, but much worse without
and since no normal human being really does professional calibration...
After calibration can be safely ignored lol
Professional calibration is crazy
maybe not professional\
Like the color sensor rtings uses costs around 5 grand
I find that stuff hilarious honestly
like legitimately hilarious
"color critical work"
I find it interesting
Lol
"we absolutely must achieve perfect color accuracy!"
so that no one can enjoy it.. we don't have good monitors my dude
ok so then the ultimate difference between the dell and the m27q is this
the dell has better gaming performance, dp 1.4 instead of 1.2, and 2 more usb ports, but it needs calibrating
the m27q is absolutely fine out the box, but not adjustable
yeah the dell has a much better stand
oh no
I honestly might still want the dell...
not the stand
I crave the ms
some spare ms m'lord
by the time I have a good enough gpu to power it there will probably be another 1440p gaming king anyway though

did you really
yes
3080
as in my name
yes i know i could do 4k but i dont need that, i got the 3080 for da frames
I cannot read

m27q also has virtually no inverse ghosting
it would probably make more sense overall for me to get an m27q and just, a good vesa stand
is there such thing as a vesa STAND, like, just a better stand not a mount
I don't really have a good setup for a mount
its not a terrible stand to begin with
unless its just too big for your desk or sumthn
idk it's probably fine
I don't like that my desk has a tapered edge to the back of it, makes the monitors have to lean against the wall almost
@quartz sandal its not out of stock anymore. Hehe i bought it.
Well i mean now its out of stock to everyone else
nice idk why this in displays tho lol
yeah or build chat tbh
Okay.
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824475047?Item=N82E16824475047
This is the monitor I have.
More intact than this one I have😂
My laptop doesn't have a functioning screen anymore... so I'm running it hooked to a monitor.
best in which regard
jeez I feel like I've been answering the same question over and over
probably get an m27q
gsync compatible 1440 -- nice
almost everything is gsync compatible at this point
Tbh we should just pin "M27q"
had I the ability..
have a automatic response to any post saying "check the pins"
lol
now that im looking at it, the m27q would've been a better pick for me and cheaper but eh color accuracy isn't 100% my needs
Anyone got any monitor recommendations? 1440 or 4k. Want to do ultra wide.
so 3440 x 1440 is what you're looking for
looks good, idk if its a bit dimm tho
ok
mb just watch a review on it
hey do most monitors have flicker protect and blue screen protect
askin for my epilepsy
oo
all monitors you can simply put on a blue light filter
but no clue about the flicker thing
ooo it has it
"ASUS Eye Care technology with TUV Rheinland Certification for Flicker-free and Low Blue Light technology to minimize eye fatigue and ensure a comfortable viewing experience"
Would you suggest LED or IPS for games like assassins creed/overwatch?
err VA / TN
not LED
Ips is usually nice in general
Just putting this thing out there, doesn't seem like too bad of a deal https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-x24ih-23-8-ips-led-fhd-freesync-premium-monitor-displayport-hdmi-black/6426783.p?
I have seen a lot about the Samsung G7 odyssey 32" and before I buy it wanted to know if anyone here has one or has any feedback about it?
any good gaming monitors between 200 and 300 dollars
No problem
@slate hamlet just installed my monitor
the m27q
this thing is humongous compared to my 24 inch
i can see everything

Nice
I want to buy a new monitor sometime in the near future (1440p, IPS?) but I'm not really sure how that's work with my current setup:
I'd like to still be able to use both of these current monitors and have access to the CRT for gaming without needing to mess with cables (moving an arm would be fine).
Any recommendations? I've never done anything with monitor mounting/arms, but I bet it'd give me a lot more freedom (would love to have that smaller one vertical once I get around to buying a new one)
y e s
I collect retro consoles and it's really nice for them mainly.
it also is the only display connected to my server machine, to display the console in case I manage to break ssh again
I suggest you simply don't
I'm pretty sure you can change the scaling method of a monitor which will accomplish it fine
The CRT is non-negotiable.

I propose a compromise. The CRT can be behind a monitor in the final setup, and it can be revealed by moving an arm somehow.
uh, yeah that's possible I guess
do you really need an additional monitor though
do you have the graphics output necessary for that
RTX 3060Ti
I dunno. I def want to try getting the smaller one to be vertical (its stand is terrible and doesn't support that) as I'm told it's nice for programming.
And when gaming I've been disappointed by 1080p on the larger one, esp when I know I can drive QHD fine.
so sounds like you need 2 replacements rather than 1 new one
or well, if you're fine with 1 1440p with a good stand
in which case the m27q meets your criteria, but would need a vesa stand
I am p o o r . That GPU ruined me.
m27q gonna be your best bet then
oof it's as much as my GPU was.
you won't get all those features for much cheaper
400€ + whatever exorbitant shipping in baguette
true ig
I bought all my stuff for less than half price, or got it for free and repaired
smart
The VG245 (larger monitor in pic) was 65€ used on a local market
bruhhhhh
The CRT was a trade from a friend for one of my server machines I wasn't using. The server was built from many PC parts I had salvaged from other's dead PCs.
And the other smaller monitor I think was free from someone in the US back when I lived there and getting stuff wasn't insanely expensive no matter what.
be on the lookout for a used m27q or dell s2721dgf then I guess
the dell will need calibration though, consider yourself warned
Should I buy a monitor calibration tool? My colors always feel off when I manually calibrate.
Even now, these two monitors don't look to me like they match, but they do to my phone camera.
Thanks, I'll be looking out for those two. Bit of a pain how people listing them on local markets often don't know to put the model number in the listing 😂
Idk, those are expensive
Look at the hardware unboxed video, there are other options
What about a stand for these two (and maybe three if I end up using all three)? Does any VESA stand work (looking at max weight and what ways it can turn, for the vertical monitor), or should I look out for specific things?
Thanks for the help btw :)
There are 3 monitor stands, I'm not familiar with them
I'm no expert, I don't vesa mount myself
The channel hardware unboxed does detailed breakdowns of each monitor
They will go into response times and colors
Rtings good too
are westinghouse monitors good for light gaming and workstation?
Which one exactly? 
Check this out on @Newegg: Westinghouse WM27PX9019 27" Full HD 1920 x 1080 144Hz HDMI VGA DisplayPort AMD FreeSync Technology Flicker-Free Edgeless Design Eye Care Technology Widescreen Backlit LED Gaming Monitor https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824569006?Item=N82E16824569006&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-24-569-006-_-04112021
I dont do heavy gaming so I don’t really care for freesync or gsync
Looks like a below average overall monitor from what I'm seeing
Not bad, but not good either. If you're not super picky about color accuracy and other features it'll work.
Okay thanks
Ah I was showing off some random hp 144hz 1080p monitor a while ago, believe it or not it had some pretty great response times tested by rtings. Let me check if it’s still on sale, was a ips also.
This guy is 10$ cheaper and pretty well reviewed on rtings
It's also a 24 inch, the one they linked is 27
Ah didn’t even realize. Well better pixel density
Yeah personally I wouldn't do 1080p on anything higher than 24 inches.
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/hp/x24ih that hp I just linked is pretty good again lol
Like look at it 👀
Im most likely going for the 24" one instead. Im gonna look more into it though, just need something that works
Whats your guys opinion on the Samsung g7 odyssey 32"?
Seems like it's pretty good for what it is
Alr sweet thank you I wanna see what ppl think before I buy it cuz its rly expensive lol
1440p, 240hz, but 32"
stinky dpi
but if you use it more like a TV I guess that's fine
va panel
actually, $800 for that seems kinda insane
@river edge is this allowed or filter bypass?
huh
Dodging the filter a little bit
Hey is $227 for this Asus VG259QR monitor a good deal? I'm looking for a 25-25" monitor and just saw this one.
https://www.newegg.com/black-asus-tuf-gaming-vg259qr-24-5/p/N82E16824281099?item=N82E16824281099
its a good monitor for sure
Do you have a different recommendation for a 24-25" IPS monitor?
not the right person to ask about monitors tbh
That's fair, figured I'd ask. Like ik some of the basics of monitors but there's a lot idk so that's why I'm trying to source advice
Looks like a good deal to me, and the response time on that thing is phenomenal at 4ms
Are there any 1440p 240hz moniters that are at least 32" besides the Samsung g7 or any that are better than it?
why do you want it so big...... None others under those conditions...
FI27q-x is a great panel for 27in though.
I only want it that big because I have a 32" right now and I feel like after using it for so long it might feel weird downscaling
im looking for a $200 monitor. does anyone have any suggestions?
MSI G241 should be 190$
usd?
does it support gsync
freesync = g-sync compatible 99% of the time
All the time now iirc
weird things always happen so I say 99% in case there's some exception
Fair lol
Older freesync monitors without display port aren't compatible but otherwise yes
anyone know why m 1080p monitor is blurry, i have gtx 750m macbook
I'd ask in #mac-os-and-ios , changing the color settings will likely help (color format specifically) but I don't know how to do that on a mac
Would you believe I saw somebody leave a nasty review on the MSI G241 saying a 24-inch 1080p monitor is trash in 2021? Considering the GPU crisis, some people may not have the cards to drive a better monitor.
I think the implication is 1080p should just go away in that nut's mind.
entirely depends on screen size and what youre doing with it
1080p will eventually be phased out like 720p I'm sure

Aww
I understand
I definitely don't take my stuff for granted, for me I went from a gt 730 to a 1660ti
Before that I had something even worse
I found a used ASUS S27D850 27'' for 120€ + 20€ shipping, but the person says they probably can't ship (they're too far to drive to) because they no longer have the original box. Would it be worth trying to convince them to ship with a different box? Seems like a really good price for this monitor.
can someone help me to understand why this does this and if i can fix it
wat
no it’s for any game
NVidia Control Panel
oh my god i had it at 60hz and it’s a 170 this whole time smh i thought i changed it
i mean it still does it but omg
wait i can run 1440 p rust with a 2060 super??
well, 30fps, maybe
rn i’m getting 110
depends on in-game settings ofc
and also, did they add hdrp into main branch of rust yet?
yea i do play pretty low bc i see ppl better on lower settings but i do not think so
fair
is the tuf gaming 3070 a good one?
Yea
i rly wanted the strix white but its so overpriced
Oh well, as long as you got a card, it's nice
yea im happy even tho i could have pretty much got a 3090 if i spent a bit more if things were msrp
what is a good freestanding triple monitor stand?
i love the aesthetic of the tuf line
the tuf cards i think are pretty up to par
and they look beefy
for example u got 24 inch 1080p and 27 inch, will the 27 be blurry cus its bigger

27 inch 1080p blurry unless you're really far away
Is this a good 1440p 165hz Gaming monitor?? https://www.centrecom.com.au/gigabyte-g27qc-27-qhd-165hz-1ms-hdr-freesync-g-sync-gaming-monitor?gclid=Cj0KCQjwpdqDBhCSARIsAEUJ0hOlBfxwxkgjV79RLqZyW7we3IXxD5fS2clgxo6h-cIPcHksXCvpcPIaAtDYEALw_wcB
It’s alright people tend to dislike VA panels and prefer IPS because of its color accuracy. Also the display is curved; kinda weird. It’s a solid choice tho
is there a cheap 144 hz
Depends on what you call cheap
below 120
lol
i found one for 80 but the package got delivered to the wrong place
lol
Eh, some have been 110-130 on sales
the other day this dude was asking what type of pc would get him good frames in among us
lol
any good 1080p montiors under 200. preferably gsync and 165 hz
Freesync is cheaper and Gsync compatible. Gsync makes monitors more expensive, FYI
so 1080p 165 hz monitor under 200
Aoc asus and acer i believe have good ones under 200
this one any good
which one is better for nvidia cards
g241 or 42
ok so im gonna do g242
cool thanks for your help!
I mean if you're too cheap to pay for it some of those Android emulators are awfully optimized lol
A potato would doo fine tbh
just get a $100 laptop from walmart
lol
ikr
This is the answer to everything and anything. Hardware limitation? Nah bro just run Linux and work around it.
if i have a chrome os laptop i can run linux
Yes, Linux will literally run on a toaster
Sometimes I think for toying around I should set up a virtual machine with Linux.
Sure, what harm could that do? It's a great way to learn Linux too, use snapshots before you do major changes so even if it gets borked you can roll back.
You could always dual boot as well
Comparing these 2 which is better? ASUS - TUF Gaming VG32VQ or Dell - S3220DGF
Or the GIGABYTE G34WQC Ultrawide?
@steel garden Well, what's the reason for the size?
I would say G34WQC out of them because ultrawide means it's 3440x1440 and has actually good pixel density
and being a better panel in general over vg32vq, it trades blows with s3220dgf in various different tests
Mostly Gaming. Never had an ultra wide but all 3 prices are comparable
The dell is actually the cheapest
What privacy screen is compatible with a Samsung UN32N5300AF monitor?
Dang, I didn't realize those privacy screens were so expensive, the ones I see for that size (31.5") are $100+
Really? dang I figured they were cheap but oof
Yeah even a little 18.5" laptop screen is $60
G34WQC still my suggestion
Thank you. I think its time for my 1st ultrawide
Bruh my pc was working fine 2 hours ago I come back and it doesn’t have signal to any monitor I hook it up to wtf
Turn off, flip power switch, hold power button 60 seconds, turn on computer
Anyone know of any 240hz 32" 1440p moniters? I know the amasung g7 but are there any other u guys know of?
Yea I returned the one dead pixel ultrawide, now looking at a Gigabyte g34wqc
Potentially abled to get my uncle to get a employee reimbursement so the cost will go down to either $475-550 from $620 CAN
Hopefully its a great monitor, seen many reviews on it
Does anyone know if the LG 27UL500 works with windows? As far as i can tell its apple only but just want to double check
Someone said its not OS dependant
Should work fine with Windows, OS doesn't matter for monitors. It's the video card that determines compatibility.
Its a radeon monitor, i think the laptop has intel integrated graphics
its my dads laptop id have to check
If the video card has the right ports (hdmi or displayport) it works
Cool thanks
What do u guys think about the LG32GN5OT
I'm at Costco rn and its 209$ so I wanted to see what u guys think before I buy it?
1080p at 32"???
Oh wait its 1080p? 😂 nvm lol
Yeah I wouldn't get that unless you're sitting a few feet back from the monitor, pixel density will be awful
Is the Msi G242 a decent monitor? I've been looking around at 144hz ips monitors at that size and from what I can tell it looks like a pretty good monitor for the price.
From what I've seen yes, G242 is good
Thanks👍
Yea hardware unboxed recently reccomended it if it was better priced than the his recomendation. Since they had the same panel he just hadn't personally tested the msi one
I was just wondering if other people knew things, I feel way in over my head on monitor stuff
That mean it has a solid seal of approval from you?😂 Because I 100% do not know what srgb and dcrp are
G242 is also adaptive sync isn't it?
Yes
Yea
Ooh the 1-3 week shipping time is a bit rough for me. Might look and see if another retailer has it for 180 and what their shipping time are
So I am have been looking for a 32", 1440p moniter that has a high refresh rate, preferably at least 165 or 170hz, any recommendations?
Best buy and adorama have some good ones
I think I'll probably just stick with the msi. It keeps me closer to my budget not that it was a very rigid one
time to go order a super long displayport cable now lol
I have the MSI G241. I'm finding it to be quite a nice monitor.
Alright that helps validate the G242 I just bought
Anyone know of a good brand for Displayport cables? the brand I get most of my other cables from only does hdmi
Honestly there shouldn't be any difference between brands, only the versions matter like DP 1.2. Cheap cables have no detectable difference from $100 cables usually.
I know the 3060 I bought is overkill for the monitor, but I kind of picked the monitor back in the days when I was just gonna get a 1660 Super.
is it worth it running 1440p with a 3060 ti?
Yea I wasn't planning on spending $100 was just looking for a brand that wasn't known for being bad for the 10ft one I need
Reminds me I'll need a displayport cable since this monitor didn't come with one, just HDMI.
Yeah just not sure if its worth it buying a 1440p 144hz monitor when i can run cold war at just around max settings, and i have to turn them down a bit when i stream at 1080p 165hz
alr
I know the 3060 is probably capable of doing 1440p... too bad I bought my 1080p monitor last year.
Yeah i did
DLSS works well enough for lower resolutions, it can render 720p and upscale to 1080p
You probably don't want to do that though
It's still gonna look good and I'm gonna have the best FPS I've ever had.
What you probably want to enable for single player games is DSR, so it renders in a higher resolution and displays at the monitor resolution
"Competitive" titles leave it off
So I have a 3080, r9 3900X, 32gb ram, would getting a 240hz moniter rly be that much of a benefit compared to a 165 or 170hz moniter?
It depends. Some people can't really tell the difference between the higher refresh rates. (me being one)
Also, getting that high refresh rate really limits your options. If you want 1440p your only choice is Odyssey G7.
What's DSR?
Dynamic Super Resolution
It lets the game render in a higher resolution (like 1440p or 4k) and then scales it down to monitor resolution
Makes things look much smoother, edges look sharper
Would it be worth to get the g7 u think compared to a different one thats like 170hz or smthn?
Personally, no. I'm not super picky. I'd go for something like the Gigabyte M27Q.
Often on sale for around $300, vs the G7 that's usually like $700-800
Unless you play competitive esports titles you don't need that high refresh anyway
Aight bet ill prob go with a different one cuz im like 15 and 800$ for a moniter is like all my money anyway 😂
vg27aq
has ips panel, 165hz, 1440p and 400-420$
response time is like 5ms i think
i own it and i love it
its not the greatest at color accuracy but thats okay
@neon gyro
Gigabyte M27q
Pixel response time listed is always wack
1ms mprt g2g whatever they want to call it
in reality, something like 15ms
at worse a "1ms" monitor can have a 40ms pixel response time
I found the 5ms or so on rtings
11.5ms total response time on rtings
with some overshoot
Still not terrible for ips
Its a shame though it only has dp 1.2
So i cant do 10 bit color @ 165hz
I mean, the monitor is 8 bit anyways
and I compare all 1440p144hz+ monitors with M27q so... :p
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m27q
anyways
vg27aq decent monitor, I find M27q just to be better bang for the buck and better performance in general
Time for my daily advertisement for M27q, 330$
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JWCHR5N
Sorry I had a game lol thank yall for the recommendations but do u know if they make any in a 32"?
What do you guys think about the asus strix XG32VC? I am thinking about pulling the trigger and getting as I found it on Amazon rn for $500? Do you guys think its a good moniter or are there others I can get that are same specs for better?
doo you particularly want it to be bigger
the dell s2721dgf hits all those boxes at 27" for about $450-470
the m27q hits all those boxes at 27" for about $330
id like a 32" moniter to be honest
are you really far away?
cuz rn i have a 32" and it would feel weird to downsize lol
It seems to be fine overall, response time seems great. If you want to spend the money for a larger screen go for it
would you guys prefer the Asus rog strix XG32VC, Auros FI32Q, or the LG 32Gp83B?
and uw wack
I’m a lg fanboy so don’t ask me
i would really want one yea xD
HOW FAR AWAY ARE YOU
pretty sure the rest of those listed monitors are 16:9 so pixel density kinda sad
honestly like 5 inches lol
but uw monitor is nice pixel density
what is uw lol
ultrawide
o i see ok
it's 3440x1440p 21:9
good for movies lol
so it's got more pixels for being more stretched
:P
instead of being stretched but with the same amount of pixels
Ultrawides are nice to use
either asus XG32Vc, auros FI32Q, or LG32GN650, which do I get and why?
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/gigabyte-34-led-ultrawide-wqhd-freesync-monitor-with-hdr-hdmi-displayport-black/6437138.p
This because it's ultrawide, more pixels, better pixel density
if the 3 are the only options, don't have good reviews on any of them, but LG 32GN650-B got a decent review
when in doubt, watch hardware unboxed
bof
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/32gn650-b
This is a lot nicer to read than this >:P
https://www.techspot.com/review/1845-lg-32gk650f/
The LG 32GN650-B is a good overall monitor from LG's UltraGear lineup and the upgraded successor to the LG 32GK650F-B. It has a 32 inch 1440p screen that provide...
like this is so nice, being able to click on a value and see score distribution, and some other monitors that perform similarly >:P
rtings superiority
Though rtings kinda bad for peripheral reviews
im using it for gaming only pretty much, u guys think lg or asus?
what
back up to this
its too big xD cuz i have to share desk space with my dad lol
WHAT
why not m27q
it's better than all the other options if you have limited space
just such a nice monitor
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012018
basically beats every other option in pixel response time, overshoot, color accuracy, price, pixel density, and color gamut
needs to be 32" lol
it does NOT need to be 32"
you're making it actively worse for yourself by doing so
He doesn’t wanna downsize tho
No point forcing it lmao
That or go for the LG LG FAN BOYS RISE UP
:(
🤷♂️
normal 27in 1440p is 108ppi, 32in 1440p is 91ppi, uw 1440p is 109ppi
2560x1440 for 27in and 32in, 3440x1440 for 34in uw
whats the differnce between the m32q and like the FI32Q or smthn?
basically same thing but cheaper
i would have gotten the FI32Q but i legit cant find it anywhere
can u guys find the FI32Q anywhere to buy lol
it's 750$ somewhere and that's not a good price so I'm not going to link it
like M27q is 330$ damn it
you can have 2 M27q's for that price
and if it supports freesync when i have like a 3080... would the freesync mess anything up or what would happen?
like in general i was just wondering
if a moniter has freesync what would happen
if i had a nvidia gpu
freesync = g-sync compatible in every monitor I know
because it's basically the same tech
vrr
oh ok thank you guys also for helping me with all this lol
In order for them to say "gsync compatible" they need to get validated by Nvidia and meet certain minimum performance standards. Mostly only the cheapest/older stuff doesn't pass, though.
Or unless the monitor is only hdmi and vga like my friend's, no g-sync over hdmi on free-sync monitors.
I mean before I just ordered my new monitor yesterday, my second monitor was a 20" 900p monitor
Whats a good 144hz monitor for a 3070 that doesn't break the bank
m27q
Doesn't matter and res you can pick
budget
250
bout to say
msi optic
used to have g27 it was nice
tn panel tho, very bad color recreation
Yea I just bought a G242 for my 3070 yesterday.
Also if B&H still has it the shipping was faster than amazon for me, but could easily vary between locations
Personally I stuck with 1080p since I didn't have the space for 1440p and figured a 3070 will be able to do 1080p for much longer than it will 1440p. Even if it can do 1440p now since I don't plan to upgrade for another 4-5 years probably.
well by then you can do 4k I guess

still can't believe 4k 120hz phone is a thing, that exists
I feel like thats a huge waste of battery too, sine its a lot more power consumption on a device thats already limited by battery size
it's the sony xperia whatever iirc
so I think they're honestly just selling it as a viewfinder for their already uber expensive professional cameras
can someone help me with formating my new hard drive it not showing up for me
Please
This is #old-monitors-and-tv
@leaden zodiac yes
nvm i fixed it
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=40778 a new 1080p contendor
Proving sheer speed doesn't have to come at the expense of color performance, the new Dark Matter™ 27" Gaming Monitor features next-generation "ultrafast&q
27inches tho
🤷♂️ ppi is a little more important imo, plus 1440p at that size is only a tiny bit more... gigabyte 
Nah but hdr 400 is basically minimum and diminishing returns at 240hz to a point we’re not many people would notice the diff between 165 and 240
Idk just my opinion
that's not... how that works
that's entirely dependent on your particular monitor's hdr implementation, icc profiles, srgb clamp etc
Oh
Maybe it's just me being weird but I honestly found my old monitor to be way too bright and hurt my eyes to look at so I always kept the brightness at like 50%
1080p at 27"?
kinda rough, even considering 1080p at 24" already has its issues
distance being the factor
yeah, but pixel density still bad
much easier to 24" 1080p than to figure out how to push your monitor farther away from your face
although tbh i wouldnt mind having a desk that deep
also HDR400 poggers, its not super impressive, but its a nice touch
not worth paying 5 extra dollars for tho lol
Yea I mean I sit 3 feet away from my monitors personally and I don't mind it.
Would it be worth to upscale on a 1440p monitor? Would i even really be notice a difference? I dont really know much about it, tbh, but I've really just ran at 2560x1440 for the entire time I've had this pc. opinions?
It depends on what you're playing, high action multiplayer games you want low res high fps, single player you can do high res low fps
do most games support 3620x2036?
Most modern games will
cool, thanks! appreciate it 
You may notice some aliasing when upscaling 1440p
Modern? Even GTA4 has 4k
Modern as in anything from the last 8-10 years unless the engine is ancient
Does anyone know of a decent 4K 120 monitor that isn’t more then someone’s rent
what does hdr do?
which monitor is best out of these 4?
LG UltraGear 24GN600-B 24"" FHD IPS 1ms 144Hz HDR Monitor with FreeSync, Black: Amazon.ca: Computers & Tablets
MSI Full HD FreeSync Gaming Monitor 24" Curved Non-Glare 1ms Led Wide Screen 1920 X 1080 144Hz Refresh Rate (Optix G24C),Black/Red: Amazon.ca: Computers & Tablets
Colors more gooder
its basically a LOT more clolurs
I mean, for 1080p yeah
actually for that many features, that price is "okay"
pretty sure that thing was 2 grand when it launched wasn't it...
yeah if anyones taking gaming serious at a competitive level if not you can just grab a msi 1440 p 200 hz monitor or something but the monitor i just posted is the fastest E-SPORTS panel on the market and yeah they was going for around 1200 when they first dropped because they was so obsolete
have you made the jump from a true 240 from 144hz
theses a huge difference you can almost buy a cheap 240 for what a 144hz panel cost nowa days
its not just the hz that matters its the response time as well as if its g-sync or free-sync compatible
yes that is why i recommended it as the best gaming monitor on the market and if your computer can run 360 fps this monitor will carry it becase believe it or not your panel limits your fps to what the panel can do
there are very few games that could take advantage of this
kinda funny to have it be gysync because of that fact
screen tearing will not ocurr
hz too high
oh theres plenty all of your call of dutys cs-go Fortnite
valorant
even in a speedrun on minecraft the response time is almost a second faster then most average panels
yeah cuz its 360hz, if it didnt have sub 3ms response times it would be a blurry mess
I wish to use it
and thats just average 
yeah that means some a little slower some a little faster
with only 3% bad ghosting
that's incredible
yee but theres no standard deviation
i thought the 360hz panels were TN?
no it's nano ips
pog
240hz fast enough for me tbh
couldnt imagine trying to run 360hz at 1440p
yeah first let's work on 240hz 1440p that isn't tn panel
i personally would prioritize 1440p over 360hz
i feel like theres so much more of an improvement there
too much moneys for me kek
rtings puts vertical viewing angle into their score I see...
don't care about that like, at all but I guess it makes sense to rate it
but as a result it skews the ratings a bit
imagine dumping so much money into a gaming monitor and not looking at it head on
none of this matters anyway since can't get good gpu
well I mean, I get horizontal viewing
1080 strugglin rn
but vertical?
horizontal and vertical both seem unimportant
its not a large TV
i couldnt imagine trying to play an FPS game with my screen at an angle
horizontal should be more important for like, media monitors
the type of monitors that would be used as a secondary
yeah

2024 I be getting that 1440p monitor guys 
Uh my screen is flickering but its not completely turning off when it flickers
what is happening?
freesync issue
is there a fix?
run the games in fullscreen?
oh...
Does your monitor have an overdrive function?
If so set it to "quality" not "balanced"
I mean personally I like wide viewing angles since my monitors are on vesa arms and I can turn it towards my bed to use it as a tv. It's a super niche use but I do appreciate decent vertical viewing angles
Granted I also didn't spend a ton on my monitor either
yeah, point being no one cares about viewing angles when looking at 240hz+ monitors
at 300+ dollars, viewing angles are gonna be good enough to simply be ignored
oled
I am so torn between which monitor to choose, either the xb273u gx or the AW2721D any thoughts?
id prefer the alienware but thts pricey as hell
indeed
also
should i go better pc + good monitor later
or
good pc + good monitor now
Should I turn on hdr?
If you like how it looks sure
Personally I reccomend better pc and good monitor later but there's arguments for both. But that's just my opinion personally. Looks over at 20" 900p monitor I'm only just now getting rid of
Just adding G-Sync to a monitors description adds $500
Yea, that's because all of the G-Sync panels go through some super rigorous testing by Nvidia unless things have changed. But at this point any freesync monitor with a displayport works with an Nvidia gpu
they dont really go through rigorous testing but it does have to be nvidia certified which i assume is like a 50$ fee/monitor or something
Things must have changed then I remember at one point an LTT video about all the testing for g-sync but that may have just been the initial spread of adaptive sync monittorsa
Thanks, NVIDIA for sponsoring this video! Learn more about G-Sync at https://lmg.gg/learngsync
There are few "secret sauces" as secret as NVIDIA's G-SYNC technology, and we're excited to be the FIRST non-NVIDIA employees to be taken behind the scenes to the lab where it all happens!
Buy a G-Sync Gaming Monitor:
On Amazon: https://lmg.gg/gsyncm...
That video
I mean that may just be the initial batch and then after that its spot checking, I watched the video a long time ago and don't remember the exact specifics
I'm watching it now looks pretty decent
I have a friend who has a Samsung Essential Curved Moniter 24 60hz , and he has a Rtx 3060, is it a good mix ?
Really should upgrade to 144hz at least
1080p I assume? 3060 is a little overkill for that
Eyup, and it's going for $400 at sf
So 60hz is fine, but it's best to go with a 144hz, alrighty thank you and i'll go inform him about it
$400 for the 3060 or the monitor? Because $400 gets you a very nice 1440p high refresh monitor
Imo any rtx 30 series should have 1080p 144hz min
$400 for the 3060
Ok good, I was worried for a minute you were paying double what the monitor was worth
$400 for that GPU is reasonable
Oh, i'm not the one who has it, i'm rocking on with a Gtx 1660
1ms bad.
Reverse ghosting
Not great
On affordable displays atleast
Blurbusters have a list iirc
what would you reccomend then
Get a 120hz panel. The 1ms is basically only advertising
Thinking about getting an asus rog strix pg329q.. 1440p 144hz hdr600, you guys think this is a good choice
Sadness versa arm mount is just the tiniest fraction of a millimeter too big
Guess I'm headed to the hardware store to buy a file for my bracket
looking for a good budget 240 hz monitor. anyone know one for around 250 or cheaper even?
Cheap really nice one start at 300$:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0841787BZ
Meh 260$ one:
