[slate hamlet]

very different from the comic up to that point

[summer obsidian]

Oh yea I just watched invincible start to finish yesterday and loved it

[quartz sandal]

Us or diff country?

Msi optix g24c4 if us

Or asus tuf

[summer obsidian]

I recommend the g242 over the g24c4 since it's IPS instead of va

[quartz sandal]

Ohb yeah that then

[summer obsidian]

it's $190 on newegg and B&H but a slightly better deal might be out there if you look since Ik I got mine for $180

[quartz sandal]

Monitor naming so confusion thats the one i meant lol

[summer obsidian]

Makes me think of this comic lol

[quartz sandal]

Lmao so true

[summer obsidian]

Part of me almost feels like its intentional so people won't ever truly understand what they're buying and it's easier to overcharge or mislead

[quartz sandal]

yes and the fact 4k is actually 3.8k lul

[gilded cloak]

^^

[summer obsidian]

Yea like it was a huge thing for me and why I asked a lot of people for help on this discord and elsewhere because I was like I don't know what to look for in monitors, and unlike other hardware I don't understand what any of the specs mean

like i understood refresh rate, resolution, and sorta panel type and that was it lol

[quartz sandal]

yeah they can have same specs and be completely diff

confusing

[gilded cloak]

Naming scheme isn't as bad as Intel's naming scheme rn

[quartz sandal]

nah

[summer obsidian]

Yea or like color stuff or brightness was super lost on me

[quartz sandal]

intels is sequential

[summer obsidian]

Intel at least I can look at the product number and know the generation and know where in their lineup it sits

[quartz sandal]

yeah lol

[summer obsidian]

like yes a ton of products makes it confusing but at least they pretty much make a tierlist of sorts lol

[quartz sandal]

i would like to introduce you to the new z3xí vs the new i5 11400

like bruh

[summer obsidian]

lol

[gilded cloak]

Lmao

[tough wren]

US

thx

[summer obsidian]

Msi g242 is pretty good it's what I use

[dire musk]

Hi, so my computer has had some blue screen problems that I couldn’t figure out, my computer crashed randomly while playing a game and my monitor just went into basically sleep mode (orange light) instead of staying on (blue light) not sure why or what happened

Also sorry if this isn’t the chat to ask about that

Tried the monitor on a PS4 and it was fine, also tried unplugging multiple times

[quartz sandal]

Yeah that's a pc crash not a monitor problem but are you running any overclocks or anything

[gilded idol]

Update video drivers

[quartz sandal]

What should i use to clean my monitor? I already know glass cleaners are bad but what should i use just kitchen roll and water?

[sick plume]

Yee just water

Maybe some isopropyl alcohol

[quartz sandal]

Really would that not affect the coating?

[quartz sandal]

Thanks tho think I'll just stick with water so my monitor doesn't smell awful tho lol

[sick plume]

If it works for phones which literally have touch input it works for monitors

[sick plume]

Alcohol evaporates quick

No smell after 2 mins

Cleans cleaner as well

[quartz sandal]

Hmm i guess

Think I'll just stick to water anyway effort of finding my rubbing alcohol

[dire musk]

@quartz sandal no overclocks

@gilded idol how if I can’t get into computer

[quartz sandal]

Download whocrashed then

[dire musk]

Can’t get into pc

[fading wyvern]

mightve shorted something. Try unplugging and plugging things in. Reseat your gpu first. Goodluck man

Oh right look for any obvious burns on your mobo. What kinda psu are u using?

+any mobo codes?

[quartz sandal]

What cpu do you have? Integrated graphics might save the day

[fading wyvern]

I'm just assuming it wont even boot

[dire musk]

Black screen, monitor isn’t getting any hdmi signal

[gilded idol]

try another input on the monitor, if you have a cable for it

[dire musk]

I’ll have to buy one, could it still be the input if it worked with my PS4 but not pc

[quartz sandal]

Just for the sake of it, clear cmos and does your cpu have Integrated graphics if so hook it up to that instead of gpu for moment

[dire musk]

Not sure where it would be on the cpu, also what does cmos mean

@quartz sandal

[misty gyro]

Unplug the computer, take out the silver, round battery on the motherboard, and wait 10 minutes before you put it all back

[quartz sandal]

Well what cpu do you have?

[dire musk]

Ryzen 5 3600

[quartz sandal]

Ahh not an option then

[dire musk]

Rip

[waxen root]

Maybe you guys can help. Think I have a borked monitor but I bought https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34gp83a-b-gaming-monitor from Amazon. Hooked it up and worked like a dream for like 45min then went to do some other things. Come back, turn my PC on from sleep and now it just flickers constantly. Tried switching outlets, DP cables, changing settings on the monitor and computer. I have another Gsync that still works perfectly so it's not the GPU or drivers. Any other suggestions?

[spring sail]

have you attempted to turn down the refresh rate at all? (or at least check where it's set)

also make sure you use the included power cable or one rated for use with that 34gp83a

[waxen root]

yep, tried @ 60hz and still flickers, and also am using the dedicated power brick that came with it

what's odd is this morning it was acting fine - but it still flickers occasionally, not as bad as it did yesterday

but still annoying

[spring sail]

how about leaving the monitor unplugged for a bit? sometimes purging voltage helps

other monitors work with your setup too?

[lost hollow]

The samsung g9 seems to have mixed reviews.. and the g9 that some youtubers reviewed seems to be the 2019 model (lc49g95t) ... anyone have the C49G97T model?

[fading wyvern]

Try it with gsync off. No clue why it would be flickering. Def might be borked

[spring sequoia]

On my weekly dumpster diving trip i found a 4k brand new pristine looking dell monitor

Problem is it has one of those LCD impacts with the black and the colors if you know what i am talking about

What should i do?

[misty gyro]

Replace the LCD

[weak sierra]

Which is better, Nano IPS or LED IPS?

[fading wyvern]

Did someone summon me using the words “nano ips”? The LG fanboy?

LG is the bestest brand in the screen space change my mind

[misty gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/zotac-wasabiwang-3080-rtx-rtx3080-gif-18908612

[fading wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/zotac-3080-gif-18549684

[weak sierra]

Couldn't agree more! I love my LG Nanocell 4k TV. Performs flawlessly (other than the built-in buggy web browser lol)

@fading wyvern I'll definitely take heed since I'm window shopping for a better gaming monitor

[fading wyvern]

[fading wyvern]

So as a follow up another person replied to your question, (think he got banned) he said something along the lines of, “Nano ips for response times and LED ips for color accuracy.” I believe LG is starting to refresh their lineup so if you wait a bit you’ll see older panels for cheap and the new ones with cool features.

And yes he is generally correct.

[fading wyvern]

So as a follow-follow up Zechter actually bought the new refreshed line up b-b model LG https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27gp83b-b-gaming-monitor

HDR10 on that bad boy

[clear obsidian]

what type of stuff will resetting the cmos do?

[misty gyro]

It clears all of the bios settings, which can help in a few cases like bad or corrupt settings.

[clear obsidian]

ahh I see

[weak sierra]

Very happy with the purchase~ Even without HDR 10 on it's definitely an awesome monitor!

[wispy stump]

Alright so i ordered an m27q, but they sent me a brand new gigabyte g32qc. do i say anything?

[sick plume]

You should but I wouldnt

[wispy stump]

i mean rtings rates the m27q slightly better but its also smaller and not curved

[misty gyro]

Morally? Yes tell them.
Personally? I'd keep it

[wispy stump]

it was from mercari so like

i think maybe it was on purpose?

[sick plume]

Got my case fans that way...

[wispy stump]

i dunno cuz the one they sent is worth more it looks like

[visual pilot]

M27q is a better panel than g32qc afaik

[wispy stump]

yeah rtings rates it like .7 higher

[visual pilot]

I mean, it's also just better

[wispy stump]

but g32 is bigger and curved

[visual pilot]

Refresh rate color accuracy response time etc

[sick plume]

ips vs VA

[misty gyro]

Yeah M27Q is better panel, but it's also $100 cheaper than the 32" they got

[wispy stump]

ya

[visual pilot]

Yea, and it's IPS while g32qc is VA

[fading wyvern]

i mean it is on sale atm

[visual pilot]

I'd personally definitely tell them

[sick plume]

also no curve and smaller than the one the guy recieved

[visual pilot]

Many people don't like curve, and bigger isn't better

[wispy stump]

yeah true

[sick plume]

true true

[misty gyro]

You're a videophile though lol

[visual pilot]

Hell, I'd get 27in 1440p for the better pixel density than 32in :p

[quartz sandal]

only a benefit if they like curved ;-; but tbf sounds like they do

[wispy stump]

i did get it for $198 too

[fading wyvern]

well now u got choices i guess

[visual pilot]

Videophile? >:(

[fading wyvern]

v

[misty gyro]

You know, like audiophile but video?

[visual pilot]

Lol

[wispy stump]

contrast on g32qc blows m27q out of the water

[fading wyvern]

thats any va vs ips

[visual pilot]

Meh, VA tends to have better contrast, that's to be expected

[wispy stump]

angles are crap ya

[visual pilot]

But color accuracy is bae

[misty gyro]

It's not an insult it just means you like your stuff to be better quality

[visual pilot]

Yeye just saying how it sounds very very made-up

[wispy stump]

yeah m27q is 9.1 cvompared to 7.5 in color

post cal its 9.4 to 9,4

hmm

ya i'll tell em

just so i dont get in trouble i guess

[visual pilot]

Oh gawd

[sick plume]

haha

[spring tapir]

my monitor doesnt have a display port, if i were to use an adapter would the monitor still cap my fps

[visual pilot]

uh

what

If the display itself is only rated for 60hz, switching cable won't do anything

[spring sail]

check your video card settings (nvidia or AMD driver) to see if you have vert-sync forced for all games.

[forest portal]

[gilded cloak]

Even though its HDR400, I still enjoy it

Hard to portray via a screenshot

[calm tendon]

does anyone have a rtx 3090

[misty gyro]

Yes

[misty gyro]

Why though?

[calm tendon]

i do

its an aorus master xtreme

was hard to get

but worth it

@misty gyro

[misty gyro]

Yeah I've got the Aorus Xtreme Waterforce one, with an AIO attached. Not cheap at all. I honestly would have preferred a 3080 but I'll mine the cost difference.

[calm tendon]

yea

nice

i think

theres a pny rtx 3090 nearby lemme check

wait there is one online

[misty gyro]

It's far from the best model but it'll serve me well for a long time I think

[calm tendon]

and i can get another aorus one

SLI could work nicely

[misty gyro]

SLI supported games are getting pretty rare tbh

[calm tendon]

yea

i know

but who can deny that

[misty gyro]

Even using a weaker GPU as a dedicated encoder or PhysX processor is dying out

[calm tendon]

good graphics dont come cheap

[calm tendon]

yea its kinda crappy thi

[misty gyro]

Definitely can't argue that

[calm tendon]

hello

@misty gyro

why is chat so dead when

the servers so big

[misty gyro]

We're a US based server, it's the middle of the night

[calm tendon]

oh

damn

[quartz sandal]

Apposed to the super smart Europeans right? XD

[tidal tundra]

ayo which is better
PXC327
or g32qc

or

best 32 inch 144-165 hz gaming moniter?? va/ips under 350 dollars

[visual pilot]

M27q

32in wack

[tidal tundra]

well i would like a bigger moniter D:

[visual pilot]

I like better pixel density

[tidal tundra]

i was originally gonna go for a 27 inch+side mounted 21.5-24 inch moniter but my desk is 48 inches in total so its not much space

[tidal tundra]

how about

https://www.newegg.com/black-acer-nitro-gaming-series-vg270u-pbmiipx-27/p/N82E16824011243?Description=acer 1440p 144 hz moniter&cm_re=acer_1440p 144 hz moniter-_-24-011-243-_-Product

it 250 dolalrs rn

[visual pilot]

Meh

M27q is still just better, but if you want to save a buck

[tidal tundra]

do you think a 48 inch desk would be enough for a pc, 27 inch moniter, and a side mounted 21.5 inch moniter? @visual pilot

yeah ican get the acer montier+cheaper side moniter for a bit more

[visual pilot]

Eh, depends on you and how you use your space

[tidal tundra]

ig i could if i have the side moniter off the edge

[fading wyvern]

m27q

[maiden wedge]

Hi guys, i own a Benq EX2510 and in games theres this kind of ghosting, like a black trail of previous frames on moving objects. however when i took a ghosting test from blur buster it seems fine. Does anybody know whats up? i tried turing AMA 0 - 3, turning on blur reduction and all but the issue seems persistent on AAA titles. i dont notice it elsewhere.

[fading scaffold]

Anyone here have a m27q monitor?

for some reason my 2k monitor is locked in 4k

[worn spire]

Not too educated on the issue but it’s gonna be between your gpu, monitor, and cable. Have you tried using a different cable or monitor first to see if you can replicate the issue?

[maiden wedge]

i tried using another hdmi cable, the issue was still present.

[sick plume]

is your pixel response set to the highest setting?

[worn spire]

Have a cheap monitor or even TV to try it with?

[sick plume]

or the lowest setting?

[sick plume]

Its not the wire or the card

[maiden wedge]

I tried various AMA settings, 0 - 1 as well as blur reduction.

[worn spire]

Oh ok

[maiden wedge]

yeah i tried it on my tv, the issue seemed worse i take it had to do with worse pixel response time than my monitor

[sick plume]

what graphics card?

[maiden wedge]

RTX 2070 super

[sick plume]

also is AMA on premium?

[maiden wedge]

i dont get you

[sick plume]

Go into AMA settings

[maiden wedge]

there are 3 AMA settings, from 0 to 3.

[sick plume]

so 3

[maiden wedge]

yeah like i said, tried all 3 options

[sick plume]

Switch it off then

[maiden wedge]

yeah 0 is off, right?

[sick plume]

Is there an option to turn it off

not 0

0 is low

[maiden wedge]

no, the setting just shows options from 0 - 3

[sick plume]

can you stream this to me?

Because the datasheets I have pulled up are giving conflicting data

[maiden wedge]

i can send the video to you personally

wait

[daring plover]

Hey guys, quick question. I have a 1080 and I currently run a 27inch QHD monitor and want to buy 2 more QHD monitors. Will a 1080 be able to run 3 monitors at that resolution smoothly?

My current monitor is 144 refresh rate, and the other 2 im thinking will be like 60 or 75. i jsut want them for work / coding

[river edge]

Oh yeah, no problem. All could be 144hz if you wanted

[sick plume]

Yes

[river edge]

The only issue you'll have is if you try and game on all three at the same time in an extended format

[daring plover]

i dont plan to do that. If i game i only use 1 monitor to game and the others for windows or music etc. good to know. ty

[river edge]

Yeah, no issues with that whatsoever then

[daring plover]

monitors are expensive right now. Do you think its worth waiting at all? OR should i just bite the bullet you think?

[river edge]

If there is a GoodWill near you you might want to go check them out. Can often find good second hand monitors at cheap prices

[daring plover]

It looks to be about 200-250 for a QHD monitor nowadays but i dont know if the prices will ever drop back to what they used to be

[visual pilot]

Monitors arent too expensive rn

I'd say monitor prices have gone down for the past year

[river edge]

If all you want is 1080p 60-75 hz, they cheap

[daring plover]

i want 1440p

thats QHD right?

[river edge]

Ah

[visual pilot]

Just say 1440p

Less confusion

[daring plover]

haha fair enough. Yeah i want 2 more 27inch 1440p monitors

they run at about 200-250 but I thought that was ok price. BUt people at work were saying they were cheaper at the start of the year, but i wasnt looking then so Im not sure

[visual pilot]

Cheapo 1440p panels should be around the 150-200 mark I'd say

Lemme check

Eh, 200$
https://www.newegg.com/black-acer-ka272u-biipx-um-hx2aa-004-27/p/N82E16824011372

Refurb monitors around 180$

[daring plover]

yeah. and i am always hesitant to do refrub when its only 20 bucks or 40 bucks cheaper. paying 10% more for new is ok with me.

[fading scaffold]

I'd say the M27Q is pretty gud

When I first got it for whatever reason it was locked in 4k bc of a nvidia setting though but now that's in 2k seems pretty great for the price I got it at

[daring plover]

little more than i wanted to pay. I already have a nice 144hz gaming monitor i like. I just want 2 other ones to mount and use for work and what not.

i was hoping to get em under 200, but it looks like for the 1440p resolution, you need to pay about 200-250 depending on brand for a 27inch

[fading scaffold]

Gotta wait for a sale to happen again

[daring plover]

yeah it is memorial day this weekend so i was hoping something would pop up.

[light burrow]

think i have gotten a good deal here, LG has monitors for $170 @1ms and 144Hz 24in, i got two of them, no better than any other monitors i saw over or under this price

[quartz sandal]

Msi have one i think

[visual pilot]

g242 is neat

but not bad

[lyric quartz]

Do you think i should get quest 2 or 1440p 144hz monitor?

[quartz sandal]

Ehh depends on if you want a quest/1440p monitor more lol

[mighty tide]

Need a tiny bit of help; trying to get sound through my monitor working but having some trouble

I have an HDMI cable

It's plugged in and noticing it

But seems like no sounds coming out

(And yes it is indeed unmuted)

[quartz sandal]

Does your monitor even have built in speakers? Some don't

[mighty tide]

Last I checked yeah

Has two little red speakers on it

I have the HDMI plugged in through the GPU

Is that the problem?

[quartz sandal]

No

[quartz sandal]

Have you updated your gpu driver

[mighty tide]

Should have, let me check

Found the problem then

[quartz sandal]

Outdated drivers?

[mighty tide]

Yep

Very

[quartz sandal]

That would do it

[mighty tide]

@quartz sandal Hate to ping but still no sound :/

[quartz sandal]

Ehh I'm not sure then

Have you tried a different cable/port?

[mighty tide]

Nah I will RN

[mighty tide]

Still seems to do nothing....

Where did I mess something up hmmm

[river edge]

Output device is set to your monitor in sound properties?

[mighty tide]

Think that's the right one

[river edge]

That should be it yeah

AOC monitor?

[mighty tide]

Yep

AOC G142

I think

something like that

[river edge]

C24G1?

is what comes back with that number

[mighty tide]

Yep

Think so

[river edge]

Well

It doesn't have speakers according to their spec sheet

It DOES have an earphone out though

Hence the reason for colume control

https://us.aoc.com/en/gaming-monitors/c24g1/support

That one you're sure?

Can you confirm the model number?

[mighty tide]

Yes

Certain it is that

[river edge]

Yes, it does not have speakers. It just has a pass through audio for connecting headphones or speakers to the audio port on the monitor

Confirmed by a ton of sources

Sorry :/

https://www.monitornerds.com/aoc-c24g1-review/

[mighty tide]

Ah thats ok

Touyght'

[fossil tiger]

how many dead pixels is too many dead pixels on a new monitor? 😅

I have one dead pixel in the top right

[misty gyro]

Depends on the brand, but most I've seen will only accept RMA with 8+ dead pixels

[fossil tiger]

It's MSI but I ordered from Newegg

[misty gyro]

Maybe ask @true iron about it, they'll check the specific return policies

[fossil tiger]

it's more so one of those things if it's being too picky to return because of one dead pixel

[misty gyro]

That's your call honestly. A single dead pixel wouldn't bother me too much personally, depending on where it is.

[fossil tiger]

top right on a 34" monitor

[misty gyro]

Probably wouldn't bother me too much then but again, that's your call

[maiden wedge]

how can i get freesync to work with a gtx1650 i have TERRIBLE screen tearing in game

my monitor has freesync support but doesnt have displayport

[river edge]

Or HDMI 2.0 or better

On both the monitor AND the gpu

yeye

[maiden wedge]

Oh

how can i check

[fossil tiger]

model numbers, it's normally listed in the spec sheet or manual

[maiden wedge]

it just lists it as hdmi in

https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/UM.HS1AA.I01?utm_campaign=cj_affiliate_sale&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=Bing+Rebates+by+Microsoft-5250933&utm_content=9069228-12826520&utm_term=12826520&cjid=9069228&cjevent=52921044c0c811eb8065360b0a1c0e0e&cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww

Ok so i found a website that lists it as hdmi 1.4

I guess i can't use freesync

[sudden basin]

good 200hz curved? 1080p.

[spring sail]

Question for high-end monitor minds: If you had a 27" Samsung Curved 1080p & were about to get an RTX 3070 or 3080, & only 'upgrade' once every 4-7 years: What monitor would you target? Asus Swift ROG, LG Ultragear, Acer Predator, LG CX Oled...?

[quartz sandal]

M27q

[river edge]

M27Q, 1440p 165hz

[spring sail]

GSync & HDR thoughts to the above?

[river edge]

M27Q is Freesync so Gsync yes

It's also IPS and HDR

[spring sail]

no concerns about lack of dp 1.4?

(suppose i ruled that one out a while ago due to freesync & older dp std)

Also- Do I have it right that freesync works w/Nvidia now? (sorry- a bit of news to me)

[river edge]

Yes, it does

Has for a while now

[spring sail]

Well that'll save some money on the options- tyvm - had no idea

[river edge]

You bet!

[spring sail]

for now I need the GPU to get either perk 😄 - GTX970 only works w/Gsync native. zero freesync support.

[river edge]

Right

It needs to be a 10 series or higher

[spring sail]

I had an HDMI cable connection to this Samsung C27F591: swapped it out w/a DP 1.4... oh my- what a difference even for an older monitor

[quartz sandal]

Dp just superior especially with older models when hdmi was hella lacking

[hot zephyr]

wait what changes with HDMI -> DP?

I have a 1080p 74Hz connected thru HDMI.

(yes, 74Hz. My other monitors run at 75Hz and this one suspiciously only lets me OC to 74.49999Hz. I smell firmware lock? 🤔)

(sort of a tangent, but I wonder if it's possible to mod the fw to allow 75Hz?)

[sick plume]

ehhhh 0.51 frame doesnt make a difference

[hot zephyr]

it's frustratingly close

This looks interesting: https://www.monitortests.com/forum/thread-custom-resolution-utility-cru

eyyyy

I made a number go up slightly!

I used CRU's "Exact Reduced" mode

[noble current]

Just curious, was anyone in robeytech stream on Friday and he was showing/telling specs of a gigabyte monitor but couldn't get the rest of the name.

[fossil tiger]

whatever platform he was streaming on, the stream should be available to rewatch as video. You just have to remember which part of the stream it was

[woeful pagoda]

Anyone got any recommendation for a dual monitor mount. Trying to work with two diff 27in mounts budget is around $100

[fossil tiger]

$100 is a very large budget to work with, I'd just recommend getting one that mounts to the edge of the desk if you're able, from there it's just if you want them fixed or to have the flexibility to move them

[noble current]

@inept, he never said the model, just the specs, and while he was doing a giveaway. So chat was impossible to read. That why I'm asking

Hey I'm looking for a cheap second monitor, I currently have an ASUS VG278Q 27in 144hz but want like a 24 inch second monitor display. Also am on the fence of if I want to vertically mount it or not. Any feedback would be much appreciated!

[misty gyro]

If it's just to watch videos and check discord while you're gaming literally any 1080p monitor will do

If you want to mount it just make sure it's vesa compatible

[sage trail]

check facebook marketplace

and craigslist

my secondary cost 20 from goodwill

[misty gyro]

My secondary was free
My old roommate left it behind

[fading wyvern]

My secondary is basically a main and wasn’t cheap

In fact I bought it first

[turbid star]

ha, same

then i bought a better monitor

[junior lagoon]

What monitor should I get for my RTX 2070 for 400 and below

[fading wyvern]

Eh what kinda games you playing?

@junior lagoon

[junior lagoon]

Valorant, Cold War maybe, warzone, Minecraft, csgo

[fading wyvern]

Like it’s a pretty okay card not exactly 1440p but it can do it

Ah okay so probably a 1080p screen

[junior lagoon]

Yeah

[fading wyvern]

Looking for crazy refresh or just 144?

[junior lagoon]

144 or above is fine

Something that will make my flicks better and not too exspensive

[fading wyvern]

Msi g424 is a good budget monitor at 144hz the hp x24i is also solid for cheap

If your looking for something more expensive https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0845QFDVM?tag=rtings-mn-r-20&ie=UTF8

The ppi pixel per inch is pretty bad at 27 inches though

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0876KP2CK?tag=rtings-mn-r-20&ie=UTF8

This is the smaller one

[junior lagoon]

Ok thanks, if I’m prob gonna get my gpu in a couple or one week then gonna sell my 1060 for like 350 maybe

[fading wyvern]

Np 👍

[hallow sorrel]

can a 750 ti support a 240hz monitor?

[fading wyvern]

Throw a DisplayPort cable at that bad boy

It’ll work maybe

*should be fine

[hallow sorrel]

ok ty

[quartz sandal]

It won't be able to game at 240fps so I'd definitely tune it to 100hz or something so you're not getting less than your refresh rate, cuz having less fps than refresh looks 💩

[covert solstice]

dvi and hdmi 1.4a can only do 144hz at 1080p, so no

[fading wyvern]

itll run just not at 240hz

[spring sail]

anyone have a 4k preference for the 32-38" HDR IPS monitors out there for a guy who just got an RTX3070! #Neweggshuffle

[maiden wedge]

whats the best monitor under 190? should i go for the px248 prime s or something else

[spring sail]

i'm willing to go to around $1k

not sure if I should wait for mini-led to drop or just add $300 & dive into an LG oled CX panel.

I have a 27" 1080p Samsung curved now. want to push this card a bit.

[fading wyvern]

hp i24x msi g242.

[fading wyvern]

This is usually where the LG fanboy in me shines and id recommend https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27gn950-b-gaming-monitor

BUT it seems to be out of stock everywhere so im looking for alternatives

[fading wyvern]

1440p is also a super noticeable upgrade if your looking to save some cash and still get crazy framerates.

[spring sail]

I like the 32-38" options but I've heard the HDR on the ASUS ROG Swift's is a difference-maker. what's your take?

[spring sail]

DLSS help with my wishes for 4K here you think? does it make a big impact?

[fading wyvern]

I dont have too much personal experience with the dlss scene rip my gtx 1080... but my brother who plays on a ultrawide has said to me "its gross and weirdly blurry" that was about warzone

[fading wyvern]

Ive also heard that hdr gaming like that is pretty awesome. its up to you though. The LG cx tv is usually great but like lots of people hate the size especially if u have to sit up next to it

[spring sail]

right and I'm at about 3 feet currently could be 5 if I built it right.

good idea but wish they had a 32-38" 😄

[fossil tiger]

there really aren't many "gaming" monitors that size that are 4k, most are 27" then it jumps up to 43"

[spring sail]

it seems like a bit of a gap there- you're right

[fossil tiger]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Monitor/AORUS-FI32U#kf

found one

[maiden wedge]

uhh g242 is out of stock on amazon, what should i get instead of that

[spring sail]

[fossil tiger]

bruh, $3k???????

[spring sail]

AND backordered

[fossil tiger]

at that point just buy a tv

and that hdr is sus af, one brightest is 500 and the other 1400

granted, 500 is still great but what forsaken setting must you enable to get 1400

[spring sail]

Still not worth $3k... lol

[fossil tiger]

oh, it's mini led

[spring sail]

yeah

supposedly gets rid of the halo-effect

[fossil tiger]

wait a second, since when is monitor technology up to par with tv technology?

lul, did you see the "compare with similar items" section?

barely even equals half the value

[spring sail]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012012?Item=9SIAS6AEJN3459

[fading wyvern]

if you go 1440p id strongly recommend going 27inches

[fossil tiger]

34 because girth

[fading wyvern]

but the blur oh the terrible blur

[fossil tiger]

4k is really nice, even on lower settings compared to qhd and hd, but not many real gaming monitors at 32"

[fading wyvern]

yeah the LG CX is prob the best bang for the buck if u really want some crazy hdr 4k gaming.

just over 1k perfect blacks insane response times only 120hz tho (but at 4k u cant even push that)

"just over" $300 over

[spring sail]

yeah. I have a 47"LG 3D TV from 2012. it's still going. Super LG fanboy.

however.. 48" minimum..ugh

[fading wyvern]

watch out for windows tho. the finish on it is super gloss

got one for my mom so when i visit if i ever pick up a new console

[spring sail]

the 55" was the same price as the 48" for months

[fading wyvern]

yeah

but ur shopping for a monitor not a behemoth

https://www.amazon.com/HP-X24i-Computer-Entry-Level-Certified/dp/B08H166L6G @maiden wedge

one left

stands terrible but u can mount it to a nice one later

oh rip its used wasnt paying attention....

[spring sail]

yeah I won't be downgrading- lol- 27" curved Samsung 1080p is still decent. we're doing a 10 year purchase that won't kill my retina's

[fading wyvern]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-nitro-xf243y-pbmiiprx-23-8-full-hd-monitor-hdmi/6425559.p? @maiden wedge its a bit over budget but its what rtings is suggesting

or u can wait for other stuff to get in stock

[fossil tiger]

the lg cx 55 has been lower than the 48 before, the 48 is a terrible bargain

[spring sail]

feel like they should've dropped to sub $1k by now considering the 55" rate

but... silicon shortage

[fading wyvern]

the new panel version is dropping now if u wait a little

suppose to be much better contrast

[spring sail]

i can. it'll be a 'i just sold a big contract'-type bonus. have time

[fading wyvern]

nice gotchya

[fossil tiger]

I got a 55" sony a8g back in 2019, they were doing 10% off open at the store I went to, I got a satisfactory one but it was acting up so they exchanged it for a geek squad certified excellent one and I still got it under 1k

games looked great on it but I realized I was watching more tv in bed so now it's sitting in my bedroom

[fading wyvern]

my big screen is just a projector on a blank wall

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-23-8-fhd-amd-freesync-gaming-monitor-black/6442434.p?skuId=6442434 @maiden wedge in stock at bestbuy tho its not cheap

[fossil tiger]

actually, just stalk best buy, they get tons of open box monitors

if they have too many you could even ask a manager for an extra discount

[fading wyvern]

they also price match amazon if u push them

[fossil tiger]

always wiggle room on open boxes at best buy

[fading wyvern]

sony using some of them lg panels. think they actually have the new tech first

[fossil tiger]

well it's not the panels that they push as new, more so the processors that do the upscaling and such

[fading wyvern]

yeah the image quality and processing on them sonys is 👍

[fossil tiger]

anybody have strong opinions on the best 34" qhd monitor? since my graphics card situation is settled I think I've got some wiggle room to splurge

eh thats over my budget

should i get this? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-optix-g241-24-widescreen-gaming-lcd-monitor-hdmi-displayport-black/6406781.p?skuId=6406781

[mellow hazel]

question

why does my monitors sRGB mode look so yellow?

[fading wyvern]

Might just be badly calibrated or you’re not use to that color profile

[mellow hazel]

well my monitor is the lg gl83a-b or something if that tells you anything

[fading wyvern]

Ohh night mode maybe also

[mellow hazel]

im not on night mode

[fading wyvern]

Darn so close

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gl83a-b

Check out the calibration section

Mess with the settings a bit and good luck

[mellow hazel]

i must not be used to 6500k

because that looks super warm to me

like really really warm

[fading wyvern]

Might just be more used to super blue screens then. Besides the color how’s the monitor?

[mellow hazel]

pretty good

never seen 144hz

so thats new

really smooth

[fading wyvern]

Nice another maybe happy lg customer

I haven’t heard of that brand

[spring sail]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824716001?Item=N82E16824716001 takes on this one?

[visual pilot]

Uh

If you're going to spend that much, you could get a FI27Q-X, a 1440p 240hz monitor for a pretty similar price @spring sail

[spring sail]

upgrading from 27" if I can. you like the higher refresh rate @visual pilot ?

[visual pilot]

@spring sail bigger doesn't always mean better

I'd prefer pixel density over just big monitor

[spring sail]

understood- hence the high prices I'm window-shopping - 4k res for 32"+ is the target you think?

[visual pilot]

That's my opinion

[spring sail]

makes sense

[visual pilot]

32in is either ultrawide 1440p or 16:9 4k territory imo

[spring sail]

so it's back to the $3k Asus ROG mini-led. lol

[visual pilot]

What's your current monitor?

[spring sail]

Samsung C27F591

RTX 3070 arriving any day 😄

[visual pilot]

Heh

With a 3070

@spring sail I'd say a M27q for 310$ is perfect :p

3070 won't have a lot of fun driving 4k AAA games

[spring sail]

I've read that- if only the 3080 existed in our current reality 😄

tbh i usually make big purchases like this once every 6-10 years. for me this will be as future-proof as I can spec it

[misty gyro]

Apparently according to steam almost 1% of computers have a 3080. 1/100 people isn't bad at all.

[visual pilot]

Well

Best thing you can get atm imo is a FI27Q-X, but not everyone can notice the 240hz

[spring sail]

You're not the first to point to this gem. I've been staring at the LG's & Asus Swift's. Didnt know I didnt have to buy a gsync. I like the idea of HDR but know results vary there too. Thanks for the discussion. Not many I can geek out on high end monitors with

[visual pilot]

rtings and hardware unboxed are very good monitor reviewers (one has a site one on youtube) for the details on things, their reviews on fi27q-x here:
https://youtu.be/CHXsV7YBCPE
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/aorus-fi27q-x

They also have reviews on a lot of other panels, you could take a look at them for those too.

[foggy flame]

hows this monitor? it's a 1440p 75hz panel from dell
https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27-monitor-s2721d/apd/210-axko/monitors-monitor-accessories?

[misty gyro]

That link tho 😫
You can usually delete everything after a "?" in the link, like this https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27-monitor-s2721d/apd/210-axko/monitors-monitor-accessories
Rtings has it as about an average display, 7.4 overall. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/s2721d

[misty gyro]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/g34wqc

Looks fairly decent, 8.2/10 for gaming

[visual pilot]

Compared to M27q, panel comparison wise, worse pixel response and color, but not horrible

It's va instead of ips

[spring sail]

missed the VA difference

[visual pilot]

Oh yea subpixel layout on that is rgb instead of bgr on M27q and fi27q but doesn't really matter as long as the cleartype setting is set to bgr on those panels

[spring sail]

then i see this: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-gaming-vg34vql1b

subpixel is rgb

hdr rating is a big diff

[visual pilot]

Color and response time are good, but not as good as M27q or FI27Q-X xD
Good in general tho

[foggy flame]

thanks 👍

also, TIL about the link shortening. appreciate the tip

[visual pilot]

Yes, link shortening will help a lot in life

[fading wyvern]

Unless? 👀

[potent gust]

I just bought an M27q, what settings should I mess around with for optimal performance?

[vocal ocean]

Where is the difference between the M27Q and the G27Q? they both seem to be very similar and the price is kinda the same.

Is it only the higher refresh rate?

[quartz sandal]

Spec wise they look the same but could use diff panels for the 2 models

[visual pilot]

And pixel response time and color calibration out of box and kvm

On Newegg for 189.99

[quartz sandal]

Get the msi g242 instead

Cheaper and better

[spring sail]

what is everyone's take on the Samsung Odyssey G7? top tier gray-to-gray response time- 240Hz- VA panel but seems to be the top of the heap there. HDR600 but it is 2k. Decent price & I'm not sure my RTX 3070 can push 4k as I'd hoped. Also not really crazy about buying another 27"

(I deserve a bigger panel :D)

[quartz sandal]

Va is meh, I'd recommend looking for ips displays

[sick plume]

IPS>VA>TN

[spring sail]

cost tiers follow this as well^

[sick plume]

VA is fine for light editing an gaming

IPS is necessary for great colour accuracy

TN is trash

[spring sail]

^which i care about for sure. I'm noticing anything above 27" has negatives. I watch movies & tv shows but am not a content designer. Gamer for sure. Perhaps the pick isn't to pick- but to wait.

[sick plume]

VA is great for you

[spring sail]

that's what I was thinking but I need to be strict about gray-to-gray ms & local dimming performance

[sick plume]

You wont see a difference unless you actively compare or unless you are into visual design and stuff

[sick plume]

that isnt related to VA or IPS

just model

[spring sail]

right- that's why i asked about the Odyssey G7- seems to compete w/IPS panels there

big negative there is 2k vs 4k but it might be perfect for my rtx 3070 if I'm being honest w/myself

[sick plume]

1440 is still great

[spring sail]

& context is I'm upgrading from a Samsung C27F591 so I imagine just about anything not 1080p will feel like a huge upgrade

[slow turret]

Was gifted an HP vh240a, but when I unpacked it the stand was for a DELL (not compatible). I can't find a replacement that lists this model, stuff just talks about VESA compatiblity. Any recommendations of what terms I should be searching?

[slow turret]

Nevermind, I was directed to the correct manual!

So... uh... any recommendations?

[fading wyvern]

Grab a Amazon basics monitor mount or something. Just clamp it on your desk and free up space under the monitor 😄

[dry wraith]

Hey... does anyone know if there is a monitor out there that has a 4k resolution but will also have like a 240hz refresh if it's in 2k ?... or is that not a thing

[quartz sandal]

Nothing can push 4k 240hz

[dry wraith]

Well like.. is there a monitor that runs 4k at 60hz but also has 2k resolutions at a higher hz ??

[quartz sandal]

Usually displays would have to do the highest hz at the highest refresh

[warped night]

Not just usually

All displays have to run their Highest Resolution at the Highest Refresh Rate

[warped night]

No. There isn't a monitor out there like that because it physically can't exist.

[fossil tiger]

There are some TVs that you can run 4k at 60hz and 1080p at 120hz. I'm not sure if any have really gotten beyond that

[mental sierra]

Mine

4k 120hz

[misty gyro]

Pretty sure I saw a 8k 120hz tv recently

Oh looks like there's several now

[mental sierra]

8k 120 can't happen

No cable can do it

Displayport 2 will when there's something that uses it

8k 120 as in it can do both but not at the same time sure

[misty gyro]

4k120 with HDR on with a PS5, and it does a fake smoothed 240hz https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-75-class-q800t-series-qled-8k-uhd-smart-tizen-tv/6401971.p?skuId=6401971

You made a mistake

Initially I did but the responses are to this guy

I hate my ISP

[misty gyro]

Ok, and I was responding to your ping

[mental sierra]

Yeah

Just letting you know anything I said after the og reply wasn't directed to you

I know you looked for an example display

[sick plume]

OLED is expensive and has a few drawbacks

QLED is good enough

[fading wyvern]

i sensed another lg fanboy

https://tenor.com/view/she-ra-psychic-read-mind-gif-9909907

[warped night]

More like a lot of drawbacks

[fading wyvern]

quick list all of them

[dire musk]

Don’t some monitors have trouble with changing resolution

Is it 4K monitors ?

[quartz sandal]

I've never heard of that? And how would they? 720p is less pixels than 1080p for example

[dire musk]

Yeah idk, I’m looking for a good 144 hz monitor

1080

[misty gyro]

If any monitor is having trouble changing resolution then it's probably isolated to a few specific models. I've seen a couple 8k TVs that had minor problems before firmware updates but that's it.

[quartz sandal]

Msi g242 is best bang for the buck in the us

[dire musk]

Alright yeah, just making sure I don’t buy the wrong monitor and not able to use stretch res in games like csgo, siege, or rust

[dire musk]

Ill check it out thanks for recommendation

[raw ingot]

OLED has a lot of drawbacks?

no lol

It's mainly only burn-in that's the drawback

Unless you mean old OLED, that stuff is dim

[misty gyro]

Cost counts as a drawback too

[raw ingot]

Well, higher cost for better picture quality

[fading wyvern]

It’s really just burn in and darker grays that get washed out. The newest panels are claiming much higher brightness then the first few gens. Think it’s like 20%? If you’re looking at spending over a grand on a tv it’s a perfect purchase imo

[raw ingot]

Yeah

[fading wyvern]

To get nitpicky the screen is super thin at the top of the cx lineup... it’s a bit scary to handle

[quartz sandal]

Tbh who is looking to spend over a grand on a tv tho

[misty gyro]

Slowly raises hand
We're sure for an upgrade. Our old set is falling apart. I'm surprised it lasted this long, since it only cost $200 over 5 years ago.

[quartz sandal]

Lol, yeah my tv atm was like 2-300 i think and is fine lol, noone in my family really watches enough tv to care, and even then most channels still do 720p video so

[misty gyro]

Pffft no one's watching cable in this house. Nothing but streaming TV and gaming for this living room. Granted, the kids still mostly play the Wii in 480p but it'll be nice to be able to do 8k on the PS5.

[quartz sandal]

Can the ps5 even support 8k? I guess if it can do 4k 120 why not 8k lol

[misty gyro]

Yes an update got pushed that allows 8k now

[quartz sandal]

But yeah my mom is the main one that watches tv usually cable or sometimes netflix chrome casted

[misty gyro]

You need hdmi 2.1 to do it

[quartz sandal]

Consoles need to give in to dp smh

[misty gyro]

But TVs still don't usually have DP and literally everything has hdmi

This applies to the xbox series too, they can do 8k

[sick plume]

I dont even hae DP on my gamin monitor

only HDMI

[quartz sandal]

Ik but a decent amount of ppl hook them up to monitors

[sick plume]

I honestly prefer HDMI to DP

[quartz sandal]

Might as well offer it just 1 port

[misty gyro]

No VRR for you then

[sick plume]

and I also have my apple tv hooked to my monitor so yeah hdmi gud

[sick plume]

VRR?

[misty gyro]

Variable refresh rate

Gsync

[quartz sandal]

Fal mimicking a car

[sick plume]

I have freesync on

I cant use gsync anyway because Ayymd card

[misty gyro]

Then you A-have a new version of hdmi or B-are limited to 75Hz or less

[quartz sandal]

I dislike gsync n freesync tbh :/

[misty gyro]

It's only good on higher quality monitors, cheap stuff you get worse tearing and such

I leave it off usually unless I'm between 120-140fps

[sick plume]

2.0

[quartz sandal]

Me playing esports titles

[misty gyro]

Yeah 2.0 would be good enough to do 120 freesync

[sick plume]

2.0b to be exact

[misty gyro]

Me playing tomb raider in 4k max settings

[quartz sandal]

You have 4k monitor?

[misty gyro]

Nope, it's 1440p but I use DSR and it's sooooo smooth

[sick plume]

SOTTR is a great game as well

[quartz sandal]

But whyy render 4k then ;-;

[sick plume]

Better quality

[misty gyro]

Because if I don't I only use 70% gpu to get 200fps

[sick plume]

render 4k downsample to 1440

makes 1440p look better

[quartz sandal]

That's fair, i had to refresh my dsr knowledge for a sec lol

@misty gyro is dsr per game basis or how does it work btw ?

[sick plume]

Nah its global

it basically renders at a higher resolution and then downsamples for higher image fidelity

[misty gyro]

It's easy, you set desired scale options in nvcp and it shows up as a resolution in game, the drivers handle the rest

[quartz sandal]

Interesting

[misty gyro]

So it's a global option that you can enable per game by simply choosing a higher resolution than your monitor supports

[quartz sandal]

I should try 1440p dsr then

[sick plume]

its called VSR for ayymd cards'

Makes quite a big difference tbh

[warped basalt]

Good 75 inch 4k tvs cost like 2k here

[misty gyro]

75 inches? Sheesh I thought 60 was too much

[warped basalt]

We are buying one soon for our basement for movies

[quartz sandal]

75" too big also 4k tv meh you sit so far away anyway....

[sick plume]

I think my 55" is too much tbh

[misty gyro]

Where's that graphic I had for this...

[sick plume]

Its an old 55" tho

only 720p

[warped basalt]

My brother has a 55inch in his room its enough tbh

[sick plume]

it has 3d tho

[warped basalt]

So for a 4k 75inch 2m will be fine

[misty gyro]

Yeah that's about right

[warped basalt]

Nice it will be good then

[sick plume]

yep my 720p 55" is around 4m away from seating

[misty gyro]

Before anyone says "but where's 1440", there's no TVs in that resolution. There's large gaming monitors, but those aren't truly TVs.

[fading wyvern]

Buy a projector instead just have to replace a bulb if anything goes wrong

[warped basalt]

Projectors have terrible quality

The cheap ones atleast

[quartz sandal]

Projectors sound like they are about to take off too

[misty gyro]

Black uniformity and bleed are really bad on projectors, forget HDR

[warped basalt]

Yeah like a decent 4k one cost 3k and you cant compare it to a tv

[fading wyvern]

🤷‍♂️

1080p and 120inches is fine on my wall got it second hand for like a couple hundred. Replaced the bulb and it’s golden

[misty gyro]

If it works for you, great. I couldn't live with the compromises myself.

[fading wyvern]

Yeah I guess you kinda need to blot out any light source in whatever room you use it in. Besides that though I’d highly suggest it for anyone who wants a large picture who happens to have a blank wall

*for cheap and second hand

[quartz sandal]

120" holy 💩

[fading wyvern]

Washed out because of multiple light sources image go!

[fading wyvern]

optoma hd66

(its compressed 1080p shh)

[fading wyvern]

oo nice

[iron zodiac]

looking for a cheap portable projector to present stuff, any suggestions?

[iron zodiac]

oh hey.

yall knew what i needed before i did

i'd prefer 1080p, might as well buy the better quality one.

i'll add it to the budget list P:

got a newegg link?

P:

ah, i'll go ahead and wait; i don't need one today.

when newegg does a sale next, give me a ping will ya? 😛

thanks

yeah

IT?

imho, that's kinda a core part of business.

like i don't understand how that's contract work

then again, permanent temps are a thing for auto work...

i mean, if they didn't exploit humans, yeah, they do amazing things, but come on... pay people alright?

they went too greedy.

not the ones on the floor moving their logistics sides of things.

they get like $15-18 an hour for walking 20+ miles a day .-.

lots of walking.

how many miles is it? 30?

well, a fulfillment center worker who walks ~25 miles a day burns ~1800 calories just walking per day.

that's not including breathing or anything else... just walking, that's an insane amount of food.

how many lbs of veggies or fruits is that?

i'm just speculating how much food i'd have to smash each day to do the job.

like imagine, okay, this pays me $15 an hour, let's see if that's livable, paying an extra $$$ in food costs because the job literally forces you to consume an extra 1800 calories per day is something to take into account.

but #old-monitors-and-tv be displays P:

musk is worse tbh

yeah

such 1 am in specific niche chat.

[pst, i'm running for US House] and needed this projector so i can show them my projected map of the district because Ohio hasn't drawn the borders yet, and projectors are good organizing tools

mostly rural folks, but electricity is a given at every meeting, just gotta bring my laptop, projector, plug it in, kill the lights, and should be good

huh..

[cloud stirrup]

im looking for a monitor that will work well with valorant and csgo budget is $300 any suggestions if so @ me

[fading wyvern]

Gigabyte M27q, MSi g242/g241. The two recommendation champions in this chat @cloud stirrup

[misty gyro]

If you're doing esports games like that you probably want a 1080p 300Hz monitor though.
Those are valid recommendations for less competitive games.

[fading wyvern]

Go for a tn at 240hz if your going real hard. Not sure what to recommend though. HP omens line up has always had some of the craziest response times but they are fairly pricey

[quartz sandal]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JgCFf7/asus-tuf-gaming-vg279qm-270-1920x1080-280-hz-monitor-vg279qm or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/68qBD3/alienware-aw2521hf-245-1920x1080-240-hz-monitor-aw2521hf

[cloud stirrup]

thank you guys for all of the recommendations

[misty gyro]

That Asus looks really good, great review on rtings too

[fading wyvern]

Might wanna go for the 24/25inch variant though depends on you

[quartz sandal]

yeah but that one is cheaper than 24 inch lol

[fading wyvern]

Welp that’s annoying go for the Alienware it’s weird looking

[quartz sandal]

id go for the tuf one just cuz it looks really good and 1080p 27" is fine

[fading wyvern]

Oh no LG did a bad oopsie and tried to bribe a reviewer. As a LG fanboy I am ashamed.

[sick plume]

[fading wyvern]

Was hardware unboxed again btw.

[sick plume]

[quartz sandal]

Rip

[fading wyvern]

It was a email chain that they published @modest palm

LG has like 3 separate entities tho for production design and marketing

This was the marketing side in Korea

[lucid flax]

So, the Korean marketing arm being stupid.

[fading wyvern]

Yeah they make great products. Was very disappointed with that kinda behavior. Yeah the marketing guys were being dumb

[visual pilot]

Another dumb pr team is sad

[fading wyvern]

It seemed like hardware unboxed critiqued the very fast preset on one of their models claiming it was “unusable”. They still loved the monitor though but LGs marketing was like hey yeah because of a statement like that can you not publish the review on the 32 inch variant? We just wanna make sure you stick to a script please follow these guidelines etc. etc. and we’ll pay you

And also random embargo’s on publishing reviews

[dire musk]

Can anyone recommend a 144 hz monitor on amazon that’s in stock

[quartz sandal]

Budget ?

[dire musk]

Hmm I guess 200 and under would be nice but if there’s one a little over that’s fine

1920 x 1080 for gaming, also doesn’t have to be exactly 144 hz, been using a crappy 60 hz monitor

[quartz sandal]

Msi g242

[dire musk]

@quartz sandal can u send link because u told me that monitor before and it said it was out of stock

[dire musk]

Alright

@modest palm yeah g242 is out of stock on amazon, can’t find the g241 on amazon

Not showing for me

[dire musk]

I found the g242 on eBay

Newegg is selling it

[fading wyvern]

https://www.target.com/p/hp-x24i-23-8-34-ips-full-hd-freesync-gaming-monitor/-/A-80924360? @dire musk another great option

stand aint great but its well reviewed on rtings and has vesa if u get a different stand

[quartz sandal]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LRJgXL/msi-optix-g242-238-1920x1080-144-hz-monitor-optix-g242

[rancid oxide]

any cheap options for a 24" 60/75hz minimal bezel display?

[quartz sandal]

Main or secondary display?

If secondary look for 2nd hand should be able to get one for like 30-60$

Actually if it's main either save the extra 20-30$ for a 144hz imo or go 2nd hand

[exotic rain]

Curved 32 165hz 1440p or non curved 27 Inch 144hz 1440p or Curved 27 inch 165hz 1440p

[fading wyvern]

I’d say either of the 27 inch models. Depends on if you want curved or not, the flat one might be a ips display though so I’d probably prefer that.

[visual pilot]

I say a M27q

[fading wyvern]

Lol yeah there was no extra info

[surreal quarry]

Is this a good display for gaming
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012019?Item=N82E16824012019

[fading wyvern]

It’s a great display for competitive shooters and esports but it is a bit pricey. Generally gaming you’ll have a great time with anything that’s above 120hz. Then panel/color accuracy wise the preference is IPS>VA>TN. TN has incredible response times and is generally terrible at color and viewing angles. VA is all bendy and stuff. IPS has the highest degree of color accuracy but can have backlight bleed and pretty lack luster contrast. I sleep now

[surreal quarry]

So it's good but expensive, thanks

[warped basalt]

Good ultrawide 1440p 144hz+ monitors?

[quartz sandal]

Budget?

Also size?

Anyway I'd probs go
Gigabyte G34WQC or
Acer XV340CK

[warped basalt]

Around 500-600$ without taxes and 34-39 inches@quartz sandal

[warped basalt]

I saw the gigabyte one i will look at the acer one too

[quartz sandal]

They both 400$ and 34"

[warped basalt]

👍

[quartz sandal]

The acer is just cuz was ips

[warped basalt]

I have a va monitor rn and the colors are fine tbh so i dont mind both

How is the oddesy g5?

Probably overpriced , I think theg34wqc looks pretty good might go with it.

[quartz sandal]

I think g5 is stoopid pricing especially compared to the gigabyte

[worthy terrace]

MSI Optix MAG27 or G34WQC

bruh this other dude is goin for it

[quartz sandal]

Well one is the gigabyte is ultrawide and the msi one isn't so that's not really a fair comparison

[worthy terrace]

In my country its on the same price or the gigabye one is cheaper, should I get i?

Its 34 I dont mind the curve

Looks cool too

[sick plume]

Then you know what you want

[fossil tiger]

what are the odds that I exchange a monitor with dead pixels just to get a monitor with even more dead pixels? 😅

[quartz sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/8ball-bart-simpson-shaking-shake-magic-ball-gif-17725278

Pretty damm low tho

[zinc remnant]

anyone have a suggestion for a monitor 1440p and above, that also is 120 hz refresh rate or higher, and is reasonably priced? thats what im looking for.

[fading wyvern]

Gigabyte M27q

[zinc remnant]

damn thats acutally kinda hot

you have one, or somehting you believe is good?

[visual pilot]

M27q

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m27q

[zinc remnant]

and its in stock? what world is this?

[visual pilot]

It's
https://youtu.be/uNIqwxAZ-MQ

[zinc remnant]

already watched it

im thinking about selling my current monitors, HP 27f's (2), should I? I wouldnt have one when i get my new PC, but, i would be able to buy an M27Q if i get a lil more money

[zinc remnant]

i feel like its too good to be true for the price...

[fading wyvern]

It’s a great monitor a few people in chat have already gotten it, it’s one draw back is text is slightly less clear. Totally blanking on what they use but it’s basically a bit cheaper. At work so too lazy to look it up. @zinc remnant

[zinc remnant]

ight, thanks for the insight

[idle oriole]

IPS 24' 75 Hz under 150?

[surreal quarry]

Is 1000:1 a good contrast ratio?

[foggy birch]

You can buy this monitor - Acer 23.6 inch FHD 165Hz Gaming Monitor(165hz and price is 165 dollars lmao)

[surreal quarry]

What is better for less blur, free sync + g sync, or ELMB (also called aim stabilizer)

[fading wyvern]

ELMB. sync tech mostly just removes any screen tearing @surreal quarry

but whats best overall is high refresh rate with good pixel response times

[surreal quarry]

so g sync is better

[fading wyvern]

Sorta

Elmb eliminates some perceived blur

It’s throwing blank frames in between refreshes

🤷‍♂️

[zinc remnant]

how much do yall think i could sell my monitor for? its an HP 27f.

[fading wyvern]

Looks like it’s on eBay for about 120

[fading scaffold]

Does anyone have a M27Q monitor? For some reason if I have it at less than 144 hz it switches to 4k instead of staying at 1440p

[quartz sandal]

Are you doing this in windows settings or your graphics card settings?

[fading scaffold]

It's just on the monitor I'm pretty sure, windows is set to 1440p

[quartz sandal]

Do it though software instead

[nova cloud]

Why are you setting less than 144hz

Also I do have a M27q

[fading scaffold]

I don't know how to change the settings tbh, I didn't get a usb cable in my box I only forced it into 2k by locking the nvidia settings to 144hz

[nova cloud]

What happens when you set 170hz

Also you can navigate monitor settings using the little nub in the back

[fading scaffold]

what is the setting that lets you control the hz? I don't see any options for 170. also are you using hdmi or DP

[quartz sandal]

Dp

Use dp

Always when possible

Just better

[summer obsidian]

Is a single green pixel typical of a dead pixel or should i screw around with different cables and stuff?

nevermind answered my own question switched input to one where i didn't have anything plugged in and it was still there. love that

[visual pilot]

Displayport carries more bandwidth than HDMI

I don't think HDMI can support 1440p170hz without hdmi 2.1

but dp 1.4 should be able to

[nova cloud]

With the stock dp cable I can do 1440p 170hz

@fading scaffold

[fading scaffold]

I'll try out the DP cable then and let you know

[fading scaffold]

Using the DP cable let my go to 170, thanks again!

[summer obsidian]

Yea it's on an really cheap Acer monitor that's been moved around a bunch. It appears to occasionally disappear and then come back. What is with a stuck pixel?

[quartz sandal]

Try one of those stuck pixel sites mb?

[summer obsidian]

More just curious like what exactly a stuck pixel is😂 but I can just look it up.

[solemn parrot]

Is this a dead pixel or a stuck pixel?

Nvm I just scrolled up a bit

[maiden wedge]

yeah it's dead, same thing literally just happened to me

I wish mine just kind of fixed itself but nope

Is this it? Coupon code makes it like 267. Or maybe their will be better deals at Amazon tomorrow say on like the M27Q?

Then again the Gigabyte G27Q is sitting at only 10 more dollars I'd the code works

[quartz sandal]

I've never heard of pixio

And monitors based on specs alone is bleh

[covert solstice]

pixio is legit i have a px7 prime from them

[paper arrow]

I've never heard of them either which is why I'm hesitant. There's an extremely good deal at Walmart for a monitor but it's VA and really aiming for IPS

[visual pilot]

For that sale price it's good, but I'd try to see what deals M27q will get

[paper arrow]

That's what I'm thinking too 🤔
