[quartz sandal]

By upscaling do you mean dlss? It's nowhere near as intensive as running native 4k so that's why

[maiden wedge]

I also tried downscaling to 1080p on my 4k tv

and it still lagged/slowdown

and rn im trying my hdmi cable on my moniter in my room and upscaling to 4k with no problems

thats what I mean by upscaling

notdlss

[next dagger]

hmm

often tvs have worse response times

[maiden wedge]

its not input lag as said above

its literal slowdown on the game

making me belive its hardware but ive ran so many tests thats hard to believe

[visual pilot]

Slowdown in terms of fps..?

[quartz sandal]

Ehh what version of hdmi is your tv

[maiden wedge]

not sure actually but I do know my hdmi cable is 2.1

[maiden wedge]

no

just slowdown

visually

[visual pilot]

???

[maiden wedge]

ima run a test with shadow play and show you

give me like 10 min

[visual pilot]

Grab rtss osd too

Just get a fps counter up

[maiden wedge]

ok

[maiden wedge]

ill just do that with the shadow play one

if thats fine pretty sure there isnt that much of a difference especially with advanced options

[visual pilot]

Meh, afterburner+rtss has a lot more you can show

I don't think gfe has an option for frametime chart yet

[maiden wedge]

ok gonna have to download then

[maiden wedge]

mm ok

[visual pilot]

I mean, just a fps counter will work to start off

[maiden wedge]

oh alr

[visual pilot]

If it looks like stuttering in terms of frametime spikes, you could go grab afterburner and rtss and use the osd to check

[maiden wedge]

alr brb then

[quartz sandal]

Ehh do you mean your monitor is 60-165hz range and that your tv is most likely 24-30hz?

[maiden wedge]

tv is 60hz

hey mr1111

the video is too big

[quartz sandal]

pop the vid into handbrake then

[maiden wedge]

no I just realized

it didnt show the performance

(face Palm)

ima use afterburner

[visual pilot]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/977649-guide-how-to-setup-msi-afterburner-on-screen-display-using-rtss/

[maiden wedge]

its onlyshowing that for sum reason

nvm

figured it out

[maiden wedge]

there @visual pilot

[visual pilot]

Kinda annoying the osd is so small and can't really see it

[maiden wedge]

gpu utiliztion stays below 50

oh

ill try and make it better

[visual pilot]

Rtss should have an option for the size of things

[maiden wedge]

honestly can I just make it a mega file or sum or screen share?

I dont wannado everything again

cuz im eating rn

but ima try to encode in hand brake again

ill just tell you my fps is dropping when I play on my tv but the utiliztion isnt going above 50

[placid vortex]

Maybe, your TV is the bottleneck.

[maiden wedge]

but would a tv reallymake my computer drop frames

that makes like 0 sense

[quartz sandal]

nah you wouldnt drop frames cuz connected to pc

[visual pilot]

@maiden wedge got on my PC so I can see things, it's definitely just low fps

13fps, 240ms frametime, yea

[maiden wedge]

so then is my pc just failing?!??!

[visual pilot]

need to check which part of your PC is failing you

but would like the text to be bigger

with more things selected

what cpu do you have?

[maiden wedge]

like everything?

5600x

[visual pilot]

what gpu again?

[maiden wedge]

3070

16gb ram 3200mhz

1tb m.2 drive

[visual pilot]

also, just drag this to change the size of the text on the osd

[maiden wedge]

lianli aio

[maiden wedge]

ok

what do i select in monitering?

[visual pilot]

and in afterburner, check CPU temperature and each CPU usage, ram usage, and do the graph for frametime

[maiden wedge]

ok

[maiden wedge]

alr

[visual pilot]

don't have to check all the things I did but just make sure to get the graph for frametime

but yea, also do gpu usage and temperature

[maiden wedge]

ok

[maiden wedge]

do I put those as graph?

[visual pilot]

nah

[maiden wedge]

ok

[visual pilot]

only graph you need is frametime

[maiden wedge]

alr bet

[visual pilot]

frametime graph is useful to see stuttering

[maiden wedge]

be back in like 5 10 min

alr ima run it in handbrake

[visual pilot]

hm

is xmp on?

doesn't look like any issue with gpu

[maiden wedge]

yeah

I oc a couple days ago but I ran stress tests and temps were fine

under 80

81 ish

[visual pilot]

oh OCing could do that if it's barely stable, try reverting the OC?

[maiden wedge]

alr cool

brb

[quartz sandal]

What oc and what stress tests?

[maiden wedge]

4.2ghz

cinebench

[maiden wedge]

same results

I reccorded another vid just in case you need it

do oyu need it?

[quartz sandal]

what cpu what voltage, how long cinebench?

[maiden wedge]

5600x 1.350 just ran cinebench once

multicore

but i took of the oc so that shouldnt matter anymore

@visual pilot have you found out why my game is still lagging?

[quartz sandal]

just use pbo instead, also 1.35 is above safe on ryzen iirc

[maiden wedge]

pbo?

prime 95?

[quartz sandal]

precision boost overdrive, manual ocs on ryzen kind meh

[maiden wedge]

oh

[maiden wedge]

I just enable that and nothing else?

[quartz sandal]

yup

[maiden wedge]

alr cool but I still dont know why my game lags when I play on my tvv

😭

pbo didnt do anything

[visual pilot]

@maiden wedge CPU usage also just looks surprisingly low

[maiden wedge]

in the gameplay?

[visual pilot]

Can you try running a different game?

[maiden wedge]

yah

also did that

[visual pilot]

Like record a different game

[maiden wedge]

same result on the tv

[maiden wedge]

oh

[visual pilot]

I'd like to see the cpu usage in a different game

[maiden wedge]

ok

[visual pilot]

@maiden wedge also, can you go into afterburner and enable each CPU core usage?

[maiden wedge]

alr

[visual pilot]

(the cpu0 cpu1 cpu2 and whatever)

[maiden wedge]

yah

alr be back

[maiden wedge]

@visual pilot

[small whale]

not sure if this is the right chat for this or not but i was trying to figure out how to allow facecam access to two different apps at the same time? for example i was trying to go on omegle while streaming at the same time, i tried downloading a couple things but couldnt figure it out.

[visual pilot]

CPU usage looks weird, Are you using an emulator or anything to play those games? @maiden wedge

[maiden wedge]

nah

they are pirated butshouldnt make a difference

cant get blur on steam so kinda have to pirate that one lol

[visual pilot]

Ehm

[quartz sandal]

Both chrome and obs should be able to use your camera at the same time no problem?

[visual pilot]

Can you quickly run like a 3dmark timespy run? Demo is free on steam

[maiden wedge]

not if its dslr

[maiden wedge]

alr

[quartz sandal]

Huh?

[visual pilot]

Or just some free game

Dunno, if you had Apex installed or smth

[quartz sandal]

Nvm read wrong

[quartz sandal]

Why wouldn't it ?

[maiden wedge]

idk but I have one same thing happens to me

[maiden wedge]

ill do 3dspymark

[quartz sandal]

That doesn't make sense tho lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[visual pilot]

Time spy is just a benchmark so it'll give you a score at the end you can compare with similar setups

[maiden wedge]

alr bet

[visual pilot]

If time spy gives a very low score, need to mess around with hardware, if the time spy score looks average, I would pin the blame on those games, either bad optimization or something like that

[quartz sandal]

Cpu is looking low from a 5600x

@maiden wedge what cooler you got on your cpu and was that with or without your manual oc?

[maiden wedge]

without

[maiden wedge]

I have the lianli gallahad aio

[quartz sandal]

Odd

240mm?

[quartz sandal]

Got all the way up go 80c stock?

[maiden wedge]

8160 is average

[maiden wedge]

nah

[quartz sandal]

Did you have pbo on?

[maiden wedge]

yes

[quartz sandal]

Ahh

Well it did reach 80c in the cpu test bit

[maiden wedge]

mm

but thats normal with pbo?

[quartz sandal]

Yeah sounds right

I thought it was just stock tho

[maiden wedge]

oh lol

then should i turn off pbo

or auto

[quartz sandal]

Nono that's fine

[maiden wedge]

also I think your right because other ppl on steam say marvel vs capcom has major slow downs

[quartz sandal]

What's your ram config davey?

[maiden wedge]

dual slot 16gb

3200mhz

[visual pilot]

Lemme think if there's any small games you can quickly try on the tv

[quartz sandal]

You have xmp enabled ye?

[visual pilot]

Ye

[quartz sandal]

Also in slots 2 and 4?

[maiden wedge]

ye

[maiden wedge]

ye

[quartz sandal]

Hmm

[maiden wedge]

a1a2b1b2

I have them in a2 b2

[visual pilot]

It should be good

[quartz sandal]

Yep sounds good

[maiden wedge]

wait a min though you sure

[visual pilot]

@maiden wedge try any steam games or other games you have installed to use on the tv

Slots 2&4

[visual pilot]

That looks like a xeon platform

[maiden wedge]

lol

but I have mine configured like on the far right

[visual pilot]

I mean, 8 slots, lga socket.

But yea, far right should be correct

[maiden wedge]

alr cool

[quiet spear]

I want hdr 400+

[visual pilot]

What about it?

[quartz sandal]

Hdr400 means practically nothing

[maiden wedge]

@visual pilot

I still got frame drops but it wasnt as bad as when I was playin marvel vs capcom

also my gpu fan is really loud

[visual pilot]

I'm just not familiar with fighting games at all soo

you could mess with gpu fan curve if you want

[maiden wedge]

yah cuz that thing hella annoying rn

😂

[visual pilot]

just use afterburner

[maiden wedge]

but uhhh what do you think is causing the frame drops

[visual pilot]

games being weird

[maiden wedge]

💀

[visual pilot]

They seem like games ported over from console and such

[maiden wedge]

true

I would use console but the visual difference😭

[visual pilot]

anyways, on afterburner, you can just un-click this, and use the slider to control fan speed if you want

or you can edit the fan curve in the settings, and then make it use the fan curve you want

[maiden wedge]

yah alr did that

[visual pilot]

but manually setting a fan speed is easier

[maiden wedge]

temps reach 80 with fan speeds at 50

is that cool?

[quartz sandal]

No lol

Why 50%

That's quite low

Also your gonna make your room an oven x)

Try 70%

[maiden wedge]

💀

question though

upscaling is prety similar to native 4k

in terms of gpu stress

and games are stable on my pc with upscale 4k

do yall think its my tv

I even downscaled to 1080p on my tv

and games still lagged

@visual pilot

last ping

😅

[quartz sandal]

Dlss? No less intensive

[maiden wedge]

no not dlss

[quartz sandal]

How are you upscaling then?

Just running above native res?

[maiden wedge]

dsr

[quartz sandal]

Dsr?

[maiden wedge]

yes

[quartz sandal]

Screenshot?

[quartz sandal]

Ohh right

Dynamic super res

[maiden wedge]

yah

so i think its my tv

idk how

but I think it is

[visual pilot]

I mean, you could just try 4k native

3070 should do 4k60 natively fairly alright

[maiden wedge]

on 1080p moniter?

[visual pilot]

thought you had a 4k tv..?

[maiden wedge]

yah

I do

I use 4k native on the tv

im saying 4k dsr on my moniter doesnt stutter

but ima try using a custom res on my moniter for 4k see if my game lags

did it no lag

I think my tv is somehow bottlenecking my pc

I have no clue how but at this point it has to be

[warped night]

Are you using a TV with HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 support?

And on a 2.0 or 2.1 port?

[maiden wedge]

I tried both ports (only two are on the back)

[warped night]

Then your TV probably doesn't have 2.0 or 2.1

[maiden wedge]

it is 7 years old but would that affect fps?

[warped night]

It could yes.

[maiden wedge]

ahhh

ok

problem solved

lmao

[warped night]

Older 4K TV's kinda suck at doing PC stuff.

[maiden wedge]

ahhh alr thank you soo much

[warped night]

And, 4K Gaming in general is kindof a meme right now.

Until the XX60 tier cards can output 4K at above 60 FPS before any special FPS boosting shenanigens like DLSS, 4K Gaming will be a meme.

[maiden wedge]

and they say 8k gaming is a thing

[warped night]

And we are at least 1, if not 2 generations out from that being a reality.

8K Gaming is NOT a thing.

Playing games on an 8K TV with DLSS enabled on an RTX 3090 is kindof a thing.

But, it's only for people who have enough money to buy out small African countries.

Or LinusTechTips

[maiden wedge]

😂

lmaoooo

I mean its not that much if you buy retail

like you can make a good 3090 build with 3k

[languid ruin]

I need help

Basically i changed my display settings to 1980 by 1080

And when i go back to the normal display settings which was 1360 by 760

It didnt work

And i have huge black bars around the screen

[edgy nest]

2560 1440 monitors are abit close to 2k. MVA just doesnt have portrait/lanscape versions in that resolution

only 1080 does and bigger resolutions some can flip to portrait but others need a mount

ips only

oops

vertical alignment mvas are curved and really neat

better picture detail but less picture accuracy

[languid ruin]

Are you talking to me?

[edgy nest]

anyone who is awake

I'm new to dicord a store reccomended I get discord so I can talk about cool tech pc stuff

software to upscale the resolution of the monitor so it can turn 1 size into bigger. It says it could damage the monitor so I havent not tried it

eg 1080 to 1440 or 3840

or 2k 27 inch to a 4k

I guess no one has

Well I guess I'm off I'm going to head to something else

[quartz sandal]

You can run 1080p upscaled but it's just a tiny bit smoother 1080p really not worth the per hit

[languid ruin]

can someone help me with this

[quartz sandal]

Mb they did i mean they were talking bout tires in gpu chat so who knows

[quartz sandal]

Whats cpu and gpu?

Have a look for yourself

[languid ruin]

i5-7k and rtx 2080

[quartz sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/tiny-little-bit-just-a-little-bit-small-grin-gif-16643713

[quartz sandal]

Go into Nvidia control panel

[languid ruin]

ok?

now what

[quartz sandal]

Go into the area for making resolutions

Can't remember what's its called off top of head

And hit the stretched/fill whole screen button

[languid ruin]

cant really find it

[quartz sandal]

Underneath the drop menu there is no scaling feature?

[spring tapir]

Just copped this bih

[placid vortex]

Nice

[quartz sandal]

So my dp cable died yesterday and my monitor looks kinda cloudy is that just because of the hdmi cable I'm using ?

[fading wyvern]

did the resolution change? I dont know what else would cause tht

maybe the backlight is freaking out

@quartz sandal

[quartz sandal]

Still 1080, just changed from 144hz to 60 cuz hdmi

[fading wyvern]

what kinda panel are you using

[quartz sandal]

Tn

[fading wyvern]

huh. no idea. hopefully itll fix itself when u get another dp cable

[quartz sandal]

Yeah 🤞

Never used the hdmi for that monitor cuz dp better n stuff so yeah might have always looked like that

[quartz sandal]

@fading wyvern seems to have fixed itself already ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fading wyvern]

[quartz sandal]

Weird right?

[fading wyvern]

discod everywhere

[sick plume]

Hdmi ❤️

[quartz sandal]

Hdmi

[sick plume]

Hdmi good because universal

[quartz sandal]

I suppose

[sick plume]

[raw ingot]

my gpu still somehow have dvi

despite it being a 1660s

[sick plume]

Wait when did you get nitro again @quartz sandal

[raw ingot]

good feature for cheap old monitors

[sick plume]

Boost this server

So secret chat perms

[quartz sandal]

Someone sent rommy nitro classic but rommy already have nitro so she gave me i canny boost

[sick plume]

Oh

Pog!

@modest palm ILY

Romie good

[quartz sandal]

[sick plume]

Gimme server invite

or baf

[quartz sandal]

[sick plume]

GIMME SERVER INVITE OR BAD

[quartz sandal]

[fading wyvern]

Are there server invites being handed out in here

[quartz sandal]

[fading wyvern]

[sick plume]

100% not

[spring tapir]

would overclocking a 180hz monitor to 240hz be doable?

[fading wyvern]

Generally no, typically the claimed 180hz is already a overclock

@spring tapir

[visual ravine]

Can I enable four monitors with an AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vegas Graphics?

[quartz sandal]

Nope

You'll need a gt710 or something for the other 3 monitors

[fierce geyser]

Any recommendations for a 1440p or 4k monitors under 400 bucks? My 1080p monitor doesn’t cut it anymore ever since I got a 3090 lol

[fading wyvern]

The m27q is the go to option for a great 1440p color accurate panel. It's also ~$300.

[sage trail]

FI27Q-X came in 😩

[quartz sandal]

If you want ultrawide https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gvJmP6/gigabyte-g34wqc-340-3440x1440-144-hz-monitor-g34wqc

Woops wrong ping sorey darvan

[visual pilot]

neat, let's see if 240hz on 1440p is worth it >:D

[sage trail]

let's hope lmaooo

gonna play seg

[visual pilot]

yes

[sage trail]

see how it go

[sage trail]

i cant get it to go 240hz anymore, i set it to 10bit HDR, and now it wont go back

:P

seg looks amazing at max settings tho

will fix later

[visual pilot]

Hm, DP cable?

From rtings:

Update 04/23/2021: We previously indicated that the maximum refresh rate at 10 bit over DisplayPort is 144Hz, which is wrong. The maximum is 200Hz at 10 bit.

The input lag of the Gigabyte FI27Q-X is extremely low, and it stays low with VRR enabled. We didn't measure the 10-bit HDR input lag because the max refresh rate in 10-bit HDR over HDMI is 60Hz. You can achieve a maximum of 200Hz over DisplayPort in HDR, but we don't have the tools necessary to measure input lag over a DisplayPort connection. That said, we don't expect the input lag to increase in HDR.

So basically, 1440p 240hz 10bit HDR is too much for the bandwidth of current gen dp

[sage trail]

that i know, the issue is even when its set to 8bit SDR, the max is still 165hz

theres nothing i could do to get the 240hz option to reappear

restarted pc, unplugged monitor

[visual pilot]

Tried using nvcp and just saying screw you and custom resolution?

[sage trail]

yeah, monitor denies it

[visual pilot]

Hm

[sage trail]

it dabs on me

[visual pilot]

Tried 1440p200hz?

Since that's what rtings says is max for the dp connection

[sage trail]

190hz dont work

240hz at 1080p doesnt even work

i dont think its a bandwidth issue

[visual pilot]

Hm

@sage trail this is gonna sound weird, but have you tried downloading the software/firmware that comes with it from gigabyte?

[sage trail]

yeah, i got the OSD software, and updated the monitor firmware

firmware update didnt do anything noticable

OSD pretty cool, but doesnt have any related settings, just pixel response time adjustments

[visual pilot]

Hm

[sage trail]

even setting those to speed dont do anything

as one might think

[visual pilot]

I assume you've tried a dif cable?

[sage trail]

this is the cable that came with it...

plus, i had 240hz working before

so like idk what happened, I might just reinstall graphics drivers

:P

ugh

ill try a diff cable lol

[visual pilot]

Weird

[sage trail]

thank goodness this monitor has mad tilt adj.

[visual pilot]

I blame windows

?

[sage trail]

always

[visual pilot]

Could run through sfc and dism rq maybe

[sage trail]

this seem like an issue?

seems like a windows thing

[visual pilot]

Windows issue looking thing

[sage trail]

why couldnt they have just used DP 2.0

and just done everything all at once with no issue

[visual pilot]

Sad

Im guessing dp 2.0 not available during development of monitor

[sage trail]

yeah, but it did release earlier this year

its a very new one

[visual pilot]

There's also does your graphics card support dp 2.0?

[sage trail]

nope lol

i guess 2.0 really is too new

even though it was technically released in 2019

but yeah, the specification was released then

so i guess it makes sense nothing really uses it atm

[visual pilot]

Ye

[sage trail]

too soon

[visual pilot]

But tech specs released in 2019 is pretty damn new for end products

[sage trail]

the cable it came with is marked DP8K, so im switching back to that one

[visual pilot]

Mm

[sage trail]

sfc turned up fine

[sage trail]

3080 stuck at 3.0 x8?

i dunno if that would cause this issue, but i still have no idea why thats the case

[sage trail]

another thing i thought was weird is that this 165hz feels too smooth to be 165.

I keep thinking it feels just like 240hz, but it says it supposedly isnt

unless it actually is and its some firmware issue?

but then i switch HDR and 10bit color on, and it feels just as smooth

is it just gsync doing its thing? man idk anymore

[maiden wedge]

Just use your monitor osd and turn on refresh rate

If you're not sure

[sage trail]

asking the monitor to report it's refresh rate for the purpose of verifying if the monitor is reporting its refresh rate correctly doesn't exactly prove anything

regardless, looking with well rested eyes this morning, it's def 165hz

BRUH

REALLY?

it says this LITERALLY NO WHERE ELSE

why is this stupid crap enabled on every profile by default

[maiden wedge]

Lmao

[sage trail]

bLaCk EqUaLiZeR 2.0 literally no one cares

no one's paying 700 dollars to run this monitor at anything else than 240

[untold idol]

yo why are dell monitor arms so expensive

[steel ridge]

Because Dell

[untold idol]

can i not find third party ones or am i just small brain?

who would need this?

[steel ridge]

People who may swivel or move their monitor often like in an office for example

Like showing a client your screen or something perhaps

[untold idol]

ok? just turn the thing yourself you dont need a motor to do it for you

[stable palm]

is the 360hz asus swift worth?

[quartz sandal]

Unless you play very very high level csgo or valorant no 360hz aint worth

[noble current]

240hz/1440P? @quartz sandal

[quartz sandal]

What's up?

[warped night]

I don't think it's motorized.

I think it's some kind of lock or something.

[noble current]

I was saying what about 240hz and 1440P? is that overkill too?

[warped night]

240hz is basically the limit before it becomes excessive for a normal person.

[sage trail]

120-165hz is really all a normal person needs. i would say 240hz is def exessive for a normal person

[errant edge]

Yeah only purpose is for comp gamers or people with more money than they know what to do with

[quartz sandal]

Ehh if you're play story games you wont tell between 120 and 240hz

[timid herald]

Recommendations for best 1080p IPS high refresh rate low response time monitor?

[timid herald]

Ew, stupid msi and their proprietary mounts

uh, it's 100x100 vesa..?

[timid herald]

Well then

My msi monitor isn’t vesa

So therefore all msi bad

[maiden wedge]

I recently bought a 32" GIGABYTE 165Hz 1440P curved monitor to go alongside two other monitors I own, but I am having issue finding a monitor stand that fits on the back. I have purchased two separate mounts for this, that say they are correct in size, but are not.

Any help is much obliged.

[onyx moat]

Anyone know if my 3070 should be able to support all 4 monitors with the following resolutions: 2x 2560x1440, 1x 3840x2160 HDR, & 1x 2560x1080 HDR

all 75hz except the 4k. That's only 60hz

It probably doesn't help to have basically all three HD resolutions going at once

[sage trail]

i think the 8k maximum is per port

im almost positive of that

so you should be fine

[spring tapir]

is an m27q enough for a 3090 or should i cop an odyssey g7

[quartz sandal]

id go m27q

[warped night]

Broski be out here asking if a monitor is enough for a 3090.

M27Q would probably be better in general. Ultrawides are kinda funky for Gaming.

[raw ingot]

^

[misty gyro]

I wouldn't call it "more than enough" but most games you can do 4k high (or better with dlss) at 60-100 fps.
My issue with 4k monitors is the bandwidth limitation restricts the refresh rate so a 4k120 panel is Uber expensive.

[spring tapir]

nvm just copped an acer predator xb3

tryna future proof my system

[quartz sandal]

Not really a way to "future proof" a monitor without spending stupid money when it would be cheaper or the same price to buy twice and have the newer monitors be better

I'm interested in possibly getting one of these displays but can't decide which might be better. Interested in getting some opinions of which you fellow people might think is better

[quartz sandal]

Don't get a 32" 1080p monitor it will be full of pixels

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DPYQzy/asus-tuf-gaming-vg27wq-270-2560x1440-165-hz-monitor-90lm05f0-b01eb0 if you're going tuf monitor get this one

And it's actually 40$ cheaper nice

[mortal cliff]

Oh yes. Didn't think of that.
What's your thoughts on the AOC?
Was thinking that might be pretty good?

[quartz sandal]

Looked fine but I'd look at an rtings or toms hardware review

[mortal cliff]

Also i dont know where you see the $40 cheaper part. On the link you sent, it's $300 the one i sent it's $299. Basically the same

[quartz sandal]

Nvm it ends up 10$ cheaper, 30$ rebate and 10$ promo code

[mortal cliff]

Oh. I just saw the thing youre on about. I didnt notice that before

Tiny fine print 😂

[quartz sandal]

Yeah, pcpp included the rebate but not the code in it's price so i though it was 300$ -30-10

[visual pilot]

But M27q is like 270$

[quartz sandal]

Think they want curved as the 2 they linked are curved

[visual pilot]

Sad

[mortal cliff]

I'm open to other suggestions if there might be something better

The above monitors are actually ones my friend is looking at but i find it easier to just word it like it's me looking for them and then give them the info i have found seeing as he is not in this group

[quartz sandal]

M27q if they don't want curved

[mortal cliff]

Gotcha

[inner scroll]

My pc broke 😭

[upbeat summit]

[fleet cloud]

if i am going to buy a main monitor switching from my current monitor which one should i get my current is a viotek 144hz 24" 1080p, my current will be for discord and whatever one i get for gaming will be my main please help me

[sage trail]

M27q

[errant edge]

What gpu do you have and what games do you play

[fleet cloud]

gta fiveM and valorant and a bit of minecraft

i was thinking this monitor

[errant edge]

What graphics card do you have

[fleet cloud]

but i may get the m27q

gtx 980 ti

[errant edge]

That's not going to be much different than your current one

Oh

Hell nah don't get a 1440p monitor

[fleet cloud]

ok

[visual pilot]

if you're gonna upgrade gpu

m27q

[errant edge]

True

But if you're sticking with anything below a 2070/1080 don't go 1440p

[fleet cloud]

so should I just get the m27q and then upgrade my gpu

[errant edge]

If you have the money and want to

But keep in mind we are in a shortage

[fleet cloud]

well im getting a monitor for Christmas but idk which one

ik

[errant edge]

So you could get the monitor now and start the hunt for a gpu at msrp

[fleet cloud]

okay

so the m27q?

it is

[errant edge]

For 1440p I'd go with a 3060 ti/6700xt or better

But if you're playing less demanding games like vslorsnt anything around 2070 should be good

I can type well

Valorsnt

God!)-

Yknow what

[sage trail]

this isnt an upgrade

[fleet cloud]

okay

[errant edge]

I'm just going to pretend that didn't happen

[sage trail]

its still 1080p

[fleet cloud]

lol

[sage trail]

its only like 20hz more

[errant edge]

Ignore the 18 typoes there I'm on phone

[errant edge]

That's what I said

[fleet cloud]

so should I get the m27q

well gta isn’t that demanding

ish

[errant edge]

Again, if you have the money and want to upgrade gpu too

[fleet cloud]

what’s a good monitor if I don’t upgrade?

[errant edge]

There's no reason to get another 1080p high refresh rate

[fleet cloud]

that’s better than my current monitor, or should I just get like a $80 70hz for discord

[errant edge]

Just get a random 1080p 60hz for a second monitor

[fleet cloud]

okay thx

Will it be OK to watch like YouTube and crap?

if I get a 60hz

[errant edge]

Ofcourse

Obviously it looks better with higher refresh rate but it really doesn't make much of a difference unless you're gaming

It helps you react faster since the image is updating faster

[fleet cloud]

okay thanks

should i mount that vertical or horizontal

next to my monitor now?

[errant edge]

That someone else will have to answer

I know about refresh rates and resolutions

Not monitors themselves lol

[fleet cloud]

no ik but which do u think would look best

[errant edge]

Personally I like having all my monitors even with eachotuer

But tbf I have 3 completely different monitors so it doesn't matter much which way i put them they look weird lmao

Ones an old office monitor 1050p

Ones a curved 1080p 165hz I got on amazon

And the last is a flat 1440p 75hz I bought used

Makes no sense together but I am not spending 200$ on 2 matching monitors

[fleet cloud]

what if i get this?

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-C24G1A-Frameless-1920x1080-adjustable/dp/B08D3Y5PFZ/ref=asc_df_B08D3Y5PFZ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459710794544&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15749750695037814948&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016034&hvtargid=pla-1012815327767&th=1

and use that as my main and mine rn as my secondary

@errant edge

[errant edge]

Lol that's the one I have

But it really wouldn't be an upgrade

Itd be a side grade at best

[fleet cloud]

so I should use it for my secondary

[errant edge]

You won't notice a difference between 144hz and 165hz

No

Get a cheaper 1080p monitor

[fleet cloud]

okay

[errant edge]

60hz

Higher refresh rate won't make a noticeable difference for a side monitor

[fleet cloud]

okay

[errant edge]

You can always try overclocking the panel anyways, especially since you have a nvidia gpu

Most 1080p monitors can be ocd

[fleet cloud]

how do I oc a monitor

[errant edge]

Nvidia control panel

[fleet cloud]

what from their

would I b okay if I got that monitor or should I not?

bc then I would put my 144hz as my secondary and the 165hz and my main

[errant edge]

I mean it would work

But it makes no sense

High refresh rate is overkill for a secondary monitor for most people

[fleet cloud]

wdym buy overkill

like a bad thing?

so would the ms matter for a secondary monitor

@errant edge

[errant edge]

Ms is mouse input delay if I remember correctly

It won't matter for a secondary

[fleet cloud]

ok

[errant edge]

Overkill as in no one needs high refresh rate for anything but gaming (unless they have money to waste)

[fleet cloud]

when I have the secondary all I have to do is move the mouse to the other monitor correct,

[errant edge]

Yep

[fleet cloud]

okay

so what monitor brand do u recommend for a secondary that’s a good cheap one off amazon

[errant edge]

Nearly anything you can find as long as it's cheap and has a good rating

[quiet spear]

seems ok

[fleet cloud]

https://www.amazon.com/Sceptre-E248W-19203R-Monitor-Speakers-Metallic/dp/B0773ZY26F/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=cheap+monitor&qid=1628394369&sr=8-5 ?

for the secondary or a diff one

[errant edge]

That has built in speakers

So it'll cost extra

[fleet cloud]

okay i want built in speakers so i dont have to buy a extra pair for yt

but is that a okay one?

and can i mount that on my desk mount?

[errant edge]

No clue on that last part

But it has good reviews

I'm off for the night

Maybe someone else can help more

[fleet cloud]

okay if it is 24" will it be the same height as my 24" now bc my friend had the same prob where they were both 24" and one weas bigger

[errant edge]

24" is length

Not height

[fleet cloud]

oh gotcha

[errant edge]

You'd have to measure yours and check dimensions on the Amazon listing

[fleet cloud]

my monitor rn is 11" 3/8

height

which is the heighty

Item dimensions (length x width x height): 21.59 inches x 7.02 inches x 15.83 inches

thats what it says in the description

bc for my second monitor I want it like this

[errant edge]

Wait

Then why tf does it have to be the same height

If it'll be vertical mounted

[fleet cloud]

o ya

true dat

my b

i forgot

k well ill get that monitor lmao

[spring tapir]

g27qc or g27cq4?

nvm its out of stock

[fading wyvern]

Lol just get the lg 27inch 1440p 950 or w.e the name is… god monitor names

[spring tapir]

i cant make up my mind

im struggling between getting 240hz or 165hz and just overclocking it to just 200hz with nvidia control panel

[versed sonnet]

If you have the money I'd go for 240hz

[raw ingot]

ocing isn't always so lucky

[spring tapir]

nvm imma get 165hz

i want a curved monitor

the only curved 240hz i could find was too curved

looked funky

[quartz sandal]

Only useful for ppl who play competitive games really

[versed sonnet]

Indeed

[quartz sandal]

And if you're going 240hz you wont be going 1440p soo

[wild coral]

freaking tf out#6540 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

freaking tf out#6540 has been kicked

Reason: Too many infractions

[spring tapir]

lmao

[fading wyvern]

Hey man any chance you know anyone with either type of monitor or live near a micro center just to go in person and try to tell the difference? Personally I have a TN 1080p 240hz and a IPS 1440p 165hz monitor, the difference in refresh rate is minimal. I do notice less ghosting on the 1080p panel though. Like going for the super high refresh is just like peak diminishing returns… you barely notice it

For reference my monitors are: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/viewsonic/elite-xg270qg ……. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/hp/omen-x-25f

[hot zephyr]

How would one combine a bunch (well, two in my case) S-Video signals into one?

I want to hook up my gamecube and SNES to the same S-video to HDMI converter. Both have S-video outputs.
I can't seem to find a single automatic S-video switch which ships to France for less than double the item price.

[quartz sandal]

Just get another converter to hdmi and switch between the hdmi inputs

[hot zephyr]

That's another device to power which heats up a lot. Also those only have VGA out. I'd rather feed one S-video input into the video converter

What if I use an S-video splitter.. backwards? https://www.tvcables.co.uk/S-Video-Splitter.html?awc=851_1628438454_191e4031ee1bd76dbb24b4a390b8c89e

Plug the two consoles into those two ends, and the single end into the VGA converter.

[spring tapir]

i live near a microcenter

its like 20mins away

what bout Best Buy

[misty gyro]

Best buy employees couldn't even tell you the difference between oled and tn panels.

Every once in a while you find a knowledgeable one but they're rare. Even geek squad usually just runs automated tools.

[errant edge]

so i accidentally alt tabbed and apparently pressed smthn when i went to my home screen

now all my short cuts switched to my left monitor instead of my main

how can i change it back?

[misty gyro]

Shortcuts as in desktop icons or quick launch icons at the bottom? Desktop icons are just drag and drop, quick launch is a little more involved. You go into nvidia control panel under "set up multiple displays" and right click your main monitor and hit "set as primary". You can rearrange displays as needed while you're in there.

[errant edge]

Short cuts as in desktop icons, with what you said I'm guessing there's a hotkey to set a monitor as your main one

[misty gyro]

Probably but I don't know it by memory

[errant edge]

I had my main one set as my main monitor using windows display settings

So I'll check there

Nah its still my main display

I really don't wanna drag all like 60 of them over

I had to organize it anyways lol

[leaden pasture]

So I’m having an issue with my MSI Optix G27. I hooked up an HDMI to A/V converter so I could play my GameCube. However when I turn on the console and the monitor it only shows no DP signal, and then goes into sleep mode.

[leaden pasture]

So I’m a dumb dumb and didn’t realize that it was a HDMI to A/V even though I typed it out...

[fair plover]

Which do you all think is the first upgrade? Processor?(i5-8400, max for mobo is i7-9700) GPU? (GTX 1070) or monitor to 1440p? (Current 1080p 144. I play Warzone around 100fps, looking forward to Battlefield 2042, Diablo 4, maybe some Halo Infinite.

[dusty island]

I feel like you won’t notice an enormous difference in 1080p vs 1440p. GPU are dummy expensive currently. You could upgrade cpu but it’s kinda just based on what you wanna do and how much money you’re willing to spend in the long run

https://youtu.be/JK7lddWPZ1Y

You’ve got a decent pc as it stands though, so unless you’re just wanting to have the best of the best, you should be solid

For a while, at least

[errant edge]

For that pc I'd say gpu

1440p I'd say you'd want a 2070 or better minimum

[fair plover]

Thanks! I am def not able to afford high end. All this is in a Dell Inspiron 3670. I’ve alway been curious about 1440p. But at the time my MSI OPTIX mag24 was just over $100 on Mercari. Couldn’t pass up the 144htz.

[errant edge]

8400 you could probably go up to a 2070s with that without much of an issue

2070s/3060/5700xt anything around that

Though if you plan to upgrade to a 9700 in the future that'd be fine for even a 3070 ti, but that's also overkill for 1080p

[fair plover]

We’ll look at my favorite streamer who has a 3090 and was playing Warzone 1080p. Lol he just recently got his first 1440p monitor. Supposedly first. Lol

He had a BenQ 1080p 240htz, but I never saw his Warzone FPS go over 150. He must have had graphics turned all the way up.

[errant edge]

Warzone is AWFULLY optimized

[fair plover]

Hey that’s true too

[errant edge]

I get around 150 fps at max settings (no ray tracing) at 1080p with my 3060 to

Ti

[fair plover]

They say dlss helped

[errant edge]

Keep in mind, you dont need 240fps to get the benefit of 240hz

It still shows the image more often

[fair plover]

I think I do pretty good with 110ish. But it’s barely medium.

[errant edge]

60fps at 240 hz is better than 144hz

[fair plover]

Hmm

Im trying to understand your last statement. Newbie here

[errant edge]

So basically

Refresh rate is how often the image refreshes

So the picture will update faster with the higher refresh rate

[fair plover]

So better monitor specs trump…

[errant edge]

So 60fps still updates faster at 240 hz

Most people don't need 240hz

It's only really for competitive gamers

[fair plover]

So 60 FPS will look better on a high refresh monitor than it will on a 60 htz tv or monitor

[errant edge]

Yes

[fair plover]

True especially first person shooters.

[errant edge]

However

165hz is enough for most people

It's what I use

[fair plover]

So between 1080p 240 monitor getting 60fps. And a 1440p 60 monitor getting same 60fps. Which would look better?

[errant edge]

Ok first off

Whats your budget for upgrades overall?

[fair plover]

I’m thinking 1440p would LOOK better, but depends on your need

[errant edge]

For you, id say stay on your 1080p 144. Atleast for now

I wouldn't run 1440p gaming on anything under a 2070

[fair plover]

Oh nothing right now. Just being curious. And learning thanks to you.

Understood!

[errant edge]

I run 1080 on my 3060 ti

I'd say upgrade cpu and gpu first, gpu being before cpu imo

[spring tapir]

if you have anything underneath 27 inches u dont need 1440p

youll also be getting less fps with 1440p

anything above a 3060 should get 1440p

[quartz sandal]

What games will you be playing, what specs you have and what region

[fading wyvern]

But the real answer to any display question is: M27q.

[quartz sandal]

Well m27q bad pricing in eu

Also lower end systems

Msi g241/2

[fading wyvern]

Well the hp x24ih is pretty noice when its on sale 2... not to mention tht other 1080p budget monitor

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/acer/nitro-xf243y-pbmiiprx this one

[quartz sandal]

insert monitor naming headbash comic

[spring tapir]

what bout g27qc

its bascically a curved m27q

[quartz sandal]

Believe it's also va

[fading wyvern]

IPS>VA>TN

OLED is in its own category for now until it shows up in monitors

[spring tapir]

dang its va

[fading wyvern]

Generally any curved monitor is going to be a VA

[quartz sandal]

Aye, although depending on who you are you might not tell the diff between va and ips

Curved ips is dummy expensive

[hazy warren]

if i wanted to a monitor stack set up is it better to try and find a triple monitor mount or just get a dual mount and a single

itll be 2 27s and a 24 ultrawide

34*

[misty gyro]

Depending on the horizontal size of the ultrawide, there might not be a triple mount that would fit that

[hazy warren]

i see

prolly just safer to go with a single and dual then

[errant edge]

Not really

Not to mention having a smaller screen size with 1440p just means it looks better

I've got a 22in 1440p and it looks great

[karmic jasper]

Helo every one i ordered 2 m27q and they have green stuck pixel is there are any fix for it or do i have to return it?

hello""""

i'v tried the youtube vids for half a hour and jscreen fix website and it didnt work

[steel ridge]

You would have to return it

[karmic jasper]

so there is no fix for it?

No

What's the best 34" 1440p monitor? Under 1k

[visual pilot]

Why 34in? You want ultrawide?

[brave shuttle]

I just got two monitors, one is in portrait mode and one is in landscape, i set it up so the mouse goes evenly across the screen but it only works when it’s in the middle if I go to the bottom of my one monitor the mouse is too high on the second monitor but if I go to the top the mouse is to low on the second one

[fading wyvern]

Probably a resolution difference

[celest lark]

if someone wanted 6 monitors hypothetically and had 4 ports on their pc how would you connect 6 monitors to that pc?

[fading wyvern]

Yeah don’t need the 240hz version though so I linked the 120hz

They both are 1080 x 1920

Idk it’s not that much of a problem thanks for the help tho

[quartz sandal]

That's just how different sized monitors is

It's a pita but yee

[hazy warren]

im debating wether getting 3 m27s or just 2 of them and a ultrawide

[low cedar]

I am a computer science college student and I was wondering how beneficial a portrait monitor is for working on computer programs, anyone have experience with this? I have worked on square monitors before but it felt like the biggest benefit was the ability to fit two in the limited desk space (was in a classroom setting) instead of 1. Is this the same for portrait or does the ability to view more lines of code end up helping?

[misty gyro]

It depends on what language you're coding in. A lot of them have shorter lines that would benefit from being able to see more lines, but some have longer lines that have to wrap around through the next line or 4 for a single command (java 😫)

[quartz sandal]

Java sucks when not using like 80% of the display

[civic jackal]

does anyone know the differences between lg 27a-b and the g27q

[fading wyvern]

Manufacturer and refresh rate. The gsync on the lg is just Nvidia saying yeah it works. The gigabyte model will also work with gsync. If you're trying to decide between the 2 of them just buy gigabytes M27q instead. Ah another thing LG manufactures their own screens so if something happens to a LG monitor its likely they'll have a much better repair/return policy... on that note though Amazons return policy is great. For a deeper dive here's a comparison between the m27q and the a-b https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/lg-27gl83a-b-vs-gigabyte-m27q/1627/19668?usage=3623&threshold=0.10

[fading wyvern]

Lg is a excellent company

[sick canyon]

should i buy monitor off newegg or amazon guy

[quartz sandal]

The cheaper one

[visual pilot]

Depends on price and shipping, also if it's a third party seller

Third party seller, either way, you can be screwed

I'd much rather pay 100$ on Newegg for something than 120$ on Amazon for the same item given free shipping

Prime is a separate concern, if you have prime, and your purchase is time sensitive, Amazon might be the better option.

[fading wyvern]

And if it’s even more time sensitive if your local bestbuy has the same monitor in stock you can ask them to price match it off of either Amazon or Newegg

[sick canyon]

its in stock on asus web, is it better if i get it off there

[feral igloo]

ANY GOOD 4K monitor suggestions?

[fading wyvern]

Any price ranges? I know gigabyte just launched their 4K monitor for much cheaper

[feral igloo]

like

under 500

cheap as possible

[fading wyvern]

https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Monitor/M28U

Not sure where it’s on sale but it’s been well received so far

It’ll probably be going on sale soon @feral igloo think it’s literally at $500

Just as a follow up that will 1000% be one of the best value 4K monitors

Hdmi 2.1 ez resale to console users and 4K 144hz

[feral igloo]

any other suggestions?

looks dope but i want multiple options

[fading wyvern]

That’s my only suggestion at this time, cheapest gaming grade monitor I can think of that’s 4K. Most of everything else value wise is not that great 🤷‍♂️

If it’s a urgent need go ahead and grab whatever but that display is a value grab whenever it goes to market @feral igloo

[feral igloo]

[wild python]

Hey guys is wallmounting my monitor a good idea

And if so what is the best option

[fading wyvern]

do u own the house ur in?

[wild python]

Yes

Lol

[fading wyvern]

go for it if u want a floating look

but for just easy clean setups id say go for a standard desk mount

[quartz sandal]

Just getting an arm that clips to your desk seems like a lot less of a pita

[misty gyro]

And doing this you still get the benefit of extra desk space

[wild python]

Do you have any suggestions?

For wall mounting

Cause my monitor tilts over a little bit

[quartz sandal]

Idk any specific ones just make sure it can hold enough weight

[errant edge]

Why get two high refresh rate monitors?

[fading wyvern]

Why not… smooth is nice

[sullen goblet]

What should I do first when my monitor sometimes acts weird when I turn it on?

Like I'll turn my PC on and the 1st monitor will turn on fine but the 2nd monitor will turn on, go black, show static for a second, show the desktop and then repeat that again until I unplug the HDMI cable and plug it back in

Do I need a new HDMI cable?

It also does that when I use the monitor with my PS4. It'll just go black and show static and then go back to the PS4 for a bit until it does it again.

[misty gyro]

Factory reset the monitor and see if that helps

If not try different cables

[sullen goblet]

I didn't know you can factory reset monitors

I'll try that

[misty gyro]

It's in your monitor settings OSD

[sullen goblet]

No, that didn't fix it. It still does the static and black screen thing when I switch inputs.

Guess my HDMI cable is bad

[carmine bloom]

Do people actually buy open box displays? 🤷‍♂️

[misty gyro]

Yes
I bought an open box monitor in 2012 from best buy (floor model) and I'm still using it every day

Well, it was a TV but I used it as a monitor

[carmine bloom]

Is 899 a good deal for a 1100$ monitor?

[fading wyvern]

Eh not when the m28u is coming out

Or m32u

[carmine bloom]

Are those better? That's QLED 43" 4k 144hz with HDMI 2.1 (for the new consoles)

Also should probably keep in mind this is for a racing simulator, so the 28" monitor and a 32" monitor while they have HDR might not be the best for my experience lol

I'd prefer an Ultra wide though of course

[fading wyvern]

Eh just price wise it makes sense to me, 4K 144hz hdmi 2.1 as well but for half the price

If it’s for a simulator though it would make sense to get the much larger 43 inch

https://youtu.be/xnJjuQdQiyo it’s $600 @feral igloo

False advertising on my part

[feral igloo]

Ingot the m27q

[fading wyvern]

Ah 1440p is great

[carmine bloom]

Are there any really good ultrawide monitors in that price range?

[fading wyvern]

At the top end at just over 1k u could get the 120hz Samsung g9 https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-49-inch-Odyssey-FreeSync-LC49G95TSSNXZA/dp/B07L9HCJ2V/ref=asc_df_B088HH6LW5/?

That would cover your simulator needs extremely well

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DWD38VX?tag=rtings-mn-r-20&ie=UTF8 for a more regular ultrawide

[carmine bloom]

So, going by pixel count, 3840x2160 is more pixels than the 5120x1440p and since it's a smaller screen the density is also higher?

So the benefit of ultrawide is the fov? Right?

[visual pilot]

yes

Is this a good channel to ask about what the best cable to run for video is? I’m currently using HDMI but I’m wondering if there’s a better method for better picture/frames, etc. I have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER - 8GB GDDR6 GPU and a LG 29UM50 - P monitor.

[visual pilot]

Well, displayport will have more bandwidth for hdmi, for example, that monitor has a DP 1.2 port, and a HDMI 1.4 port, while DP 1.2 can support 1080p240hz natively, hdmi 1.4 only supports up to 1080p144hz natively, DP 1.2 can support 1440p165hz natively, while hdmi 1.4 can only support up to 1440p75hz natively, etc.

Of course, all that changes is the amount of bandwidth, it doesn't just make the picture look better, that depends on your monitor and GPU, and unless your current cable is just broken, or don't have enough bandwidth, a new cable won't do too much.

[tall drum]

Oh alright thanks. Maybe it’s the cable. I recently moved my setup and the one I was using (Monster- everything looked great) no longer reaches so I had to use an older (Rocketfish) cable and now the colors look really bad, but that might be snobby. They’re fine, just a lot darker, not as crisp as it was with the previous cable so I was going to buy a new one that’s longer and wasn’t sure if I should even stay on the HDMI route.

[tall drum]

Anyone have recommendations on a “best” HDMI?

[visual pilot]

The cable only carries the bandwidth, and the cable can only carry as much bandwidth as the ports have, and since your monitor has a hdmi 1.4 port, although it's backwards compatible, so you can use a hdmi 2.0 cable, it should work no different when you get to hdmi 1.4 and above.

[tall drum]

So as long as it’s 1.4 or higher, it shouldn’t matter which brand I go with?

[visual pilot]

The rest of it is common sense, a 50 cent cable isn't gonna last long, and a 5000$ cable won't help with performance

[tall drum]

Got it. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

[muted cosmos]

Hey guys I got a question. My friend who plays console wants a monitor. It is a Xbox one so no 4K and uses HDMI obviously. I know good monitors for PC but not for console because there is no need for 144Hz+ monitor for a console. Any suggestions?

[maiden wedge]

Anyone know if there will be more 4K 144 ha monitors in the future because of the new console or any under 600$

[misty gyro]

In the near future sure but there's still no GPU that will run modern games at 4k high fps like that. Under $600 though? Not likely to happen in the next few years, these are super-premium panels.

[carmine bloom]

1080p upscaled to 4k 🤷‍♂️

TVs + consoles do that and it's actually working fairly well for the most part now especially with the OLEDS

[visual pilot]

@misty gyro M28U is 4k144hz for 600$

[errant edge]

You don't need high frame rate to get the benefit of high refresh rate

I will never understand why people say that

It still updates more often

[misty gyro]

28 inch 4k is ridiculous pixel density, I'll never recommend that to anyone that sits more than 6 inches from the screen.

I'm aware there's still some benefit to higher refresh, especially with freesync, but you might as well get a much cheaper panel imo.

[errant edge]

Why? It just makes images higher quality, I have a 22in 1440p monitor that I like just bc of how nice things look

I use my 144hz 1080p for gaming but the 1440p is nice for school and such

[errant edge]

Yes I've seen that before, but it just makes no sense

If you want things to look nice than a higher pixel density is fine

[misty gyro]

If the screen is closer sure you can kinda tell but all I'm saying is the average human eye couldn't tell the difference at normal view distance

[errant edge]

I have a 1050p, 1080p, and 1440p, discord is usually on the 1050p but the other day I brought it over to my 1440p, it looks sooooo much better

I'm like a foot away?

1.5ft maybe?

[misty gyro]

That's less than your arm's length distance then? You're sitting closer than average

[errant edge]

I'm not too sure I'd have to check to see exactly how mhch

It could be more

[misty gyro]

1.5 ft is probably about the length of your elbow to your fingers

[errant edge]

My face is a bit more than 2ft away

I'm not great at judging distance

[quartz sandal]

Think that graph needs adjusting, i have a 24" 1080p and sit about 50cm from my display, still can't see pixels

[visual pilot]

It's a monitor, not a TV.

For a PC, I doubt you're sitting further than like .5m away from your monitor

[fading wyvern]

Just gunna also point out there’s a m32u not sure how expensive it is but hey… 4K 144hz at 32”

[misty gyro]

A lot more than $600, that's how much. Likely around $750 once you can buy it.

[spring tapir]

Do yall know any ips curved 1440p 240hz monitors?

[quartz sandal]

Nope all va and stupid expensive

Why would you even want 1440p 240hz, just get like 144-165hz or something imo only 240hz if playing esports and you wouldn't be doing that at 1440p or curved

[torpid fossil]

Hi guys! For a gtx 1660 super should I get 1080p monitor 144hz or 1440p 144hz?

[fading wyvern]

Stick with a 1080p you’ll have a much better experience across multiple games. Although… if you plan on getting a gpu upgrade anytime in the near future you could always grab a 1440p display and just reduce the resolution manually.
