Thereā€™s three options really MSI g241/g242, hp x24ih and Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx (had to look tht one up)

#

The nitro should be the cheapest

The acer nitro here in my place is not available :(

Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx vs HP X24ih Side-by-Side Monitor Comparison

The Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx is a better gaming monitor than theĀ HP X24ih. The Acer's 144Hz native refresh rate can be overclocked to 165Hz, which the HP can't do. The Acer has much better ergonomics than the HP, making it easierĀ to place the screen in an ideal viewing position. Lastly, the Acer supports HDR, while the HP doesn't, but it doesn...

What about the aoc 24g2? Is it great?

onyx moat
#

whats the difference between HLG, ST.2084 and BT.1886 gamma settings?

warped night
#

I mean... What is there to explain?

#

It switches the USB inputs that you put on the monitor, and switches the device it's taking graphical input from.

#

If you want a scientific way of knowing how it works, that's beyond me.

sage trail
#

USB C on monitors that support KVM use the cable for a ton of different protocols. when you plug the cable into a laptop, it attaches the display and all devices plugged into the USB ports on the monitor to the laptop.

#

so you plug keyboard and mouse into monitor, monitor acts as usb hub

#

using the USB C cable attaches that hub to laptop, whereas normally it attaches to a desktop through the USB B cable

fading wyvern
#

It seems like that monitor only has a dvi and vga port? Iā€™d suggest grabbing a new cheap one or plugging in to a tvs hdmi port to find out if your pc is running.

#

Nice

#

Itā€™s probably just due to the older standard on that monitor. Can be super finicky especially with new gpus. If you need any monitor suggestions make sure to askā€¦ or look up stuff on rtings

#

What kind of gpu are you using?

#

Iā€™d only really suggest using a 1440p display if youā€™re using anything better then a 1080ti aka 2080(kinda equivalent), 2080s, 3060ti, 3070ā€¦ etc. besides that the M27q is a great monitor

you mean M27q

Okay I think I figured out ur gpuā€¦ it looks like a zotac 3070 twin edge ocā€¦ get the gigabyte M27q

Hello wonderful people. I know you guys get asked this everyday but can I get a couple of good recommendations. Gonna be running a 3060ti gonna be gaming on it. Also any recommendations for a basic second monitor?

quartz sandal
#

Cheapest one thats the size you want

errant edge
#

For the main one

#

The second doesn't matter

cobalt blaze
errant edge
#

Then 1080p would be fine if you want to spend less, if you want higher image quality 1440p

#

But definitely 120hz or higher

#

I'm not too sure on exact models, @quartz sandal you have any suggestions?

cobalt blaze
#

It says itā€™s a 280hz 1ms 27inch.

quartz sandal
#

Ohh sorry

errant edge
#

Do you play competitively?

quartz sandal
#

Did you want a main and side reccomdenation

#

Ahh i cant spell

errant edge
#

280hz is overkill for anyone who doesn't play comp

#

I cant tell the difference between 144hz and 280hz

cobalt blaze
#

Just a main is fine Iā€™ll just find a side off Facebook or eBay. Kinda competitive not a lot though.

If you don't play first person shooters/esports just 144hz

I should prolly get a dp cable for my second monitor to see if I can oc it any higher

Itd be nice to play 1440p 100hz

Maybe more if I'm lucky

cobalt blaze
#

The asus one has a long delay on Amazon would the 0.5 with adjustable height be the same? That one doesnā€™t have a delay on it

quartz sandal
#

Ignore grey to grey latency

#

It's marketing

The 0.5ms one is TN instead of ips which would be a downgrade

Itā€™s more expensive but Iā€™d atleast be able to get it soon

yeah there isn't much from what I can tell, plus anyone who does have opinions (reddit) say the G242 has lower contrast and colors, but less motion blur hence its better for Gaming.

What resolution are you looking for?

@warped night Idk , whats a good resolution? My current one is 165 i think

warped night

That's not a resolution.

That's a refresh rate

Curved Monitors aren't all they are cracked up to be.

Is there any really cheap 144hz monitor?

How cheap

warped night
#

Because lower than 150 there really isn't anything other than Used monitors.

trail mauve
#

No kidding.

#

There are even still some expensive 1080 monitors.

#

Usually the bigger ones.

warped night
#

Yeah, but if you are buying a 1080p monitor larger than 24" you are just dumb.

#

Because the pixel density at any size higher than 24" is hot trash for 1080p

trail mauve
#

Hehe I actually have a use for big 1080 monitors.

#

Theyā€™re cheaper than 4K and meant to be viewed > 10 ft away.

#

But not more than 25.

warped night
#

A 27" 1080p monitor has a pixel density of about 81 ppi

#

While a 24" 1080p has ~92ppi

quartz sandal

Lowest price on a high refresh according to pcpp is 159 zowie one

But I need muh big screen

But in reality itā€™s to please propel that think bigger = better.

Oh, wow. 1440p at 27" has a ppi of around 108

I also have to use VGA on it.

fading wyvern
#

Ah thatā€™s a issue

trail mauve
#

Yeah itā€™s def a pain.

#

It doesnā€™t help that companies are making their screens thinner and removing vesa mounting screws.

Or moving them in awkward positions.

Like towards the bottom of a screen.

Yeah, I really need to get a more adjustable monitor mount for my next pair of screens.

Which reminds me, I gotta go buy more screens today. Smaller ones with vga. My coworker screwed up, bought ones with weird mounting screws, and without VGA.

Drove 2 hours for nothing.

Just convert DVI to VGA

Done

trail mauve

Didnā€™t have any adapters at the time.

90% of monitors come with DVI

And nowhere to buy them.

Oh those didnā€™t.

trail mauve

They had HDMI and DP.

warped night

DP to VGA should be fine

trail mauve

Yeah, but I meant at the time.

Like I couldnā€™t buy them anywhere at that moment

Youā€™d think BB would have adapters right?

Amazon has everything my guy.

Nope.

Normally they do. I've seen DP to VGA at BB before.

None. Because 240hz is almost placebo even for normal people

I would just stick to 165 at most.

the benefits of 1440p over 1080p are significantly larger than the benefits of 240hz over 144hz

fading wyvern
raw ingot

it's not 240hz, 170 but 240 is basically not a need for most

warped night

The answer for most people is M27Q

I wish I had the money for a new GPU and an M27Q

misty gyro

Except for me, who decided a cheaper, curved G27QC was worth

Not like it's bad bin, just power starved

2x 8 pin so there's literally 3080s that can supply more power

I really should shunt mod this thing...

Once I get moar powa

ornate cloud
warped night
sage trail
#

just noticing it doesn't make it worth it for the majority of people of course

m27q at 170 is simply good enough

warped night

That and you have to consistiently HIT 240 FPS for it's effects to really exist.

sage trail
#

not really, not when gsync works it's magic

#

and when you have 3080 like me O_O

warped night
#

And realistically, unless you are playing A. CS:GO or B. A really old game or C. Valorant. or D. You have a 3080 or 3090 and are playing at 1080p

#

You aren't hitting 240hz in most titles.

sage trail
#

overwatch max settings gets me 270

#

siege max settings with quality dlss gets me 300

#

at 1440p

#

nearly every game I've played so far on my new GPU and monitor has hit 240+ with minor settings adjustments

warped night
#

Ok, I guess I could refine my statement to A. E-Sports Titles B. Really old AAA Titles or C. You have a 3080/3090 at 1080p

sage trail
#

except MW 2019, that game just poorly optimized on the cpu side

#

once again, all the titles I'm playing hit 240hz with ease at 1440p

#

not 1080p šŸ˜‹

#

I would still agree with you that anything past the m27q is stupid hard to justify

#

hated cold war multiplayer, campaign fun tho

cold war zombies buggy still

does the game still crash after a while

Hi. Looking for a good 1080p gaming monitor. Those are my current runner ups. Dell Alienware 25 Gaming IPS AW2521HFL 24.5

Which one should I choose? Or do you recommend something else?

ornate cloud
warped night
#

I'd work on mechanical aim first before upgrading your gear.

ornate cloud
#

what is wrong with upgrading my gear while at the same time working on to improve my aim? I am Gold and will hit Plat in the near future, I just want a better fps since iā€™ve tried valorant on my friendsā€™s 240hz monitor

sick plume
#

He tends to force his opinions on others

sage trail
#

however, 240hz in most cases is overkill

#

most people will hardly notice it over something like 170hz

ornate cloud
#

True, but since i can hit 240fps+ consistently, itā€™s worth it imo to upgrade to a 240hz to take advantage of it

sage trail
#

it's not necessary worth it

ornate cloud
#

But i do notice the difference between 144 and 240

sage trail
#

its a matter of if your eyes care about the difference of seeing those additional 70 frames each second

warped night
#

I think if you had a couple of weeks or months with it, you probably wouldn't.

sick plume
warped night
#

You are likely experiencing a bit of "first time use bias"

#

You know the number is bigger, so you expect it to be better, therefore you think it's actually better.

#

When, in reality it might not actually be a major difference to your eyes.

#

I made the jump from 144hz to 165hz and... I basically can't tell the difference.

sage trail
#

I couldn't tell the diff

#

no one could

warped night
#

Going from 60 to 144 is a big difference. When I went from 144hz to 165hz... It's pretty hard to tell.

sick plume
#

Especially because diminishing returns

sage trail
sick plume
sage trail

imagine going from 60 to 75

Oh wow, explaining all that just to say 144 vs 165. This is easy, Iā€™ll just get off discord for now and find a cheap 240hz myself because skiptrace likes to order people around when they are asking simple questions when he obviously isnā€™t ā€œFuwaā€

sick plume
#

Its noticeable

warped night
#

I mean, I wouldn't bother buying a cheap 240hz. Because then you will get Ghosting and Coronas and other garbage.

#

Cheap 240hz is gonna look worse than a quality 144hz or 165hz panel.

my 250 y25-25 240hz monitor had none of that

Skiptrace moment

Skiptrace moment

warped night

šŸ–•

#

At the very least, do some amount of research and see if the monitor you are looking for has any Inverse Ghosting (Color banding when high motion is on screen) and make sure you can adjust the Overdrive setting when FreeSync or G-Sync is active.

#

I didn't do the 2nd part, and I can't use FreeSync on the monitor I bought because it forces the highest Overdrive setting when FreeSync is enabled, which has hella Inverse Ghosting...

sick plume
#

Skiptrace a small tip for ya

#

Stick to what you know.

warped night
#

I mean, I do know about monitors.

sick plume
#

Dont try advising people on things you donā€™t know all t hat much about

You dont have to know everything

I know that for around 90% of people 240hz is excessive and probably won't give a good Return On Investment.

Most people can't tell the difference beyond about 165hz

sick plume
warped night
#

Literally your own eyeballs. Go spend a month with a 144hz, a month with 165hz, and a month with 240hz. If you can tell the difference, then I'd be hella shocked.

sage trail
#

most people I've talked to do find 240hz to be unnoticable

warped night
#

Since nobody seems to actually do any real scientific experiments with this, the only thing I have to go off of is the LTT slow-mo video with Shroud.

sage trail
#

it's kinda just a pretty commonly accepted fact that most people just can't tell after 120

warped night
#

And, while 360hz (the peak they tested) did have a small but noticable benefit over 144hz, the price delta just isn't justifiable for 90% of people.

#

If you are an E-Sports Professional, then go for the moon on your monitor's refresh rate.

#

If you aren't. I'd stick to getting a Higher Resolution 144hz or 165hz panel.

#

You'll see a more noticeable difference in quality there.

#

Going from a 1080p 144hz to say, a M27Q will give you a bigger benefit.

#

The M27Q also is like, 170hz so. There's at least a marginal benefit in hz there too.

sage trail
#

I tend to lump 120-170hz all in the same category as something every gamer should have, with 240+ being an exception for the few who care enough.

ornate cloud
warped night
#

It isn't really a false claim. And... Nobody fully knows the limits of the human eye when it comes to refresh rate due to it being a science that nobody is bothering to do real scientific experiments with.

#

Here's the raw data from LTT's reaction time test.

#

With a slow motion camera.

#

Shroud of all people did WORSE with a 240hz monitor

ornate cloud
warped night
#

The only people who did better, were the 2 normie gamers.

Yeah, that's gonna look pretty bad up close.

sage trail

would suggest either hunting for a 24inch, or set the monitor far away from your face

The pixel density is super rough at 27" 1080p

Sassy, don't you have an M27Q?

If you have a 3070 or above you could probably push 1440p 240hz in Valorant.

sage trail
#

oh yeah, that one

warped night
#

IDK if a 3060 could do it.

sage trail
#

that's my old one

ornate cloud
#

1440p is unnecessary for me and my graphics card cannot handle 240 on 1440

sage trail
#

it was good, but the one I had was sadly defective from the get go

#

if you get one that isn't broken when you receive it, it's pretty good

warped night
#

I mean, in Valorant which is stupidly well optimized, your GPU probably COULD run at least 200hz 1440p

#

What GPU is it?

ornate cloud
#

2060

#

It runs 300+ fps on my 1080p monitor rn

warped night
#

I'd say you could probably hit ~200 FPS at 1440p

#

But, that's just an educated guess.

sage trail
#

ehh, just stick with 24" 1080p 240hz

#

that y25-25 is a good one for the price

ornate cloud
#

it says it has freesync tho

warped night
#

There's one person on youtube that did a video with a 2060 at 1080p and 1440p, and he was easily getting 200+ FPS at 1440p Ultra

#

In the action he got around 180

ornate cloud
#

wanted G-sync but then idk if rtx2060 works with Freesync

warped night
#

It does.

#

G-Sync is... all but dead.

ornate cloud
sage trail
#

if you're wondering, every freesync monitor is gsync compatible

#

that is not a gsync monitor

#

it is however, gsync compatible, which is honestly all you need

just like every other freesync monitor

#

regardless, it is a fine monitor

So I have a question. Looking for a new display and my choices are the Aorus FV43U and FO48U
Upgrading from an Acer XB273K
Brightness is super important but so is contrast, both are 120hz, the 43" is HDR1000 certified and the 48" is an OLED with a high contrast ratio, help!!!! lol

warped night
#

I wouldn't buy the OLED

#

OLED for a Monitor is not an ideal solution

#

Why do you need HDR1000 for a PC display?

#

Are you doing color critical work?

#

HDR on most Games is... a lackluster experience right now until Windows 11 comes out.

ripe stump
#

Ok, so...
I am a game designer, developer and game enthusiast.
I run a 3090 with the 10900k so I know I can run high end graphics.
I guess the color would come in on my models, props and environment design.

The difference is this OLED is a monitor, 120hz, 1.4 DP and KVM as well

#

Well, both have KVM...so thats kinda moot lol

warped night
#

OLED for a Monitor isn't good though.

#

Because Static Images will burn it out easier.

#

Honestly, unless you are a AAA developer, creating an HDR-centric experience is almost a moot idea.

#

You would be better off buying a High Refresh Rate display, and a separate High Color Accuracy display (99% DCI-P3)

#

One for creating color accurate Models, and one for testing gameplay at high refresh rates.

Hi all. I am looking for a monitor that is VA, 144hz minimum, 27", free sync compatible, 1440p, 1ms or lower and has 2 hdmi 2.0 ports. Would anyone know of such a monitor?

fading wyvern
maiden wedge
#

I want to use it for many things. Play games, watch movies etc.. So I want something for everything

#

But I am not a big tech head so maybe it doesn't even really matter and I just think it does

fading wyvern
#

IPS is generally good for all of that. Generally VA is used in curved monitors typically itā€™s got good contrast but mediocre everything else. Right now IPS>VA>TN

#

Iā€™d suggest looking at the M27q

maiden wedge
#

Alright thanks. I saw many other IPS's but I didn't think they would be good

ripe stump
maiden wedge
#

Thanks I'll check it out

fading wyvern

IPS has great color reproduction and excellent pixel response times. The M27q just happens to be great bang for the buck

300 usd 170hz 1440p and 91% color accurate out of the box without calibration

It looks very good indeed thank you again for the recommendation

M27q is great

M27Q is like, the overall "best" 1440p 27" monitor for just about everything.

Does anybody know how to get a more accurate cursor transition from one monitor to the other, like in this video, at the bottom the cursor transitions perfectly, but at the top its higher for some reason (sorry for phone video, screen records wasnt showing the problem)

Could it be that the monitors are different resolutions?

#

Or different sizes?

Size

blazing yoke

for context
the one on the left is vertical, 27" 1080p

sadge, it is what it is tho

quartz sandal

its kinda both since like pixel size aka the size of your cursor and like the actual size of the screen. It's mostly screen size though

another issue is windows looks at ur screens by the resolution and not the size of the screen.

screen 2 is a 27inch 1 is a 25inch and the third is a projector at like 100inch

Hi guys, my aw2518h monitor randomly went completely white and whenever i turn it on/off its just a white screen, I checked if there was something wrong with the PC, but it works completely fine on another tv and i unplugged the DP and was still left with a white screen on my monitor.

I recently got a new monitor it is a LG 27GN750-B the monitor has worked great so far up until I have tried to use the audio port on the back, when I do try and use this port I get very quiet sound and dialogue in things like games and youtube is non existent does anyone know how to fix this issue?

warped night

That's the solution.

#

It's got a crappy DAC and Amplifier.

Sadly the reason why I was going to use the audio port was for my ps3

I guess I may just pickup an old cheap tv and use that

Just buy some Mackie Studio Monitors and an HDMI Audio Separator

Mackie Studio Monitors are excellent!

And they are fairly small

Sure they do.

They are only like, 120 bucks, and sound better than the cheap AF Logitech crap.

99 bucks for the Black ones, and they even have a front headphone jack to boot.

The next best option is the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1, and it's 139.99 when not on Sale.

celest lark
#

if I have 4 display ports on my gpu currently and wanted 6 monitors

#

how would one achieve that

misty gyro
#

Most GPUs can only support 3-4 displays

#

So unless you have both a GPU and an iGPU it'll be difficult at best

Just make sure gaming monitor connected to the good gpu

celest lark
#

yup

loud patrol
#

Bad psu can br one of the factors of random blackscreens, right?

sage trail
#

depends on what you mean by that

#

like, the screen goes black for a second or two every once in a while

#

or does the system just hardstop with a black screen

#

if the PSU being bad has an effect on the system, it would be a catastrophic effect

loud patrol
#

Either completely says "no signal", or getting multiple ones but goes back again

sage trail
#

so the system recovers without your intervention?

#

or fails to start? I guess I'm a bit lost

loud patrol
#

Mainly just the monitor showing the problem

#

I got my aunt's bf to check it up since he's also the one who build it, that's at least what he think the problem is

#

Sometimes it goes black and never reconnects again, sometimes it just blinks to blackscreen then goes back again

sage trail
#

so the system is being used, and it goes black for how many seconds? then recovers itself

#

or

#

stays black until you cold kill the system

#

or a mixture of both

#

which is what you are saying is the case

#

sounds like a potential GPU/driver issue to me

#

if it were psu, I don't think the system would ever recover

#

under any circumstance

loud patrol
#

Alr then, i'll try to find the gpu drivers if the ones it alr has isn't great

#

Gotta find a driver of a 8yo card kekw

#

Maybe i should reunite with that person who offered me a free 980ti thinkies

#

I agree With switching out the cord

loud patrol
#

Nope, i also thought that it could be the vga cord being the problem, but anyways he brought a spare psu instead lol

fading wyvern
#

Lol alright just dive at a local thrift shop for a decent looking one or pick one up online

#

Could just be a bad connection

loud patrol
#

No moners pepela i gotta wait for my next paycheck

#

$10 paycheck twice every month to be exact ssadge

fading wyvern
#

Rip good luck with the gpu/display issue

#

@loud patrol Whatā€™s your current graphics card?

loud patrol
#

Uh

#

U can see it

#

R7 260x

#

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo

#

Thanks

celest lark
#

can a gt 710 handle just outputting a monitor at 2560x1080?

fading wyvern
#

Thatā€™s a odd resolution

#

But yeah it should be able to you could always grab a gtx 1030 or w.e it is if youā€™re worried

celest lark
#

I currently have a 2060 super and wanting to grab a ultrawide for the top monitor on my setup

#

and idk if it would put more strain on my gpu trying to run it at a higher res

fading wyvern
#

Ah wouldnā€™t really suggest doing more then 1080p with a 2060s

celest lark
#

I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to throw something like that on a different gpu

fading wyvern
#

You really wouldnā€™t be able to game on it atleast but it would run

celest lark
#

I just need it to run at hopefully 60hz

#

I would be using my 2060s for gaming

carmine bloom
#

Why doesn't the monitor i want ship to Minnesota :( Aorus FI25F

carmine bloom
#

Is there any other good 240hz 24" monitors (i want for esports titles)? I see the BenQ but I'm hesitant when looking at others and it seems a lot make FHD 27" monitors Cringe

warped night
#

27" 1080p isn't really a good category in general. The Pixel Density on 27" 1080p is super low. And IMHO unless you are an E-Sports professional getting paid to play video games or you are just absolutely loaded with cash and have nothing else better to spend it on, anything more than about 165hz is excessive.

#

And 240hz 1440p is also super uncommon right now.

carmine bloom
thin coyote
#

i have a 23.7" 1080 60 monitor

#

its not the best but if i want a better screen for games i just use my latops

warped night
#

Also, I don't think your 2070S can really handle 240hz 1440p

carmine bloom
#

I have a 3090 and 3080

#

And I'm not looking for a 1440p monitor. Looking at 240hz 24" FHD monitors

#

I'm just not home so i haven't updated my specs. Should put the new builds together within the next 2 weeks

visual pilot
#

1440p240hz does exist

#

fi27q-x is neat

warped night
#

Why the heck do you own a 3090 AND a 3080. Greedy much?

fading wyvern
#

šŸ‘€

raw ingot
#

dude be judging people with multi gpu

sick plume
#

Lmao

#

Also how does it matter to you how other people spend their money lol

warped night
#

I'm not jealous. I'm infuriated that someone bought 2 GPUs of a different tier in a GPU Chip Crisis. You don't need a 3080 and 3090

sick plume
#

People who need gpus for their job should just stop working?

#

Do you ever think before you speak?

warped night
#

You aren't getting my point.

sick plume
#

Ill get it when you make a point worth trying to understand

warped night
#

It's a Chip Shortage

sick plume
#

And people still need to work

#

And some of em need gpus

warped night
#

And you can very comfortably work using a single 3090

sick plume
#

Not really

#

Not if ur in some lines of buisness

warped night
#

Unless your job somehow requires some massive complex of CUDA, a single 3090 should be more than enough for most people. And he already said he was in QA testing for games

sick plume
#

Or if you wanna do some gaming while one rig is rendering something

#

So

#

QA for games requires running it on various hardware to verify it works well

#

And not just on one gpu and cpu

#

Hence 2 gpus

#

Lmao

vale phoenix
#

Do multi gpu work right

warped night
#

Yes, and those people typically buy 2 of the same GPU.

vale phoenix
#

But you donā€™t need to

#

I could go pair a 3090 with a 710 and use them both for rendering

#

People usually buy both of the same card yes

#

But usually isnā€™t a requirement

#

Itā€™s a most of the time

warped night
#

I guess nobody else is infuriated that a single human being is allowed during a GPU crisis to buy more than 1 GPU.

vale phoenix
#

You donā€™t need 2 of the same gpu to have them both do the same task most of the time

vale phoenix
#

Good for him

warped night
#

Good?!? Its a GPU CRISIS.

vale phoenix
#

Yes

#

And you know how many people are buying

raw ingot
#

If someone bought something cause they need it, you don't gotta go out and call em greedy

vale phoenix
#

More than 2 cards

#

Literally 100s of people are buying 6+ cards

#

Every day

#

And you know what I think about it

#

I literally donā€™t care

#

Good for them

raw ingot
#

Let's tell em to stop yes Dumb

#

They're gonna listen

vale phoenix
#

1 guy buying 2 cards isnā€™t gonna hurt your chance or anyone elseā€™s chance of getting a card

#

Itā€™s 1 out of 100000s of cards

Anyone have monitor recommendations for ps5? 27inch + nothing too expensive

visual pilot

m27q

#

well, ps5 might not be able to do 1440p170

#

prob won't

#

g271 ig

snow cosmos
#

gonna be strictly ps5, so not sure how specs run onthose lol my friend doesnt need anything too crazy just sum nice

#

300 prolly a bit much for his budget

#

anything closer to 200-250?

visual pilot
#

g271

#

should be like 210$

and observe more

would download league first then see if the card's driver are the latest one

see if that's the one that causes tomfoolery on my screen

Isn't that like, more than the M27Q?

#

And, it probably isn't better than the M27Q

visual pilot
#

G27qc is the VA curved 1440p165hz panel btw, guessing they're not using USD @warped night

warped night
#

Ah.

#

Still, isn't that arguably overall just worse than the M27Q?

#

M27Q is IPS 170hs

Is it not?

Yes, unless they're one of the people who really wants curved

so im looking for like a decently cheap 1440p monitor, cause im wanting to upgrade from 1080p, and i would prefer to have like 144hz and above, does anyone have like some decent suggestions im not all that knowing of monitors

warped night
#

M27Q

#

That's basically the best 1440p monitor out there.

#

And it isn't too expensive either.

visual pilot
#

m27q best sub 400$ 1440p monitor I know of

#

higher end you have fun stuff like fi27q-x but yea

visual pilot
#

sure you can get better than pre-calibrated, but their post calibration numbers are not worth looking at if you don't have their hardware imo

primal rapids
#

should i buy 1080p or 1440p moniter

#

rtx 3060

misty gyro
#

1080p high refresh imo

primal rapids
#

144hz ?

misty gyro
#

I'd recommend MSI G241/242

primal rapids

o 240hz

Hi, I'm brand new to this site, and I'm hoping someone can help me! I recently upgrade my mac pro ( original bought in 2007) nice machine. When I was transitioning everything from old to new, somehow I misplaced the dc cord from the A1097 power supply to the Apple cinema Display. I see lots of A1097's for sale, but none show the the DC 24.5V cord. So basically I have a very expensive monitor that I can't use because of this special male to male cord, does anyone know where I can find and buy one... thanks for your help!
