Stop looking at those idiot.

>27"

>1440p

Why?

>>13768916

Suitable for gaming better? I had a VA monitor for a long time, I don't want to deal with input lag again.

>>13768930

Because you need a fuckton of power for 4k right now and it makes everything tiny, so you have to deal with Windows scaling shit and it never works properly.

>1440p

>Gayming

>G-Sync

Truly, you are the greatest goy

>>13768898

the best part is their direct competitor acer has the XB271HU same fucking panel with the same shitty QA problems, same stupid gamer aesthetic. might as well be stealing them out of asus trucks and slapping their sticker on it.

going to level with you OP, unless you have the best card available the extra cash would be better spent on a faster card rather than Goy-sync.

>>13769055

>stupid gamer aesthetic

>that constitutes a red ring and a logo on the base

I kekked

>>13769055

Right? It's bullshit. And I tend to buy things to last for years so the G-Sync will eventually become useful. I'm just sick of the screen tearing which is shocking on this Dell. I don't even have a Nvidia card currently, but I'm so sick of Radeon drivers I'm about to throw the fucking thing out the window.

Hell it's not even that important a feature, I was just giving an example of the bullshit I've discovered. I JUST WANT SOMETHING THAT WORKS

>>13769288

God I hate the curved gimmick. I still remember all the flat panel marketing shit we got at the turn of the century and now they want to make them curved again. It's especially stupid for TVs when multiple people are meant to be able to watch at the same time.

I hate how everything is 16:9 now too. Fuck you, 16:10 is great for PCs, but no we have to make using word processors cinematic.

>>13769346

>I hate how everything is 16:9 now too. Fuck you, 16:10 is great for PCs

It's even worse now, they've convinced retards that UWD (21:9, 32:9 etc) is actually good and/or useful.

>>13769055

How've you been gypsiefag?

I'm gonna be getting rid of my 16:10 LCD monitors soon (1680x1050), may just trash 'em but I'll try selling them for $25 each, 35 for both. I'm upgrading to a Sony cpd-g220r and I'm still picking out a 10-bit monitor I'd be happy with.

>>13769362

ultrawide is like a shittier version of multiple monitors.

>>13769362

Despite living in the middle of nowhere I have managed to see one of those in person. I can not understand what the fuck you'd ever use them for outside of pretending you're some discount Batman in his cave.

>>13769362

>Have 16:10

>Play Jap games

Its suffering I tell you what

>>13769395

I just letterbox, not ideal but better than stretching.

Check the manual for true Hz range. got jewed by dell when they went 75hz on 1280 only.

>>13769462

>Wish I could letterbox.

I just do that via my monitor directly because it allows for 1:1 and fitting to screen while keeping the AR, fuck dealing with the driver settings for that.

>>13769479

Not my old Dell it doesn't. I can do 5:4 though!

Honestly it's the one thing that's shitted me about this monitor, otherwise it's brilliant.

>>13768898

Makes me nervous about my ASUS monitor. I got it for 150 bucks on a sale because it has 144hz capabilities. Works great so far, but only had it for about a year.

I really hope the back light doesn't die.

>>13769524

These are brand new horribly made pieces of shit. If it didn't suck out of the box you're fine, you won the monitor lottery.

>>13769546

Neat. I tried finding the exact model for reference, but I can't find it. If it helps, mine has a 3D graphic on the base of the monitor.

But if what you say is true, then you should probably avoid ASUS altogether.

>>13769559

Well that's the problem, they're all as bad as each other. All chasing marketing bullet points and adding stupid lights rather then making the screens not shit.

Paying high dollar for any monitor right now is a really bad deal.

TN panels have shit colors

IPS panels have that faint glow that effectively puts a bloom affect on everything

Back light bleed on IPS monitors is 10 times the gamble that dead pixels ever were.

Even the fastest IPS panels still have horrendous ghosting, even with strobed backlighting.

HDR is still a complete clusterfuck on PC

Nvidia still refuses to pull their head out of their ass and support free sync

No matter what you get, you're getting shafted in some way. If I was putting money down on a new monitor right now, I'd probably just get a cheap 1440p 144hz TN monitor.

And don't hold your breath for OLED displays to save us. Burn in can't be solved. It's a problem inherent to the organic based components that are used in the individual pixels decomposing over time. The only chance we ever had for good displays in the foreseeable future died with SED tech.

>>13769609

What about QLED, Samsung's alternative? I've seen both that and OLED in person and they are fucking gorgeous.

Personally I can live with IPS glow more then I can TN's god awful… well everything that isn't response time. That backlight shit though, fuck.

>>13769609

Ok fuck I should have read that.

What about 1080p 144Hz TN monitor?

I aint no designer or editor well I am, but I don't work at home, I just want to play video games.

>>13768898

>gaming monitors

you fell for the meme

what I want to know if monitors have actual decent working backlight support now

>>13769695

Got a better idea for dealing with input lag? I didn't mean it in a marketing sense but people keep going on about it and not giving any alternatives.

>>13769609

what a shame

I absolutely hate ips ghosting and bloom but still want a nice colors.

>>13769729

VA monitors had all the colours and none of the glow. They don't seem to really make them anymore. Terrible response times though.

>>13769346

>16:10 is great for PCs, but no we have to make using word processors cinematic

Having 1440 vertical pixels makes this less of an issue, but it's a shame no one makes 16:10 monitors anymore.

>>13769055

I remember reading that the PG279Q and XB271HU have the same panels but that the Acer ones had generally better QC. Both sound sub-par, though.

>>13769462

>>13769609

This, the monitor business is a fucking travesty.

Is freeSync even worth it? Do I really need any monitor faster than 60hz? Is 1080p the best "minimum" resolution?

>>13769795

Enjoy your input lag and barely any games that actually render in 4K internally. I'm waiting for technology to catch up with the 4K meme before I hop on it.

>>13768938

>Suitable for gaming better?

Any screen is.

>>13769627

I've got an asus mg279. It's ok, but only 1440p, plus it's only 27" wide.

>>13769662

QLED isn't any real new technology, it's just blast processing emotion engine marketing wank.

They're just IPS panels. QLED actually refers to the backlight. It's just that the LEDs used for the backlight are of a higher quality, and give a more pure white light for the IPS panel to filter to make all the colors you see.

>>13769777

Freesync is good, better than goysync.

>>13769627

Asus vg248qe is what I've got. It's g-sync so that's a minus, but it's 1080p 144Hz and I think it's going for around $160 now. I don't think there's a freesync equivalent unfortunately otherwise I would have bought that instead.

>>13769757

>Both sound sub-par though

I can't speak for Acer, but Asus has terrible quality control on newer monitors. I had a friend buy the mg279q and had to return it twice before he got one without dead pixels. On older monitors like the one I've got the qc seems to be a lot better though.

>>13769777

Most people can't tell a difference between 60Hz and higher, but if you can it makes a world of difference. The smoothness is amazing. I will never go back to anything below 90Hz. As far as resolution goes, 1080p is great, and it's finally at the point where high refresh rate monitors at that resolution are priced reasonably. 1440p is not at the point where you will get much use out of a high refresh rate monitor without spending $500 alone on a video card, and 4k is still a meme.

i have a 2 monitor setup, but one is dying and i want to make it 3. what should i look out for on black friday? 1080p is good enough, i haven't bit on the 4k meme yet

>>13769609

I got a 144 Hz, 1080p tn monitor

Its bretty gud, calibrating the color was a minor nuisance but I'm pretty happy with it overall, got it for under 200 too

>>13772036

>vg248qe

I have this monitor and love it. it just werks

>>13769746

>They don't seem to really make them anymore

Benq still has VA type monitors last I checked.

>>13768898

finding an actual monitor with actual 1ms lag is kind of hard

>>13772487

>4k meme

>freesync meme

>1ms meme (you can't see a difference between 1ms and 4ms)

fucked up pretty badly. what are the hz? not like it matters since 4k hits your pc like a fucking train.

>>13772516

Only 60hz looking back probably should have looked a little harder for something at 144hz. 4K at 28 inches does make jewtube and overwatch look nice.

I still have a 1080 viewsonic to fall back in case something won't scale properly.

>>13772574

>60hz meme and overcuck meme on top of all the other jewry

you're a lost cause man. go get a CRT

>>13769462

I've heard that removing the bezel can resolve some backlight bleed issues, because the companies hired pajeets that designed bezels that put pressure on the panel.

>Paying the G-Sync tax

Fucking nvidiots.

>>13768938

>Suitable for gaming better? I had a VA monitor for a long time, I don't want to deal with input lag again.

Anon… why are you using an output display and complaining about input lag? Anyone remember when pixel timing and contrast ratios were a first world output display problem?

>>13769609

>>13769729

Many modern non-laptop TN panels are capable of putting out great colors, better than older IPS monitors. What hurts them is the situationally awful color shift. Generally you want tn panels to be 24" or less. Then in normal use it won't be noticeable unless you're trying to display a solid color. But the shift is still there, and you'll never quite feel like you have the monitor positioned exactly right.

>>13769627

Some sellers offer a guaranteed no dead/stuck pixel moniter for a price premium. Might look for ones that declare "pixel perfect" or other variations.

Yes, it is a sad state of affairs when you have to pay a "premium" to get an undamaged product.

>>13769685

Used a CRT until fucking 2013. Only thing I'll miss about that fucking pig was being able spin around in a first person game and not have everything turn to blurry shit.

>>13768898

>Are there gaming monitors out there that don't look like shit and aren't built by incompetent enslaved chimps?

That's an oxymoron. If you want a quality monitor, you never buy gaming.

>50" tv 1920x1080 china hdtv

>>13773219

>"curved" is the new "3D"

>>13773219

>1080p 120hz

Anon, how long ago did you last look for a monitor, 120hz is dead as fuck now and 144hz is generally the cheapest option by far now.

I have a 4-5 year old Eizo Forris FS2333 IPS.

1080p 60Hz, zero backlight bleed. Eizo makes good monitors but they pretty expensive.

Extra points for lack of "gamer" gimicks (on mine at least)

I have the PG278Q, it's that monitors dad it's really good the colors are better than regular TN because 10 bit TN panel. I might wait for OLED to get better before I buy another one.

>>13774076

Definitely, Eizo is never really mentioned but they make some of the best monitors.

I just youtubed the monitor and found this 30 minute review, I watched a bit and this monitor looks to be top notch. It doesn't have ips glow and backlight bleeding like the PG279Q and is real common in ips monitors. He explains how it's caused to due the bezels being tightly pressed against the screen itself and the Eizos intelligently designed to have more loose bezels, seems they thought of everything building this monitor, real impressed. 2 minutes in.

My PG278Q has backlight bleeding it's nothing to lose my shit over, but less is better. The monitor is really well built. I get autistic when I make big purchases and do a lot of reading, I'd advise you do the same. If I were to buy a monitor now, I'd probably get this or an OLED once they become better.

>>13768898

>Are there gaming monitors out there that don't look like shit and aren't built by incompetent enslaved chimps?

Nope. In fact the direct equivalent competing model by Acer is even worse.

>>13768930

Why not.

>>13769662

>QLED

It's a marketing meme. Literally existing technology just renamed and with even more flaws.

>>13769728

Disable vsync and aero.

>>13769777

It's cheaper than gsync but nowhere near as good.

>>13772117

>best picture quality you can purchase for a IPS monitor.

There are better. But you have to pay several thousand dollars.

>>13772345

>>13772487

They don't exist. Stop falling for marketing memes. Also response time does not mean input lag. This is display technology 101.

>>13774278

Looks good but it's still 1200 bucks, there's the EV2736WFS which is about half that not sure it's of comparable quality though.

>>13774314

I spent that on a PH278Q. Where did you find the Eizo Foris FS2735? Googles not showing anything and Newegg and amazon don't carry it, it might be discontinued? The EV2736WFS is bretty gud, but don't get 1080p monitor.

>>13774329

>Where did you find the Eizo Foris FS2735?

LDLC, guess it pays to be yuropoor every once in a while

> but don't get 1080p monitor.

I dunno anon, I've used a 32" TV as my main monitor for over a year and never really been bothered with the low res, on top of that if I'm getting a 144hz monitor I really just want to maximize the framerate and 1440p kinda goes against that

>>13774670

Actually, yes. There's videos on Jewtube you can use and just let them run an hour or two (or even overnight) full screen. I had a weird burned in flicker don't ask me how that works awhile back caused by a game, doing that got rid of it.

>tfw 15 ms monitor

>no face because I can't pick a reaction image since the guy sitting next to me would think I'm retarded

>>13774670

>Anyone ever experienced and/or cured monitor burn-in?

On LCD you generally just power them down for a while and it comes back if it's not permanent (I get those kind of burn-in often from pillarboxing/letterboxing)

You can try the heavily flickering videos/programs to unstuuck grey/dead pixels too.

>>13774278

what about those cheap eizos in around 300 dollars.

its fucking hell wanting any quality while having budget of around 300 euros

>>13775084

ViewSonic XG2401

>>13775095

I would need a pretty powerful rig for 144hz gaming right? That seems the biggest problem for me and second would be I dont really play anything anymore its just I seem to experience blur and ghosting even during browsing.

>>13775135

Depends on the game and what settings you want to run it at. I have a 270 and I can hit 100+ in most games, but I don't play a lot of modern games.

>>13775158

does it get smoother even when not hitting 144? I would be okay with something like 90

and the blurines is vids is caused by vids alone right?

>>13775167

Yeah, 90's noticeable.

Blur could be a few things, my guess is slow response time.

Anyway if you're not sure about 144hz you can always visit a computer store for a demo. Even Costco has them these days.

>>13774283

>There are better. But you have to pay several thousand dollars.

Yeah. I meant "best picture quality for an IPS monitor you can buy for less than a grand".

>>13774278

>Over 1K USD monitor without Wide Gamut

If you are paying that much of a premium on a monitor at least pay for one that actually displays 100% of the sRGB colorspace. Good color range and black level has a better impact on overall picture quality than almost any marketing meme I can think of.

>>13775174

I got 6ms. had older monitor with more but it didnt seemed that bad maybe its something with browser.

>>13775197

6ms doesn't necessarily mean much, response time is an easily gimmicked number so what the box says isn't always true.

OLED is the only serviceable screen technology since IPS ghosting is cancer.

>>13775317

yeah but it dies in 4 years so it's kinda garbage too. crt revival when?

>>13775845

>Walked into a Best Buy while waiting for a friend. For $160 I could buy a 1080p 120hz monitor

Well if you can find them cheaper sure, but you can't do that everywhere.

>>13775328

>OLED

>dies in 4 years

I've been using the same phone with an OLED screen for 5 years and the tech has only improved since. Literally what the fuck are you on about?

>>13775317

OLED is so responsive that it can actually give the appearance of judder when viewing motion. Plasma was actually better at displaying motion.

>>13776234

HDR is a giant meme that makes video games extremely pricey to make.

>>13776234

Well first the OS has to support HDR monitors because apparently the colors get fucked due to such high "nit" value and the extensive use of whites in average use.

Also if your waiting for HDR might as well wait for OLED too.

>>13776275

What? How does using a wider contrast and color output make a game other than perhaps make a game downscale to SDR screens any more expensive?

>>13776306

These faggots hired a guy specifically for that shit.

>>13776275

Nonsense. It's not even that difficult to implement.

>>13773219

>2560x1440

>meme resolution

At the right monitor size (27") you get more work space and it's basically the highest resolution (barring 1600p, etc) you can go without having to turn your head to see parts of the screen and without having to resort to dpi scaling. The only downside is when using applications/viewing media intended for 1080p screens (1080p YouTube videos, desktop backgrounds, etc).

>>13776339

They don't even have to redo assets unless something is pre-rendered. They were solely tweaking lighting "for various displays". Seriously, they are making HDR look harder to implement than it is. Considering the time and money publishers put into advertising ,HDR implementation is nothing.

>>13776418

>The only downside is when using applications/viewing media intended for 1080p screens

You mean like almost all of the UI elements of Windows 7, 8 and 10? Which don't scale properly past 1080p?

>>13776482

Why is microsoft full of fucking retards that have the forward thinking mentally of niggers?

>>13776461

Its just a bit of color correction and SDR compatibility which should be a staple of devolping games since HD tvs came to the scene.

>>13776482

What doesn't scale properly? I get it not working when using dpi scaling, but simply running 1440p resolution at 1x scaling doesn't seem to cause me issues.

I have a PG279, it's really nice, and mine has no dead pixels or any other issues. But it's also absurdly expensive. I mostly bought it for the low latency, if you're not playing shooters then it's probably not worth it.

You still don't need anything more than 1080p right now if your focus is gaming. Best tell us your budget OP and what you're looking for like minimum refresh rate and whether you want freesync/gsync or not.

what about those 250hz zowies.

>>13776705

>>13776980

4k can barely be pushed to a reliable 60fps let alone 144fps with a single GPU and there aren't any good 144hz 4k monitors yet anyway. Give it two years or so. Acer and Asus are targeting 2018.

Ultrawide is just absolutely fucking stupid as you're burning teraflops to render pickles you barely even perceive. You're not in a goddamn movie theater, you have control over the camera, put the pixels where you can see them.

>>13777024

Never use SLI. If this was a GPU thread that'd be #1 in 'Mistake tier'. Get the fastest single GPU you can get but go no further.

>>13777198

>2 different sized monitors with a bezel in the middle

What was it you were playing that you were using that for?

>>13777243

Not much playing just modeling and gamedevving.

I have a Dell ultrasharp I bought a few years ago and it's still really good although the input lag is shit. I want to get a new monitor, I have money and I'd like to splurge a bit. Ideally I'd like 1440p IPS with 100% color range and as little input lag with no backlight bleed. Seems it's impossible to find a good monitor these days, every monitor has it's faults.

>>13777494

You'll probably have to sacrifice something. You can get 1440p IPS low-latency, but at the cost of color range and inconsistent backlight.

>>13777571

Shit, that's real hard to choose from. I suppose I could give up some color accuracy for less input lag because I can feel the difference between low input lag and high input lag, makes some games unplayable.

>>13777605

I've got two sex predators (XB271HU) which are great 1440p 144hz IPS gsync monitors, but for photography they're suboptimal due to the backlight inconsistency creating phantom gradients. It's pretty minor compared to the other gayming monitors I've had and it'd probably not be noticeable outside of professional image work but it's there.

>>13777750

>HDR

No thanks

>>13776234

>Pointless to buy a new monitor now when HDR monitors are coming next year

This is moronic. Then it'd be pointless to buy a HDR monitor next year coz something else will be coming out after that too.

>>13776980

No 4k displays do integer scaling.

99% of content is 1080p.

Therefore scaling a 1080 image up to 4k introduces massive amounts of blurring/filtering. There are a dozen other problems like the gpu requirements.

>>13777765

What do you want? OLED? Some of the best selling HDR televisions are LCD (QLED) because the peak brightness can be brighter than the sun whereas with OLED it cannot.

>>13777650

Yeah that backlight is a dealbreaker for that and the OPS monitor. I'm gonna keep looking or wait a bit longer.

>>13777750

>Freesync Only

Freesync and Gsync are a meme, if you're not a pleb and have a proper system that runs games at above 60fps there is zero need for them. They only stop tearing at lower fps.

>>13777830

Best selling doesnt equal best visually. Also I care more about accurate blacks than brightness.

>>13777750

Monitor HDR is a meme as it's currently based on LED arrays with local dimming rather than improvements to per-pixel range. 10 bit color is great but very few games support it and that's unlikely to change before you replace the monitor you're shopping for. As such, 10 bit color on displays without a wide gamut is a meme. 10 bit + wide tends to be pricey because people using them for professional work have deeper pockets of their utility in professional work. But properly encoded 100 year old women who only look like lolis so it's ok will look nice.

>>13777833

>They only stop tearing at lower fps.

I don't know who told you that but they're wrong.

>if you're not a pleb and have a proper system that runs games at above 60fps

It sounds like you were listening to plebs who have monitors only capable of 60fps and are massively overspending on their GPU so at no time is the game below 60, then they throw it in vsync and call it a day. That's just dumb. gsync/freesync allow you to push higher quality with the same GPU as you don't have to worry about dips that fall below refresh.

>>13775328

>crt revival when?

When it can be just as light as LED backlit LCD panels so there can be more of it packed in shipping containers. And yes I have used CRTs until 2009 even for non gayming stuff. And no, they're not coming back en masse unless there is a huge leapfrog that makes it competitive with LCD based tech including the economics side of things.

>>13777925

Yeah OLED for larger screens, bigger than phone sized still seems a bit of a crapshoot, maybe it will improve further but we'll see.

>>13778720

Pretty much.

For something so vital the hardware industry sure treats it like shit.

I think I'm late for the thread but here's my recommendation.

Decent price, 34" ultrawide, great for games and movies, not so much for browsing the internet because it looks weird but it's not a big deal to be honest.

Plus the Freesync will go great if you made the right decision bought an AMD RX 4XX or 5XX.

>>13778731

Yeah either it looks good on paper but its practically a gamble if it works or its shit with bad colors or light bleeding or shit refresh rate.

>>13778782

What's wrong with that? It has to be a leap from 1920x1080 to x1440 or, god forbid, 4K? It's a nice middle ground.

Great viewing angles

High refresh, I don't care about fastest just something nice

Minimal input lag

Quality build with no bleeding or other bullshit most delusional part of this

Something that deals with screen tearing

That's it, that's all I want. As it is 16:10 is practically non-existent. Colour and angles means IPS (OLED is wonderful but impractical) which means they're a fucking mess quality wise as they'd rather put useless lights all over the base.

What you're looking for exists, if you're ready to spend professional medical monitor money. (around 30-50k)

So I need to make a game that'll appeal to autistic children before I can afford a proper monitor. Great.

It's effect anon. EFFECT.

You could, whoever, say that bloom effect, AFFECTS your monitor.

Now I want to ask what the best position is to avoid future hand problems.

>>13789115

flat and straight wrist.

Almost all pieces of tech have some retarded mistakes like that. Sometimes they deliberately do this stuff to make things last less, for instance the samsung galaxy s3 had horrible thermal design and the battery was right besides the cpu so it cooks its own battery to death making samsungfags buy new batteries constantly.

>>13789125

Thanks anon, i might need a boobie pad to keep this position from hurting.

>>13768898

I got a MG278Q on sale a year ago.

Best purchase ever.

People shit all over freesync, but it does make a difference.

Flicker free backlighting also saves my eyes.

Whatever you do, never buy a monitor without seeing it in store first. Faggots complaining about backlight bleed wouldn't have the problem if they just tested the shit before buying it.

>>13789257

A 1440p 27" display is the equivalent of two 1366x768 displays side by side in portrait.

The ultra wide screen meme is shit for reading.

Thinking of buying a new monitor with my hard earned gbp's but I've never used anything above my current crappy 10+ year old 20-21inch monitor and was wondering if 1080p at 27inch is really that bad like people make it out to be? I do have a 6600 and a 980ti so its not like I cant run 1440p I'd just rather not deal with 1440p atm with all the qc problems (assuming all 1440p/120hz/etc monitors are still a gamble).

>Whatever you do, never buy a monitor without seeing it in store first. Faggots complaining about backlight bleed wouldn't have the problem if they just tested the shit before buying it.

Would that I could. I live at least 5 hours away from a proper computer shop.

>>13776275

they already work with high contrast and wide color gamut internally, but they map to SDR because thats what their customers have.

>>13777811

new things always come out but how big of an improvement and how far apart can be evaluated that means when it is a good time to pull the trigger vs when it is a good time to wait varies throughout each year.

ULMB was more impressive for me than G-sync. You get CRT like motion clarity when it's active, and you can even set some monitors to strobe at 60hz for games that don't run higher than 60fps. I find the strobing to be unnoticeable for the officially supported refresh rates on my monitor(100/120/144hz). At 60hz, I can see how some people would find it uncomfortable. I'd say ULMB is definitely a feature worthy of consideration for daily usage.

Anyone who is looking for info on display technology should be digging through the blur busters site as there's all the information one could possibly need to make a well informed decision on what to buy. Even if you do need to ask a question, you're more likely to get an answer backed by solid info there than anywhere else.

Reminds me of that old Xbox advert where the gamer grrls were "playing", but the console wasn't even plugged in.

>>13793152

didnt you spend 4k+ on a fucking prebuilt too?

>>13793175

>im a poorfag

>jealous

>4k is bad because i cant a afford anything better than 1200x700

no, i bought this because of massive discount. best purchase i made in years tbh, even with the mentioned defect

>>13793311

i meant 4k+ dollars you fucking nigger

Can I reliably get 144hz working on a DVI cable or do I need to sell my soul to drm and get displayport?

>>13796713

I keep forgetting to take off the fucking flag

>>13796713

get DVI-I and enjoy 220hz

>>13791159

>Faggots complaining about backlight bleed wouldn't have the problem if they just tested the shit before buying it.

You don't end up with the same panel that you test out on the shop floor. Every single one is different.

>>13793311

>4k is bad because i cant a afford anything better than 1200x700

4k is bad for lots of reasons without even considering the price.

>>13796982

>4k is bad for lots of reasons without even considering the price.

List them up or your statement is invalid.

>>13792865

I consider ULMB to be a meme. The brightness required burns out eyeballs super fast and needing to run it at a fixed high refresh (realistically, 120 or higher) is difficult without making major sacrifices to get the min fps up there. It's interesting tech, and it does dramatically reduce blur, but it just isn't practical.

>>13798831

That's the joke.

>>13798965

gsync isn't a meme you dumbass, learn what it's used for before saying stupid stuff

Peope just want good screens with perfect motion clarity.

Don't do it anon.

>>13809514

The reviews I've seen are good. Is the build quality shit or something?

>>13799002

So wait… you're suggesting that he should use his high hrz monitors with Vsync on and get 60FPS at best… 30 at worst. That's not even considering if the software fucks up and causes screen tearing w/ vsync like i've heard done in BF4.

WHAT?!

>>13809703

You can vsync at 144, that's what proper gsync configurations do when the rate exceeds refresh. The issue is when the rate drops to 143 or something. With vsync-only that's a dramatic framerate collapse that is jarring. With gsync you'd never know without a fps counter. For a vsync-only setup you need min fps to never drop below refresh and you'd have to destroy the graffix to get most games fully above 144.

It's great tech with no technical drawbacks or tradeoffs that is only hated by some on /v/ because they're "team red" consolewar faggots who realize freesync isn't as good and because it's expensive and /v/ is broke.

>>13809514

I have a couple Acers at work, they seem fine and look pretty good

>>13809152

Stay away from acer products.

As far as monitors as concerned, you want Dell/ASUS/AOC/BenQ/LG/Samsung/NEC/EIZO/JDI

FUCK

I bought a PG278Q back when they first came out, shit came with dead pixels. And about 2 months ago (literally a month outside of its 3 year warranty) it suddenly refused to show a clean picture (there were lines running across the screen horizontally and it looked like it wasn't even running at native resolution anymore). Asus's response? "Pay for repairs" (it would have cost nearly half of the $1k AUD I paid for it) so I ended up just getting an AOC AGON AG251FZ (24.5 inch 240hz 1080p).

Honestly with 240hz I don't even miss G-Sync anymore (tearing is still a thing of course but it's barely noticeable even for me, and I'm extremely sensitive to that kind of bullshit). I do miss the extra 2.5 inches of screen size and 1440p (it almost makes my GTX 1080 seem kind of overkill at 1080p, though at least it helps to make use of that 240hz refresh rate I suppose). Unfortunately this is my second AGON monitor, the first one had dead pixels and some kind of ugly oval burn-in pattern in the middle of the screen that showed up after 2-3 days (this second one also had the oval pattern but it disappeared after a couple of weeks).

And apparently I was one of the lucky PG278Q owners going off ASUS's own forums. So yeah I'm staying the fuck away from ASUS from now on. Their quality control is fucking horrendous (not that the rest of the monitor industry is much better though).

It's a solid monitor. Runs a little hot in my experience.
