>>57871982
It is a very noticable jump and definitely worth the extra cash.
Going from 720p to 1080p was a hell of a change for me.
But then going to 1440p, man... it was really something.
I only use 23" monitors, so i was able to compare all three side by side. 720p looked like someone put wax paper over a screen.

>>57871693
Do you care about productivity?
get a 1440 that is between 80 and 120 ppi and you got a good amount of detail without scale

Do you want 4k for productivity?
you are looking at 40-50 inch, and only one pc monitor is that big. you are using a tv most likely.

if not, you can stick to 1080p till monitors/tvs get good.

Apparently there was a g-sync "kit" for this, but I keep seeing that it isn't a thing you can get anymore. My card has g-sync, and I'm trying to upgrade from a Samsung SyncMaster from 2009. And the PG278Q costs most of what my entire rig did and it doesn't seem worth it. Would the other one make a big enough difference anyway that it wouldn't just be an extra $200-some plus whatever I'd pay to upgrade to g-sync?

i just upgraded from a regular 24in 1080p 144hz display to a dell gsync 1440p 144hz 24in and i love it. the screen real estate and the ppi is amazing.

the only reason to go 1440p is for the 144hz ips panels for fps games and it will cost you a fortune.

if you don't play fast paced games all day erry day than 4k ips will give you a better ppi for browsing, reading and movies while saving you 200-400$ on the display alone.

>>57879625
no, apparently most of the people here are sub 1 foot from the monitor, had this discussion far to many times.

>>57871693
I think so.

I see no reason to go to 4K over it, DPI scaling simply sucks

Frankly I think 1080p is fine

Some video games have trouble keeping up with 1440p so I'll stick with 1080p for a while.

Moreover, by the time it becomes industry standard, we might actually have affordable OLED monitors.

A bad question. Ask a different one.

UHD displays can be easily had on ebay for a bargain. If you're worried more about screen real estate, 32-40 inch screens should work without scaling, provided you have physical desk space.

For gaming, high refresh rate displays are nice, as are the refresh rate syncing and low-persistence.
The argument about not having graphics hardware to drive a high resolution at native resolution makes no sense to me.

Skeptically cheap, if whatever site you're buying from has an easy way to get your money back if it never shows up or has a crack in it, yes. Extremely good deal.

1440p 144hz is optimal for gay ming right now and for the next couple years

then 4k 144hz as gpus catch up and can attain that level of performance on some less graphical intense games without crossfire/SLI, if you aren't playing vidya than just go to 4k

For me the 1080p@144hz powered by a 1060 6gb was the best value since the monitor was only $188. The pixio 1440p 144 is very tempting but still double the price. I'd like to see the prices drop some more and see another jump in 200-300usd gpus. That being said I'm sure 1440p at 27 inches is amazing but I've never seen it in person nor have I seen 4k. I wish I could :(

>>57883692
>is it worth it?
That's a personal question. Sounds like a good price for it. New would be closer to 300.
Keep in mind if you buy used, you increase your odds of getting the low end of the panel lottery.

PPI is around 117, a bit higher than usual 1:1 scale desktop displays.
Contrast is pretty decent-average for IPS, around 1100:1.
Standard mounts if you appreciate a better stand, PWM free.

Get 40+ inch uhd monitor. 1440p is only for gaymen 144+hz. Price is not that different for decent panels anyway. Cheap 1440p monitors are shit anyway. If I have to spend 450$ for decent 1440p monitor I might as well jump to 600 for good 4k one, after all uhd is more future proof. Scalable to 720p for older tv shows, and 1080p for older movies its best of both words.

>>57884023
Poorfag student here, I can't afford 4k.
What do mean by it's not scalable? Something to do with black bands?

>>57884023

this

I'm using the pixio px277 and kinda regret not just going 4k since I don't play that many games

144hz is crazy smooth though even on just desktop screens and the picture is miles better than the old TN 1080p asus it replaced. You won't need or want to replace a good 4k screen for 5-10 years until OLED is mainstream and the kinks are worked out, 1440p will be deprecated in 3-4

I have (hidpi, laptop) 4k, (lowdpi, at work) 4k, (lowdpi) 2k and (lowdpi) 1k (aka 1080p) screens

4k hidpi is not worth it, IMO, lots of apps still look retarded, gamut and response times are often not as good as the smaller ones, unless you pay premium

1080p is fine for dual (or more) screens

if you're going for single screen, I would go for 2k (2560x1440), but I'd prefer dual 2k or even dual 1k. Maybe one of those large lowdpi 4k screens if you really want to waste the money on it, but at that size they start becoming kinda uncomfortably large (lots of moving your head/eyes around) and brightness coverage is not as even.

dual 2k-screens is pretty much where it's at IMO.

Also, I mainly care about programming & digital painting etc, not as much about gaming.

>>57880992
That's a nice butt

>>57884092
uhd scales 9 square for 1 pixel for 720p and 4 pixel square for 1 pixel on 1080p. You don't have to deal with shitty interpolation. If you go for 4k monitor you will probably want to not have too tiny dot because ui scaling is shit for most applications. So you are looking for 42+ inch screen. That is big as middle sized tv so you will probably want to watch tv shows and movies on it. Pixel perfect scaling is the way to go. Just don't go maximum cheap. There is a big difference between a 40 inch 4k monitor with god knows what put in it for 550$ and a good 42+ inch lg panel or better that go for >650$. 1440p is middle of the road resolution. It is a cheapo version of 2560x1600 when 16:10 was rad. I remember when I got my first 1920x1200 monitor 12 years ago and was drooling for 30 inch dell that was 2560x1600 and godlike at the time. Imagine this - you get a gimped version of what was good 12 years ago. 1440p is not bad resolution but is right now a price point decision. Getting 1440p right now is like getting 1680x1050 10 years ago. Everyone I know that had monitor like that regret for not going for slightly pricier 1920x1200 or 1920x1080.

>>57884092

Integer scaling of pixels. You get a simple rectilinear interpolation of 720p video, but not 1080p video.

>>57884303
>Cheap 1440p monitors are shit anyway
The display quality was fine, even if they might lack inputs.
The old cheap Korean stuff did. The Dell 1440p mentioned before doesn't, which is now the new cheap.

The panels pretty much all come from LG, Samsung, AUO, and a few others.
>1440p is middle of the road resolution
It was a middle of the road resolution 3 years ago as UHD panels were coming into the market.
Nowadays resolution beyond UHD is being pushed, and the lower end UHD displays are now under 400 dollars.

How's the Asus MG279Q? At $550 I could probably buy a second one in a month or two without being too mad at myself for dropping so much cash on a single product.

I would just wait OP. Come this time next year, 4k monitors will have completely taken over and you will be able to get a quality 4k monitor at a good price. Not to mention next years video cards look like they will push 4k games at a mid range level card.

>>57890465
whats mid range? because people argue that a 980ti was mid range because the high end was pushed stupidly high by titanx

mid range won't push 4k till volta and amds navi, and even then, i'm skeptical unless they mcm the gpus, and they sure as fuck won't push 120/144hz which is FAR bigger for gaming than resolution.

4k wont get good till oled become the standard not the exception, hell the only thing that would get me to move from my 1920x1200 monitor would be if the philips 40 inch 4k was sub 400$ or when smaller 4k monitors use oled for sub 300$

And ill tell you now it wont happen next year, soon, but not that soon.

>>57890255
either drop the ips requirement, or drop the gsync,

realistically, high static contrast ratio beats out ips for perceived quality. the colors may not be perfect, but you get use to it/dont care, but contrast... thats where actual you dont get use to shit contrast comes from. go to a store, imagine your monitor, and look at every tv and monitor there, do you notice the color is better? likely quite a few of those displays are better color than yours, no, what you notice is they have better blacks and are brighter.

thats contrast.

also

NEVER BELIEVE A SINGLE FUCKING NUMBER ON THE BOX

every and i mean fucking EVERY NUMBER IS A LIE

find reviews, find out what the actual contrast is, and get a monitor based on that assuming everything else is good enough.

I could get 1440p at 60hz or 4k at 60hz.

What do you recommend for a 1070 with 6700k? The 1440p will be easier to run while at 4k I will have to downscale to 1080p often but will be more future proof when I get a Vega Fury for example.

Why are 1600p monitors so expensive still?

It applies to the gays as well.

Pedophilia doesn't mean raping children. Pedophilia in itself is harmless, it becomes bad when you act upon those urges.

>Gamma shift is so bad on TN panels
Not all TN panels look that bad, not all IPS have a passable gamma stability either.

>>57891133
Windowed mode was the one that came to mind first.

>>57890574
The cards or the displays? The display will depend on size and they're arguably cheap enough already if you consider the small sub-30 inch panels. That does get into scaling issues however.

>>57890255
You could just get a 490

is the samsung 4k 40" TV's good for 4k gaming?
thought about hooking my pc up to one

>>57871693
Yes!

even better if it's 4k, waiting for a 4k with >120hz

How is Asus on quality control? I hear some manufacturers are known to be questionable in this department.

have access to one of the better ips you can buy, not in my house at the moment so i can't give you model number, it has just as bad of viewing angles as tn does, the only difference is the color isn't shifting, but the contrast is fucking itself.

I have honestly given up on anything being decent to look at even a modest 10 degree arc, from center, so even with ips having better color, the shifting contrast makes it just as bad as tn for my use, but even worse because I would have payed 1-200$ more.

For GPU's? Amazing. For monitors, kinda iffy like every other manufacturer.

>>57892178
tv's are a crapshoot at best, you may get something useful, you may get something that looks like you put vaseline over the entire screen.

Never had good luck with cheap tv's

I recomend you take a laptop to a store and see if they will let you plug in to test.

shalom!

I've been running a 2560x1440 monitor since 2013 and I still really like it. Partly because it's a Samsung LPS and it's got the most glorious anti-glare I've ever seen.

I'd much rather have 2560x1600, but they're like 3x the price, if you can even find one.

4k/5k is appealing, but I don't want to pay for the horsepower to run it.

These days I don't even consider a desktop with a display smaller than 27" @ 1440p a proper desktop. If you're going to pair your desktop with such a small screen you might as well be using a laptop instead.

its one of those 40" 7000 series 4k samsung TV's
i dont even have a hdmi cable long enough to plug it in and try

Fuck no, wait for 4k

4k is not a good fit for 27" displays because in HiDPI mode, it's only equal to 1080p and if you're buying a monitor as large as 27" you should get at least 2560x1440 of usable screen real estate.

4k is fine for 20"-24" but 5k is what you should be after if you're looking for a HiDPI 27" display.

>>57891202
yes

Recently got a 4K 27" IPS and it was such a huge leap for me from my older 24" 1080 TN.

The text with default scaling despite being smaller looks so much easier on the eyes and sharper, you can fit a fair amount more content on the screen like viewing more threads at once in the catalog.

720 and 1080 Content seem to scale well, after trying IPS I can't go back to TN. The colour distortion has always been a nuisance even if I am looking dead on. But it is probably due to the low quality of my TN panel.

For games there is a noticeable difference but it wasn't such a huge leap, The higher resolution can make the games look sharper but it also makes flaws in textures pop out like a sore thumb.

HDR would probably be more noticeable, saw some 4K OLED HDR TVs on display and they looked amazing. But it will be a while until HDR sees widespread adoption. Price of a normal 4K monitor at the moment is obscene as it is, cheapest 27"+ IPS out there I could find locally was an LG27UD68.

There was an Asus 23" IPS that was cheaper with a nice stand that allows you to place it in portrait mode but it seems too small for 4K, 1440 would be more practical for that size.

32" would be the sweetspot for me but that would take up far too much desk space so around 28" sounds more reasonable. Skipped 1440 because it apparently doesn't play nice with 1080 content when it comes to scaling, and there is a lot of 1080 content out there at the moment.

I don't upload wallpapers buddy old chum, maybe you should find some better websites instead of trawling through google images.

>>57894743
what's next 50" 8k? At some point the size is going to become ridiculous, 27~28" is still reasonable but once you hit 32" onwards it starts to get into uncomfortably large territory assuming viewing distance is around 0.5m~1m.
