/monitors/ general

If you can afford it, go 1440p ips 120+hz with adaptive sync, if not i'd say 1080p@144hz 24". If you go 1440p, 27" is definetly the sweetspot. Dpi is kinda low at 30"

I wish there were 1440p screens size 28-29".

>>58602270
1200p > 1080p
1600p > 1440p

>>58602552
Thanks for your opinion. I guess there is this new samsung C24FG70 monitor that fits the bill
>>58602871
This a thousand times. Would be a no-brainer

giant tv or nothing

>>58602871
>>58602907
why ? Isn't 27" enough for you ? Why a big monitor, it's not a TV, you sit close to a monitor, moving your head to see everything is retarded
24" is the perfect size, fite me

>>58603167
Muh immersion

Speaking of which, there's 1080p at 32 inches:
https://www.amazon.com/LG-32MP58HQ-P-32-Inch-Monitor-Screen/dp/B01BV1X9DG
I feel the image will look too washed out at such size. Still, a huge glossy monitor for that price sounds pretty enticing...

>>58603167
27" is too small for that res, makes text just a bit too small and scaling only 5% is hard or impossible.

24" is ok if you're sitting close to the monitor, otherwise not.

>>58603235
>27" is too small for 1440p
what the fuck, I have 24" 1440p, it's perfect, wouldn't cry with 27", but even 24" isn't too small for QHD
No I don't use scaling, it's cancer
>>58603231
Seems good, when you're bored you could count pixels

>>58602270
Depends what games, CSGO and other that benefit from higher framerate(all games benefit from higher framerate, but some more than others) then 1080@144, if not, 1440@60, also you will have more space when using the PC in anything other than games
Also I'm not sure but I think it's easier to run 1440@60 than 1080@144
If 1440p, go 27, 32 is fuckhueg for a monitor

>>58603235
this. Running two Dell u2515h panels and this is perfect setup. PPI is just right.

I have a 2560x1600 30" monitor.

It's big, and the resolution is so much that I actually have to zoom 3 levels from the default to make things fit.

Dual windows is pretty much my standard now. Especially when reading threads on 4chan and other webpages.

The only thing I miss about Windows 10 is Quad Windows.

>>58605861

oh, and also 2560x1600 means that pop up controls and icons in media player and youtube's overlays get moved off the video.

i use a 42" lg LCD tv as my monitor

not bad, would not recommend though.

Kek

Idk why but I think the months of constant 4K meme-ing, it's almost trained my brain and my eyes to make me think that 23" screens and 1080p are too small, so now I'm looking critically at my setup and it just feels small now.

I've had this Acer H243H monitor for a couple of years and I kinda want something new, and I've been looking at this Asus MX27AQ 27".

I think I'm in love with thin bezels, but is this monitor /g/-approved? Would it be too annoying for vidya and dicking around in photoshop?

>>58606257
Thinking about picking up a 24" 1440p monitor that dell makes. It's 144hz and Gsync. My only beef is it's a TN panel. Tho it's under 500$ Coming from a 1080p panel what should I expect from the resolution bump?

Asus XB270HU.

- 144HZ
- Gsync
- 27"
- Low to zero input lag
- 2560x1440
- IPS
- Very thin bezel
- Well priced

The only con in my book is that it only has one display port output jack, but it is otherwise the best monitor I have ever owned.

>>58606976
27" and 1440p is a perfect match. AH-IPS is great. 60Hz is probably fine if youre not too much into gaymen. No freesynch/adaptive sync, it seems = minus. Read some reviews which would mention input lag and ghosting.

>>58606750
Does Windows 7 support that? He looks to be using 7, when I had my dual monitors it did not, unfortunately.

ASUS > Dell in my experience. Having color calibrated every monitor in our building, ASUS's generally have better color accuracy than even most of the really nice ultrasharps.

I can't move my eyes due to a neurological condition, so I would like a small monitor. My top priority is good color accuracy. Any recommendations?

My heart just skipped a beat because this picture reminded me of that old zombie jumpscare thing for some reason

I use two with no GUI scaling, plenty of people use the dell 24" without GUI scaling as well.

Unless you have particularly shit vision, they're fine.

Should I grab a U2515H, or spring for the 27" model for an extra 150AUD? I'm perfectly willing to spend that extra, but I'm worried about 1440p at 25" being too small. What do?

>>58603231
This is a shit meme, I have a 34" UW 1080p monitor and it's fine, unless you get really close to it. So if you can look at it from about a meter just go with a bigger size.

any ideas for a better screen for a rx 480? I got pic related (27UD68) but the 480 is slightly shitty at 4k and it will only get worse.

Looking for 1440p or 1080 at the least.

I want 1080p, IPS and FreeSync.

What monitors are worth looking at?

if dell released freesync ultrasharps I'd probably buy 5 of them

>>58615787
Same

Wish there was a U2417 with freesync. Maybe the U2418 will have it.

>>58610003
No, ideal is 4k@144hz freesync for $500-$700

It would pretty much be an instant buy from me, but nobody makes this.

I hate how "gamer" monitors are ridiculously priced for simply being "gamer". How important are g-sync/freesync to playing video games today? I mean, I've had a regular 24" Acer that I picked up from Staples 4-5 years ago and it obviously doesn't have these *-sync bells and whistles.
Am I really missing out, or is there a good alternative.

Also, it sucks that these "gamer" monitors all look the same. I think I'm kinda sold on the frameless/bezelless look.

Is there a /g/ guide or something to monitors today? I'm totally out of the loop.

>>58616934
G-sync/freesync is nice because it stops screen tearing without introducing input lag that you would notice moving the mouse around that traditional vsync did.

As far as gaming its just cause of 144hz and whatnot. I use a 1440p/144hz/ips and even in regular use, the smoothness of 100hz is really nice especially compared to the monitor to my left thats 60hz (the mouse feels laggy and jittery on that screen due to lower refresh)

I don't follow monitor news, are there 4k 120/144Hz monitors yet and how much do they cost?

You might want to get your eyes checked friend.

>>58619224
I don't wear any corrective lenses or glasses and have no need to. 20/20 vision.

I just don't see how you can look at font as it is rendered without scaling at 1440p on a 24" screen, while sitting at a comfortable distance, without causing unnecessary strain. Look how fucking tiny the font looks on anon's vertical monitor >>58606257

Straight retardation desu. Stop trying to justify poorfaggotry and buy a monitor worthy of that resolution.

>>58619266
I'm currently about 32" away from my monitor as I type this to you, it's a 25" 1440p monitor, 117PPI.

Confirmed.

>>58615348

just buy another rx 480.

in the mean time play in 1440p with the best AA you can do.

anybody playing with less than 10 tflops of gpu's is kidding themselves in the 1440p and 4k arena and will be turning down details just to have higher resolution.

All monitors are now a huge compromise and none of them are really decent.

1080p - outdated
1440p - shit media scaling
4k - shit framerates and little support, nothing over 60Hz

Korean 1440p monitors no longer overclock anymore and have shit panels. Regular 1440p monitors don't overclock either, are massively overpriced, and the ones that do overclock all have issues with overdrive or frame dropping.

IPS has shit IPS glow and response time. TN has shit colors and viewing angles.

Freesync is cheap buy cant be used by Nvidia cards. G-Sync is expensive as fuck and cant be used by AMD cards.

All of it fucking sucks.

I just want either a 1440p 120Hz IPS panel with little glow at a reasonable price or a 4k panel that can overclock and graphics cards that can actually use it. Both need adaptive syc that is compatibe with both nvidia and AMD.

>>58606976
I have a MX27AQ 27" and it is beautiful. Only gripe is no height adjustment.

>>58627229

it's not so much the fault of monitor development as it is th fault of gpu development being behind the times. we were gaming 1600x1200 like 15 years ago, there's no reason that we just recently got 1080p conquered.

gpu's have been engineered to that 1080p tier of performance for so long that 4k was finally a wakeup call when everybody saw their games running at 15 fps on high end cards.

not to mention how everybody shits on sli and xfire or how half of games don't use it or don't use it well.

by 2020 these won't be problems anymore, and yo fags will be arguing over 200 hz VR instead.

Is this decent for gaming? its in my budget and i like the size

A few months ago I bought this monitor:

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-27-Inch-Viewing-Monitor-S27D390H/dp/B00IEZGY2Q

At the time I only wanted something that had an IPS display and cost 200€ or less, and I settled for this one because it was big. I was used to small monitors so I was sold on the 27" as soon as I saw it in person.

I don't particularly like the glossy finish though, and the stand is wobbly as fuck. It also doesn't have a VESA mount, which I would have liked.

I'm thinking of selling it and buying a new one. What is a good monitor you would recommend with a 200€ budget? With a VESA mount preferably, but no biggie if it doesn't have it.

Looking for a 1440p 27" IPS monitor that is higher than 60 Hz and doesn't drop frames, have severe ghosting, or terrible response times. Are there any out there in the $200-350 range? Can't seem to find anything.

>>58628760
That doesn't mean manufacturing costs have come down unless there is some breakthrough in technology.

Hell remember back when DDR3 RAM was $20 for 8GB? Then they realized they flooded the market so they started producing less, and then there was a literal flood that destroyed a few foundries, and suddenly DDR3 RAM was back at $40-50 for 8GB.

>>58628708
well currently the dell 27" 144 can be had for 499.99 at best buy. but point taken. Still a decent price for those specs if you can power it

>>58628249
Bump for interest. I'd love to have a few mobile phone sized displays dotted around for status displays and such.

Running two P2416Ds, would like to get a 1440p 120Hz+ monitor to go in the middle. Do any 24" models exist, or should I get a 27"/wait for Dell to release a not shit FreeSync monitor?

I watch anime WHILE i'm gaming, so two monitors works more for me than a single ultrameme.

>>58629054

I did. Actually worked out pretty great.

>>58629082
>watching anime WHILE gaming
Either you'll have your game paused all the time or you'll miss out on anime titties. No thanks

>>58615124

Why don't you have an IPS 32" 4k yet?

>>58629861
Because 137PPI requires GUI scaling.


~36" is the smallest you'd be able to do without GUI scaling, that gives 122PPI which is the same as a 24" 1440p panel.

My personal preference is a 40" 4k which gives you 110PPI which is comparable to a 27" 1440p monitor (108PPI)

>>58614253
this drives me UP THE WALL

>>58629806
stop buying gaming laptops jesus.

you will run into heat and noise issue. idc who makes it. if apple made a gaming laptop or whatever. you can't escape the engineering aspect of it. THE MACHINE HAS A POWERFUL GPU AND CPU inside it. It's gonna get hot. But anon I can just put it on a desk.

Yeah and it will make a lot of sound.

Get a fucking desktop and a shitty netbook.

Planning on getting this. Am I making a mistake?
PS: I am completely fine with the PPI of my 24" 1080p, this has the same density.

Picked this up recently, but with pivot/height adjustable stand.

don't know how I did, because I have nothing to compare it with lol

>>58615348
just run the games at 1080 lol

>>58630880
yeah, I'll probably just do that. the downscaling just werks. feel shitty I didn't grab a 144hz but most games I play don't take advantage of it anyway. thanks dude.

get an ultrawide, 3440 x 1440 100hz

>>58631232
I have RX480 and doubt it could do above 60 fps on modern games like withcer 1080p

so 144hz would seem waste too with a low end gpu

>>58630871
same, it's great

>>58630871
what's the model?

>LG Electronics 27UD68P-B
Is it this one?

>>58631242
yeah get a fedora

What do you guys think is the best ppi for a laptop? i wanna buy one and Id really like something where the fonts are sharp and nice.

is 1080p enough for a 13.3"-14" screen?

>>58631343
>27UD68P-B
yeah, this one.. but you better double check to not get the normal stand.

I just want a good ultrawide monitor that doesn't cost more than my whole computer. Is that too much to ask?

>>58607032
>Well priced
No

27" 144hz+ IPS monitors are overpriced to the point of parody.

Guys guys
When did they start making 24" 1440p monitors for <$200?

I've had two 27" 1440p's around $300, but my first one was literally the first-gen North-Korean dumpster trash (worked for four years before the PSU finally went).

I was on ebay looking to see how cheap 1920x1080 SIPS/PLS monitors were and got hyped when I saw the 1440p monitors, some even include rotating stands (not many with VESA at the low end, sadly)

By the end of the year I might get a 27" UHD monitor or two 24" QHD, and I will praise the sun

>>58631474
For laptops you inherently have a further view distance than a desktop. 1080p is definitely a hard limit I'd do for 13.4", even at 15.6" 1080p is too tight at normal DPIs to be usable by most people comfortably. You can go higher of course, but then don't forget it will beat the shit out of your GPU and power consumption.

>>58603006
Ridiculously low pixel density.

>>58629039
You still can, look for the cheapest Qnix QX2710 on Ebay.

No wonder you think that's good, you're 10 years behind

>>58629913
That sounds awful
I have dual 27 inch 4k monitors ips freesync
It's comfy
Consider the fact that current flagship phones have 2560x1440 resolution on 5 inch screens

Wew enjoy your GUI scaling which only works in native windows applications because most devs have no idea how to properly scale their UI.

GUI scaling is SHIT in non-native apps, and until that changes, you wont convince me of your meme PPI.

>>58635595
Well you're primarily wrong but thanks for your opinion

>>58635634
Explain.

Do non-native windows apps scale well with the GUI scaling or not?

Literally every professional developer i've spoken to about it laments the fact windows is only JUST now getting around to doing something about it, and it ONLY really works well in native windows applications, which don't get me wrong, is a good start. But if half my fucking applications have retarded sized GUI because they don't scale with the OS GUI scaling, then what the fuck is the point in having such a high PPI?

Give me a normal NON-scaled GUI with ~110PPI of a 40" 4k and I can fit a FULL 4x1080p windows open on ONE monitor with everything visible.

Your 27" "4k" monitors are only giving you a 1440p desktop because you have to GUI scale in order to read anything without it being SUPER tiny text.
