Monitor Thread

>>58700525
Currently have the XB270HU from Acer. I want a similar 1440p monitor, although it doesn't need G-Sync or 144hz. All the other Acer models have been removed in this kind of category. Are there some around the corner?

Also, Dell vs Acer? If Dell were to release a non TN panel with G-Sync, 144hz in 27" i'd be hard pressed not to buy it, smaller bezels and better picture quality. Or am i retarded?

Have the PG348Q myself, it's pretty fucking great. I still keep a 1080p IPS 27" second monitor to the side.

Are there no decent glass panels in existence other than iMac?

I fucking hate matte.

>>58702115
What do you use as a secondary monitor?

>>58702216
I also wish glass was more common without being more expensive solely because they would be very easy to clean.

Has anyone here had any experience with the Dell Ultrasharp range? U2412M, U2414H, U2417H etc.

I was thinkinh of getting one after being dissatisfied with the Asus VX239H.

>>58702687
they're great man, only monitor worth fucking with

>>58702785
Alright thanks, have you owned one of them? If so which model? I was leaning towards the U2414H as it's the cheapest here in NZ.

As someone who enjoy games, but isn't into fast paced competitive bullshit... what are some good options, I quite like dell, currently using a U2209 and would quite like something a bit more immersive.

>>58702939
What's your budget?

>>58700525
Utrameme is great. I have X34A and it's everything my old 27' IPS was, but better suited for vidya. Initially I was going to sell the second monitor but then I got addicted of 2560x1440 + 3440x1440 setup.

It's sexy, IPS and 2K which is perfect.
I don't want 4K.

Is that a good price for it?

i've had four of these and returned them all. 3 had dead pixels and 1 had severe light bleed + dead pixels. cba with dell because they obviously use second rate panels in their affordable monitors

>>58703062
There are multiple definitions of 2k, and it depends on context (TVs or monitors). Regardless, 2560x1440 falls well above the minimum threshold to be considered 2k regardless of which definition you accept.

It got the defacto name 2k since it's obtained by doubling 1280x720 in both dimensions, while 4k is doubling 1920x1080 in both dimensions

>>58700525
Any idea when OLEDs will become cheap?

>>i.e. <$1000

How's the ViewSonic XG2401? I bought an Asus MG248Q the other day but noticed it had scanlines at 144Hz, which is apparently a common issue, so I returned it and saw that the XG2401 was on sale on Newegg.

2560x1440 is sometimes called "2.5k", never "2k".

The proper name is QHD.

"2k" is technically 2048 x 1080
But you can also call 1920x1080 "2k", if there aren't any aspies around.

>>58702687
They USED to be great.
But they have gone downhill recently.

Hey, so I'm considering getting a new monitor for work. Not gaming, but work. I'd like a near bezel-less monitor.

Do I go with the Dell Ultrasharp series?

>>58704896
>not 1.92k

Who else here fell for the Dell UltraSharp meme?

the anti glare coating is so fucking grainy that you can see it from across the room

can /g/ recomend me a monitor that is 2k and 120hz or more and wont break the bank

I own a LG34UC88.

Very satisfied. Use it for gaming and programming. Don't miss a second screen as this has enough space for what I do. Could always pop open the laptop if I need more.

I'm gonna upgrade from my 24" 1080p to a 27" 1440p soon. The pixel density on the 27" is going to be a bit higher but not too high. That's important for me because I don't believe in UI scaling (face it, it doesn't work on any OS excep Mac) but I also can't cope with smaller text due to my eyesight. My glasses can't fix it to 100% and small text is a no-go for me. I'm going to use my old 24" as a secondary monitor then.

>>58700525
What is the general opinion on viewsonic monitors?

Post a better monitor than Samsung CF791. Protip you can't.

>>58706383

Been having a shit time looking for a monitor.

I currently have limited space, so I'm trying to find a monitor (or TV if I find one) that I can use for both my PC and something like say an Xbox One, PS4 or Bluray player. If I can get at least one DVI and one HDMI port and something that I could plug my current external speakers into all somewhere between 24-26 inches. Everything I find is missing one of these components. If any anons know a good monitor that could meet these requirements that'd be swell.

Which TN is better Asus Swift or Acer predator?

>>58700525
Im still waiting for a screen with better image quality than my 10 years old CRT.

>>58702687
>U2414H

I have that one connected to a 1070 via DP. It's pretty good. I game a lot on it. Has very low input lag. TFT central measured it at 4ms which is stupid low, especially for an IPS

>>58706891
But why? If the pixel density is high enough (>100) a 32" is perfect for dektop use.

Anyone own the Samsung Quantum Dot monitors?

I'm waiting on the 27inch 1440p one.

>>58708202
>inb4 OLED

While I don't think Burn-in is a big problem (unless you leave your monitor without even a screensaver) its still expesnive

I just bought a PLS Monitor and the blacks are great

>>58702065
Is that a TN panel? If it's IPS it'll have the same panel as the Asus MG279Q I've ordered. How is the backlight bleed?

Also Acer are considered a bad monitor maker. Asus aren't much better. Dell are highly regarded.

>>58703062
>http://lmgtfy.com/?iie=1&q=what+is+considered+2K+resolution
2560x1440 is in fact 2K.

>>58704896
Actually, "HDTV" is 720p, 1080p is "Full HD" or "FHD"

>>58708283
Dell is great, not sure about the newer Asus monitors.

In my Country Dell is a bit more expensive (specially the Ultrasharp ones) but LG and Samsungs are high tier as well

>>58702065
I would take Dell over Acer any day. When I think of Acer I don't necessarily think of a cutting edge name brand like with Dell, LG, HP, Asus, Samsung, etc.

>>58708291
1080p is basically 2K, it's a pointless descriptor.

I'm looking to buy a 27" 1440p monitor with great colors for less than $500. Currently using an Asus VG248 144hz and the colors look like ass. Any recommendations?

Any info on IIYAMA screens? Are they any good? I've seen a lot of enthusiastic reviews but I don't know if I can trust them.

>>58708283
>>58708311
Literally the only reason I went for an Asus is because there is only one panel out there that is:

>IPS
>1440p
>144 Hz

And there are only two implementations with FreeSync. One is an Asus and one is an Acer. Asus is the lesser of two evils. I don't expect any customer service from them though, but Amazon should take care of that.

>>58708374
If the multi screen feature is useful to you, it's ok. I'd still prefer 2 seperate screens over 4 emulated though

>>58708374
Alright, poorfag here, even for the cheapest 4k.

I would rather go with this

I only have good experience with LG (They made the best TN panel I ever used, on pair with a cheaper LG IPS)

>>58708390
There is actually another option:

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG271QG-Gaming-Monitor-G-Sync/dp/B01G5JYMNA

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG271QX-Gaming-Monitor-144hz/dp/B01G5JYN0C/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1485719421&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=AOC+Agon

>>58708463
No. First one isn't FreeSync, second one is a TN panel.

>>58708485
Oh wow. I though they were the same only the adaptive refresh is different.

Then you went good with the Asus. Although Presonally the IPS response time is kinda bad for competive games, where the 144hz Usually shines.

But I guess for other games, it would work nicely

>>58708535
*Adaptive sync

>>58708535
Response times are great, check the TFTCentral review:

I got the 240hz BenQ XL2540. People who say it's not as big of a difference as 60 > 120 are memeing. This is outrageously smooth.

Only thing is that there's noticeable ghosting. When I scroll text I can notice it lightly ghosting, and the bottom UFO on http://www.testufo.com/#test=ghosting ghosts a fair bit.

AMA is set to high.

>>58708635
Set AMA to medium and check it again

>>58708635

That's not ghosting, it's inverse ghosting. If there are BenQ monitors out there where AMA High doesn't produce stupid amounts of inverse ghosting, I'm unaware of them.

You can attempt the "AMA low" (patent pending on Falkentyne's behalf) trick though and see if it works on the XL2540.

I've got Samsung's S27C750p which is an outstanding AMVA and a LG 24GM77. I've also got a bunch of old LCDs and a really good Philips 109P which is a fucking beast. I don't use it anymore though and I miss it dearly, even if I don't miss 4:3.

>>58707711
AOC has lots of models in that size and with all connection standards available, I suggest looking them up since they are both consistent with connection interfaces, low pricing, decent image quality (good for its price) and lots of options in terms of monitor specs.

>>58707868
Depends on model unit and how good you are at calibrating them.

I'd say both are equal but ASUS has more premium

>>58708688
There is no medium, only 'off, 'high' and 'premium'

I'm fine with it on high desu, this is just used for FPS and I never notice the ghosting except in text scrolling on web pages.

I can definitely say, by the way, that my 144hx xl2411z didn't ghost like this with AMA on high. I never noticed ghosting on that monitor.

>>58708734
Hmmm. there is a minor ghosting on my 144hz Monitor as well, and a slight overscan.

It kinda dissapears if I set the Response time from high to Medium.

Also it has a Lightboost clone which kills the ghosting. I heard BenQ High Refresh monitor has this feature as well...

>>58708569
I'm so confused with Response time and input lag.

I'm currently rocking with an LG 24GM77. I usually using it in 144hz but it also has a Lightboost clone called Motion 240. (Pic related)

It says >1ms response time only avaible in Motion 240 mode (Which is only available in 100-120Hz)

If I mostly play Competive shooter (CS GO and Overmeme) which one should I choose?

Anyone got any experience with budget ultrawides?

I would like an ultra wide monitor, but I really don't care about high end features, as it wouldn't be for professional use.

Anyone got any experience with any budget ultrawides? Cheapest one I have seen was still £450, which is more than I want to spend.

>>58709460

Would be used for various things. Got a windows PC which is used exclusively for gaming, so is rarely set up at my desks. Also got an iMac and shitty laptop which is what I want the ultrawide for. Just more screen real estate for coding and shitposting.

>>58708836
>Hmmm. there is a minor ghosting on my 144hz Monitor as well, and a slight overscan.

What do you mean "overscan"? Are you sure you don't mean scanlines?

>It kinda dissapears if I set the Response time from high to Medium.

24GM77 has a lot of overshoot on High, but medium is perfect. I do use High though because I like the kind of unnatural boldening effect the inverse ghosting causes in Overwatch. Makes things pop a bit.

>I'm so confused with Response time and input lag.

Don't be. "Input lag" is caused by the scaler, it's simply a flat lag in comparison to your actions. Response time is how fast it takes for a pixel to change color entirely. It varies depending on the shades it's transitioning between.

When calculating net input lag, some websites take inpug lag into account as well as the response time in attempts to present the full picture.

>>58709237

144hz with DAS. Motion 240 unfortunately causes unnecessary input lag:

http://display-corner.epfl.ch/index.php/LG_24GM77

If you're into strobing, you're better off with a BenQ monitor like the XL2430. The new XL2540 can strobe as well.

I've had a XL2430 for a while. I've used strobing on it (at 125hz because beyond that, there was just too much crosstalk even with a very aggressive VT tweak) but I realized I just prefer 144hz. It feels smother and the sacrifice in motion clarity in comparison to strobing doesn't really affect my gameplay in Overwatch. And really, Overwatch is a poster child for strobing because it's one of the most visually chaotic competitive games out there right now.

>>58709725
O shit. I meant Overshoot with Overscan. Sorry.

Thank you for clearing things up!

Just found another review with Input lag/Response time tests

>>58709632
Sadly nope, but I did a ton of research last year, but instead I went with a 144Hz panel.

Currently having 3 monitors (1 PLS with freesync, 1 IPS, 1 TN 144hz)
>>58709579
If you have an AMD gpu, you could also use the Freesync option. Most LG Ultrawide comes with Freesync.
>>58709782
Yeah I was just checking that site. I already using this monitor for a 6 months now, never really bothered about Motion 240 before thats why I asked

>>58709789

You don't need to worry about anything in regards to how fast your 24GM77. It's just as fast as any monitor using that panel (M240HW01) and there's fucking loads of them out there. XL2430, XL2411, XL2420G, VG248QE, XG2401 -- all same panel and they're all equally responsive. If you find one with this panel that's slower, somebody screwed something up.

And this is about as fast as it gets for LCDs, so don't worry.

>>58708264
>>58709859
Which model is the PLS one?

>>58709882
http://www.samsung.com/uk/monitors/led-sf350/LS24F350FHUXEN/

It was only 130 Euro, first I bought it to replace my IPS monitor for a freesync one, now I'm consider trying them out in an Eyefinity setup.

It was a nice suprised when I enabled Freesync, the refresh rate went up to 72hz. I OC'd to 75 (I like round numbers). While its nowhere smooth as a 120-144hz screen, its still an upgrade over 60hz.

I don't think this monitor is avaible in the US but..
>>58709573
http://www.samsung.com/it/consumer/it/monitor/led-monitor/LS24E370DL/EN Maybe this? Has Freesync and probably bumps up to 72hz as well

This is the monitor I recommend nowadays for general/casual use (movies, browsing, single player gaming):

http://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/led/samsung-24-curved-led-monitor-lc24f390fhnxza/

Looks better than any AH-IPS I've seen and you get your freesync. And it's cheap. The curve is cool and actually kind of useful in games (hard to explain, will elaborate if necessary) but it would be kind of annoying in Photoshop or CAD. But that's why I said general/casual use.

OLED WHEN?

>>58710021
Nah, currently both card makers a bit shitty.

Nvidia makes more polished products (altough Maxwell and anything before didn't aged well) but they became too much of a monopoly.

AMD on the other hand became really open-source, but they constantly fucking up their hype train, while the 480 is a solid choice over the 1060, we still know almost nothing about VEGA and its releases in <5 months.

>>58710043
I considered buying that one, but here in Hungary it cost 220-230 dollars. Im pretty sure we got the same PLS panel type. Really good colors, deep blacks... Altough my whites a bit washed out (like a TN panel) but its nothing horrible

>>58710100
>Im pretty sure we got the same PLS panel type

The CF390 is a VA though, which is why I recommend it over IPS monitors.

I've got an older VA with appreciably better contrast than the new 3000:1 models, but they're nothing to sneer at either.

I don't really see a purpose for IPS monitors outside of photography / print prep work and anything else that demands strict color accuracy at wide enough viewing angles not to cause gamma/hue shift when viewed head-on.

How many curved monitors have you used?

>>58710168
Ah Never had a VA monitor before. My bad, should have read the specification.

I watch a lot of movies, and for that IPS/PLS monitors are great. (Fury Road & John Wick vibrant colors looks great)

>>58710175
The main disadvantage of curved monitors are their price, but his is relative cheap for a VA panel. Also literally every second monitor comes with Freesync so why the reaction?

>>58710212
Whats your Freesync range? 48-72?

>>58710242

I don't have a Freesync range because I don't own a Freesync monitor.

>I watch a lot of movies, and for that IPS/PLS monitors are great. (Fury Road & John Wick vibrant colors looks great)

Movies are where VA monitors shine the most because the deeper blacks and the corresponding higher contrast ratio (in comparison to TN and IPS/PLS/AHVA alternatives) make for an even more vibrant/punchy image.

The gamma shift makes off-axis viewing washed out though. I think the virtues of IPS monitors are exaggerated in this regard though because the image takes on a slightly dark cast when viewed from an angle. And if you're viewing dark content, there's the very obvious IPS glow.

>>58710297
Ah I thought you using the CF 390. What monitor you use?

>>58710341

Samsung's S27C750p. Older AMVA:

https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/samsung-s27c750p/

Also LG's 24GM77 for multiplayer FPS.

>>58710469
Looks nice.

Currently I'm in Italy working for the winter with my PC+LG24GM77. I went home January for 5 days and bought the Samsung PLS panel. The third monitor I've been using is an LG one. I wanted to replace it because the blacks looked horrible. But when I hooked it up with a DVI-D connector (Had to use the HDMI one for the new Freesync PLS one) the blacks became a bit more deeper.

Do you have a minor side-bleed on your 24gm77? I have a bit but only noticable when the screen is full black

>>58710216

>>58710543
>Do you have a minor side-bleed on your 24gm77? I have a bit but only noticable when the screen is full black

Yes, of course. Some bleeding at the bottom and a big clouding stain on the right side. I've tried out three XL2430s and another 24GM77 before I settled on this one. I kept returning monitors because of a different problem (horizontal scanlines, long story). Anyway, all had either edge bleeding or clouding or both. There was one XL2430 which was almost perfect, but still slightly cloudy.

But really, in this regard, I've only seen three perfect LCDs in my entire life. Friend's P2414, another friend's VG248QE and my S27C750p. Everything else had a degree of bleeding. You can't go out there and expect no light bleed at all, you have to be extremely lucky to get something like that. Instead, you have to aim for acceptable rather than perfect.

With VAs this is much less of an issue because of how they work. Friend has a CF390 with a few spots of edge bleed. But they're only visible at extreme angles and completely invisible head-on, regardless of content or ambient light.

>>58710605
>No the main disadvantage is that they are shite.

You're gonna have to use one before saying something like that. They're easy to hate because it looks like a stupid gimmick, but it's actually very neat in practice and not at all what you'd expect.

Sup /g/ I need your help.

I'm looking to upgrade from my Dell ultrawide. I will be using it to do modeling, photoshop and gaming. Ideally I want would want something large, 4k with gsync. But since that doesn't really exist I'm currently looking at these two TVs

Sony 49" X800D IPS 30ish ms lag No PWM

Samsung 49" KS8000 VA 20ish ms lag but it uses PWM
http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ks8000

Any thoughts? I've been sticking to IPS panels for the last 10 years and never tried a VA. Is it dumb to get a VA panel if i'm going to be doing color work? Anything coming down the pipeline that I should wait for in the next year?

>I heard the Asus VG248QE causes headaches and Eyestrain due the PWM flicker.

That's an internet meme. I've survived just fine with a CRT strobing at 85hz.

Not that there's any good reason for PWM dimming and it's true that it being unsynchronized with the refresh rate of the monitor, it causes something like "mini-crosstalk". If this strobing is at low enough frequency, this can shit up motion clarity a bit. But newer revision of the VG248QE strobed at a high enough frequency not to be perceptible though.

It's not really a good monitor today though. Shit color accuracy out of the box with stupid high color temperature. The best I can say for it is that my friend was very lucky and good one without any light bleed whatsoever. Well, also, the overdrive on it is great, but most manufacturers (other than BenQ) have their shit straight in that regard.

>I didn't regret buying the LG24gm77. First 144hz Monitor, I hope LG makes another TN one.(perhaps 1440p+Freesync)

LG made a 120hz monitor a long time ago:

http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-W2363D-3d-lcd-monitor

This and the 24GM77 are their only forays into this territory that I know of. But perhaps they've got a high refresh rate ultrawide right now that I don't know of.

The 24GM77 really is pretty good though. Decent color accuracy and all it takes is adjusting the gamma a little bit in your game of choice and you're pretty much set.

>The 24GM77 really is pretty good though.
I own it and I agree. Only gripe, lowest backlight level is still too bright in a dimly lit room. I also believe it's been discontinued.

where are freesync 2 monitors?

Someone try and convince me this isn't the best 1080p 144hz gaming monitor out right now.

oh god almighty, that a pleb

>>58711182
>I own it and I agree. Only gripe, lowest backlight level is still too bright in a dimly lit room.

Yeah, it's a fucking torchlight. Just make sure the autobrightness is off, that setting is fucking counter-intuitive in regards to what "ON" and "OFF" is.

>I also believe it's been discontinued.

That's a rumor based on it being absent from LG's website for a while. It's still manufactured though. My own has been made in 2016.

>>58711282
Not really just want 144+ frames in all games for a few years without spending 700 dollars on a gpu

What's a good second monitor to complement my xg2401 (144hz 1080p tn)? IPS or VA? currently looking at the Dell U2417H since it's right around my budget (max $250)

>>58711244

Well, you're not wrong so that's gonna be difficult.

The only reason to consider a different model is if it's not available where you live or if you're into strobing in which case BenQ is the only logical route.

Do 4k 144hz freesync 2 monitors exist yet?

>>58711360
>4k
>144hz
no
gotta have better cable standards before that happens

>>58711387
How long will that take?

>>58702101
does that monitor have vesa mounts?

>>58711546

Which one?

>>58712042
dear god the asus goes for 250 on sale dont buy that thing at that price.

When will there be an affordable Gsync monitor?

>>58709945
Too bad that PLS panel seems to have alot of backlight bleeding, which is a real turn off for me.

I would pay $1000 for a modern, 240hz CRT

Why did they have to abandon SED.

>>58712186
No, there will never be an affordable gsync monitor.

If nvidia ever manages to pull their head out of their ass, what they will do is offer support for freesync on all their cards and deprecate gsync entirely.

Currently have a U2515H. It's a pretty good upgrade from my old P2312H

>no 1440p 21:9 144hz gsync announced at CES this year

and another 12 months of waiting begins.

>>58712525
There's not going to be any more gsync

Goddamn nvidiafags, get it through your heads, none of the monitor manufacturers want to waste money on that bullshit when nobody buys it.

People value saving $100+ over having sync tech.

>>58712186
Gsync will always be $200 more. The modules cost about that much.

as the other dude says, nvidia aren't going to support freesync whilst they can get away with it.

If you're buying nvidiot and going for a decent setup an extra $200 really isn't that much though.

>>58712556
I don't give a fuck what poor people want. Pass the cost entirely onto the consumer. I'd still buy it.

if i'm at 1080p, cpu is pretty much always the bottleneck for games, right?

>>58712617
no.

depends on the game, cpu, and gpu.

>>58708283
It's not a TN, it's an IPS. Myself and a friend of mine both were able to buy these on sale for about 800 AUD. Both of us have very little light bleed, thankfully. I've heard it has been quite a problem with these monitors though.

I have this one and love it. Games look so much better on it.

The only downside on it is that it looks bad if you downgrade to 1600 x 900. I prefer turning it down to that size when not playing vidya/watching movies, but it's noticeably different from my old monitor.

I don't even know how to respond to this.

Why the fuck do you do that?

>>58712772

Everything looks small when upscaled. Like, font, folders, apps, all of that.

>>58712825
I just want a frame sync solution that works with my card.

IDGAF if it's gsync or freesync.

Also, there is no 1440p 21:9 144hz freesync on the market either

so tldr fuck you.

UI scaling motherfucker, work it out.

Not shite, just stupid cash grab. Curved displays were made simply because it was possible to do so and can be marketed to normies. Cinema screens are curved because there is an actual, technical reason to do so and it does not apply to monitors.

Buying curved display is falling for a marketing meme.

Very good choice. Am considering one of these as my secondary.
