Screen hardware is on steroids at the moment so its hard to know when the right time to drop $1000+ on something really good will be

Why live

Anyone who does this is an idiot. I design a system around the screen. The resolution and refresh rate dictates the GPU based on the customers choice of games, and to a lesser extent also the CPU depending on whether the games they play are CPU intensive. This then dictates all other components in the build.

So for example someone wants a 3440x1440 75hz screen to play AAA titles on, I'm going to recommend a gtx1080 and a 6700K. 1080P gets a 1060 or 480. You get my drift.

Too scared I'll end up with dead pixels on a really expensive monitor.

The problem is that it's a terrible time to buy a monitor, and has been for a couple of years now.

I don't want a huge monitor or resolution beyond 1080p.

LCDs are all fucking garbage. It's not worth spending money on a "good LCD monitor" with motion blur and IPS glow out the ass.

Thoughts on just buying a high end 4k TV as monitor on a workstation pc?

>>59275267
They should have HDMI 2.1 which supports its own adaptive refresh rate tech anyway

>>59278731
How high end? Because the only 4K TVs you should be considering are OLED.

So do you guys use DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI?

My hundred dollar asus monitor is pretty good though, especially when calibrated and overclocked to 75hz

>>59276372
Input lag is a pretty big deal with TVs. I'm not a twitch gamer so I don't really care that much about normal desktop monitor lag, but the vast majority of TVs have REALLY terrible lag, sometimes even in their supposed "game mode." So bad that it's annoying even when doing something as mundane as shitposting on /g/.

Also, cheap TVs are shit as monitors, so you're basically looking to either spend a lot of money on a really good monitor or spend lots of money on a really good TV.

Nothing below an LG UH8500 or Samsung KS8000 has 4:4:4 Chroma at 60 Hz, which is the bare minimum for desktop monitors since the early 2000's, and those are $1000 and up TVs (although I got a 55" one for $700 on black friday last year, but even then, $700 can go a long way in the monitor world). Even at 4k, 4:4:4 is a pretty big deal for desktop use.

>>59278571
>>59278634
The B6/C6 55" have dipped to $1400 occasionally in the past year, which is pretty fucking good. That's really no more expensive than a really big, really high end desktop monitor, which still looks like shit next to an OLED. But again, as stated above, input latency is not great, even by my watered down standards. This is especially true for the vast majority of OLED TVs.

Also, putting some TVs in game mode does come with an image quality cost. Why would there be a game mode that magically reduces latency if it didn't have some sort of penalty? If it did not have a trade-off, it wouldn't be called game mode, it would be just a standard feature in all of that TV's modes.

Still, if you got the money, I doubt you'd be displeased with an OLED.

Why is 144Hz more common than 120Hz?

>>59278781
Anyone who uses a good TV as a monitor is going to be using HDMI because TV manufacturers and the industry is retarded.

>>59278881
It became a meme first just like 4k over 1440p

>>59275735
>but then QLED comes out
QLED is a poor man's OLED. OLED was, is, and will continue to be superior to QLED.

QLED is basically Samsung's butthurt damage control marketing to try to convince retards that that they can finally compete against OLED after years of getting stomped in the high end (even though they're still not even in the same league).

It's kind of funny though, OLED is and will continue to be the king of super high end, but in the realm of non-OLED, Samsung destroys LG just as hard with their KS8000/KS9000 series vs. LG's mediocre UH8500/UH9500.

>>59275821
Sorry.

>$900 on pc

>>59278881
divisible by 24

so in other words the ass backwards "cinema" industry is influencing bad standards, again

My PC is worth probably like $2k if I had to buy everything new again. My monitor I got for $600. Was originally $800. 32" Samsung 1440p. Amazing stand and 4 port USB 3.0 hub. I don't plan on moving up from this until 4k is becoming as common as 1080p and/or 4k IPS 60hz over HDMI is standard enough to be sub $500 for a good IPS OLED panel.

>>59278985

>>59280728
Where are good monitors from NEC and other proper manufacturers? Is the market now dominated by asus and acer and shit like that?

>>59280728
Do any modern games run well enough to exploit 144hz at anything above 1080p anyways? Like this is a huge internal debate for me, I understand that a higher refresh rate as a whole is better, but I hate the idea of paying extra money for a panel when current, and likely next generation hardware can't even push it. And then features like free-sync and g-sync just piss me off even more because they're not perfect solutions and they commit you to one GPU mfg or the other to some extent. And with resolution I've dicked around with high ppi monitors and frankly they don't impress me, especially at smaller scales and the content is sorely lacking anyways so you end up making compromises with your scaling which isn't the worst thing ever, but it's certainly not a great thing and this applies to videogames and video media alike. And now it seems like there's a certain heat kicking up with aspect ratios where people are declaring 16:9, 16:10, and 21:9 are all the new kings while some oddballs are still content with their 4:3 panels. This will surely foster more neglect from the film industry, especially for what is my favorite, the 21:9 ratio. Basically, /g/ents, my heart is breaking and that's why I'm still using a laggy ass TV for literally everything.

Is Freesync/G-sync worth the price? I don't think I ever noticed tearing unless pointed out in a video.

What /g/ considers a good monitor:
>muh inches
>muh resolution
>muh pixel size
>muh Hz
>muh low response times

What actually constitutes a good monitor:
>color reproduction, stability and uniformity
>backlight uniformity
>individual factory calibration
>high bit LUT (preferably writeable for custom hardware calibration)
>wide gamut
>GBr backlight
>high PWM at low brightness levels
>high quality electronics (stable power circuits, overdrive circuits, uniformity compensation circuits etc.)

That's the reason why Eizo or NEC entry-level office models cost 3 times the price of your average battlestation thread meme display at half the resolution. And why their professional models cost an arm and a leg.

>>59274624
>Shouldn't the screen be one of your main concerns, right after the CPU and GPU?
No, because it doesn't improve performance in any way. RAM and storage is more important. But to each it's own. Personally I place great importance on RAM because I always have lots of shit open at once. Everyone is entitled to make their own choices.

>>59281319
Also, GPU could be the last concern of someone who doesn't need it. Could be just as irrelevant as a sound card.

Would 1080p be fine for 27" if I actually want things to be a little bigger? My glasses are heavily minus, so they make things slightly smaller.

Varies from title to title. For example games like DOOM were very easy to cap fps on. But depending on your hardware, even getting to 100 fps is noticibally different, and that's when adaptive sync does it's part. Adaptive sync is awesome, but you're right Nvidia should just use Freesync instead of using their own proprietary modules.

I have two $130 monitors currently. Sometime in the future when I have more income I would like two 1440p or 4K monitors.

>>59284023

Does adaptative sync smooth out the stuttering when framerate drops or is its effect limited to screen tearing?

>>59287025

It smooths it out. Especially on 60hz monitors this is really nice.

Tearing is easy to prevent, even without the usual V-Sync lag and framedrops. Just use Fast Sync with Nvidia, or force tripple buffering with d3doverrider with AMD. However, doing this will make the lack of smoothness even more pronounced when you fall below your refresh rate.

1080p will be a thing for years to come. It's sort of like the earlier days of 720p and 1080p. 4k, like 1080p in the past, is too expensive right now for the average consumer. So they go with the cheaper and more common option, before it was 720p and now that option is 1080p

Shopping for monitors is pretty difficult, its like, almost all of them have a flaw, and it's trying to find the one with the features you want and the flaw you can live with.

There are too many fucking screens and most of them are overpriced or have disappointing flaws.

Now with disasters in the world economy throwing pricing so unstably, they're less accessible and less feasible for companies to profit from.
Also hello /v/. On the topic of your video games, RTS don't benefit nearly as much from visual fidelity as shooters.

Your assumptions about my computing are incorrect.

The only primary market component in my current computer is a 1060 because I wanted to play with some machine learning algorithms. I am otherwise running a used dualcore Pentium 4 with 8GB of RAM.

That said, I am planning a major upgrade this summer, because while my system is currently sufficient for my needs, but I would like to play Witcher 3 sometime this summer, and I want to set up a virtual machine with GPU passthrough Unsurprisingly, W3 didn't run well on my old dualcore. I game on a simple 32 inch HDTV that I picked up for slightly over $150 on Black Friday last year, because I like to kick back comfy af in my recliner with a gamepad. I actually use a thinkpad clitmouse as my only keyboard/mouse. So, currently my monitor is at least a third of the cost of my system, if not closer to half depending on how you would depreciate the still-working P4 box that I've gotten seven years of good working use out of so far prior to upgrading to the 1060 last fall.

Part of my upgrade at that point should be a VR headset for some other games that I'm into right now, which should cost about 50% of the cost of the box that I'll transplant the 1060 into.

I think that the reason why many people spend on their box and skimp on the monitor is that the box is what gives them the ability to conspicuously consume for the customary electronic penis measuring contests that many "computer enthusiasts" engage in. A good monitor only gives them immediate hedonic enjoyment, which among circuit 3 and 4 activated larval humanity is much less important than the struggle to jockey for social status within their chosen groups.

I dont understand OP. At all.

I still use Acer P203w monitor that is more than 7-8 years old, I cant recall anymore, with native 1680x1050. It served me well all this time, on three different PCs, current one using RX480 GPU.

I dont see ANY reason I should change it for new one. I have 1080p monitor at work and its too wide for my taste and everything is too small anyway. My home desk wont fit anything bigger either.

Display is nice and sharp, everything works without problems, so why should I change it? Especialyl since I probably wouldnt be able to find another 1050p monitor?

Go ahead, explain.

>>59307874
So you don't want accurate colors and good contrast/black blacks? And being able to look att he monitor with the colors not turning to shit if you look from the sides?

>>59307874
>Acer P203w
That has a PPI of ~99

This means that with the SAME viewing distance any other monitor with similar PPI will look identical in regards to text size and GUI elements.

For reference
>1680x1050 at 20" is 99.06 PPI
>1920x1080 at 22" is 100.13 PPI
>1920x1080 at 24" is 91.8 PPI
>2560x1440 at 27" is 108.79 PPI
>3840x2160 at 43" is 102.46 PPI


All of these resolutions and screen sizes are within ~10 pixels per inch of your current monitor and would look ever so slightly sharper, or very slightly duller than your current monitor while keeping text and GUI elements roughly the same size.


If you want a larger monitor, a 27" 1440p monitor would be a bit sharper (at 108 PPI instead of 99 PPI) but still close enough to have text be just as legible assuming you use the same viewing distance as your current monitor. This would give you much more desktop space to work with and provide a larger screen to watch media content on.

>>59307969

Colors are fine, I have to get to look at it from weird angle to actually see colors change.

Again, if everything works fine, then why change?

>>59307974

I dont actually want larger screen. I still consider elements on this 1680x1050 to be rather small and tiny on 1080p I have at work.

>>59308030
>I dont actually want larger screen. I still consider elements on this 1680x1050 to be rather small and tiny on 1080p I have at work.


What do you mean by this?

If you get a monitor with a smaller PPI, text and GUI elements are going to be larger, if you get a monitor with more PPI GUI and text elements will be smaller.

Your current PPI is 99.

Meaning ANYTHING under 99 PPI will look larger at the SAME viewing distance.

Anything OVER 99 PPI will look smaller at the SAME viewing distance.


If 99 PPI is too small for you, get something with a smaller PPI to make things look bigger.
A 32" 2560x1440p monitor will have a PPI of 91.


It's as simple as that, larger screen has NOTHING to do with how big or small text is.

>>59308094

>>59308094
You can GUI scale to 150% and make it look like 1440p @ 24", or scale to 200% and make it 1080p @ 24".

Without GUI scaling however you wont be reading text without hurting your eyes.

>>59308079

Lets assume I get bigger screen but with same PPI.

Why.

Thats the same question from the start - why should I change it. Why should I get some monster 32'' monitor and squeeze it at my desk, which would probably require new desk anyway, because that 20'' barely fits.

Why.

I'm not sure what you do for a living, but many people on here are coding, or working with multiple software tools at once, or editing files, or doing network stuff that would benefit from having monitor tools open while also having a bash console open, etc, etc.

Do you think this be a good upgrade for someone presently using a 1080p TN panel? I've truthfully never seen an IPS display before.

>>59308094

4k 28" is bad enough unscaled, 4k 24" will require scaling and it will still look tiny

on the plus side you'll be able to drop to 1080p in games if you're getting fps drop and it'll look very, very close to a 1080p 24" monitor

>>59308230
For that price i'd rather get two 1440p 25" or similar.

4k at that size simply isn't going to be all that amazing.


For me personally, I wouldn't bother with 4k without GUI scaling, which means a minimum screen size of ~36". And my preference would be 40-43"

Do OLED's have a longer lifespan yet? I burned two S4s and won't use OLED for video display panels until they increase the lifespan to LCD-tier. It's okay for minor displays that don't run for long periods of time (like my vape) and overpriced fancy shit for people who need luxury, but for real men who need gear that works through adversity and heavy use, it is insufficient technology.

Shit. Guess I'll keep looking then.
Thanks again for the input.

>>59308348
Yes OLED has longer life span now, but it still wont match what LCDs can do in terms of longevity.


Current OLEDs have issues with static burn in, but it is easily correctable using automatic tools built into the device, or manual "cleaning" modes.

Similar to where plasma was, PERMANENT burn-in isn't particularly an issue anymore unless you are really trying to damage your panel (leaving a VERY bright static image with max brightness for 10+ hours for example), it's going to be fine for easily 5 years. The issue is longevity. Current OLED panels will over time lose brightness, and in 5-10 years may become noticeably darker compared to when you first bought it.

that's a rip off. paying over $100 for a monitor is fucking retarded. I bet you spent over $500 on your rig, too. kek.

I'm not poor, I'm just not going to throw money at shit that doesnt require it. It's the same idea as buying a gaymig laptop when a normal laptop with swapped parts is cheaper and functions better depending on specs.

I never had problems with samller screen before when writing simple software, so I dont know.

As for living, Im currently during phd in solid state physics.

>If you don't see the use in having more resolution I have to imagine you're really not doing that much with your computer to begin with anyway and could probably get by with a laptop or tablet.

Hey, I was being nice, no point in insulting me now.

Not to mention that laptop with proper specs would cost me fortune and I like to play some video games too.

Look, no one is saying you can't use a smaller monitor just fine. But it's objectively better to be able to have more shit on the screen at the same time, and assuming you have identical pixel density, it will look the same, just give you more space to work with.

If you can't fit it in your desk, or you're constrained in some other manner, that's different.

My Qnix QX2710 died (MOSFET burnt the board)

I'm thinking of getting the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q

Thoughts ?

Legit question: why do people fall for the 4k meme? Sure it's gorgeous, but most of the web isn't optimized for it yet so while games and some vids might look gorgeous, regular browsing can be a pain (tiiiiiny font)

>>59311460

Because they just fell for it.

the largest 4k panel aimed at PC's is the same pixel density as a 27" 1440p display, which is what intelligent people go for, 4k makes no sense unless your screen is huge.

>>59281049
Gamut and calibration are definitely really important if you're into anything visual/artistic. Having a display with larger gamut is also necessary at the professional stage. It's amazing what a difference it can make.

>>59311480
This. I mean yeah it's the top end of viable options right now but it seems hardly ideal for desktop use. 1440p seems like a significantly more practical choice for the time being. Maybe as things move towards 4k it will be a little more accessible but for now it just feels more like a novelty or extreme luxury.

>>59311460
I was going to pull the trigger on 2k 144hz but if I play a 4k video in the future (on YouTube or something) or view a 4k image I don't want to have to downscale it, I want to be able to view it in its original glory. 4k seems to be the new meme so I want to be prepared for it and not regret my purchase in 3 years (monitors retain their value a long time).

>>59311480
This.

27", 1440p, 144hz, 100% sRGB, IPS is the best screen on the market right now, and will continue to be the best screen for several more years.

>>59311750

Yeah, like the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q

If only AUO didn't have shit quality control.

>>59311304

People who buy these monitors at those insane prices are so fucking dumb.

>>59311750
Are there any screens like this but 24 or 25"?
27" is too big for my desk space.

>>59311893
Not currently that I am aware of.

>>59274624
I spent $330 on my DELL U2515H, great panel.

>>59311750
So if I were buying a monitor today I should buy this?

What's the problem you dumb faggot? It works just fine

>>59311882

More like smart, you have no idea how amazing it looks. The Korean A- fad is over and is the only reason the usual brands offer these displays now.

>>59311929

> He probably owns a TN LCD TV too

>>59311923

No, for that you're paying for no screen uniformity issues, no BLB, and mostly for it to come calibrated.

It probably has fucktons of input lag.

>>59311959
Well can you recommend me any manufacturers that offer panels that meet your standards?
Because I can't find anything that has all of them; eg. If it's 100% color space then usually it won't be 144Hz.

>>59311945
Strictly Samsung TVs

>>59311945
Are modern TN's really that bad?

I spent 500 or so on 3 1080p tn monitors. I'd like to buy a 27inch 1440p 60hz ips monitor. You guys have any suggestions?

>buying anything other than an IPS HP monitor

Go to bed kids you have school in the morning

>>59312157
Ultrasharps have a more consistent track record than HPs in recent years. Not to mention having a wider selection.

Guys, I am looking for a 5:4 or 4:3 or similar monitor that is 24 inches or larger and DOESN'T cost four-figures

Can I buy such a monitor without shady craigslist dealings?

>>59312071
sell your other monitors to pay for it

anyone use both VA and IPS before? Is the black level on VA worth it compared to the color on IPS?
I can't stand TN due to the viewing angles

Why do people keep saying 4k monitors are too expensive? I picked up a Samsung 4k refurb for $220.

>>59312338
Why don't you sit directly in front of your monitor?

>>59312338
Gamma shifting on VA is pretty annoying.

>>59312403
Do that and
- TN will be darker at the top
- VA will gamma shift and shimmer in the middle
- IPS will have glow in the corners

Welcome to LCDs, time to educate yourself.

>>59312697
How long will it take for OLED to be mainstream outside of phones?

>>59312720

OLED's are not worth it due to blues fading into obscurity within 4 years.

>>5931272
oled has major flaws
like slow black to gray response times

>>59312697

IPS glow is severely overrated, just don't expect horror games to be amazingly black, and don't watch movies on them if you care about black level.

>>59312755

by overrated I mean exaggerated, derp.

>>59312740
LCDs have much more major flaws than that.
The only real major flaw for OLED is the burn in

>>59312784

and blues mostly fading within 4-5 years.

>a 27" one

I use a 27" monitor —
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DDR0FE2/?tag=pcpapi-20

I think it is a great monitor. Games and movies look great on it. I have this monitor for ten months now. But I have a story to tell.

In December, while I was laying in bed in a pitch black room with my eyes closed trying to fall asleep, I saw a bright light that moved across my face as though someone with a flashlight scanned my room. I immediately opened my eyes and saw nothing but the darkness. I leaned over and turned on my bedside lamp and saw no one. I got out of bed and looked around my apartment, and even went outside to look around the yard that I can see from my bedroom window. I found nothing unusual.

Several days later, again in bed near the moment of sleep, I saw the same flashlight effect move across my eyes. I gave a quick look around. Nothing again. The light happened almost every night for days. I dismissed it as some kind of pre-dream state anomaly. I went away on vacation for two weeks. The light effect stopped almost immediately. It came back within days of my return to my home and my monitor. I realize now that staring at this 27" monitor might be over-stimulating the light receptors in my eyes.

No, it's not.
But you can avoid the glow if you go for IPS with A-TW.

>>59312872

That was an issue with first gen plasmas before pixel shift was added, OLED's have it too.

fucking autist

so i would need a 3840x2160 27" screen to get good ppi?
