What are some /g/-approved monitors?
Is there a list anywhere?
Good question, I wonder that sometimes too but I've never actually found a list. maybe try asking in >>>/sqt/? Either way, I like this thread. I needed a monitor for a while now. can't even see what I'm typing without one. Maybe I should get my brother one, too. Jesse's just been using his phone to emulate one for a while cause his dekstop doesn't have a grafix card or something. IDK, he can't figure it out. maybe you could help me figure that out for him, you probably know more about it than us. Anyways, I gotta go now, let me know if you find any good monitors or maybe a nice TV that could work for getting better FPS's.

I understand its cheap but why all the useless shit if its cheap
>>60586034
Sounds like the VC239H I bought. Not bad for $220 CDN, would fall for the meme again.
>>60586048
yeah it is, would buy again aswell, still better than my gayman benq 144hz tn one
Dell S2716DG user here
Seems like an ok monitor, 27 inches is maybe too big for 1440p though - only looks as nice as my older smaller 1080p screens just bigger
>>60585884
Got two of those.
>>60586115

What's it like having a computer fedora?
>>60586034
VS239H-P Bro here, sounds like my monitor to a tee. I would definitely buy it again though it was only 130 USD.
I'm looking for a decent entry level 1440p monitor and right now the Dell U2515H looks like the best choice, but what other alternatives in that price range do I have? I don't care about gaymen stuff, just accurate colors for photography and video work.
And what multi monitor setup do you prefer? Right now I have two monitors in landscape but I'm looking at getting one in portrait and one in landscape, but it's hard to find non-16:9 monitors that can rotate to portrait mode.
>>60586132
Comfy.
>>60586145
>U2515H
I have the asus version of that monitor. Uses the same IPS panel.
PB258Q
>>60585335
can anyone report on the 240hz meme?
has anyone interpolated anime/anything to 240fps with it?
is the input lag reduction perceivable at all?
will it carry me from diamond 4 to challenger in league?
Looking for a new monitor, not sure which size, 24" seems okay, but 27" might be nice. I sit about 2ft away, might have to check that.
Is my monitor /g/ approved?
>>60586216
I just bought that a few days ago actually. I'm still getting used to it but i'm really loving how sweet it looks. I'm waiting for the weekend to get a long gaming session on.
>>60586216
This monitor seems to dumb just beacuse it's so wide and not curved.
I don't care for the curved monitor meme, but it does make sense, if you buy into the white monitor meme.
>>60586332
>the X meme
>the Y meme
Stop fucking saying this shit you insufferable cunts. Just fuck off.
>>60586196
Seen the jump from 60 to 144 and its brutal.
From 144 to 240 someone who was used to 144 said there's a noticeable jump, with some disminishing returns from that other jump. Don't know really since I don't have it, but if you play a lot you might notice it enough.
>>60586332
It is curved.
>>60586216
I don't get the ultrawide crap, it's inferior to dual monitors in every way unless you only care about muh immersive ~gaming experiences~
>>60586422
Good thing like 90% of high end builds on /g/ are for gaming.
>>60586362
>mfw fell for the meme meme
>>60586422
Why would you want a gap in between your screens?
>>60586449
Weird, I thought I was on /g/ and not /v/
>>60586460
Because I don't have autism and use my PC for more things than video games so I don't need to sacrifice screen real estate just to not trigger a mental illness
>>60586460
That's only valid for gaming.
>>60586332
>>60586365
I've legit never seen a 120hz screen and I'm glad I have not, 60 still looks great to me and I have a hard time reaching that high in fps for a few recent games, and my right is very recent.
Ignorance truly is bliss when it comes to computer visuals.
>>60586449
Ultrawide gaming looks fantastic, but i'm concerned how 4x/RTS/etc games look on it not to mention incompatibility.
Incidentally, are 29" ultra wide vertically equivalent to 24 or 22" displays?
>>60586145
DON'T GET 25" 1440P
I have a 27" 1440p monitor and I sit about 2-3 feet away, but when I slouch back a bit past 3 feet things get too small and hard to read
25" would definitely be way too small
go to the store and test them yourself
Good cheap 144hz?
>>60586491
I play strategy games on my ultra wide all the time. It's almost cheating in multiplayer because I can see so much farther.
>>60586487
What else do you use your PC for?
>>60586540
Lightroom, Premiere and Ableton Live, mainly.
>>60586500
>DON'T GET 25" 1440P
>has never owned a 25" 1440p and has no real basis for his opinion
I've been using one for 2 years, what's the problem...? I sit 2-3 feet back as well and never have issues.
My mom is bringing over an Eizo L557 when she's visiting me in June. It's not a 1600x1200, but I miss having a 4:3 monitor, so it will have to do for now. Sucks that Eizo's new 4:3 monitors are so expensive.
ITT: IPSlets vs TNlets.

High DPI is really disgusting honestly. It feels weird to not be able to see the individual pixels, you just don't know what you're doing then.
>>60586685
>you just don't know what you're doing then
....what did he mean by this?
Sorry boys, this monitor is for men.
I have a U2515H and a U2414H. Both are great but differing sizes and resolutions is cumbersome and annoying.
I'm looking to upgrade and i'm unsure if I should
>Get another U2515H and get rid of U2414H
>Get a different 27" 1440p monitor
>ditch both and get 1 or 2 4k monitors
The main reason I am leaning towards not getting another 2515H is that it doesn't have freesync/Gsync at all; plus 4k seems cool. Is there a list of upcoming monitors at all?
>>60586953
Why on Earth would you get two 4k monitors
>>60586965
while 4k does have a shit ton of pixels, it's nice having a secondary monitor for a different window like browser/discord/document.
>>60586561
May nigga
>>60586720
This monitor is the sexiest one I've ever seen.
>tfw eyelet
>need to use 27" 1080p
So you know that feature where you can snap a window to one side of the screen?
Is 1440p the best resolution for that? Especially at 100% scaling. Its almost usable in 1080p but not quite good enough.
Have two 16:10 monitors, looking at getting a 21:9 ultrawide.
Question is, which is the proper way to orient them with a three arm VESA mount?
Only one of these is correct.
>>60587176
>looking at getting a 21:9 ultrawide
>>60587176
Maybe D since you would already have a lot of horizontal realestate
>>60587313
>>60586487
Samefag, so this is true then
>>60586633
>>60585884
>>60586115
I also have two of those.
>>60586132
What's it like trying to fit in so hard that you call out everyone who you do not perceive as ""normal""?
>>60586161
How do you like it? I was thinking about getting one, but I heard Asus' customer support is even worse than Dell's, so I didn't wanna chance getting a problem with it.
>>60587757
They've been good for the year i've had them, no issues.
That being said, i got 3 year warranty from newegg with them. So i wouldnt have to deal with asus if it came down to it.
>>60587563

Is this a good deal. I can get it for $270

wanting to get a dell u2515h. someone talk me out of it with a 1440p monitor. want ips, dont care if its only 60hz though,
>>60588008
>60 hertz
>4ms
no.
>>60588073
Does that really make a difference?
>>60586589
having a 4:3 and widescreen monitor for a dual screen setup is great.
i hate browsing 4chan on a widescreen monitor so i basically use the 4:3 monitor for web browsing
>>60586720
this is the ideal 4chans monitor
>>60588272
He probably doesn't even know response time (the 4ms) is differant than input lag.
Although, 60Hz monitors are more likely to experience screen tearing, which sucks.
There are no genuinely good monitors right now
So pretty much just go with whatever is cheapest until a good monitor comes out
>>60588035
Dell Ultrasharps are some of the best in the game, and now that the U2515H is <$300, it's the best quality for one of the best prices.
Not much high resolution support yet, so most applications and web sites look a little wonky at 1440p.
That's really the only draw back.
>>60587176
I imagine you'll be using the ultrawide as your primary, so that rules out B since you'd probably want it front and center rather than have to look up.
Then just decide what you'll use the secondaries for. For instance, a lot of programmers like having one screen vertical for code, and the horizontal for browser. So do you want two verticals, or two horizontals, or one one of each, in addition to the main? You could do C if you have the space and don't care for a vertical display, or you could even go E and stack two with one vertical off to the side...
There's really no one correct answer, anon.
>>60588035
>>60588402
What about the Asus PB258Q?
>>60587563
Looks nice.
When is the best time to buy A new monitor? Should I wait until black Friday? I'm not pressed to get one
Looking for a 34" 1440p 144Hz 21:9 curvy screen with VESA mounting support, any recommendations?
>>60585335
Why is 34 ultrawide twice the cost of 29 ultrawide of same resolution?
Is 29um68 g approved?
I like my Dell U2515H. Probably won't upgrade for another 4 years easily.
>>60585335
[spoiler]I wish[/spoiler]
>>60585335
Just sort the PC part picker by free-sync, its just missing the pixio 1440p 144hz IPS display
>>60588910
...I still have a crt
Pretty happy with these, the Dell's specs aren't the best, but I got it on sale for $75 and I was using a crappy 19' Sansui TV before I bought it. The Asus is a decent budget 1080p screen and I'm loving the Acer 1080p 144hz screen.
Anyone had any luck buying from eBay or refurbished monitors?
>>60586953
If you were looking to sell your U2515H for a decent price I'd be inclined to buy it from you anon
>>60587563
nice setup i have the same head phones with an antlion mod mic and the same mouse. Is that a shark coffee cup?
>>60587940
Yup. Like them a lot for ~$40.
>>60588520

>>60589055
I'm using a Neewer condenser mic. And it's a can coozie.
>>60589110
ballin. also are you running an amp for your headphones? im just using my old one from my turtle beach px series because its better then nothing. Tosslink is so much better then just plugging the headphones into the mobo.
>>60588008
This looks like a pretty good deal for a 27" 2k
>>60586422
It's nice if you don't want/can't have dual monitors. One of the guys I work with swears by it because he just tiles his editor and shit to make use of the width.
I thought about switching from my dual 27" to one 34" ultrawide to save a bit of desk space but outside of gaymen I think a 32" 4k monitor would serve me better.
>>60586490
I've seen 144Hz and it does look a lot better for fps gaymen and stuff with lots of fast movement (quake, doom, overwatch, etc) but I don't play enough vidya to care
>>60587143
27" 1440p is big enough for it to be useful in windows
I play with it sometimes but with two monitors it's not that useful to me
Thinking about picking up one of these for $180. I just wish anything other than 1080p wasn't retsrdedly expensive. Why are 4k tv's cheap but monitors expensive
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B17C5KO/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1495769280&sr=8-10&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=4k+27+inch+monitor
>>60589637
Get lg29 for 190$ instead
and they are cheap because tv does not need all that fancy stuff like GtG,refresh rate and they often do not support more than 29-30fps
my GPU has 5 video outs on the back, what am i supposed to do with 5 screens? It has 3 disp port and hdmi and dvi. I only have one screen. If I crossfired the cards would I have 10 screens?
>>60589978
No if you crossfirre you will have 6 screens because of dataratebandwithMPXspeed.
For same reason display port cables are not 5m+
>>60588973
The Pixio panels are really, REALLY risky. Unless you can stomach stuck/dead pixels and severe IPS glow, just buy from a reputable company. It's not THAT much money. And yeah, Acer is bad to deal with, but at least you CAN deal with them.
>>60589966
They're not good panels. Your typical budget 4k TV can't output 4:4:4 (uncompressed) chroma. That's fine for TV, movies, and gaming. You'll notice it in general computing though, especially if it's only capable of 4:2:0, like the once popular Sceptre U435CV-UMC. Speaking of that particular model, like many in its price range, it doesn't use a conventional pixel configuration. Instead of RGB, it uses RGBW.
https://news.samsung.com/global/what-is-rgbw-tv
Why do people insist on 1440p monitors when they should be buying 4k?
okay, if you were to get a touchscreen monitor. why?
>>60590392
There are very few good 4k panels, those that do exist are prohibitively expensive even for comfortably middle class consumers, the only video card that can properly drive them in recent games retails for $800, and the pixel density is higher than necessary for a 27'' display, which is already about as large as the average desk monitor can comfortably be.
just buy whatever you want/cant you dont need a list made by people you dont even know
>>60587563
how comfy is that keyboard?
the colours look nice at least
I've been using a BenQ 24" 1080p TN monitor for a few years and I like it. It's a solid monitor aside from the poor viewing angles.
To be honest though, I really want to drop a grand on a set of larger monitors as soon as I get some money to blow.
My triple monitor setup that I've been rolling for years now consists of that aforementioned 24"er, an old 4:3 17" Viewsonic monitor, and an old 32" 720p lcd TV.
I want to get 3 of the same 30" computer monitors side-by-side I reckon that'll be baller.
>>60586161
That background on that monitor setup makes me jizz in my pants.
I need a 21+ inches monitor with rotation support (landscape/portrait), with a resolution of 1080p or higher and HDMI or DP ports, no speakers or similar bloat, my budget is 100USD. Is it feasible?

>120Hz+

Still waiting for that 27-30" IPS, 1440p, 144hz, freesync monitor. Anything close on the horizon?
>>60586034
Great monitor. Stick it in standard. Turn the shit off and calibrate. Very good PQ and color reproduction. Uniformity is not that great but for the price it can't be beat.
>>60591537
Nothing affordable. It should be Freesync 2 BTW.
Where do aussies buy monitors
Any suggestions for a
27in min

1440p
Monitor for video colour correction
>>60592005
Yeah id like freesync 2 and hdr goodies of course but it seems like a very very veery distant dream to me.
>>60586720
This should be the standard.
>>60587563
Link to monitors?

OLED's are okay but it still has >native resolution
CRT's are great because no >native resolution
where the fuck are my 640x480 OLED screens, I just to play touhou
>>60592334
Sometimes i get an urge to get some good CRT monitor but then i remember how fucking huge and hot they are...
>>60585335
I just wish 16:10 monitors were still being regularly made. I know 16:9 has become the mainstream but 21:9 managed to carve out a decent niche for itself why can't 16:10?
>>60592393
16:10 is a meme, there are almost no differences between that an a 16:9. 3:2 is the future.
>>60585335
I just bought a Acer Predator G246HL for 120€. Did I make a good choice?
>>60592589
No.
>>60592603
why
>>60592607
Because you have to ask that question.
>>60586460
why would you want a 4k monitor with the top cut off?
>>60586216
It looks cool but I can't imagine how far away from it you have to sit until you don't constantly have to turn your head.
Today i will buy BENQ GW2406Z
>>60586720
I don't understand how 1:1 monitors can be more common than 3:2, but at least more and more companies are starting to realize that 3:2 is the best aspect ratio.
I just wish you could buy the Surface Studio screen separately without getting a shitty PC attached to it.
>>60586720
jesus this is fucking retarded
Stupid question : I fear that watching 720p or 1080p chinese cartoons fullscreen on a 1440p might stretch the image too much, is it that noticeable ?
>>60593670
720p and 1080p are 16:9 aspect ratio. 1440p too. You wont get any stretching. Youre stupid.

>>60593037
>I just wish you could buy the Surface Studio screen separately without getting a shitty PC attached to it.
oh fuck i want this so badly
What would be a good monitor for programming? Or "setup"
Should I go for 144hz qhd or 60hz uhd? using 1080ti btw
I know theres a multitude of reasons why i shouldn't get one, but the Dell S2718D is damn fine looking. And i want it.
Sensibly i should probably go got a U2715 or some of LG's monitors look pretty nice
>>60594464
I can barely tell the difference between 4K and 1080 when playing games, but I can really notice these 144hz when I really hit those. With a 1080ti you will mostly hit 100hz for sure

>>60596882
No I have the 34uc79g and its IPS 144hz.
>>60596943
But too little resolution
I have two AOC q2577pwq. 2560x1440 IPS at 25". Its petty nice.
Does anyone here have the 144hz VA Samsung c24fg70? I've been thinking about getting 3 of these but I'm hearing a lot about purple ghosting.
Also any comments on VA panels are welcome
>>60586145
The U2515H is absolutely the best monitor I've found for the price. Bought it for like 300 euros in the Netherlands.
1440p@25'' is amazing and there's absolutely no problem with reading, unless you're visually impaired.
But I think some 4k monitors from Dell are getting cheaper and maybe are a better option now.

The BenQ GL2450 is quiet good for its price!
I have the Samsung panel all the way to the right. It's great. 4 port USB 3.0 hub built in where I have my keyboard, headset, and both mice plugged in. Low input time, 60 hz(speccy reports it as 59.95hz, I dunno why). The stand it comes on is sick. Full tilt, swivel, height adjustments. Has DVI, DP, HDMI. I bought mine for close to $680 when it came out. Hey can be had for around $400 now.
>>60597372
Speccy is totally bugged. Reports my 1080Ti as 3071MB.

Fuck IPS, let me know when Quantom Dot with the rest of that exists.
Good 27in 1440p IPS monitor around ~$300-~350? Split between the Acer K2 Series K272HUL and the BenQ GW2765HT, but I read that both may have light-bleed problems.
the best fucking monitor out there is the dell 2007fp
its 4:3 and I FUCKING LOVE IT
Will a 22" 4k monitor show fonts as crisp as on macbooks?
I have a benq xl2430t. Its nice, i really like the stand.
I do wish i got a 1440p g sync monitor instead. I dont play much cs go anymore.
It's getting harder to choose between 4k or 1440, since most new 4k screens are the same price, and often have better features.
>>60598644
Not the same price when you factor in the commitment to top-end GPU's.
>>60598804
True, but it depends how committed you are to ultra settings, even a mid range GPU can natively do 4k at medium/no AA settings.
Bought a Acer Predator XR341CK from Amazon Warehouse deals, it was send back within the 30 days. It was only 650€, 250€ less then new so I bit the bullet and played the Acer lottery on hard mode.
What can I say? I think I got lucky as fuck, newest firmware, no dead pixels, no color banding issues on blue colors, no noise when browsing.
Didnt test how good I can OC it since I dont have a GPU with Display Port yet lol.
>>60585335
I'd like to fall for the ultrawide meme but the price and lack of hidpi options makes it seem not worth it right now. I could get 2 24" 4k monitors for the same price as a 34" 3440x1440 monitor.

I have the same monitor. It's great for the purpose I bought it for - playing games. The G-sync and 144hz are nice...
The colors are pretty shit in comparison to a real ultrasharp. I'm thinking about upgrading my 23inch ultrasharp with a 27 inch so my two main monitors will match.
>>60586490
I gamed on 60hz for a really long time and upgraded to a 144hz monitor with g-sync... shit is BUTTERY SMOOTH.... blows away any 60hz. There simply is no comparison and you'd have to be pretty inept at life to not notice a striking and huge difference.
HP 2311x ever since 2012. The urge to buy a new monitor is starting to become unbearable.
I'm planning to wait for the Asus PG27UQ and its reviews, but I might give in and buy some sort of Dell Ultrasharp monitor instead.
