It's a monitor, what do you think I use it for smartass?
Pros: It was cheap. It works fine. No "smart" features or built in speakers like my old monitor.
Cons: It was a bitch to calibrate. The monitor controls were a pain to use, I prefer digital ones like the one my television has which are much more user friendly.

But a purchase just as good to go with them was an Arctic Z2 stand. Released a lot of my desk space, and even though the USB hub is only 2.0, I'm using it a lot more than I thought I would. Anything that doesn't require 3.0 (mouse, keyboard, etc.) is connected to it and the back of the pc has a way smaller clusterfuck of cables. Shame I can only place the monitors side by side though, but ehh good enough for what I want.

1. Asus VG248QE
24"
1920x1080
120Hz (monitor goes up to 144Hz, wanted an even multiple of 24/30/60 and ULMB features (anti-blur) don't work on 144Hz)
Primary monitor: arena FPS gaming, shitposting
Pros:
-cheap for 144Hz (got it for $180 used)
-good build quality
-reputable (many people use it and have had good experiences, considering cons)
-stand allows rotating, raising/lowering
Cons:
-terrible calibration out of the box
-outdated panel tech
-limited input (I believe just DP + dual-link DVI + HDMI)
-still gold in OW but I can see very clearly why I'm gold

Overall would not recommend this particular monitor, especially since it's no longer being manufactured and the price will probably skyrocket in the coming months. Have heard the BenQ 24" XL* monitors are good.

2. Dell S2240M
21.5"
1920x1080
60Hz
Secondary monitor: music player, reference documentation, etc.
Pros:
-IPS
-Cheap (~$120 new in 2013)
-Dell quality
Cons:
-Few input options (DVI + VGA, that's it)
-Stand does not allow rotating or raising/lowering

Overall would highly recommend this monitor, if it's still being made, if you want a cheap IPS 1920x1080 60Hz monitor.

I think it was the cheapest 1440p IPS display available locally when I bought it, and yet it at least at the time it was a lot better than everything else in the price range. I'd recommend it for single monitor set-ups, though I'm looking for something 144hz now that I'm no broke anymore.

Anyone know when 1440p 60hz Freesync monitors will be $200 or less? I'm strapped for cash and don't care about 144hz all that much, I want to sell my monitor (I can probably get at least $350 on eBay for it) and get a Freesync one since I moved to AMD.

28" Acer 4k IPS, 60hz, gaming.
-pros: 4k
-cons: 28" is too small for 4k at 100% DPI, had to increase DPI and deal with apps that don't scale.

34" AOC ultrawide, 3440 x 1440, IPS, 60hz, games and movies.

-pros: great colors, ultrawide movies with no black borders
-cons: movies encoded with black borders. games that can't do ultrawide cutscenes or menus.

Total cost for both was around $1000. Not worth it.

Use it for everything, I'm not autistic enough to swap monitors based on task. Also its the only one I have.

I'm thinking of upgrading, I got this as a high school graduation present 10 years ago and its still the only flat monitor I've ever had. I have a lot of 4k content I could use a nicer screen for. Do monitors have HDR yet that's the hot new display meme, I love playing PS4 Pro with HDR.

Is it worth it to gamble on a Monoprice monitor? The $300 1440p Freesync one is tempting, but there's almost no reviews of it, and the few that exist mention apparently dead pixels are common.

I like it but not everyone likes ultrawide. The only games that don't like ultrawide are bethesda games and starcraft because bethesda a shit at optimization and blizzard doesn't like the 'advantage' this aspect ratio gives players. I don't regret paying $1400 for being one of the first to have it. It's resolution and refresh rate means I am always justified getting a top tier gpu

True. Anyway I don't see 2560x1440 at 25" as being very extreme. Not even as high of DPI as a Full HD 17" laptop screen.

>>61635546
even with my high myopia I prefer glasses, the thought of getting my finger so close to my eye scares me a lot
>>
>>61635592
Really? That's weird. After wearing them for a few days I don't even notice they're there anymore. It seems so much more convenient than glasses to me but if you don't mind them then I guess there's no point.
>>
>>61635624
I just got used to glasses, had to use them since I was a kid, but my myopia is stabilizing, so I think a slight adjust on my prescription will last me for a really long time now. My lifestyle doesn't make the glasses a nuisance to use too, so that's a plus

I'd love to upgrade but I'm poor. I'm VERY hesitant to go for a higher resolution. I can't afford $500 video cards (always stick to about $100) and budget cards can't push higher resolutions at 40+ FPS. Better refresh is also wasted if you can't get over 60PFS.

TLDR - 1920x1080 60Hz is fine unless you have a $500 video card.

Pros: Cheap as fuck, especially considering high refresh rate PLS/IPS 1440p monitors didn't exist 3+ years ago when I bought it.
Cons: No scaler so you can't use it with anything other than a DVI-D 2560x1440 signal, i.e. you can't do anything to make it work with a console. Works fine on PC though with other resolutions because the GPU will scale the resolution for you. Also it gets (temporary) screen burn in if you leave it sitting on one image for 5+ minutes.

Dual monitor setup so for a long winded description:

Dell 3007WFP
30"
2560x1600
60hz
Main monitor for everything. Gaming for the entertainment use as well as being a 3D artist using 3DS Max, Photoshop, Substance Painter/Designer and a few others

>Pros
Nice resolution quite a bit beyond 1080p but not overly demanding in games like 4K would be
Taller aspect ratio than 16:9 which plays very nicely with my modeling and texturing work as I get a larger, taller viewport
IPS so good colours and viewing angles

>Cons
It's an old monitor, made in 2006 so it's still using a large bulb for backlight instead of LED, this makes it hot as hell and spew a ton of heat into my room
An IPS this old also means relatively high response time, never been an issue in games for me but it's no modern IPS
Some games made/ported by shit devs don't support 16:10 so I end up with letterboxing (Dark Souls series, Far Cry 4 ((Side note, every other Far Cry ever made from 1 to Primal supports it except 4 somehow)) and some games that do support 16:10 just crop your FOV so you actually see quite a bit less than 16:9 resolutions (Counter Strike and Overwatch crop a lot)

and

BenQ GW2760S
27"
1920x1080
60hz
Secondary monitor used for mainly keeping a web browser or some video/movie playing while I am using the main monitor. It gets used within my software for secondary viewports, tool windows, etc

>Pros
IPS as well
Modern made LED backlight puts off almost 0 heat
Nice and bright, very noticeable against my main monitor which is significantly darker

>Cons
1920x1080 at 27" is nice for someone who likes a generally big monitor but it's definitely noticeable the much lower pixel density
Ghosting. This thing has some crazy ghosting when things move fast. Never been too much trouble with movies enough to bother me but it's there. The "low ghosting" mode makes the image look like ASS and actually barely helps with the ghosting so I don't use it.

Using it for everything, it's fucking great and butter smooth, my only gripe is the mild backlight bleed at the edges, but it faded since I bought it and now it's barely noticeable even if your whole screen is black.
At first I was opposed to getting a 16:9 screen, but frankly, at 27" there's enough vertical real estate that I don't even mind anymore. It doesn't seem anywhere near as noodle-like as smaller 16:9 screens.

Used to be my primary, now it's relegated to home-away-from-home use.
Had to RMA one unit right away after it got a bright blue dead pixel, and the one I got in exchange developed a turquoise pixel after 2+ years, as well as a pressure spot, which is probably my fault even though I don't remember cleaning it with excessive pressure or anything like that.
The colors are amazing, but it suffers from really bright IPS glow. I much prefer 16:10 for 24" and smaller monitors so I used to love this one, but after getting used to the 27" QHD, it's just not the same anymore.

1280x800 + 1050x1680 + 1050x1680.

That's a laptop and two displays in portrait.

Since I'm bored I've quickly collected the stats in this thread and made up this amateur chart for anyone to do what ever with I don't give a fuck. Thanks to those who posted etc.

Finally proof that any more than 24" Full HD 60 Hz is a complete meme for sperglords.

Thanks.

Works alright as a monitor, but brightness seems a bit lacking compared to newer lcd monitors.
2. Benq rl2455hm
24"
1920x1080
60hz
Primary monitor - movies/internet browsing/games/study
Pros: It works fairly well, good brightness and reasonable amount of inputs, decent response time.
Cons: Not very good colour reproduction at all even for a TN panel, has noticeable weird blurring/shimmering of text when scrolling on browsers.

Planning on getting a 1440p/60 27" or more monitor. Anyone have any suggestions? Preferably <500 eurobucks.

Why would you get so flustered like this if you weren't insecure about your childish aesthetic?
