I'm looking for a new monitor to replace my old's, it has to be IPS, and good response time.
many shops showing the ultrawides LG, they are good?
>>51437983
Colors are important, but not so much if you're just using 1 monitor. If you're using 2 different ones and they're very different colors, it can get annoying quick, but you can usually color correct them enough to be acceptable. I cant do anything smaller than 27". I got a 144 hz monitor recently and ended up taking it back because it was only 24". Colors kinda sucked too. Went ahead and bought a Benq 27" 144 hz one online instead for like a $100 cheaper. I know it won't be amazing, but reviews were okay and I'm expecting the colors to not be very good and cheaper build quality, but that's alright, it was significantly cheaper and it matched my requirements. 27" and 144hz. Hopefully it doesn't blow too hard
>1ms response time
>60ms ping
kuks gotta get 'em :^)
>>51439352
I bet your clicking inst even below 100ms
i have that monitor. it's ok.
i dont play games so i prefer ips because i like colors at angles
>>51437983
OP, I was thinking of buying that monitor
http://www.amazon.com/Acer-G226HQL-Bbd-21-5-inch-Widescreen/dp/B009POS0GS/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1448043374&sr=1-1&keywords=computer+monitor
Is it a good deal? What monitor would everyone else recommend?
Currently thinking of getting this one.

I don't have a freesync compatible GPU and probably won't but it seem like a great monitor.
UHD, 4ms refresh rate, and 178 viewing angles.
Anyone have experience with 4k at 24"?

Asus MG279Q
1440p 27" 144hz screen for 600 euros

Anynone with experience with this screen?
I have a rMPB, and a cheap Dell IPS monitor, and while the rMPB clearly has better viewing angles (essentially infinite with zero colour shift no matter how oblique) and a more even backlight (in addition to much higher DPI), the cheap Dell still looks fucking fantastic compared to any non-IPS display I've ever seen. I wouldn't hesitate to buy any IPS display, since I've never seen a 'bad' one.
>>51439521
Should add Dell has a 24" monitor that has 1.07 billion colors instead of 1.67 million of the Samsung, and it's $100 cheaper almost.

You're missing the point. If two players have the same reaction time then the deciding factor is which player has the higher inherent latency, every ms counts.
dumbump
>>51439352
there's this retarded thing called lag compensation
depending on the game's netcode, it can make connection latency almost irrelevant
even if you have to compensate for lag manually, you're still better off with a faster monitor
144hz G/Freesync
Anything else doesn't matter
Is IPS really superior to TN? Talking about color and contrast, don't really care about muh angles

i want a nice one that rotates to vertical position.
any recs?
>>51440852
Just get like 3 titan Xs or something
Do response times mean shit? I have a Dell u2414h ips with 8ms response time and have never noticed any lag. Even with fast paced games.
>>51440587
How close are you going to sit to it? Also portrait or landscape?
I had a 28" 4k monitor and it was to big from about a foot away. I'd get the 27" Asus UHD monitor if they have it.
>>51441011
Prob still wont do it,
Not to mention a 4k Ultrawide does not exsist
Is it wrong I am ok with 60Hz but with Freesync or Gsync? 1440p, doesn't need to be IPS.. But needs a good mount with decent adjustments if is not IPS.
>>51441054
I think monitor input lag is more important. How long it takes each monitor to receive a signal instead of how long it takes the monitor to display it.
IPS glow sucks balls. How come we haven't solved this, it's 2015 ffs.
>>51441096
This, I have an IPS since August and even though I've grown used to it it still bothers me. Fuck the colors and shit, I'll sell it and get a TN instead
Good 1080p monitor for under 150 €bux? 23 inch tops
>>51441118
For me the biggest issue is the variance between same models.
To guarantee a winning ticket in the panel lottery you need to buy store display model that you can verify before buying.
I'm not comfortable ordering monitors anymore with out inspecting it first, it's a shitty experience needing to return 3 fucking panels to get one that's even remotely comfortable with glow.
Pic is a _decent_ model these days.
>>51441260
Mine is like that but I've mistaken, I was talking about ghosting not glow lel
>>51441096
We have. No glow in my EIZO CG246.
Get a decent monitor.
Is there a good website with very specific way to search and filter monitors? Bezel sizes, response time, max hz, free/gsync, etc?
>>51440802
>paying big money for a momitor with less pixels
the goyim never catch on
>>51441096
Some IPS panels barely glow at all, but those are rarely seen outside of super expensive artist equipment.
Oddly enough, some cheap Dell IPS monitor had a panel like that a while ago. I suspect the feature doesn't really cost anything but the monitor makers are too busy finding cheap Chinese trash to piece together to pay attention to details like that.

How long until this same thing in 1440p is that price? Just a guess.
>>51441944
Well to get a 1440p monitor at those specs, I doubt it, also with 4k monitor being produced
>>51441973
I have a 60hz IPS 1080p monitor but I don't think now is a good time to sell it and get something better, it's a transition period
>>51441985
Not sure if its worth to get a 144hz with 1ms montiro, the price is expensive
Would you notice a difference at 60hz at 2ms?
>>51442027

>>51441849
>not ship to USA
dam even the 27" is a good deal
>>51442108
BTW the monitor is a TN panel so only get it if you do it for gaming
>>51442139
...and if you don't want shitty ghosting
>>51440734
the only factors IPS is worse than TN is response time and refresh rate, both of which are possible to match but comes at a very high cost
>>51437983
I have that monitor and it is great. Maybe not as good as a 1ms gaming monitor but its still pretty good for the price.
What is better IPS or PLS in terms of image quality and viewing angles?
Is this a good deal?

>>51442406
They're basically inferior in everything except response time (and maybe black levels compared to leaky IPS) so yeah, pretty much.
>>51439476

>>51440802
>34"
>that res
>75hz
>not even ips?
what is freesync anyway? sounds stupid
>>51439560
it's all about making sense of the price. they're the best enthusiast high end gaming monitors that have a balance between low response times and professional grade colors. unlike current 1440p/144hz/gsync monitors the PG279Q and the XB271HU will both have full 100% sRGB color reproduction instead of only 80%. the only difference between the two is the brands and acer might release thei XB271HU for less money than the PG270Q.
Big question here, does graphics cards and cpu affects the montior image quality?
>>51442790
No. With analog connections like VGA the graphics card's output signal quality _did_ affect the image on the monitor, but this doesn't happen with digital stuff like DVI(-D), HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.
>>51442636
>>51442383
oh it's the freesync version. well i've read you can only use adaptive sync within the 45-95hz range on that monitor. which if i'm not mistaken isn't a bad thing since adaptive sync and gsync mostly shine at lower refresh rates. an okay buy but i would wait for a newer freesync monitor since adaptive sync will be tied down to that refresh rate range with the MG279Q.
>>51440802
cept the 144Hz
we quantum dots yet or nah
>>51442861
Is there a good 144hz, 27 to 30 inch display with freesync
Someone help me out here, I want a monitor that is 1080p and has superior image quality and depts
>>51443039
144hzmonitors com/list/ has a list of almost every high refresh rate monitor. i'm not even sure if there are any freesync monitors that support adaptive sync up to the 144hz range though.
>>51443117
Sure that's a list, but aren't there any general recommended ones?
>>51443157
i haven't really kept up with the freesync monitors so i don't know which are good and which are bad.
>>51437983
Any recs for a 1920x1200 ~24"?
Mostly for browsan and gayman
how long til we hit 8k?
I saw a 33" 4k display at fry's today and I was kind of surprised that I could still make out individual pixels when I got close (which is relevant for me, as I'm severely nearsighted).
Although with how retarded frys is, I guess I wouldn't be surprised if they were only driving with 1080p or less. I didn't have my loupe on my to verify. Right next to it was a $5000 21:9 setup being driven with a stretched out 1280x720 signal.
what do with 100 bucks
>>51441648
it's 3440x1440 so it has more pixels than any other 1440p monitor, dumb dumb
>>51442863
I don't know of many GPUs that could hit 144fps at 1440p consistently
>>51439286
>ultrawides LG
I have 2 of their 29" ultra wides mounted on top of each other. Great picture.
I got them even though they are Free-Sync and I have a GTX 980 TI because their price is great and they don't seem to have as many quality control issues as Asus lately. I mostly just play a flight sim so I just want a good picture and don't really care about this syncing stuff that's not really going to help me anyway.
>>51437983
>3ms advantage
3ms is 25 frames delay.
>>51442533
it is ips
http://www.morecomputers.com/product.aspx?pn=E243WMI-BK&man=NEC&referer=PCPart
I want good image quality, how will this monitor do?
>>51445182
>3ms is 25 frames delay.
maybe at 8000 fps
>>51437983
most important thing: NO GLOSSY SHIT
Off topic:
If I use an HDMI or DVI splitter to run 2 clone monitors; it won't put any more load on my GPU than a single monitor. Correct?
>>51445428
yes
connecting both of them directly won't produce additional load either (if you mirror them)
>>51445428
No, it's just splitting a signal rather than producing 2 signals. What do you want to clone 2 monitors for apart from projecting though?
>>51445182
3ms would be 1 frame of delay at 333 Hz, and less than half a frame at 144 Hz.
>>51445123
Drive it at less for gaming if your GPU can't handle it. Use that extra resolution for desktop space.
>>51442790
What do you mean by image quality? A craptastic GPU and CPU will require you to play games at 800x600 at low settings. If you mean noisy image or poor color quality, no, at least with anything digital that's entirely on the monitor itself. VGA is another story, but who's using VGA today if they care about image quality?
How would I compare many different monitors based on their image quality? For exmaple 2 monitor that are 1080p, backlight LED and is a ISP how would I compare both of those monitors?
>>51445604
>1080p, backlight LED and is a ISP
>is a ISP
>ISP
You get internet from your monitor?
See if people mention image quality or problems with the model in reviews.
>>51445392
glossy is perfectly fine if you live in the basement
>>51445678
I mean't IPS
>>51445392
Just don't put it toward a window. No matter what sort of finish it has, that will ruin image quality. Of course if you MUST put it toward a window, matte is the way to go.
This is much more important on a laptop that's going to be moved around than on a desktop monitor that's likely going to spend its whole life in the same spot.
>>51445715
>>51445775
even without external light sources, glossy looks like cheap shit
>>51445678
Also theres many monitors that don't have reviews for them, so how can I decide if they are good or not?
>>51445716
>mean't
Get some sleep.
Anyone have these? Are they total shit?

meh
The one in the op is great
-glossy
-mine overclocks to 76hz
-screen is closely bonded to outside glass
-great calibration
-small bezels
-got mine for $90 refurbished
Besides wanting a version with 4k and gsync, there's nothing else I'd change.
>>51446964
>-glossy
why the hell do people like this? I sold my glossy monitor and bought a matte one because the reflections were annoying as shit.
>>51446986
The picture is far superior to the blurred and dulled colors of actually applying a coating to diffuse light. It works both ways, you may stop some glare but you're preventing the rest of the light coming through too.
>>51446986
I was on the matte bandwagon before I got that monitor. In fact, it was my first glossy monitor ever after owning only matte due to constant recommendations for matte monitors all over the internet. I'll never go back to matte after this. The whites are crystal clear and everything is sharper without having that coating. As long as the LCD is bonded closely to the glass, the reflections aren't that bad.
>>51447030
>>51447078
I could see if you use it in a basement with no windows and no lights on, but matte is just so much better with normal lighting.
Plus I don't have to see my ugly mug when the screen goes black.
>>51446817
Very slightly if at all. There is definitely a very slight blur but pixel size will still be the resolution limiter. As for color, I think this claim is mostly caused by so many matte panels being shitty color ones produced for business use where nobody cares about color fidelity.
I got a 14" matte IPS 1080p panel for my laptop and it's got great color. The effect of the coating is minuscule if there's any effect.
that's just like, your opinion, man
Hey /g/ heres a newfag question for you how to know what is my monitors response time?
>>51437983
Anyone have a quick suggestion for someone who works in terminals all day and would like something higher than 1080p for a change? Coming from a 144hz BenQ but want to get a IPS display for an upgrade.
>>51437983
Perfect Monitor
34" 21:9 2160p 144 Hz IPS with 5ms response time.
Everything else is compromise.
So you can get 144Hz on 1080p Maybe 1440P if you're lucky. But that up the price by a huge ammount and it's probably TN.
You can get 21:9 and it's gonna be IPS but it's probaby not going to go over 75Hz if it's over 1080p
You can get 4K 16:9 IPS but it's response time is gonna suck.
So technically it's 4K, 21:9 or 144Hz
All of it combined would be a good monitor.
>>51447110
Or purchase good quality blinds/shades. Works perfect for me. It doesn't have to be black in the room just no light hitting the screen.
My LED monitor has burn-in on some of my browser stuff from too much shitposting.
What the fuck do I do now?
http://www.amazon.com/Dell-U2415-24-Inch-1920-Monitor/dp/B00NZTKOQI/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
Is this monitor worth getting? anyone have experience with it?
>>51439352
60Hz=16.7ms
120Hz=8.35ms
5ms monitors usually are around 18-25ms when it's not grey-to-grey
>>51445145
Pics?
>>51442328
1080p on a 27" will look a bit blurry. you need 1440p for 27" IMO.
![benqxl2411z-1l[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/IytZuTD.jpg "benqxl2411z-1l[1].jpg")
This is what I am going to buy in a few days: BenQ XL2411Z.
144Hz which is what I am buying it for, and 24" TN like my current two monitors. Lacks meme-sync but Benq has their own good strobe anti flicker/blur tech.
>>51450550
a-sync/g-sync have nothing to do with blur or flicker
also benq is the acer of gaming monitors
>>51449918
buy a new monitor
use a screensaver so it doesn't fuck up again
I'm on a 24" BenQ RL2455HM monitor right now and enjoy it. It was cheap and is regarded as a great monitor for gaming, so I've bought into the BenQ marketing hook, line, and sinker.
thin bezel is the most important thing imo

Personally, I'm not going 4k until years from now when small single-fan budget video cards are able to comfortably play 4k res games with low power consumption. The 750 ti equivalent of 2020 will convince me to get into 4k.

same here dude i'm waiting on mine in the mail but i just bought one because i have two awesome 4:3 monitors already to put on either side.
honestly,
i would not wait. you can always return shit if there's a better deal, or make them price match it retroactively. Most places have price protection for at least a week if not a month
>>51443117
>>51443039
there is one monitor that i know of that goes 30-144 on freesync, but i cant remember who made it... it was reviewed recently on tomshardware so look there.
>>51446817
>>51447138
ok, i have a matte screen, getting out my magnifying glass and looking at the pixels tells me there is very little if any blur even magnified, however there is some amount there just by the nature of the coating, and because we cant all have black out curtains behind us, or have only eastern facing windows, if you dont have any glare issues, glossy is better, if you do... matte can help allot.
>>51437983
ok, the most important thing above all else is contrast ratio, the higher that is static the better and there is one monitor that gets over 3000:1
dynamic is a number you dont pay attention to.
now, anything 1000:1 is just fine, but more is better
SECOND is input lag, fuck green to green what is the input lag?
after that, you look at how fast/slow the gTg is.
----------------------
now, properly calibrated tn panels are capable of looking as good as low end ips displays, through ips is more desirable, unless you absolutely need the viewing angles, you can compromise here. personally, i lean back in my chair and my shit monitor darkens enough that some games are no longer playable if its night time in the game, this is why im considering a new ips, but i dont want a smaller screen than what i have which is 1920x1200 and the next level higher, 2560x1440 is expensive for what it would be to me, a luxury item.

The first rule of computers is that the gaming option is the worst one.
Did you notice how gaming headsets are always worse than ones without a microphone? How the gaming OS is much worse compared to the go-to professional systems - Mac OS and Linux? How clickety-clackety le cherrity switchity gaymen keyboards are always bad?
Same goes for monitors. Also, no one is doing any gaming on monitors, Jesus, what are you doing?
>tfw you will never have a monitor with no backlight bleed, no dead or stuck pixels, perfect screen uniformity, a high contrast ratio, no IPS glow, no VA colour shift, no ghosting, a low response time and a high refresh rate

Hey m8s I am hoping to pick another monitor up this upcoming Black Friday but I am unsure what to upgrade to. Is 144hz or 1440p worth it when all I play atm is Dota and some games such as PoE running on a 4690k and a 970?
I currently have a DELL ST2320L which I will use as a 2nd monitor just to watch streams.
