You know, having a $7000 rig is useless if you're using a 900p screen connected with VGA.
So tell me /v/, what monitor/TV are YOU using?

>>332765278
I'm sure they're just doing it for the sake of being able to claim they have speakers, but they're just going for the cheapest model they can find.
I didn't need a turboHz meme monitor at the time so I just went with an IPS.

Hello President Underwood
I have both, 22 inch CRT for 4:3 glory and PG279Q for best monitor memes.
Titan X, E5-1680v3
I have the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q and while I've seen reviews of people getting broken ones mine was fine and it's the best monitor I've ever used.
Wish I'd gone 1440p / 60hz desu
How the fuck do you manage to spend 7 grand? Even with SLI and all the bells and whistles you'll likely barely break 4 grand.
Unless you bought a pre-built in which case you're retarded.

when you spend $1200 on a pc and play nothing but 2560x1440 at 60hz/3840x2160 30hz you've effectively wasted your money.

a-a 900p screen connected with VGAand it's 19:10 too
>>332764617
A NEC AccuSync LCD223WXM it's a 16:10 monitor in 1680 x 1050.
I tried buying a new monitor a year ago and returned it, it was awful, I could see the pixels or something akin to it. It was like there were little dots lined up in uniform covering the monitor. It was a 1920 x 1080 dell but for some reason I could make out space between the pixels and it gave off this effect of uniform dark spots all across the monitor. I was really bummed out so I just never bothered to go shopping again.

Oh well.
>>332766336
I have the 800b version of this (only difference is 3D, which I never use).
Great TV and input lag numbers. The contrast on it is especially good. Even the pricey monitor I have on it pales in comparison.
>>332766273
I think this monitor has something like 8 years at least
>>332766483
Monitor standards evolve super slowly so it might be a while before devs and manufacturers need to make single GPUs render modern games at 4k60fps.
>>332766589

best TV i have ever owned. only downside is it takes so long to start because of smart shit (which i never use)
>>332766738
Oh, I'm aware of that. It's going to take quite some time until we get equipment like that. I'm definitely willing to wait.
Don't know if I'd get an OLED, though. They still haven't resolved the blue diodes decaying faster than the other and image retention is still all too common.
>>332766841
>best TV I have ever owned
Seconded.
And yeah, the long start up annoyed me so much I looked into ways of accelerating it (or turning off the Smart features I don't use). Unfortunately, nothing can be done about it.

BenQ XL2411Z, it's 1080p 144hz and was on sale, it's pretty good and I'm happy with it.
>>332766810
>dat gif
Ugh, that's not how it works. It depends on which you base the default on. In that gif the default is the 16:9 so you cut from it to create the other aspects. But if it's an older game with a default of 4:3 you have to cut from top and bottom to get 16:9. Modern games are made with 16:9 in mind so that's the one that you'll have the least issues with but 16:10 is more and better if the image isn't cut. Same goes for 4:3 if the game was made with that aspect in mind.
>>332767308
>Ugh, that's not how it works.
Clearly it is in that game. Did you even read the spoiler you retard? Devs are most likely to default to 16:9, and some won't be able to cope with other aspect ratios for various reasons.
>>332767250
That will likely fuck up to.
>>332767440
Not really. More and more games are supporting 21:9, and if they don't it's only a short .ini file edit anyway.
>>332764617

The XG270HU. It's a 1440p 144hz Freesync monitor and I just got it set up today.and I only paid £280 for it
Both 1440p and 144hz are a big step up from 1080p60, I can't recommend it highly enough
>>332767719
>buying a literal meme monitor
no thanks
>>332767440
That's only true for games that don't support custom aspect ratios and have locked viewing positions you mumbling retard. Even then locked games usually have mods available to change that. Not every game is Starcraft 2, idiot.
>>332766248
It was 23 inches. It was this monitor:

Likely is probably the wrong word, but "it's only a short .ini file edit anyway" is fucking wrong. Not all games are that easy to change.

>>332767885
Most are, though. Your initial complaint largely only applies to the lazy. The benefits to 21:9 are difficult to understate. In most games (especially competitive multiplayer titles), you will see people well before they see you. In other games, like isometric titles (D3, Path of Exile, etc...) you'll see and engage enemies before they even see you.
It's also closer to the natural layout of our viewing field, and it's great for watching movies.
>>332767250
>>332767719
>>m-muh 21:9 will continue living on!
>he posts only battlefield as an example
kek. 21:9 will go the way of 16:10.

>Most are, though.
Most are what?
>our initial complaint largely only applies to the lazy.
Did you really not read the spoiler?
>The benefits to 21:9 are difficult to understate.
Shit, are they that low? Fuck, why even bother then?
>>332768194
GET OUT
>>332768125
>>Most are, though
Nope. Not all games have .ini files or comparatives.
>>In most games (especially competitive multiplayer titles), you will see people well before they see you
If you're not already pre-aiming spots, then you're simply shit at the game.
>>332768194
At least 16:10 was actually better
>>332767885
Fucking google Widescreen Fixer, Flawlesswidescreen and other programs, then check the nexus for aspect ratio and FOV mods, dumbfuck. I'm telling you this as someone who doesn't use a 16:9 and only game I ever got forced to play in 16:9 ever was Metal Gear Rising.
Don't talk out your ass, you tech illiterate buffoon. Fucking kill yourself you your cherry picked gifs.
I'm looking at AOC's G2460PF and Acer's XF240H.
They're both 1080p60Hz+FreeSync and they both cost the same price.
Which one should I go for?
>comfy couch gaming
>Seeing some fag whine about people not fellating 16:10
Is that what happens to people when they have no friends?
>>332768331
Alright I googled it.
They support like 2 games and have tons of bugs regading game UI.
>>332768331
>Fucking google Widescreen Fixer, Flawlesswidescreen and other programs, then check the nexus for aspect ratio and FOV mods, dumbfuck.
Why would I do that?
>Don't talk out your ass, you tech illiterate buffoon.
I provide proof of it happening with certain games. It being cherry picked does not matter, I mentioned that already. Fucking kill yourself you your cherry picked gifs.
Read nigga.
>>332768329
Except that 21:9 shits all over 16:10 for productivity. It's literally a dual monitor setup without the bezel or complexity.
16:10 was the computer industry letting out a wet fart.
>>332768331
>21:9 fags have to use mods and hacks to use their aspect ratio
Can't make this shit up.
You fucking neckbearded autists LITERALLY argue about anything, jesus christ.
>>332768576
I'm interested to see whether Displayport will go the same way. Supposedly it's better than HDMI, but the latter is supported by more devices and its updates always eliminate any advantage Displayport has.
Exactly a 1440x900 old monitor, It's just the one that came with the old prebuilt and I don't mind it that much for now
I'll wait until its broken or I get a good deal on one
>>332768580
>complains about people being able to modify an open platform to suit their taste and uses
Why are yoiu even playing PC games then?
>>332768576
Nah, 16:10 was two 5:4 screens "without the bezel"
P.S. golden ratio
>>332768712
I hope not. DP is more flexible than HDMI, has new features earlier than HDMI and uses a more permissive licence.
>>332764617
Built in laptop screen
I am not a rich man.
>>332768939
And it died stone dead. The equivalent of 2 16:9 monitors > The equivalent of two 5:4 monitors.
>>332768442
>They support like 2 games
Because most others don't require a whole program. Some are as easy as a nexus mod or an ini change.
>>332768485
>Why would I do that?
Because you are an uninformed, retard, spouting hogwash and misinformation. No one is forced to use 16:9 like you like to think and it's not objectively better.
I genuinely don't understand why someone would even WANT 16:9 over 16:10. Even 4:3 ratio games stretched don't look horrendous and my TV swicthed to 4:3 with one button push.
>>332764617
>republic of gamers
>>332769114
>Because you are an uninformed, retard
Why do you think that I am? Just because I am saying some games don't support different aspect ratios well, while providing proof of that?
>spouting hogwash and misinformation
Where?
>No one is forced to use 16:9 like you like to think
Why do you think that I think that?
>and it's not objectively better.
Obviously.
I need reccomendations for a god-tier 1080p monitor. I use AMD Sapphire Radeon R9 290 because im a filthy cuck who dosen't want to pay out the ass for an Nvidia. If that helps
>>332769024
"Hope" is bullshit in business.
If Displayport can't justify itself against HDMI's ease of use, performance, and effectiveness it should fuck off like every half-assed standard introduced every other week.
I'm interested to see how things go down. IMO, it'll die due to its only major advantage (able to output 4K @ 60hz) is not relevant outside of ultraniche gamers.
>>332769109
Dell U3014, HP ZR30w still in production. NEC has a half-dozen models, still in production. Etc
>>332769304
>1080p
I'd go for a 144Hz or higher then, with freesync considering you use AMD.
>>332769304
Depends on what you want to do with the monitor.
Gaming? Go for a 144Hz display with freesync or whatever it's called.
General purpose computing? Dell's U2415H and S2415 are good IPS displays with great color and contrast. Only downside is that they're pricey and limited to 60hz.
Nothing is better than hooking up a nice monitor, making sure your color profiles and monitor settings are accurate, and throwing on a nice wallpaper or HD movie.
Eye candy.
>>332769316
HDMI will die off. USB Type-C supports DisplayPort connectivity, so in the future we will all use USB Type-C connectors for monitors, TVs etc.
>>332768905
>Why are yoiu even playing PC games then?
Fucking this! Only reason games are locked to 16:9 and you can't even change resolution on some is because of shitty console ports, trying to bring their console standards to PC and 16:9 fucks just bending over and taking it. PC games since time immemorial supported all kinds of aspects and resolutions then 7th gen fucked it all up.
Good thing that almost in all cases those shitty port games have mods that fix those and all their other issues.
Like I said only game that didn't let me change the aspect even with fucking hacking the game engine was Metal Gear Rising. Even then I think there were 21:9 mods available.
>>332769379
Doesn't mean it has a future. The monitor manufacturers are shifting over to Ultrawide development. At least, all the smart ones are.
Most are doing it because it's an easy sale to enterprise customers.
>>332764617
Some 24" 144hz 1080p monitor and another 24" acer 1080p monitor that is just 60hz.
>>332768905
>>332769693
First off, palpable samefagging. Second, stop sperging like an autismo. Third, show me a 21:9 monitor with a resolution higher than 2560x1440 with a 144Hz refresh rate. What's that, there isn't one? Oh well, guess that's the life of 21:9 plebs.
>>332769852
I actually believe you, which makes me sad. I hope you're (and I'm) wrong, because I like more square resolutions.
>>332769693
>Like I said only game that didn't let me change the aspect even with fucking hacking the game engine was Metal Gear Rising. Even then I think there were 21:9 mods available.
>DURRRR TTHIS GAME DOSNT SUPPERT MAH RESOLUTIONA BUT I TTHINK IT DOES
Make up your mind kid.
>>332769650
More likely than not we'll get HDMI to USB and Displayport will die off.
HDMI is entrenched, easy, and performs well.
USB is entrenched, easy, and performs well.
Displayport is a worthless upstart. Forgive me for not caring about the industry's latest standard to justify their fetish. Remember ZIP Disks? JAZ drives? Remember all the other "standards"?
Came and went. I've been around the block a long time, stop being so defensive over garbage faceless companies put out and think only for yourself.
>>332769409
>>332769645
Yeah im just looking for visual quality I do like how games look with 144Hz in motion, but I just really, really want my games to look nice. I dont mind not having 144Hz/freesync. Thanks guise.

Adobe CS6 (Photoshop and Lightroom). When I do, say a panorama around 100 megapixels or more, it just bottlenecks my whole system.

>>332773558
Have you even used editing software? 8GB RAM doesn't cut it.
I don't fucking understand why people feel a need to tell others that 16GB and more is a waste. It's not only on 4chan that it happens. Jesus christ, not everyone is a poorfag, and some actually need more RAM for work-related applications.
>>332772812

Also, even in my country with our shitty-ass dollar the difference between 8GB and 16GB is like $30-40. If you can't spend that extra for a PC you'll be using for years, don't even bother building one at all.

As is stated.
I cant notice the difference between VGA converter to HDMI and pure HDMI.
I can between DVI to VGA and HDMi to VGA.

old 1920x1200 ips panel.
All the new 1440p 144 IPS monitors a plagued with QC issues - it's a fucking crap shoot.
Waiting for them to revamp their manufacturing or some shit before I jump in.
Asus pulled supply hence none in New Egg (not even listed) and low stock everywhere else.
>>332776148
With the converter you're getting the VGA signal, not an HDMI one. Of it was HDMI to HDMI or HDMI to DVI youd be getting a pure signal.
>>332773559
PC gaming on HDTVs is fucking awesome, especially if you did your research and got a good TV.

This you? >>332769269
Well, there is nothing to reply to. You capitulated on everything you implied with your original post and gif.
There is no reason to go with 16:9 just because some devs don't support anything else properly. The amount of games that have that issue and can't be fixed is so small that it's not an argument. That's like saying that 4:3 sprite games are horrendous on modern 16:9 monitors. Yes they are but that shouldn't be used as an argument to try and force you to not use 16:9 same as modern games being made for 16:9 shouldn't force you to use 16:9

>>332775853
What the fuck? How can you not notice a digital signal being converted to analog versus a purely digital signal stream from source to display?
Going from VGA to DVI/HDMI is night and day. It pains me to see people's PCs connected via VGA. When I switch it over to DVI they shit a brick over how good things look.
>>332775941
Check out some benches to see if a 980 ti will give you a fps boost in the games you want to reach 60 fps. But Pascal is just around the corner, absolutely no reason upgrade to a 980 ti now. You can wait.
>>332776689
But mismatched monitors make you look like a super cool underground hacker.

Bullshit.

Ultra kek.
>>332776595
>The amount of games that have that issue and can't be fixed is so small that it's not an argument.
That's false. A single game that has such an issue can make you wish you didn't get such a meme monitor.
>That's like saying that 4:3 sprite games are horrendous on modern 16:9 monitors.
Not really because one example is modern while the other is not.
Don't fucking dismiss my original argument when you actually do acknowledge me though.
>>332776838
Doesn't that apply only for high resolutions? Like VGA performs bad on 1080p but there shouldn't be much of a difference on 720p or like SXGA, all 1280 x 1024 SXGA monitors used to use VGA back in the day.
>>332777301
No, you generally get fuzziness compared to HDMI/DVI because of the conversion that takes place. The conversion also introduces a bit of input lag for anyone gaming on such a setup.
>>332777301
More bandwidth needs better cables. Most VGA cables are crap. Individually shielded wires make a huge difference vs china crap.

>>332776980
>There is no reason to want a good experience
No one said that.
>A single game that has such an issue
A single game where you will be forced to experience 16:9 like everyone else won't outweigh having a better experience in everything else. IF, I say IF, they prefer different aspects from 16:9. There is nothing inherently wrong with 16:9 but some people prefer other aspects and would have a better experience if they play their games the way they want.
>one example is modern while the other is not.
Have fun only playing modern shitty games then.
>all those words and expressions
Kill yourself, memelord. Seriously, people shouldn't reply to you.
Anyone here has a VS248H-P?
I need a budget monitor and it looks really good, but is it good?
Or a VS239H-P.
>>332778573
>>Have fun only playing modern shitty games then.
Not him but the same can be said about 21:9.
>>332778573
>No one said that.
You implied it.
>A single game where you will be forced to experience 16:9 like everyone else won't outweigh having a better experience in everything else
I disagree.
>Have fun only playing modern shitty games then.
>All modern games are shitty
kek. Or you completely misread it.
But, you still didn't actually reply to my original argument, so whatever. Don't expect a reply again before you actually address the original points.
>>332778725
Just remember that with monitors you get what you pay for. Rarely is there a budget monitor that performs above its station. Just save up for a bit and get a decent display.
>>332778909
Well its wither a budget monitor and a GTX 980 or a good monitor and a cheap videocard.
>Save
I cant, i need a computer now, old one died.
What fuck head spends 7 grand on a pc and gets a 900p monitor?
>>332779040
>wither
Either*
Also my old PC was an old all in one PC with a 1366x768 screen so im sure a cheap 1080p monitor will be better.
>>332778779
But I'm not talking about 21:9 and I don't use that. I'm just saying people should be free to use whatever they want and they should be supported in the market for their desire. Vouching for a single standard is console tier mentality. Standards never stay the same. They change in order for companies to push their new shit. You think 16:9 won't get thrown under the buss eventually? The key is to be open and free and to have options.
>>332778802
What is this mysterious point? It was already disproven that 16:9 is the only way to go because of dev support. There are enough work around to get what you want on other aspects, until people get the message and this period of shittbags vouching for a single standard is over.
>>332779453

I'm honestly thinking about getting an ultrawide

>>332779453
>>You think 16:9 won't get thrown under the buss eventually? The key is to be open and free and to have options.
16:9 is here to stay just like HDMI is for example. They are both too widely adopted at this point for anything else to outcompete them.
>>332779619
Seriously though, enjoy your black bars/fucked up game HUD.
Just get a qnix screen faggots.

S2716DG, it was only $305. IPS G-Sync is about twice as much, and I already have a Catleap IPS for when I need color accuracy.
>>332765242
Yes.
>>332777301
there is nothing wrong with VGA other than the fact that analog signals have proportional requirements for bandwidth (whereas digital signals are compressed). you therefore need "good" cables for VGA in order to support high resolutions without signal loss. i say "good" because you really just need regular, properly specced cables, but there is a lot of cheap unmarked chinese garbage floating around that i've seen cause problems as people upgrade to bigger monitors.
>>332779040
Okay, in that situation go for the GTX 980.
>>332780143
Also it's 2560x1440 in case that wasn't obvious.
>>332779632
This is basically it. The only way they get ousted is if something significantly easier and cheaper comes out.
And honestly, outside of fucking wireless monitors, I have a hard time thinking of things that will top the "plug and play" way HDMI and USB do things.
>>332779523
>Don't fucking dismiss my original argument when you actually do acknowledge me though.
Come again? What was your original argument I'm not reading other people's replies to try and figure out who you are and what your original argument was.
>>332779632
Lol, if you actually believe that. It's like I'm hearing a guy from the early 80s saying: 4:3 TVs are here to stay just like analog TV. They are both too widely adopted at this point to get thrown out.
Maybe not anytime soon but implying you know the future of tech.
>>332780358
Why a fourth? And specifically, why is it up above the first?
>>332780606
>Come again? What was your original argument I'm not reading other people's replies to try and figure out who you are and what your original argument was.
Just go up the reply chain a tiny little bit and you'll see it. It's even less than the extra bit you already went.
>>332780615
Use it as a program monitor with 1 with the timeline, 2 with the bin, and 3 with effects/audio mixer etc. when editing.
>>332770016
Check the names, it's clearly not a samefag
Should I just wait to get a new monitor?
Plan on getting a new GPU when Nvidia and AMD release their next generation offerings.
>>332780148
Yeah, I know. I managed to find a good cable with those magnet things that should prevent interference or something back in the day and it worked like a charm for SXGA resolutions. Haven't tried anything higher than that though. I don't think a DVI would have done better since back then VGA was more widespread and manufacturers didn't implement DVI all too well and there were giving worse image quality at times.
>>332771298
Dat back light bleed tho

>Lol, if you actually believe that. It's like I'm hearing a guy from the early 80s saying: 4:3 TVs are here to stay just like analog TV. They are both too widely adopted at this point to get thrown out.
4:3 was already being phased out in the early 90's in favor of 16:9.
I used a 1440x900 monitor for a long time, it was just fine, just not fine for programming.
I have a P2415Q now, but I don't play too many games.
>>332781363
You're perfect for /v/ then
>TFW already pre-ordered the Dell UP3017Q monitor for my business
Feels good not being a poorfag.
>>332781054
If you're planning on getting a high resolution and/or high refresh rate monitor then yeah I would recommend it. You want to make sure the GPU you end up with can push those frames at that resolution
Are 1440p 144hz sync monitors with viable yet? I don't want to fall for a meme.
>>332781734
If you're using a multi-high-end-GPU or playing older games, sure.
>>332781157
Yep, in that sense I expect companies to start phrasing out 16:9 by mid 2020 or end of it, maybe sooner maybe later. You really doubt they won't make you buy their latest and greatest do you? There is no set standard that is "here to stay" cry all you want, technology is moving forward and nothing stays the same, it would kill the industry. The shit that they plan to sell to you is already invented and it will be different in order to justify its existence.
>>332781850
Can you get away with using only one high-end GPU?
>>332780813
Gotcha, that's a good workflow layout.
>>332765374
fuck you nigger
>>332781930
With recent games? No.
Even the 980Ti is far, far away from 144 fps at 1080p, let alone 1440p.
>>332781054
Definitely wait.
If you're going for a 1080p monitor, a 970 and higher will easily do 60fps on High/Max on most games.
The trouble starts with resolutions higher than that. Wait until Nvidia and AMD introduce their new graphics cards before deciding on a new monitor.
>>332781873
Yup. The only reason 4:3 stuck around for so long had more to do with things outside of the tech side.
Continual improvements to displays as resolution, graphics cards, standards, etc... change is the norm.
I got an Overlord X270OC. It's amazing. RIP Overlord. I also got a VG248QE. Color is fucked up though. I need to calibrate it.
>>332782290
>>332781560
Yeah I kind of figured, I'm looking at getting either a 1440p or 4k monitor. Or maybe some kind of multi-monitor setup since I like to have webpages open for guides, general browsing, among other things.
>>332781873
>>Yep, in that sense I expect companies to start phrasing out 16:9 by mid 2020 or end of it, maybe sooner maybe later. You really doubt they won't make you buy their latest and greatest do you?

There's no reason to phase out 16:9 and no indicator of the market doing so. NEC's happy making monitors in 16:9. Sony's happy making monitors in 16:9. Eizo's happy making monitors in 16:9.
Likewise, you can cry all you want about 16:9 just because it killed your family.
Dell U2515H (1440p) as my main and U2414H as my secondary (1080p).
I just upgraded from a 144hz/1080p TN panel to a 60hz/1440p IPS panel.
The extra frames were actually nice but weren't relevant outside of a handful of shooters, and called attention to lazy coding in everything else.
Gave my VG248 away to a friend thats autistic enough to play CSGO every day. I dont miss it desu.
I thought IPS was a meme but I'll be damned if the screen isnt nicer to look at in just about every way.
1440p is great too, lots of screen real estate and games on max look nearly twice as good as they did in 1080. And since its not 4k I can actually still max all my games at native resolution with a single 980.

There is no problem. That technology's a godsend.
I fell for 4k
>>332782703
If you want to see the future just look at cinema. Don't worry, you 16:9 fags will be sucking a dick soon enough. Giving examples in the present for the way things will be in the future is just dumb, man. Take a step back and look at yourself.
honest opinion guys
should i go 1080/144hz
or 1440/60hz
>>332784616
The former.
>>332784616
Depends on what kind of shit you play.
>>332784773
i like quite a lot of stuff, from fps to mmorpg
i don't play stuff at a competitive level
i don't really stick to a genre
Is 4k even worth getting yet?
>>332785014
Well, I'd go for 144Hz if you play more fast paced shit, but 1440p if you play more slower paced shit. Personally I went 1440p before 144Hz because of videos and shit.
