runawayturtles posted:Were the calibrated settings on those fairly consistent? If so, can you share them? I know given the variance that they won't be perfect, but there's not much info out there for this model and something should be better than nothing. I loaded the RTings ICC profile and then manually tweaked from there with HCFR. I don't have the settings for the other ones, but my panel is at: 35 Brightness, 70 Contrast, 50 Sharpness 54 Red, 50 Green, 47 Blue I do like my screen a little warmer though, so it has a few more clicks on red than the calibration recommended.

LG 27GL850 is the same but with USB ports LG 27GN850 is the 2020 model with different stand These are pretty much interchangeable Also there's the Lenovo Legion 27 y27q-20 which uses the same panel but has different software, better stand and is boostable to 165 hz (which leads to some bugginess with gsync on 1060, 1070 etc generation of gpus, if there's too big framerate changes the screen goes black for a few seconds) You can also just limit that to 144hz and it works fine.

Can I please get suggestions for a 120/144hz monitor: At 1080p, with the best colour depth possible? The same, at 1440p, but only if the final price is <700 CAD? I'd appreciate it. E: Looks like the 27GN850 is the one? Does anyone know if it has VESA compliance? I assume, but I need that. SRQ fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Aug 22, 2020 |

Hey gang, I recently picked up an ASUS VG27AQ 27 (yes, I know I probably should have gotten the LG that this thread recommends, but alas), and I am using the display port for my connection from my 1080ti. I'm noticing it takes ~10 seconds to wake from sleep - this seems like a common issue with this one. Does anyone here know what might be causing that? I've read that it may be related to deep sleep settings, GSync (My HDR if off), or possibly that the cable provided isn't 2.1. Just thought I'd ask here as I'm having trouble finding solutions on the internet.

Jinnigan posted:I just got an arm swivel mount from Monoprice, which was nice. I ended up having to drill a hole into my desk since my original plan of just clamping it on was prevented by ... well, the shape of my desk. So definitely look into that. Also I need to add like ~2 feet to my HDMI/displayport wires since they were just dropping down to my computer instead of running along the swivel for cable management. Just something to consider. Mounting with a grommet kit is almost always going to be the best way to mount a monitor on a desk. Clamps can slide off and are generally lovely. One 3/8”-1/2” hole in your desk and you’re set. Looks better and allows you to reposition your monitor without worrying that you’re going to knock your clamp off. Also clamps can be janky as gently caress or just not work at all depending on the desk.

It's just something that's been there since the monitor has been available. The work around is to never put your machine to sleep or turn off your computer entirely.

In the market for a gaming monitor. I've been using an LG ultrawide 34" 60hz. I have a nvidia 1070, so I thought I might add a 27" 144hz monitor to play games on. I see the LG 27GL850-B 27" was recently recommended - $489.99 Monoprice has: Dark Matter by Monoprice 27in Gaming Monitor - FHD, 240Hz, 1ms, DisplayHDR 400, AMD FreeSync, Fast IPS-Type AHVA - $299.99 I found out that Nvidia will use freesync monitors: https://www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia/nvidia-freesync-how-to-enable-graphics-card-gsync-compatible Is the LG worth $200 more? Is there another 27-32 inch monitor out there with 144hz that I should look at?

Yes but most titles you aren't going to get super high FPS. And if you want to take full advantage you'll have to upgrade your GPU in the future.

The Nixeus EDG-27 and -27S are good high-refresh 1440p displays and occasionally go on sale for ~$279-299, but they're very much NOT at that price point right now, and it's a better buy to go with the Amazon LG model.

I've got a Fully monitor arm clamped to the back of my desk and I want to drill a grommet hole so I can push the monitor a bit further back without bumping the wall behind the desk. Did you mean 3 3/8th inches or just 3/8ths of an inch? Are you suggesting just drilling a small hole to run just the bolt through? It seems like that might actually reduce wobble even more than having the bolt floating around inside of a 3+" wide hole. I'm having trouble finding a standard size Grommet hole so I'm interested in what a good choice is if I'm drilling a new hole just to mount a monitor arm to.

Most monitor arms will ask for a small hole just big enough for the bolt. Monitor grommet mounts designed for a full 2" or 60mm grommet do exist, but involve more exotic bolt-through plates. Of course, one could probably DIY something with a slotted steel bar from your local hardware shop. A good design could allow you to use the same hole to hide the monitor cable.  If you have trouble with a monitor arm clamped to the back of your desk for wall-edge reasons, one solution is to clamp the monitor to the side of your desk. ronya fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Aug 24, 2020 |

The desk has a metal flange on the sides (it's actually the goon-approved Husky standing desk from home depot) so that's a no-go. Good to know about the small hole - it makes sense to me (and it'll be a lot less destructive than drilling a 3" diameter hole for no reason). Thanks!

I bought a new monitor recently, so of course now Samsung has one that actually looks like a good VA (?!?) instead: https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/32--odyssey-g7-gaming-monitor-lc32g75tqsnxza/  Maybe they’ll do a 4K/120 on HDMI 2.1 I can pick up in a couple of years.

It's because of the other downside of VA, the significant loss of chroma when you go off-axis. If you're willing to pay >50% more and put up with the curve, the performance is extremely impressive.

Well I'm enjoying my LG 850, the screen looks great and the move up to 144hz is nice. I do have two gripes though, the first is that it only has one dp input plus 2 hdmi. HDMI doesn't seem to run at 144hz as easily or at all, it would have been great to have 2 DP. The second is I've had a few random reboots, one yesterday while fiddling with the hdr settings with no other load on the systen. Maybe it's something to do with having three monitors at different refresh rates but it's a bit lame in this day and age. 5700xt with latest drivers if it matters - has anyone else encountered this?

Aug 25, 2020 07:32

The latter is almost certainly because of AMD drivers, especially with the 5700 series, they are notoriously poor. The 5700 has one of the highest RMA rates for GPUs in the last year and bad drivers are a significant factor. Also GPUs from both vendors hate hate hate multiple displays at differing refresh rates The HDMI thing, it could just be the cable, dodgy cables are much more common than most realize, if you can try a different cable that would be a good idea. Bandwidth shouldn't be a problem, HDMI 2.0 can do 2560x1440 at 144hz no problem. I've heard some people say that HDMI cables from the 1.4 era can't do HDMI 2.0 refresh rates but I don't know if that's actually true or not since I've had cables from the early PS3 era run 4K60 just fine.

I tried a 1440p display and decided I'm just too used to 4k to go down, even for 120hz, but I want some of the newer niceties like 10bit black. So what's a good "I want as much colour depth as possible" 4K at the moment? We're so close to CRT level dark colours again I can smell it.

Happy Pizza Guy posted:I've got a Fully monitor arm clamped to the back of my desk and I want to drill a grommet hole so I can push the monitor a bit further back without bumping the wall behind the desk. Yeah, like the other guy had said, you only want the hole about as big as the bolt going through. I use 3/8” because it’s slightly too small for the bolt that came with my mount, I bore the hole a little bit bigger and then insert the bolt through the plate and up into the mount. You’ll be able to move, tilt or rotate your monitors with confidence that you’re not going to have your monitor drop once you’ve got the mount secured. Common sense but don’t install the monitors onto the mount until the mount is secure. Oh, and if you have a wood desk, once you’ve got it as tight as it can go with your hands, don’t over tighten it with a wrench— you can crack the wood. Once you’ve got it hand tightened, a good turn with the wrench until you get real resistance is more than enough. Most kits will come with a wrench you can use. Good luck!

Building my first PC and went 2060S because I like the idea of ray tracing but didn't have the budget or need really to 4k super high settings or anything. Literally have an old garbage Insignia TV as my WFH setup right now so I need a monitor as well. Should I be bothering to try to get something above 1080p, based on the GPU? Still educating myself on response times and refresh rates and stuff and what plays nicely with my card. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GD7H18F?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1 This seems pretty good to me? The curve seems pretty dramatic but it's a nice price.

Still educating myself on response times and refresh rates and stuff and what plays nicely with my card. A 2060 Super is pretty comparable to a 2070, and should be fairly competent at 1440p - I considered getting one when I upgraded my monitor. I eventually went for a 2070 Super instead, but that was partly because I wanted a better chance for it to last me a couple years. That said, it really depends on the games you play, your expectations for graphics detail, and what you consider an acceptable framerate. For me the 2060 Super was right on the borderline, and the 2070 Super a bit past it. For you the 2060 Super at 1440p might be more than enough, or it might be nowhere near adequate, depending on your needs and expectations. I will say that after being at 1440p going back to 1080p would feel like a significant downgrade. I'm not sure what the most current market pricing is but I got my 1440p monitor for around $300 and been happy with it, but the pandemic has made the monitor market a bit nuts.

IMO a 2060S is easily a 1440p GPU, certainly not max settings in demanding games but that'd be my target. That said, right now the value buy is the LG 27GL83A which at $380 is out of your budget. There's always the old trusty Nixeus EDG 27 v2 but even that is $330 now and the difference in the stand, build quality, and performance make it a worse buy than the LG IMO. If you don't mind staying at 1080p then there are several 24" 1080p 144hz IPS Freesync monitors such as the Asus VP249QGR, the Acer VG240Y Pbiip, and AOC 24G2 that can be had close to $150 at times. My argument is that your monitor will easily be the longest lasting component you have, and it's not the place to skimp.

Thanks to you both. I'm not a super competitive gamer; I play some Modern Warfare with friends but I'm trash and I just do it for fun so I'm not counting frames or anything. I'll go forward with the confidence of pulling off 1440p; unfortunately that thread-recommended LG seems either very out of stock or more than that (lowest price buying option on Amazon in the US right now is $480). I could talk myself into eating $380 with how well reviewed it's been in here but looks like most offerings on it are a bit high atm. I'll try to scratch around over the next few days and see if I can find it for a reasonable price. Thanks again!

It's almost always out of stock but will almost certainly ship much sooner than Amazon says it will. Set up an alert with nowinstock and it should pop up soon. It's not even a covid thing, LG is very, very weird with monitor stocking across the board. It's not like normal consumer products and I don't know why.
