Wondering if anyone has any ideas, or experience with bluetooth audio transmitters on TV and sync issues. You want a apt-x low latency equipped dongle. Not apt-x, apt-x 'low latency'. You'll need an apt-x low latency equipped receiver as well. https://www.aptx.com/products?field_product_brand_tid=All&field_product_category_tid=128&field_aptx_type_tid=484 KingEup fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Sep 7, 2016 |

Green Gloves posted:Youre not going to have a hard time maintaining 144hz playing Overwatch with a 1070. Its actually recommended to turn down a lot of settings anyway because some of the effects and reflections are distracting for competitive play. The only things I max out are textures/texture filtering/model detail and AA. Everything else is turned to low and I get consistent 144hz playing on 2560 x 1440. A 1070 is much more powerful than a 390x. This is a good post, but what monitor would you recommend? Looking at this potentially: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-XF270HU...ds=Acer+XF270hu Acer XF270HU 27", 144hz, 2560x1440 (no gsync) poemdexter fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Sep 7, 2016 |

I believe Samsung has a new panel coming out called the cfg70 that is a 144hz 1440 VA with freesync. I personally use the MG279q and I love it a lot. It came with a freesync range of 35-90hz but I expanded the range to 57-144hz and using custom resolution utility. The monitors OSD refresh read outs in sync with the FPS so I know its working.

Any ideas whats causing this? It might be an issue with your displayport cable, some people have similar issues because the monitor never receives the "wake-up" signal from the computer, I know a number of models of Dell monitor are affected by this but I don't know of a solution.

If the freesync version of that Viewsonic is around $500 it would be pretty sweet considering it has a new panel with possibly less QA problems. Pretty sure Newegg exclusive means its a timed exclusive.

This is kind of an odd application, but I am looking for a matte monitor, with a really good viewing angle (so I'm assuming IPS) that I can use as a digital picture frame. Something similar to what these guys are doing: https://www.electricobjects.com/ but as a DIY project. I was thinking a 24" monitor would be reasonable, preferably some resolution a decent ways beyond 1920x1080, since most images I'll want to display are something like 4608 x 3456. I'll be driving it with a raspberry pi or something similar since I figure it doesn't take much horsepower if I'm just displaying a static image. The OP seems crazy out of date, are there any modern recommendations that sound like they're along those lines?

The mattest matte screens I've ever seen are dells consistently. But going beyond 1080p is probably going to double or triple the price , don't know if you're trying to beat the price in your link or not

Not *super* sensitive to price, I'm really not sure what my options are and it's hard to figure out what's really matte. Is there a good way to tell what something like this would actually look like? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6BM3WM6329&cm_re=monitor-_-24-260-274-_-Product DeadlyMuffin fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Sep 8, 2016 |

DeadlyMuffin posted:Not *super* sensitive to price, I'm really not sure what my options are and it's hard to figure out what's really matte. Here's a review with plenty of detail and images. It's pretty matte. It's not as overkill matte as their older screens, which some people complained about as appearing a bit "grainy". But it's still matte. What with the matte finish, the small bezels, the connections that point down (important if you're wall mounting, as you are) and a pretty high DPI, it would seem to be a pretty decent option. Edit: that said, the images you want to display are 4:3, which would waste a large portion of the screen; you would end up with more actual image displayed if you went for a 24" 16:10. But those are 1920×1200, so you'd lose a little detail overall even though the image would be larger. Hm. In light of the actual use, I'd be looking for 4:3 monitors, something like the Dell 2007FP, 1600×1200. The actual area displaying a 4:3 image is almost as much as that 25" 16:9 monitor first linked, but without enormous black bars. HalloKitty fucked around with this message at 09:37 on Sep 8, 2016 |

I even have an old Dell monitor like the one you linked that I use on a desktop system. I made a really quick search and it looks like higher resolution 4:3 monitors either don't exist or are super uncommon. Not sure when that happened, but it's interesting. Thank you all very much.

Has there been any news on any HDR monitors? I can go pick up a 4K HDR Samsung TV for like £550 at the moment which would be tempting with the new PS4 announcements but it would still fall short to a gaming PC if I could get a better experience on my PC still. When I saw HDR it looked nice though.

That format has fallen off the wayside for everything but commercial use. On the plus side, those monitors are cheap as hell  Although I think the smallest 4k monitor you can find with the lowest light setting would look pretty rad, I wonder at what point you are fooled into thinking its not even a monitor

I'm in the same boat as well. Don't even need 4k in a new monitor for gaming, but I would like something that could use the wider gamut.

On the plus side, those monitors are cheap as hell I have a friend who has the electronic objects monitor I linked to above, and it does a surprisingly good job even at 1920x1080. Viewing angle is spectacular, it's quite matte, and under ambient light it looks pretty close to a painting. The only reason I'm not going that route is you're locked into their (truly awful) software. Plus I'm a bit of a DIYer.

So what should i look at for slow-gaming (i.e. total war) and occasional single player fps games? Would like 24" with clean aesthetics. Wirecutter recommends Dell UltraSharp U2415 and the price is well in my budget.

wargames posted:just let 16:10 die already, everyone knows wider is better. Thats 21:9, which is superior to 16:9. That 37.5" LG 21:9 seems sexy but I think the true replacement for my U3415W at work is an upcoming 32:9 that will have something like 5700x1600 res. I'm pretty sure I would not need 3 monitors with that.
