Maybe replacing my current 27 inch 1080p with a 27 inch 1440p would be a better investment of my time if I plan on getting a 1070. A 1070 can handle a 1440p and a 1080p monitor together, right? Even if I'm just gaming on one monitor (the 1440p one)? Ryuga Death posted:Does HDMI support 1440p@60hz?

Thanks, DrDork! Super helpful post! Is there a definitive way to check for light bleed? Do I just need to bring up a totally black picture on the monitor to see if it bleeds? What's considered too much where I should return it? So these two monitors were brought up last page, the ASUS MX27AQ and the Dell UltraSharp U2715H. Someone said the Dell one is a bit better but could someone explain why? I could probably afford either monitor if I were to get the 1070.

They feel/look high quality.

What's considered too much where I should return it? Much like with dead pixels, there are two schools of thought on it: (1) Don't go looking for it; if you can't notice it in off-hand use, what's the point in going through the hassle? (2) If you do want to go looking for it, yeah, load up a solid black background. You'll undoubtedly be able to see some areas around the edges/corners that are somewhat "lighter" than others. "Acceptable" is kinda a personal call, but most "good" monitors will only have fairly mild bleed to a depth of perhaps 1" into the monitor. If it's covering like an entire 1/4 of the screen, that's probably cause for replacement. If you're super worried about it, you can always take a picture of it and post it here and see what the thread consensus is.

The better stand on the Dell is arguably worth the $40 premium by itself. Seriously, fully-adjustable stands are so wonderful, and will spoil the poo poo out of you. No more having to stack books under a monitor to get it up to the correct level! Also Dell has, without exception, the best monitor warranties in the business. As a general rule they are very liberal with their replacement policy (they won't fight you because you monitor only has 3 dead pixels vice 4 or whatever. "Too much bleed" is also a valid return cause), and will usually do expedited cross-shipping, which is a big bonus if you ever happen to need to return it. So yeah, I'd say the Dell is easily worth the extra $40.

What's considered too much where I should return it? You can just bring up a full screen black image, yes. If the bleed is bad you will know right away, almost any IPS monitor will have some slight bleed but unless the bleed is fairly bad you should not notice it outside of situations like the all black screen since it will blend into everything else under normal use. The Dell is nice because it has a much better stand and is just a bit higher quality in general. Also Dell has very good warranty and customer service so if you need to get the monitor replaced under warranty at some point you will have a easier time than with ASUS, ASUS has sort of legendarily bad customer service, though I hear the monitor division is better than the rest of the company.

What do you mean by "gaming monitor"? Like, if you're a high-end CS:GO player, you should be looking at some crazy 144Hz ULMB (probably TN) monitor. If you just mean you want something that doesn't blur like gently caress every time you turn while playing a FPS, that's a different matter. If you're looking to save the money, I'd go with the LG--it's $280 vs $400+ for the other two, and has FreeSync, which is nice if you've got a AMD card. If money is less of a problem, I'd actually skip all three and go for a U2715H for ~$450. The big problem with the three monitors you've listed there is they're all 27" 1080p monitors. If you have some particular special use for that combination, or otherwise already know that you like that size/res combination, then cool. But otherwise, the general consensus is that 1080p makes for a somewhat sub-optimal experience when stretched to 27". So either bump the resolution to 1440p, or drop the size to 24".

Unless you've got a real hard-on for high-Hz monitors (and lord knows most of us here do, because, you know, *reasons*) it's a very solid monitor for just about any use. Alternate: If your video card has a DVI output (most do), you can still consider one of the Korean 27" 1440p monitors that should run you $300 or less. Downsides are, of course, basically no warranty and a stand made of wet toothpicks, but you can get a replacement stand for like $40 and debezel it for another $15 and end up with a 27" 1440p >96Hz monitor for $350.

Situation: I am getting a work laptop that is pretty powerful and has displayport 1.2. I am also getting this monitor: http://www.planaronline.com/product/?id=997-6848-00 I like using 3 monitors, so I need 2 displayport 1.2 capable monitors for daisy chaining because I'd prefer to just use a single dp1.2 KVM instead of doing a bunch of bullshit to switch between my laptop and desktop. One of the 3 has to be decent for gaming. Would the Planar one be ok for gaming or do I need one of the 2 I'm buying to be gamey? Depending on the answer, please recommend 2 monitors, trying to stick to midrange pricing, but the ideal would be cool to know too. Also I just learned about this displayport poo poo so correct me if I'm off.

I'm currently torn between the AOC G2460PF and ViewSonic XG2401. I have a RX 480 and 144hz + FreeSync is quite tempting, and I don't have an interest in moving past 1080p at this point.

So i finally got outta the ghetto when it comes to computers, and have a very nice rig at home. What should i be looking for in a sub $350 dollar monitor that can take advantage of a powerful system? Resolution? Refresh Rate? Size? My current monitor is an old AOC LED backlit 1080p thing. Its not fantastic but would be fine for use as a second monitor. Also can i expect any deals on Black Friday? Should i wait til then to buy?

Sometimes you see decent deals on Black Friday, but usually it's trash quality stuff marked down super low. As far as what $350 can get you and what you should get it depends on your current system's video card. I would go for a decent IPS, 1440p, 27", 60Hz monitor like the BenQ GW2765HT, it has a good stand and an IPS panel for good colors and image quality. If you want high refresh rate you are stuck with a smaller 1080p TN panel monitor so I don't recommend it unless all you do is play stuff like CS:GO. What video card are you running?

I dunno what it takes to run stuff at a higher resolution but i would be sorely dissapointed if this rig couldnt do it.

With the sort of games you mention I would emphasize image quality over refresh rate and that means higher resolution is better and so is an IPS panel. I would not look at 4k screens because they need to be very large for text and desktop elements to still be legible, your 980 Ti will struggle with such a high resolution and lastly because a reasonable 4k screen would just be too expensive. The BenQ one I mentioned is a good choice and falls within your budget, others that are a bit better but above your budget would be the Asus PB278Q and Dell U2717D, the Dell being the best one.

Cool looks good. Only question i have now, is how supported is 1440p as a resolution? Is it kinda like 1080p where a ton of games support it now? And is it going to be a problem running things Borderless Windowed at that resolution?

High refresh rate (144hz)? With the GTX 770 I would probably shoot for a 1080p 144hz monitor if you game a lot. 1440p IPS monitor if you only play games that aren't GPU heavy and don't really game a lot.

I'd go with a Dell U2414H, it's around £200 and 23.8"/1080p/IPS. The GTX 770 won't really handle anything over 1080p very well so it's about the best you could get. You can get a larger one but anything over 25" or so and I feel like the image quality starts to suffer. If you are willing to tough out the 770 for a while until you can get a 1060 or something a 27"/1440p/IPS monitor like the BenQ GW2765HT would fit in your budget and be a better choice in the long term.

So I've decided to get an ultrawide monstrosity for my home office (mostly photo/video editing, minor gaming with pretty low refresh rate requirements). Anyone have strong opinions on Acer XR341CK vs Dell U3415W? I've heard that Dells customer svc is preferred but I've already read tons of things pimping the Acer monitor so now I have analysis paralysis.

As long as you don't mind spending the extra money the Acer is the way to go, it's just as good as the Dell in most ways and better on refresh rate and input lag. One thing to think about though is that driving a monitor that large, even if your gaming requirements are fairly minor, is a lot of work for the video card, so a new video card and the Dell might be a better choice depending on what your current card is.

I have an XR341CK at home and a U3415W at work. This was the correct choice. The dell has a slightly better stand, but if the potential of using more than one computer exists, the Dell has a much better USB hub. It has two inputs and lets you tie each to a video input so with four button presses I can switch from the DP in to the HDMI in and my keyboard, mouse and the USB drive in the keyboard all switch over to the right computer. The Acer has a bit higher framerate which is nice, and freesync which is finicky on my computer but is quite nice for gaming. I run it with a 290 and it's still running fine but I'm okay with lower settings.

People pimp the Acer because if you have an AMD card it has a higher refresh rate (75Hz vs 60Hz) and supports FreeSync. If you have a NVidia card, it has neither of those things, and is just a normal 60Hz panel. If you don't care about being over 60Hz, you may also want to look at the widescreen options from LG and the new Samsung CF791, then go with whichever you can get cheapest. The Dell is always a solid choice, though, and comes with a very nice stand and the best warranty and support in the business.

Cool, thanks for input! I have NVidia card so that's a point for Dell, and as I understand it the new Samsung is Freesync, right? So it wouldn't do me much good (unless I get a new card). I also am already having an existential crisis buying a $700 monitor so a $1k one doesn't really ease that, especially when you tack on that I'd need a new card to really utilize it. I definitely don't care about over 60Hz since really the only things I play on there are Final Fantasy XIV and Dark Souls 2. You mention LG models - is there any particular model that is more highly lauded than the others? It looks like some of those options are a little more affordable, but I haven't heard as much about these as I have the Dell so I'm hesitant to lean towards one of those over the Dell. Any reason one of the LGs would be preferred over the Dell, short of price?

The LG panels are what everyone uses, it's mostly a feature tradeoff versus price, and they've got the best software if you want one of the programs that makes regions for your windows to snap into (theirs let you just drag the window borders, which is nice although mostly superseded by W10's snap implementation unless you really like triple columns).

For the non-G Sync models the Dell is head and shoulders better than the other options. The build quality alone is a night and day difference. The only model that is near the Dell is the Asus but you are spending another 3-400 dollars for it or the Acer. The LG models feel incredibly cheap and the Samsung doesn't feel much better and somehow has a fuzzy picture as well.
