Am I correct in understanding that HDMI 2.1 is basically only supported in monitors with native G-Sync modules right now?

The ASUS XG27AQM just got announced. It checks all the 1440p boxes from the information available, definitely one to watch. It doesn't support 4K input, though. 1440p270 IPS, pre-calibrated, ELMB, G-Sync Compatible. EDIT: sRGB mode locks a lot of configuration like brightness which seems dumb. kliras fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Apr 21, 2021 |

Asus ROG Swift PG279QM review: perhaps the best higher-end 1440p240 at $850: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th3LLfm7nl0 Missing: - Backlight strobing (ULMB) - Pre-calibration - 4K support (says in manual, not review) Does have: excellent sRGB emulation. For a cheaper option without native G-Sync, we'll have to wait what the ROG Strix XG27AQM performs like. It's probably gonna be a while before they get a copy of it. kliras fucked around with this message at 14:46 on May 1, 2021 |

Speaking of Samsung. https://twitter.com/TFTCentral/status/1407228990037925890 4K144, HDMI 2.1, 28" 1440p165 (DP 1.2, wtf) 1080p144 Sounds like they feature something like HDMI-CEC branded as "Auto Source Switch+", too. kliras fucked around with this message at 10:43 on Jun 22, 2021 |

Speaking of brightness, can you always override "locked" brightness settings through Windows software (third-party stuff), or is it locked down all the way through firmware? Some good sRGB modes out there with locked settings.

Judging by naming, I'm assuming UltraFine is LG's equivalent of Dell's UltraSharp? Because UltraSharps are the bee's knees.

There isn't really a perfect 1440p240 monitor right now. The ASUS PG279QM was supposed to be it, but the idiots did not include ELMB (motion-blur reduction). The version without G-Sync, X-something, of course has it. Not sure what the story is with that, but super annoying of them to leave it out of an otherwise kitchen-sink monitor. At a $850 price point to boot. At least more companies are realizing that sRGB mode is kinda important for those things we call videogames. Monitors feel like one of the most glacial spaces of improvement. kliras fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Aug 29, 2021 |

Someone made a tool that also works as an sRGB clamp for Nvidia GPUs, but since my monitors are sRGB, I haven't had a chance to take it for a spin.

It's frankly a huge selling point for AMD GPUs over Nvidia. Having to pick your monitors based on whether it has sRGB mode or not is so dumb, and definitely not helping people who are looking for both a monitor and GPU. On top of a lot of this stuff applying OS-wide instead of per monitor.

I know the more modern standards have higher data transfer rates but I thought that was well above anything I would be using. DP 1.2 also supports daisy chaining which is neat if you have one or two basic 1080p60 monitors that won't exceed the required bandwidth. kliras fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Sep 4, 2021 |

Anyone with experience repairing busted backlights on monitors? My ancient monitor is about to eat it, but it seems like a tall order just to get the right parts, not to mention possible expenses. The online guides aren't what I would call reassuring.

Ten years old or something, so probably. It also sounds like a borderline health risk, so I think I'll just go solo monitor when it dies and wait for a good 1440p monitor to come along. Maybe the XB273UNX will actually come out one day.

Old monitor's about to eat it, so instead of compromising and just getting some temporary upgrade, I thought I'd take the opportunity to set up a price drop alert for Black Friday anyway. Is MAG274QRF-QD basically the best mid-level 1440p monitor, if I want IPS and a dedicated sRGB mode with no BGR going on? Higher-end 1440p240 is too recent to get discounted (significantly) unless it's Alienware, and Dell have already said they have no plans for implementing an sRGB mode in those, so no reason to bother with that for me.

Do monitors tend to have Black Friday deals in general? I know LG are great it, but no idea how it is for computer monitors, and I imagine the profit margin might be a little different.

I don't live in NA, so it's more of a game of hoping for more structural "trickle-down" sales happening over here. I think they'll probably do some kind of Black Friday/Cyber Monday type of week where my price trackers will hopefully alert me to something happening. But yeah, the -QD deal is pretty nuts for those who are able to get it. Of course, it's also a factor how good a store's refund policy is for stuff like dead and stuck pixels etc.

Has anything new at all been made in the realm of colorimeters? Or is it still the same ancient tools that have cost the same for like ten-fifteen years? Not a lot of rental options here as far as I can tell, alas.

Anyone know if the default profiles on MSI Optix monitors are Rec 2020? For some reason, it's not shown anywhere, even in the custom profiles. Unless the profile name is the gamut like DCI-P3, sRGB, Adobe RGB etc. But for every other one, it's a bit of a mess.

Most of the guides I know are gaming-oriented, but if I wanted to bookmark a monitor for when my old secondary monitor dies, what's a good 1440p120(+) RGB IPS monitor for non-gaming, meaning that Adaptive Sync isn't important here? Maybe even a Dell UltraSharp? Having it be pre-calibrated with sRGB emulation would probably be a good thing.

If there's something I love, it's having to buy new display cables because there's no way to tell what the gently caress they support. I thought it was only HDMI that didn't have versions printed on, but apparently DisplayPort is just as bad? With HDMI, I can at least use it on the Apple TV as a basic quality test, not sure what to do with DP. Maybe there's a basic cable tester that isn't Linus's $15,000 monstrosity I can get myself for Christmas.

Anyone know if that USB-B cable on an MSI monitor used for switching profiles in the fly depending on apps etc needs to be high speed? Apparently it's USB3, but it's also short as hell which makes it a pain for cable management, and I kinda want to replace it, but not sure what weird quirks might happen as a result.

Bakalakadaka posted:Looking into getting myself a new monitor. I'm still using a gtx 1070 with a 60" 1080p TV but I want to move stuff around and I'll need to get a monitor for my gaming pc to configure my room the way I want it. I think what I want is a 27" 1440p monitor. I don't really expect to get higher than 60fps in any shiny new games at this point but looking around it sounds like a 1070 can do 1440p just fine for most games, maybe with a few settings turned down. If you aren't already, you can also make a macro button that sets battle effects to Simple during instances to make things flow even better.

you could pass it to something like mpv or madvr if you really want, but it’s such a huge hassle with tv’s, the manufacturers know what the processor can handle and pick the right scaling algos and settings. can’t just do the same on pc, and I’ve kind of given up on watching anything on pc and monitor at this point

one of the things about backlight strobing is that it can be a pain to turn on and off. on my msi monitor, i can automatically change profiles based on the game, but enabling backlight strobing breaks adaptive sync so i have to manually notice and enable it again it's not just a matter of whether it's available, but also how. make sure to look into that when considering a monitor i'm not a huge competitive fps gamer, so i'm probably just not going to enable it for the most part. maybe that'll change when the nvidia 40-series is out and i get much better fps, but it's a big hassle unless there's a major improvement to your experience

my MAG274QRF-QD just got refunded by rma, and i'm wondering if i should order the same or better monitors have come out or might come out in the near future? especially since i actually have to pay more for this monitor than when i bought it on sale definitely want one with srgb mode and g-sync compatibility. 27" 1440p non-curved etc ironically, it looks like the m27q-x is discounted to be the same price as the -qd, which seems compelling; the default calibration of the -qd was ... not great and are there other future panels or monitors out there to check out? i think qd-oled sounds a bit too much like a mixed bag right now kliras fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Jul 25, 2022 |
