I'm looking for a 1440p144 27-32 inch monitor that does HDR. I can spend up to $500 if the feature set is there. I'd like to keep it to 300-400 though. I looked back a few pages and most of the recommendations seem to be for a smaller budget just want to know if the extra $100 gets me something more than the NX-EDG27S v2 ( looking to add HDR) edit: I'm using an AMD card so Free Sync Icept posted:Anyone have any first hand experience with the Asus VG279QM? I'm pretty sure 1080p280 is near the max bandwidth of display port. You aren't getting that at a higher res without turning off Free Sync / G Sync which you would NOT want to do at that high a refresh rate. pixaal fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Apr 13, 2020 |

Nuts and Gum posted:That's really interesting, I didn't realize CRTs were literally still superior in that way. Xbox does up to 120 on select titles, PS4 supports 10bit color on select titles. You also need the pro version of the console I believe for both of these.

Mistikman posted:Are there any monitors out that currently support Displayport 2.0 yet? You could run integer scaled 1080p144h which would look good or 4k60 which would also look good due to Freesync / G-sync you probably would end up better than a locked 60. You still could get it as 2 monitors for less most likely (and the 1080 at 240hz+) but you pay for saving desk space.

27 inches is the sweet spot for 1440p monitors when I checked in February and that's probably not changing until the new Display port revision and they have more bandwidth for data. If you are going for a high refresh rate monitor Freesync / Gsync are an absolute must unless you are sure you can hit it in every game (60FPS looks stuttery on a 165Hz monitor that doesn't have an adaptive sync) Freesync should work with both AMD and Nvid, I have the goon recommended Pixio Prime ($399.99) which is a 165Hz freesync works wonderfully with my RX5700 You are going to pay a premium for a 1440p144hz+ monitor that isn't 27inches. which is fine, it's just where the pixel density seems to have settled and the most monitors are competing so good quality monitors are affordable at that size. A 32 Inch monitor will remove features and still cost 50% more. pixaal fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Jul 24, 2020 |

As long as you can keep your framerate in the range of the monitor's active sync it will look the same as getting a steady 144 or whatever your rate is. Check the specs for the active sync range. It should be pretty easy to find will look something like AMD Radeon FreeSync Premium Certified (Range 48-165Hz @DisplayPort, 48-144Hz @HDMI), G-Sync compatible which means everything looks amazing at 48-165FPS you don't want to run outside that range.

shrike82 posted:Do the larger monitors (>27) have some form of native PIP to allow you to split the screen into two logical monitors? Ultramon, should do what you want. AMDs eyefinity can combine monitors not sure about split them up. Any reason not to do this in windows instead of adding a feature mostly found on really high end monitors?

Statutory Ape posted:display fusion allows you to make custom partitions on a single monitor that it will treat as different screens He followed up to my similar suggestion saying his actual use case is multiple inputs and wants to display them at the same time. So that is going to require a monitor or a capture card. I'm at a loss for actual hardware that supports this.

Rinkles posted:I'd like to "future-proof" by getting a 1440p monitor, but 1080p gaming is gonna look like rear end on that kind of monitor right? (I have a 970, not going to be able to upgrade for the foreseeable future) You can in your video driver have it display it on the proper number of pixels and you get a nice thick black boarder (shrinking your screen size). This does matter for lazy console ports that max at 1080, if it maxes to 720 that's actually good since that integer scales to 1440p and will look way better than on a 1080p since you can actually run at native res. (there's not many games that max at 720p though, if you want to do it with 1080p you want to wait for 4k).

Former Human posted:Sup U2412 buddy. People think I'm weird for preferring a 16:10 ratio but Asus, Acer, and LG still make them. I absolutely love 16:10, you can fit the taskbar and full screen a video! It is perfect for Netflix off monitor! I find more and more games force 16:9 with black borders. 16:10 support used to be a given in PC titles.

When the LG was out of stock constantly in March the thread was going with the Pixio PX7 Prime https://www.amazon.com/Pixio-FreeSync-Certified-Warranty-Compatible/dp/B07WGXXV55 Very happy with it, and it does 165hz.

If it's actually the mickey mouse plug going into that power brick (looks like it could be) you want to search for a C5 cable of however many feet you need.

CaptainSarcastic posted:The one exception I would put here is electric heaters. While a lot of them would be fine, I have also run into some that definitely were not. most space heaters are complete garbage. Your computer puts out way more heat per watt than a space heater. Replace the space heater with whatever old computer hardware you have lying around and set it to run folding@home (or mine bitcoin). You probably want to run this on Linux and have it setup so it's not going to brick when you cut power because you are using it as a spaceheater primarily.

literally this big posted:I see some of these monitors come with Free Sync. What is that? Does it matter if my PC has an Nvidia card? FreeSync is opensource Gsync, basically what AMD uses and has now seems to be becoming the standard since many are now Gsync certified. You absolutely care about having one of them.

Gabriel S. posted:Same. I’d want a 4K Monitor to start at no less than 30”. I really like 30 1440p but had to settle with a 27 because there is a pretty big premium on a monitor that big (or was in March). I'd really like a bright 4k actual HDR 32 IPS that you can feel the heat coming off it.

Paul MaudDib posted:it's the other way around, VRR offers no benefits if you can push beyond the refresh rate (you will either have to cap your fps either in-game or by enabling VSync, or accept tearing when this happens). There is a min refresh rate too and you want to stay above that, if you can't hit a monitors min refresh rate you really are better off investing in a better video card though because it's normally in the 40s.

Verviticus posted:pulled the trigger on the LG on an open box one that was described as "minor cosmetic defects" so i guess we'll see for $50 off which after all the poo poo ive bought so far, i'm going to need. and i dont really care if it has a scratch or a gouge Do you still get the full warranty? That can very much be worth the $50 to know you have a monitor for the next 3 years and don't have to spend anything to replace it if it dies (unless it gets physically damaged by falling or something hitting it I guess).

Whenever someone starts mentioning KVMs but don't already know about them I question if Synergy is a better option and it normally does end up being a better solution for them. https://symless.com/synergy This lets you control multiple computers with the same keyboard and mouse, you will need another monitor for the macbook or for it to just be open and next to it so you can see it and control it. This is what most people want to do say control the music on their laptop while playing a game. KVMs are normally designed for server use and as such tend to not have the bandwidth and bells and whistles for extremely high bandwidth monitors. You may even need the KVM to support freesync to get it to work over it I'm not entirely sure. I honestly wouldn't use a KVM with a gaming computer based off seeing them in server rooms they are great for business application but they are not performance.

That does sound like a lovely cable, or like you used the one that came with your old monitor that doesn't have enough bandwidth because you went HDMI is HDMI.

Not familiar with that exact monitor but most VRR monitors flicker like crazy if you set them to "fastest" instead of "fast" fastest is a marketing gimmick setting that doesn't work right in anything but a lab setting it's so they can put better numbers on the box.
