SlayVus posted:Can an hdmi cable just fail? And like other electronics, it can die at a random point in time for no apparent reason. So it might not be related to the brown out. Definitely worth trying a new cable or cables.

Well when you think about it it's actually 19 copper wires, soldered onto connectors at both ends. Lots of points of failure. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI) A partially functional cable like yours could easily have an issue with just one of the 19 wires or one of the 38 connections they make. Usually it's physically broken inside from wear and tear or abuse. There are probably other explanations though. edit: incoherent

I also have my main monitor in front of me and secondary to the left, part of this is because I play games on the main monitor. Curious what others will say.

Otakufag posted:Is there a 24 inch, 1080p, 144hz, gsync, ips monitor in the horizon or am I hosed? I guess it makes sense that most people who want 144 + gsync + ips are looking for 27" or bigger. Personally though I'm one of those people who just prefers 24 for gaming and finds bigger to be uncomfortable. Sometimes I think I should get a different desk and sit further away from the monitor to try and make 27" work but it seems silly to spend a lot of money buying a nice 27" and then essentially try to trick myself into not noticing it's bigger. That samsung one freaks me out. What is supposed to be the point of a curved display at only 24"? I see the value in curving a big ultrawide but curved 24" sounds really weird to me. I wonder if I can go look at one somewhere at some point.

DrDork posted:As AVeryLargeRadish noted, all monitors claiming to be 24" or 27" or whatever are talking about screen size, and even then it's approximate (you'll find a lot of 23.5" ones listed as 24", for example). What you really need to do is get a tape measure out and see how big your space actually is, and then compare that to the width specified in the monitor's details. For example, the U2415 is a 24" monitor, but has an actual physical width of 20.95" whereas the ASUS VG248QE is also a 24" monitor, but has a width of 22.4". Just to clarify if anyone reading it was uncertain, when they say 27" monitor they're talking about the approximite screen size measured diagonally. But the more important thing is the point that bezels vary in width. So yeah measuring the space and looking at the monitors width in its specs, not it's size but it's width, is the way to go.

Brightman posted:Okay, that's annoying, but yeah. I finally found a detailed, technical explanation as to why, like 40fps is a frame every 25ms and 60Hz is a frame displayed every 16.7ms, so yeah it doesn't line-up, was being dumb and just thinking of it as a block of frames rather than a constant rate

There are lots of nice 24" monitors. The main thing thing about 24"/1080p is that you have to choose between higher refresh rate or higher quality colours (ie IPS panels.) You have to go 27"/1440p to get both in the same monitor. If you play games where a higher refresh rate is nice, imo they are worth getting but the colours are definitely nicer on IPS screens. Which are only found in 60Hz 1080p monitors or higher res monitors.

I don't think I've ever seen an LCD monitor that can run at non native resolution without the image quality becoming absolute trash (not counting ones that will letterbox/pillarbox which generally is something people try to avoid anyway) so I think input lag would be the least of your concerns. Like AVLR said though, it's just not something you generally need to do. Why not just run at native res at all times?

Mainstream computer monitors transitioned to all being widescreen more around 2006-2007 but that's not the point anyway. As a side note which might help you, some older games you can trick into running widescreen with minimal effort. For example warcraft 3 doesn't show any widescreen resolutions in its graphics options because its from 2003 but its like a 30 second registry edit to put it in whatever resolution you want. So some of your games you may be able to do stuff like this. Anyway, even if some games you play are not going to cooperate on resolution I don't think you're likely to notice the input lag much. That review shows they're getting like 25ms input lag on non native resolutions, thats not exactly amazing but keep in mind that gaming at 40fps is a frame every ~25ms. So okay it might not feel like a proper low input lag and solid 60Hz setup but its literally going to feel better than 30fps console gaming still. If you're hardcore enough to care about that amount of input lag, I feel like the trash image quality of any LCD screen running at non-native is going to annoy you/hurt your gaming performance way more.

That's great news, to be fair I am generalizing so I guess I'm just lumping in all current monitors with the older ones/ones I've tried. Considering how some software doesn't like to play nice with DPI scaling, if I was going to get a 4k monitor I'd be very glad to find out it can look nice in 1440p also. Have you tried any gaming on it? I feel like maybe not when you have the XB270HU too, but just curious if you've done any testing. I guess maybe it doesn't matter, if you are coding on it and text looks fine then I'd imagine any game is going to look fine too. On the older/cheaper monitors where I've seen crappy scaling of non-native resolution, there's no way you'd be coding on it and be okay with how text looks.

Hm cool, that makes sense. 1x40 equivilant does sound pretty dim so maybe that's a factor, I know I don't get the "white square in a black void" effect when I have the lights on. I'd be surprised if you can read a book comfortably under 1x40 without needing a reading lamp but my eyes might just suck, I'm pretty sure they're slowly getting worse. My computer room is a bedroom I use as a den and has 2x60w equiv lamps in it. 5000k sounds pretty hospital yeah, my 60-equivalent CFLs are apparently 2700k. As off-topic as this seems, if you can get 4x25 or 4x40 in your light fixture with a colour temperature you like, you might immediately like your new monitor more. Worth a shot anyway

Alereon posted:To put it in perspective, your monitor at those settings is exactly as bright as a sheet of white paper in a properly lit room. If this is burning your eyes, either you are Gollum or the monitor isn't set properly. Considering he was using 1x 40w bulb for a whole room, even if its a small room I think he's Gollum. Which is actually pretty cool to have someone so famous posting on SA

poo poo, that is hilarious. I actually didn't think about comparing it to refresh rate until you mentioned it. But high refresh rate makes a MUCH bigger difference in terms of competitive advantage than FOV, I'm sure. And it's the same thing, advantages people with certain hardware over people with other hardware. So I guess the lesson here is that Blizzard is ridiculous

Also overwatch is a game where you'll really notice high refresh rate, and a game where a gtx 1060 can actually do high fps. So yeah you'll probably be happy with it
