I'm thinking about replacing my Dell S2409W. What's the opinion of the ASUS VG248QE 24", I see it's 1ms response time, able to do 144hz, with, uh, 80 million to 1 contrast ratio? That's gotta be some dynamic thing right? I don't think I'll be using 3D though. I hear while the stats are good, it's colour isn't?

Does the Asus Vg248qe lightboost hack work with the PS3?

Huh that's weird, using that strobelight lightboost program stops my audio via hdmi > AVR > speakers. Strange.

catch22 posted:Got my Asus VG248QE in the mail this morning, unfortunately I had to go to work so I won't be able to check it out till I get home. Obviously I got it for gaming, though I'd still like to get a 1440 IPS display for browsing/Netflix while I'm playing games on the other monitor. Is having two very different monitors side-by-side like this known to cause headaches or eye strain? As someone that recently brought a VG248QE, I had a hell of a time adjusting the height. I couldn't even find any youtube videos on how to do it. Seems so simple now that I think about it.

That reminds me, when I use lightboost I loose my audio over GPU > hdmi > AVR > speakers.

Zorilla posted:I'm not sure how much it would help, but shouldn't it be connected like this anyway? While my AVR does upto 4k passthrough, I don't think HDMI can do 1080p @ 144hz yet. S/PDIF sounds like a good idea though.

Talking about res higher than 1080p, Has anyone had any luck doing that downsample trick with the Asus vg248qe? I can't seem to get it beyond 2880x1620p@60hz. I'd love to get it to 3840x2160.

Jack the Lad posted:What's this trick? Pretty interested! If the test fails, lower the hz to 59, if fails again try 58 etc. I'm only using automatic timings, setting them manually lets you have more success. Once a custom res has been saved, it's selectable in most game's option screens. You could also run your desktop at this res but poo poo won't be readable

I just remembered, you also need to set this too. (perform scaling on GPU + override scaling mode)

Today I learned something that should have been common knowledge. I was getting kinda worried when my GTX 680 was idling at 60c, (140f) My CPU was idling at 35 and my 4 temp probes around the case where at around 25c so I know it wasn't ambient related. I brought a can of compressed air and dusted the inside of everything, I even updated to the latest Beta drivers and nothing helped. ...Turns out going from 2 monitors to 3 monitors causes GTX cards to be unable to enter the idle state. The gently caress, Nvidia, why would it even do that? Luckily NvidiaInspector fixed the issue. Down to 39c idle from 60c. (39c while sandwiched in SLI)  Skilleddk posted:edit: I suspect the two "round" parts on the back should be the adjustments but they ain't moving. I don't want to brute force it, I apply strenght and the monitor starts to creak. Don't want to break a brand new 500$ monitor Maybe a little oil to loosen it up a bit on the part that pivots.

I couldn't really see the stuttering but once they turned vsync off, then span the camera around the whole thing, the tearing on the left (non G-sync) was very obvious while the monitor on the right had no tearing.

Yeah I saw that but if it can do 2160p@60Hz, why does it list 1080p also at 60Hz, and not 1080p@120Hz?

I have one of those and it's awesome, AFTER calibration. You can easily find a profile file for that monitor. The best mode is standard, all the others "theatre mode", etc are useless. Also check out the lightboost hack / stropelight.exe thing.

The VG248QE (and so probably the XL2420TE too) also have great response times in 2g2 and input lag so even if you run it at 60hz it's still a great gaming monitor. [edit] How does the PS3 do 3D? 30fps/30fps ?

One day I'd like to have a 3 monitor setup and while 5760x1080 is cool but I'd rather turn them sideways and do 3240x1920 but with TN panels that's not really an option.

I wonder what ASUS's 4k is like. The PQ321QE 4K http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-058-AS&groupid=17&catid=1120 £3000! ($4830) Now...to buy 3 of them for 11520x2160 and 3 Titans (£2700/$4246) Can I borrow £11700 / $18834 from someone?

Gonkish posted:So do we have any kind of estimate as to when G-Sync monitors are due out? Last I heard it was ASUS only, and only for their 144Hz monitors, right? I think G-Sync is going to be game changing but WHY put it on their fastest monitors? Surely the 1600p screens with low FPS would benefit from G-Sync the most?

Also I know for a fact I'm not the only one that brought a new PC monitor because GTAV looked absolutely poo poo on our 1080p big screen TV's. Going from my 50 inch 1080p "slow" tv to a 24 inch 1ms g2g ASUS vg248qe made the game look a ton better. [edit] Wait, that's not what you're asking I think.

Currently planning on getting a PB278QR but I also like the specs of the PG279Q with it's 165hz + GSync goodness. My GTX 970 probably can't do 1440p @ 165hz very well (or at all) but I can always buy a better GPU. My worry is I'll be limited by my 2500k  I keep flipping between wanting to upgrade this PC and buying a new 8700k 1080Ti system.

My computer desk is wide enough for just 1 monitor but I want to use a second one for looking up reference material when I'm doing photo/design work. I have a shelf about 37 inches above my computer desk, and I like the usability of those Vesa arms that clamp to desks and stuff. But do they work upside down?

My center channel speaker is right above the first monitor unfortunately. Zarin posted:The arms are typically designed to fight against gravity; upside-down may produce weird results. Or it may not! I'm not really sure, to be honest. Ceiling mount vesa arm? That's something I haven't looked for, thanks [edit] I could also get a triple monitor stand (non clamp sort) but those sound like it wouldn't be very stable https://www.amazon.co.uk/VonHaus-Monitor-Ergonomic-Rotation-Dimensions/dp/B01C5Z9R6A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8 Ak Gara fucked around with this message at 17:28 on May 6, 2018 |
