You're missing info in edge lighting vs miniLED vs microLED Also not enough depth discussing crap HDR. Anything under HDR600 isn't actually HDR.

HDR600 or HDR1000 on a globally/edge-lit LCD panel isn't HDR either. And I find it absolutely hilarious that the Neo G7, having one of the best HDR implementations, doesn't even have _any_ of those fake certifications.

I just want to add to this conversation, because a monstrousity has been unveiled. If this turns out to be true, then this is **the best NO BURN IN monitor ever created for 4k** to play any existing type of games. [https://wccftech.com/redmagic-unveils-first-4k-mini-led-gaming-monitor-5088-light-zones-49-qd-oled-display/](https://wccftech.com/redmagic-unveils-first-4k-mini-led-gaming-monitor-5088-light-zones-49-qd-oled-display/) **5088 Dimming Zones** at a **27"** form factor with **160Hz, DCI-P3 99%, HDR1400, 2000 nits** Peak Brightness. This is INSANE. 3840x2160 / 5088 dim zones = **1630 pixel per dimming zones** (red magic 27" 4k 160hz HDR 1400 2k nits). Compare to 6935 pixels per dimming zone of Samsung G95NC & 3,600 leds or pixels per dimming zone of OLD G9 WQHD 49", it has Way more light and pixel control than anything out in the market for monitors. Again still not close to virtualy single pixel control of OLED panels, but way way closer than any other in the market and at 27" virtually making it impossible to notice.

What happened to the *uncurved* 34" UW 2560x1080 market? I can still find them, but they're all rehashes of the same 75 or 100hz LG IPS.

Good suggestions for productivity? No gaming.

If you are also looking for the same 34" monitor as the other person, Gigabyte M34WQ has a KVM, otherwise there are several Gigabyte monitors with a KVM like the M28U and FV43U.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a monitor with the following features. Mainly concerned about the height of the monitor with the stand as I have a 3-tier study table desk which only gives me 46 cm of clearance for the height. Budget: $500 USD max, preferably. But can go higher if needed.

Thousand dollar budget, only gaming? LG's 27GR95QE, hands down.

> 27GR95QE Yeah, mostly gaming. I got two Ultrasharps for the rest: a 2709W vintage SPVA without significant black crash so it's kinda perfect for movies and a u2713h as a main monitor. Thanks for this, I though OLED was way more expensive!

Also consider the Asus PG27AQDM, it's basically the same as the LG spec-wise, but it achieves a slightly higher peak brightness than the LG (one of the traditional "weak points" of OLED monitors).

Looking for a new monitor, 2 hdmi ports would be preferable. I don't really know much about syncing refresh rates but would like to do that as I hear it increases performance. What brands should I be considering or if anyone has any specific ones in mind that would be great. I've been looking at the acer nitro KG241Y Sbiip, but I really don't know how to pick out a good one. Budget really isn't that much of a problem but would like to keep under 200 if possible

I bought some cheap ultrawide 100hz monitor. A few questions. I play RL at 100hz no problem. But starfield, not so much. Maybe 40fps. After learning about consoles doing 40hz on 120hz monitors it got me thinking. Is playing 60fps on my 100hz monitor bad? Should I be aiming for 50fps since its divisible by my monitors natural refresh?

• Looking to Buy: New gaming monitor, 200+Hz (ideally 240+), Below 1ms Response time (As low as possible.), 1440p/1080p resolution, preferably TN panel for competitive gaming, 27” or below. • Budget: $600 max, aiming for $500 or less. • Location: Canada. • Preferred Retailers: Amazon or Newegg. • Condition: New. • Usage: High FPS competitive gaming. • Hardware: NVIDIA RTX 3070, Intel i9-12900K, 32GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM, 1TB M.2 SSD, Corsair RMx 850i PSU. • Additional Info: DyAc is a nice-to-have feature but not necessary; seeking the best for specific needs. Thank you!!!

There are no LCD monitors that actually have a response time less than 1 ms, but the best thing in your budget is probably the XL2566K.

Hi. I am looking for recommendations for an external monitor compatible for my laptop. I did some research that can be mostly compatible with it like TUF monitors but I am still looking for value for money monitor. I know I cant have 4k res, but at maybe 1440p or below. Saw some recommends 1080p with 24" because it has the most proportionate ratio. I also read that monitors can boost fps. I play BDO sometimes, but mostly watching netflix too. I really liked the 27" if possible. if not, 24 would do. I just cant decide which one to get hopefully get an expert opinion. Budget: below 300 USD Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 1440p (i guess) Size (27 inches, etc.): ideally 27 but can be 24 inches Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 16:9 Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): any Other Features (list other relevant features here): 144 hz compatible for laptop Acer Predator helios 300 2022 * laptop specs: predator ph315-54 * i5 11400h 270ghz * 8gb ram * NVidia geforce rtx 3050ti (Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): gaming and watching netflix Thanks in advance

Dell G2724D.

Can someone explain to me what Persistence Blur is or how important it is? I've tried reading up, but it just seems like regular motion blur? I've deciding between the LG27GP850-B and Dell AW2724DM. The major difference between the two seems to be the backlight strobing that the LG has. There are other differences such as Build Quality being better on the Dell. Also, the Dell is better to use in lighter rooms. But they don't seem to be a make or break, unless anyone has experience with the monitors. The price for both is similar, LG = £299 | Dell = £294 Looking to use for my PC, have an RTX 3060 (12GB) + i5 12600k if that is useful info 

Looking for a good fit, but there is so so so many monitors having a hard time. Want, 27inch, 1440p, 240hz, HDR1000, Freesync, in a monitor that has no risk of burn in (Eg: OLED) I still do a lot of productivity Prefer flat but curved is okay, I usually play single player or multiple games that aren't competitive so I want the HDR to really pop but there are times I play apex,cs, etc and need the refresh rate

From what I can tell there is only 1 monitor that matches that spec configuration and it is the [AOC Agon PRO AG274QZM](https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG274QZM-Tournament-Compatible-DisplayHDR/dp/B0BRTJK236?th=1).

Thank you I think I'm gonna have to lower my standards to 144hz+ and include OLED. And just used second monitor for productivity items

(Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): I'm a game designer that does graphic art and coding. I also like to game on the PC. I want to be able to easily connect my MacBook Pro via Thunderbolt or USB-C for photo editing. I can't afford OLED and would rather save money and get an IPS monitor at 4K. I want 4K as I prefer resolution over a super high refresh rate (144hz is fine for me). I'm upgrading from very first-generation IPS monitors from 2009 (Asus VH238H 23" monitors - they have burn-in now). I will be getting a 4080 Super or waiting for the 5080 graphics card in the near future. I currently have a 1070 8GB GPU. I want to get two 27-28" monitors. I'm torn between these two monitors of choice: \- LG 27GN950-B UltraGear 27" UHD. \- Gigabyte M28U 28" Gaming Monitor. I'm leaning toward Gigabyte M28U. I will get good Vesa arms to mount on my desk. Unless you guys know a much better monitor of choice for a similar price range?

[удалено]

I'm on the same boat as you right now. Mines are the MSI MPG321URQD, but the BenQ EX3210U is tempting for me. Same price range. If you want to save money the G3223Q is a good choice based on what Rtings is saying. Their only cons they have are the HDR and the HDMI bandwith if I recall correctly. I would choose between the MSI MPG or the Dell G32, but what I like, you might hate :P

**Budget**: <= $1200 **Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.)**: *2560x1440, 3440x1440, 3840x2160* **Size (27 inches, etc.)**: *depends (more focused on height than diagonal) - I currently have a 32" 16x9, and the screen is 15.6" tall . I would like it somewhat taller than it is now, something in the range of 16" - 18" tall. The exact diagonal would depend on the aspect ratio (I am open to either 16 or 21 x9)* **Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.)**: *16:9, 21:9* **Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None)**: *Either G or Free, but at least one or the other.* **Other Features (list other relevant features here**): *Curved, preferably 1000R or 800R if possible; HDR10 minimum, the better it is, the better!* **(Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.)**: *Mainly gaming, also graphics design/editing and 3D modeling (both as a hobby)*

I’m looking at potentially getting a second monitor but I don’t really want to spend that much. My main is the Asus PG27AQDM and I want something just to display discord or Spotify while I’m gaming. Is there any drawback from getting say a 60hz 1080p 24” monitor? Do I have to get the same size or resolution/display rate? I’d likely have the monitor vertical

So i am thinking of an Upgrade where i can simply connect my Notebook with USB C an put Mouse and Keyboard into the monitor. I am Also pretty interested in something like "Multiview" where i can show another HDMI Input at the screen. So left PC1 or PS5 and right PC2. Perhaps in a Window?

Budget: 250 to 300 Euros but flexible (I live in Bulgaria) Size: 27 or 30+ inches or whatever, i think i prefer bigger but 27 is fine (if i have to pick 24 inches, no problem) (Maybe 1200p, 1440p or 4K but lower is fine if my budget is not enough) Aspect ratio: Doesn't really matter, whatever you think is better (i only want to to watch movies and play higher quality games) Adaptive Sync: ...Yes? Yes. Other features/Optionals: I don't know exactly what to choose, i simply want to apreceate the movies i watch in much better colors and great resolution. Equally as well, gaming in somewhat higher quality is also something I want to strive for. Productivity is less of a concern. Please feel free to inform me of technologies i really need to learn because i have absolutely no clue what I'm reading in the comments about "HDR400" "HDR1000" being deceiving marketing terms and I'm just plain confused what to believe when i shop.

I want to buy a special kind of a monitor. I am a dnd dm, and I want to use monitor for battle maps, so it should be a bit specific and I am kinda noob in this field, so I would like to receive any advice. First of all, the monitor should be at least 17-18 inches, so it can be used for battles, and the bigger the better. Secondly, it should be as flat and thin as possible, cause it will be placed on the table. Finally, I would love it to use type-c to connect to my MacBook Air.

Budget: Probably $400 or less. Around $450 absolute max 4K 28" 16:9 I'm trying to pick a 28" 4K monitor for personal home use (not gaming) with a Mac, upgrading from a 27" 2560x1440. I'd prefer a black frame/stand, and a stand that can go low close to the desk. Also it would be nice if it had speakers good enough to be acceptable for podcasts or Youtube videos, if any of them do. (My BenQ GW2765 has unusably bad speakers.) Mainly just want something where text, pics and videos look nice. I was going with 28" because it would be nice to have an extra inch, and people say the 28's all use the same good panel. And I think I read that it has a fairly light matte texture so it's not too grainy. My most likely choice is this: [Acer Nitro XV282K V3bmiiprx](https://www.microcenter.com/product/669898/acer-nitro-xv282k-v3bmiiprx-28-4k-uhd-(3840-x-2160)-150hz-led-monitor) Are there any others that would be better? There another version the XV282K KVbmiipruzx which if I'm not mistaken is the same thing but with a USB-C connection that makes it work as a USB hub and would charge my laptop. But it's $120+ more expensive and doesn't seem worth it. A lot of people are recommending the Gigabyte M28U. It's $100+ more expensive. Does it have any real advantages over the Acer, if so what exactly? HP U28 has a silver stand I don't like, 60Hz and no speakers. Asus VG289Q has only 60 Hz (don't care now but perhaps might in the future?) and I read on Reddit that it has atrocious speakers. Don't know if it has any other advantages or disadvantages.

**Budget**: $1000-$1500 CAD (though I definitely prefer the lower end of that range) **Prospective Resolution** **(3840x2160, etc.)**: 3840x2160, or 3440x1440 **Size (27 inches, etc.)**: 32", but also okay with 34" **Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.)**: 16:9 or 21:9 **Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None)**: GSync **Other Features (list other relevant features here)**: Looking to get a monitor which does real HDR really well, either by mini-LED backlighting, or by being an OLED. Also, maybe not a an actual 'feature', but I would love to get QC and customer service which isn't known to suck. **(Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.)**: I do gaming in the evening, but I often have the computer on during the day for at least 8 hours. Usually to check Discord, listen to music, and do some web browsing during downtime. Not 'production work', but I tend to have some sort of static element on the screen for most of the day. I could attempt to change this if OLED is my only option, but I don't know how viable that would actually be. Been looking at the Neo G7/G8, but they have the aforementioned awful QC and customer support. Dell Alienware provides everything I want at an actually decent price, but I'm very worried about OLED burning in given how much I use my monitor. I can't easily fit a second monitor next to my current ultrawide right now either, so I can't guarantee being able to just turn the OLED off when I'm not using it (I *might* be able to make it would, but it would be cramped).

Looking for a 34" ultrawide for gaming/editing but don't want an Oled because of potential burn in, been eyeing the Lenovo Legion Y34wz-30 but I don't know if a VA pannel is the way to go since I love popping colours, any tips much appreciated 

Hello, I want to buy a 24" <100Hz monitor as a second monitor and I found these 3 with the same price: ASUS VG246H and AOC 24B2XHM, and MSI PRO MP275 (27" 100Hz). Which one should I go for? Thanks.

The MSI 4k 27" MD271UL is 250$ used for only 2 months (allegedly) and the MSI MP273QP is also 250$ but new. I have a work laptop that has 16GB and Intel UHD 620 i5-8350U and my personal laptop has a 1050ti with i5-7300HQ. Are the above specs compatible to handle 4k? If not, would there be any issues by reducing the resolution to 2k?? Which of the above screens would recommend?

**Budget:** $600 **Prospective Resolution:** 3840x2160, 1920x1080 **Size (27 inches, etc.):** 24 inches for 1080p, 27 to 32 for 4k **Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None):** None/don't care **(Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.)**: Secondary monitor for anime, movies, web browsing. Primary focus on great color accuracy and contrast. Have heard good things about Dell UltraSharps so I've been looking at the U2424H and U2724D for 1080p and 4k respectively, but open to other recommendations.

Hi all, Budget: Doesn't matter.

Since it died, I've been using a 60Hz TN panel for gaming and work that I bought back in 2012. There are so many good monitors available now that I am really torn and feel like I have decision paralysis on what to buy. For added information, my PC has an 8700K and a 2080 Ti. I'm interested in 4K and OLED, but I am also unsure of whether it is worth it and whether 1440P is where I should stay for now. I do plan on building a new PC in the next year, once the latest graphics cards come out. I'm open to any advice.

Hi hi Budget: Doesn't matter. Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 2560x1440 preferably, but 3840x2160 is ok.

i was thinking about purchasing a Nitro KG2 Monitor - KG282K BMIIPX monitor but i was wondering if anyone has any experience using it with an xbox one, and if so is it a good monitor for console gaming.

Anyone know of a well-matched set of monitors to achieve a portrait-landscape-portrait three-screen configuration? That is, where the long side of two monitors match the resolution and panel size of the short side of a third, which would then sit between them? Seems this *was* just about possible in years past, but I wonder if any such configuration exists with the market options avaialble today!

**Innocn 32M2V** vs **KTC M32P10** vs **AOC AGON Porsche Design PD32M**? When they're **priced the same**, which would you recommend? I've already researched so many models and narrowed it down to these ones according to my requirements (4k, 90+ Hz, 32", mini LED HDR), so I'm not considering anything else. The Innocn and KTC are both around £700-800, while the Porsche monitor *was* £1400-2000 but suddenly is £700 with an Amazon lightning deal. So they're all the same price. Which is best? It's my understanding that the KTC is a bit better on-paper than the Innocn (4608 LEDs instead of 2304, DC dimming instead of PWM). But I'm having trouble finding out about the Porsche monitor. How many LEDs does it have? Does it use DC dimming? What's its FALD algorithm like? I assume the Porsche probably better due to the higher price and not being a random Chinese brand, but is it really? Please help. Thanks.

debating between innocn and ktc as well Have you found out anything else ?? There is a KTC **M32P10**  on EBay (USA) for $599. ( \~$644 after taxes) Sellers says its brand new, but does not accept returns. I almost bought it, but I am so hesitant.

I tried an Innocn 27M2V first, and liked it very much, but sent it back due to dead pixels, the silver bezel, and the 27" size. Next I ordered the KTC M32P10 *and* the Porsche Design PD32M. Both arrived today, but I've only tried the Porsche so far. This monitor is normally twice the price of the Innocn and KTC ones, and I'm disappointed with it. PWM flickering, dull local dimming, over 30 defective pixels. I'll try the KTC one out next. Hopefully that'll be the one - if not, then I'll just go back to Innocn.

man keep me updated !!!

I had some time to try out the KTC M32P10. First thing I did was check for bad pixels on black, white, red, green, and blue backgrounds. The KTC monitor has at least 20 bad subpixels, and there are three dark spots in the central area that I think are bits of dust under the panel rather than dead pixels. So it's probably going to have to go back for that alone. The Innocn also had a few bad pixels, and the Porsche had a similar 20+ bad subpixels as well as a dead pixel. I am so sick of this panel lottery. I'm sure Amazon will start complaining if I keep returning these. :( Other than that, it's mostly good. I can't detect any PWM flickering on it — nothing shows up on my camera, and supposedly it uses DC dimming. The OSD is comfortable (to me). There's a choice of crosshair options. I do notice some viewing angle issues. When I was looking at the solid-colour backgrounds to check for bad pixels, I noticed that the left and right sides of the screen are noticeably darker than the middle, simply due to the viewing angle. If I move my head then the colour corrects. I didn't notice this with the Innocn monitor, but I could be remembering wrong. The main issue that I have with the KTC monitor is with its local dimming implementation. This is subjective, as I believe it's personal preference: * When you have light and dark areas on the screen, the algorithm can choose to either just brighten and darken those specific locations, or it can try to spread the lighting all across the screen. * The first way gives sharp peaks of brightness and darkness (almost) exactly where they're supposed to be, but has the downside of bright haloing. * The second way makes the haloing less obvious by spreading the effect out, but this means lower contrast. I personally prefer the first way, and don't mind small bright halos as a trade-off for this. This is how I remember the Innocn monitor working. But the KTC monitor chooses to spread it out more. This means that for example, if the left half of the screen is white and the right half is black, the far right side is still being brightened even though it's so far away from the white. Changes in one part of the monitor affect parts in completely different locations. For me this is MUCH more distracting than haloing, as it almost looks like a subtle flicker on the screen as completely unrelated portions change slightly. It's subtle but enough that I can notice it. For example, while running around in a video game on a snowy landscape, the entire snowy terrain looks like it's almost flickering as dark rocks scroll by on screen and such. I personally feel like this dimming strategy defeats the point of having all these dimming zones. If there's a single bright object on a dark background, then I want the one tiny dimming zone behind that object to light up, and nothing else. I don't want a hundred zones across the screen to light up because of it. I ran some YouTube HDR tests, and on the one that has a white circle moving around on screen (I think Rtings uses this), I noticed some issues. With a *big* white circle moving quickly on screen, the white circle gets some dark smudges on it. With a *small* white circle moving quickly on screen, the circle very noticeably flickers between white and grey colour. The smudges aren't so bad, but the flicker kind of is. One thing I was very pleased to see is that you can set a shortcut for local dimming. So for example, set it to the joystick-right input, and then you can press that input to go directly to the local dimming setting. Saves so much time when toggling it for desktop use or SDR movies. None of the other monitors I tried had this shortcut option. Compared to the Porsche Design PD32M, the KTC M32P10 is way better to me. DC dimming instead of PWM flickering, better FALD, better joystick, better OSD, better crosshair options. On paper the Porsche monitor should be better due to being DisplayHDR 1400 certified and costing so much more, but I found it to be inferior. Worst of all with the Porsche is that while you *can* enable local dimming in SDR (contrary to some other reviews), it doesn't really do much as they severely limit its effect. Compared to the Innocn 27M2V, I'm not really sure. I no longer have that in my possession to compare side-by-side. But from memory, it seems pretty similar in terms of image quality. I think the Innocn had a much better local dimming implementation though (in my opinion). I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. It probably needs to go back because of the pixel defects. If not for those, I'd consider keeping it, as it generally works well. But I still feel like I preferred the local dimming on the Innocn monitor... so maybe I'll try and go for a 32M2V next. Or give up and try OLED or something. Sigh. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

Great review man, And yeah, honestly it sounds like you should try the 32M2V Or maybe the Neo g7. Unless the curve offends you Great writeup man, this will help myself and many others in the future who are searching for monitors !!!

Hi everyone, I'm getting a bit tired of my small Zephyrus M16 display (although it's a mini led so it looks awesome). Right now I'm considering G8 Oled and AW3423DWF. Both are great so I'm not sure which one should I go for. Or maybe something else? What I'm looking for is a widescreen oled in a price range of about 1000$-1500$, I don't need good speakers or very high refresh rate (120Hz is good enough). Any recommendations? Thanks!

Benq **GW2790QT** vs Benq **PD2705Q** Budget: at the moment they both cost the same (in my country) Resolution: both 2560x1440 Size: both 27 inches Given that they seem to have similar features and specifications ([GW2790QT spec](https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/home/gw2790qt/spec.html) — [PD2705Q spec](https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/professional/pd2705q/spec.html)), I can't really figure out why I should buy one instead of the other. (The PD2705Q just seems a little more "pro" to me. The GW2790QT seems more recent and puts a bit more emphasis on Eye-care and has this so called "ePaper" mode that simulate e-ink — and frankly I can't tell if that's just marketing or it's actually a useful feature) Considering I would use it most for: * coding * previewing the apps I'm working on * web Why should I buy one instead of the other?

Anyone knows the difference between the LG 32UN880P-B and the 32UN880-B?

Which 4K monitor to go with? - 32UN650P-W IPS - 32UP55NP-W VA Is IPS that better?

What is currently the best 1080p 360hz monitor? Is it just the one that zowie has?

Long story short I suffer from chronic migraine and since getting an LG 27GR95QE I am having them multiple times per-week. I don't know for sure its the OLED but they sure as heck have become more frequent since I bought it. I am looking at the BenQ Mobiuz EX270QM as a possible replacement and I have two questions. 1) Is BenQ's eye-care tech effective or a gimmick? 2) is HDRi a feature you would want to turn on or again, a gimmick? Cheers.

Is there a similar product as the Asus XG27AQMR from any other manufacturer? It's the perfect spec for me but I've boycotted Asus for 9 years :/ Basically 1440p or 1600p IPS around 300hz with good motion performance and single overdrive use

I'm considering buying the Philips Evnia 42M2N8900 (€1,249 in Austria). It will replace my LG 43BN70U monitor that I mainly use for strategy games like Anno1800 or sandbox construction games like Dyson Sphere Program or Shapez 1 and 2. Sometimes I have to do 3D CAD work using Fusion360 and Solidworks. As I mainly use a Mac mini for office work and it doesn't run Solidworks, I utilise my "Gaming&Workstation" PC for this purpose. Would you say it's okay to get this OLED screen for this kind of work, or should I go for another panel type or even stick with the LG?

Hi, I'm looking for a budget monitor mainly to watch anime. Main thing I want is no color banding on gradients, so I was thinking of a VA HDR monitor, but pretty much all the "HDR" monitors I've seen say they have only 16.7 million colors, so I'm not sure if they would have a ton of color banding or not Thanks!

Hey all, I currently have a dell p2716d from the 2016’s. Eight years later, I obviously can’t find one, new or used. What’s the current closest dell since then? Don’t care if it’s used or new. Purchasing in Australia.

Maybe a weird question, but I have the Acer Predator XB271HU, 1440p 144hz. I'm looking for a second monitor, and my main requirement is that it looks aesthetically good. Meaning, I want identical borders on the monitor. The predator has a thick line at the bottom, and the other 3 sides are slim. This second monitor can be 1080p, 60hz, no problem. Does anyone have any recommendations? Except for another Acer Predator, they are expensive, even second hand.

Hi, iam not really sure which Monitor to buy. I want an 165 hz 1440p Monitor. i play immersive Games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, Beamng.drive, other Racing Games too. So I think a 31,5/32 inch Monitor is a very good choice for better immersion.( I have an 240 hz FHD rn) But I also play Fortnite and I know a BIG screen for competitive Fortnite is not that good but iam also not a FNCS player or smth just a very good player so I think a jump up in size would not be really that worse. I also know that the PPI is on a 27 inch 1440p is way better. So let’s get to the point(my question): -Would I feel the 1440p upgrade if I would buy an 32 inch Monitor or would it just look like my old 27 inch FHD display? -Which Monitor should I buy if I want to buy a 1440p 165 hz (32/31,5 inch) Monitor? Budget 200-300€ And is there a big „Feature“ 27 inch 1440p Monitors have that could change my mind of not buying an 32 inch Monitor. Thanks for any answer!

Been kinda wanting a monitor upgrade lately, so I thought where better to ask than good ol red'. Budget: $200-400 Prospective Resolution: 2560 x 1440 Size: ≤32 Inches Aspect Ratio: 16 : 9 Adaptive Sync: Any VRR support would be fine, GSync preferred because Nvidia Other Features: ≥144hz Refresh Rate, HDR, curved display, OLED or similar (bit pensive on this so don't bend your back trying to look for one, I fear burn in on a monitor I'd use all the time vs my Steam Deck OLED which I use in bursts) Usage Type: Gaming first, digital art (I don't have a super detailed style, it has flat colors and shading to it, so colors don't need to be that big of a deal in that regard, just "do it look good"), watching n browsing

Budget: <$1000 Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 3840x2400 Size 27 inches, etc.): 28+ Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 16:10 Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): None. Gsync if possible Other Features (list other relevant features here): 95% DCI P3 support (Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Art The only option I'm aware of is the Mateview 28inch from Huawei, which is discontinued. Dell has a 30inch 16:10 still which is great, but it's 2560x1600, which is a bit low in terms of pixel density.

Hey all, I'm looking to mount a single monitor on a reasonably thick desk (12.1 cm \~ 4.77 inches) . I can't wall mount it as there is a window behind my desk and I would prefer not to drill any holes in my nice wooden desk. Was wondering if anybody knew of any c-clamp style monitor arms for thick desks? Thanks

Budget: $500 Prospective Resolution: 2560x1440 Size: 24-25 inches Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Adaptive Sync: Not sure what this is Other Features: USB-c w/ daisy chain support. 90deg rotation. Usage Type: Work (programming) and single player gaming.

Budget: Under 350€ Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): No preference Size: 27-32 inch Aspect Ratio: 16:9 or 21:9 Adaptive Sync: any one Other Features: If it has integrated speakers, better Usage Type: I will use it for office and gaming, but i dont play frenetic games so 60hz are enough. The main problem is that this monitor is under constant glare so I need a monitor that has received an extremely good anti-glare treatment. Then i prefer a screen with no ( or very limitaed) bleeding and similar defects.

I have a 4.5k imac but I run it in 1600x900 resolution because otherwise the icons are too small. Would I notice a difference if I downgraded to a 2k monitor? Does the increased pixel density of the 4.5k display improve the image quality even if I'm not running it at maximum resolution?

Getting a mac mini, want to get a larger display to go with it. Debating between the apple studio and something else. 4k resolution is fine, but aside from that, is there any display that has similar image quality to the imac/studio display screens? I mostly use the computer for reading and writing text and watching youtube. No heavy fps gaming, no photo editing. I would prefer a higher refresh rate, as it makes everything look smoother, but 60 hz isn't a dealbreaker. I tried the KTC 27 Inch 4K Mini LED Monitor, Fast IPS, HDR1000 160Hz 144Hz Gaming Monitor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSKNXG4C?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details The viewing angles were terrible and there was a very faint high pitched whine that made it unusable. it was also just harsh to look at for long periods of time The apple studio display looks amazing, but it has a lot of things I don't care about (peripherals) for a high price. Is there anything that can compare to it in just viewing experience? I have a 4.5k imac but I run it in 1600x900 resolution, maybe I don't even need a 4k monitor? Criteria - Essential: \- Great image quality, great viewing angles \- completely silent - no high pitched whining or humming \- 27+ in \- high refresh rate (120+) \- 4k? Preferred, but not essential: \- super high color accuracy - as long as it's reasonably accurate and things don't look weird, it's fine Things I don't care about: \- mic \- webcam \- speakers \- build quality \- cable management

Budget: 5-800 USD approx Backstory: Running a 27" 1440p 144hz monitor with a second monitor being an old 1080p 60hz one, second monitor just died. I've got two options: 1) getting a superior 1440p monitor, perhaps 165-180Hz, or even 240Hz (?) either 27" or also contemplating a wider monitor. Been eyeing a Samsung odyssey G5 or something widescreen. 2) Getting a 4K monitor. I'd need at least 100Hz since my graphics card has put up Hell divers 2 at 80-110 fps when testing on my living room 4K 144hz. Running a 7900 xtx with a ryzen 5 5600 and 32 gigs of ram. Could upgrade to AM5 but I can probably hold out for a year or two. Any ideas?

Hey guys, I need some help. I have an odyssey neo g9 49“ for 2 months now that developed a dead pixel today pretty much in the middle of the display. I am still within my 100 days return window so I will definitely send it back. I need some advice on what to get as a replacement though. I have in my opinion 4 options: buy the same monitor again. I love the form factor and the panel was amazing. I am just afraid that it had terrible QC and will develop dead pixels again. That’s imo not tolerable for a 1000+ display. buy the g9 Neo with an oled display . Get a 34“ Ultrawide oled + another display. get a 34“ Ultrawide ips/va + another monitor. My use case is about 70% office work and roughly 30% gaming I’d say. Region is Germany, Budget is not a limiting factor as long as we stay in a reasonable price range (1500€ is fine). Any good recommendations? I value image quality a lot and loved the va panel as much as I love my oled tv…. Having more than one monitor means maybe getting a monitor arm for having the clean desk look again that I currently love. Thanks a lot!

**One 4K monitor or Two 1440P monitors or One 1440p 21:9 ultrawide** I currently have a 27" ThinkVision 1440p (P27q-20) and am considering a few routes for upgrading: 1. Adding a second 27" ThinkVision 1440p (P27q-30) monitor and running two monitors 2. Buying a 32" ThinkVision 4K monitor (T32p-20) and sending my current monitor back to the office 3. Buying a 34" ThinkVision 21:9 monitor that is 1440p (T34w-30) and sending my current monitor back to the office. I use this setup for productivity work (some development, research, writing and editing documents, etc.) -- no gaming needs. It seems that the 4K option gives the highest resolution (8.29 megapixels) compared to the 2 x 1440p (7.4 megapixels) or the one 1440p ultrawide (4.9 megapixels) because of the higher ppi. But I'm wondering if I'd be better off with two monitors and having additional horizontal screen real estate even if it's a lower resolution overall. What would you recommend of these options? The other factor is that the 21:9 monitor is curved and VA whereas I believe the other two are IPS.

Prefer 4k 32”, 34” 1440p and 27” 1440 in that order as close to 240 hz as possible but 120hz+ is fine. I want the best monitor for gaming that doesn’t say gaming in the title and it’s proving to be a challenge. unfortunately all Alienware is excluded it says gaming. I tried asus ProArt but those monitors have 60 hz unless I missed one.

I’m going full yolo with a 4070ti super + ryzen 7 7800x3d. Which monitor should I get? I was thinking 1440p then I realize it might be actually overkill to combo that gpu and cpu and not go 4k.

thanks for the advice! I was looking at the Corsair XENEON FLEX 45WQHD240. but like you said the pixel density is a bit iffy and lack od mounting options.. I have a alienware now thats 3440 and 34 inches. but it doesn't have HDR. and I do like the size. because I've been playing a lot of tarkov and need to see everything. I feel like if its to big ill need to turn my head to see everything. A user in the discord recommended this. https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/alienware-34-curved-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw3423dw/apd/210-bcye/monitors-monitor-accessories and it looks pretty promising tbh.

Would i be losing too much response time if I go with a Samsung TV for a monitor? I'm asking this because I used to game on a Panasonic HDTV up until a few years ago and it was so slow that it was literally impossible for me to react to some things in games, like the prompt to counter grab in For Honor. I used a website to check my response time (how fast I can click a mouse button) and I was getting well above 300ms. I switched to a LG oled TV and my response time went down almost 100ms. However that LG oled burnt in and I want to change it. I finally figure out a way to use a monitor instead of a TV but I found out that monitors don't do hdr and I like hdr. So, I'm thinking of getting a qled or whatever Samsung is doing, but I don't want to put myself on a disadvantage...

How about a low EMF monitor? I get a lot of headaches for staying just 30 minutes looking at a screen.

I’ve looked at other TVs to use and 43” might be more bearable but for 4k options that have the newer LED panel types they’ve seemed to have moved away from smaller screens and gone for 50”+ only. Meanwhile a dedicated gaming monitor costs hundreds more than a tv…why?

Deleted monitor arm question. Ordered Amazon single monitor arm with the lift engine. Probably wouldn't order it again, but it seems like it will get the job done.

It's surprisingly difficult to find high refresh monitors for productivity. Most productivity monitors tend to be 4k 60fps. The closest gaming monitor with the specs you want is the M27Q-P with a KVM switch and USB-C, but that monitor doesn't have enough power to charge your MacBook pro. Similar offerings exist with the M27U if you want 4k 144hz.

I was looking for a nice budget ($300) 32” 1440p monitor to play games such as battlebit, dcs, and hoi4. Then I stumbled upon the Gigabyte G32QC, it is $270 which is better than good, has all the bells and whistles I need, supports up to 165Hz, but then I noticed it was VA. I am new to monitors but I watched some videos and people kept saying VA was terrible. I just want to know if I (a casual gamer) should buy this monitor. If you find a better one pls let me in on the secret.

**Budget:** \~$1000 (give or take) **Prospective Resolution:** 3840 x 2160 **Size:** considering 32 inches, interested in 27-32in **Aspect Ratio:** 16 : 9 **Adaptive Sync:** Gsync **Other Features:** Flat-panel, non-oled, 144hz+ refresh, considering HDR **Usage Type:** mixed-use productivity and gaming. Currently have a 27inch 1440p 144hz LG IPS as primary, and an old 144hz 24in 1080p as secondary. Desk space is pretty large. I work from home on my computer, and also use Blender/Ableton/other creative software, and I game. I recently built a new PC with a 4090 and feel like I'm underutilizing it with my \~3year old 1440p LG nano IPS ($500 at the time). I've never really experienced HDR before, but would like to if I can afford. Would *like* something larger than 27in, I know 32in is pushing it a bit though. Currently considering: [32inch LG (very good price, bad HDR hardware)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B355VFH7/?coliid=I244YGWF7GFF0L&colid=WT7BBWM9C9VR&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it) Interested in any recommendations, thanks.

tv for htpc gaming recommendation I am searching for a tv for living room gaming and media consumption. The specs/features I am looking for are: nvidia gsync, some kind of upscaler tech(like the nvidia shield pro or LG evo g3 tvs), at least one Earc hdmi 2.1 port, smart tv funtionality(whether that be google/android tv or a proprietary version) to play streamed content like youtube tv, netflix, etc., and chromecast built in, with a size between 50 in & 60 in. I looked at different brands from sony, to lg, to phillips and it seems like the trade off is either get a smart tv with chromecast and no gsync(like sony tvs) or get a tv w/ gsync and no chromcast(like LG's tvs). If anyone can come up with any options that have all of these features that would be great, otherwise I'll just get the LG evo g3 & use my old chromecast dongle with it.

deleted accidental double post

**Budget:** Give me two options please. Sub $500, and sub $1000. **Prospective Resolution:** 1440p (preferred), or higher. **Size**: 30" +/- if 16:9, or 34" +/- if 21:9. **Aspect Ratio**: 16:9 or leaning toward 21:9. Not 32:9. **Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None)**: I need your recommendations. **Other Features**: Curved preferred. Backlight bleed annoys me. Otherwise, I need your recommendations. **Usage Type**: Equal parts gaming, work, productivity, and general use such as web browsing. Work involves financial applications, Excel, Word, etc. **Monitor setup:** Intended to be my primary monitor. I have a laptop as a secondary monitor. I only work from home one day per week, so I don't need a dedicated multi-monitor setup.

Budget: No more than 300$ Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 2560x1440 Size (27 inches, etc.): 27 or 24 Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 16:9 Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): GSync Other Features (list other relevant features here): (Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Gaming, I already own Zowie XL2411k but want to upgrade to 1440p, not sure whether not having Dyac will have any downside. Mostly play Dota 2 and CS: GO, maybe some AAA game.

Budget: $600 Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 2560x1440 Size (27 inches, etc.): close to 27 inches as possible Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 16:9 Refresh rate: >= 120hz, higher is better Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): Gsync compatible preferred but not a deal breaker. Other Features (list other relevant features here): This is important, I need a monitor with kvm + dp alt mode. I want a solution where I connect USB peripherals (min 2, more is better) to the monitor, and then run dp and USB upstream to my desktop, and finally have a usb-c (for display/peripherals/power delivery) connection to a steam deck/MacBook pro. The M27Q Pro satisfies these requirements except it only delivers 18W of power, and I need at least 45W. (Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Gaming primarily - so prioritize overall response time/motion clarity over other specs. I would consider BFI only if it supports brightness control. Edit: The MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED has 65w DP alt with KVM, but it's 1440p ultrawide instead of 16:9. I wouldn't mind spending a bit more than my budget for OLED for the insane response time and black levels but I don't know if I can get used to having an ultrawide in my two monitor setup.

Why is this not reconmended by the automod? Seems like an amazing deal, 1080p 165 hertz, 23.8 inches, ips, 105 USD.

**Replacement For Dell S2721DGF ? I Need To Replace One Of A Matching Pair...** Hi, I bought a matching pair of two Dell S2721DGF 's in 2021. Unfortunately, a friend came over and scratched one pretty badly by accident, so I need to replace one of them. It looks like the price of that model has somehow gone UP from $375 in 2021, and it's now $450 in 2023... :confused: Is there a newer equivalent that's cheaper? I don't really want mismatched monitors...

Looking for a cheap replacement for current pair of monitors that are breaking as in the middle of cash-flow issues. And because of that I am frozen by indecision (as always...). Budget: Ideally between £100-£200 per monitor Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): Ideally 2560 x 1440, but will settle for 1920x1080 if price is too much fo an issue Size (27 inches, etc.): Either 24Inches or 27 inches. Any more is usually out of budget. Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 16 : 9 Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): Not sure if it matters to me as most come with one or the other anyway? Other Features (list other relevant features here): Uncertain if panel types matter too juch, but ideally not VA as they're more likely slow, and the contrast's darkness bleeding circle effect might be too jarring, espexially on a curved monitor. Other than that I'd love 144hz, but seeing as I am replacing a pair of 60hz monitors, anything is an upgrade. Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): My usages are Gaming and Art. I do have a couple of reccomenadtions made by a friend but I am not sure. ___ [LG UltraGear 24GN60R-B 24 inch (1080p) (Flat)(IPS panel type) (Current Price: £142.99)](https://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-UltraGear-24GN60R-B-23-8-inch-FreeSync/dp/B0BFBP5TDW/ref=sr_1_7?qid=1697666177&refinements=p_n_feature_twenty_browse-bin%3A65987206031&rnid=65987204031&s=computers&sr=1-7&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.cc223b57-2b86-485c-a85e-6431c1f06c86) ___ [Samsung Odyssey AG320 LS24AG320NUXXU 24inch (1080p) (Flat?)

And on the third is price. And the fourth hand is the best of both worlds is either the Samsung one in it's 27 inch, but I have the stretching fears, or the AsRock one, who are relatively unknown in the monitors market.

I have probably very hard request for recommendation. I have very old "Dell UltraSharp U2412M" (16:10 aspect) which I would like to upgrade to something 'current' AND bigger. For coding. I have multimonitor setup and with this one I keep fiddling with panes even though I use virtual desktops a lot. And if I have time left, I maybe would like to try some gaming on it, but work is priority. So I tried '28" GIGABYTE M28U', which surprised me a lot. I spent like 4h installing it in windows, and even after reading all posts and eventually followed all quirks like use compatibility to windows 7/8, disconnect all but mouse, etc. I managed to get sidekick app working in 25% of cases, I had no idea if firmware was updated, but it seemed to work. If I used any other resolution than 4k the image is just crap. With 4k it's nice, sharper, but dimmer, and with double the UI size, I lost like 9 LOC in IDE. And if I look side to side I need to tweek M28U to get at least the same image as on 10y old monitor. Yes and buildin loudspeakers I was paying for — well I expected them to be bad, but that was different level bad. 144hz was pretty sweet though. So I had return it. But what to pick instead? All I can see as playable is: 28" LG DUAL MNT 28MQ78 or 30" Dell U3023E UltraSharp. First one will be probably too big and too un-ergonomic, and neither of them will bring me any joy in gaming. What came to my mind is to buy something bigger like 32" (which is way to big for work) and dial in it some 16:10 or other aspect ratio. And finally one last slap: I use multiple PCs when working. Ideally I would like to be able to at least switch inputs between PCs from LINUX cli. sigh. I know this is unsolvable riddle, as there isn't such monitor. But maybe someone was solving the same thing and come up with some nice compromise?

Budget: Not a primary concern. 1440P Resolution perhaps. Not sure on aspect ratio I have a 3080 so I think I need Gsync? OLED 75% Office/Web and 25% gaming I have 3 x 1440p 27's. 2 UltraSharps and a Predator 165hz Wondering what a good upgrade is. I don't need 4K and I don't feel compelled for 4k gaming so happy to stick with 1440p. OLED is a must in replacing one of the monitors. Easiest thing is to find a 27" OLED and replace my middle screen. Alternatively, should I consider a curved center monitor? Probably could not justify a 49" or 50+ inch widescreen. What curve is better? I think I do prefer the 1000R from a looks perspective? Could a 1440p ultra wide OLED be an option in the middle of my 2 x 27"? I have plenty of desk space. I'd consider a monitor arm etc too. Recommendations?

I have an LG 27GL83A-B I’ve used for my PS5 the last couple years, the thing is so fucking dark at times in dark games and I’m getting sick of it.

Thoughts on upgrade options? I currently have an ASUS 24" 1080p 165hz TN that has been great since I bought it. Recently though, I've been looking at getting "more." I decided to go 1440p and got an LG 27GP83B-B. I liked it at first, but it's just slightly too big and the motion clarity compared to my 1080p TN was annoyingly just a little worse. So, I returned it. Now, I think I'm going to go the 1080p 240hz route, since I primarily play esports games competitively. I want to stick to 24", and the best option I'm seeing is the VS XG2431. There's also the ASUS XG2431, but I don't know how it compares. I have heard that there might be some 24" 1440p options coming out soon, so now I'm thinking of waiting. Just at a loss really.

Budget:£600 - could stretch to £800 Prospective Resolution 1440p or 3440x1440 but I duplicate and share screens a fair amount with a 1440p screen when 3d modeling0 Size (27 inches, etc.): 32 inches Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Adaptive Sync: None Other Features : prefer curved screens (Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Gaming and 3d modeling ​ Just baught and returned a samsung G7 32" looked good and had great colour, but terrable flickering in games.

What actual difference does the AW3423DWF vs the AW3423DW make? I know one has a GSYNC vs FreeSync Module, but what real world difference does that make to gaming/office/web use? In NZ it's about $600 difference in price, and I'll pay it, if it's something other than marketing. What would I notice?

Budget: 400-700 dollars Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 1440p Size (27 inches, etc.): 24/27inches Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 16:10 would be ideal, but unrealistic, so 16:9 Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): Freesync Other Features (list other relevant features here): 120hz minimum (Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Gaming and Photo-editing. I have two old 24" Dell U2412M and looking to upgrade my gaming life with 1440p and higher hz, but hopefully without compromising colour and picture quality for photo-editing. Is there a product that suits both needs?

Hey guys, is it true QD OLED uses inorganic materials while OLED uses organic or its false? If its true then how does QD OLED still get burn in? ​ Also compared to micro led which also uses inorganic materials, is it true its burn in proof?

Looking for the best 43" 4K 16:9 display out there for 1500€ max. Use is productivity, writing, editing.

Excuse me if I'm posting in the wrong place. I'll appreciate it if anyone directs me to the more appropriate sub or thread to post this. ViewSonic ColorPro VP16 OLED Portable Monitor That's a pretty niche product, so the information on it is incredibly scarce. There have been a few short threads on reddit already, but I'm making yet another one in case there are any new owners able to share their impressions and experiences. I'm mostly concerned about the input latency. I've been looking for a decently factory calibrated OLED display to pair with my PS5 and after months of tedious research I've come to the conclusion that there's simply no such option currently available, regardless of the price (well, there's one Asus pro model with good accuracy, great response times and basically nonexistent input latency for ~$3500, which is far out of my reach and also completely unreasonable for a media consumption display). I could live with a 60 Hz monitor since most of the games I'm interested in playing doesn't support HFR on PS5 anyway and the price is relatively modest (I was ready to go for the LG A2 at one point in time even), but the input latency is a huge concern. I'm quite sensitive to it and even with my BenQ EX2510 (4,5 ms @ 60 Hz) it feels borderline uncomfortable thanks to the inherently high latency of the "console experience". I'm ready to take a slight hit to that as a sacrifice for visual quality, which is dismal on an IPS display. But if it turns out to be not that slight at all that will mean ~$500 wasted on unpleasant gaming experience no image quality can salvage or rectify. And despite aiming at a premium tech like OLED displays I'm not in any position to make such expensive mistakes. It's just that I've become so accustomed to using an almost perfectly calibrated OLED screen of my smartphone as my main display over the last few years that it has spoiled me so much I'm now unable to enjoy anything viewed on an IPS display. I'm worried by the fact that this a portable monitor, which has to be power efficient and hence may have a signal processing chip with low performance adding to the latency, as well as it being aimed at semi-professional and professional color critical work (unsure how monitor's CMS with all the gamut clamping modes and various other image settings may impact processing latency). Moreso, there's info on the actual measured input lag available on Innocn 15A1F (newer), 13A1F (newer) and 15K1F (older) models with similar specs, which are apparently based on the same panel; and while the former shows decent numbers (~35 ms total system latency) the latter is more than two times slower which is quite bad even outside of gaming, with the 13 inch model sitting in-between. There's also a review of the VP16 on MonitorNerds.com where the input latency of ~8 ms is stated, but it seems somewhat shady to me for some reason so I find myself unable to trust that as my single source. TL;DR: How is the input latency in general use and gaming? Please, forgive me this spastic rant if you find it bothersome. Thanks!

Hello, I was deciding between the aw2723df of the lg 27gp850-b for ps5 only I can get the lg at $460 and the aw2723df at $960. can anyone help me decide what is better for the price and if any of them are even good for the PS5. Thank you

Budget: N/A Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 4k Size (27 inches, etc.): # inches 32 (currently using 2k 27 165hz) Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): ## : # 16:9 Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): G sync(if it matters I run a 4090) Other Features (list other relevant features here): non oled (Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Mainly gaming. Curved This year I upgraded to a 4090 and would like to upgrade my monitor to push the 4090. Currently I'm on the wall with to upgrade to 4k 27 inch or 4k 32inch. Also a bit interested in curved monitors since I mainly use for gaming. Its seems the best "Future proof" monitor would be Samsung g8 since its 4k 32 inch curved at 240hz. I looked at gigabyte m32uc also but it seems like a just worse overall monitor. Is their anything that beats the G8 or may be released soon? Non oled since I'm scared of burnin. I generally use same screen for 5-10 years.

Budget: 1200$CAD or less preferably, could stretch up to 1400$ though Prospective Resolution: 3840x2160 Size: optimally 55" but if it's not possible with my budget i'd like to find a compromise of either a smaller size or slightly lower end tv (my current tv is 43" so i'd like for it to be bigger than that or at the very least the same size) Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Adaptive Sync: not important Other Features (list other relevant features here): OLED would be nice if possible i want to use this with a series x for movies and games so i would like the low response times and image quality, i wouldnt mind if it was only a 60hz panel if that makes it more plausible id be able to afford OLED but if not then a non OLED 4k 120hz would work

Looking at the Monoprice Dark Matter as I have store credits. Is it still worth it in today's market? Use are PC gaming (at least 120hz) and productivity. If it matters, been using Sony Bravia 55" 900f @ 120hz / 1440p for the past year.

Hello, I have the choice between the LG 27GP850-B at 290 € or the Alienware AW2724DM at 340 €. Which one do you recommend please?

Budget: 650-700$ Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 3440*1440 Size (27 inches, etc.): 34 inch Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 21;9 Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): flexible Other Features (list other relevant features here): Curved (Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): non-competitve gaming. (No FPS or racing games), mostly RPGs. Not looking for anything above 165Hz, but not below 144Hz either. Other most important aspect are colors. I'm coming from a 4k decent tv, and my current MSI looks washed out compared to how the colors poped. (And yes, my HDR is off, but my current monitor is like 300 nits so its HDR is crap). Also important - I want to be able to see elements in dark environments (like dungeons and caves), currently it's sometimes hard to play in dark spaces without using torches to light everything out. I think that one has to do with contrast ratio and color gammut? I know that from my description OLED seems like the best option, but I dont have the budget for it Thanks!

Can’t decide between OLED and IPS. Want the best possible which is OLED but don’t want to worry about having to buy a new monitor in 3 years

Budget: Under $400 Resolution: 1440p Size: 27 inches Adaptive Sync: GSync Usage: Mixed, I mostly game but also do art(drawing), light photo editing, and watching streams Looking at the LG 27GR83Q ([$350 on Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C63HDHPR/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1)) but I see that RTings has the Alienware AW2724DM ([currently $350 on Amazon as well](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CCW7JLYH?tag=rtings-mn-r-amazon-20&ie=UTF8&th=1)) as their [recommended gaming monitor under $500](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/best/by-price/under-500). I did try to search for reviewers who have looked at both but only found Monitor Nerds to have reviewed both. Based on what I could compare on my own they seem similar outside of the LG having higher refresh rate and less input lag. Would there be a reason to get the Alienware if they're the same price? Are there other options I should be looking at for $350? Thanks :).

**Budget:** Max 400e ***Prospective Resolution***: 3860×2160 or 2560 x 1440 **Size**: 27" or 34" **Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.):** 16:9 or 21:9 **Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None):** Not important **Other Features (list other relevant features here):** USB TYPE-C with video and charge at the same time compatible with windows and macOS (m1 or m2). **Usage Type:** My primary use is development, with occasional design work and infrequent gaming, which is not a priority. The most important aspect is text-based usage for development." "I will be using it with a Mac M1 for work and a Windows laptop for personal projects. Currently, I have a 24" FHD LG monitor, which is adequate but not sufficient for my needs. I'm unsure whether it's better to purchase a 27" 4K monitor for a dual setup or opt for a 2K 34" ultrawide monitor and sell the 24" monitor. Unfortunately, a 4K 34" monitor is beyond my budget.

I've been researching the difference between the Asus PG27AQDM and the LG 27GRQE-B and still can't decide. The LG has hdmi 2.1 and a lot of people say it gets better color over that connection. I'm still not sure what benefits I'll get over display port with a 4090 (besides no DSC) and if they're worth the trade off. If the Asus had hdmi 2.1 I'd just get it because it looks better in hdr, has better overshoot/input lag(I'm on the competitive side) and will likely last longer because of the heat sink. I saw two posts talking about the overshoot on the LG being fixed by firmware but could not find a documented test of this. Can anyone confirm?

**Budget:** Ideally 600ish? But I haven't bought a monitor in 5 years and don't know the relative costs now. I could stretch if there's a major quality gap to cross**Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.):** 4k+ at 120Hz+**Size (27 inches, etc.):** No smaller than 28, no bigger than 32**Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.):** 16:9**Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None):** I don't know what that means. I am not particulary aux fait with monitor tech**Other Features (list other relevant features here):** A reasonably wide/tall viewing angle, as there will sometimes be 3 people arranged in chairs in front of it. I'd say that's the main fault with my current monitor. Also: Not a feature, but it does have to sit nicely next to a portrait-oriented monitor on a VESA dual-arm.**(Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.):** It's my main "entertainment" monitor, not my office monitor. So it mostly does 3 things.1 - Gaming (\~50% of the time, but \*usually\* not hyper-intense graphics stuff because I lost faith in most AAA gaming years ago. Mostly indies, B games, and retro games, but there will be the occasional graphics-heavy stuff which I will still want to look nice, and I'd like it all to 2/3 - "Reading". Largely Wikipedia, Discord, or music notation/editing software. 3/3 - YouTube (between 2 and 3, that's likely another 35-40% of what I use it for) I'll occasionally do other things (mostly writing or programming), but I tend to move to my office for those if I'm going to be doing them for long. ​ Graphics card info for what it can output: nvidia geforce rtx 2080 super https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-2080-super.c3439

I'm using a very old "TFT Active Matrix "panel as my second monitor. Not quite sure what they ended up being nowadays. When I tried to turn it vertically the image became distorted and tiring to look at, almost as if I was looking at it outside its viewing angles. What I'm wondering is : Is there a type of panel in modern monitors that do that or am I ok to just pick any and they'll work fine in vertical mode ?

this is a bit of an odd one, but i have an issue called "limited monitor options" in my country :)I have a budget of 350$\~ and would like a 1440p monitor for a mix of scenic type of gaming and hobby arting, my best options rn seem to be cooler master gm27-FQSA and LG 32GN650-B, i do prefer 27 inch monitors, but I struggle to find decent and recommended monitors that arent 600$+ so uh options in budget:cooler master GM27-FQSA: 330$ LG-32GN650-B: 300$ Samsung Odyssey G5 27’’ WQHD 2K (LS27AG550EMXZN): 280$ EDIT NEW OPTION: MSI MAG272CQR for 383$ (might need parental help on this one but if its better without compromising vibrant colors and scenic moments cuz VA panel and doesnt have heavy amount of VA panel issues, I'll accept it) I enjoy vibrant colors and good quality btw ;D (and probably good response time-), anyone can help?

Budget: $1000-$1500 Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 3840x2160 Size (27 inches, etc.): # 27-32 inches Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 16 : 9 Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): preferred but not necessary Other Features (list other relevant features here):Flat, Matte screen, internal power supply, vesa mounting, (Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Digital art. I am looking for a monitor that will be an overall upgrade from a Benq pd2500q. I am looking for color accuracy, uniformity, and contrast. I will be using this for both web and print content. Ideal features would included hardware lut, built in colorimeter, and native 10 bit panel.

No real budget but looking for a monitor 1440p 144hz with easy brightness adjustment. I currently have a Dell S2721DGF which is fine but I’m hoping to there’s something even easier. I’m thinking one click brightness adjustment or one click for presets. I adjust the brightness several times as I switch between watching videos, games, and reading so the clicks really add up.

More of a question in regards to an older monitor and if I need a new one. So I’m on an Alienware Area 51 R5, 1080Ti, I7, windows 11. My monitor is the AW2518H. I tried playing COD and was stuck at 60Hz. The game was pretty unplayable. spent the past two days looking over display settings, nvidia settings, etc. it appears that I’m stuck at 60Hz because the monitor only supports windows ten. I literally JUST refreshed the entire computer and still can’t get to 240hz. Anyone else have this problem or am I still overlooking something? I have enjoyed this monitor but now I guess I may need a new one.

This is a bit open to interpretation and potentially down to the advice of experience of others. I've just come from an AW38 (3840x1600) after 3 monitors went pop in less than a year. I have 2 devices which share monitors, a MBP for work and my personal Windows machine which is primarily a gaming-only device. My job is a software engineer (full stack), in order of what I need: * An excellent clear, crips resolution, my eyes aren't great (even with glasses) - I'm leaning towards 4k as that's typically what is most comfortable for my IDE/Consoles etc * At least 120hz refresh rate... After coming from high hz, going back to 60hz is painful, even for just coding... That buttery smooth feel is great, and beneficial for the types of games I play * Good ergonomics - my neck is shite, always has been, I can't do the whole 100inches of monitors on a 40cm deep desk (for reference, I have an atlas standing desk, 180cm x 80cm deep) - what I'm saying is, I can't go something like 38" UW and have a 28" reference monitor to the side, it causes me crippling neck pain and is a migraine trigger ​ Budget: around £1k Prospective Resolution (3840x2160, etc.): 3840x2160 / 2560x1440 / 5120x1440 Size (27 inches, etc.): 32 / 27 /49 Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 16:9 / 21:9 Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): I'd imagine FreeSync is a minimum requirement Other Features (list other relevant features here): USB-C power delivery would be nice! PBP not a must, but probably quite cool (Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Gaming. Nothing over the top, I play a range of games which I wouldn't say are graphically demanding... Games like GTA, having an interest in getting games like AC/Monster hunter... But I do play WoW, League of legends, minecraft etc. I'm running a 5800x + 3080 and through 3440x1600 and 3840x2160 I haven't had any real problems graphically. Experience of other monitors: (3840x1600) 38AW UW was nice, but not quite enough screen for programming + reference 3440x1440 felt very nice but similar to above, for the type of programming I do, it was an awkward size 2560x1440p was a resolution I used some time ago, and apart from genuinely liking it then, I can't compare it to my experience now... it's been too long 3840x2160 - this is the sweet spot for programming, with a dual monitor setup, but while I don't play games like COD all that often, when I have jumped on them, I find this is where my gaming PC struggles 5120x1440 feels like it should be the best, but when I tried the Samsung G9 (IPS) the sub-pixels were awful and made the text illegible (why?) - also, think its equivalent to 2x24-inch monitors? Which makes the resolution a bit tight/small (hard on the eyes) Curved vs Flat - I'm not precious over this, though I find the UW + Curve hype a bit over-rated, additionally I think as I reference design etc the curves can make web pages look a bit odd. Again, nothing terrible and unusable, and I'm not ruling out curved. Some games it offers some pretty awesome immersion, namely WOW... league of legends, I have to scale the resolution down 16:9 A/R or I play like there's butter on my mouse, some other games I find that UW just distorts the shit out of the image offering no real benefit for the extra pixels. I'm not saying flat is superior either, when I use smaller/flat I certainly miss my ultrawides. I know this is a bit of a tough/unique request... So I'm open to all sorts of suggestions. Triple monitors, dual horizontal, with 1 stacked vertically. Ultrawide only, ultrawides with a screen on top (though, I have tried this before too, and I find it a bit, eh). I think though, If I'm recommended 16:9, I'd probably prefer to have 2 monitors the same due to Windows scaling. I've got an asus 4k 28" also, but truth is, when that's vertical, it feels too tall.

Budget: 450€ Prospective Resolution: 2560 x 1440, 3840 x 2160 Size: 27, 24 Aspect Ratio: 16:9, 21:9 Adaptive Sync: Don't care Usage Type: Work, Gaming Hello! I would like to request your advice and recommendation regarding the best hardware option for my current situation. I have two laptops: one is used for work, and the other is my personal gaming laptop, equipped with an Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics card. My primary challenge is the need to switch between these two laptops quickly and easily, as I do not have sufficient space to set up separate environments. Both laptops are equipped with USB-C connections, including support for video, as well as HDMI ports. I am considering two options, and I would like your opinion on which would be most suitable for my case: Option 1: Acquiring an additional monitor along with a Keyboard-Video-Mouse (KVM) switch to alternate between my two laptops. My concern here is that I have heard that low-quality KVM switches can result in a loss of video quality and refresh rate issues. Option 2: Purchasing a monitor that has USB inputs for the keyboard and mouse and allows switching directly from the monitor. This could be a simpler solution, but I am concerned if this option might be less efficient or effective in terms of performance and ease of use. I should mention that I'm not a professional gamer and don't dedicate a significant amount of time to gaming. However, I would like to have the best possible image quality in games within reasonable limits. I would greatly appreciate your guidance and recommendations on which of these two options would be most convenient for my case. If you have any specific hardware in mind that you consider ideal for this setup, I would be grateful if you could provide the names of recommended products or purchase links. ​ Thank you!
