Anyone using a U2715H with a 970? Is this an okay combo? Or one of these http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009C3M7H0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=23JFVWCLTB6C6&coliid=I1GOOMVE7NH1BU Optiquest fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Oct 11, 2015 |

PG279Q pricing and availability are out. £700 for UK goons, haven't see US pricing. No HDMI 2.0, but you have to use DP to get G-Sync, so meh.

I'm pretty torn between what I think will be a better monitor for me, a PG279Q or a Acer Z35, as someone who has a 980 Ti and refuses to go dual video card and only cares about gaming. Of course, neither are out yet and prices are still up in the air, so I'll keep waiting.

Recently bought a BenQ BL3200PT monitor and am quite happy with it. I'm currently trying to hook a Macbook pro to it, while simultaneously having my main PC hooked up to the HDMI port, which means I have to use either the Displayport port or the DVI port on the monitor The problem I am seeing is that: A) The displayport option doesn't work, at ALL. No signal is detected with the cable I bought (HDMI on the Macbook to Displayport on the monitor.) B) If I use a thunderbolt to DVI adapter and connect a DVI cable to the DVI port on the monitor, I can only output video at 1920x1200 resolution (and can't change it to anything higher on the Macbook). The same is true if I output from HDMI to DVI and connect to the monitors DVI port. Is it me, or does this seem to be something with the Macbook and not the monitor itself?

You need to use a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable

The longest trial is with the middle UFO. I actually noticed the ghosting while playing a game, which led me to testing it out; it's not a case of me looking for issues which can sometimes be the case with new tech. I know it has ULMB with G-Sync turned off, but I'm not sure what's for the best. I even notice the ghosting when scrolling past images on websites. Zorilla posted:Doesn't that monitor have an adjustment for pixel overdrive you can reduce? Or do you mean that those animations are leaving a longer, dark trail behind it? Thank you! It was on extreme. Turning it down to normal pretty much eliminated the ghosting! Extreme  Normal  Gonna try running it at 120hz with ULMB on/ GSYNC off for a bit and see how it fares. midge fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Oct 13, 2015 |

The extreme pixel overdrive setting is actually giving you anti-ghosting from pixel overshoot

I know this isn't a monitor but it is related.. What are everyone's opinion on the Ergotech-Triple-Stand-Telescopic stand? http://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Trip...ASIN=B007BD0MPM I have 3 dell 24' monitors that are currently just on their factory stands. I think it's too expensive for what it is but I do like that I would get deskspace back, it would look better, and it's not one of those clamping mounts. With my current desk a clamping mount wouldn't work at all. There doesn't seem to be much other competition other there that have adjustable arms. Anyone know of any other models that I should take a look at?

Hahahah 3440 x 1440 is a great format for gaming (and productivity too, I guess). But it ain't 4K.

That Acer price makes things worse in the Asus camp because you just know they're going to price the PG348Q like $200 higher.

Ditto for the 4K versions of each (though the Acer is 75Hz). Asus is obviously threatened enough by the Acer monitors to skip adding on the Asus Tax™

Wait, then you have a bezel in the middle going the other way, that's no good. Ok, so clearly the only way to go is 3x3, anyone got a 9x vesa mount for sale? It'll need to be cheap after spending $6,300 on the monitors but I can pay you $450 in gift cards in about three months!

So my current monitor from 2008 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014158) monitor is starting to go bad (I can see streaks when it displays blacks) and I need to replace it. I play a lot of games and I code on it. I like 1920 x 1200 because I can buy a 970 in a few months and run everything I want, and it's got more vertical space than 1080p, so that's preferred unless someone has a fantastic argument for something else. I'd love to have a 25 or 26 inch monitor, but it doesn't seem like anyone makes anything over 24" for 1920 x * resolutions. As I mentioned, I play a lot of games, anything from strategy games to FPSes, so no ghosting and low input lag would be ideal. That said, I was perfectly happy with my current monitor, so I don't even know how sensitive I am to those things? I was looking at this monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236331 Is this a good choice? Does anyone have viable alternatives? I know it's not sexy like all your 144Hz G-Sync stuff but I'm not really in a "spend $700 on a monitor" kind of place.

It has ghosting but I can only notice it if I look at one of the ghosting tests you can find online, never in games. Here's a review of it if you want to read it.

Although they're sort of universally disliked in their thread for the relatively low ppi, there are a bunch of 27" 1080p monitors out there. Just thought I'd mention that since it's sort of exactly what you're asking for.

I may be thinking about getting a new monitor next week - I'll have perhaps £150 to spend, could probably convince myself to go up to £175 for something that's obviously really good. My current monitor is a BenQ FP202W which has served me well, and having never used or even looked at anything that could be considered modern or high end, I can't really find much fault with it. All I do is browse the web, watch some movies and television and play one game (which is a Football Management game, so no OMG Exxxtreme graphics or anything like that). I don't have a discrete GPU at the moment, so this will be driven by the HD4400 integrated GPU on my i3-4170 CPU. I might buy a graphics card in the future, but the level of card I have been looking at is in the 750Ti / 270X range, so nothing fancy. I would like something a bit bigger, perhaps in the 22-24-inch range, IPS obviously and 1080p is fine. I've seen a few monitors that might fit the bill, but is there a go to for these sort of requirements?

There are a lot of monitors that might fit, but this looked like a good deal. Good panel, fully adjustable stand, built in USB hub, Dell is a quality brand so no worries there. The only real downside is no HDMI, just DisplayPort, DVI and VGA. If you need HDMI there is this one but it's a worse deal over all, only a basic stand with tilt, no VESA compatibility and more expensive.

I'm starting to get the impression that the reason I can't find an XR3501 anywhere is that the Z35 Predator due out in December uses the exact same goddamn panel and Acer just straight-up bought the factory line out from under BenQ. Am I right? Should I be pissed?

Wasn't sure whether to put this in the system building thread or here, but it's largely monitor-based, so here goes: I'm building a new PC for work and gaming (games of note on my radar are Witcher 3, Cities Skylines and the recent Total War titles). I prefer the 16:10 ratio, and currently use a 1920x1200 screen (Dell U2410), but I thought it might be nice for both the aforementioned purposes to go up to 2560x1600. However, my concern is the extra horsepower draw. Question 1. From a gaming point of view, is the resolution jump worth the extra resource drain? Am I better off staying with my current resolution and enjoying better framerates and max settings for longer, or should I take the jump up? Bear in mind I can make the system pretty beefy if I want; I am looking at a new Skylake i7 with a GTX 980, maybe a Ti or Titan... maybe even two cards in SLI if advised to do so for smoother 2560×1600. Question 2. I believe there were supposed to be some IPS screens coming out this year with decent response times. Any such monitors with native 2560×1600 to be aware of? Thanks guys. I need to resolve this soon, as my current machine is on its last legs and threatening to die any moment. OneSizeFitsAll fucked around with this message at 11:55 on Oct 17, 2015 |
