Just bought a 2795qhd from green-sum, fingers crossed it looks good. Worst case I'll just use it as my secondary monitor next to my 144hz 1080p. Although that will probably look weird.

I bought one a week ago with no dead pixels and runs great at 96 and 110hz. It's sitting next to my old 1080p 60 hz monitor that I generally use only for Internet browsing while playing games. The only downside was removing the glass stem stand was a pain.

Zorilla posted:16:9 stops being an issue at 1440p. It's not about aspect ratio and really more about the fact 1080p is so cramped and you need at least 1200 pixels vertically to get real work done. I disagree. At 2160p or more, yes, sure. But until 1600p, not at all.

Really tempted to step up to a 60+ refresh rate hz monitor. I was thinking about buying that korean monitor that overclocks to 96hz for $300. I already have a Dell U2715H at 1440p, is there a big upgrade going from 60hz to 96hz? The U2715H is pretty clear as it is but the refresh rate isn't as smooth as my friends 1080p 144hz TN monitor

I went from a Dell 27" 60Hz to that current Korean flavour of the month and it was a revelation for me. I sure as hell noticed the jump from 60Hz to 96Hz - and so does every title that can sustain that framerate - and I enjoy the improved smoothness of the desktop for long coding sessions. I didn't really notice as much of a 'wow' from 96Hz to 110Hz, and in my brief foray to 120Hz (which in all honesty it doesn't do well) I didn't notice much at all. Other than 'what the hell is all this crap on my screen oh god im not good with comput' That said this is a highly subjective thing - massively so - and I have old knackered eyes. I have the distinct feeling a 144Hz turbo ubergaming monitor would be thoroughly wasted on me, so take my impression with a large pinch of salt. What I do know is: - I love 96Hz for everything. - The picture is great, the panel is great (I don't know if this is luck or not, but general impressions are positive). - The stand is absolute loving garbage and if you ever have need to adjust your stand for heavens' sake get rid of it and get an arm. - I'm finding brightness controls without having to navigate through multiple menus to be super handy to adjust to ambient light, so couldn't give a toss that this is the only function it has. - If this thing ever breaks I'm screwed for getting it fixed, so I'll get whatever the new one is.

Dunno if this is the right spot to ask but I figure it's worth a shot. I'm looking for something in the 27"-32" range, preferably under $400 dollars. I'm not a pc player so trying to do research on this has been problematic to say the least. I primarily play shooters and rpgs on ps4 and wiiu so was looking for a monitor to replace this poo poo crosley tv I bought. Any recommendations or brands I should check out?

Are you just looking for something to hook consoles up to or do you also plan to plug a computer into it? If you're just looking for something for console use then a 1080p TV would probably be your best bet, you can get a 32" VIZIO for $230. If you want something to also hook a computer up to then this Dell is a good choice.

That dell does look nice but I can't figure out how many hdmi ports it has on it. Looking for something with at least two if you'd know of any.

I was wondering if it's possible to find the following for less than $600: *IPS *1440p *Refresh rate over 60hz *Optionally, but would like it: Gsync Seems like my only options are $750 TN panels or $1,000+ IPS panels, I was hoping there may be some alternatives that Newegg doesn't have or that I'm missing.

And a regular XB270HU goes for ~$775, so not sure where you'd getting $1k from.

One of those Korean monitors? No thanks. Guess I'll be sticking to 1080p 60hz longer than I thought as I can't bring myself to go back to a TN display. Maybe the prices will drop once those 10-bit color monitors supposedly go mainstream this year.

It's TN but it's a very nice TN. Or, get a 24" 1080p panel. You can get a GN246HL or QX2414 for like $140-170, but you're giving up both 1440p and IPS there. The QX2414 can go even faster than 144hz, reportedly, like 170+ (but I don't own one).

Swartz posted:One of those Korean monitors? No thanks. 10b will be (as it has been) rather expensive. Don't expect it to have much of an impact on the 60+Hz market, because they'll either be independent (60Hz + 10b or 144Hz + 8b but not both), or they'll be silly expensive for awhile. Your real hope is that someone other than AO figures out how to make the damned panels so there can be some actual competition. Until then though...

My computer is fairly close to my television and I'm constantly having to swap HDMI cables on the GPU. I'd like to get a splitter of some sort so I can just press a button to switch between displays, but I can only find pigtail splitters that would output the video to both displays at the same time. I just need to display audio/video to one device at a time, since the TV isn't being used as an extended desktop. I'm also trying to minimize any latency (bought the Sony KDL55W950B specifically for its low latency for an HDTV) and I'm afraid adding something like that might be counter-intuitive. Any suggestions?

A lot of them only go from multiple inputs to a single output so you want a bidirectional one like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sewell-Direct-Ibis-Bi-Directional-Passthrough/dp/B00629NHW6/ I honestly have no idea about any extra latency but I doubt there'd be much if any.

You can also go a step further and look into a HDMI Matrix, which is effectively the next step from that. Decent ones can get a little pricey but I can't tell if they add any lag to the chain. I had a Gefen Toolbox that I got for free from a client that I used for a long time. Looks like they are running for around $150 on Ebay now.

Dunno if this is the place to ask but since this is a monitor thread, I'll give it a shot. A 1600x900 LCD monitor I've had for a little over 3 years--and is currently a secondary monitor--has been doing a weird thing where: every time I shake the monitors awake from idle sleep, it won't turn on right away. It'll stay blinking and make a weird, faint *click* sound like a switch going on and off, for about 30 seconds. During that time, pressing the power button for the monitor doesn't do anything. What I've read is that either the monitor is dying or I have a GPU issue. My GPU is a pretty recently purchased GTX970 that hasn't been giving me issues, and while this is happening, my system is still recognizing that monitor is plugged in and (seemingly) functional. When it finally kicks in, I can turn it off and on and it'll click on right away. So before I impulsively buy a new monitor to replace this thing, can anyone tell me what's up?

Morter posted:Dunno if this is the place to ask but since this is a monitor thread, I'll give it a shot. A properly implemented monitor will send EDID information to the computer, even when it's not even plugged into power. Does your computer have integrated graphics you can try out? If you can reproduce the issue on integrated graphics, that would rule out your GTX 970. If you can rule it out, I suspect the power supply board on the monitor could have failing capacitors or MOSFETs based on the way it's failing to turn on and not responding to inputs, but that usually doesn't cause bad behavior 100% of the time since temperature and current draw are factors. If you are able to reliably reproduce the issue in a way that manifests exactly the same way each time by running through the same sequence of events, it could be something wrong with the signal board instead. What is your monitor's model number? If it has known issues leading to failure, you can sometimes find "repair kits" online on sites like eBay that contain capacitors (and sometimes other components) to replace the ones that commonly fail on those boards.

I use my computer and monitor for gaming, browsing, and watching stuff, but my monitor is a hand-me-down low quality TN with atrocious viewing angle. Plus it seems the backlight is bleeding through the edges of the screen, washing out dark colors even when looking straight on. I don't have much money to spend, so is there an IPS or VA monitor around 22-24", LED, and 1080p for under $250-300? I'm fine with refurbished or knock offs if they are worth it.

The only monitors that can overclock at the moment are those that are either specifically noted as doing so/marketed as >60Hz (eg, the X34), or the Korean 1440p panels due to the lack of a scaler and some other interesting part choices that make it possible. Anything you get from Dell, HP, etc., will be incapable of overclocking.
