It's known for having the least chance of backlight bleed of the high refresh IPS panels, and is usually considerably cheaper than its Asus counterpart.

kimcicle posted:So now my 2408 doesn't turn on anymore. I made the mistake of playing on an 144hz monitor and now I think I'm willing to forgo the IPS panel for the buttery smoothness. The Dell one has a TN panel while the Asus has an IPS panel, TN panels have worse color, contrast and very narrow viewing angles. So basically the Asus one will look much nicer. Acer makes a similar one to the Asus called the XB271HU which is cheaper and a better choice overall.

Welp I guess that isn't the discount of the century then. Thanks for the heads up. Does anybody make a 24" IPS 144hz monitor? Or is the market skewing towards 27" screens now?

If you can live without G-sync, the new generation of Korean IPS monitors are 144hz and fairly cheap. They even have Freesync... which you may or may not ever use. But at $450, its worth considering. Or you could check the Acer refurb site for XB271 and XB270HU and save yourself a few bucks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Crossover-2...4YAAOSwnTJW~iye http://acerrecertified.com/27-and-Up http://stores.ebay.com/Acer/Displays-/_i.html?rt=nc&_fsub=2792638010&_sid=1089709410&_sticky=1&_trksid=p4634.m14&_sop=3&_sc=1

I think the BenQ XL2730Z really meets my needs. I wanted a 27" Monitor with 1400 at a good price. Part of me says that TN is unnecessary for me and I should get ips because even though I play competitive games I'm not really particularly great at any of them so I don't think I'd notice the input lag. Any other suggestions before I pull the trigger? I also don't need freesync, it just happens to have it. I have a Nvidia card.

It's better in basically every way than the XL2730Z, if more expensive. They also have a refurb store that goons have been happy with, and can save you a chunk of money.

They also have a refurb store that goons have been happy with, and can save you a chunk of money. It's around a $200 difference. I figured it was a premium for G-Sync, which a lot of people are saying doesn't really matter at 144Hz anyway. No idea if thats true.

As i understand it, screen tearing and input lag will be fixed by fastsync above 60 fps, which will be driver related, while g-sync is meant for <60 fps gaming? So if you have a beefy enough card to pull high fps you might aswell save yourself the extra price tag.
|
# ? Jun 8, 2016 15:22 |

The reports I've read of fastsync in practice suggest that you need an fps multiple of your refresh rate for it not to look bad due to judder; i.e. you would need 120fps or 180fps for 60hz. Maybe even 120 is not enough according to the early reports I've read. There's a thread on blurbusters where people have been experimenting:quote:I got some more testing done today, and in racing games, once the framerate is above 180 FPS it seems to make a huge improvement to latency/responsiveness. It may depend on the game, but it also feels like physics and/or feedback is being polled at a higher rate when the framerate is uncapped in some of them. http://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2857 Could be that it gets better with further driver revisions

I appreciate all of the info. I do see people reporting g sync helps even at 144. I have a 980 too so I should be able to take advantage of some of it. I'm actually less sure about which to get. I guess I'll research a bit more before making a final decision.

34" Ultrawide G-SYNC IPS displays: Acer or ASUS? Any tangible differences? Stand? Curvature? Refresh rate? (ASUS lists 100 Hz, Acer "60 Hx - overclocks to 100 Hz") Not sure I can wait for the X34P, but if any other new ones are coming in the next couple of months, would be good to know.

The Acer has a poop OSD compared to the Asus (corrected in the X34P, but like you don't want to wait 6 months). Otherwise it's just a difference in stand quality and finish. Same panel, features, and probably QA/QC issues.

Durinia posted:Which stand do people think is better? In my opinion the Acer. It doesn't have a swivel (new for the X34P), but the footprint is smaller than the Asus. IMO the Asus overall looks gawky as gently caress and I would have to buy a monitor arm for it. The only gamer bling on the X34 is the badge.

AOC is going to release their own 27" 1440p 165hz IPS monitor soon. I wonder if it's the same sort of poo poo show as with Acer and Asus, or whether it's of a higher quality, since they can cherrypick and ditch the rest to OEMs.

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_archive/35.htm#lg.display_144hzquote:Perhaps the most interesting panel is planned for Q1 production 2017 at the moment. This is a new version of the LM340UW3 panel (revision tbc). This is a 34" curved ultra-wide IPS panel (1900R curvature) with a 3440 x 1440 resolution. It will offer a 144Hz refresh rate as well! Current 34" widescreen displays are making use of a native 60Hz IPS panel from LG.Display, overclocked in some cases to 100Hz maximum where a G-sync module is added to the screen. With the arrival of this 144Hz native panel we assume it will also need to use DisplayPort v1.3 connectivity but this will allow refresh rates to be significantly improved in this sector. With a native support of 144Hz we may also see some screens paired with blur reduction backlights which would be welcome in the 34" space as well. Nothing else staggering from the current listed spec which is updated in our panel parts database.

This is interesting. I wonder if this will end up being the panel shipped with the X34P. It has the same tighter curvature at 1900P, and the X34P is listed as having the 100Hz refresh rate natively (which is a strange refresh that I doubt LG would make a panel at). I can imagine that the X34P is limited to 100Hz only due to the limitations of DP1.2 (which is currently the supported connection on the current GSync models). Would be especially cool if they end up releasing the X34P with 100Hz for older cards and 144Hz for the 10x0 and 4x0 series.

I am looking for a monitor with a low DPI. We have an older lady in our company with pretty bad eyes who needs to use a lovely Java line-of-business application that doesn't support DPI scaling at all on our lovely Citrix Terminal Server that doesn't support DPI scaling at all. So far the "best" monitor I've found is the Samsung S27E650 one which is 27" at 1920x1080, for a 81 DPI resolution but I'm wondering if there's something even lower still out there. Ideally the monitor should be between 22" and 30" and have a DPI of 70ish. Does anyone know a screen like that?

Some competitive games like Overwatch make a conscious decision to not support it because they consider it cheating, while many other games need lots of fiddling in ini files to get them to run. But if it does work it's crazy how much it improves immersion.

Got my XB271HU yesterday. Can't see any dust, back light bleed (although I'm not going looking for back light bleed) or dead pixels. The only thing is that either the power cable or the DP cable is a bit loose and when I move the screen or bump my desk it goes dark for a second. The cables are in there as tight as they can be though.
