Whale Cancer posted:27 1080 is fine. Trying to stay cheap right now. Lenovo sells a 27" 1440p IPS display for ~$200, typically. https://www3.lenovo.com/us/en/accessories-and-monitors/monitors/home/L27q-20-27-QHD-MonitorHDMI%2BDP/p/65D4GCC1US It's $239 now, but they have had a coupon bring it down to $199 in the past.

Personally I want the gaming monitor market to go towards ever higher refresh rates at 1440p but I guess 4k is happening instead 4k TVs on the other hand look pretty fire

OLED will probably never happen with monitors. Burn in is a really serious thing. Even the OLED 'monitors' Dell and Asus have put out in limited numbers have a ton of gimicky anti-burn in features like the monitor auto turning off when you leave the desk via some built in motion sensor. By the time OLED burn-in would become a non-issue due to tech changes and millions of customer complaints, MicroLED will already be out which is apparently the new holy grail of displays way beyond OLED. So, basically the same reason there never was a push for plasma monitors. Besides, some of the panels samsung has been making GBS threads out in the TV market already match or just slightly surpass LG OLEDs in terms of color output and or only deficient in terms of black levels.

I've got 4 27" 1440p Dell monitors and I don't really see a clear upgrade path. 1440p at 27" is a sweet spot of clarity vs not having to use scaling, and I don't really see what 4k offers without pushing the size up quite a bit. And at that point, the side monitors etc start going out the window, removing utility (for what I do, anyways). Choices, choices. Thankfully I have a new money pit (track day car), so the monitor upgrades can wait

Also, people just *accept* one year warranties now on televisions. Good luck selling a new-in-box monitor with only a year's warranty. Probably the best bet buying an OLED is to apply for a Citi card and buy it from Costco - a one year extended warranty from the Citi card through SquareTrade, and another optional five from a Costco-bought SquareTrade extended warranty for seven years total.

And at that point, the side monitors etc start going out the window, removing utility (for what I do, anyways). Yeah, same here though I ended up getting the 120Hz X34P because I wanted to consolidate down from having a 27" 144Hz monitor for games and a 34" 60Hz monitor for work. I guess things like HDR and better color depth/contrast could be improvements but going to whatever the ultrawide equivalent of 4K would be seems like it would have diminishing returns on top of being a lot harder to drive than 1440p. I'll still be curious to see how the 200Hz VA-panel ultrawide Acer X35/ASUS PG35VQ monitors turn out if they ever make it to market but for now I'm glad I decided to just get the X34P instead of waiting for one of those. There doesn't seem to be much else on the horizon that would be a potential upgrade, given the current rate that new monitors are coming out and how often they're being delayed.

Despite it being 2018, Microsoft keeps trying to basically ignore high-dpi monitors that aren't a Surface. Most of us would rather high-hz than high-dpi because of said issues, and that 27"@1440p is "crisp enough," while there's still some headroom to be had by pushing Hz up to like 240 or so. Or bringing prices down on the current 120/144/165 offerings, which honestly are already "fast enough" for almost everyone.

It'll be a while before they break under $200... you can't even get a 27" 1440p IPS for less than $250, but the price delta between 1440p and 4K is almost gone.

Is the p2715q IPS? I thought it was TN since they don’t mention it being IPS anywhere prominent, so I was looking at the ultrasharps instead. Looking at it, it’s 99% srgb like my current ips ultrasharp so I guess it is ips. That’s good to know; this thing is still going strong and works perfectly well tho so I’ll prob leave it a couple more years

Dell put out a U2718Q recently and it's rear end in comparison, like 75% sRGB, most of the LGs and other <$300 4K monitors are in the same ~75% ballpark. (it's right on their store page though...

Going from my X34 1080ti desktop to my 13” 1080p laptop with an egpu on THunderbolt 3 but 2x only is night and day in PUBG. People in this thread naysaying high end gaming displays are 100% wrong and are probably arguing as such to make themselves feel better about their pitiful set ups. Basically everyone in the goon PUBG discord who’s any good has a good display too.

I found I had less 'hiccups' where I'd be like "did I just see a dude oh I just got shot in the head". I have old man reflexes so yeah definitely not a case of my twitch reaction time being any good.

I've been out of the monitor space for a while, and I'm looking to consolidate and move to a smaller desk and use my laptop as a second monitor if I must. Current setup is two Dell U2412Ms that I bought 6 years ago, so if I'm going to replace them, I'd like to go a slightly bigger single monitor; however, it looks like the market has changed a bit... Requirements: - 27"+ - IPS - Good color accuracy - Decent enough stand out of the box It looks like Dell's most recent line-up of Ultrasharps (UP3017, UP3016Q, UP2716D, etc) are kind of all over the map, but it looks like the 2716D might be the one I'm most interested in. Giving up 16:10 is gonna be sad.

Imagine you see things more clearly, because you have more pixels. You can identify them more quickly because you have a higher refresh rate. Imagine that. I know this goes against your CS:GO "but even the pros play in 720" group think mentality, but really, it helps. Of course, you need the GPU to drive it, too.
