So after I bought my AW3418DW last December, my previous Acer XB271HU that I'd bought from the Costco sale earlier in the year for $499 and used lighly for several months, has mostly just sat and been used as an occasional work monitor since. So I'm wondering what a reasonable asking price for it would be since it was used lightly for the last year and a half? I offered to sell it to a coworker but his offer was very lowball ($200 initial, eventually offering up to $275), but I feel like it's worth more than that...

I got mine open box from Amazon for a hair over 500 and I thought that was a great deal.

$375-400 is a good price for that used XB271HU. $350-375 if it's a good friend. $350's the lowest the 2716's ever gone brand new, and the IPS screen of the Acer commands a premium, even used.

I just checked and monitors don't seem to be included in their 90-day return window condition, which unless I'm mistaken means they'll take it back anytime?

The XB271HU bmiprz (IPS) is the go-to for good reason. If that's too expensive, S2716DG. If you want to spend more than that, Dell AW3418DW. No sense in getting two nice gaming monitors so if you want dual-screen go for one of the various Acer 27" 60 Hz 1440p IPS monitors as your second monitor, which periodically drop to ~250.

That thought hadn't crossed my mind but makes alot of sense. Thanks for the help. I'm still wondering if I should say gently caress it and go ultrawide or not. I just don't have a way to test it out in person beforehand, which is why I don't want to pull the trigger.I went to my local best buy but they didn't have ultrawides on display.

Whitest Russian posted:Are any of these recommended more than others? Out of those, the XB270HU bprz is IPS 144 Hz and is the best monitor there, but Acer has an updated model that goes to 165 Hz (the XB271HU bmiprz). If you can find a nice discount on the XB270HU then go for it. Be aware that Acer has another model, the XB271HU abprz, with a part number that ends in A01, with a 1ms response time (it is not actually a 1ms response time, but that's what Acer claims). It's a nice enough panel, on par with that Asus PG278Q or the Dell S2716DG, so if it's cheaper then don't feel too bad about it, but it is not IPS. Acer's IPS part numbers end in 001, or newer revisions are like 009 or something, but never have an ending in A01 or anything like that, and response times should be 4ms. The viewing angles on 27" TN panels are not great, they are big enough you get color shift on the sides/corners, and the IPS are an all-around better panel, but they are like 20% more expensive. The MX27AQ and GW2765HT are nice enough panels for a second monitor, but they are only 60 Hz and don't have GSync. At least for your primary monitor, 120+ Hz GSync is really nice to have if you will be gaming. If you don't want GSync, look for something at $250-300 like that GW2765HT or the Acer CB271HU. But past $300, you should just suck it up and buy a S2716DG ($400-450) or a refurb XB271HU ($525, maybe less if you can get a deal with an eBay coupon).

 quote:The Philips 499P9H offers a 5120 × 1440 resolution, which is called DQHD (dual quad HD), and is designed to substitute two 27-inch 2560 × 1440 monitors. Based on what we know about this panel unofficially, it has a 1800R curvature and supports refresh rates up to 120 Hz. B2B monitors featuring the panel will likely support a 60 Hz refresh rate, whereas their gaming counterparts will likely gain AMD’s FreeSync technology and a dynamic refresh rate between 48 Hz and 120 Hz (or 30 Hz and 120 Hz). Meanwhile, since we are dealing with a VA panel, expect a high contrast ratio along with 178º/178º vertical/horizontal viewing angles.  (too bad it's VA but they don't seem to be able to splice TN or IPS panels, nobody even makes them for the 24" version) Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Sep 7, 2018 |

I am currently running a 25" Iiyama 1080p screen and would like to upgrade, some advice would be appreciated. The use will be split between work laptop (80% of the time) which is a lenovo T470 and my desktop, which is mostly internet stuff and a bit of gaming (which seems to be less as I get older). I was pretty much sold on a Dell 32" 4k screen (u3219q) which has a USB-C input as well which would be awesome as I can plug my laptop straight in. Looks like it also works as a KVM so I could just use one keyboard and mouse. The thing I am thinking about is it's a 60hz screen. I have my current one at 75Hz and it's a nice difference and I think I would prefer a higher refresh rate. Should I get a AW3418DW instead? Working on a high refresh rate screen really appeals... but the 4k big screen also looks awesome and the USB-C will be really handy. Help!

Alright, monitor finally kicked the bucket. I think I'm going to hold off on getting into high framerates/HDR/>1080p for now and just get something to replace my U2311H. The U2417H looks like a decent contender. It's a little expensive for me right now. I'm not a profession graphics person so I can do without the pre-calibration. I'm trying to check out their non-Ultrasharp line, but no one besides random YouTubers seem to give a drat about reviewing anything but the Ultrasharps. Dell's own horrible comparison thing sucks. I have never seen it correctly line up stats for any monitors. I want: - 1080p (can't drive anything higher) - 60FPS (ditto) - decent response timing for gaming (but I am by no means competitive) - the pretties picture I can get I'm not married to Dell, so I'll take into account any recommendations. In particular I'm interested in these: S2419HM - It seems to have the same 'stats' but it's HDR ready! Yay? S2419HN - Again has the same stats, but is about $100 cheaper. Is it just because of the lack of inputs and pre-calibration, or is the U2417 worth the markup? Nice Van My Man fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Sep 9, 2018 |

I am looking for monitor recommendations. There are 3 hard requirements: * I connect it to my laptop, which has a high-end Nvidia gaming graphic card but remains a laptop * I have to use it for work, which is mostly coding and programming * I will use it for single-player non-competitive gaming ranging from strategy games, to RPGs to shooters In addition, I have no hard budget constraints but would like something sensible. Something not overly flashy and suitable for a regular desk is a big bonus. Giving these requirements, I was thinking a 27-inch 1440p monitor, considering the constraints of a laptop. I am unsure on how important features such as 144Hz or G-Sync are, giving my non-competitive gaming profile. A recommendation some googling gave me is the Dell Ultrasharp U2715H but, if I understand correctly, it has no 144Hz or G-Sync so unsure about its gaming qualities and if there might be different good options. What do you think?

Not sure what graphics card you have in your laptop, but gsync is magic if you cant maintain 60 fps in a game. I drive a 1440p gsync monitor with a laptop that has a gtx 980, and for games that I crank up the graphics and run at say 50 fps, I get a smooth 50 fps. If I was on a regular 60hz monitor, that would jump down to 30fps every time I dipped under 60fps, or get screen tearing and stuttering. It's very noticeable if you are going above and below 60 fps. If you can run everything no problem above 60 fps, probably not as big of a deal. It's really nice running shooters at 100+ fps (and other games feel smoother), but if you haven't yet experienced it you wont be missing anything. mem fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Sep 15, 2018 |

I need help. Understand, my situation is VERY obscure, and I need pro help... sigh... here we go... I have one HDMI camera, one wireless HDMI receiver, and an HDMI splitter outputting the same signal twice, one to a seperate monitor and one going to an HDMI switch along with the other two that then goes to an HDMI 1x8 splitter and before you ask why I have this complicated setup it's for a sporting event (professional wrestling) and we're switching cameras and feeds on the fly, one hard cam one roaming cam and a PC for playing videos. (phew) NOW I want to be able to switch without a ton of EDID and HDCP handshaking. I think the main problem is in the HDMI switch itself; the two splitters seem to be almost instant already, but the switch itself is causing a ton of HDMI handshakes because it was manufactured by Radio Shack and apparently cost these people very little money. I want a Crossbow, but they're sold out. I need something else, and preferably something cheap. I'll spend the money if I have to, but I cannot afford the thousands of dollars that a Roland V-4EX or something similar costs. What are my options and what else do I need to upgrade to make this happen? I want to press a button and switch from camera 1 to camera 2 to camera 3 to camera 1 to camera 3 to camera 2 and without all the goddamn five second waits for handshakes that I currently have right now between every switch.

A bit of research suggests a kvm that can handle the resolution should pass through the G-Sync magic. Hoping I haven't made a huge mistake! My work and own laptops are both Thinkpads which can pass 4k 60Hz through the USB-C, but I am finding it hard to work out if they can do 3440x1440/100Hz or 120Hz. Any idea how I can find out? Is it just dependent on what the intel graphics can output?

Hoping I haven't made a huge mistake! 4K60 and 21:9 1440p100 require nearly the same data rate, so any interface that can handle one should also be able to handle the other. Even 120Hz should work on any HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2 connection from a bandwidth standpoint, but if the G-Sync module doesn't support high refresh rates on HDMI that will be a limiting factor in those cases. Assuming your laptops support DisplayPort alt mode on USB-C you should be fine with a DP KVM.

I've been thinking about updating my monitor from a 32" flat screen TV I picked up from a garage sale for $50 five years ago to an actual computer monitor. I've been looking at the Acer R240HY as it's cheap and looks decent enough. I'm going to be using it for mainly browsing and gaming. I don't play shooters or sports games so I don't really need instant reaction or anti motion blur stuff and I'm not planning on running it at some ridiculous refresh rate and resolution either. This will only be the fourth monitor I've ever owned so I have very little idea what I'm doing here. Would this be a decent purchase or would you recommend something better? I'd like to keep it in the $100-150 price range if I could.

If you want to stick at 1080p, that's fine - I was just thinking that 1440p IPS for ~$160 was a pretty good price and a nice screen real estate upgrade as well. It's a bit academic, though - seeing as it's currently OOS.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824011209 You might have to call Newegg to get it at this price, but with the coupon code EMCPYEW27 the price goes down to $159.99, shipped free. A 1200p (not 1080p) IPS screen for $160 ain't bad. You get a little extra on the vertical resolution (120 pixels, to be exact). Not sure if it's worth being $50 more expensive than the R240HY at Amazon, but I certainly enjoyed running 1200p when everyone else was running 1080p over these past ~7 years.
