i looked into the 7-9 inch monitors for the same reason and they unfortunately seem to be mostly mini-HDMI + USB (for power) would've preferred a single USB-C setup

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Their monitors are pretty obscure and never get much in the way of english-language reviews. This is despite them being a fairly big manufacturer globally (and they do a lot of OEM work too). Anyway, I wouldn't expect anything fancy from this product at all, but I would expect it to be good enough for work-from-home stuff. How does the Acer do against the gigabyte m27q? I'm trying to figure out what I should get as a new monitor. I mostly play games, but also do work from home and having the built in kvm switch sounds nice. My budget is a little more flexible, but I'm looking at around that price point (maybe $50 more if something is compelling). I'd be looking at deals at microcenter.

As it is certified refurbished it qualifies for ebay's free 2 year warranty so figured it's worth a shot for ~$160. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275110646555 Well gonna have to wait until at least Monday (hopefully), FedEx delivered to the wrong address. Judging by what they said and the delivery picture they have of the inside of a garage with tools and stuff in it looks like a house with the same number on a different street in the neighborhood that is currently being renovated but no one will probably be back there till Monday sigh.

I'm pretty loose on every other requirement - things like high refresh rates I would consider a plus, but not a requirement. Blurb3947 posted:You can get the same functionality with a USB hub, really. But the M series Gigabyte ones are great. Thank you - I checked this, but looks like they don't do power delivery over USB-C, so it wouldn't charge my laptop while it's plugged in. Anyone have any recommendations for a monitor with a built in KVM that also has USB-C PD? Seems pretty niche....

My budget is a little more flexible, but I'm looking at around that price point (maybe $50 more if something is compelling). I'd be looking at deals at microcenter. The M27Q has a BGR subpixel arrangement which can lead to some blurriness around text. ClearType can partially fix this, but apps that use custom text anti aliasing, such as Chrome, can still have slightly blurrier text. I've also heard that the KVM switch is kind of janky. It can still be useful though, and if every app you use supports ClearType then there shouldn't be any issue with the BGR subpixels. The Acer monitor also has better response times for slightly better motion clarity, but this isn't likely to be noticeable for the most part.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Man, I wish dual-layer LCDs actually became a thing beyond reference monitors. I wonder what specifically prevents them from being made for ordinary TVs/monitors. Are they really that expensive to produce? Or is it just the heat/power consumption? (even if you aren't making a 10,000 nit reference monitor?)

Are there any other monitors I should be looking at in that price range (up to $350)? I know there are a couple Asus monitors, but that Acer deal just seems like a best choice.

Lockback posted:What do you play and what card do you have now. 4k vs 1080p is significantly more pixels to drive. That said, if you can get a good 4k screen and drive it then thats where I'd aim for. My video card is a. Lockback posted:He's on 27", I love my 34" and will likely keep with ultrawide but there's tradeoffs. My use of monitors taller than 27" means I don't want one unless I change how my desk is setup to sit further away. So I'd say if you've been using 27" and you like it, stick with it. I am not in a rush so I will keep an eye out. Folks seem to think the difference between a 1080p and 1440p monitor is more than marginal though I have to admit I am still a little skeptical. How big is the difference between a 1440p and a 4k and is a decent 4k monitor on the table for $300 or less if I am patient and wait for a good sale? Any particular places you would suggest to find out about a sale? Diogines fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Oct 26, 2023 |

shrike82 posted:the power delivery on the Gigabyte monitors stuck out to me when they were released - 15W is useless for most laptops Yeah, probably on Windows laptops even normal office usage might exceed 15W. I think in the case of an M1 MacBook 15W is probably ok as long as I'm not encoding video or playing video games or something like that. The charger which comes with the computer is only 30W, so I've got to believe that the worst case power consumption of the computer is < 30 W.

There are people who have never worked in data entry and then people who absolutely require a numpad. I wish the one on my keyboard was detachable though so I could have the keyboard further to the right and still have it there when I need it.

Diogines posted:Lots of genres, but (almost) never any "competitive" shooters, since they stopped making good Battlefield games. Some of them are graphically bland and very basic, others are visually impressive RPGs. I'd say 1440p is what you'd want. Yes, its significantly different than 1080p. 1440p is almost 2x the pixels as 1080, and 4k is more than 2x the pixels of 1440p. In terms of PPI of a 27", 1440p is a 32% increase, so it's pretty significant. 4K is another nice jump but it's a LOT more pixels, and I think the performance hit for RPGs would be too high. 1440p should be fine. Also, a 34" widescreen is the same height as a 27", it's just wider. So you don't sit any further back, you just have more stuff on the sides. It does have a higher perf impact but.I think a 6700XT could handle it fine. Not that I am pushing it, just if you like the form factor of a 27", your choices are basically 27" or Ultrawide 34", the share the same horizontal form factor.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Liyama GB2770QSU-B1? I'm looking for a sub £300 pound 1440 monitor with 165 refresh, it looks like a ver basic panel and I've read it has some bleed issues.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Please come back with a trip report when you get it set up - I'm curious. I half-assedly looked into using a tablet as a display but ran into the same things Rinkles describes, where the latency was so high it just wasn't viable. This works perfectly. Downloaded superdisplay and yea it operates without any lag whatsoever. Might have even been able to get away with a 12 inch tablet in the space as opposed to the 11 but this is essentially what I wanted.

As it is certified refurbished it qualifies for ebay's free 2 year warranty so figured it's worth a shot for ~$160. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275110646555 Ok my refurb Acer monitor actually turned up later on Saturday, I live in a pretty good neighborhood I guess whoever it got delivered to dropped it off on my porch. So far this thing is great. Basically everything in the rtings review seems to apply to this model apart from lack of USB ports. Out of the box it was detected and running at 170hz, I dropped that to 120hz since this is mostly for desktop work and a little extra smoothness is nice but don't need anything crazy. It comes with the firmware that enables max brightness which I guess is good because with no USB ports you can't flash it. Anecdotally reading recent reddit threads on this it sounds like everyone getting this has that firmware but YMMV. I don't have a lot to compare this to monitor wise but it's WAY brighter and clearer than the 10+ year old HP 22" ~1200p I was using before. 1440p is far more screen real estate than I was expecting. Really surprised, I can dock a web browser to one side of the screen and have a command prompt and explorer window on the other side and it's all pretty comfortable. As for this being a refurb the only issue I could find was the back of the mount was a little scuffed like it had been pushed up against a wall so no big deal there, the monitor itself is immaculate. No dead pixels. Just like in the rtings review there's a little darkening in the corners and slightly along the bottom edge but the overall screen uniformity is excellent. Out of the box it was in eco mode and already looked good, I switched it to standard and everything looks a little better other than as rtings noted the reds being pushed a bit so I just dropped the R down to 40 and it looks great to me. I don't do a lot of PC gaming so can't speak to that too much, will say Euro Truck Sim 2 looks really good on this compared to my old monitor, everything again just being way sharper and clearer. For ~$170 after tax for me this is exceptional. The ebay reviews aren't great but then I've found for these retail-ish items on there you get mostly people complaining so we'll see, the reddit threads from people getting this seem way more positive, at least it comes with the 2 year additional warranty on ebay. From keeping an eye on the listing it seems they do restock fairly regularly, the additional discount comes and goes but if you can line those up and get it for that price then I think it's worth taking a shot.

Thanks for this, it looks like they've restocked so I definitely might try this one out. As much as I want OLED I know I'll have to wait a little longer, and at this price point to upgrade from an old 24" Dell 1080p@60, it definitely might be worth it. (Though I'll probably keep it around as I currently have no secondary.)

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available on linux. To be fair I didn't try the others because superdisplay had everyone saying "buy this don't even try the free ones", so I'm not sure what options are available.

I'm intrigued by Ultrawide for gaming as my next PC upgrade, but I'm afraid I'd miss my second monitor that has game related stuff like strategy guides or whatever open on it while I play. Anyone have anything to share about their experience making this switch? I wouldn't have room to keep a second monitor I'm fairly certain.
