How awesome would it be to go from my Dell U2515H 1440 monitor to one of those 34" ultrawide LG 1440 monitors. I bought my Dell for $200 recently and today I see a used LG available for $550. I am really thinking about if it is worth the extra cash. Can anyone who owns one tell me if there any difficulties? I mostly game. I will own either a rx 480 or 1070 to drive those pixels.

So I purchased a LG 34um95 off Ebay for $475. Can anyone recommend me a VESA mount for $50-$80. The Ergotech Freedom Arm seens like it will work. I am thinking this going to take up my whole desk but my god am I excited for ultrawide goodness.

I bought a Dell u3415w off Craigslist that the owner purchased a month ago and still has three years warranty. It has some backlight bleed and orangeish glow. Its not really bad but if I could get a better one I would. My question is there a chance of success getting a replacement? Trying to decide between this monitor and the LG 34um95 with thunderbolt which has not arrived yet.

Ingenium posted:Is there currently a goto monitor for 1440p 144Hz with Gsync for gaming? It seems like there are butt loads of options and so I am getting a bit overwhelmed. Seems like everybody buys the XB270HU or the XB271HU.

If anyone is on the market for a 34" ultrawide Adorama on Ebay has the LG 34UC88 on sale for $724.99 and today there is a $15 off 75 coupon CSUMMERFUN2016. $710 for a brand new monitor is a pretty deal.

What are the chances of getting a decent XB270HU? I honestly dislike how the XB271HU looks and I would get it only because of better quality control. A refurb XB270HU for $400 seems like a good price and 120hz is plenty. I currently have a Dell ultrawide but I still have a itch to witness firsthand what a high refresh g sync monitor feels like.

tvgm2 posted:I actually ordered one from acerrecertified.com 2 weeks ago and received it Friday. It was $400 plus shipping. I am going to guess that nowadays you will be getting refurbs with more recent build dates. Those issues don't sound bad at all for $400. Luckily there's a Frys with an XB271HU on display so I can get somewhat of a taste.

Sorry guys for forgetting to link the ebay auction. It was actually up since I woke up around 6:30 am pst time. There was like 4 XB271HU in stock. I think some stalking goons got them because they were still in stock when I posted. I did not buy it because of sales tax. It came out to like $613. Might as well buy it new.

Taima posted:I dunno man, OLED is on the horizon, and while there's always something better coming, I really do think that OLED is the bee's knees. I concur I got my Dell brand new with 3 year warranty on Craigslist for $500. They are on Ebay used for $500-650. I wish Dell or LG had g sync models because Dell and LG always fall in price. It sucks that Acer and Asus can keep things at a premium for stupidly overpriced tech. By the way has anyone in here had any success overclocking their U3415W? I have not tried it with the UFO tests.

lDDQD posted:AOC AG271QG is coming out soon, but it uses the same AU Optronics panel as the Acer and ASUS displays, so it's kinda the same thing. All that sounds great. More competition and AOC is pretty cheap while having decent aluminum builds. Some info: https://pcmonitors.info/aoc/aoc-ag271qg-165hz-ips-type-g-sync-model/ £639. Pretty steep nvm.

PerrineClostermann posted:I play at 2560x1080. It's wonderful. I kinda wish I just saved my money and bought a 2560 x 1080 LG 29UM67. The 1070 can drive my U3415w right now but that's alot of pixels to drive in the future. My desktop does look amazing though. I highly recommend getting the LG 29UM67 if you want a good budget minded ultrawide. Freesync with a range of 30-75 will last well into future when Freesync becomes the standard. The price is really good at Newegg at $279.99.

How about an LG 29um68-P for $240 at Adorama? I went ultrawide and now I cant go back everything else seems...so small.. Other options would be a cheap Korean 2560x1440 or an Asus PB278Q. For 1080 144hz theres also the Asus VG248QE. Link to the LG. Great deal actually. http://m.ebay.com/itm/331908093166?_mwBanner=1

FAT CURES MUSCLES posted:I just got a used PB278Q and its pretty great. If you can get a good price its a good monitor till the 1440p 144hz G-Sync MEGA MONITORS lower price a bit. Since they're an older model it's quite easy to get them for $180-250 ish range. I just don't like the bezels.

Argas posted:That looks good, though it's not coming down in price any time soon. May opt for U2717D instead, direct from Dell it's cheaper than third-party U2715H and Dell doesn't sell those anymore, at least not in Canada. I dont know if Dell outlet ships to Canada but I saw refurb U2715Hs selling for $260 USD. I would keep an eye out for that next time.

Just bought a refurb XR341ck for $550 on Craigslist, sold my Dell U3415W for the same amount, sold an LG 34um95 and sent my LG 29um68 back to Adorama. In short 4 monitors in a month. For a loss of about $25 I was able try out 3 ultrawide monitors. My roommate was super confuses why I had different monitor on my desk every week. The Acer XR341ck for $550 is a good deal though. And it has the coolest ambient lights ever!

ConanTheLibrarian posted:That's freesync. I don't know if these are comprehensive lists but they're handy for narrowing down your options based on the specs you're looking for. No 24" 1080p 144Hz IPS *sync monitors sadly. You'd think that would be a prime spot in the market but apparently not. I was referring to the post above mine. The 24" 144hz tn freesync panels are so much cheaper than a 24" 144hz tn gsync panel.

After watching Terry Crews' finished pc build. I am convinced that I would love having an adjustable standing desk. I tried standing and playing Doom with a controller. Not only is it healthier. But I feel like my XR341Ck is even more immersive this way. Another reason why Ultrawides are awesome. I cant wait for football season. 4 game splitscreen will be incredible. Unfortunately gamepass probably wont be in 21:9. Green Gloves fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Jul 28, 2016 |

wicka posted:it's not really "healthier." standing stationary for long periods of time is no better for you than sitting. it's healthier only if you use it as an excuse to be up and moving, which is what i do at work, but isn't really applicable to gaming. I feel like sitting for long periods puts a lot of strain on your knees and joints. Even standing stationary at work I feel like my knees feel much less stiff when I do activities than after sitting all day. Its still sedentary but I feel much better than sitting on my rear end for hours.

blah_blah posted:I was in the same boat and after doing some research I bought a Dell U2715h for $450 from Amazon, and am extremely happy with it. It's a significant upgrade from the U2412h it replaced for me at home, and also noticeably better than the U2712h and (2x) 27" Apple Thunderbolt Displays that I've used at work over the last couple of years. Wasnt there refurbs of the Dell U2715H that were like $280? The pb278q can be pretty cheap used as well.

Grab a cheap SMSL amp/dac and you have a great 7.1 headphone setup that works for movies, games, and music.

Anyone here have any luck extending the freesync range of their MG279q? I am looking into getting one. But not if its only 35-90hz. I am also thinking a 1080 144hz with freesync complements my XR341ck better.

So I bought a MG279q for a pretty amazing deal of $280. Maybe I am tripping but it doesnt seem like the increase in refresh to 144 is that huge of difference compared to the XR341ck. Note I pretty play only Overwatcha atm. Maybe CS or BF makes a bigger impression. The blb is much better on the MG279q though. Green Gloves fucked around with this message at 04:43 on Aug 29, 2016 |
