Is there a choice IPS 4K monitor with G-Sync? Are there any? Everything I see is a TN panel. Yes I realize it would be expensive.

Zero VGS posted:There are no 4K IPS free/gsync monitors. Several announced but none in the wild right now; I spent a few hours searching on my phone today to pass the time. This stuff changes quickly but the LG 27MU67-B monitor is 4k, IPS, and free-sync.

ijyt posted:Is ASUS support really that bad? I really would prefer the GSync for gaming but I might go Dell if their support is awful. I once had to RMA an asus laptop 4 times. One time when it was at their facility to replace a fan due to bad bearing, someone there used my cookies that I didn't think to clear to access my email, attempt to gain access to my different accounts such as paypal etc. ASUS never responded to my questions about this or acknowledged anything.

Mersh posted:So what would someone who's looking to build a new gaming rig, getting a 980ti, playing planetside 2 look for in a monitor? The mass amount of research/reading I've done has brought me into a push pull fight between 1440p/144hz and 4k, and down between Acer XB270HU and Asus ROG Swift PG278Q, or something completely different? If you're playing FPS games get a 144hz 1440p monitor.

60->100hz is a huge difference. 100->144 is probably 'half' as noticeable.

OneSizeFitsAll posted:Wasn't sure whether to put this in the system building thread or here, but it's largely monitor-based, so here goes: Question 1: All you need is a single card, a 980ti. And yes it's worth playing at the higher res. A single 980ti will have no problems powering your games past 60fps at 2560x1600. Any other card will struggle by itself (any cheaper card). I don't know about what's out there for those monitors.

OneSizeFitsAll posted:Good point. I veer towards strategy and RPG, so that's a point in favour of upsizing resolution. I just said you only need a single 980ti, why would you SLI for that resolution? It's pointless. e: You also play the type of games which require the least GPU power.

OneSizeFitsAll posted:Witcher 3 is not GPU intensive? I've found the last two Elder Scrolls games to be heavy going too. I take the general point, though. Maybe I just have too much concern about the resource requirements of that resolution. So no reason to think I would be glad of the SLI in the future? I'd like to keep the performance up for a long time. I suppose if I need to there would probably be something to replace the 980ti with down the line. In all honesty if you want more power down the line picking up another 980ti and using SLI would probably be the best option (in the coming years). I know this stuff grows exponentially but it's hard to imagine what might require more than 2 SLI 980ti's.

Gwaihir posted:I wouldn't get a 4k screen for gaming at all compared to either the 144hz 27" 2560s or 34" ultrawide 3440 * 1440. The high refresh just does a hell of a lot more to improve the experience than 4k does. Not to mention the GPU requirements. I guess I'm conflicted because I play a lot of games that I would be able to push at max settings at 4K with my single 980ti (league of legends, sc2, WoW, etc).

Gwaihir posted:I play a lot of blizzard games that are relatively easy to push, too, and 4k just didn't offer any kind of dramatic image quality/sharpness increase for me while gaming to make it worth giving up 144hz/gsync at 2560 * 1440. That's really useful actually, thanks for posting. What would the thread recommend right now for a 2560x1440 IPS panel with g-sync and 144hz? Is that acer basically the best thing out there? I'm in Canada and don't want to go through a roulette of Amazon returns with Korean monitors.

AVeryLargeRadish posted:That Acer is the only one out there with those specs right now. ASUS has their own version that is technically out already but good luck finding one and Acer has a new model of their version coming out soon. Anyway, you should probably wait a bit and see how those turn out before buying anything. Thanks for the advice. I just want to play fallout 4 basically.

Bioalchemist posted:I've being using a 40' cheap Samsung as my only monitor for the last couple of years and usage sounds exactly like yours. It may depend on the TV but black won't quite black and you'll need to turn on v sync for everything other than that I think it great. Gaming on a 40' screen turns you into a size fiend though For what it's worth most people playing competitive games or even just anything beyond take-your-time kind of stuff would find it very difficult to play well with a 40" monitor if you're sitting at the normal desk distance away from it. The issue is that the information on the screen that you need to quickly reference is too far apart and from where your vision is normally centered. The poster above who wants to just get an HDTV would be better served to just get a laptop that he can put on a table for doing his budgeting on and then bring over and connect to the TV with an HDMI to play games on with a USB or bluetooth controller/mouse/keyboard. If he's willing to play games from his couch to be honest he's not really into the kind of gaming most of us are anyways.

Super Space Jam 64 posted:Do any of you have recommendations on a reliable G-sync monitor? I've been using a single Dell U2311H which has served me well, but would lke to try a dual monitor setup. I don't care as much about image quality as the U2311H is an IPS and is very crisp so i can just stream stuff on that display--rather I'm more interested in reliability, reasonable price, and decent resolution (1080p or higher), and of course the presence of G-Sync as I'd like to use this one for gaming. I assume you're gaming, why wouldn't you care about image quality on the display you're gaming on?

I like the extra HDMI input and thin bezels on the XB271HU over the XB27HU but do you guys really see anything there that makes it worth $200 more? Right now I'm tempted to just pick up the older model.

Would you guys buy an XB270HU if you weren't really able to return it more than once? I don't think NCIX allows serial returns and anything past the 30 day return time would be just Acer RMA. I'm not convinced that the xb1 version is going to be out soon and it sounds like the QC problems are pretty awful.

Do you think it would be reasonable to ask them to turn on the panel prior to my purchasing it? I'm not really sure how I would arrange that and I can understand them being reluctant to open the packaging. How is Acer's RMA for the backlight bleed?

Picked up my XB270HU and oh man it's so nice. I can't find any dead pixels and the IPS backlight bleed seems super minor - noticeable only with the screen unplugged. Couldn't be happier.

A mixture of not wanting to wait, not wanting to pay more, tales of QC problems with other xb1 monitors, uncertainty to when exactly that panel is even coming out, and figured I'd save the $ in the difference between the monitors.

Vancouver here. I've never seen a decent sale on any product that is newly on the market/desirable. I'd be surprised if any of the good monitors were marked down more than the usual 10-15% which you see off and on through the year anyways.

When I use in-game console tools to set my max FPS down to 100hz from 144hz I can barely tell the difference. This is in CSGO. I notice it barely but if I had the option of saving 200 bucks or something but being limited to 100hz I would have saved the money.

Besides the Acer 4k/144hz/G-Sync monitor is there a decent 4k IPS high refresh rate monitor (like more than 60hz but not necessarily 144hz)? I thought there was a 100hz offering but I can't find it anywhere.

Whitest Russian posted:Bringing my post back if someones got any input. It's personal preference but the 1440p higher refresh rate widescreen monitors seem really nice. I'd be tempted to do something like that next. You should replace your monitors unless you're getting a single really nice monitor, then you can use one or both of the old ones as secondary.
