>for a 59hz
user, that's just a windows issue, 59.98hz is reported as 59hz not 60hz in windows.
It's still an effective 60hz.
Camden Peterson
regardless the screen looks awful and I'd rather a new one I don't about hz so long as there 60
Robert Sullivan
If you have an AMD card that supports Freesync get that Nixeus 1080P 144 hz monitor it's really nice for the cost.
Dominic Cox
Gaming is a degenerate hobby and egregious under utilization of a computers potential. Learn a programming language and get a job
Jayden Long
using intel but thanks
eat shit

>In Windows 7 and newer versions of Windows, when a user selects 60Hz, the OS stores a value of 59.94Hz. However, 59Hz is shown in the Screen refresh rate in Control Panel, even though the user selected 60Hz.
>This behavior is by design for monitors and TVs that report only 59.94Hz but not 60Hz. Both 59Hz and 60Hz are translated to 59.94Hz before these values are sent to the driver. Therefore, the display is identical at 59Hz and 60Hz.
Changing monitor likely wont change anything if it's a new monitor
However you can go ahead and buy a nice dell ultrasharp IPS panel if you want good color accuracy, it will still say 59hz though.

>falling for asus quality control meme
kys, don't trust asus for anything besides motherboards.
Jonathan Gutierrez
Their quality control can be an issue, but they RMA like no ones buisness so it's usually not a problem, just keep RMA'ing until you get a good one. That's what I did with my monitors. Bought 2, one showed up DOA. RMA'd it and got a working one.
Had them for 2-3 months now.
Levi Hill
go for benq my two brand new asus monitors came with dead/stuck pixels right out of the box.
Andrew Stewart
yaeh i heard Intel makes the best gpus

Anyone using a 27" 4K monitor?
considering getting one
Elijah Martin
I've used one, but I dont own one (and wouldn't buy one). 28" is FAR too small for 4k, the GUI scaling is basically required to read ANYTHING legibly, but plenty of programs totally ignore GUI scaling in windows so you're shit out of luck.
You want at least 36-40" for 4k.
Luis Morris
OK move onto the next thread now, I hear theyre missing your redundant and repetitive input.
Adam James
I forgot to mention that the screen I have is also LCD as that another reason why it looks like shit?
Eli Rogers
>you cant do both
Lucas Davis
No considering 90% of monitors on the market are LCD and that's what professionals are using (though they generally aren't cheap fucks like you and buy nice dell ultrasharps or NEC displays)
If you want color accuracy get a fucking $5,000 OLED, or a good IPS LCD.
Bentley Ross
Thanks but aren't the most used programs scaled properly? Is it decent when using scaling?
Aaron Fisher
Yeah, I use one as my main monitor. The sharpness and image quality is absolutely gorgeous. I didn't plan on keeping it, I bought it with the express purpose of trying out 4K for myself and sending it back, but the quality was just too good compared to a "normal" DPI monitor to give up, so I kept it.
Carson Gray
Ehh I'm so used to LED screens I might just drop the money for it
Hows this?
Grayson Ward
Lol fucking garbage, no wonder you keep getting shit screens, you need to double or triple your budget if you want a color accurate display.
Most basic things like internet and shit are fine, but if you use any sort of professional software that doesn't get updates very often, you're usually shit out of luck.
It's going to depend what you do on the computer, but for me I could never use 4k on anything smaller than a 36", and i'd prefer 40". 40" 4k is 110 PPI, at 36" it's 122 PPI, at 27" it's 165 PPI.
A "normal" 27" 2560x1440p for reference is 108 PPI. So 40" 4k at 110 PPI will be almost identical to a 1440p 27".
William Torres
ASUS PB279Q or something I can't remember the name of it because I'm not autistic but it's brilliant. compared to my 120 dollar 1080 ips LG monitor it is league's better but also 500 dollars more
Kevin Clark
The Dell Ultrasharp series has been one of the best for a long time now
I've had them at work for like 3 years so far, and got one at home as well (24 inch)
Well I think they're really good. Another friend of mine has had the 31 inch one for over 3 years and is also really happy with it
Juan James
LED is actually LCD under a fancy marketing term. Acquire some knowledge before you buy shit and complain about it.
Benjamin White
le geeee hivemind xDD dont forget to use gentoo loonix XDDDD winblows is for babies
Caleb Morales
I prefer the thin screen size but okay faggot.
Aaron Watson
I'm still not convinced you're not trolling, hell the first 5 responses already gave you your answer, buy a fucking IPS Ultrasharp dell and quit bitching.
Aiden Roberts
if you're looking for 144hz this looks pretty good might fall for the meme myself
Jackson Phillips
Do you want high refresh rate, color accuracy, or high resolution? Prioritize those.
Chase Nelson
all three
Grayson Howard
Then you're spending $1000+ for one of the new Asus 144hz IPS.

wow, only 3 minute turn on time. Not bad.
Nathan Williams
Can confirm. U2414h is a great monitor.
Jason Lewis
Whats the best 1080p/60hz out there with the best color?
Jose Parker
U2417H, it's a $350 1080p monitor though.
Jayden Moore
What's the minimum acceptable response time for a gaming monitor? 5?
Liam Mitchell
anything under 8-10 is fine unless you're a pro gaymen.
Tyler Robinson
Get a CRT and stop wasting your money
Ethan Parker
I actually have a 19" 45lbs CRT in my basement in great condition. 1600x1200 with 96Hz maximum refresh rate.
Gavin Bennett
Then you won't find something better.
Wait for OLED
Nathaniel Hernandez
do people genuinely think they'll notice the difference between 6 and 8 for example?
just about all decent ones are in the 6-10 range, it makes no real difference
just get something with good reviews, that hopefully also has a decent track record for making monitors
...like the dell ultrasharp series
getting lost in shit like "oh but this one has 6 ms response time while this one has 8 woaaa" will only waste time (and most likely money)
Caleb Price
Any good value 16:10 screens about? Don't care about 4k or anything about 60Hz
David Johnson
16:10 tend to be expensive these days, but the U2415(non H model) is 16:10 and is a very nice monitor

I use a HP ZR2440w. Its 1920x1200, 24 inch IPS monitor. I like it, but the default color settings are a bit warm, so I had to do some calibrating. Just a warning. Also, 16:10 monitors have a premium that honestly, isn't really worth it unless you really want the extra space.

XL2411Z if you don't want pwm.
Owen Gomez
Omg you're an actual tard
Adrian Morgan
If an ips panel is from a reputable brand such as viewsonic or acer does it automatically mean itll look good ? I was thinking about a 24" ips 1080p monitor from aoc. The i2367Fh.
Jacob Russell
>buying a monitor without freesync or gsync these days
Nicholas Garcia
It's a fucking monitor, look up reviews, if it has good reviews and its a well known brand, buy it. Don't go for the cheapest piece of shit you can, because you'll spend 10+ hours a day looking at it for years, spend more of your NEET bux

>muh PPI
1440p and above is a meme at typical monitor sizes. I have 20/20 vision and the 96 ppi or so that I get from my 24" 1080p monitor looks fine.
Oliver Harris
i bought a standard ultrawide.
i don't think i need the sync tech or the over 60 hz. it's not like i ever have a badass enough pc to play all the new games at max. i mean, i would try it, but not for 2x the cost, or for a similar price 16:9 with those features. once something gets glowing "GAMR" led logos all over it, i get worried about its actual usefulness.
Jaxson Baker
I never said anything about PPI. Of course you don't get a 24" 1440p, that would be silly.
>typical monitor size
>24"
It is no longer [current year minus 5]. 27" 1440p is the new 24" 1080p. 30" 1600p is the new 24" 1200p.
Nathaniel Miller
THAT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MY FUCKING CAT
PROVE ME WRONG
Hunter Reed
Your cat has it's head on it's bottom whereas teh other one has it's head on top.
What do I win?
Christopher Butler
Proper rotation
Mason Sanders
something with g-sync/freesync depending on your gpu brand
Anthony Turner
You never said anything about monitor size either. Not everyone wants a fucking 27" screen on their desk. As to your >current year appeal, the latest Steam survey shows the vast majority of users are at or under 1080p, and you can just about guarantee that those numbers include more enthusiasts than your average soccer mom/dad or grandma checking emails and printing word documents once a week.
The bottom line is 1080p monitors are more than enough for the majority of people and that includes people on Sup Forums.
