Guys I can't fucking decide. Is Matte coating worth the $30 difference per monitor?

Depends on how sunny your room gets.
Brayden Price
Never (heavy dark curtains).
Jaxson Long

Hunter Hughes
Glossy is always shit
Alexander Reed
But I can get TWO for less than what one name-brand 1440p costs.
Gabriel Thomas
>1440
just get 4k.

Joseph Brown
Then buy glossy, and after a week of pain you'll deglass it
Also look out for this monitor if you can find one for $200, mine was perfect
amazon.com
Or ya, if you're planning on buying 2, just get one giant 4k display man, look at this shit, look at this shit, this is what you what your goal in life should be
Ethan Wright
But I want to replace my dual 1080p with dual 1440p. I can't run anything in 4K with my budget anyway. The GPU(s) required are like twice the cost of one 4K monitor.
Liam Rogers
No you fool, you run 1080p on a 4k display, except for the games you can run at 4k. 1080p scales perfectly, and then you never need to replace your 40" 4k display, it gives you more pixels than 2 1440p displays
R9 285 at 4k

Or buy a monitor like the Wasabi Mango that can do 120hz 1080p or 4k

Alexander Nelson
why not take a hammer and break it.
pull it out.
Aiden Ramirez
It would still be glued on
Asher Gutierrez
but muh multi-tasking workspace.
I don't think I could go back to a single monitor again.
Brandon Foster

Clearly you misunderstand user
having a 40" or 50" 4k display is like having 4 20/25" 1080p displays with no bezel, there is literally nothing better for productivity
Wendell reviewed a lot of cheap korean 40" 4k displays
Ryder Lewis
>tfw i prefer my glossy screen
Kayden Ortiz
If you have no windows maybe
Jack Hughes
My window is actually behind it.
Nathaniel Foster
How bright is it that it can defeat sunlight glare?
Anthony Jackson
Goddamit, user, you're making me doubt myself now. I was about to buy 2 of one of those 1440p monitors.
I still feel like I won't be able to use the 4K fully without a very high end GPU. Currently planning on getting a gtx 1070 sometime this month after these monitors.
Kevin Jenkins
not super bright? I mean that the window faces the back of the monitor.
If it becomes a hassle I just close the blinds.
Chase Gray
what?
4k is like having 4 1080p monitor.
you're not gonna full screen 4chin are you?
Lincoln Wood
>buy one 4k
>keep your old 1080p
>4k for porn and games
>1080p for Sup Forums
or do 1080p-4k-1080p eyefinity for autism setup
Austin Ramirez
You don't get 4k for gaming yet, and a 1070 is only as fast a 980ti, which can't exactly do 4k, what's your current GPU? Just run games at 1080p and you have a 4k desktop, or run them windowed at 1440p
Wait for Vega/1080ti before you buy a single GPU for 4k
Samuel Nguyen
1070 can certainly do 4k if you're not a sperg ie needing ultra 60+ fps on every game
Jack Bell
>more than 60Hz 4k monitor
Caleb Davis
that's my point
a 1070 gets ~50fps on GTA V maxed out. if you're reasonable, you can easily get 60 if you turn down MSAA or whatever
Jaxon Ross
Or you could just wait, because if a 1070 can barely do 4k now, very quickly it'll need to be replaced as more intensive games come out
Isaiah Parker
Yes
Glossy will reflect every light source
Ian Rodriguez
Alright guys. I've found a good 4K display for a good price.
$269 28 inch AH-VA/IPS Matte 4K
Mason Thomas
go big or go home, 28" requires too much scaling
Ian Butler
That's a TN panel. Any TN over 24" and you're going to have a bad time.
Benjamin Peterson
The 32 inch one is $439 though.
$269 is a good enough price to get 2 of them.
Josiah Bell
goddamit, why is this so hard.
Jayden Foster
>goddamit, why is this so hard.
Welcome to life, just buy a giant IPS 4k display, that's all you need
also
Mason Perry
Just skip to 11:10 on the 28" video if anything
Sebastian Morris
is Crossover a reliable korean brand?
there's a used one im thinking of getting but id heard they're shit, even compared to qnix
Isaac Sanchez
Get matte so you don't ever have to see your ugly face in the reflection.
Ayden Edwards
My friend bought a glossy qnix because they didn't have matte at the time, he hates it
Meanwhile I liked my matte one so much that I bought another
So yeah I'd say it's worth it
Make sure the one you're buying only has DVI output otherwise you'll have some awful input lag from the DVI->DP converter or whatever they use
Anthony Foster
but i'm a qt
Lucas Peterson
>buying a chink monitor
>not getting a pb258q
It's well worth the $100 extra to actually have a warranty worth a damn.
Charles Myers
Depends on how bright your room is. If it's a dark room then go glossy. Matte coatings cover up light and precise edges IMO.
My brothers Dell Ultrasharp doesn't look as good as my Acer IPS in my opinion. By far.
Kevin Cruz
i'm glad i went with a benq va panel instead of ips from acer.
better blacks and none of that ips glow.
Xavier Moore
VA is alright but my IPS from Acer has no dead pixels and no IPS glow. 130$ almost 4 years ago. Very happy with it.
