I have had the same 24'' ASUS 1080p monitor since I built my first computer about five years ago.
I currently don't play video games or own a GPU but I think it's safe to assume that I will own one in the distant future. Right now, I am focusing on drawing and digital art.
I'm currently on a 27" 1440p ASUS PB278 monitor and it's way too big to be comfortable.
I think 24" is the highest I'll go. Probably going to buy a new HP 24" 1080p with tiny bezels. Don't need 1440p. It's under $200.
Ayden Myers
I got the PB258Q and it's perfect, 25" 1440p.
William Rodriguez
How much did it cost? That sounds good because I really like the sharpness of it, the brightness is nice (50-60% is adequate even for bright conditions). If it's at 80% it literally burns my retinas.
Elijah Adams
I got mine for $265 each, but that was on sale. They are usually anywhere from $280-320.
The dual arm mount was another $100 from monoprice.
Owen Cooper
>art Get an 2k/4k IPS monitor.
Asher Ross
Depends entirely on what you want. But if you're not gaming, a 4K IPS screen is a good idea.
Christian Richardson
24" 1080p isn't bad at all, especially with no GPU. If you feel like wasting money, upgrade to a 16:10 rather than a 16:9 for a more ideal aspect ratio. Also, you can get a very decent GPU for less than the price of a new monitor; they're useful for more than just games.
Ayden Foster
I am trying to be more creative and I am afraid that if I buy a GPU, I'll just play games.
Other than video editing, what would a GPU be useful for?
Josiah Martinez
they have media decoders so you can playback 1080p and 4k video without using any CPU %.
Besides that they're really only useful for gaming, GPGPU computation, or similar.
Jonathan Parker
I recently got a 27" 1440p Dell UltraSharp U2715H and I'm quite pleased with it. Great build quality, perfect pixel pitch for me., top notch colors out of the box (comes pre-calibrated) and no ghosting. The only downside is the shit contrast (950:1) and IPS glow, but I've seen worse. Definitely not a big issue unless you are dealing with very dark content all the time. And it's slightly expensive at €440.
Since you're into drawing the great colors may be a big benefit.
I'm mainly pleased with mine because of the massive extra workspace, which is particularly handy when programming or working in various editors (such as Unreal)
Thomas Martin
Then buy an industrial card. But you don't need anything better than an r7 280 for art.
Asher Collins
get a widescreen(21:9) for productivity, trust me. not those gaymen fags
Isaac Hernandez
it's blowing my mind that people are still buying 24" 1080p monitors.
Bentley Roberts
i use a 19" 900p monitor, fite me
Kayden Nelson
I honestly am fine with 1080p. I can tell 1440p is sharper, but 1080p looks sharp enough for me.
Grayson Flores
Hey guys. I have a 6700k and a 660Ti and two 24" LG IPS231 monitors. Problem, one is old as fuck and the other ain't no spring chicken. I can't for the life of me get them calibrated the same and I find 24" way too small and limiting to be honest. I have a Canon 6D and would like more screen real-estate, I'm a hobbyist photographer. But also would like bigger screen for porn as well. I've been looking at 32" 4k IPS monitors but they seem so damn expensive. Cheapest one I can find is the BenQ one that's going for $1000 CAD on NCIX. Anyway, would I need to buy a new vid card for using a 4k monitor for non-gaming use? Is it even worth it to get a 4k 32" monitor? I'm not exactly poor but $1000 is quite a bit to plonk down on a single monitor.
Jason Gray
I'm sitting on U2414H, everything is great.
Grayson Cooper
>bought dell ultrasharp in february >discovered a dead pixel today
Brandon Smith
I have a couple on my new U2715H. I saw them when I looked for dead pixels explicitly. Haven't noticed them since (couple of weeks now). Can't be bothered to swap it out if they're not really noticeable. Depends on the pixel pitch of course. There's always bound to be dead pixels on such a high res screen.
Nicholas Foster
>There's always bound to be dead pixels on such a high res screen.
Pretty much, even the highest end manufacturers like NEC and Ezio have pixel policies which allow SOME pixels to be hot, dead, or stuck.
Besides, after a couple of weeks there's so many dust specks and shit on my screen I can't even tell the difference anymore :^)
Levi Barnes
Hey guys, i want a good monitor that is over 27 inches wide
what are some good options that arent too expensive? im willing to go to around $350
Thomas Johnson
I just bought my first monitor over 1080p. how did I do?
Jaxon Harris
>4k instead of 144hz
Not bad I guess, as long as you don't play multiplayer games.
Benjamin Nguyen
Whatever you do make sure it has srgb unless you know what you're doing when it comes to adobe rgb.
Joshua Thomas
>4K
Honestly the worst choice you could have made? You chose 4K instead of 100+ FPS. Why? You can't even notice 4K on such a small screen. Fuck sake man...
Isaac Lee
>Honestly the worst choice you could have made? You chose 4K instead of 100+ FPS. Why? You can't even notice 4K on such a small screen. Fuck sake man...
oh boy you're another one of those 40+ inches 4K retards
Jordan Hughes
The only retard is you. I own a 4K and a 3440x1440. I'll take 3440x1440 at a 100 FPS any day over 60 FPS. There is a MUCH bigger difference between 60 and 100 FPS than there is 4K vs 3440x1440.
Samuel Nguyen
Why would you want anything else? 24" is my personal limit for comfortable viewing in a desktop environment.
Nolan Lee
I got mine today, no backlight bleed and no dead pixels (so far)
I found 1 dead pixel on my U2414H, I dont even care because I use it in portrait and it's in the bottom corner.
The U2715H is really nice though, so glad I didnt buy the $1000 Asus ROG PG279Q
Hudson Cox
I just received the 25 inch LG UM57 wide-screen monitor.
It is OK but I am thinking about sending it back for a real 1440p monitor. I just want more screen estate, but I don't pc game much.
Kayden Ramirez
>People can't comfortably use 27 inch screens How close do you guys sit to the screen? 27 is ideal, I can't imagine it being overwhelming.
Ryan Adams
Grown-ups tend to prefer 16:10, 4:3, 5:4 or 1:1 monitors.
Jonathan Hall
>tfw 34" ultrawide is super comfy
Thomas Edwards
You're the kid here
Colton Wood
ive heard that with smaller 1440p monitors (
Levi Wright
Not true at all, especially at 25"
the difference between 27" and 25" is very minimal, 109PPI at 27" and 117 PPI at 25"
You only need to start GUI scaling above 120PPI.
I wouldn't want 23" or smaller 1440p, but 25" is fine.
Hunter Phillips
I imagine so. I have a 27" 1440p one and the text without scaling is just perfect. It's about the smallest it could be within the comfortable range.
Parker Williams
You think this need GUI scaling...?
Lol, it's perfectly readable without any sort of text scaling.
Landon Cook
1/2
Jaxon Ortiz
>using a monitor in portrait
What is wrong with people?
Asher Nguyen
It can be comfy, especially if you have an adjustable mount.
Elijah Miller
Main 27" is in landscape
Secondary 24" is in portrait. It's really useful for emails and reading pdfs
Kayden Kelly
Cheap and good enough for gamers. Plus easy to have more than one.
Asher Turner
I agree, on sale they can be had for under $100.
Caleb Carter
If you're not doing anything hardware-accelerated you should be fine, integrated graphics alone will handle desktop usage and basic stuff at 2160p
Mind you I'm not some hardcore CSGO player that gets some sort of performance boost from my monitor.
Cooper Morgan
at 27" i'd get 2k 144hz.
4k is only really super useful at 35-45" screen size because then you can actually use the extra resolution for desktop use.
Owen Miller
Some people have jobs
Logan Robinson
Hi guys,
Which monitor produce is the best upgrade from DELL 24" TN.
DELL U2913WM - 29" Ultrawide
DELL P2416D - 24" 1440p
DELL U2515H - 25" 1440p
All IPS monitor with almost same price. Any other recommendation?
I'm leaning toward U2913WM but this monitor out on 2012 and maybe dont have improvement compared to newer monitor. Is it correct?
Logan Cruz
>U2515H My choice is the 25" 1440p
29" UW is a meme unless a lot of your games take advantage of the aspect ratio.
24" 1440p is almost too sharp, 25" is good though.
Ryder Campbell
i'm not really happy with any of the monitor choices on the market right now, either get a 4k ips that's so so, or just stick with a 1080p display
Wyatt Gutierrez
Dell S2216H monitor has speakers and line out which is very useful to send to hifi.
Sound switching actually works unlike on the TV when I was using that as my 2nd.
Smaller monitors are better for typing shit for whatever.
Zachary Morris
So the scaling is good enough for 1440p at 25"? I'm afraid the font is too small. Nearby store don't have U2515H on display for me to test.
James Robinson
This is the same panel but in the Asus model without any font scaling.
John Parker
X-Star or other Korean 27" 2560x1440. I've had one since 2013 and it's pretty wonderful.
Adaptive rate monitors are still new, expensive, and not really well proven. For example, supporting Nvidia's version is expensive, and I have my doubts that it will still be around in five years.
Brody Bell
>24" is my personal limit for comfortable viewing in a desktop environment.
Why? I have a 27" 16:9 and would loooove a 30" 16:10. It doesn't even seem big to me anymore. Hell, I'd go to something like 34".
Justin Lopez
I'd honestly be fine with a 40-45" 4k. I have two 25" right now and if I could get that down to a single 40" 4k i'd save a bit of horizontal space and add a few inches of vertical resolution.
Christopher Cooper
They should offer it royalty free to OEMs, they would make their money back and secure it's future.
Logan Morgan
The monitor is not available in my country. I'll go with U2515H for 1440p since 27" almost double the price. Thanks.
Isaiah Rivera
I don't know why we aren't just using existing adaptive frame rate options already built into standards.
Or should I consider somethinmg else? I'm open to other options probably going to build a pc around $600 with a 1060 card.
Bentley Myers
I've been using some Benq 21.5 inch 1080p monitor for years and I want to upgrade but I don't know what resolution to get. I'm a hobbyist photographer so getting a 4k screen with accurate colors would be neat but I don't know how practical it would be for gaymen. Does downscaling to 1080p in games look worse than native 1080p resolution monitors? Or should I just stick to a 1440p 144hz IPS monitor and keep running dual monitors?
Alexander Thomas
I wish 16:10 monitors were still widely available.
Levi Reed
Meme.
Dylan Reyes
>hating superior usability >hating superior screen real-estate
why.
Luis Bailey
Dell U2515H or Asus PB25Q? If both are same price
Jeremiah Roberts
Consumers
William Walker
what
Hunter Smith
If both are same price dell, they use the same LG AH-IPS panel, but the dell scaler is more advanced and can usually be OC'd a bit (~70-75hz) where as the Asus can't. Also the dell has USB ports and displayport passthrough (you can daisy chain other displayport monitors through the dell monitor only using a single displayport output on the GPU)
I got the Asus cause they were $70 cheaper than the Dell was at the time. But if they were the same price i'd have gotten the dell.
Michael Cox
I want to use one of these as a monitor.
Don't ask why
Samuel Myers
what do yall niggas think about 2560x1080 for daily use? im thinking about getting 29 inch LG monitor(currently still runnig 27 inch 1366x768)
Anthony Stewart
are you guys actually mentally fucking retarded? every single one of you?
If you have a 27" 16:9 monitor you need a 34" to keep the vertical height you are used to. Just a warning.
Henry Nguyen
Dell IN2020M (1600x900). In use for six years and counting. Hoping to buy me a new monitor for a Christmas gift.
Jack Morris
Just bought a 21 inch 1080p monitor.
Isaiah Martin
Get a K-panel, one of the A- stock 1440p versions. I've been using one for occasional color work for around two years, considering switching out my 1080p TN side panel for another one. For the price, the difference is really night-and-day between regular consumer monitors
Colton Wilson
Conjecture
Joseph Lewis
who was arguing over FPS ?
My point was stretching out a 4K resolution to 40 or more inches no longer makes it a high ppi display
John Jackson
Why do monitors still have such noticeable bezels?
Christopher Jackson
ok
Hunter Thompson
Is a 27" 1080 display livable if you are mostly going to be using it for gaming? Almost twice the money for 1440 is just a little painful
Gavin Lee
I have Dell p2715q it's pretty good. Not for gaming though, 8ms response time is really fucking shitty.
Benjamin Ortiz
1080p looks pretty awful at 27" desu.
Joshua Bell
This. I wouldn't go over 24 for 1080p assuming normal desk distance.
Oliver Green
>1440p on 27" why suffer?
Wyatt Green
1440p at 25 is perfect without scaling. i have the u2515h, getting the lg ud68 tomorrow. wonder if i can deal with that without scaling.
Andrew Bennett
>Have D2015H >25 ms response time
Anthony Wood
You can't, it requires 150% scaling which makes it roughly the same resolution as 1440p, but obviously much sharper because of the extra pixel density.
Samuel Ross
>>>>>““““requires””””
Isaiah Murphy
Unless you glue your face about 8-10 inches away or you have macro vision or some shit.
Adam Turner
I just got a BenQ BL2420PT from B&H for $250. No complaints so far, and it has Displayport, something I've noticed a lot of cheaper monitors don't have, despite the fact that most newer graphics cards I've seen only have one DVI/HDMI port.
Adam Green
hey guys quick question... I am buying a Dell Ultrasharp from a friend's friend with about a year of use... is there any tests that I can run to make sure the monitor is working fine? I mean like those tests that reveal dead pixels and proper colors, etc
Jonathan Butler
you can use your eyes to look at it and see if there are dead pixels and improper colors
Austin Wright
>1440p 24" >not 27"
Hahahahahahahahaha your damage control is funny.
Jack Wood
Does anyone else have my problem where VESA mount info is hidden or missing? Really annoying.
Gavin Turner
24" is fine. or 27" or whatever you like. but smartphone displays, laptop displays, and tablet displays have all moved on to substantively higher pixel densities. operating systems that aren't trash have scrounged together support for high pixel density displays. get yourself a 4k monitor either at 24" (thus 200% of 1080p, so scaling UI elements should be easy), or 27".
>gamers lol. okay
Grayson Parker
I use a 30" 4K monitor without scaling, but I also sit rather far away from my screen. (Much farther than most people, which more than makes up for the difference between 27" and 30")
Friend of mine uses two 4K 24" displays without scaling, but he also sits closer
scaling is really only needed for old people with poor eyesight and idiots buying 15" 4K laptops
