good/affordable 1440p monitors

jake98

Hello,

 

I am building a PC that includes a GTX 780! I want to enjoy that 780 to its fullest so i cant just game in 1080p. but the system is about to put me in the poor house as it is :P  and i don't really want to spend a whole bunch more money on a display. what are some of the best bang for your buck 1440p or even 1600p monitors.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Jake

Get a cheap korean monitor.
Kyle at awesome sauce news just did a review on one.

look up crossover or yamakasi 1440p monitors. they're pretty nice quality.

Folding for LTT since April 2016.

korean monitors in ebay is the way to go :)

try to get one with a matte screen if not out of your budget, they don't reflect as much.

 

there's also the Asus PB278 for $390, not sure of your budget but I'm personally saving up for this one:

I actually disagree. Clearly you have never played LoL or CS:GO. Large online gaming communities are bad. Regardless of platform. It comes with being huge. That said... XBone and PS4 online communities are pretty crap.

30Hz and 30FPs are not the same

Yeah ik, typo. I was just looking into korean monitors and I have Hz on the brain :P

Yeah I think that just comes with being huge, it makes the terrible people stand out more while you pay attention to nice people less.

In my experience Gary's mod is the worst. Lots of admin abuse and complete jerks in almost every server I have played on.

ASUS PB278Q is a real winner, you should find it prices upwards of $500 though.

not what i meant but some games do play at 1080 on consoles... shittly though i plan on 1080p gaming i just wanted to upgrade later because my graphics card has the capability to play games at 1440p and i realize i'm 14 i'm not trying to be that annoying young kid but i need to know this stuff because im building soon and this is the best information source... I was just making a joke and an uneducated one at that. sorry man

on topic: I love my PB278Q. if you can find one on ebay for cheap id pick one up. with that said I would seriously wait for a gsync or DP1.2a(freesync) version of that monitor.

 

off topic:

I don't play those 2 games for those very reasons(and because they are not very good IMO) but on console every single game is like that.  and that is the reason why I have not paid for XBL or even powered on my 360 in like 6 years.

I would say only playing 2 games with shitty community is impressive considering iv been gaming on PC for over 15 years now. I cant even think of a single 360 game I have played on XBL that was not full of douche bags. 

You seem to have missed the point. They have good communities, but the ton of trash that comes with being huge out-shines the good community.

It's fine..I mean for me, 1080p was a huge upgrade from my 1600x900p laptop and I plan on using it for a while. When 1440ps become the new 1080p then I'll upgrade. And yea, new consoles downgraded to shitty 720p.

P.S. I'm not much older than you but you gotta, you know, act a bit over-mature for your age and be responsible on the internet with 20/30/40 year olds.
