    acls86 got a reaction from Airjarhead in 2017 iMac (Radeon 580) vs. Custom PC (+Monitor)   
    Well, I'm using the new 2017 5k iMac with i5 and radeon pro 580. I'm just a casual gamer, but I know what I would get with a high end gaming pc. My last one was i7 7700k and 1080ti.
    I just could not give up the 5k screen and whats more important, MacOS. If this matters to you, you have no alternatives.
     
    For gaming I bought an external USB 3.1 SSD (Samsung t3), installed Windows 10 and there we go. I can play anything on high and ultra with a resolution of 1440p, the 5k screen scales superb with 1440p. Temperature in AAA games are around 85°C on CPU and GPU. Fan is not audible on desktop use, in games you can clearly hear the air (wushhh) but nothing like a low quality fan noise.
     
    So much less cables!

    If you need Gsync, ultrawide and over 60hz for sure! But you can't compare the screen quality. I had the x34, z35p and acer biggest one XR382CQK. The iMac screen is sooooo much better even if scaled down to 1440p in games, but as said only 27", 60hz and 16:9. No features, just screen quality.

    acls86 got a reaction from MrAlbertrocks in Acer XB271HU quality   
    picked up two of them last weak. manufacture date of both is january 2016. both are perfect, no dead pixels, no blb, no glow. had the older 144hz from asus aswell as the new one with 165. cant compare asus to acer, acer is waaaayyy better in display quality.
    the little bit glow or blb I maybe can see seems to be silver and not yellow

    acls86 got a reaction from Omon_Ra in 40 inch users! Is it too big or just right?   
    I tried 34" 21:9, 2x 27", 2x 4k 32" and 4k 40".
     
    Love the screen screen real estate of 4k 40". Can't go smaller anymore. After having some time with 40" I tried it with one single 32", way too small. I play all my games in a ~30" window and love it to be still on the desktop and not to have to tab out. Two screens just gave me to much trouble with fullscreen on one and something alse on the other, no fun at all..
    youtube and movies are godlike, so nice to lean back and have a big screen. The scaling is perfekt, you can just stay at default 100%.
     
    Dell is going to relase one 43" soon, maybe I will look into it.

    acls86 got a reaction from Pothoffin in 144Hz, IPS, <5ms lag, 27 inch. Anyone besides Asus/Acer?   
    I had them all. Predator, Swift. Ordered four of the 34" Predator Ultra-Wide, sended them all back.
    You cant compare this crap to the eizo one. Mine has zero issues to complain about and nearly no IPS glow.

    acls86 got a reaction from LinQ in Acer X34 wait is killing me man   
    Well, sorry for my bad english then..
     
    My previous one was the LG 34UM95.
     
    Acer X34 got way less glow, just a little bit in the left corner. Zero dead pixels. Gsync is great, but I have to say its my first gsync display. Refresh rate in games is always between 85 and 97hz (sometimes 100hz, am using a gtx980), for that you need to enable the overclocking in the OSD menu (there is a slider from min. 75hz up to max. 100hz).
     
    Those ambilight LEDs got 5 colors  and a Monitor-Status mode aswell as the modes fixed/flashing/ripple/breathing, you can turn them off aswell. You can adjust the LED-Brightness from 1-5.
     
    The menu is a little bit tricky to use, but over time I get used to it more and more..
     
    There is zero operating noise and he stays pretty cool, my LG was way warmer after some gaming.
