I'm in the market for two monitors, meeting the following requirements: Prospective Resolution: 3840 X 2160 Size: 27/28 inches Aspect Ratio: 16 : 9 Adaptive Sync: GSync Other Features: True HDR would be nice From a reliable brand - likely to see 10+ hrs use a day VESA 80x80 or 100x100 (i have a dual monitor arm that only supports these mounting options) Inbuilt USB C hub for my Macbook - though can get one elsewhere and mount it behind my monitor Usage Type: Gaming (2-3 hrs a day) General Productivity (I am a software engineer, 7-8 hrs a day) Other notes: UK based so some monitors e.g. Innocn 27m2v are not available Current thinking: LG Ultragear 27GR39U-B Computex was just on, and there wasn't really much announced that meets this spec, while it was on LG quietly announced the 27GR93U-B. A lot of buying guides recommend it's predecessor - the discontinued LG 27GP950-B. I've been informed LG usually has pretty good build quality? I'll be using this for many years, daily for 10+ hrs - I want something that will last. Cooler master Tempest GP27U I've seen good reviews of this (Rtings), and understand it had firmware issues at release, which are now addressed. But there appears to be an ongoing flicker issues? Though I can avoid that through disabling the combination of HDR and Adaptive Refresh Rate? I'm leaning towards it, but not really sure about it given the "beta like" nature of the product described on other sites, and not sure about the longevity of a cooler master monitor.

Hi, I'm building a new pc and I've finished the hard part of choosing parts but now I need a to choose a new monitor and I can't decide what monitor I should get I have few options if you guys can help me to choose and I'll be glad to see your opinions about your choice I'm searching a 1440p 240 above monitor that is enough for me and that what I found: M27Q X LG 32GQ850-B EX270QM XG27AQMR PG27AQDM Thank you for all your help.

Hey everyone, I'm in need of some serious help combatting ignorance, arrogance, and stinginess at work when it comes to monitors. The Background & Story I got authorization to get new monitors for myself at work. This came after being stuck with some old recycled Dell 21.5" (1080x1920) (that were bought well over a decade ago), I've been suffering from extremely bad headaches, migraines, and sore muscles (bad posture to compensate to use the monitors); finally my supervisor had me do an ergonomic evaluation. They were not happy that I was using such small monitors nor the fact that they were not adjustable (I have them stacked on boxes for height), they recommended that I get larger and better monitors. (Along with a desk that is not 25 year old and desk chair to match.) So I set out looking for new monitors that were somewhere in the neighborhood of ~27-30" (3840x2160) monitors. I found several that were brighter, had better contrast, etc. for around the $360; which to me is not a bad price. I write a report and send it off to the uppers so they can order the displays. This is where things take a turn. For the worst. The response I got was pretty infuriating. They said that anything over 24" in size and/or greater than 1080x1920 in resolution is not considered ergonomic, thus are not acceptable. They then sent me the info and ordering sheet for a monitor that will be ordered instead. Needless to say at this point I am extremely annoyed about the whole thing. The monitor is a ViewSonic VG2448, 24", 1080x1920, which the contracted price for us is $340. Now I'm in the situation that I either get stuck with these monitors for the. Well next eternity. Or if I can find enough sources and studies about UHD monitors, PPI, and screen size, etc. I can actually force them to update their ergonomic standards. This would be amazing for all my coworkers as we are so tired of being handed fourth rate products because, it's what a disconnected 65YO ordering manager thinks what is acceptable. More than half of my office work is working in ArcMap or Arc Pro, along with a lot of reading, excel, and data work. I've spent several hours looking for research papers on ergonomics in regards to ppi, resolution, screen size, etc. and I have come up with mostly nothing. If anyone has some solid sources or anything I can use to bolster my argument I would serious appreciate it. I'm tired of coming home sore, with a migraine, and having to sleep my evening & night away to get relief. TLDR: Got told at work to order new monitors. Sent an order up for some 3840x2160 monitors. Got told anything over 24" screen size and/or more than 1080 is not ergonomic thus not allowed. Was told the only acceptable monitor an overpriced 24" 1080 ViewSonic panel. Only way to stop this madness is to force them to acknowledge that "Ergonomic" is not and does not stop at 24" 1080x1920. P.S. First time poster, long time lurker. I'm in need of some help, I can't take the apathy, ineptitude, and technological illiteracy of my upper management. Go easy on me, I'm dying over here.

Hi, so this has been bothering me for a while now but I really want a tv that has hot-swappable cards for everything including the power supply. On top of having an open source tv os experience, I don’t need my tv to be smart. I have an Apple TV that can do it for me. I just want to be able to purchase a 55 inch monitor then plug in my power supply, HTML ports, and more. Then have a seamless experience. if I need to update or calibrate the tv then guess what I either flash it on a usb or do it wirelessly with a button toggle to allow it.

i want to buy a laptop as my main pc but dock it when im home to a 3 monitor setup. anyone knows if that configuration ( the title) is possible out of a single thunderbolt 4 dock? edit: the laptop image represents the laptop that made me think about all this.

I am looking to upgrade my monitor, 144hz Zowie XL2311P, for a monitor that is at least 240hz. I just want it to be 24", 1080p, at least 240hz, good response time, and great motion clarity non of that ghosting stuff. I am stepping away from TN monitors since I heard IPS monitors can match TN monitors now in refresh, response and motion blur plus the better image quality. VA panels I'd rather avoid because I did have a few 144hz VA monitors in the past and they all had obvious ghosting whenever I play darker games, motion clarity on VAs back then did not even compare to TNs but I heard they are better now but if you are used to TNs better motion clarity you will notice, at least from what I heard. I have a list of available monitors in the store where I live but I just cannot decide what to get or if they actually differ that much. I can forgive color quality and viewing angles because I come from a TN monitor and I will mostly be gaming and looking at white a white screen for work but I just can't take ghosting in game and poor motion quality or motion blur. I need the higher refresh rate because I play a lot of competitive FPS like csgo and valorant. I will post screenshots of the monitors available to me and the pricing is in Philippine Pesos. How does the cheapest compare to the most expensive one? Is there a brand to avoid or one that is infamous for ghosting or smearing? Personal experiences with any of these monitors? Is the jump from 240hz to 390hz worth the almost $100 price jump? Or are the features really worth the extra cash? I just really want something that is plug-and-play and is at par with my current Zowie monitor in terms of motion blur/clarity but at a higher refresh rate. I know I am asking a shit ton of questions, lol, but hey if you have steam or into csgo I could trade you a skin or two for the help.

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a 4k monitor for gaming but the specs and prices are all over the place.

My initial options are: $489 Acer Predator XB283K KVbmiipruzx 28" UHD 3840 x 2160 Agile-Splendor IPS PC & Console Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium/G-SYNC Compatible | 144Hz | 1ms | 1xUSB Type-C, 1xDP 1.4, 2xHDMI 2.1 & 4xUSB $500 Gigabyte M28U-AE Arm Edition 28" 144Hz 2160P UHD KVM Monitor para Juegos, visualización IPS 3840 x 2160 4k SS IPS, Tiempo de Respuesta de 1ms (GTG), 94% DCI-P3, HDR Ready, FreeSync Premium Pro Anyway thanks guys!

My Guess Is Power Issues With His GPU Other Than That Idk, He Does Have A Underpowered PSU For His System That Caused His Pc To Trip O.C Protection When Playing Certain Games (Which He's Going To Replace soon(tm), His Spec's Are, CPU: Ryzen9 5900x, GPU: RTX 3070 8Gb, Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk, RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 X 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) C16

Hello, I have an issue where the bottom part of the screen is cut off/flcikers when refresh rate is 144hz. Everything works ok on 120hz. GPU is rtx 2060 zotac Monitor is aoc 27G2G4 The cable I'm using to connect GPU and monitor is DisplayPort. You can see the issue on the first image what it looks like. Funny part is - it is able to render everything ok when the background is light (shown in the video), even on 144hz. What could be the issue, the monitor or the GPU? Or something completely different? 346933879_6562212837130741_4539880826379438538_n.mp4

Budget (including currency): £1000 (flexible, laptops already purchased) Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Laptop is going to be used mainly for esports titles like Valorant, CSGO and LoL. Maybe the odd triple A but not gunning for super high frames on those, happy with 60+ Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): This is the real kicker. I'm trying to figure out how to set this up and what things I would need to buy. I work from home, with a work-provided laptop. I also game on a laptop but plugged into a 144hz monitor. The monitor's getting old and I miss having a 3 monitor set up from back when I PC gamed. In an ideal world, I would want my work laptop on the left, 3 monitors in the middle (with the central one being 1440p 144hz, others don't matter too much), and my 'gaming' laptop on the right. Currently, I have to swap all the cables over every time I finish work. I'm sure there must be something out there that I can switch at the press of a button but my google attempts have been unsuccessful. The biggest conundrum for me really has been how to get the monitors all hooked up. My work laptop is a ThinkBook 14 G2 ARE (2 x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (1 needed for power), 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 1x HDMI(unsure the version)). My gaming laptop is an Acer Nitro 5 n22c1 (1x Thunderbolt 4, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2). It's just the 3 monitors (one 144hz1440p, others just aesthetically pleasing could even be 60hz wouldn't matter), whatever dock(s) might be needed, and how to route everything that I'm having trouble with. Thanks in advance guys!

I just had an issue with my system where all my monitors lost signal for about 30 seconds. The Computer kept running (Music also kept playing) and my monitors are now right back to normal Tho all programs closed down when they came back now im concerned on what happened or caused this ? my System is Ryzen 5800x msi rtx 3070ti 32Gb Gskill

Hello everyone! In the past few days I have been surfing the internet searching on which two monitors to buy and I cannot decide among all of the available choices.My budget is around 400€.I like playing games like TLOU and Valorant.I also study computer science in university and I code very often.Last but not least,Iam looking for 27" max. Thank you for your time.

I have the RX 6700 XT paired with a 24" 1080p, 144Hz Freesync Premium monitor (TN panel, SDR) that I purchased in 2017. With my budget of $250 (and under) I'm wondering if I should upgrade to: 1) A newer 24" 1080p, 165Hz IPS or VA monitor 2) A 27" 1440p, 144Hz IPS or VA monitor 3) Forget upgrading altogether and keep Old Faithful Note that both (1) and (2) comes with Freesync Premium and HDR technologies. I should also mention that I have no problem maintaining 144 FPS while gaming. What advice would you give and why?

This has been happening for the last 3 weeks and whenever I'm playing a game my monitors will turn off and all my fans ramp up but I can still hear audio like my friends in discord and they can here me (it also happened when I was doing a bench mark but only one time and not again) I've tried different DisplayPort slots on my GPU and it still happens I've also did a clean install of my drivers and its still happing I've been monitoring my CUP and GPU temps and my CPU got a high of 60°C and my GPU at 75°C when I'm playing and then my monitors shut off and the problem starts again I built this PC three years ago and the only upgrade I've made was my CPU cooler its been on my rig for 4 month and its been fine (Idk if that could be the problem) PC SPECS power supply. Seasonic FOCUS GM-750, 750W motherboard. gigabyte x570 ud CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3800x CPU cooler. h100i elite (newly added) GPU. RTX 2080 super GPU drivers. NVIDIA 431.41 Operating system. Windows 10 Home 22H2 Bios. F11

Hi everyone. So as the title says, I ran into a scary sight on my monitor today. IMG_3297.MOV Thankfully when I woke it up after it entered rest mode, the monitor was working as normal, but I’m still concerned about my computer’s workings. A similar thing has also happened before, with bright pixels taking up half the screen, and the other half being black, so I’m concerned that this will continue to happen after today if not fixed. I would appreciate any help you all can offer. Thanks in advance.

Well… the title. I am getting a new 3060ti and I wanted a high refresh rate 1080p monitor. Prices are as follows 370€ Alienware aw2521hf 1080p 240hz 320€ Dell s2522hg 1080p 240hz 370€ Dell s2722dgm 1440p 165 hz So these are the only ones that reasonable and/or avaliable so I am trying to stick to these 3. I guess my question is if the s25 and aw25 are the same monitor just with the bells and whistles of alienware added and if its worth it going for the 1440p 165hz even if my 3060ti probably cant ever hit that. For reference my build is 13400f 32gb 3600 3060ti and mainly will be used for: coding, kali linux, league of legends, valorant and horror games(maybe the va better for horror?)

Looking to buy a new monitor and found a quite a few. They all have the same refresh rate (165hz) and response time with the only difference being panel type. I just wanna know what are the differences between VA and IPS.

I'm looking to buy a cheap 27In 1440p monitor as a secondary display, so I'm not too worried about the refresh rate or pannel type, I'm just wondering what kind of cheap option are out there. USB Type-C/Thunderbolt display input is a plus, but not necessary. I'd also like something VESA mountable. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey LTT forum! I have came here to ask what monitor would you prefer on buying? A IPS or VA panel? Here are the links to the 2 candidate monitors: IPS 170Hz - https://www.amazon.com/VG27AQ1A-Monitor-Supports-Compatible-DisplayPort/dp/B08CZ8QJTX?th=1 VA 165Hz - https://www.amazon.ca/Asus-VG27WQ1B/dp/B088MKHW7M?th=1 Yes, they are both ASUS, and i dont really care for the 5Hz difference, i just want to know which is better for both gaming and acting as a workstation. Thanks!

Budget (including currency): ~1,500 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games and Work. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Looking for monitor upgrade. Anyone get the ROG Swift PG42UQ OLED Monitor? Still liking it or is there another that you think is better?

Hello there, I've been looking for a new monitor for photo editing for a while. I have a favorite, which is the Viewsonic VP2768-A but it is a bit above my price range. By chance i found out that Viewsonic has another monitor with seemingly almost the same specs: the VP2756-2K. Now the latter is a good bit cheaper but i could not find out why that is. I hope someone can help me out here. As i have some other monitors in sight, it would be good to know if the cheaper VP2756-2K is better than the my other alternatives.Thanks a lot in advance! My price range as a German: 300-400€. The VP2756-2K is about 370€ here, while the VP2768-A usually has a price about 470€. That's quite the difference. My alternatives for a 27" WQHD Monitor used for photo editng, with good color accuracy, ideally without PWM, secondly used for gaming: LG 27QN880-B (~340€) Asus PA278QV (~320€) Asus PA278CV (~390€) BenQ PD2705Q (~370€)

I've been wanting to get a new monitor thats cheap but also has high refresh rate so I've found this new red dragon azur one and i'm kind of confused and scared about buying it, can any of you help me out?

Hello there! I have an Acer Aspire 7 A715-51G and I got a new monitor (Viewsonic XG2405-2) to use as my main display but I can't seem to make 144Hz work with this monitor. Can only get up to 120Hz on my new monitor when I use my laptop. The laptop itself supports 144Hz, has HDMI 2.1 input, and the integrated display works with 144Hz with no problem. I tried the same monitor with the same HDMI 1.4 cable with my desktop and it worked, but no luck getting 144Hz with the laptop. The laptop only has 1 HDMI port and a spare TYPE-C/Thunderbolt port I can use for my monitors. Depending on what we find out, I'm either getting a display port adapter for this monitor or an HDMI adapter for my other monitor. Any help is appreciated!

I've been using two monitors for a while now, main is 1440p and secondary is 1080. I just finished parting out my new build and started thinking about getting a new 1440p OLED display. So far I've only seen one 2560 x 1440 display by LG; the 27GR95QE-B which based on the one review I saw by The Display Guy, I feel like I should avoid it. Than I remembered about ultra-wides and now I'm wondering if I can get the same kind of dual screen functionality out of an ultra-wide. PS: I'm gonna be running a 4080 on water, so not having enough power isn't really gonna be an issue

I have included a link to the page on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-G24qe-20-2022-Monitor-FreeSync-Certified/dp/B0B94M8681?th=1 Monitor has an IPS display, is 1440p, 100Hz all for $180 USD
