I need help, I was planning on saving up for a gaming laptop (since I am more mobile with my things) and wanted an opinion as to what I should buy. I thought of saving up for the new Razer Blade 2016 laptop since I heard its very good for gaming. Would this be a good purchase or is there a better suggestion? Also, with the laptop should I get a monitor? if yes, which would be recommended and if not then okay. Thank you very much...

Hey so i need some help finding some monitors that are mountable, What I'm really looking for is one 2k monitor, preferably IPS with refresh rate at 60hz being fine. Then i'm looking for another two smaller 1080p monitors also preferably IPS with refresh rate not mattering again. Thank you for any help you can give, don't really have a set price range but around spending $600 all together is probably best.

Part 1: Hey guys, I'm trying to connect one monitor to two 16 port-kvm switches at the same time. Is it possible? Are kvm switches the best way to go? The computers I'm hooking up only have about 2-4GB Ram so I figured I wouldn't use software to do the connection job. Part 2: Also, what kind of Ethernet Switch setup should I think about? If I'm running 32 computers taht hook up to the internet what kind of router should I buy? How fast should my modem be? Thanks for your time and consideration. (I'll understand if you can't answer the Part 2 of the question seeing as how its not under this forum's topic.)

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what sort of ultrawide I should get. Honestly, this is the first time that I will be picking out a new monitor for my rig and I was wondering what sort of features are the most important for gaming. I normally don't play competitive titles so I'm looking for the best image quality for exploring games like Fallout 4 or Skyrim. My computer should be able to handle 3440 x 1440 so that shouldn't be a problem, but I also know that programs running in 1080 will appear fuzzy and less detailed even at the highest setting so I'd like to hear the experiences of people who actually had these issues. Bottom line, I'd like to hear the parts of a monitor that give the best gaming experience ranging from a curve, resolution, refresh rate, or freesync/ G-sync.

Hey there, I've gotten a kink in the coiled (telephone-style) wire of my beloved Sony MCR-7506. The kink is very high up the wire, close to the cans themselves. I've tried to untangle it a dozen times but only make it worse and then have to work to get it back to the original problem. I've attached some pictures. Anybody got a technique? Thanks.

Next year I will be building a skylake 6700k gaming computer with a TBD graphics card. I have no clue where to start when buying a monitor. G-Sync? V-Sync? Refresh Rates? Frequency? I understand all of these terms, and the many more that describe monitors; however, I don't know what aspects come into play in certain situations. For example, I'm not a competitive fps player, so do I really need a high refresh rate? I really don't know where to start comparing or looking for a monitor that I want and need. I play games mostly like rocket league, modded minecraft, League of Legends, DayZ, Skyrim, GTA. So, as you can see, I'm not in dire need of the fastest and best monitor for First Person Shooters, but I do want to take advantage of all the performance my GTX 1070 has to offer. Could you guys help point me in the right direction so I know how to start looking for monitors and what features to pay attention to. Thanks!!!!

Hi guys, so i bought a rig a bit over a year ago and as of yet haven't really needed to upgrade everything. i bought all the components for the tower and got my mouse and keyboard free with my GPU and my Motherboard respectively. This whole time I've been using a crappy TV which only outputs 50hz and I'm finally getting round to upgrading. I play a lot of fast pace games and watch a fair bit of sport so i want at least 120hz with a decent ms. (My rig will output way over 60 fps in certain games if you were wondering) I'm thinking about getting an Asus XB240H; https://www.scan.co.uk/products/24-acer-predator-xb240h-led-tn-panel-144hz-1920x1080-1ms-100m1-350cd-m-speakers-dp-hdmi-mhl-dvi-blac Just wondering if anybody knows of any 120Hz monitors that are any cheaper? Basically i dont want to pay more that £200, ideally more in the range of £150 so for you Americans lets just say under 200 dollars. Also I'm after a headset, I've got my mind set on a SteelSeries Siberia 200; https://www.scan.co.uk/products/steelseries-gaming-siberia-200-white-headset-50mm-drivers-integrated-volume-control-for-pc-ps4-xbox- Again I'm wondering if you know any that are a bit better for what i'm paying? i don't mind raising the price a little for this one. Thanks.

Hello! I am currently drastically looking around for a new monitor for my new build to come. Unfortunately living in Australia prices on hardware is very expensive, in this case with monitors. I'v been looking around in Australian stores and Newegg ( Aus ) for a: 27+ Inch G-sync 4k @ 60hz ( atleast. ) 5MS refresh rate ( or less ) IPS For the price equivalent too $750 United states Dollar. or about $980/1000 AUD So my question is, is it worth paying so much more for a monitor with g-sync with all of these specs? Is G-sync worth it compared to not having it ? Do the benefits justify the price difference between a non g-sync and g-sync monitor? Thats where i need you to help me, thanks in advance. Tpg

So I am currently designing a PC for my brother. He works at a fortune 500 company doing graphic design and various other things on his now 5-year-old computer. He has been saving so his budget is around two thousand give or take a couple hundred. I created a build on PC part picker (http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ggQMZ8) but the main question I have is whether he will need a better graphics card or more graphics cards to run 2 4k monitors at 60hz each. He mainly focusing on adobe applications, but he will be working with a couple 3d design apps as well as running aftereffects and some more intensive video and graphic design editors. He usually runs about 2-4 applications at once so that's also something to consider. His main concern is that with his current computer load times for boot up and opening applications are really slow. I think that an SSD will solve that but I don't know if anyone recommends an m.2 drive.

I'm looking for a nice budget (preferably under $200) VA monitor that works well for gaming. I recently purchased the HP 25xw, an IPS panel, and although the colors and gaming performance are great, the IPS glow is very noticeable (returning the monitor). This seems to be the case with most IPS monitors, so I'm looking into VA. I'd like to find something that I can get for under $200 that has a low enough response time that I don't experience ghosting. I know it seems like I'm asking for a lot on the budget that I have, but stuff like ghosting and glow, as well as tinted colors, are very noticeable to me.

So I am looking into purchasing a dual monitor mount to hold up my two Acer Predator XB271HU. Price wise I could do no more then 250 USD and I can't do a wall mount. Any suggestions? Please and Thanks

Okay... So I'm looking for a FHD (1920x1080) monitor with decent response time (under 15ms), okay refresh rate (60Hz and up, I mean most monitors nowadays are 60Hz and up right??) and a size of at least 19" ( the bigger the better, I was going for 21"-24", but that may be asking too much)... Any suggestions? Also, I would prefer if it is a new monitor, I kinda don't trust used ones. Thanks in advance.

I just built a pretty good new gaming PC and I can't decide on what size or ow many monitors I should get. Should I get 3x 27 inches or 2x or should i get 3x 24 inches or 2x or 2x 27 inches vs 3x 24 inches I seriously can't decide. Btw I mostly do gaming and graphic designing stuff,also I multitask a lot.

So I am so very close to pulling the trigger on a 1440p G-Sync monitor. It would be awesome to get an ultrawide but I think that's a bit ways off. So is 4K at the moment for me. Right now I'm using a Samsung SyncMaster P2770HD 1080p 60Hz 32" TV. It's good for console gaming but I cannot wait for the day that I don't have to keep VSync enabled on PC and I mainly game on PC these days anyways. I'm stuck though. Buy the monitor now or wait till near the end of the year for sales. Are there good sales on top tier monitors or do they usually keep the $600-$850 value/price? I am also unsure if I should buy it now or wait till I build a new rig sometime next year with an i7 and GTX 1080(or Ti), etc.. With Pascal should we expect some update to the g-sync technology or is it going to stay how it is for a while still? Monitors have been getting superb the past few years but it seems they are slowing down a bit. If I buy now then that will prolong when I will be able to build my new rig and there may be something better by that point as well. At the same time it's getting harder and harder to hold off on a 1440p G-Sync. My current rig won't like it very much though: i5 2500K, 8GB RAM, GTX 780, Samsung EVO 480 SSD and I don't want to incrementally upgrade anymore. I will have more frame dips playing on 1440p than what I currently have on 1080p but the G-sync will help with that and I won't have to worry about capping the frame rate with v-sync on Overwatch or whatever else. So I need some advice on what one or two good G-Sync monitors there are(I know ASUS ROG is pretty solid), and if I should hold back till end of year sales or closer to when I build my Pascal rig next year, or if it's pretty safe to purchase now. What do you think? Thanks for you input!

Currently I have a 390 nitro and an i5 4690k. Right now I have a really crappy 5ms response time ips 60 hz asus monitor. I play games like counterstrike and overwatch so I am wanting to get something a bit more fit for fps games. I have found a few monitors in my price range. 1. http://www.amazon.com/AOC-G2460PF-24-Inch-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B01BV1XBEI?ie=UTF8&keywords=144hz freesync&qid=1465269439&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1 2. http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-XL2411Z-Monitor-Supported-seamless/dp/B00ITORITU?ie=UTF8&keywords=benq gaming monitor&qid=1465268389&ref_=sr_1_5&s=pc&sr=1-5 3. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013CRPUBQ?psc=1 4. http://www.amazon.com/AOC-G2460PQU-Ultimate-Performance-Professional/dp/B00HY7PAUC?ie=UTF8&keywords=aoc 144 hz freesync&qid=1465268583&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2 BenQ is a really trusted brand I know that much but the other monitors have freesync which would be nice to have. What monitor would you recommend out of the four. Are nixeus and aoc good quality brands that I would be fine trusting. Or should I give up freesync for what I am assuming is better build quality overall with BenQ. Thanks for the recommendations!

Alright, I have an odd question here, and I'm sure someone here has the same as I do. I have 3 monitors all different sizes. 1 TV: Plasma, 42 inch 2 TV: LED, 23 inch 3 Monitor: LED, 20 inch They all run at 1920 by 1080 pixels. How can I get a wallpaper that spans across all the screens without it looking blurry on any of the monitors. Every time I try a 5670*1080 wallpaper and apply it, the wallpaper look very blurry on all the monitors, I even tried a triple 4k. Any ideas guys?

Am I the only one that finds it annoying how they call it "4k" the resolution is 3840x2160, which is indeed better but aren't all the other resolution names defined by the pixels in height? ex; 1080p, 720p, 480p, and so forth. But 4k gaming at decided do round up the 3840 pixels in width to what many may initially feel is 4000 pixels tall in a 16:9 ratio. Am I correct or am I just misinformed?

I’m going to get a GTX 1070, and I was wondering if G-Sync is required for a fully enjoyable experience? I was looking at getting the 24” Acer Predator Monitor (XB241H), but I kept reading that the difference between 1080p and 1440p is huge and I should invest in that. Then I started looking at the Dell S2716DG, but then I kept reading that TN’s colors are crap compared to IPS. So now we’re looking at spending nearly $700 which is a little outside of my price range. Then I kept reading that G-Sync isn’t really needed with 144Hz monitors. So my question is if I can’t afford something like an ASUS ROG Swift, what should I sacrifice? I don’t care if it’s 24” or 27” What should be my order of importance when choosing a monitor? For Example: 1440p > 144Hz > G-Sync > IPS. Or if I should REALLY squeeze my budget and get the whole 9 yards… I pretty much play many types of games from Overwatch, to Mirror’s Edge, to Civ V, to League of Legends, to Fallout 4, to Undertale…. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hey guys, I've decided to go for a QHD superwide and I am now torn between the Acer X34 and the ASUS ROG Swift PG348Q. From what I can tell they are more or less identical, with Asus being slightly more costly, albeit for better aesthetics. Which is better? Or is there a better choice than either of them? Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Hi, as the title suggests i'm looking for suggestions for monitor with good colour accuracy. I'm on a budget of around £150-£250. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I currently reside in Korea for multiple reasons, and I heard from Tek Syndicate that Korean monitors really give a good bang for the buck, and I plan on purchasing them. What's your experience? If you've used a 4k/1440p monitor from Korean manufacturers before, leave your experience, and your review below. And recommendations are appreciated.

Hello All, I will be helping design video editing stations for an upcoming class next year in the high school that I go to. I assume and we seem to have agreed that we will be shooting and editing in 4K. We have a significant amount of money to spend (I was hoping around $2000) on monitors for each station. I was primarily looking at one 4K monitor and 2 1440p ones, but the person from our tech dept. thought that we shouldn't get the 2 1440p ones due to cost. I was primarily looking at the Dell UP3216Q for our 4K monitor due to it being Dell's only 4K monitor with 10-bit color. For 1440p ones, I was looking at the U2515H. I have multiple questions: Is a 4K monitor necessary/good to have if you are editing 4K videos? Is offset between monitors of different sizes a problem, and if it is how can it be avoided? (difference in screen resolution causing the "edges" of the screens to not line up) Is 1 32 inch monitor large enough to edit efficiently? Would it be worth getting 1080p monitors instead of 1440p ones to save some money? Would 21:9 be a better aspect ratio than 16:9 for video editing? How can we layout monitor(s) for aesthetics and ease of use? Any other general recommendations for the design of our editing stations that you may have is also very welcome. Note: The people who I'm working with (who are staff) think that students will be editing in small groups (~5). How might that change the requirements/recommendations for monitors and layout?
