Looking for a monitor for Gaming + 3D/Art

[Satish Suthar]

Hello there, folks.

 

So I've been using my PC with my IPS display of Dell S2240L since 2014 now. The panel now seems to have been messing up, there's a permanent green line going straight down on the panel that looks really weird, but I've been putting up with it for a few months now.

It's not too thick to block much of my vision on whatever it is that I'm doing.

 

Although, now's also the time for me to upgrade/get a second screen, my main goal is 3D Modeling and do all the arts work. My choice right now is a Dell UltraSharp 25" (U2518D) it's available for about 33k INR which is 460-500$USD

But, I have to mention I also game a lot and I am really attracted towards gaming monitors for their higher refresh rates, the drawback is the TN panel, I think if I'm doing arts, with the color sensitive work, I should stick with IPS?

 

I want to keep my current monitor, and if possible, maybe have its panel replaced, some computer repairing guy said that could be done but idk if it's going to be the real deal? The price for replacing it wasn't that high at least to me [it was about 50$), so I don't know if it's going to affect the quality of the monitor compared to the original panel that it came with.

So anyway, I'll keep the current monitor and have it as my secondary screen I'd use for references etc as I work on the new primary monitor that's supposed to be better.

 

TL;DR : My budget is 500$ and I wanna know if it's possible to get a gaming monitor with good display for art work as well as higher refresh rates or if I should stick with IPS and 60Hz monitor and if Dell UltraSharp 25" (U2518D) is a good idea?

 

Lemme know!

Nope, that seems to be exclusively available in UK or at least for the most part, here, we got some ACER and Asus and BenQ and Dell monitors that mostly dominate the market.

The sites I usually look for these are :

www.theitdepot.com

www.primeabgb.com

www.mdcomputers.in

www.vedantcomputers.com

www.amazon.in

It's cheaper than what I was looking for, compared to others. It's around 360$USD but is it a good one? In the comments they show some backlight bleed issues and it's not IPS either. Say I increase my budget a little more and Acer Predator XB271HU is what I could go with, how does that sound?

https://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/predator-model/UM.HX1EE.005

It's available for 650$USD and I may get it at around 600$ by some 50$ discount.

I see, also, I just came across this one :

https://www.amazon.in/Acer-Nitro-VG271U-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B07N41RNX7/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=ips+144hz&qid=1565034074&s=computers&sr=1-4

How about this one? It's in the budget and seems to be 1ms and 144Hz too. With an IPS display.

Great! Seems fine to me too I'll look into it more. This one seemed a really good find and I wonder how well it'll perform

Haha, yep! Also, if I may ask for some help :

What'd be the difference b/w the two?

https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/UM.HV1AA.P01

and
https://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/model/UM.HX2EE.P01

 

The second option is a bit expensive but still in the budget and what I noticed was that the color gamut for it says 95% DCI-P3

While the first one says 100%sRGB

the dci p3 color space is alot bigger then the srgb one so having almost 95% is very good and alot better then only having 100% srgb

That really sounds good to me because I'm now thinking of just ordering the second one

https://www.amazon.in/Acer-Nitro-XV272U-IPS-Monitor/dp/B07SHPJJZR/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=acer+144hz&qid=1565035648&refinements=p_36%3A3000000-5500000&rnid=1318502031&s=computers&sr=1-5

It's only 1 available in stock so I guess I should be going for it soon
