1080p high refresh display

Hey guys im about to upgrade my little 60hz monitor, I was looking at this one in particular https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078P2XN9M/?coliid=I3O0SN8RL7XJBC&colid=1DX9SE3N0GDW0&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

was wondering if you guys knew if this is a good monitor or not,as well as any of you guys' suggestions, im looking to stay close to 150-175 dollar range, but pretty flexible.

Yeah for price range it's ok and definitely better than 60Hz display.

usual i say stick with monitors that have been reviewed and tested only. However at that price range any monitor u get will have some serious flaws and very very few are tested.

 

Dont trust specs, especially response time, but ,again, in that budget range the only thing u can go by is specs, so at the very least get one that u can easily rely on the after sales support, so if u dont like it u can easily without hassle get ur money back.

yeah i know i gota have a few compromises, but i found some good reviews on youtube, a few mins ago 

they did some good testing so i sprung for it 

hopefully will be okay, or at least better than the refurbished 60hz acer im currently using

Be warned the factory calibration of that panel is bad.

Hope u have a colorimeter/spectrometer ..or have a friend that has one so u can calibrate it, at the very least ur going to want to eyeball it using something like the lagom test page.

HU does have a ICC profile available that may be useful however.

 

In regards to response time. There newer test is similar to tftcentral, and while they dont mention the specific data point measurement they use, e.g if its a 100% measurement or 10-90% like tftcentral. I suspect based on their VA response times its not a 0-100% data point as their results are way to fast for that. it is still very much more informative however.

Your particular monitor seems 'ok' though im personally more used to comparing vs rtings method which ends up being far harsher in regards to response times as it is a full 0 to 100% target measurement that includes the time it takes to recover from overshoot.

 

 

Still, hope it works out well for you.

yeah should be fine, im not really a hardcore fast paced fps gamer or anything like that, mostly league of legends, rpg's, occasionally some battlefield, etc. im also pretty budget limited, so long as this thing is better than my refurbished 60hz 40 dolla ebay screen ill be happy
