Posted September 19, 2020 Best monitor below 500 euros? My pc consists of a rx 5700 xt and a ryzen 5 3600 (so I think 1440p 144hz is the way to go?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 19, 2020 1440p 144hz fits in your budget easily. dell has a new monitor in that range, the S2721DGF. has one of the best panels on the market, shared with the nano IPS panels from LG (the dell isnt "nano IPS" but that doesnt matter). was on sale for like 350 or so a few weeks ago, great deal and people rave about that panel. i'd have gotten that if i didnt recently get a great deal on an acer xb271hu off of this site's classifieds. that's also a fine panel, though its an older model with a proper g sync module and wouldnt work with the 5700xt for adaptivve sync. ultrawides may fit in your budget too if you fancy that. topics i need help on: Spoiler my "oops i bought intel right before zen 3 releases" build CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (placeholder) GPU: Gigabyte 980ti Xtreme (also placeholder), deshroud w/ generic 1200rpm 120mm fans x2, stock bios 130% power, no voltage offset: +70 core +400 mem Memory: 2x16gb GSkill Trident Z RGB 3600C16, 14-15-30-288@1.45v Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S w/ white chromax bling OS Drive: Samsung PM981 1tb (OEM 970 Evo) Storage Drive: XPG SX8200 Pro 2tb Backup Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 4TB PSU: Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium 750W w/ black/white Cablemod extensions Case: Fractal Design Meshify C Dark (to be replaced with a good case shortly) basically everything was bought used off of reddit or here, only new component was the case. absolutely nutty deals for some of these parts, ill have to tally it all up once it's "done" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 19, 2020 There's a pinned post at the top of this forum that could be pretty helpful. The short version is that if you want an empirically tested monitor, you have to go to a dedicated review site such as https://www.rtings.com/. Anything else you find will just be someone's subjective opinion which you may or may not agree with. If you peruse the site, you might find something like this rollup of good 1440p monitors. Chances are you will not be disappointed with any of their picks. #Muricaparrotgang Folding@Home Stats | Current PC Loadout: Small Bigger Biggerer Biggest Fractal Design Focus G NZXT H1 Lian LI O11 Dynamic XL Fractal Design Meshify C FX-8320 Ryzen 3 3200G Ryzen 5 3600 Ryzen 7 3700X 120mm AIO 120mm AIO Custom 280mm loop Noctua NH-D15 A motherboard ASRock B450 mobo MSI x570 mobo MSI x570 mobo 16gb DDR3 16gb DDR4 @ 3200 16gb DDR4 @ 3200 16gb DDR4 @ 3600 a melange of HDDs/SSDs WD 1tb m.2 WD 500gb m.2 WD 1tb m.2/2tb HDD PNY GTX 1070 x2 GTX 1070 GTX 1070 FE MSI RTX 2080 TI some 650w PSU 650W SFX-L 80+ Gold MSI RTX 2080 Super EVGA SuperNova 750w 80+ GOLD Corsair RM850x 80+ GOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeSync/G-Sync have worked great for me -- basically eliminating screen tearing. If you don't like it, you can turn it off, too. #Muricaparrotgang Folding@Home Stats | Current PC Loadout: Small Bigger Biggerer Biggest Fractal Design Focus G NZXT H1 Lian LI O11 Dynamic XL Fractal Design Meshify C FX-8320 Ryzen 3 3200G Ryzen 5 3600 Ryzen 7 3700X 120mm AIO 120mm AIO Custom 280mm loop Noctua NH-D15 A motherboard ASRock B450 mobo MSI x570 mobo MSI x570 mobo 16gb DDR3 16gb DDR4 @ 3200 16gb DDR4 @ 3200 16gb DDR4 @ 3600 a melange of HDDs/SSDs WD 1tb m.2 WD 500gb m.2 WD 1tb m.2/2tb HDD PNY GTX 1070 x2 GTX 1070 GTX 1070 FE MSI RTX 2080 TI some 650w PSU 650W SFX-L 80+ Gold MSI RTX 2080 Super EVGA SuperNova 750w 80+ GOLD Corsair RM850x 80+ GOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 19, 2020 11 minutes ago, Cedri said: Samsung C32HG70 (or 27" model) ASUS TUF VG27AQ Samsung has problems with dark transition times resulting in ghosting in dark scenes. Otherwise it's pretty solid monitor. Asus is overall good pick if you don't mind the low contrast and worse black uniformity. You can also see if these two fit in your budget, they should go for 500-550€. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gl850-b https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/aorus-fi27q And here are two suggestions for around 400€. Pixio might not available in your country though. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/pixio/px7-prime https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gl83a-b And if you still cannot decide what to buy, here's a table tool to help you narrow down your selection.

Best is subjective as the Asus, LG 850 and Gigabyte all have small differences. So it really depends on what you are looking for in a monitor. Pixio and LG 83a are slightly worse, but cheaper. So if budget is tight or you don't need the benefits you get with the more expensive monitors they are good picks also. If you don't want to compare the monitors by reading, you can also use this tool Rtings provide. I don't like it personally as it removes the reviewer comments, but it can be good tool for quick comparisions or if you understand what the numbers mean. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
