Looking for Monitor up to 27"(~340$)

[Gamdschiee]

Hello guys!

 

I am new to this forum and I hope you can help me to find the right monitor for my use. I want to buy a new PC-system in a few weeks. I'll probably buy the new Xeon-Skylake, that will coming up in September. Additionally I want a new monitor. My old LG w2242 only has a resolution of 1680x1050, I'll us it as a second monitor for skype, facebook and so on.

 

A few information you need to know:

- size: 24"-27"

- WQHD(1440p) for the R9 390 8GB Nitro

- price: ~340$ or ~300€

- I am only playing open world RPG's like Witcher 3, GTAV, the upcoming MGS: Phantom Pain and someetimes the campagne-mode of ego-shooter games like CoD and BF, but never multiplayer-shooter.

- I am from Europe - Austria (maybe it is important to know for the availability of the suggested monitors)

- I have following suggestion: Dell u2515

 

Is the Dell u2515 the best option for me and will the R9 390 8GB Nitro get along with it? Will I can play future games(in 1-2 years) between HIGH and Ultra with best AA etc.? In 2 years I'll buy a new graphic card and then these cards will be able to fully manage WQHD-monitors.

 

What do you say this all?

 

Sincerely,

Gamdschiee

Personally I would get this > BenQ GW2765HT

The Dell U2515H is great monitor, my friend has one and I'm currently saving up to get the 27" version, the colors are really nice and the bezels are super thin on it but it doesn't have the best response time when compared to some of the gaming monitors but I doubt you would notice it anyway.

 

With 1440p you don't need to use as much AA if any since it's a higher resolution but I think the 390 should be alright for the next 2 years.

1440p should be fine for you for a couple years, you don't need to use the best AA settings when you're at 1440p btw! You can lower them down a lot and it will still look amazing thanks to the higher resolution.

 

As for the monitor, the Dell U2515 would be a great pic if it comes into your budget. Very sexy thin bezels, and the IPS Panel will look stunning, much better than a TN. 

Despite what some people may say, the Dell U2515 actually has a great response time, and low input lag so it is great for gaming, Dell just don't tend to advertise their monitors to gamer, but in reality they are great. The Dell ultrasharp line is one of the only ones now a days that tend to quote their G2G response time to what you will actually get in real life. 

 

The only reason I'd look at a different monitor at 1440p 60Hz would be if you needed something a bit cheaper. A great alternative in a similar price range would be the Asus PB258Q.

 

Here is a good detailed reviews of the Dell:

Oh good the test says for the DELL: Good response times and low lag But it doesn't have DVI and VGA? VGA is pretty old, but i thought DVI is the new one? How can I connect my graphic-card with the monitor?

 

You said the Asus PB258Q is cheaper then the DELL u2515h? Here in Europe(Austria), I can get this DELL totally NEW for only ~290€(~330USD). Is it more expensive in USA etc.? The Asus costs ~400USD, but the Dell is better then the Asusi, right?

Am I right, that response time is only important for multiplayer-shooter, where you need very fast changes on the display?

This monitor is too expensive(~400USD), sadly. What is so special on this monitor? Bigger and 4ms response time?

I could get this as a "shop demonstration model" for ~370USD, but I think that's a bad idea, isn't?

This monitor is also too expensive. I only can get this in Europe(Austria) for round about 400USD. I think TFT-panel is not so good as ISP, right?

 

Hmm one thing I need to talk about: There are some monitors from south korea, that can be overclocked to 80-100Hz. E.g. following: www.ebay.com/itm/CrossOver-2795QHD-2560xa1440-LG-AH-IPS-Non-Glare-27-Monitor-/321837269807?hash=item4aeeff032f

What do you say about it? Is it the risk worth to get a oc-monitor, 27", same isp-panel like dell and cheaper etc.? But there are some risks like dead pixel etc. - What do you guys say about such monitors?

[Guest Strangerbob]

I suggest you check out the lg 29um67. Its 300 EUR/$ ... 75hz + freesync IPS widescreen. Gaming would be very enjoyable on that.

DisplayPort is the best connector to use

And the Asus is a similar price here in the uk, but for you if the Dell is cheaper 100% get it over the Asus, they perform about the same. If they were both the exact same price I'd probably still get the Dell.

[Gamdschiee]

Ok thank you, then I will take the Dell!

 

But can someone say what is the difference between the dell and the Crossover 2795QHD? Is it worth to buy the Crossover to have da bigger monitor and 30-40 more of hz?
