most valuable build recommendation

[Guest Strangerbob]

Best thing you can do 4 yourself is make a working gsync/freesync loop on an IPS/VA monitor.

 

 - Meaning a gsync monitor with a gsync supporting videocard. Will make gaming actually enjoyable instead of an endless struggle.

 

And IPS/VA monitor because TN (or unspecified) is utter garbage and will be a disappointment no matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise. Before you speak of response times - should find out what they are - the sticky in Display section is very informative.

 

(Spoiler alert - has nothing to do with the responsiveness, and everything to do with motion blur, and no human would tell the difference - its a marketing scam to label things "gaming" and rip you off because you have no clue. Not to mention the advertised numbers are 100% bullshit, just like contrast ratio)

 

 

 

If you wish to make a 1000$+ build to then use on some crappy small TN monitor - feel free. I just pity the complete waste of a system due to forgetting the most important part of a gaming build.

"Crappy TN Monitor" Isnt the XL2430T TN, and still is comparable to some IPS Monitors?

And also, the point of this topic is?

My crappy TN monitor is not small! (or crappy)

And IPS/VA monitor because TN (or unspecified) is utter garbage .

 

I use a VA panel as my main monitor, it is slower than a TN but faster than IPS and as I always (never say always) sit more or less straight on to the monitor whilst using the computer the (undetectable to my eyes at sensible angles) colour shift is a non-event. Perhaps on a TN it would be very noticeable.

 

   I do not understand Linus' apparent severe dislike of off-angle viewing colour change. Perhaps if you are looking at the monitor over an editor's shoulder.... , but once set up surely the viewing angle doesn't vary that much.

You dont have to take a short cut and hear my recommendation.

 

You`ll either learn this stuff yourself the hard way eventually or you`ll slowly grow tired of PC gaming entirely (because you`ll be making discomfort for yourself without realizing it).
