You should wait for the Iiyama G-Master Gold Phoenix and Silver Crow. I heard that those series of monitors from Iiyama are very good.

True, I am buying one 144hz pretty soon.

Give me a boost.

Which one? I can't find out how much Hz the Gold Phoenix has. I've searched everywhere but can't find that specific spec. Anyway I thought to also buy the two monitors from Red Eagle serie from Iiyama :)

Am I the only one whos fine with the old 15" 60hz monitor?..

i feel 15" a bit to small (just took a tape measure to my screen), but i'm perfectly fine with a 20" And doubt I'll ever get anything larger than 25". unless companies simply phase those sizes out of existence.

First I was like "sweet, a new video to start the day".

But then I realized that it's about 1AM in Surrey...

My god... I heard about this monitor when I was on my holidays and though to myself.. "Damn, I could afford this monitor if I wasn't here" On the other hand, the tan did look nice while it lasted.. B)

sry for being ignorant but who is liyama LOL, never heard of them.

 

hmm if that is legit 4K / 144hz / 1 ms / 28'', then i srsly would consider buying one before 2017.

 

only things im wondering about:

 

Flicker Free , yes or no? i guess no, sad life ; (

 

either way, nice for under 450€

I'm almost about getting a newer one, because I do understand this one is outdated (even in terms of health).

But I wanna go somewhere abroad again this summer and flights to New Zeland are expensive... :(

AMD really needs to get in gear with free-sync, it should be a standard on laptops with higher end APUs in them

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Not on topic of the actual video, its about Linus, did he get a cold OR did he actually fus-ro-dah Luke for that RAM?

What does an Transformer get? Life insurance or car insurance? - Russell Howard - Standup (Made me giggle a bit)

I go for the Red Eagle, my budget for monitor is 400 euro's. 

 

But 600 euro's for Gold Phoenix would be awesome!

one does not simply read dark letters with LTT's night theme

they call it G-master and its no gsync oO" why not advertise it as F-master

do they offer nice ips panels like that heavy overpriced pg279q too?

 

 

damn i just checked in Germany this thing is 850€ the pg278q is 660€

computeruniverse offers it for 850 but amazon and others want 950€ in germany xD  greedy bastards
