16 gb ddr4 ram

970

650w thermal-take smart

Do you care about IPS, Do you care about over 60HZ, do you care about screen size?

[narrdarr]

no, yes, something in the 27"-32" range

thats a good choice, sometimes here in germany/europe you get dell monitors, 1080p with G-Sync for this price, but dont go over 1080p if you want 144hz, believe me, i had two 1080FTW

[narrdarr]

interesting that amazon says that. i dont even see at Samsung....

All newer monitors tend to have a ui that will have a eyerest mode for night time use. If it does not as i have not personally used it you could always color calibrate it to a blue tone that should help. Worst case you just get sunglasses that have the special tint.

since i on the samsung page. how good is Qdot? is it worth it? it a bit over budget but..... was looking @ the CFG73

i would refer to the Tech quickie video as im not a expert to my knowledge its just better colors

ic... the motion blur issue make it a problem

[narrdarr]

found the newer version of the acer monitor https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824011157&ignorebbr=1

 

only 1 review the consumer doesn't seem to pleased with it.

 

maybe i just need to bump my budget up.

[Dreaper]

No you dont need to if you cant afford it or it makes you sacrifice other things. You can turn motion blur off. 

[narrdarr]

well i have a spare kit of 4x4 16gb ddr4 ram and i can sell my current monitor for a couple bucks to cover the difference. so what other option would you have in mind.

[narrdarr]

bump:
still could use some other recommendations
