Monitors?

[captain_cereal_hands]

I've been on the hunt for a new monitor for a while now. Mine is on it's way out plus it's real basic. I'm looking for a lot though. If I could build a monitor well then I'd want...

 

27"-30" ultra wide but not curved. 

144Hz

At least 2K resolution so 2560x1440

1ms response would be cool

At least 400 cd/㎡ would be nice but not killer

I dabble in Photoshop I'd like a good color space. I mean 100% Adobe RGB is asking way to much but something close-ish would be nice.

Did I mention no curved?

 

I've been shopping around and that doesn't exist as far as I can find but I am asking for a bit too much. I'm sure I'll come across something eventually.

What do you guys use?/Like?.

you'd be a lot more likely to find that if you are willing to give in refresh rate and get a 34 incher

Nah I need my 144Hz and really as long as it's at least 27" I'm cool. I just don't like curved.

honestly your best bet then is multiple monitors. Premium 27-30 inch ultrawides are rare. Also, color accurate 144hz displays are too.

That's the thing what I want just doesn't exist  I will have to make some sacrifices but 144Hz won't be one of them. I can handle it not being ultra wide it would just be neat to have.

You might want to wait out for the XB273K, it ticks your boxes.

Might want to wait out? My wallet says I will be waiting and a while. lol

I'll look more into it

I'll look more into it. 4K is nice but it ups the price way up and makes 144Hz hard without OC'ing if I'm right. Isn't it true that DP 1.4 can't actually do 4K at 144? I could totally be wrong.

[Motifator]

It actually can, it's the panel itself that is incapable of doing Chroma 4:4 subsampling above 98HZ.

You might want to ditch the 144HZ and look for the 10-bit 4k 27" displays. They would suit your Photoshop needs better.

[captain_cereal_hands]

Okay I think my best option is this to ditch the ultra wide and just go with 2 27" monitors one at 144Hz at like 2K resolution  and one that's not 144Hz but is 27" 4K with like 90-100% Adobe RGB. More money than just one but better overall.

 

Btw this is my current setup.

I've been looking at this one for the gaming one

Or this one.

[Motifator]

How about these two?

These 2 would be great but that Dell is pricey the Asus is a little cheaper and has a 1ms response time.

Actually this Dell is cheaper https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VV7v6h/dell-u2718q-270-3840x2160-60hz-monitor-u2718q

If you're going to spend that kind of money, just get one of these and be done with the whole thing:

[captain_cereal_hands]

I saw that but 2 K for one monitor

[captain_cereal_hands]

I think these 2 at some point will be my next choice.

I here the quality control over at Dell on the panels is a little better anyways and the gaming one is a little cheaper.

[Motifator]

Well the first one I wouldn't go for. It's a TN panel and the 1ms is a G2G value, it's of no importance and the thing actually has more latency regarding other color switches. It's way too expensive for a TN monitor. When you can have its IPS with the Acer I linked to, it just doesn't make sense.

The Dell is fine, but there is a giant leap between the UP2718Q and the U2718Q. You're paying the extra $500 for local array dimming, true 10-bit etc.. just a far higher end panel over all. The U2718Q is NOT %100 Adobe RGB capable. In fact, given that it's an 8-bit LG panel with FRC, I'd expect it to perform worse than the AU Optronics (Acer) Benq I linked to, which is a 10-bit monitor.

[captain_cereal_hands]

Well thank you for informing me as you can tell I know nothing. I'll look at that Acer and yeah I was wondering what the difference in the 2 Dells was considering the price difference. Thanks 

[Motifator]

You're welcome.

[captain_cereal_hands]

Legit question here could my GPU https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bNcMnQ/evga-video-card-08gp46286 be enough to handle ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQ 27" 4K/UHD OC to 144Hz at 4K?

[captain_cereal_hands]

More than likely I'd have a few profiles like one at 2K 144Hz for gaming and one at 4K 120Hz or something for watching movies or something.

[Motifator]

For watching movies you want it to work at 98 HZ at 4k for 4:4 chroma. Beyond that, the monitor loses color and starts somewhat banding. Though you can probably easily do like 175-180HZ with it at 2k, it's a more capable monitor than the older G-Sync IPS panels.

Yeah, the 1080 won't quite cut it at 4k. You might want to consider a 2080 Ti also, it would do justice to that monitor.

[captain_cereal_hands]

I knew the whole thing about color loss over 98 just couldn't remember the number. So 2K at like 175 would be awesome for gaming but your saying my 1080 won't make it for 4K 98Hz for like movies or PS.

[Motifator]

It will do that in movies / desktop usage. It's a limitation of the monitor, not the GPU. But yes, intensive games the 1080 will run out of oomph and might not even hit 60 FPS at 4k.
