24/27” Gaming Monitor. Who’s got which...

imprezaworks · Nov 27, 2020

Curious as maybe looking to change mine. Only play FPS games so high refresh rate etc. Can see me getting a ps5 but not anytime soon.

-KarL- · Nov 27, 2020

I play on a 24", made a huge difference coming from a 55" TV.

I've got the VA27WQ which is the curved version.

Great screen.

I went from a Samsung 1080P 24" monitor to the Asus 1440P 27" monitor and the 27 is much better.

If your going to use it with PS5 it might be worth looking at screens that can do 4K at a decent refresh rate. Unless Sony enable 1440P.

imprezaworks · Nov 27, 2020

True. I don’t really want to spend loads as it’s a Christmas present and we have set a budget lol. Do you prefer 27?

Yes but only in 1440P. It looks worse in 1080P.

Geddes · Nov 27, 2020

I have this one past few years. Asus PB277Q 27" 1440p.

Monitors - All series｜ASUS United Kingdom

ASUS monitors are at the forefront of innovative technology. ASUS produces a broad range of displays to satisfy diverse usage scenarios and needs like gaming, content creation and business.

www.asus.com

I use this for my pc aswell as for my PlayStation as i don't play on a TV. My previuos screen was a 23" Dell nothing special, had that for a lot of years and decided to go for a bigger screen to the 27" It was quit a jump and took a little while to get use to it. I think 27" is a perfect size for gaming.

I've been looking at different brands and there's not much that i like also at the price range. I hope that Sony wil include 1440p on their update if so that'll do me for quit some time, maybe another year or two till upgrade to 4K til more options come out as this one is still mint.

imprezaworks · Nov 27, 2020

I’m assuming people are using a TN Panel over an IPS.

Ph1 Tom · Nov 28, 2020

For gaming it probably doesn't matter too much what type of panel it is. As long as it's a got a good refresh rate, response time and colour rating like DCI-P3 and 10bit colour.

Out of the hundreds available I watched a review of this

Krarl · Nov 29, 2020

I recently got this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07DTGXKK7/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Way better than my old Acer GN246HL which was 144Hz, 1ms etc. This new AOC one just trumps all over the old one, then again I did change my graphics card too 😂

imprezaworks · Nov 29, 2020

Probably going with the one I posted. I’m not tech savvy but the reviews looks spot on

Geddes · Nov 29, 2020

As you said it’s got 1ms and 144h which is really what you want and I’d like too. It’s got the hdmi and display port. If your looking to keep it for a while it’s still 1080p though, will that do for your needs?

imprezaworks · Nov 29, 2020

Think so mate, would with the ps4. Future proofing for the ps5 would mean 1440?. But 1440 wouldn’t be great with the PS4?

Krarl · Nov 29, 2020

Aye I'd go 1440p. I'm already eyeing up a 165Hz 1440p 😂

imprezaworks · Nov 29, 2020

Mmm I may wait then. Although a ps5 maybe months away and Xmas is a month lol.

Geddes · Nov 29, 2020

If your future proofing I’d not got for this one. As I said I have a 1440p and yes it’s still 1080p on the PS4 and soon PS5. Hoping for native 1440p on the PS5.

What I’ve noticed which is baffling I watched Broken Machine’s YT channel and he has a 1440p BenQ monitor high refresh rate monitor and he says live on stream he’s playing at 4K even though he’s on 1440p monitor. I’m not sure how’s this works up scaling and all that.

I know the PS5 has a Performance Mode and can’t remember what the other Mode does.Can someone explain what they are and how it works?

If you can’t wait could go for a low to medium spec monitor and use the 1440p if Sony release 1440p or wait till the right monitor comes out with 1ms 144hz, 24” or 27” screen, upgraded with newer version HDMI and DP with 4K.

imprezaworks · Nov 29, 2020

Food for thought. Nothing wrong with mine so may end up waiting.

Geddes · Nov 29, 2020

I'm in your shoes too, I was after a one ideally the exact same spec with all the features but with 4K, higher refresh rate and updated HDMI and DP but nothing I'm after. Just have to bite the bullet and wait.

Just been watching Broken's videos, i believe he has the 1440p as his main screen and a 4K next to that and a 3rd screen going vertical for his chat most likely.

I think this is the one he's using currently as his main screen

imprezaworks · Nov 29, 2020

Would love to game on that, must be so much better/easier.

Think I will wait and ask Santa for something else lol

imprezaworks · Nov 29, 2020

Also....
On my monitor it has the option

rgb 0-255 and 16-235

I assume using 0-255 and on the PS4 rgb full would be the best set up?. As apposed 16-235 and on the PS4 rgb either limited or automatic.

Slightly over budget lol

I’ve never had an RGB or anything, couldn’t tell you what they means or does.

Also I doubt my next screen will have any RGB or lighting, it might distract me it does look nice though. My desk top is right next to my monitor so I’m also not sure whether to get done RGB too.

The pic quality has always been okay, never wow but then it’s a cheaper tn panel that was made 6 years ago. So after a while trying to mess with the rts/gamer settings I spotted a post from someone who wasn’t a fan of any tn panel and if you have got a Ben q try the standard setting and tweak a couple of bits. In this setting you can adjust a couple of bits more including the gamma.

Anyway. It’s now looking spot on

Darren S · Dec 4, 2020

I've got the previous gen to this one - running at a mere '144hz', lol. https://rog.asus.com/Monitors/27-to-31-5-Inches/ROG-SWIFT-PG279Q-Model/

I could never not have a technology like G-Sync with gaming now. I've been fortunate enough to have had this monitor for over 4 years and I'm still impressed with the smoothness of it.

The only issue I see moving forward is if the latest ATi gfx cards prove to be a worthy alternative to the 30x0 series and render my nVidia-friendly only monitor redundant. I believe that there are dual G-Sync & Freesync monitors out there - but they carry a hefty premium to cover both bases.

Toby · Dec 4, 2020

23.5" @ 144hz - 1ms (Is a great combo).

Just bought one in the sales, very impressed.

imprezaworks · Dec 4, 2020

Which one

Toby · Dec 4, 2020

Lenovo G24-10

Budget was tight with extension so at £130 it was ideal.

imprezaworks · Dec 4, 2020

Reviews are 👌

Toby · Dec 4, 2020

£150 on AO, not bad. I didn't see the reviews on there.

"A little reviewed 144Hz Monitor which has Freesync and is also listed on Nvidias website as being Gsync compatible. It has a 1ms response time when you crank it onto extreme. It was only released the back end of 2019. The colours are good, the angles are good. I have an Acer XF240H, also a TN panel. This has a better colour palette, it looks more like an IPS panel. Gaming is great no display lag, with GSync on it works flawlessly. Some people said it has large bezels, but i'm only using it as a single monitor and it looks nice to me. Its also got a 3 year Lenovo warranty on it. It was a bit of a punt as there are so few reviews of it anywhere, but I was really impressed, especially for the price."

Geddes · Dec 4, 2020

Just been browsing on the Lenovo and it is a good spec for the price and size, but it's still 1080p though. Long term me personally I'd wait get a 4k with similar spec or if you want something now short term I'd go for it.

Just had a look on Asus, This is something I'd go but this is 43" at 144hz and 1ms with the latest HDMI v2.0 and Display Port 1.4 for future proofing, and hope they do one down the line in a 27" or 28" screen at around £400 area I'd grab one.
