Gaming monitor differences/£££££.

[imprezaworks]

What's it going on?. If it's a console they cap the refresh at 60. So no point getting a higher refresh rate unless looking at the new console's?

 

[Norris_309]

Just got one of the original Xbox one's, he does want a pc at some point too but that won't be anything ground breaking if it happens.

 

[imprezaworks]

I guess get a higher rate in case he does. Assuming pcs of any budget work well with a higher Hz monitor?.

 

[Rojer]

The one I linked previously would be good for your application.

 

[Norris_309]

That was my original thinking, just the cost increase that puts me off, I'm trying to talk him out of pc gaming.. mainly as it'll be my job to research/pay for and build the thing!
Thanks for the advice, never looked at monitors quite this in-depth

 

[imprezaworks]

I'm going to try the benq rl2455 monitor. Think I prefer 24 over 27

 

[Rojer]

24 is normally what a pro esports gamer would use. I think I personally prefer 27 as I would use the pc for more than gaming, but it can bit a bit much to take in. I do like the ultra wide 34inchs etc but £££

I am thinking about setting up a sim rig for a bit of driving fun. Thought I would check this thread out, but I have realised that I clearly know nothing lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Ended up sending the Dell back. Was okay but I bought a Ben q rl2455, absolutely made up. Also 24 over 27 for gaming

Do you prefer the 24" to the 27" mate? just about to take the plunge for me lads.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah mate.

Tbh I don't think you would go far wrong with either though.

The Dell was more a monitor over a gaming type I think. The Ben q stuff is aimed towards the latter

What you thinking of buying mate

 

[Willo40]

Yeah mate.

I was thinking about buying the one @Rojer suggested below mate.

[imprezaworks]

Yeah seems good.

Depending what you are after really. But after having a TN and ips panel I would choose the former. And tbh the pic quality of the benq is better.

The Dell was an older monitor tbf.

Benq stuff from what I've read is aimed more towards gaming.

 

[imprezaworks]

Guy who streams uses this and the quality looks spot on. Search his name on YouTube.

 

[Willo40]

Cheers mate.

 

[Willo40]

Guys, can any of you recommend a 27" TN panel monitor, around £200ish, i know a bit about tech, but i am really unsure about Gaming monitor specs.

Thanks

 

[imprezaworks]

Personally i would go 24 mate

 

[Willo40]

I asked the question mate, and he wants 27", was looking at something like this below?

[imprezaworks]

Ah ok. I'm very happy with my benq so probably enclined to buy one of those.

I'm no expert but I don't think there would be much difference between models.

 

[Willo40]

Order maybe this?

Which model do you have mate?

 

[imprezaworks]

I have the rl2455. Been around a while and was used (sponsored) at pro gaming iirc?.

I'd opt for this if it was my money

[Willo40]

Cheers Dan, i read somewhere if going to 27" you need a better resolution, than 1080p?

 

[imprezaworks]

On the ps4 or pro, no. I think?!?

The ps5 will probably be better etc. if it was my money id opt for the one i listed. Been around a while and still punches well.

 

[Willo40]

On the ps4 or pro, no.

The ps5 will probably be better etc.

Cheers mate, appreciated, should add, it's likely he will get an Xbox One X for Xmas.

 

[imprezaworks]

No worries mate. I'm sure others may offer better advice. It's only what i have used and looked into.

Thanks for posting this

Looks like it's this one at £216 + £7 shipping (from Germany)?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00WUACE4S/?tag=cliospnet01-21

The BenQ mentioned above seems to be the only thing cheaper for 4K and 28"??
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075CQ5Z8R/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Much as I want a 27" 5K iMac thing, they seem to start from a grand upwards, whereas a laptop and one of these screens would surely run to less!

 

[imprezaworks]

Think he paid 200 at Currys.

 

[White16valver]

Looks like Currys are at £269 for it at the moment - perhaps he got it in the sale!

[Hxrry]

In my experiences with a handful of monitors, BenQ always packs the best bang for buck. I ran a triple setup with triple 24" monitors, did everything I wanted perfect.

Looks OK nothing special, i think you can get better for your money. I will have a look shortly for you.

 

[Rojer]

Found this earlier whilst i was looking for @Willo40

4K IPS 60hz and 5ms response time, bargain for the price IMO.

Philips 276E8VJSB 27" 3840x2160 4K IPS 60Hz Widescreen LED Backlit Gaming Monitor

Display Resolution 3840x2160 4K UHD, Display Size 27", Refresh Rate 60Hz, 5ms Response Time, Contrast Ratio 1000:1, Panel Type IPS, Flicker-Free

www.overclockers.co.uk

 

[imprezaworks]

The Dell I had was 5ms. Benq is 1ms and imo much better

 

[Rojer]

I think I would be hard pushed to tell the difference between 5 and 1ms would have to have the monitors next to me. Either way it's a big upgrade from a normal tv.

 

[imprezaworks]

Pro gamer

Yeah nice step up over a TV

 

[Willo40]

Massive thanks to @imprezaworks @Rojer and @Darren S , appreciate all the excellent in....👍

 

[imprezaworks]
