Looking to buy a new monitor since my decade old 1080p HP cheapo monitor is finally starting to fail (takes about an hour to power on after booting PC). Since I have a fairly decent PC I wanted to get into the high refresh rate 2k monitors, but I don't want to waste my money on a piece of shit, or overpay for a mediocre/overpriced one either. Looking for some suggestions on a 1440p monitor that has G-sync, or will be compatible with the upcoming jan 15 driver updates allowing Freesync to work with Nvidia cards. So far the list of certified freesync monitors with a 1440p resolution are
Acer xg270HU Asus MG278Q Agon AG241QG4/AG241QX
I'd really prefer not spending over 400 USD on a new monitor but I suppose I am willing to go over if its a particularly good monitor for the price. Any help is appreciated.
Just fuck off and buy a gsync monitor, if you can't' afford the right thing good luck playing at 1440p with high frames with a gayga 56 or something Just. Fucking. Buy. The. XB271HU.

just buy a top of the line 4k monitor and replace it in another decade
I'd like to play games at framerates higher than 40 fps though.
Jordan Ortiz
It's not worth it lad save up for the XB271HU.
Joseph Martinez
Why do people even want 4k? 2k@144Hz/165Hz is the sweet spot.
Eli Jackson
What GPU do you have?
Henry Mitchell
4k is a meme for desktop monitors, enjoy your fuckhuge display panel, 27" is pushing it as it is. Not even a $1 price tag will make a TN panel worth it sod right fucking OFF
Andrew Torres
>better colours contrast and blacks >no backlight >better response times Only downside is they are extremely expensive and not at all mature enough still have burn in issues 4k 120hz is coming through
Jack Reyes
1080. Thinking about maybe buying a 2070/2080 in the future. Or the Vega 7 if its good for the price.
Adam Sullivan
just turn the resolution down in the game nigga its not that hard
I know it's a VA panel but it's 144hz, 1440p, 1ms and has a good freesync range for g-sync compatibility (30 - 144 Hz). The main point being it's cheap.
Was just wondering if IPS would make that much of a difference for another 50-100% $?
>2070 why downgrade? >2080 why get such a small upgrade? it's just a 1080ti same with vega7 wait a few years for it to actually matter va
Kevin Brown
I have it, and it has a tendency to get dead pixels. Acer tells you to fuck off unless it has 14 or so in a concentrated region which is fucking bullshit.
Jose Cooper
why not just get a freesync tn panel it's not like any of you basement dwellers have anyone care enough about you to watch you do shit on your pc and for gayms you'll be right in front so why the fuck care about viewing angles
Jacob Ward
colors and contrast are trash on TN.
Gabriel Nguyen
OLED on desktop is retarded because of burn in
Aaron Jackson
im looking to buy a 1080p 144hz monitor but im on a budget and have only select few vendors these are the two monitors that suit my budget the most aoc c24g1 and acer xf240 leaning towards aoc va but i heard it's really blurry

kys retard
Sebastian Lopez
wait are you being serious?
Aiden Reyes
You know Gsync and Freesync aren't the exact same thing right? They're both just adaptive sync. That being said you also miss out on ULMB if you go Freesync.
Jayden Hernandez
Literally no place is selling that.
Caleb Jenkins
Because the 2080 ti is 1400 usd.
Asher Scott
Gsync and freesync pretty much do the same thing. With only some reports stating that freesync runs worse on some monitors, due to no specific standards like gsync. Also ulmb is trash, thanks to the fact that we are bringing back flicker and requiring a stable framerate of at least 85 or greater, in order to get the actual benefits.
If you are running your games at 40fps then you will still play your games at 40fps with a 144hz monitor you absolute inbred freak
Chase Ward
I run over 100 fps in almost every title.
Grayson Martinez
I’m in the same boat OP and for FreeSync I’m looking at the Acer Nitro V2, Aorus AD27QD and Razer Raptor to go with the new Radeon VII
For G-Sync you might wanna check out the new LG 27GL850G
Dominic Gonzalez
*Nitro XV2
Daniel Ward
Nano IPS
Andrew Campbell
that's what they said about plasma
Jackson Ramirez
source on oled monitors?
Kayden Cox
>using an LCD with a scaler enjoy ur input lag
Austin Morris
source on what? how shit they are?
Brody Williams
Free Sync Nixeus EDG 27 Pixio PX277H
Goy Sync either the PG27Q or the XB271HU from acer
Carson Powell
PX277 isn't available anywhere I can find.
Brody Young
That's why they created screensavers, Zoomer
Nicholas Turner
XF270HUA
Jordan King
400 usd budget senpai
Andrew Baker
they go on sale now and then. i got one for like 380
Ian Fisher
where and when.
Brody Howard
Out of the box or over time? I've had mine for -~2 years and no dead pixels. That being said I'd be fucking pissed if I had even 1(one) dead pixel on this monitor after paying this much for it.
Thomas Green
check out Dell S2719DGF, dell has it currently in store for 349€ on their german retailer website dell shop w.e you call it
you don't need gsync because 1. freesync gets adopted by nvidia on january 15th. 2. at 144hz it really isn't that obvious that you have it.
the panel decision is much more a criteria to have a smooth looking image. TN is the best choice for that
Grayson Myers
depends on the panel.
the HP Omen 27 is god tier for a TN panel.
Evan Evans
Same monitor, love it. Titanfall 2 is fantastic on it
