justsome1_01 08/02/21 7:28:59 PM #1:	Im reposting this from the PC board, because it seems pretty slow over there today and I need a monitor pretty quickly. So, apparently my twenty year old monitor died on Saturday and now I need a new one. As, I havent bought a computer monitor in ages, I have no idea whats out there or reliable companies to choose from. Seriously, my monitor that died is the old 15 square size (not widescreen). I do play a lot of games and have a gaming computer if that helps. Im also not sure of budget because I have zero clue whats out there or what to look for, but nothing ridiculously expensive, please. Thanks! P.S. My graphics card is a GIGABYTE Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card GV-RX580GAMING-8GD <cite>justsome1_01 posted [p:956714308] in Need a new...

I think the newer version is a 165Hz version. I personally might consider paying the extra $50 since I tend to use the same monitor for years. But my existing monitor of six years is still alive and my priority is getting either a RX 5000 or 6000 series GPU, hopefully by the end of this year for something closer to MSRP price. crosses fingers --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo!

DragonClaw01 08/04/21 3:39:48 AM #31:	It can get pretty complicated, but there are three basic panel types: TN, VN & IPS. TN are pretty fuzzy and kind of outdated now a days for anyone but the sweatiest of sweatiest gamers who value response time over all else; VN have the best blacks and are good all rounders ; and finally IPS give you good color saturation and accurate color reproduction at the cost of weak blacks and often backlight glow. So that is panel type. Then you got refresh rate. In general, while your video card is pretty weak, you want a 144hz here. That way you will get the smoothest image provided you can get the FPS, although you will have a hard time get close to 144 FPS with anything but older games like CS GO and League with that graphics card. Still, pretty sweet when you can get the high FPS. Then finally the size. In general, 24 inches is optimal for 1080p and 27 is optimal for 1440p. Since, your video card is a bit weak, you may want to consider a 1080p monitor, since you will get about 1/2 the fps at 1440p compared to 1080p and you generally don't want to be dipping bellow 60fps. Plus there are weird scaling issues with 1440p sometimes, since it is a weird stop gap resolution similar to 720p. But that extra screen real estate can be nice, so I can see why people like them --- <('.'<) <(^.^)> (>'.')> Splendiferous <cite>DragonClaw01 posted [p:956760270] in Need a new...

DragonClaw01 08/04/21 2:14:20 PM #33:	It's mostly an issue if you are using a 1080p resolution on a 1440p monitor, since they are not even multiples with one another, you will have a stretched blurry image. You can set the monitor to 1080p mode to compensate, but you will have black bars. Just a minor annoyance. I guess also if there is a 2d game built around 1080p there can be scaling issues, since there usually is a fixed pixel array with them, but there shouldn't be any issues with a 3d game due to the way they handle textures. Not a huge deal overall, but just something to pay attention to --- <('.'<) <(^.^)> (>'.')> Splendiferous <cite>DragonClaw01 posted [p:956772175] in Need a new... [t:79595597]...</cite> <quote>It's mostly an issue if you are using a 1080p resolution on a 1440p monitor, since they are not even multiples with one another, you will have a stretched blurry image. You can set the monitor to 1080p mode to compensate, but you will have black bars. Just a minor annoyance. I guess also if there is a 2d game built around 1080p there can be scaling issues, since there usually is a fixed pixel array with them, but there shouldn't be any issues with a 3d game due to the way they handle textures.

I guess I mean without inflation since eventually there will be no chip shortage. --- Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355, Steam: Kegfarms <cite>Revelation34 posted [p:956786508] in Need a new...

Between cryptomining, chip shortages, scalpers, and possibly new PC builders from people staying home cause of COVID, the top end GPUs (i.e. GTX 3090 / RX 6900 XT) could be in the $2k-3k range. Even the previous generations of GPUs (i.e. GTX 1000 / 2000 series, RX 500 / 5000 series) are going for 2-3x their normal cost, whether new or used. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo!

Since, your video card is a bit weak, you may want to consider a 1080p monitor, since you will get about 1/2 the fps at 1440p compared to 1080p After briefly researching this a bit further, now I am concern bout wanting to upgrade to a 32" 1440p monitor with a R9 380 GPU. What is your opinion regarding 32" 1080p monitors? My current monitor is a 27" 1080p if that matters. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo!

DragonClaw01 08/05/21 4:45:51 PM #37:	I don't know. I have only used a 24 inch 1080p monitors. I would imagine 32 inches at that resolution would have too low of pixel density.
