I tested various display setups over the past couple of years, went the 4k path way too soon, when 980ti was barely able to drive those 2015 games in 4k at reasonable details, ditched it back to 1080p, then went double 1440p 27", then to 34" 1400p, never thinking I need more than those 75hz because I can''t tell the difference. Got a laptop with 165hz, that convinced me I can tell the difference, so I have the laptop 16" 165hz 1600p, the 34" 1440p for movies, and my primary is the Dell Gaming 24" 240hz. And I hope it will work fine for another few years, because it is the best screen I ever had, bright, great color accuracy, fast, and it cost like 220 EUR. 27" would be better, but Dell does not offer it as IPS, it is just right size, great spec, and to pay 4x more, it would really have to be a game changer to switch to that.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

Yea, I'm with you on that thing about having to eat crow regarding the "I can't see a difference" thing. I have a 1440p 144 Hz monitor and a lot of games can take some tweaking to get the minimum fps up to anything over 70. And I haven't really considered that to be much of a problem. Now the other day I was playing a game that had no problem running at 144 fps. The physics engine was however written to run optimally at 60 fps so it had a built in frame rate limiter. I was testing it out at unlimited first and everything was running fine. So I tested with the limiter set to144 fps and again everything was fine. So I set it to 120 and suddenly I thought it felt choppy. It was a very weird feeling, but definitely not just a placebo effect. However after a few minutes I stopped noticing again. So yes, I can see/feel a difference when I go down in fps. However going up from 120 to 144 I can't claim to actually notice the difference. Thing is I'm way more sensitive for stutter, so back when I had a slower graphics card and a 60 Hz monitor I sometimes locked the frame rate to 30 Hz and enabled V-Sync. For me that was way better than running the game at sometimes 60 Hz and then either live with screen tearing with V-Sync disabled or horrible stutter with it enabled. But in the end everyone have to choose what they prefer and balance their expectations with what their hardware is capable of and what they can afford to spend on upgrades.

Why is it so difficult to get good HDR on a gaming monitor? I'd love you guys (or someone) to explain this one to me. New monitors keep coming out pushing refresh rates, response times, resolution, color, you name it. And yet in spite of all the bells and whistles, monitors are still stuck on HDR 400 for the most part which to me is a substantial disadvantage compared to TVs. Am I missing something here? The only proper HDR monitors I see are for creation, not consumption, so you lose all the other good stuff for the sake of that one aspect.

[@Pytte]

the smaller the screen, the denser the dimmin zones, the pricier.. just look at apples XDR displays..

[@DarthChewie]

Vast majority of monitors don't have enough local dimming zones to be able to get the deep blacks and ultra high contrast ratios needed for true HDR. And to be clear, it's not just gaming monitors. The reality is unless a TV or monitor is an OLED or mini-LED (with hundreds of local dimming zones), it's not real HDR. Like another reply mentioned, there are several mini-LED gaming monitors coming out in 2022, but be prepared to spend WELL OVER $1,000 on them. I think the Viewsonic 4k mini-LED is going to cost $2k+ USD.

[@blue4059]

1) Low demand. The "True HDR" crowd already have an expensive TV for video watching and gaming, therefore do not have a reason to need HDR on a smaller work monitor. 2) Only FALD can achieve brightness of 1000nits in "HDR Sustained 10% Window" required for HDR1000 spec, and over 300nits in "SDR Sustained 100% Window" for monitor use. WRGB OLED cannot do either of this. Still, the best looking HDR gaming monitor under $1k USD is LG C2 42" OLED. Lots of good FALD HDR monitors out there but they are naturally expensive to make costing over $1k. New QD-OLED monitors hitting the market this year will be a good middle ground between the two, and capable of HDR1000.

The problem is that you need a huge office to accommodate a 48-inch screen. Then you have to stay far away from the screen because the density of pixels is not important enough. Then if you do word processing (word), the readability of the characters is a little blurry. Then there is always the problem of the reflections of the slab if you are in a bright environment. Finally, there is always the minimal probability of burning. In short the choice of the Oled is not yet perfect, especially because of the size of the slabs which remains too important. It would take 34-36 inches maximum.

[@erikleblanc4539]

I think the best new monitor is about to be the Alienware QD-OLED with Samsung! 34imch ultra wide. If they update their whole lineup with that panel it’s gonna be insane!

[@BloodyIron]

I for one don't want only a nub for monitor controls. I love a dedicated source button to switch between sources. Or even better a few buttons I can customize to whatever function I want. In addition to a nub. I want both.

[@kingdraconias]

For my desktop setup I have 2 27 inch 1440p monitors from TUF that were about 300 bucks on Amazon (there was a sale goin on at the time), overall I am SUPER satisfied with the screen quality. I have them side by side so I can have stuff spread over both, but if I wanna watch anime or something I can turn off the second one, plug in my headset, and have a near home theater experience at my computer desk. It's great.

The only games we'll be playing in 4k144, would be 2D games. Unless you're fine with sacrificing all your visual settings, it's best to just get the most out of the visuals and cap it at 60, maybe 90 frames

[@SaccoBelmonte]

I'm using the equivalent M28U. And yes, it displays a gorgeous image.

[@dukejukem413]

8:17 that's quite a bit of frame pacing issues. That's not smooth at all.

[@PixelRuzt]

F1 & F2 were favourite settings 1 & 2.

I'm so hoping that the tv on the background isn't oled.. Couldn't really tell.

[@asinner7418]

And here I am waiting for the ASUS TUF VG279QM to get restocked in my country's stores...

[@GeFeldz]

I'm so glad i'm happy with 1080p at 27"! =) Much cheaper for high refresh rate gaming both in terms of monitor and GPU!

[@bipbop3121]

😊 I've a 4k 120Hz 6.5", but not much android content for it, lol. & I've a 15.6" 1080p 144Hz 👍🏽

[@jubuttib]

I have a 32" older TUF monitor, and while it's otherwise great, I really hate the rear buttons and nub. The screen is part of a triple monitor layout, and it's impossible to reach those without walking around to the back of the whole setup. =P

[@JonLaRue]

I have done the same thing with Asus 27AQ it rocks as a vertical monitor.

[@tdata545]

I like how thin that is. BEEN looking into getting a new monitor for my upstairs PC since that thing is SILLY. 3090 TR4 3990x 256GB RAM, just everything. So wanted a color accurate, high refresh rate monitor.

[@TheKazragore]

And there I was thinking a 3960x, 64Gb, 3090 was silly. Damn. I'm also looking for good 4K panels, though I'm waiting to see what the 42" offerings are going to be this year.

[@drogobero4479]

Watch some of Techless's yt vids. he does basically only monitors and convinced me to buy my g24f

[@winonesoon9771]

Highsense u7g brother there like what 699 I think for a 55 inch 4k 120hz all the bells n whistles I have the u8g such a freaking bright tv to god. A dam beast indeed

[@NavySeal2k]

A lot of maybe and probably o_O and are the 1 and 2 buttons to fastswitch 2 profiles because I like that

Nicholas would make great ASMR videos by default if it was possible to drop this background music.. Good video!

[@ototurmanidze5578]

personally i am asus tuf vg24vq1b user i can confirm that they do great quality products seems nice of what choise u want to get but i have question can i play with ps5? i mean is possible to play with 120hz?

[@GamingJC3]

I can’t lie this is my main monitor and it’s pretty awesome

[@clashwithkeen]

imo 4K is just overkill for the performance hit you take. You can't see the pixels in a 1440p monitor unless it's like 60 inches which isn't a thing. I use a 40" 1080p tv as a monitor and I can't really see the pixels with it 2 ft away.

[@alleng2011]

I think the next appealing monitor upgrade will be 32”, 4K, 144 hz. That would be the ideal size, resolution and refresh rate for me.

[@EdgardB]

Always great video.. would this run 4k 120fps with the ps5?

[@baltmatrix]

JONO! What monitor would you buy?

[@Waffls]

I think these are gonna sit on store shelves once the 42" OLED TVs come out later this year.

[@walterbot]

skip to 3:21 to where they finally start talking about the monitor

[@PremonitionGamingVid]

This is priced at like 600 dollars on amazon right now, so if you paid 800 for it I should definitely pick it up to replace my like 8 year old 4k 60hz monitor from sony right?

[@reyluna0]

Only thing I want is a 2k 24 to 28 inch display with 240htz in a nice va or IPs panel

[@zsoltpeterdaniel8413]

32 inch is such a big upgrade from a 19 inch 900p. I got the smadt monitor m5 1080p not the 4k one and I am hally with it. It has suprisingly good sleakers and outstanding standalone capability.

[@TheFatihcan13]

My 10700k and rtx 2070 super will be enough for this monitor?

[@horizontal120]

now i need to know what 32 " 1440p monitor for 800 did you buy .. :P because i am in that maker at the moment ...

[@vincevanbro9641]

I have a 1440p 144hz full G-sync monitor. Would you say it’s worth upgrading with this?

[@builtlikeatornado4667]

Is this a good monitor for ps5 and series x? Any information would be much appreciated.

[@jean-claudecossette6841]

Hi, it is true that the HDR is made of poor quality?

[@ninezerofive]

He looks like he lives in the wild and gathers berries and mushroom to survive.

[@CFG-qv7hy]

The real smart play is still 1440p. When it's a demanding game, you play at native. If you end up with extra GPU resources, use DLDRS 2.25 to render at 4K and downscale it for that awesome antialiasing. Plus you can get refresh rates anywhere from 165hz to 240hz.

[@sturenorth]

I think you are very much exactly 1000% right, but thats the giga-gamer brain talking not Joe´Schmo, but you are right none the less!

[@Szanth]

Me at 1080p with a 1660ti: Sure, ideally

[@tjw6550]

Agreed, as long as you have the GPU power for that. That's no guarentee by far, especially not these days.

[@EvL--_--]

Its worth mentioning image in games is a lot better/sharper in 4K without antialiasing? There's pretty much no need for it because of the high resolution. The 32" vs 27" (well 28 in this case but w/e) is spot on, I was on 34" and switched to a 32" and it was just too uncomfortable for Apex/Warzone so I went for a 27" and its much better. Imo, 4K is a bit too hard to drive these days, even with top GPU's, so maybe a 27-28" 4K is in the books for when the new gen GPU's come out with (promised) 50-90% better performance, w/e that means :D

[@mysticode]

Is Rapid IPS also any better with contrast and IPS ghosting?

[@kendokaaa]

I have an MSI MAG274QRF-QD and its contrast ratio is middle of the road as far as gaming monitors go (I don't count VA considering how incredibly slow they are). I've seen a few reviews measure it around 1000:1 (maybe 1100:1) which is a lot better than another one of the fastest IPS monitors, the LG 27GP850 (somewhere around 750:1). It varies a lot. I've personally gone with the MSI monitor because of the LG's poor contrast

[@Richard23ca]

doesnt hdmi 2.1 carry more bandwidth then dp 1.4? meaning you can get 144hz of hdmi as well?
