Best Freesync for vega 64 system?

[YG]Bug-Eyed · 19 Nov 2018 at 18:15

Just built my system over the weekend including sapphire 64 nitro, and now looking at monitors, but it’s a minefield!

I’m flexible on cash but don’t want to waste money. Can’t decide between

Decent 1440 27” or slightly larger? Or UW

Lots seem to be older gen IPS, with the newer ones now seeming to be replaced by VA. I thought IPS was general considered better, but is VA catching up now? Although not that’s many newer ones and seems like lots of older tech and not that much reduced prices

Trying to get a shortlist ready for hopefully BF extra reductions

I’m lost really so thought it start a post for input / comments.

Thanks

Thanks, and sorry honk my wording was wrong, I don’t mean best as in “The BEST” but best overall compromise of specs vs price before we get to minimal gains/etc

That was one for the list though but was worried as VA. No issues with smearing?

I not had any issues with smearing, neither on this Asus monitor or the Samsung I had before it, that was also a VA. As nVidia says: It just works.

ok great thanks for the update

There are some monitors right around the corner, and for my Vega 64-system, I'll go with one of those. Spent some time with an UW btw, but to me, it's simply to large and with 32" being to tall, 27" is my sweetspot.

Here's my shortlist:

27" 1440p 144hz curved VA FreeSync 2: https://www.monitornerds.com/aoc-ag273qcx-preview/

27" 1440p 144hz non-curved IPS FreeSync: https://www.acer.com/ac/nl/BE/content/series/nitroxv2

Thanks, they look interesting!

Ref VA vs IPS. I’ve had a plasma tv before hen moved onto LG oled now, am I likely to be frustrated by “black” on the IPS vs VA?

TN completed ruled out, but just can’t make my mind up on the other 2
