G-sync vs high refresh rate

[Nexus18]

Black depth is generally better on IPS panels (although there is very little difference and not worth worrying about) as well as the contrast ratio.

IPS glow can be a problem but only in these conditions:

- play dark content in a dark room

or/and

- you have a stupidly high brightness

or/and

- you view the screen from an angle

With LED bias lighting/decently lit environment, IPS glow should not be a problem for anyone that uses the recommended brightness of 120 nits or less and views the panel head on.

I prefer darker backlight setting, what about the dell u2717d, i want an accurate colour screen and that's factory calibrated

 

[hornetstinger]

The dell u2717d is a 60hz screen, which means you'll need to use vsync.

It isn't that great in other areas either:

[PAULRYAN52]

my current laptop screen is 60hz and I don't use v-sync

 

[PAULRYAN52]

ok so what ips to get

 

[hornetstinger]

but for gaming you will use it, with that GPU you'l easily get >60fps in games, so you'll want a high refresh screen.

 

[PAULRYAN52]

ok so I may have to get a tn?

 

[hornetstinger]

go to overclockers type in

144hz tn 27"
or
144hz ips 27"

will this be ok, i know nothing about monitors https://www.overclockers.co.uk/acer...descreen-led-monitor-black-red-mo-095-ac.html

 

[hornetstinger]

be aware of QC with Acer monitors, and the bad customer support.

 

[PAULRYAN52]

this one you posted would be better as you get the high refresh plus gsync, i have no knowladge of this exact monitor though, seems ok though

 

[PAULRYAN52]

im going to get it unless someone says not and why

 

[syks]

it seems ok to me

 

[hornetstinger]

This is the only reasonbly priced IPS, G-Sync, 144hz, 27" monitor
