Gone from 2 x 24" 1080p to single UW 34"

UW suffered bleed so have gone back to a single 24" 1080p.

Played some games last night and it was like playing with blinkers on.

I need to move forward but I'm really at a loss as what to get?

UW is expensive (brilliant though) but the expense and time of getting a satisfactory screen puts me off.

I'm even thinking now of getting the Dell Gsync...But I'm worried it will be to small plus after plugging my 24 TN spare in I could really notice how washed out the colours were...

I've been spoilt with IPS UW :(

What are peoples thoughts on this?

BenQ
BL3200PT 32" 2560x1440 VA Widescreen LED Professional/Gaming Slim Bezel Flicker FREE Monitor

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/benq...lim-bezel-flicker-free-monitor-mo-099-bq.html


Is 32" to big for 1440p?
Is VA decent?

I re4ally need help on this...As I can't carry on with this 24" much longer:o

As for the Acer I am not sure if I can drop that much cash over the Dell considering what I have read recently. If I was guaranteed less glow/bleed I might be tempted with the freesync model but the g sync model is 60% more than I paid for the Dell and I just cant see the value in that at this time.

I'm the same mate...the extra cost for the Acer is just too much...I have the cash but not the heart in this case....

I'm just not convinced I will be happy with another U3415W...ill probably get the same amount of bleed knowing my luck...

I do like dark blacks...I don't watch movies I have my projector screen and Panasonic plasma for that...it's mainly games and video editing....while the UW was nice for editing...it was like having two 4:5 screens rather than two 16.9 screens...so I know I Defo want to go back to a dual screen setup...I just need to pick one monitor now....and the next in a month or so...

I'm thinking Dell Gsync along with a U2715H..

Or I cheap it up and get the AOC 27" mentioned at 299... I'm a casual gamer so do I really need Gsync...apart from the bleed gaming UW at 60 on a IPS was fine IMO...


Arghhhhhhhhhhh!! :o:p:p

I was hoping top upgrade to ultra wide 1440p with freesync, but it seems silly to play the IPS monitor lottery when spending well over £400.

I settled on a BenQ 2730Z, get to unpack it after a coffee, shortly.

My first ever non-Iiyama PC monitor! :D

Let me know what you think.:)
 
No I've got it setup at 144hz and now getting 90 -120 fps I uninstalled afterburner and riva tuner...

First impressions are bit flat TBH...it's super smooth but never ever had experience of 144hz and Gsync I'm not going wow TBH...

I thought it would be draw dropping...I can't really tell much over the Dell U3415W TBH...and that was a 60hz panel... The colours are not a patch on the U34 period...

I enjoyed gaming superwide more...it looks grainy to me aswell...ill play with some more settings but up to now I'm a bit meh about Gsync :(

I'm going to turn it off and play and then decide then if it's worth the money for me or not...

At the mo I'm feeling it's expensive for what it is...

I think monitor tech is so far behind now they have invented Gsync and freesync to inch every last ebb out of ,quite frankly ,tech that's been around for years...

TN and IPS are old hat...

Of course they aren't... one's a IPS panel and the others TN.

TN panels are fast and IPS have good colour reproduction. Not sure what else you were expecting? Gsync stops tearing nothing to do with grainyness or anything else image quality related for that matter. As for not buying Acer at any price, thats idiotic.

Yes I understand what Gysnc does.


ACER CS is ******* ***** thats why :rolleyes:

Seems the graininess I mention is to do with vertical lines appearing on certain things.

I walked up to a pole in BL2 holding up a shack and everytime I shot it looked like very fine verticle lines...

:(
 
Yep

Having spent a few hours now gaming and playing with settings...Fine verticle lines appear
on objects when I shoot them

Its going back.

Would agree that at this price (Dell or this one) it should not be a panel lottery :(

Overall I believe that you have a few options:-

1. Have another try with the Dell (but back to luck of the draw.)

2. Try one of the va panels e.g 40" Phillips or AOC /Ben Q 32".

3. I was very tempted to get the 4k Benq 32" - only prob is that it is out of stock at the moment.

4. If you can cope with it go for the Hanspree 27" IPS and hold the 'big' purchase until the next gen of monitors are out.

Good luck :)

That's exactly what I'm going to do....I'm going to film myself gaming on the dell and gaming on the
Hanspree

:D

I'm going to cheap it up...and at least try one out at £197

I'm going to compare them both...let's face it only a few manufacturers make these panels anyway...the rest is chassi marketing guff....
