Second monitor to go with PG279Q

ace-rimmer · 22 Oct 2017 at 12:44

Hi all

Im wanting to get a second monitor to go with the PG279Q and also desk mount using the Arctic Monitor Stand Z2 Pro.

Looking at the price of the Pg279Q i don't think i wanna spend that again, so is there a monitor that will go with the one i have that looks similar, what did other people choose as a second?

Thanks.

You could go with a second or pair of 19-20" 1440x900 screens in PLP.

Just to warn you, when I had a second 60Hz monitor with my 144Hz monitor, dragging stuff to the 60Hz monitor made things look very juddery. I got fed up with it, and had to buy a second 144Hz monitor. I play Hearthstone on my second monitor for example, and the stuttering/juddering was really noticable.

i may just wait to see what happens during the black Friday sale, i may get another PG279Q if they have a discount on them.

I run two PG279Q's as I've just moved from a 21:9 setup, i'm not sure I could go back to a normal 60Hz monitor now.

Well I have a X34a along side a Rog Swift ( 27")

, and 60Hz is a no no .

Non believers say that there is no difference between 144 & 60hz but even my missus noticed the difference so that is correct for sure. You have to experience for yourself and don't believe what someone says.

Well I have tried going back to a 60Hz for my 2nd Monitor and selling the swift...but no way could I stand looking at it for more than a few minutes , I would say minimum of 100Hz for a monitor , thats just my opinion of course .

well I see what you mean lol...I was lucky and got both monitors for pretty much half price each..so I couldnt say no lol

so you know how it is when you accidentally buy something.

well i got a second monitor not from Oc because its a bit pricey at the moment, so anyway it came with a English plug, kettle lead and an American plug correct lead for the power box, *****
