Selecting a gaming monitor

[mindteck]

Good evening to all.

Friend is in search of a new screen for his PC, which will cover his gaming needs.

Desired features:

27 ", 144Hz, 1440p, 1-4ms response, panel IPS with gsync. for gaming.

Another suggestion according to the above features?

someone told me these things about acer and viewsonic and because my english are not very good

can you tell me please what he means with all these things that he told me??

Don’t discount the AOC AG271QG as a possible alternative.

– The ASUS PG279Q seems to have the worst quality control of these options. As with any model it’s decent enough if you get a good unit and on par with the others. But your odds of that are slightly lower, at least from user feedback I’ve seen.

– The XG2703-GS uses a different variant of the XB271HU‘s panel, but it is of a similar age and generation.

– Most XB271HUs are nicely calibrated and similar to the ViewSonic for overall image quality (and responsiveness). Some are not as well calibrated, gamma is too low regardless of OSD settings. That is what people will be referring to when they say colours aren’t as good. They aren’t, if you get one of those bad units. The AOC, ViewSonic and ASUS are more consistent with their calibration.

Given the above, any of these models can be good if you get a good unit. Performance is then similar and you’re splitting hairs trying to compare them. The ViewSonic and AOC are probably the most consistently good, however.

when he says that ViewSonic and AOC are probably the most consistently good what he means>??

 

[mindteck]

someone told me some things

and tell me if you agree please??

Depending on the monitor input it is also possible to set an ultrawide up so that it shows as 2 separate monitors in Windows, so you can have 2 “monitors” one one physical monitor. Then you’d be able to put a game on either side and whatever else on the other side. Comes down to personal preference how you set it up. AFAIK this only works when the monitor has 2 physical inputs being used at the same time though, and the monitor firmware has to support it (basically a Side by Side setting).
I have never used one though I am intrigued by the idea, but I refrained from getting one because of support issues. Not every game even works in the first place and even if they do it really depends on the game. Generally competitive games won’t give you any advantage due to wider monitors, so they will scale the FOV and that does induce some headaches for some people. Some games will solve that issue by scaling the image to the width and then cutting off from top and bottom. Some games will scale the rendered graphics but the HUD doesn’t adjust, so it’s stuck in the corners which can be annoying because they are too far apart.
