What 1440p Monitor to buy?

Absorbentsolid · 7 Oct 2013 at 15:51

Hey guys,I currently have 2 120hz monitors and i'm selling one of them to help pay towards the 1440p monitor.

I'm keeping one for my XboxOne and buying a 1440P for my PC.

I watch a lot of blurays but i game more than anything to be honest.

I think i have the GPU grunt to handle 1440p 2 gtx 670 overclocked in sli.

Just want to know what monitor to buy?

I've seen some great Asus and Dell monitors that have fantastic reviews.

Any input would be appreciated many thanks

Are you wanting 120hz or better quality with the 1440p?

Absorbentsolid · 7 Oct 2013 at 15:58

I already own 2 120hz monitors,I just want better quality and a sharper picture is all.

If its still on offer for £400 then the samsung 970d is where my money would go

The Samsung S27B970D was up for £499 for a few days, then went up to £650. It's not listed on OCUK any more, so looks like they sold that batch Gibbo got for such a good price. Love mine, sweetened by the £499 I paid for it!

popular choices would be the Dell U2713HM, Asus PB278Q and ViewSonic VP2770-LED. all well worth a look

After my yellow-cornered fun with the Dell U2713HM, I'd lean towards the Asus PB278Q if I were you. No guarantees though - issues are possible on all panels it seems...

Asus PB278Q. I have this and it's awesome. stand is great, picture is amazing imo. colour reproduction is very good

Thanks all for the response's,Can't believe i missed the Samsung monitor for £499 :O

I would have snatched that up if i saw it.

I'll be purchasing on friday,I'll let y'all know what i get.

Many Thanks!

I've never gamed on a 5MS monitor,Is it playable or do you not really see a difference with the lag.

Sounds great,I was going say i've been on a 5ms TV and for FPS is was a little annoying,But driving games etc it felt great.

To get the monitor to achieve the 1440p resolution do you use a DVI or HDMI cable?

I use Dual link DVI (comes with all the cables).

But it has HDMI, Displayport etc etc.

*dont think HDMI supplies enough bandwidth for 1440p?

martos123 · 8 Oct 2013 at 14:24

Dual Link DVI or Displayport for 1440p. HDMI/DVI will only do 1080p.

Hazro are great screens when they work issue free but if a decent warranty is important i'd go with dell first.

Avoid the Dell U2713HM at the moment. If you're set on getting one don't get an April '13 Rev A01.

I'm thinking about the Asus Monitor at the moment,I'd like that Samsung come back down

What is the problem with them? I've had one for about 5 days now from OcUK and seems fine so far...
