Which 1440p ?

Darkpilgrim · 20 Oct 2019 at 17:14

So i just bought a new gfx 5700XT and of course like an idiot i didn't check what conectors it has :-(

My current monitor is a Benq Xl2411 144hz but it only outputs 144hz though DVI which my new card does not have.

I'm looking for a decent 27" or bigger 1440p monitor with 144hz and freesync to go with the 5700XT
My budget is around £350 - £400
I know nothing about monitors so if anyone has any recommendations that would be great.

The LG 27GL850 is the currently darling - but it is made by magic pixies and blessed by nude virgins, hence very difficult to come by.

Thanks for the reply,
I had a read of that sticky before I posted but tbh if anything now I am more confused.
That LG looks nice but seems to be on preorder everywhere and is a bit over my budget.

Use a display port or hdmi adaptor to DVI?

Have a read through the last half dozen pages of this thread to get up to speed with the quest for the holy grail ( a decent 1440p monitor)

By the time anything is available you will hopefully have a bit more in your budget because 350-400 isn’t going to cut it in terms of this current batch of monitors. As mentioned above, get an DP/HDMI to DVI cable for now and see how reviews and availability pan out by the end of the year.

What about the AOC 32" VA unit?

You could use a £40-50 active adapter but might be best time to upgrade.

Dont buy the LG GK850F Go for the LG650F instead. I have and its stunning. Same panel just no HDR400 wich is pointless anyway. Seriously nice bit of kit. The 650F is much cheaper too.
