sectorseven Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hi all, I've been looking for weeks for the perfect monitor that has these specifications: 1440p >165hz refresh IPS GSYNC Low overal response time/input lag Good colors >=27" Curved if possible I can see that the clear winner would be: Acer Predator XB271HU However, they are really hard to find and the one I can find (EU) is 749 euro. Which seems allot for only a 1440p 27"screen. Is there anything on the market now, or coming out in the near future that can compete with the Acer? OR should I give up the dream about getting a curved 1440p with all the bells and whistles? i have seen this list but i dont which monitor is the best https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#r=256001440&A=1&p=1 Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevTech Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Giving it a quick look, most of these monitors are using the old 8 bit panel tech, and for an expensive investment you probably want to ensure a modern 10 bit panel. The actual internal panel model number is the best reference but other indicators of a 10 bit panel are "HDR" and "xx billion colors" (i.e. not 16 million which is 8 bit panel) Note that "HDR" is a fuzzy term which could be very misleading in some marketing situations. 10 bots per pixel (or more) is the definative spec. Personally I would not consider spending real dollars in 2018 without getting a 10 bit per pixel panel at a minimum. --------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth Video cards with 10 bits per component started coming to market in the late 1990s. An early example was the Radius ThunderPower card for the Macintosh, which included extensions for QuickDraw and Adobe Photoshop plugins to support editing 30-bit images.[15] The HDMI 1.3 specification defines bit depths of 30 bits (1.073 billion colors), 36 bits (68.71 billion colors), and 48 bits (281.5 trillion colors).[16] In that regard, the Nvidia Quadro graphics cards manufactured after 2006 support 30-bit deep color[17] as do some models of the Radeon HD 5900 series such as the HD 5970.[18][19] The ATI FireGL V7350 graphics card supports 40-bit and 48-bit color.[20] The DisplayPort specification also supports color depths greater than 24 bpp in version 1.3 through "VESA Display Stream Compression, which uses a visually lossless low-latency algorithm based on predictive DPCM and YCoCg-R color space and allows increased resolutions and color depths and reduced power consumption."[21] At WinHEC 2008, Microsoft announced that color depths of 30 bits and 48 bits would be supported in Windows 7, along with the wide color gamut scRGB.[22][23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted December 17, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2018 Dumb question, but why do you need a 1440p, 144Hz, IPS, GSYNC monitor? Are you an avid gamer? Or do just have money to spill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what money is worth to you and how long you keep stuff you buy - for me, my eyeballs have grown used to hi definition color and refresh rate would be a secondary consideration - crap that is faster is just faster crap.

Interesting but crappy poorly written article where he confuses interlacing with cinema and looks at eye speed independent of the very specific phenomenon that makes ANY video or cinema possible - POV - Persistence of Vision which by its very nature would limit the "refresh rate" of the human eye. That Air Force photo test he mentioned, ONLY worked because of POV permitting the pilots to recall the image because it persisted on their retina. It would be IMPOSSIBLE to process changes in that information at that 240 Hz "refresh rate" because it would just be a continuous blur... It seems to me that 120 hz might be the upper limit of usefulness but either way, give me better color first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedroth Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I have a Dell S2417DG, which is a 24" 1440p 144Hz (overclockable to 165Hz) G-Sync LED monitor (non-curved). They also do a 27" version (Dell S2714DG). I bought mine some 18 months ago for ~£380. It's a great monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
