Recommend a Monitor?

[LCDArcade]

Can anyone recommend a monitor that features Gsync, 144hz, and 1MS response time?

Also can I ask a quick question; what ever happened to glossy monitors? Everything now a days is just matte finish. Right now I actually own an Alienware13 OLED 1440p panel and this thing is gorgeous with it's glossy display and personally I've always preferred glossy as apposed to matte because I feel the extra shine just makes games stand out better and as where matte I feel makes everything feel flat.

Thoughts?

Glossy is great if you are looking for a mirror instead of a monitor.

GLossy displays are actually amazing if you can control the light behind. I would say its the number one thing that improves image quality hands down.

And no i am not aware of a glossy 1440p 144hz panel, shame too.

I will also add for what game are you looking to play mostly? If the game you are playing consistently sits above 144 fps you really dont need gsync and could save a load of cash.

Yeah glossy is great if you are in a completely dark room. But who wants to be in a completely dark room unless they are watching a movie?

Personally I just purchased the https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC98-W-3...ords=lg+uc3498 which is turning out to be fantastic. However my original choice was this Asus Monitor https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator...8E69B32ZEGTR5Z
Because it had GSync in it but I went down to the store to get it and they were out so I opt'd for the LG.

Good Luck!

Room does not need to be completely dark, just need to control the light behind you. You should try a glossy monitor it may surprise you how much you like it.

My old monitor was a glossy one and I hated it. The main roof light in the middle of the room is behind me. The table lamp next to the computer also causes huge gloss.

The only light you don't need to control is the light behind the monitor. Not much of that around.

I bought a monitor a month or so ago that fits the specs you mentioned: Gsync, 144hz, and 1MS response time

After looking at the following two monitors...

Acer Predator XB241YU bmiprz 23.8-inch WQHD (2560x1440) NVIDIA G-SYNC Display (Display Port & HDMI Port, 144Hz)
Acer Predator XB241YU

But for $100 less, I'm seeing:
Dell Gaming S2417DG YNY1D 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor with G-SYNC
Dell 24 Gaming Monitor | S2417DG

I went with the ACER Predator. No regrets. I love the fucking thing. LOVE IT! It is, however, matte finish which it sounds like might be a "no go" for you.

If you're on a tighter budget, the Dell looks like a solid option as well.

I've tried glossy monitors before. HATED them. Depending on the time of day I had to adjust blinds, turn monitor, move desk.....wife walks in the room and turns light on instead of the lamp that is positioned correctly and I can't see anything at all. Just a terrible terrible experience overall. Could not get rid of the thing fast enough, but I could not even give it away to any of my friends, no one wanted it because everyone I know hates glossy monitors for similar reasons.

Ok?

And lots of people like them, like the OP lol.

I am in the same boat too, as my PC room config suits a glossy screen (blinds and light source are behind the monitor) i would but a glossy 144hz panel in a second, but as far as im aware none exist.

There is one from ViewSonix XG2401 or something. It got good rating from pcmonitors.info. It's 1080p tho and is TN panel.

edit: I missed the "g-sync" part, sorry. This one features adaptive sync, it's for AMD cards. I think there was a similar monitor of ASUS, it's a bit expensive tho.

[LCDArcade]

These are the two that I'm looking at right now as I'm quite interested in a Ultrawide display.

I heard that there are actually sequels to these monitors coming out soon though is that true?

Both of those monitors only cover 1 of the 3 things you are/were looking for : G-Sync.
Also, they both have a matte finish.

Note: make sure you have a video card that can power those beasts.

No sir, adaptive sync is nvidia.

OT both of those monitors are good monitors, non gloss though. They do release new versions every 2 years or so, but damn those things are expensive.

[Kuntantee]

No sir, adaptive sync is nvidia.

yeah, I meant free sync.

[Evildeffy]

Actually Adaptive Sync is the original name for the technology upon which both G-Sync and FreeSync are based on.
It was taken as optional in the DisplayPort standard.

FreeSync is a variation/modification of Adaptive Sync in the DisplayPort protocol whereas G-Sync is an actual separate chipset doing the work.

Carry on.

Carry on.

You were about to recommend a monitor for me

[DanielThomas]

Asus VG248QE with 24" screen size having features which you want and If you have glossy monitors then I must tell you that It has better color intensity and contrast ratio than matte displays.

[Twoddle]

My monitor is slightly taller than 1080p it's a Dell 1920x1200, can't see myself ever going to a 16:9 ratio unless there's no other option.

[Shakadam]

If I'd buy a new monitor right now I'd probably go for an Acer XF270HUA

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-xf2...?skuId=5622408

It's a WQHD (2560 x 1440 resolution), 144Hz, IPS panel with AMD Freesync, with very good reviews.
