Question about monitor im intending to buy

[noobj]

Hi guys. Im intendig to buy a new 27" monitor.

AOC IPS+ 3D 27" D2757PH 5ms

The website says its 144hz but ive read a few reviews online saying its not really 144hz. Does anyone have a definitive answer?

1. Resolution
1920x1080 on a 27" is not high enough dpi.

2. Panel
AOC claims 144Hz with an IPS panel and 5ms nominal response time. Yeah... not gonna happen.


- If you want good image quality, get an 27" 1440p IPS monitor.
- If you want fast response times and high refresh rates, get an 120/144Hz 23"/24" 1080p monitor. Maybe even one with G-Sync (If you should have a supported graphics card)

Here:

- it says 144Mhz, which is nonsense. But yeah, other websites specify that it is indeed 144hz. What you probably have heard as "not really 144hz" is this (quoting a guy from here: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=381803):

"AOC g2460Pqu has: DP, Duallink DVI, HDMI & D-SUB
You can get 144Hz officially only on DVI, 120Hz on DP/DVI/HDMI."

Overall, it seems like a great monitor, so I approve of your choice!

It is subjective. I'm using a 50" LED TV at 1080p sitting about 2 ft from it, and I don't have any problem with DPI.

50" at 2 feet? I bet your neck is ripped from having to move your head around to see your monitor. I don't know how any one can use a TV for any real computing. Once you go past the 27" line at 1920x1080, pixels get way too big. I don't know how you can read text or do anything with that pixel density @ 2 feet away.

My understanding is it's a 60Hz input monitor with an internal process allowing 144Hz. Nothing really new but it's probably not worth it.

There's only one native 120Hz IGZO (IPS like) monitor at the moment and that thing is $2.2k. It's a 4k monitor to boot but the 120Hz is using 1920x1080 resolution. Native refresh rate, no overclock.

Not at all! I don't move my head around much, I mostly move my eyes and, anyway, most of the time my sight is focused at the center area and the surrounding area provides that incredible immersion effects that I always felt at cinema. This immersion is much more important to me than the fact that, if I try really hard, I can distinct separate pixels in a static picture (not in motion as they kind of swirl around changing colors and such).

Anyway, like I said, it is a matter of preference. Some people are much less tolerant towards low DPI than others.

I think you made a mistake with those numbers...
A 50" TV has a diagonal of more than 4 feet, and you claim to use it from 2 feet away? To reiterate: 2 feet is the distance you would normally sit in front of a normal (less than 24" -> less than half the size of a 50" tv) computer monitor on a desk

No, everything is clear. With 24" monitor I used to sit really close to it, maybe 1 feet or so, so now it is 2 times farther, while the monitor's diagonal is 2 times larger - I see the exact same solid angle as before.
