Best Gaming Monitor 2016!

[Atwood]

Hello, everyone! It's me Atwood! Who are you? I want to ask you something can you give me a good Suggestion for Gaming Monitor?

This are my PC Settings that i order Yesterday:

https://www.mindfactory.de/shopping_...030e6ea9222746

So know i'am searching for a good Monitor with G-Sync that you can tell me is the best atm.

I'am playing Games like:

-WoW
-Hots
-OW
-HS
-F1 2016
-DBX 2
-LoL

Found that on ElvUI Site http://i.imgur.com/F65Zp3F.jpg i like it may you can see this as Preview which Resolution i want :P

[Fascinate]

Gsync is a massively overrated technology, there are very few combinations of hardware/games/resolution where it can be beneficial.

Let me point you to this samsung that released just yesterday, it is a 144hz curved 1080p panel with quantum dot technology (better colors than any other 144hz panel):

Its so new there are really no reviews out yet, but i fully expect it to be crowned the best all around gaming monitor.

Maybe, yes. Maybe, no. I don't know so much about the new Technolgy but i have some Information for you.

I don't want 1920x1080 anymore i like to have more Room for the UI etc. i watched a Youtube Video:

So i want a higher Resolution

4k isn't good at this Time because of not good Releases of good Monitors with 144hz but WQHD with 144hz and 1440p is still a good choice and if you watched the Video you know why double more Room for Windows, UI's etc.

I found 2 some Monitor that's your Opion?

I found some good Reviews of the UK Site from Amazon better for me then the German Reviews

Define best, what are your criteria, price, etc etc.
I personally wouldn't touch Acer monitors even with a ten foot clown pole. Their QA is god awful. Asus is a step ahead but that doesn't say much.

[Atwood]

The Best for my Settings over 1080p, 500-800 Euro, 27-Inch used for the Games in the List above.

I used a Acer Monitor before and the Monitor was really good so Full HD Generation it was i Remember

I have an acer 271hu 2560 x 1440 165hz and its fantastic. Dubious quality control though.

That's what i use, love it. No complaints.

[Remilia]

Within 27" 2560x1440 either 60Hz or 144Hz that I'd suggest, going from least to absurd price.

Dell U2717D, BenQ XL2730Z or Asus MG279Q, Eizo FS2735.

XL2730Z and FS2735 both have a pretty good native motion blur reduction at 144Hz.
U2717D isn't marketed as a gaming monitor but honestly it's pretty good for the price and performance.

Dont get caught up in resolution or terms like gsync, the important parts of a monitor are displayable colors, contrast ratio, response times (to a point) and if they have motion blur reduction technology (this is the big one, far more important than gsync).

Resolution is just about dots per inch, for 24" 1080p is fine. If you are going 27" 1080p just wont look as sharp in regards to text and things. But if your main concern was making UI elements smaller that can be done in most games simply with a slider in the option menu.

LINK FIXED! Thanks, for that. Now you can see which PC i ordered!

My Main Concern isn't only the UI Parts it's just important to have Room/Place for things like in the Youtube Video below:

And i thought i will don't buy a 4K 21:9 Monitor and just use a 1440P 27 Inch one many Reviews and Feedbacks are saying i use this one that
Dkwhyevernot is saying too a Acer 271HU 2560 x 1440.

I think it is not the Time yet for 4K Gaming you haven't good Monitors many Games don't Support 4K Gaming Resolutions etc.

@Dkwhyevernot, can you Post me Screenshots of your Monitor and Information about it via PM?

A word of warning, a wide color gamut display is actually a really bad idea if you're not doing graphics work and every one of your components (including video card) supports it. I recently returned a Dell UP2516D (which is basically a 30-bit color display instead of the regular 24-bit) because everything looked over-saturated and basically weird unless I turned the sRGB emulation mode on at which point the brightness and contrast of the display took a nosedive.

"125% of sRGB" is actually terrible because it either means a) the panel will still display sRGB color space at which the 25% is, at best, just wasted, b) it'll actually use a wider color space and then regular sRGB content (= basically ALL content outside specialized graphics software) will look like ass.

Well this is marketed as a gaming monitor if you clicked the link, im sure they will have a RGB button or something in the OSD. The big deal here is the quantum dots and how they are going about doing blur reduction, apparently its a game changer and will be the fastest VA panel on the market. Even tho im sure this monitor is going to be amazing, im still gonna wait for reviews to see how it stacks up.

Yeah the best case scenario for that Samsung display is that the "125% sRGB" is just marketing BS. It might turn out to be a great display and I'm certainly interested in seeing how the Quantum Dot technology works out in displays. Heck if LG produced an OLED display I'd probably buy one (after recently having bought an OLED tv) but for some reason no-one's interested in making OLED computer displays...

Gsync is a massively overrated technology, there are very few combinations of hardware/games/resolution where it can be beneficial.

Is g-sync overrated? Possibly, but to say its not beneficial sounds as if you aren't accustomed to it.

There is a difference, it is nice to have, however, for majority of people it is something you should put to the sides depending on cost, as well as the difference in specification.

[Fascinate]

I think oled monitors will come eventually but the thing is who watches a ton of movies on a monitor (where the contrast of a oled can really be great for black bars etc). Another thing is viewing angles, outside of the rare case of multi monitor gaming who doesn't sit directly in front of their monitor? (this is another huge benefit of oleds, for tv's at least).

Kind of why i am excited about this samsung, i just want a really fast monitor that looks good as well.

Er...you mean a photo?

Either way here is a link to the item: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/27-a...b-2x-speakers-

Its oos atm. And like i mentioned has a reputation of questionable quality control.

Dont dell sell a 30" oled for about £3k ? Might be hard to find of course also probably £5k now due to sterlings post brexit vote devaluation.

Please read closer, i didnt say what you are claiming. Gsync has benefits but only truly when you are getting down really low in framerate. Somone who has enough money for a 1440p gsync panel also has a 1070 or 1080 (or multiple of them), they arent even getting into the fps range where gsync truly makes a difference. Its weird like that, a person with a gtx 960 would gain more benefits from gsync but that guy cant afford the monitor.

No promises on a photo if mine but I've put a link to a very good source of such things here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1581181/a...show-pics/2160

Hope it helps...
