Malaphax Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Here's some interesting news about some of the possible future displays coming down the line. Below we bring you some news from AU Optronics about some of their forthcoming panels. Surely of most interest is a new 27" panel (M270DAN02.3) currently in development which will be based on AUO's AHVA panel technology, equivalent to LG.Display's IPS and with very similar performance characteristics. This is a 27" panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 350 cd/m2 brightness, sRGB gamut and 178/178 viewing angles. Nothing special you might think - wrong! This will be the first IPS-type panel to natively support 144Hz refresh rate, something buyers have been crying out for for a long time! 144Hz AHVA and 2560 x 1440 resolution, we can't wait! http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_archive/31.htm#144hz_ips Now there is a problem currently (especially with the Asus Swift) regarding 1440p at 144hz, namely that it isn't within the displayport spec. You can push 120hz just fine, but 144hz is slightly outside of the current displayport standard. That's why this is the second piece of interesting news. http://www.vesa.org/uncategorized/vesa-releases-displayport-1-3-standard/ The new standard just released today, so theoretically a manufacturer could produce a 2560x1440 @ 144hz g-sync monitor with an IPS* panel that uses the new 1.3 displayport standard. So now we wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaphax Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Another contender in the g-sync arena: 27" 1080p 144hz $599 http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?slg=en&scy=gb&ctn=272G5DYEB/00 http://www.amazon.com/Philips-272G5DYEB-27-Inch-Ultimate-Performance/dp/B00MUTW5LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 So my requirements for a new monitor are as follows: 1. > 100 Hz refresh rate 2. IPS 3. 21:9 4. High resolution It seems that all these technologies seem to be counter to each other still....my dream setup is the following:336H0x1440 resolution @ 144 Hz H-IPS Glossy Screey I'd pay big bucks for that type of monitor...

kuhla Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 You can get most of that soon except for the 21:9 and honestly I don't think that standard will get traction. Acer has a 28", 4K, 60Hz, g-sync model coming in the next month which supposedly can go to 144Hz at 1080p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Its a TN panel, and while I haven't seen an 8-bit TN panel in person yet, I'm still uncomfortable with the thought a TN panel as a primary monitor. Additionally, I think 21:9 > 4K in terms of gaming immersion and just plain usability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I want a monitor like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005624&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true&RandomID=560587110522910420140926052621 Except I want it with the bump in resolution from 1080 to 1440p and higher refresh rate. Of course the bezel on that is huge and would be nicer to be bigger. I can totally live with a dual display system like that rather than a triple monitor setup.

kuhla Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Acer's 4K g-sync screen is in-stock at newegg. 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz + g-sync for $800. TN. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009658 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Getting really tired of waiting for a proper g-sync display and want to try 144hz in any form but so much compromise.... http://www.displaywars.com/24-inch-16x9-vs-24-inch-16x10 http://www.displaywars.com/27-inch-16x9-vs-24-inch-16x10 The premium on 27", without g-sync, is hard to swallow but having a slightly smaller 24" (compared to current 16:10 24") is an annoying detail.

Malaphax Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 So NEC is releasing a $3,000 monitor which features 32" 4k display and the capability of running at 120hz at 1080p. The real question is if the IPS panel they're using can even perform properly at that refresh rate. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_archive/31.htm#nec_pa322uhd http://www.necdisplay.com/detail/p/PA322UHD-BK/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaphax Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Kuhla mentioned this particular product from BenQ: 24" 144hz 1080p for $650. http://shop.benq.us/xl2420g.html?utm_campaign=mainsitelink&utm_source=main Personally I find this incredibly underwhelming, it's a smaller display with the same technology for a $50 premium. Although we have Newegg pricing it at $600, I wonder if they'll wait a week and then push the price back up to the msrp listed on BenQ's website.

kuhla Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 newegg link - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014412 benq product page - http://gaming.benq.com/gaming-monitor/xl2420g/ newegg link to all current g-sync monitors - http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007617&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=True&SrchInDesc=G-SYNC&Page=1&PageSize=20 At the same price as the Acer, the BenQ has a better feature set and a better track record (for gaming monitors). That being said, even with g-sync, $600 is still hard to swallow for 24" 1080p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Looks like the Asus 27" is the best bet at $800. I like its thin bezel look. Although still not a fan of TN (I'm running 27/24 IPS setup right now). In reality I wouldn't pay extra for G-Sync since screen tearing doesn't bother me. I always leave V-Sync off for everything anyways. The BenQ bezel design does look a lot like my U2410 though.....(dotted buttons, plus USB hub on the left side) My U2410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1no Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 damn i dint realized this stuff is that expensive. was interested @ 27" 144 not sure if i can ever go back to 24 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always leave V-Sync off for everything anyways. If your frame rate is high enough in most games you play, there are people who enjoy strobing technology over g-sync (who have both so they can A B test). I encourage you to look into those but that still leaves only TN tech since it's the only thing fast enough. Buying a monitor based purely on size or aspect ratio right now kind of irks me when I see some interesting tech being pushed. Which monitor do you have right now? Are you interested in something like the Overlord Tempest X270OC? http://overlordcomputer.com/collections/27-monitors which for all intents and purposes is a more "local" sourced Catleap 2B with a better stand. damn i dint realized this stuff is that expensive. was interested @ 27" 144 not sure if i can ever go back to 24 inches SInce everything is 16:9 now, and I'm on a 24" 16:10, I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm really hesitant to consider any 24" 16:9 because I think it will feel smaller but, at least with g-sync, it's adding a rather large premium.

Jedi2155 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Why is G-Sync so interesting to you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Why is G-Sync so interesting to you guys? Anytime I see tearing it really bothers me but I still leave v-sync off most of the time because I find the 60fps-30fps-60fps transition can be pretty jarring. Adaptive v-sync kind of works but it's very much a band-aid. G-sync solves both problems by having zero tearing while allowing the fps to be completely variable (provided it's over 40 and under 144). I think it's kind of an exciting piece of tech. It's one of the few inovations in a very slow piece of the consumer tech world (displays).

Jedi2155 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I figured that's what it is but just wanted to make sure that was it. You also just described how I feel about aliasing =D. Actually I rarely see screen tearing on my screen now that I have my monitor at 110 Hz.

kuhla Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 ....and I have heard from people on 100+ Hz screens that tearing is less noticiable but I still have only ever had 60Hz screens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1no Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 im sure you guys already discuss this but let me get this i have to pay close to 700 for 27 inch 144hz with g snyc ? vs just 27 144hz for 370 ish just about ~300 dollar more ish just for g snyc. and im talking about 1080p screen with tn panel expensive ehh impressive tech tho. screen tearing doesn't bother me. but then again i never play on 144hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm not sure where you are getting the $370 from. The BenQ XL2720Z (27", 144Hz, 1080p) is $460. The BenQ XL2411Z (24", 144Hz, 1080p) is $275. The Tempest X270OC (27", 96+Hz, 1440p, IPS) is $450. None of those have g-sync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
