But no AMD cards have HDMI 2.0 and I thought Freesync needed DP anyway. That doesn't seem to make much sense.

So you're saying people should watch movies illegally. Basically steal the hard work of others? Great suggestion. :confused:

There are several 32" 1440p VA displays. Do you mean one with GSync?

Or just use a different gamma mode. Because according to good reviews of the 24" one there is nothing wrong with gamma in the right mode. I would assume this would be the same? Dunno. :)

How can adjusting contrast in the Nvidia Control Panel affect the monitors backlight? :confused: Only the brightness control on the monitor affects that.

3H is hardness and AFAIK all matte coatings are that. It does not tell you how grainy or thick a coating is. This will surely be similar to the PG278Q if it uses the same panel.

It isn't only LG who do that sort of panel design though. I've seen VA panels with that as well.

I've got one of these at work. Just use it for boring stuff like browsing the internet, Office etc. but it works nicely and is cracking value for money. The pixel density is really nice in my opinion.

They're usually really good if you're not happy with monitors anyway, regardless of the level of warranty included.

Or preferably somebody who actually knows what they're talking/writing about instead.

+1. Plus I prefer Dell to ASUS. Not that I am interested in either monitor personally.

Really?! :O What is the FreeSync range do you know?

Except that it is significantly cheaper and more widely available. Plus is very well reviewed.

Except that a 48" UHD screen has a worse pixel density than a 27" WQHD.

Well I can't see any IPS models out there with 1664:1 contrast and I'd much rather than glow-free 1664:1 than any IPS. The screen surface is probably fine, as above. And responsiveness seems fine by me, much better than having loads of overshoot. Will really have to wait for a TFT or PCM review...

Yeah I'm really looking forward to TFT and PCM reviewing it. I own a BDM4065UC for the office and considered bringing it home for some gaming. But I am really liking the sound of this BenQ to be honest. The PRAD review didn't actually put me off, I think it sounds good in areas that are...

To be honest I think random number generators are used. But seriously, I wouldn't look too much into scores. They're probably only there to appease lazy people. I mean how would you score something that's so subjective? :confused: For PCM scores it seems they like anything that they give above...

$800 wasted if it's anything like the last attempt. And why shouldn't it be? But don't mind me, I've just read enough to put me off that embarrassment of a brand.

Shame about the price and the brand.

Doesn't do it any justice.

You're using VGA. Maybe that is a problem? :confused: I've seen similar VA panels and never seen anything as bad as your photos.

Ran numbers from the middle of the screen with a little device. Wake up, you don't stick your eyeballs onto the screen in the middle. I hate IPS glow myself so avoid IPS generally, but TN colour shift is a big issue that only blind people underplay.

And pcmonitors. I actually preferred their review as it gave me a better idea of what to expect from the monitor. And it gave me the final push to buy the damn thing. Unfortunately for my office at work not my fun at home. But I might get another. ;)

Personal preferences really. I prefer 160-180 cd/m2 for a bright room and don't feel this is too bright at all. I find 140 cd/m2 decent enough though.

You should also be thinking about the maximum response times. 6.9ms recorded for the Acer and 4.4ms for the ASUS. From my understanding response times only need to be so fast on sample and hold monitors. And for a 144Hz one I think IIRC it's like anything below 3.5ms doesn't matter but higher...

Yeah tell me about it. I've been told I've got a carbon monoxide leak in my house, but I can't see it so I'll be fi............ X_X

It's not the panel you're waiting for! :D

I like the look of the BL2420Z. Been wanting something like that to replace my crappy EW2430 in the office. Guess we'll have to wait for the reviews to see if they've sorted the responsiveness and see what else is good/bad about them. Nice to see some new panels though.

I'm with NCX on this. For me it is one of the most important factors when deciding a monitor. I can't abide grainy screen surfaces and for those that can: "good for you". Not everyone is lucky enough to let such an obtrusive thing escape their notice.

Yup.

No thanks. I had the FG2421 and it was nothing but hassle.

The minimum refresh rate of this is 35Hz and I recall reading by an ASUS rep somewhere that lowering from 40Hz to 35Hz was actually the reason for the 90Hz cap. Could be rubbish though.

It is wide gamut, unlike the PA328Q.

Yeah it does seem to be 60Hz.

ERM. It's called the PG34Q. 3800R is the curvature!

I think the phrase you were looking for is "bit the dust". Biting the bullet is something quite different. :) Anyway I'd see this as a good excuse to upgrade, reckon you'll forget all about that old screen soon enough.

I thought it was 75Hz?

The S34 looks really good in those pics. It seemed from the reviews I read that it would be, but it's nice having it confirmed like this. Still dithering over that or the BDM40 for myself. BTW those last pictures are from this review https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/philips-bdm4065uc/. You should...

The P2416D is not 4K

This monitor does not use PWM
