Was monitoring gaming monitor prices and came accross this.
Deal ends in 4 days or whilst stock last.
Looking to buy a gaming monitor for my RX570.
My 60hz monitor is ok but doesn't cut it anymore with screen tearing.
Is this a decent one?

No it doesn't..
It was fairly noticeable for me. I recently upgraded to 2k 144hz it is much better looking and feels like u have extra space cuz of more pixels.
rx570 … 240hz
cs:go ?
Not really - I tried CS-Go but didn't like the blocky graphics even on my current monitor.
Will RX570 hit 240fps?as long as you have a decent cpu you should get 240fps
Only in gamers like CS:GO, which they started they didn't like.
@FabMan: It's not that more expensive than comparable 144hz monitors so I'd say it's worth it he might upgrade his PC later
CSGO is more CPU bound that GPU, and also favours intel CPUS
The screen tearing problem isn't because of your monitor, OP.
It's because you don't use v-sync.
Ill take screen tearing over increased input lag anyday.
Most people wouldn't.
EDIT: Who's negging my above comment? Not locking FPS to refresh rate (v-sync) is literally the reason why screen tearing happens, are you neggers that dense?
People sure, Most gamers would.
@Axelstrife: No, only competitive gamers which make up a tiny fraction of gamers in general. The rest of us much prefer to have a cleaner image with no constant screen tearing.
They would also have higher refresh rate monitors if they cared about it that much, making the additional input lag of vsync trivial beyond any perceivable care.
The people negging my comments seriously need to read up on what screen tearing is and how it's solved by synchronising the display refresh rate to FPS.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing#V-syncIt's also the reason why consoles are locked to 30/60fps
https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/969713-why-is-there-no-…I'd be very interested to hear why people negged my comments seeing as it's the correct information and also the subjective opinion that v sync is preferable to screen tearing has been adopted by the gaming console manufacturers?
@c0balt: Because bigger is better!
Doesn't matter if you have higher FPS than your monitors refresh rate, more FPS is better!
@oznik: You will still get screen tearing if your GPU outputs a higher FPS than your monitors refresh rate.
Only way to not get screen tearing is to lock FPS to refresh rate using v-sync, FPS cap or adaptive sync (freesync or g-sync).
why people negged my comments
Though I didn't downvote anyone's posts here, I would guess this is why…
Ill take screen tearing over increased input lag anyday.
vs
Most people wouldn't.
Axelstrife made a statement about what their choice is. You made a statement for everyone else. So anyone who disagrees with Axel would reply why their choice is different. Anyone who disagreed with you would downvote you because you incorrectly spoke on their behalf.
@So lo: The comment that I was referring to was the first comment discussing that screen tearing is a result of not using v-sync.
Also I backed up the statement that most gamers prefer a clean image over screen tearing, with the fact that all consoles synchronize their display output to the display refresh rate. Saying that most gamers prefer screen tearing, is saying that only hardcore competitive PC gamers are called gamers, which is objectively wrong.
Even now there are people negging the sourced information explaining what screen tearing is, and how consoles implement it. So it's really just salty people pissed off that their subjective opinion is being objectively debunked. Which is pretty sad, because it's pretty interesting information they would enjoy learning about that they would rather just neg.
@c0balt: OK, so in the interest of trying to help you understand why people neg'ed this comment:
The screen tearing problem isn't because of your monitor, OP.
It's because you don't use v-sync.Well technically the screen tearing problem IS because of the monitor - it doesn't support adaptive sync. The OS does, the video card does, only the monitor doesn't.
Your singular answer of "because you don't use v-sync" brings in a new problem (increased lag). People might down-vote you for not disclosing that fact. V-sync isn't the best answer to the problem - if it had been, adaptive sync (freesync, g-sync) would never have been developed. These are facts that clearly you knew, but a LOT of others don't.
Maybe you should have suggested them trying v-sync, and disclosed the fact it will increase input lag, but that if OP could live with it, they could save themselves some money. Short absolute comments are easy triggers for getting the old [-] button.
@c0balt: Get over you high and mighty self, jeez. I use Freesync and RTSS to limit my fps, I no longer use VSync as games that require timing, such as a parry in The Witcher 3 are a problem with the increased input lag VSync introduces.
@FabMan: Projecting much?
I literally said that not having v-sync enabled is the reason for screen tearing and now all these elitists are coming out of the woodwork saying that their 120hz+ rigs are the only thing that gamers can use.
Just sit back and accept that not all gamers are elitist like you and that v-sync is a great method of getting rid of screen tearing if you aren't an elitist PC gamer.
@c0balt: No c0balt, and you don't know what projecting is. You keep presuming what the majority of other people want and you are constantly crying about being negged because people don't want you talk shit anymore.
Get over your own opinion.
@FabMan: Well actually by telling me to get over myself when you are the elitist saying that v-sync is the devil is projecting in it's purest form.
You have a very inflated sense of what gamers need and you know you need to get over it, hence why you're projecting. V-sync is great, it's what all consoles use and yeah I guess no gamer can play Witcher 3 by your definition.
@FabMan: Just pointing out the obvious in the face of elitists such as those who claim no gamer should play Witcher 3 on console or PC with v-sync on.
You know that statement is ridiculous, which is why I pointed out you're objectively projecting your inflated sense of what gamers need or want.
You know that I'm the one writing factual information even going to the length of sourcing it, and you're going to call that information an opinion? Surely you can't be that obtuse?
@c0balt: Are you okay? Seriously you've just gone off on this subject and making upstuff, exaggerating, repeating yourself and crying foul over negs.
- You stated that screen tearing is due to not using VSync, but its due to the fps not syncing with the screen refresh rate, VSync is one possible solution, another is the GSync / Freesync route, limiting fps can work if they can maintain 60 or 30 fps.
- Secondly you state most people wouldn't, well you don't speak for most people.
- At this point you start crying foul of negs.
- You then again makes claims on what most people want and again cry foul of negs.
- You link to what screen tearing is, but that isn't the issue, its your presumption.
- Someone explained the negging was for your presumptions, which you ignore and start calling people salty, missing that you keep talking on other peoples behalf. Crying again about the negs.
- Again it was highlighted that it was due to your presumptions, which you ignore.
- I don't have an ultra high fps monitor, just 75hz, it has a decent image as I do care about image quality but I noticed playing Witcher 3 I was missing parry's. After research I got a Freesync monitor and with fps limits I have reduced input lag.
- You then keep on presuming, which you've done alot here, that it is elist gamers that are negging and criticising you.
- I mention you keep presuming and you keep ignoring that.
- You again state I'm elitist, even though I've not shown that, and that I'm stating V-Sync is the devil. What the (profanity)?
- You state I have an inflafed sense of what gamers need, yet I've not once stated what others should have. It is you that keeps presuming here.
- You are getting dramatic again mentioning I stated no one could play Witcher 3, what the (profanity)?
- You are standing up to elitists who are stating Witcher 3 cannot be played on consoles or PC with V-Sync on? No one has claimed that, you are fighting a battle in your head.
- You are manipulating what I and others have said, that is not factual information. You are missing why people are debating and negging you.
Stop presuming what others want and do.
Stop manipulating words of others and down right making shit up.
Step away from the computer for a bit and calm down.
Stop
only competitive gamers which make up a tiny fraction of gamers in general.
So you think multiplayer FPS gamers make up a tiny fraction of gamers. OK. I suppose your going to lag only effects professional gamers which is obviously silly - every gamer will face exactly the same lag on a given system and any lag puts you behind.
V-sync is not the best method to get rid of tearing because it introduces lag. The best method is to lock your GPU framerate using RTSS or similar and make it exactly match your display and set graphics settings so that you always render higher than your display.
Neggers are beggers
They're completely different beasts. Take tearing over input lag for FPS games, and take input lag over tearing for stuff like 4x games. They're both bad effects, just pick which one is "more bad" for what you do (personally I always run with vsync as I don't play many fps games)
Thanks FabMan. Like the fact it is also HDR10 and ultra-wide 1080p.
Will definitely put it on my wishlist and monitor the price.It isn't clear, but that is a 75hz monitor when Freesync is enabled and it also has some speakers built in.
Great deal! I have the 144hz version and it's been great
A 27inch monitor should have at least 2k resolution. or else looks pixelated
