It would be funny if it weren’t so damn real. They do order online and had stock yesterday.
I was looking at that exact monitor yesterday and it wasn't in stock for ordering online unfortunately.
That being said - it's in stock at Milton now… Do I feel like braving the crowds?
OH and it's in stock for delivery.
Do you have a link? Seems to be sold out?
Not if they understand literally anything about monitor technology.
That's literally the worst 4k monitor on the market.
Can confirm, bought in 2016 for $540. It's a pretty bad monitor :(
Why are you mentioning the price you got for a 1080p TN screen in a deal for a 1440p VA screen? They are apples and oranges.
shots fired.
Only professional gamers need (and even that is debatable) TN panels. For the average gamer; the better contrast on a VA panel, or the better motion of an IPS (depending what you value more) is far more valuable. TN for the end consumer is absolutely gross.
@BradH13: Tn is a bit crappy, but IPS @ 144hz is great, no way VA is better
@botchie: I definitely prefer VA to IPS. Every screen in my house is deliberately VA, including my 144Hz screen. Haha. I accept the slow grey to grey transition in exchange for inky blacks. Also, IPS glow sucks. I suppose everyone is different though. If this guy loves TN, fair play I suppose.
@BradH13: guess you are right, each to their own, never had VA but TN was so washed out, IPS in comparison is amazing and im super happy with Acer Predator XB271HU
@BradH13: debatable? show me a pro that uses a VA panel lol…
it's interesting people here seem to prefer color accuracy and viewing angles over response time/motion clarity, for productive work i can understand, but for gaming? really? eye candy over gameplay?
and it's even funnier when people say TN panels are too dark/washed out, what do you guys do use your monitor outside or something, i have my TN panel on 0% brightness and 30% contrast during day time and it isn't even considered a bright panel
@abctoz: The debatable comment was more aimed towards the new gen IPS panels LG are using that aren't quite TN response times, but they're just about there.
And yeah, definitely more interested in colour accuracy and eye candy. My gaming monitor is even colour calibrated with a colourometer…
Everyone has their priorities.
@BradH13: i guess most people just don't play competitive games or something, if you grew up on those like me than you can easily appreciate the benefits of a decent TN panel, eye candy is all well and good but its kind of useless when you're dead…
@abctoz: Call of Duty is as far as my multiplayer experience goes, and we all know how competitive that is /sarcasm. I'm not even great, yet still come on top of the leader board just about every game.
I view games as a story telling medium mostly, so yeah; can definitely see where our opinions clash.
@BradH13: in fact it would be accurate to say competitive gamers tend to hate eye candy because it can distract you, you'll probably puke to find out that most csgo pros are running 1280x960 resolution for higher fps:
@BradH13: Better motion? Tn smashes the motion blur compared to IPS
27@ 1440p Va panel 144hz Samsung Freesync
27@ 1080 TN panel 144hz Asus Freesync
Choose your pick. QHD is definitely needed above 24 inches.
I got the 32" version of this monitor last sale, very happy with it!
I'm looking at buying one! Any backlight bleeding? Any other dramas?? Only thing stopping me is theres not enough info about if a 1080 will work with gysnc on it!
Pretty sure all 10 series + nvidia gpu’s will be Gsync compatible on all Freesync monitors.
Big enough to watch tv or play Nintendo on do you feel?
Is there a better 1440p 144hz monitor on the market right now?
Yeah there are a few, given this is a VA panel. AOC CQ27 off the top of my head… if you can find one.
Think you might mean the AOC 27G2 which is the IPS variant of the CQ27. In saying that though I don't think the 27G2 comes in a anything higher than FHD
CQ27G1 comes ins a 2K variant. Or used to at least. https://www.amazon.com/AOC-CQ27G1-DisplayPort-adjustable-Zer…
The LG Ultragear with the IPS panel.
and double the price.
Sometimes, you get what you pay for.
@Ryanek: Sometimes…
VX2758-2KP-MHD - IPS 1ms display between $400-$450
is there a TLDR name for that monitor :P
Tempted myself but wallet is bit light at the moment
Sell some toilet paper. Everyone is selling stocks to buy it. Don't miss out.
Of all the things people could have stocked up on…
144hz is great for gaming. If you're an image quality purist like me you may want to pay more for an IPS
Any product suggestions?
Haven't researched it sorry. Reason I post is that I paid $700 last year for a 4k Benq 32 VA and was disappointed. Particularly the light bleed / uniformity was terrible compared to my 27 Viewsonic 1080p IPS.
I just got the LG 27GL850 after weeks of trying to decide on a monitor. Very happy with it so far.
Acer Predator XB271HU 27" WQHD G-Sync IPS 144Hz Gaming Monitor
Anything non-curved for similar price?
LS27R750QEEXXY @ Centrecom $399
LG 32GK650F - flat panel 32" VA 1440p 144Hz with freesync/gsync support. Around $500 but can be had for lower with an ebay coupon (got mine for $415).
I'm very happy with this monitor
VX2758-2KP-MHD for $449 (I got mine for $399 last month) https://www.centrecom.com.au/viewsonic-vx2758-2kp-mhd-27-144…
1440p 144hz IPS Freesync.
Only problem is it's out of stock until the 17th April.
Not if you're in Bendigo, apparently!
I got one from MSY for $409 a couple weeks back, but it looks like most places are still out of stock
Just wanted to know, which panel is better for long exposure due to work and then gaming after work. Better in respect to eye health. Apologies if its a noob question.
I was looking at buying AOC 24G1 for $259.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but different panel types shouldn't be better or worse than any other for eye care. They differ by way of viewing angles, refresh rates, colour accuracy, brightness, etc. What I believe is important is reducing blue light exposure and making sure the appropriate brightness level is being used in your particular ambient environment.
Blurry movement caused by va/ips compared to TN, or stroboscopic fatigue from motion blue reduction are also eye health related.
While I agree with your sentiment (for regular users, blue light reduction is King)… gamers selecting gaming monitors may benefit from different combinations of motion blue reduction vs panel tech.
For example, I play ddr where arrows scroll at around 20+cm/second (Todo: the math). Stroboscopic displays do not give me headaches, but IPS with black background causes trailing which gives me headaches. I get blurry vision in one eye after a short period.
I have found that grey backgrounds on IPS monitors are fine (since this reduces the pixel switching time as gtg is faster than black to white to black).
So for me a mixture of tech (go stroboscopic and enjoy enhanced contrast) and software (go IPS with grey background. less contrast but watching YouTube is better) results in different outcomes.
Other people are sensitive to strobing so mbr is a no go. Others are sensitive to excessive blur and mbr (fast tn is the best compromise)
thumb up for Futu being a trustworthy seller, not like Ninjiabuy keeping raising price along the way.
Futu also price jacked before the code went online
Futu is the king of price jack.
55 ppl upvoted this deal meaning the price is still not bad???!!!
Check the deal i posted yesterday, Ninjabuy is playing much dirtier.
The listed price may not be great but with the discount its cheaper than anywhere else
Has anyone used a FreeSync monitor with a Nvidia card and "Gy-sync" turned on? I know we Nvidia says you should only use one that is verified by them.
I believe Gsync works with any FreeSync monitor using 10-series or above nvidia GPUs with up to date drivers
This is my understanding too but I thought if Nvidia had not validated the panel, that it was mixed results ?
Hmmm well its definitely not Gsync certified so I guess YMMV
If it's Freesync Premium (previously Freesync 2), chances are it's compatible, and at worst might just flicker on loading screens and full-screen maps (0 fps).
Considering some of the reasons Nvidia auto-failed monitors for had nothing to do with the actual quality of the monitor (things like not having FreeSync on as default), I wouldn't be using the lack of "GSync certified" alone as a reason not to buy a monitor
I'm using a non-validated FreeSync panel (LG 32GK650F) with my 1080 Ti and it works flawlessly. No artefacts or drop outs. Just need to click the apply G-Sync button in the Nvidia control panel, as non-validated panels don't automatically enable it.
Seems to be the cheapest it has been on OzBargain.
No, people just don't use tags properly on this website: the record is under $320.
Thanks, good to know it has been lower before.
damn. why. WHY. i just got lg 2k flat 144hz few weeks ago. shitty viewing angle, this would have been a lot better as curved.
Is this the same monitor in 32" https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-CJG50-32-144Hz-LCD-LED-W…
… and is it worth it? Been working on my 40" 4k flat monitor and using it for gaming. I am seeing the value in curved and higher refresh rate, but 27" not tall enough… so looking at the 32"
Which seems to be: 565 less 20% (113) = $452 — $90 more than the 27" inch, $12 per inch ;)
Any advice?
Only 2 available.
Decide soon!
ahh man, you tipped me over. Pressed buy. Still looking for justification!
Just realised I am now have 2 screens per PC and laptop!
Phillips 40" 4k
Dell 29" ultra wide IPS
Dell 29" ultra wide IPS
Dell 24 IPS
Asus 30" 2k
and now this Samsung 32"
How do I hide the box from my wife!
Sell them on gumtree now if you don’t need.
More and more people working from home.
Depends whether your wife likes box
No FreeSync
official or unofficial? I thought they were the same monitors at a different size?
whoops!
Bugger this is the 50 and not the 54 model number. I submitted a cancel request. Thank you
JG50 lacks FreeSync, JG54 has FreeSync
@SwarleyAUS: futu accepted the immediate cancellation request.
Found the jg54 32" screen for less
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/32-Samsung-LC32JG54QQEXXY-2K-WQH…
only 15% off but the net price is $432 with computer alliance, making it 70 more than the 27"
says it has Freesync.
thx again for pointing this out! saved me an older model and 20 bucks.
Any recommendations on an IPS monitor that has remote-control functionality?
None, they're not TVs. But why wouldn't you just be using media centre software?
Because I want to hook up my monitor to a PS4 and then dual-screen with a laptop.
You can hook up multiple sources and switch between them, but the typical viewing distance for a monitor shouldn't require you to use a remote. Pretty sure they don't use HDMI-CEC either.
You should be more focused on how this performs at 1920x1080 @ 60Hz, which your PS4 is outputting, which wouldn't look great (the input lag would be ok though).
If you're looking for a monitor for a PS5 or the XBox Series X, you should probably be targetting 4k120Hz and up for the best experience, but those monitors are pretty limited here, and once you narrow it down to HDMI 2.1, the options are literally non-existent.
not the cheapest its been as I bought 2 of these on SE boxing day sale for $299 each. at an otherwise $349 normal sale price that time
can't complain with its performance, i have issues with auto detecting inputs it sometimes switches even though the other device is powered off. Otherwise very good value.
you got the freesync one or just the 144hz one (I nearly made the mistake now!)
Edit: Ah, ou got this one for 299 + shipping… https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/508738 good deal!
Bought one of these from Scorptec for $380 on the weekend. Quite happy with it.
Just make sure to use DisplayPort v1.2 at least if you want 1440p @ 144Hz. I was using an older DP cable (v1.1 probably), and it caused some text colour distortion.
To bulky, I want mine as thin as my phone with the components in a sound bar, with the power outlet coming from it as a centralised hub
Or better a laptop that has 2 foldable papper thin 4k screens that fold in or out and pack easily when placed into backpack.
Still happy with my 3 Asus 24inch 1m for $189.
What are people's thoughts on this?
https://bit.ly/3bad5Qp
Can't work out why it's priced so similar to this: https://bit.ly/2TYOE2r
Extra inches?
Purchased 3 of these for $299 each from Shopping express a few months ago, would recommend for this price point
there are no guarantee's that a freesync monitor is going to work properly with nvidia cards unless it makes this list
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitor…
that is why freesync monitors are dirt cheap
Not bad, most non gamers probably want to opt for the 28” 4k U28E590 about the same price from UMart now
