  Ideal!
  100hz is my jam for gaming, I spent a long time testing and it seems I stop reliably being able to A/B refresh rates after 95~97hz.

    There's certainly a limit to what most people can see/feel! I think ~120 is my sweet spot though my monitor can do 170 (not that my 3060 Ti can always do that at 1440p), though OLED transitions have kinda changed how I view it all too (OLED TV, IPS LED monitors).

    Response time is garbagio though(mezha.media), so if you're A/Bing this with something else, they're both just poorly-driven monitors. Central vision has object recognition up to 200 FPS, but central vision is also a very small part of visual acuity(thumbs.dreamstime.com) and falls well inside the full field of vision of this monitor at intended sitting distances (40-60 cms).

    At the periphery, your motion perception benefits right up to a clean 1000 FPS (maximum response time would need to be 0.5ms across all transitions).

    Do not buy this for gaming, it's the same panel binning as old, slow office monitors, just bundled with a newer Tcon.

      So what should one buy in the ~$190 price range?

      • 

        jasswolf on 08/12/2024 - 11:35

        A fast 1080p monitor, or move up to the $210-$250 QHD 165Hz options that aren't Samsung G3 or G5.

      Who is sitting at 40-60cm from the 27" monitor?

      • 

        jasswolf on 10/12/2024 - 11:24

        Most people, once you factor in typical desk sizes.

        You don't push it back far like a 27" FHD monitor because then you won't really benefit from the resolution increase.

  Is the monitor matte or glossy?

  • 

    jasswolf on 06/12/2024 - 16:06

    Matte.

  Nice one. Looking for a secondary monitor. This might fit the bill.

  I have two of these, absolute ripper monitors for the price

    Franc-T on 07/12/2024 - 01:53

    I have two I use for my work pc, they are great for the price.

  Tempting indeed. WQHD btw

  • 

    jasswolf on 06/12/2024 - 16:07

    WQHD typically refers to 21:9 or 32:9 aspect ratio, this is 16:9.

    Technically all of them are 'widescreen', but when was the last time you used anything with a native 4:3 aspect ratio like old CRT monitors and TVs? 16:9 has been the standard for over 20 years.

      WhyAmICommenting on 06/12/2024 - 16:13

      Well, it’s in the website’s description, so perhaps erroneously.

      • 

        jasswolf on 06/12/2024 - 16:15

        It is technically widescreen, but you're not getting 4:3 QHD in this century in a standard monitor. It's a 27" monitor with 2560x1440 resolution, this is a pretty normal thing, and the deal is OK so long as you understand it's not a monitor suitable for gaming.

      WQHD refers to 16:9, UWQHD is 21:9 and DQHD is 32:9

        jasswolf on 09/12/2024 - 07:02

        If we're being strict, yes, but it's a confusing term when it's the narrowest format most people use today.

        I tend to pick opposing '2560x1440 is 2K' as the hill to die on.

  Someone on Amazon reviews said this supports VRR for his Xbox, which means that's over HDMI 2.0b. Not bad.

    Not necessarily in bandwidth, it might just have HDMI VRR support. Response times are arguably not good enough for 60Hz gaming, let alone 100Hz. XBox would only deliver 60 and 120Hz anyway.

    it's always Dell for me

    No difference . MSI for me.

  • 

    Bedgrub on 14/12/2024 - 17:43

    I’d personally go for the Dell based on higher brightness (350 nits), but the MSI’s 300 nits is still decent at that price point. Dell’s warranties are easy, but I don’t have experience with MSI’s.
