QUOTE(terradrive @ Oct 30 2016, 04:05 PM)
Just got myself XB271HU even though using radeon, but damn even without gsync, running dota 2 it is crystal clear and so smooth. Should've got it months ago...

You are buying 1080 but limiting yourself to budget less than rm900 monitor? Hmm.... 1440p or 1080p?

QUOTE(CrimsonReapers @ Oct 31 2016, 10:40 PM)
Planning to upgrade my U2312HM to a larger monitor. Usually use for gaming and my budget is below RM900. What recommendations do ye all have? Upgrading to a GTX 1080 cuz old 580 died (if GPU is a factor).

Just take the plunge and go for Acer Predator la... no concern

QUOTE(TheHitman47 @ Nov 27 2016, 01:54 PM)
im about to pull the trigger on XG2401, but im in torn between that or the half of the price LG 23MP68VQ-P. both is Freesync but one is 144hz another one is 75hz only.

XG2401 Pros  : 144hz
XG2401 Cons : TN Panel
LG23MP68VQ-P Pro  : IPS Panel
LG23MP68VQ-P Cons : 75hz

i hate screen tearing and all the blurry image when moving fast in game, but at the same time im afraid for image quality of TN panel when watching movie cause ill watch while in bed and TN panel got some bad color if watch from some angle.

also its almost impossible to get 1080p 144hz IPS monitor in malaysia.

But gaming is it noticable?

QUOTE(pwei92 @ Jan 5 2017, 10:02 PM)
so far that monitor is doing great in term of quality and the color is really good. bezel also not that fat
cons of this monitor was respond time too slow.

Your 27in is FHD only or 1440p? I just bought Dell Ultrasharp U2715H and so far happy with it... but it is almost double your budget though...

QUOTE(NoKusshon @ May 22 2017, 04:39 PM)
Guyz, Im confuse now. Too many option. but, can recommend me 27inch IPS monitor budget 1K Max.

Thank you in advance.

I am using 27inch on 1440p now and looks good so far... no regrets!

QUOTE(powerwoot @ Jul 1 2017, 09:03 AM)
I've seen 1080p on 27" and 24", have to say 24" is much better. Glad I don't go for 27".

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jul 1 2017, 11:07 AM)
For me Full HD also shall stop at 24" as above it would be not enough sharpness.

QUOTE(powerwoot @ Jul 1 2017, 11:56 AM)
yerp, will go for 27" at least on 1440p or above.

Key lesson..

Was on U2713H 1440p 60 Hz... thought the same until I bought the XB271HU 1440p 144 Hz G Sync monitor, damn different when playing Overwatch! Even 144 Hz with and without G Sync makes a diff  sweat.gif

Been using monitor for 20 plus years and first time hear ant can enter... and thanks for the info... Will not consider Viewsonic as well...

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Sep 10 2017, 12:04 AM)
Beware on ViewSonic "Fantastic service!" and this Monitor VIEWSONIC VX3209-2K design got BIG FLAW where ants can go inside!

It happen twice already and second ants is fully stuck inside the screen!

Ants or any insert is not cover under warranty and they charging RM 360.40 for cleaning up the screen!

This is my 1st and last ViewSonic monitor!

Beware and re-consider if you plan to buy ViewSonic monitor in future.

They should refund if within warranty....

Before we start blame Viewsonic.... anyone can confirm that Dell or Samsung design is kinda airtight? Or ants can actually enter also?

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Sep 17 2017, 12:17 AM)
My first time also, but lucky ViewSonic finally decide full refund me. I am waiting their refund for the moment. smile.gif

For my case... it is the power supply cable connection to the monitor... I have to adjust and push it in real hard to make sure there is a solid connection ...then only no popping sound ... else if connection is loose or intermittent then got the popping sound non stop ...

QUOTE(xFreedomBoix @ Feb 10 2018, 01:38 AM)
my samsung 24CFG70 keep have popping sound.

tried:
1. lower refresh rate to 60hz, dont help much
2. connecting to surge protector, AVR, directly wall socket.  not much difference

any idea why else? Is it the samsung transformer prob? thx

If today I am using Ultrasharp...and moving to Alienware this model - https://shopee.com.my/ALL-NEW-ALIENWARE-34-...8735.4106051962
