Saw fellow lyn selling this monitor for half it price, but wondering if it good or worth it?

my current spec:
g4560 + h110m + 8gb d4 + xfx r9390 dd black edition 8gb currently using acer 20"/ 21" if not mistaken only 1600x900, looking for a monitor to pair up with my current rig for around the same price tag

for overall use yes, gaming not much.

- this is good for color accuracy and work related stuff.
- can also be used for gaming but this doesn't have high refresh rate and AMD freesync. Now a days, 75hz is at least minimum for new monitors.

i guess back to lurking around again, cause im more to gaming, haih, gotta find that damn 1440p monitor

u might consider LG 29w600-w or Acer ed273A

the lg also great, but VIEWSONIC VX3209-2K should i just get this instead?

not suitable for Gaming, no free sync , 8ms response time

i see, i dont know a thing bout monitor, but does the qhd suppose to be better? hrm, then back to the lg, i guess that add to my to-get list for now.

QHD means it is displaying a 2560 x 1440p resolution screen, so the picture will appear to be more crisp and sharper , graphics will appear to be less jagged because there are more pixels on the screen compare to FHD ( 1920 x 1080 )


The best size for viewing a QHD monitor , is at 27 inches . Anything less you won't be able to see the additional pixels in all its glory form.
As for the 32 inches Viewsonic , unless you are using it for some extreme casual PC uses , don't expect anything worthwhile if you are using it for gamings .

It has no Gsync / Freesync , high latency , low contrast ratio etc etc


One more thing , your current Graphic card is not really meant to run a QHD resolution display unless you are only using it for simple works.

If you are looking to play some games , you should pick a 1920 x 1080 monitor instead , which is still a MINOR upgrade compare to your 900p .
Your rig cannot really run all most of the modern games at 1440p without some serious downgrade on the graphic settings.

i see. ur reply does answer some of my question in mind.

1. if i wanna go 1440p i have to upgrade my gpu to atleast 1070,correct?
2. for 1080p, what is the sweet spot for it? 24" ? if minor upgrade, i would rather not to upgrade, but still 20" monitor that im using now ,feels kinda small for me.

To reply to your first question , yes . Gtx 1070 was the King of QHD , or if you have a little bit more budget to spare , go for GTX 1070ti .
Although this is not a very good time to upgrade display Cards as their prices have been jacked up by the cryptocurrency mining industry .
Not to mention Nvidia is expected to announce their new 11 series Graphic cards in the upcoming few months , if you can wait .


For 1080p , 24 inches is indeed the best size .
But that doesn't mean you can't go for a 27inches 1080p screen if you want a larger panel.


If you truly want a great gaming experience , you will want to consider a G-sync / Free-sync monitor though the Gsync did it more elegantly than the AMD's freesync.

Unfortunately , the monitors that have all of these advanced gaming feature such as High refresh rate , low input lag , IPS panel , Adaptive sync technology are quite very expensive . So you will have to reconsider your budget first and decide if you want to upgrade to higher resolution .

In fact , quite several 4k monitors are more affordable than QHD surprisingly , but to play games on 4k you will need a monstrous PC Rig

most probably would'nt buy a new one lol, i'll opt to mybe trade off mine +top up, probably will try get my hand on 1070 before move on to monitor. dont think i can afford 4k for now.
but yeah, like our fellow lyn suggested above, the lg 29inch very tempting

they come out with new model.. 3276..

3ms.... 60hz i think...

but at 1440p.. 60fps is greatly playable.
*(for me atleast. )

Oh lord, now I'm.confused which to get. Gotta do more research

thank bro, i made up my mind, im getting the acer, it fits my requirement well, for now gotta give up on the qhd,
