Hola, cómo dice el título estoy indeciso si comprar un monitor 1080p de 300hz (TCL miniled 25g64) o esperar a poder comprar un 1440p miniled o IPS. Actualmente tengo un 1080p 60hz que uso a 1440p o 4k con vsr y estoy contento con el resultado, no se si vale la pena gastar en un 1440p cuando puedo comprar un buen 1080p y usar super resolución virtual y pasarlo a 1440p o 4k.

También uso un tv 4k nativo pero también es 60hz. La idea de comprar un monitor nuevo es aumentar la frecuencia de actualización de hz.

1080p miniled de 300hz (TCL 25g64) vs 1440p IPS o VA de 180hz (KTC o marca con precio similar)?

Que vale más la pena? Juego triples AAA, dead space remake, last of US, days gone bla bla podría nombrar mil juegos, single player AAA.

Hello https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8v6TMF this is my build and I was wondering if I should upgrade the gpu to achieve this goal better. Or if it’s not worth that much more money and stuck. I do live near a micro center.

I just bought a prebuilt pc from BestBuy for $1200 the worker told me I got a rtx 5050 and Ryzen 5 3600 which i can run 1440p games like cyberpunk from 120-240fps. I'm so excited is there any tips you guys can give me or any monitor tips?

Hello everyone I was wondering if my rtx 3080 10gb, Ryzen 7 5800x and 32gb ram will be able to perform good on a 3440x1440p 34” monitor. And how much fps I will lose. And about how much fps I will have in games like Battlefield 6, GTA V and god of war. I’m not really tryna play on the highest setting but maybe on medium settings. Thanks beforehand for the responses!

Hi, I am really new to building PCs so I searched a round a lot to find what I need without completely destroying the bank and I would like to know if the list that Ive come up with is good or if there are any major changes that should be made. Any advice would be nice.

Hey everyone,

I'm finally upgrading my monitor setup and could use some advice.

My current setup is:

• Main monitor: AOC 27G1G4 (27", 1080p, 144Hz, 1500R curved)
• Second monitor: Dell 24", 1920x1200, 60Hz

I recently upgraded my GPU to an RTX 5070 Ti, so 1440p gaming shouldn't be an issue, and I could probably even do some 4K gaming at around 60 FPS depending on the game.

My budget is around €170 per monitor (so roughly €340 total max).

Right now I'm debating between two options:

Option 1

• 1x 27" 1440p high refresh rate monitor (for gaming)
• 1x 27" 4K 60Hz monitor (for productivity, coding, watching movies/videos, etc.)

Option 2

• 2x 27" 1440p high refresh rate monitors

Another thing I'm unsure about is curved vs. flat.

My current AOC is a 1500R curved monitor, and I've gotten used to it. I really like the immersion, but it seems like most curved 1440p monitors from well-known brands are outside my budget.

The curved monitors I can afford are mostly brands like KTC, Z-Edge, Amzfast, etc., and they're almost all VA panels.

On the other hand, for the same money I can get flat IPS monitors from brands like LG, MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS, Acer, or Dell.

So my questions are:

• Is it worth getting a cheap curved VA monitor, or should I just go with a flat IPS from a more reputable brand?
• Is switching from a curved monitor to a flat one difficult to get used to?
• Would you rather have 2x 1440p high refresh monitors, or 1x 1440p high refresh + 1x 4K 60Hz for a mixed gaming/productivity setup?
• Are there any specific monitors around €170 that you'd recommend?

I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm looking for gaming monitor under 15k. Rn I'm eyeing lenovo legion 27-10. Can you please suggest any other.

Ok I have rog ally z1 extreme and I was thinking getting a Rog Ally XG mobile but newer version of XG mobile 4090 is kinda high price so I went search more and see other 2 version of XG mobile which is the ASUS ROG XG Mobile AMD Radeon RX 6850M and ASUS ROG XG Mobile rtx 3080 because I see them cheap price on ebay and kinda give a ton of fps gameplay so I need advice which one is best for my rog ally z1 extreme for pure gaming with my TV LG 120hertz. Also I like to play Wuwa, Mh Wild, X4 Foundations and all I care is to play kinda good visual and good Fps?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently upgrading my setup, just swapped my old GTX 1660 Ti for a brand new RX 9070 XT, so my old 144Hz TN monitor definitely needs to go

While searching around, a 24.5" 1440p 300Hz Fast IPS monitor popped up, and it caught my eye because the price-to-performance ratio seemed absolutely insane on paper. But before buying it, I watched a technical review that kinda ruined it for me

The reviewer tested it and said that pushing a Fast IPS panel to 300Hz causes a lot of issues. On the normal settings, the pixels are too slow to actually hit 300Hz properly. But if you max out the settings to force it to match the speed, you get massive "inverse ghosting" and ugly trails on the screen. The reviewer literally said it becomes unplayable and advised just downclocking the monitor to 240Hz to get a clean image

This feels like a total marketing scam. It seems like these 300Hz monitors are actually just native 240Hz panels that are aggressively overclocked from the factory just to put a bigger number on the box, even though the pixels can't physically keep up. Why pay more for a "300Hz" sticker if it's just a problematic overclock?

At first, I really wanted a 27" monitor, but a 27" at 300Hz was way too expensive for me. But after seeing this review, I looked into native 240Hz monitors instead. It turns out that if I forget about the 300Hz hype, I can easily afford a 27" 1440p 240Hz Native panel for basically the same price

Just to be clear, I'm really not a tech guy and I don't know much about computers at all. I just learned these specs while researching for my upgrade, so maybe I'm getting fooled by the numbers here

What do you guys think about these 300Hz IPS panels? Are they really just 240Hz overclocks? Is it better to just skip the marketing hype and buy a stable, native 240Hz monitor instead?

So i wanted to run a build that can handle any game at 1440p 60 fps reliably (including ray tracing). 5070ti came up as a good option that can last me a long time, but i also found out that it can also reliably run 4k dlss 60 fps with ray tracing (dont care about native 4k)…

so it made me reconsider my build as a 1440p one or 4k one, especially for the monitor… ik the monitor will be OLED but i dont know what resolution it should be.

Yes i have no problem downgrading resolution to 1440p to pump up fps for multiplayer, and im leaning towards a 32” monitor. Also i prefer to play with a controller.

Im open to a complete overhaul if i hear better suggestions.

Here is the build for full context:

Case
Thermaltake Tower 300

CPU
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

CPU Cooler
Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB

GPU
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB

Motherboard
Gigabyte B850M Eagle WiFi (Micro-ATX)

RAM
32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 RGB
(TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB or G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB)

Storage
2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

Power Supply
850W 80+ Gold ATX 3.1
(Montech Century II 850W or Corsair RM850x)

Case Fans
3× 140mm ARGB PWM fans

I'm hoping my desk is big enough for two monitors and I want to measure before buying my second one. What size and brand do people usually get?

Hey all, Im in the market for a new monitor. I currently use a 32" MSI Curved monitor, 144hz, 1ms, 1440p. It has been greated and served me well however im looking for an upgrade with all of the 4th of july sales going on. I game on an xbox series x, and I also have a pretty capable pc (6950xt, ryzen 9). I play games like GTA, Valorant, 2k, ect. My budget is the $350 range ( 320-380 is fine). Upon research, I see theres a few 1440 OLED monitors, and also a few 4k LED monitors in said budget(both in one monitor is out of my price range i believe). My main question is what route should I go, will I notice a bigger difference going 4k, or getting an OLED at the same resolution. Any comments, recommendations on a specific monitor, or other advice is all greatly appreciated, thanks!

My laptop is the Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 with the i5-13450hx and 4060 8GB mobile GPU with the 230w power brick and 32gb DDR5. Got it last year for 800 brand new. Im looking to build my first PC. What are some budget combos that would give it the edge over my laptop as to not get worse performance than I get now. Just want advice from real life people who already are into destop hardware and not just bechmark results. I can manage the rest of the parts.

I wanna build a pc for 1080p gaming and I'm confused between the rtx 5060 ti 8gb and rx9060xt 16gb. Both of these cards are nearly the same price. I've never built a pc so Idk which one is better, saw many people saying that nvidia has better performance and the upscaling and ray tracing and all is better and the amd one has more vram. Can someone who used both in the past or present or just the people who know about these cards tell which one is better? How much better is the nvidia card in terms of the performance, ray tracing and upscaling, etc...

So guys I’m upgrading my am4 components to be able to game 1440p here’s what I got…

- Ryzen 7 5800xt (haven’t upgraded yet but want 5800x3D

-3600mhz DDR4 cl18 (2x16gb) picking up from Best Buy in a few hours

-Msi rtx 5060ti 16gb (should ship from amazon by July 2nd) currently have 50608gb

Monitor -LG UltraGear 27” 200hz (2560x1440) also buying at Best Buy in a few hours

Basically what I want to know is if the 16gb is gonna be enough to enjoy with the Ryzen 7 5800xt until I can upgrade my cpu! Also don’t be scared to drop benchmark links!!!
