I have read quite a few threads like this on several Forums, and I haven't found to much technical knowlegde in them. Here is what I am looking at. Asus VG278HE http://www.asus.com/us/Monitors_Project ... fications/ I sit about 27" from my current monitor. I have my resolution set in Nvidia Control Panel as a custom resolution at 1776x1000 60hz 32bit 16:9 . Please don't ask me why, as it has been pointed out that my Native Res is 1366x768. I was researching and playing around with resolutions, and found this to be the best picture with good performance that works in all Flight sims for me(even DCS World, LOL). (at least 30fps, up to 80Fps) I have a good picture on my Vizio now, but obviously by looking at a true Computer monitors specs, I am guessing that I will have a much better picture with a high quality monitor???? I understand my AMD Chip is not cutting edge technology, but I am looking for the monitor that will still deliver good FPS while delivering a High Resolution. I want a 26 or 27" monitor, but would 24" be more efficient for my System? Keep in mind that I am 50 years old and my eyesight is ok now, but it is not getting any better, LOL. Realistically, 500$ is my upper limit +/- 50$ 1. 1920x1080, 1920x1200 or 2550x1440? Which will my system be able to handle realistically? Which is best suited to Flight Simming. No Multi-Monitors for me. 2. 60hz or 120hz+ ? My main concern is 2D Flight Sims with a very remote 3d interest. 3.Which Panel Style will my system handle efficiently? TN , VA , IPS 4. Depending on panel style, what is min/max response/MS recommendation ? 5.Pixel Pitch? It seems .311mm is Common? I know there are a lot of questions here, but i would really appreciate any technical expertise that anyone might share with me. Thanks in advance. S!Blade<><
aap_flanker Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 First of all... Think in a 120hz monitor... Second, i dont know much about nvidia gpu, but i think yours is great, i better think about to upgrade to a SSD for OS and DCS... You will get a great performance change in your system. About the size i'm in the same question... Hehe I think its more a personal choice, but think that most of the monitors has native 1080x1920 resolution... So if you have a smaller screen, then each pixel will be smaller Good luck Intel i5 11700F + H80 | 4x4GB 3200mhz RAM | AORUS ELITE B560M | Samsung 850 PRO SSD 256gb| KINGSTON SA400 480GB SSD | WD 500GB | Gigabyte GTX 1070 8GB | Antec 1200 PSU | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS and homemade panels and rudder pedals | 24" Samsung T24C550 @60Hz 2ms | Opentrack 3 led clip

S!Blade<>< Average system, then i'd say stay away from 1920x1200 and especially 2550x1440 . That last one will drain your framerates immensely. It's 3.6 million pixels , vs 2 million. 1), 1920 x 1080 . That is one. 2) I was playing @ 60 hz for a long time without even realizing since my monitor had 120 hz capabilities. (it was my first LCD, as an FPS semi serious player i did not want to get rid of my CRT) I just thought that LCD's were that crappy. Then i turned it to 120 hz by accident. (BF3 had a bug where it would say 120, but was actually running at 60hz when sli enabled) I jizzed in my pants right then and there. The difference is crazy . One thing though, you MUST also have high FPS to be able to fully enjoy the high refresh rate. 3) You want cheap, so TN is your only option. 4) For flight sims only ? Wouldn't worry about it too much, somewhere below 10 ms will be fine. 5) No idea . Thought this was only relevant in CRT monitors. Honestly, choosing a monitor has been the hardest pc part i ever had to choose. And i upgrade my pc very frequently. You're going to buy an nvidia GTX 780 ? Well, you're gonna be sad when you're getting 100+ frames in games, but you're stuck with a 60hz monitor . On the other hand, that cpu will bottleneck the sh^t out of that videocard anyway, so you won't be getting THAT much higher framerates anyway . I think you're right on the ball with the monitor you are looking at. It's cheap, 144 hz (for future) , and general consensus is that it's one of the best monitors you can buy in that price range . In fact i've been looking at the same one for quite a while. Instead i went with the 24" version, "248 QE" , because FPS , sit close in screen, and slightly better picture quality cause pixels spread out over smaller area. For playing every other game BESIDES first person shooters, i would definately go with the 278HE. It's a safe choice. One thing though, i'm guessing your current "HDTV" has a shiny screen ? You may want to look at the 278HE in real life first, because the colors do look a lot more lively on shiny panels. I mean, you'll get used to it very fast, but just be ready to expect a little less virbrant colors. I also have a samsung S23A700 , and i like the colors a lot better on that one. Tough choice man. Good luck lol Edited April 21, 2014 by Maximus_Lazarus [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Maximus_Lazarus Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Got your PM , send you one back but when i hit "send" it sent me to login screen so i'm not sure it arrived. Did not feel like writing it again In short : VERY nice monitor, and when you go SLI with 770's it will be most excellent for that high resolution, because that is where SLI really shines !
