Need to buy a new monitor

[uboats]

I plan to buy a new monitor as my DCS main view. Since current one had big color issue that the grey in my monitor is bright white for all others. I don't know how to tune the current AOC monitor which is old.

 

So I want a new one with 24-25" size, but no idea but which one. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Those are not specifically made for gaming, but the Dell Ultrasharp line of monitors are awesome with DCS. Probably less awesome if you play a lot of kiddy FPS games. I use the 25" version. It is 2 inches less, but the same resolution (2550X1400) and 200 euros cheaper then the 27"version. I ran DCS on a 1080p resolution on a generic monitor before, but when I saw the Dell Ultrasharp with DCS at a mate's house, I was sold.

thx for recommendation, i will look at that one!

Don't worry about the 1-2ms response time monitors, its not a necessity for DCS. Like stated above, it does affect motion blur in first person shooters but a waste of money for what we are doing here.

i run 3 of these:

You can get the same thing in almost any size and they work great.

thank you gladman

I've bought 27" monitor, and I say "Luckily I didn't buy less than 27 inch".

I recommend 27 inch or bigger size for the sim.

I bought this 27'' curved monitor and i have to say its really good for the price

I just bought an Iiyama Gold Master - 28" 4k. Just getting used to it and still setting up, looks stunning, even when running at 2560x 1440 - my graphics card (R7 250) isn't up to 4k gaming:(

Love my Dell UltraSharp 27 QHD U2715H.

Anything that has 144hz - It's sooooo smooth and less blur that you can still read text and gauges while you are moving your head with TrackIR.

So, so wrong.

So, so right. Though all the way to 144hz (to me) isn't necessary... I stop seeing the screen door blur right around 100hz.

 

You can obviously get by with a 60hz monitor, but if you haven't used a high refresh rate screen when flying WWII birds online (no labels, no radar) then you have no idea what you're missing, or what kind of an advantage you're giving up to those who do have it. Tracking a tiny dot against a busy landscape while performing hard BFM (violently slewing the world viewport all about, with TIR snap glancing everywhere) is a MUCH, MUCH more challenging visual exercise than tracking enemy players in BF4 or CoD, and much more adversely affected by blur.

 

Until you try it, these are just words. After you try it, there's no going back. Motion clarity is just one of those topics that doesn't translate well, at all, to descriptive text. And never think flight sim players don't need high motion clarity... perhaps it's a luxury for jet drivers that are flying to a radar point or HUD symbols, but the benefit can't be understated for tracking in WWII birds.

I agree with this.

 

So I went the best of both worlds.

 

I bought a 27" 1440p IPS panel for the awesome colors. It is also overclockable. I can run it at 96hz no probs, some folks are even getting 110hz out of them. The IPS panel is beautiful, which is what I wanted. But I didn't want to be stuck at 60hz.. so I bought one that is overclockable.

 

The caveat is that it is a Korean monitor. That makes some people uncomfortable because it isn't the Dell, Acer, Asus, etc namebrand.

 

Here is a great thread about it: http://www.overclock.net/t/1555354/official-crossover-2795-qhd-pwm-flicker-free-overclock-able-matte-1440p-ah-ips

Shogun, which country do you think makes *most* of the monitors?????

 

That's just down right condescending. But that could be because I was born in Korea. :D

haha that is an excellent point!

 

I wasn't trying to be condescending. I apologize if it came across that way. I should have rephrased it that it ships direct from Korea and not sold under the popular name brands such as Acer, Asus, Dell, etc. :)

[hansangb]

No offense taken! It was my attempt at levity and I totally get your point.

 

After all, I did plunk down over $300USD to a furniture maker in Croatia who made rudders on the side! :) LOL. Best of luck it your new monitor.

[RightStuff]

Not a special suggestion, but maybe you'll like to narrow down the whole bunch of monitors by selecting your personal "must have" features using this site:

Good luck!
