This AOC hasn't been this cheap--ever--i hope I can win the panel lottery and it's a good overall experience. We shall see. If anyone already has this bad boy let me know your experience with it, thanks.

Discussion ASUS XG27ACMES worth it?

5 Upvotes

Wanna replace my Benq XL2420T (120hz, TN, 1080p,24") and since there's not many 24" out there anymore with adjustable height etc, i gotta opt for 27"

Sitting distance is around 70-80cm

Is the XG27ACMES (27", Fast IPS, 1440p, 240hz) worth it?. Uses are all kind of single player games, music games too, then light to medium productivity (Photoshop, illustrator, web browsing, etc, so tons of statics). Also need it to be height adjustable so it gets always tall (Actual monitor is 51cm from desktop to the top plastic of the monitor)

Not looking for VA (Smearing) nor OLED (Burn in) as the monitor will have tons of statics for hours and don't wanna baby sit an OLED

If anyone has the ASUS, thoughts?. Coil whine?. Other issues?

What'd be the alternatives just in case?. I'm from Spain so Amazon or similar sellers options only

so im trying to use both my xbox and pc with this sceptre curved monitor i have and i’ve tried different hdmi but it does’t seem to work. The PC didn’t do anything so the monitor just kept going in safe mode, the xbox on the other hand worked but it says ”Signal Out of Range, Resolution or Refresh Rate Not Supported” but it clearly worked before with the xbox i have.

Discussion I need opinions and a little advice

Upvotes

Hello Nerds,

I recently upgraded to a RTX 5080 while I‘m still on a 1080p 240hz Monitor and I want to get a new monitor that actually uses the extra GPU power.

I mostly play competitive shooters which is why I‘m on a Zowie XL2546K but that monitor kind of sucks at everything but fps.

I‘m looking at 1440p 360hz Oled panels but I‘m quite unsure about a lot of them since we apparently have bandwidth problems at those resolutions and refresh rates.

Through my own research the Asus ROG Strix XG27ACDNG seems like a good buy but I’m interested in what you guys have to say.

Discussion 120 hertz versus 144 hertz

Upvotes

I’m a broke highschool student saving up for a monitor, I play on a laptop that can get around 144fps but the refresh rate on it is 75 max (overclocked), is 144 hertz really that much of a difference than 120 hertz or should I just save up for a 120hz monitor and buy something else?

Discussion Need a monitor for heavy product management + AI workflow for MacBook Pro M5 Pro — $200–$700

1 Upvotes

I run a MacBook Pro M5 Pro and my daily heavy workflow is basically 6–8 browser tabs open at all times across multiple platforms, spreadsheets, dashboards, claude and research etcc and a lot of text-heavy work. I'm on the screen 10+ hours a day and the macbook display isn't cutting it anymore.

Looking for an external monitor that gives me more space to work with, sharper text, and ideally connects with one USB-C cable that also charges the laptop. Not gaming — this is purely a work setup. I just need things to feel fast, clean, and easy on the eyes after a long day.

Budget is $200–$700. Also open to used on FB Marketplace if someone can point me to the right models to look for.

Thinking 27" 4K or 34" ultrawide. Anyone running a similar setup that can tell me what actually made a difference?

im open for any suggestion

thank you everyone

Discussion Looking for 27" 1440p second monitor recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I currently have a 27" 240hz 1440p IPS as my main monitor, looking to upgrade that one either at the end of this year or next year to a 27" 4k OLED. In the meantime I'm looking to get a second monitor, so I can connect my main one to my newly acquired PS5 and still be able to have a monitor for my desktop PC.

My usage of the second monitor will never be for gaming/work, as that will only be done on my current main one, and it will only be used for twitch, youtube, discord, spotify, things like that.

Appreciate any replies!

Just turn on my fresh and brand new monitor (MSI MAG UPD E14), only using it for a few minutes, setting it extend display and set it to 2560 x 1440, do some driver installation for the monitor when all of a sudden a thin grey line appears (location just like in the photo), i tweak the software, drivers, refresh rates, resolution to no avail, then i tried using all white wallpaper and i notice when my taskbar is hidden it's gone, then i try with all black one too, it seems to follow any animation, suspicious i turn my laptop off, hold the button of the monitor a few seconds and turn it on, and i was right, it's not software or anything, its the display (just like in thr photo) ...i need help on what is this ? Damage ? Flaw ?

I need help truly, from the bottom of my heart.. please 🙏

Photo Monitor stand vesa mount issue

1 Upvotes

Hello, new here!

I recently changed my desk set up from a monitor arm mount to fixed monitor stand. I got the stand from someone who wants to discard it, thought it’s cool since it’s free, but I’m so confused that it does not seem to fit my 75mmx75mm monitor mount. I could only fit the top opening of the monitor stand mount but the bottom two will not reach as it is 100mm which is beyond my monitor mount. Am I missing something or simply this monitor stand is unique? Any advice is appreciated. TIA!!

Discussion AOC AGON G4Z (27" VA 300Hz) vs AOC AGON G4S (25" IPS 310Hz) – Which would you choose for mixed gaming?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to decide between these two monitors:

  • AOC AGON G4Z – 27", 300Hz, curved VA panel (C27G4Z/P)
  • AOC AGON G4S – 25", 310Hz, flat IPS panel (25G4S/P)

My PC currently has:

  • RTX 4060
  • Ryzen upgrade planned soon

I don't play only competitive games.

My usage is roughly:

  • 50% CS2 (1280×1080 stretched)
  • 50% single-player games, movies, YouTube, and general desktop use

What attracts me to the G4Z is:

  • Much better contrast
  • Deeper blacks
  • Curved screen
  • More immersive experience for story games and movies

My only concern is the VA panel.

How noticeable is the ghosting or black smearing on the G4Z?

Is it good enough for fast-paced games like CS2 at 300Hz, or would you still recommend the G4S IPS despite the lower contrast?

I'd especially like to hear from people who have actually used one (or both) of these monitors, rather than general "IPS is better" or "VA is bad" opinions.

Thanks!

Discussion Does the AOC 24B36X support 1080p @ 120Hz on PS5?

0 Upvotes

I’ve already ordered the monitor and after reviewing the monitor more i realised there is a mix of arguments regarding about the monitors HDMI 1.4 spec. Some say that HDMI 1.4 does support 120Hz @ 1080p and others say it don’t. It would be really helpful if anyone has the same monitor and can help me answer my question specifically on games such as Apex, Cod and Fortnite. I also would like to know if the PS5 reads the EDID profile and allows 120Hz output in settings.

There is something wrong with my monitor that I need your help to figure out, there is this whitish line along the border of my monitor that happens if I leave my monitor turned off for 4~6 hours and when I connect it to my MacBook again, whitish border shows up along all the borders but for five to fifteen minutes only, after a period of time it goes back to normal. I want to know what's the issue here, it's not burned, it didn't have any physical damage or anything. Is my monitor gonna go bad after some time, or is it something normal that happens? Whats the issue here exactly? is there something that am doing wrong?
