      If you're fine with 60hz it's decent.

        IMO a 144hz monitor makes gaming a lot smoother IF you have a PC that can run games at high FPS (or if not, you are willing to tune down the visuals to get higher FPS).

        You would have to get a TN panel for a 144hz monitor in this price range. A 144hz IPS panel will set you back an arm and a leg currently.

        The colours are truer on an IPS panel and the viewing angles are better.

        The response times are generally lower on a TN panel, but it's not that noticeable with IPS monitors these days (this one is only 3ms for example, compared to 1ms on a TN panel).

        I too agree that it'd be silly not to pay the extra bit of dosh for 2560x1440.

        This monitor however will do fine for people just wanting entertainment (such as console gaming) for productivity you'll want a higher resolution.

          Nit picking but that monitor is not IPS, it has a VA panel. Just got one recently myself, is excellent for the price despite a few drawbacks.

        • thatguyfromthatplace on 04/02/2018 - 14:59
          +3

          @scrimshaw: The panel has some pretty slow black to white transitions. You will see smearing in dark scenes, and trailing when going from dark to light content. Also, the stand is wobbly, and you can't replace it as there are no VESA mounting holes. Aside from that it's pretty decent.

          @Icecold5000:

          Bottom line - The AOC is good enough if you aren't into serious gaming.

          The AOC has excellent colour reproduction too with 100% sRGB.

          I would pick the AOC over the Philips.

          I don’t even own any consoles that output higher than 1080p.

        • netsurfer on 04/02/2018 - 17:43

          @scrimshaw: VA Panels:

          [-] Colour shift (when you move away from the middle)
          [-] Input lag tends to be higher than IPS, and certainly higher than TN, Some can be really laggy

          [+] Great blacks and higher contract ratio (compared to IPS and TN)
          [+] Viewing angle is better than TN
          [+] Less likely to get dead pixel

          For me, the colour shift can be quite annoying.

          Cheers, grabbed one of those AOC Q3279VWF from shopping express.

          $291 delivered is nice for a 31.5" QHD display.

          This will be a nice monitor for my dev machine.

        • resisting the urge on 05/02/2018 - 09:09

          @iDroid: Had one of these for a while.

          The screen is great, but the sound is shite
          No VESA mount
          Hard to use controls made worse by a wobbly stand

          Amazing how close to stellar a product can be but they have to keep making the same mistakes and persist in re-inventing the wheel just to make a new model. I'd settle on a good, minimal bezel, and just upgrade the internals and the rear case to accommodate the internal changes- and of course, retain the vesa mount, doh!

        • iDroid on 05/02/2018 - 09:41

          @zerovelocity: Yep, sound like some improvement there.

          I just want it for my dev monitor - so it'll sit still and never move or need adjustment.

          As long as the screen is large, high res and clear - I'm happy!

        • resisting the urge on 05/02/2018 - 10:56

          @iDroid: Fine for one input.

          I'd still get a VESA version with a non pedestal stand, if I did it again. But it scrolls VGA>DVI>HDMI>DP so 4 presses to go round the bush leaves your screen groovin' aroun' like a circus clown.

          I switch a bit. Considering affixing some rods to stop that stupidity. Maybe I'll pop the bexel off and see if I can't liberate the buttons onto the front panel where I can see them too.

    Is this monitor really all that good? I want an IPS screen to use in my bedroom as a display for games consoles when the main TV is in use, using headphones for sound or maybe buy a HDMI audio splitting device and plug in some cheap PC speakers.

    $245 at PC Case Gear, but that's only an option if you're in Vic and select store pick up during the checkout. As mentioned above, it's also $245 at MSY.

    Kogan have this listed for $279, but you can it get for ~$227 through this method;

    1. Purchase a $50 off $120 Kogan voucher from eBay or the classifieds page. The lowest I can see on eBay is for $8.75.
    2. Create a new Kogan account via this page to get $10 in credit.
    3. Make sure you have signed up to Shipster with the same email, so you can get free shipping.
    4. Total should be $227.75 shipped (279+8.75-50-10)

  • caprimulgus on 04/02/2018 - 15:25

    Would this be a decent option for a “portable” (transportable) TV for a Nintendo Switch?

    Or better to grab a cheap 40-42” TV instead?

    • AustriaBargain on 04/02/2018 - 15:42

      I think it might be, Switch docked is only 1080p anyway. And you won't get an IPS at 40" cheap. I just noticed this has built in speakers, and presumably a built in headphone jack. The built in speakers I bet sound garbage but plug in any kind of speaker into that headphone jack and I bet it sounds just fine.

It has HDMI plus VGA etc and built-in speakers. However, power button and connectors are at the back and very fiddly to play around. Quite a good screen.

    I would say 2560x1440 is a minimum at this size. I upgraded from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at 27" and I can absolutely tell the difference - text is sharper, it's easier on the eyes and you get heaps more real estate. Given there are 1440p options around for not much more (i.e. around $50 or so more), I would go with that.

    I would say that the difference from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 is bigger than that from 2560x1440 to 4K just because with 4K, you get things sharper, but you don't get much more desktop space due to having to use scaling (otherwise everything is tiny).

  • AkiraSaito on 05/02/2018 - 01:13

    I have two of these as my dual monitor desktop setup when it was on sale for $249 like a year ago. Mostly for coding and youtubing and they are doing a great job, also occasionally used for PS4 so the 1080p is not really an issue for me. However, if I had an option between $279 1080p and $299 1440p, I would definitely go for the latter one. I am now very tempted to buy a 1440p as an external monitor for my MBP.

    However, I got no space for another monitor at home now. Two 32' monitors look great but they also require a bigger desk or some solid mounting rack. My desk is 140cm wide and it barely fits two 32' monitors
