I saw this in my Email saying its on sale and I was looking for some Monitors and this caught my eyes.
Don't think its $1400 monitor but a $488 for 165hz G-sync Monitor is good deal in my opinion.
Also don't forget the shopback 2.5% cashback~!

There are also OMEN Sequencer Keyboard for $100 to grab and some more but I don't find them to be of a good deal.

    Are HP monitors any more reliable than their computer counterparts?

    • AgentXKnight on 18/05/2020 - 22:21

      As most monitor manufactures generally use very similar monitor panels as other manufactures especially gaming monitors with only minor differences in software and minor hardware components between different brands due to limited amount of panel manufacturers, HP's monitors should have similar level of reliability as other manufacturers. The only real difference is that HP has a garbage manufacture warranty on most of their monitors being only 1 year compared to the industry standard of 3 years so be prepared to have to argue with HP that their monitors should last 3 years or more under consumer law if you get a problem that happens after 1 year.

      There isn't anything wrong with 1080p. In fact its much easier to maintain higher fps.

      • Agret on 18/05/2020 - 23:02
        +15

        Nothing wrong with 1080p, it's the perfect resolution for a 24" screen. When you step up to 27"+ 1080p is too low resolution and is blurry, not enough DPI for the panel size.

          Do you know if 1440p native monitor scales down to 1080p well?

          I'd like to game in 1080 but then watch media in 1440.

        • philmarcracken on 18/05/2020 - 23:42

          Agreed. But I'd say PPI in that instance, DPI is for printed works.

          • Tythefly86 on 18/05/2020 - 22:49

            @Jenny Death: LOL Might wanna check reviews and see that your are wrong before making such claims. In testing the monitors look terrible with heaps of errors and overshoot at even 2ms. In fact it's over 70% errors on the best ips around (LG gl850). Watch the review on Hardware unboxed and you'll see running this monitor at medium overdrive settings at around 4ms is best. What's the point in 1ms if you get a terrible looking picture with ghosting or overshoot? Even at max overdrive it is closer to 2ms than 1ms anyway. 1ms claims are just marketing BS on ips panels.
            Here I even linked it by time for you: https://youtu.be/T5Loh7vOcVM?t=279

            @Jenny Death: Just gonna mention here that response time and refresh rate on monitors are two things and MEGASERVE probably confused the two. A IPS monitor with 60hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, for example, would mean that the monitor can only update/refresh every 16.7ms. Generally, low refresh rate means laggy images, and slow response time means blurry images.

          • MasterScythe on 19/05/2020 - 09:17

            @Jenny Death: 1ms peak, best panels are still 4ms g2g.

            Not that 4ms isnt also bloody amazing.

        +1

        Basically Blizzard are the only games developer without ultrawide support in their games. They are whinging that it would be unfair to other players without ultrawide. Let's forget that some players are playing with entry level graphics cards that lag like hell while some people play at 144+ hz using a 2080ti which is arguably a way bigger advantage if your aim is smooth and consistent at high frame rate compared to choppy as hell at 30fps.

        • quanticism on 18/05/2020 - 23:19
          +1

          Only Blizzard? Do other games with a pro scene support widescreen?

          CS:GO, LoL, DotA2, etc? Being able to see more is definitely an advantage so if it does truly support it (black vertical bars don't count), then I'd imagine the pro scene has shifted all their gear to widescreens.

          Edit: quick google shows that CS:GO does indeed support it. Wow. And the Blizzard hate is real. No sympathy after their WC3 reforged money grab. https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/94bkkv…

          • bunnybash on 18/05/2020 - 23:32

            @quanticism: The ultrawide in games like CS:GO isn't as useful as you think. The edges of the screen are too far out of your eyeline for it to be useful. Stick to faster 16:9 panels for best CS:GO performance.

          • ngengerous on 19/05/2020 - 07:49

            @quanticism: Ultrawide owner here. I've found almost all games released in the last few years support it well, and a lot of older ones too. Almost all of the few that don't natively support it can be coaxed into working with a few tweaks.

          • MasterScythe on 19/05/2020 - 09:24

            @quanticism: Dota does not, for the same reasons.

            Though there has always been a bug where people with 16x10 monitors see a little more than 16x9.

            Otherwise, equal.

        • boretentsu on 19/05/2020 - 00:21

          In RTS, the advantage of ultrawide would actually be quite unfair whereas having a 2080ti with 144Hz screen won't (shouldn't) make any difference to your game.

          • MasterScythe on 19/05/2020 - 09:27

            @boretentsu: Agreed, a human can somewhat compensate for slow response, if you remember CRT days, not every pro cs player was in agreement over 800x600 100hz, a lot were happier at 1024x768 at 72hz.

            So long as the response is greater than 60hz, a human can at least somewhat learn to play around refresh lag.

            there's no way to play around "being blind " because the items physically are not on your screen at all.

    • Soothsayer on 19/05/2020 - 09:36

      People who have actually tried it, love it.

      IMO it's simply because of cost. UW price barrier for "gamer" specs (1440p, >100Hz) is still crazy expensive compared to a regular 27".

          You could argue $1,400 is a rip off and I actually agree with you but at $380 it sure is a bloody good deal haha..

      Totally different monitors, the AW is 240hz at 1080p, this is 165hz at 1440p, depends how you want to game.

            @ATangk: 75+ helps in dota, makes names and health bars readable while scrollong.

            Dota is often faster than LoL I guess.

        • jeppetto367 on 18/05/2020 - 23:26

          As ATangk said, LoL isn't a game where you need a high refresh rate. If you play those types of games you most likely don't need a 240hz monitor.

          If you play games like Fortnite, CoD, CS:GO, etc, then I'd recommend a high refresh rate.

          In saying that, 240hz is also over the top still, most people see a huge difference going from 60hz to 144hz but only a small difference going from 144hz to 240hz. I personally went from PS4 to building a PC for FPS games and just decided to go all out.

            @sauce2k: Yep, it's excellent if you've got enough graphics card to back it up. Low input lag, very little ghosting, good refresh rate and great colors and viewing angles.

            Only drawback is the stand doesn't have height adjust but I've put mine on an arm anyway.

    • MasterScythe on 19/05/2020 - 09:31

      They can be suuuuper cheap, if youre OK with 1080p.

      If you want 1440p, and you don't game much, VA is also a panel type worth looking into.

      Better blacks than all, still above TN colours, and cheaper.
