I've got the Lenovo R27QE it's awesome, Have it hooked upto my SteamDeck docked
bro made a computer the hard way
Guy who has built a computer here. You plug in like one cable to make the Steam Deck work, with a computer, you have to plug in at least 2 cables. The Steam Deck therefore is not the hard way, it is in fact twice or more easier than a regular computer.
@yilli: Well you also need a Dock to do this. Otherwise you are just playing a handheld while looking at the big screen. Not using it as a computer
interested too.
which one you guys think is better? I need to upgrade mine, from 23" to 27" 1440p thanks
Lenovo is better in my opinion. Cheaper and also has hdmi 2.1.
I have 2.
That’s the issue with llms, they just flat out lie sometimes.
No usb c on the gb.
Key difference:
- response time is better on Lenovo.
- hdmi 2.1 on the Lenovo makes a giant difference for gaming.
- Lenovo is a little cheaper at $197.
- Brightness is negligible.
Where are you seeing the Lenovo at 197? I can only find it for $300+ unless I’m looking for the wrong model
I have the lenovo, much higher quality and it was cheaper at $197.
The biggest difference for most people is that the Lenovo has a fully adjustable stand, which supports tilt, rotate, swivel and height adjustment. The Gigabyte is tilt only.
If you're running multiple monitors, it'd be better to get two of the same model for better colour matching, especially if like most people you don't have a colorimeter to calibrate them.
Imagine pretending you can notice the difference between 180hz and 200hz.
You beat me to it .
MAYBE a competitive e-sports person would notice - in fact, probably. But they'd probably notice any input lag/ghosting etc before this difference.
For me, anything above 100hz all feels pretty similar, but sub ~80 feels fairly choppy. In BF6 I'm luckily hitting 100-130 (monitor does 160) freesync so feels perfectly smooth all the time!
here’s how the corporate meeting went down guys I was there
Pm: guys we need a 200hz monitor to drive sells
Tech: we got a bunch of 160hz chips from 10 years ago that aren’t selling lets overclock those to 180hz
Pm: wow you’re a genius you get a promotion
Tech: thx I know I’m very smart
That's not important to everyone. This 120hz monitor appeals more to me as it's OLED than a non-OLED 200hz+ monitor.
4k for gaming is an over kill for most especially which a budget friendly GPU. So a lot of us opt out for 1440p instead.
Depends on what you use your computer for, as gaming is not the only use-case for a lot of people. As someone who is not particularly refresh rate sensitive but more sensitive to pixel density as well as does a fair bit of Photo and Video editing, 4K is worth it even if it means harder to drive in gaming.
@witheredcouch: Yeh if you can justify it and get your money's worth out of it, go for it bro.
My 6700 XT is struggling to get me 144fps to match my 34" Ultrawide 144hz 1440p monitor. A 27" 1440 will give me a 25% fps boost easily which is why I'm now looking for a decent OLED 27" monitor.
My only annoyance would be the fact that I use my 34" for work as I work from home 2 or 3 days a week. So not sure if the 27" would suffice especially an OLED for work. First world problems I tell you.
@itsmoe: Maybe try running your 34" at 2560x1440 for a few days, given an ultrawide 34" is just a wider 27", so assuming your monitor supports native scaling it should basically black out to a 27" 16:9 monitor.
@witheredcouch: Why didn't I think of that! I'm such an idiot, I just tried it at my work monitor in the office and it does black out the sides!
You are a genius! Love you bro! Will sus it out when I get home.
imagine not owning an OLED monitor in 2025
HDMI 2.1 is kinda moot, is it not for a 1440p monitor… Unless you are trying to get 240hz from it? Maybe HDR or Dolby Vision?
I believe HDMI 2.1 is a requirement to enable variable refresh rate on consoles such as PS5
Anyone recommend a 27inch monitor just to use as screens for an at-home work station. Have got 2x AOC 27G4E FHD 180Hz for $169 each and looking to add 2 more.
Just get those again then if they work lol.
Alternatively Asus VA27EHF is 145 at scorptec for example. SE2725HG Dell direct for 140~
AOC 27B36H3 Centercom for 120~
Consider delivery though with some of the above.
But if you're using them near each other even if different workstations, I'd just get the same monitor - you'll probably get annoyed by different frames/colour saturations etc between models.
All helpful info, thanks a lot.
I use similar to this deal, 1440P IPS gaming monitors are also great for spreadsheeting it up.
I'd look at increasing your resolution for your main monitors (probably 4k if no gaming) and use the current ones as monitor 3 and 4.
How does it compare to the recent deal on Lenovo r27qe?
Wondering if maybe this is a better main and move the Lenovo to a secondary
