What Monitor Are You Playing On?

Hey Insiders,

Whether we’re rocking a setup ready to launch a rocket or a humble rig, we all have something in common—we need a screen to play on. With new features like the mesmerizing HDR or blazing fast refresh rate popping up every month, choosing the perfect monitor can be tough. There are now more types of panels than games available, and with the arrival of 4K and Ultra-Wide gaming, resolution is also an important factor.

So, what kind of monitor are you guys playing on? A classic 1080p 60Hz monitor? A lightning-fast 144Hz screen? Maybe a brand new 4K monitor to savor every tiny in-game detail? Or perhaps…you play on a TV. You savage.

Tell us now and let’s discuss monitors!

Who is playing on a QHD (1440) monitor? Of those that has posted this type of monitor, are you happy with it? would you recommend it?

Those who haven't posted the on a QHD monitor, do you have any recommendations? I'm eventually going to look into this direction, not now or soon but would like to know what the current trend of good QHD monitors are out there from a customer perspective on the forums..

I'll look more closely when my PC is closer to complete..

Yeah, that's something that I wouldn't mind hearing about myself. What size monitor are you interested in? Any particular brand? Just stay away from Dell! :big_grin_:

Maybe Razer will release a Razer Chroma Monitor by the time you complete your project. That would be the kicker for your set-up. How long do you think it's going to take you over all?

I am using a BenQ ZOWIE XL2411 24" 1080p 1ms(GTG) 144Hz. I really enjoyed the upgrade from my old 60 hz standard refresh screens.
I had previously used a Samsung - P2370HD-1 23.0" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor and picked up a second AOC 20" standard 60hz screen. I still have my Samsung screen but currently only using my BenQ for now.

ASUS PB278Q. Been using it for 3 years, now with a dead pixel. :mad_:
Perhaps time to change to a new monitor

Is there any good color 22 inch monitors out there (don’t want bigger one, and there’s no 4K monitor on the size), better than my LG screen on Razer Blade 14 2017? Just got LG 22 FHD monitor but the color and brightness can’t still beat my laptops screen, Destiny 2 etc is more enjoyable on Blade:/ Bought also portable kkmoon FHD monitor but i don’t expect so much on it since it’s only USB powered monitor for on Go.

Currently using an Acer Predator XB252Q.

It's a 25'' 1080p TN monitor, quite expensive, but that 240hz :eek_:

I'm running a GTX 1060, so I don't reach 120+ FPS in most games. I wanted to get a GTX 1070, but since the new Nvidia Volta series GPUs are coming out in a few months, I didn't want to waste money on an expensive GPU. (My PC was built recently, like 2 months ago.)



The only complaint I have is that its color bit depth is only 8 bit (6 bit + FRC), so I do get some color banding, and the build quality is alright, but it does creak here and there.



I'm not sure if it was worth paying $650 for this, since for $750 I could have gotten an XB281HK, a 4K monitor from Acer, only 60hz, but I saw it in real life recently and mother of god the pixels are so dense. I looked at it from 3 inches away and I could barely see individual pixels.


WOOOOOW that is nice screeen you got there man

DELL U3415W (yeah, rocking that 3440x1440 widescreen setup) for my main-rig - yes it 'only' does 60Hz at that resolution, but meh I'm good :)
Also have another DELL U2312HM (1920x1080) on my desk for my other machine/laptop, and another one currently not connected.

I have 2 monitors.

I'm using an HP Omen 24.5" 1080p @ 144hz.
My secondary is my old HP 900p 60hz monitor.
