$310 seems pretty steep for a 24" 1080p/60Hz IPS monitor, let alone one that is 8ms...am I missing something here? I understand that there are very small bezels but is that the only selling feature?

This BenQ is a 27" 1440p/60Hz IPS monitor for the same price.

u/tow66 · 5 pointsr/Monitors


The BenQ GW2765H is $350 on B&H and Amazon. This is a 27 inch 1440p monitor.

IPS version sometimes goes on sale for the same price.

u/rolfraikou · 5 pointsr/buildapcsales

What the hell does 1ms matter if it's not for gaming? And if you're gaming why the hell are you using 60hz? Do you know how short a millisecond is? For one, only the best of the best would really honestly feel the difference between 1ms and 4ms.

Two, if a millisecond matters that much to you, then 60hz would have to be unusable. I don't see how you wouldn't see the contradiction in this.

Back when we were dealing with 20ms delays on IPS this argument made sense, but my god. The difference between 1 and 4. It's like someone claiming they can taste three more grains of salt on their french fry.

Do you like viewing things? If yes, would you like to see them in more or less color? TN offers you less color. IPS offers you more.

Yes, you can be forced to sit in one perfect angle to view content without issues, which, I will tell you right now, a 27" monitor that is TN, you will see shift sitting any reasonable distance from the monitor at the edges.

Or you can just buy a monitor that isn't shit from the same people.

Just do your neck/back and eyes a favor and get the IPS version for $20 more.

BenQ is known for calibrating their IPS monitors pretty well right out of the box too.

u/zeohi · 4 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

Looking to sell these - used them for basic gaming for a few months and they work fine, just want to upgrade to 144hz gsync. What price do you guys think wouldn't be ridiculous? I'm hoping something like $275 each. Am I reaching?

u/crlyon · 4 pointsr/buildapcsales

I don't know why you are getting downvoted and criticized here. I don't think this is a terrible deal for a 27" 144hz monitor. However, here are a few options that might be better, given your current hardware:

24" 1080P 144hz TN monitor with G-Sync

27" 1440P 60hz IPS Monitor

27" 1080p 144Hz TN Monitor that's $100 cheaper

The first one is G-Sync compatible which the 970s support, but you'd have to drop down to 24" to stay in that price range. For 27" with G-Sync it would be more like $500. Ignore the people here saying to Freesync, which is pointless with a 970 build.

If you don't care about G-Sync, the second one gives you the better IPS display but you lose the 144hz refresh rate. An IPS 144hz monitor is gonna run you over $500.

The third option is essentially the same specs as the one you linked but cheaper.

u/grantpalin · 4 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

Any personal experiences with BenQ monitors? I'm looking at the GW2765HT (27", 60Hz, 2560x1440). The BenQ ticks a number of boxes for me, and has good reviews. It's available on amazon.ca for $450 with prime shipping (which I have). Similarly priced at NCIX and Newegg.

My build has a Strix 970 GPU, Xeon 1231 CPU, 16GB RAM, Windows 10. The build is overall fine, I'd just like to move from dual 1920x1080s to a single larger display.

I'd be okay spending around $500 on a bigger and better monitor. With that in mind, does the BenQ look like a good option, or is there a similar alternative I should look at? Or should I be able to pony up more $?

I don't play FPS or competitive games. I do play Starcraft 2, Civ 5, Heroes of Might & Magic 5/6, and other assorted games from Steam and GoG. Would like to try Witcher which I read can be heavy. Outside gaming, I use PhpStorm, Visual Studio, Photoshop/Lightroom, and the typical browser, Office, email, Youtube etc.

Digging deeper into reviews on the BenQ reveals repeat issues with the displayport and display quality. Mybe that's not as great an option as I though. Been taking a look at the ASUS PB278Q which seems comparable, but also seems to have fewer issues in reviews.

u/KOUJIROFRAU · 3 pointsr/buildmeapc

I searched for 27" 1440p IPS monitors on PCPartPicker, and the cheapest listed is BenQ GW2765HT (60Hz LED backlit panel). 1440p is widely thought of as the sweet spot for pixel density on 27" panels, and IPS will give you nice color fidelity.

u/Alliance2017 · 3 pointsr/learnprogramming

Monitor is not really expensive and it's really worth it.

The one I have currently is the BenQ RL2455HM. Lots of people say it's very good and i'd have to agree with them as well. Also its only around 180-200ish dollars.

And when I decide to get a 27inch monitor I'm going with BenQ GW2765HT 27 Ive heard some good things about it

u/CasuallyCausal · 3 pointsr/buildapc

I can agree with the other replies: if you're getting a 27 inch monitor, 1080p will be a poor experience and you'll be thinking about your next monitor purchase right away.

You have two main options:

  1. Get a slightly more expensive 27 inch that support 2560x1440 resolution.
  2. Go down in size and get a 24 inch monitor

    In regards to #1, the BenQ GW2765HT is quite affordable, $360 on Amazon when doing a quick search. I just bought one and have it sitting next to my Dell U2713HM (also 27") and for the money I'd say the BenQ gives great value for money.
u/jaykresge · 3 pointsr/Monitors

I think that the best compromise that I can recommend is going to stretch your budget a little bit, but please let me know if this will work for you.

BenQ GW2765HT - Typically $300-$350

  • [Product Info Page] (http://www.benq.us/product/monitor/gw2765ht/)

  • [TFTCentral Review] (http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/benq_gw2765ht.htm)
  • [The Wire Cutter] (http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-27-inch-monitor/)

    This is a 27", 1440p, 60hz, IPS-like (AHVA) display. It has solid color pre-sets out of the box, among the better options for a budget, non-calibrated display. It will look significantly better than the TN options in this price range. It also has a fully adjustable ergonomic stand and VESA mounting support.

    It has adequate response times for a 60hz display, as ghosting and overshoot are minimal. Input lag is typical for a non-gaming display, that is slightly better than my Dell U2717D at just under 19ms. This may sound bad, but it's typical, and unless you're a highly competitive gamer, it won't matter. It's better than 99% of televisions.

    It's a great budget display that is well rounded. It doesn't excel in any one area, but it's not delinquent in any one area. It has a solid overall picture quality (and if you're used to <$200 and/or TN displays, the picture may just blow you away).

    For a similar amount, the best you can really do are the 24" (and maybe 27") 1080p 144hz TN and VA sets, which simply do not hold a candle to this display in picture quality, but will beat it in terms of gaming responsiveness. Since you're trying to balance between gaming and semi-professional use, I'd go with the BenQ.

    If you find a way to stretch your budget further, the Dell U2717D is a superior choice. It comes factory calibrated, and uses a Samsung PLS panel that is lower glow, with better overall build quality, and an integrated 4-port USB 3.0 hub. But that will add another ~$100 to the price tag.

    Let me know if this is useful, or if you're dead set on a ~$200 price point, and I'll try to tailor my recommendations to that. Just keep in mind that 1440p is virtually out of the question in that segment.

    EDIT: Also using a GTX 1060 6GB with my Dell, and gaming is enjoyable.
u/shobgoblin · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Treat yo'self well and get this beauty.

u/Shandod · 3 pointsr/buildapcforme

Fantastic list, thank you very much!

Thank you especially for the extra effort to make things quiet.

@CPU Cooler: Sounds like the Thermalright might be best bet, just to save a few bucks for essentially same thing.

@Case: I'll have to compare the cases, but I do like the look of both of them. Nice find.

@PSU: I'd probably just go for the Corsair power supply, not much savings on that EVGA one for the issues you mentioned.

@Monitor: Looks like a fantastic monitor, I'm just finding it hard to stomach the prices on these 144hz monitors. I'm sure they look like butter on the eyes, but that's a steep price. I'm so used to 45hz, I can't even imagine 100 more, haha! I was looking at this monitor, was curious if you could give me your thoughts on it?

Also, thanks for the tip about Adorama! I've never heard of them but that's good to keep in mind. Sales tax adds up.

u/GianBro69 · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

I just found this one which seems to go down to $250 every now and again. Also seem to be overclockable to 75hz. I think I'll just hold out for this one to drop back down. Your thoughts?

u/jorshrod · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

I just bought my first 1440p monitor, it is a 27" BenQ and it is amazing, I cannot believe I didn't do it sooner, also the price is great.

Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KYCSRSG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I paid $308 for it, ymmv, but a great monitor, superb color depth and response and great picture.

u/Noihl · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I absolutely love my Benq GW2765HT that I've had for almost 2 years now. 1440p 60 hz, love the color accuracy for light photoshop work, no issues with gaming. It's about $359.99 CAD which is just a bit more than I paid for and it's currently on sale for $239.99 USD on Amazon.com

u/NickingNinaj · 2 pointsr/Monitors

This is very helpful, thanks! I had considered it but the 8ms response time initially had me rule it out. After reading the review you so kindly linked, I'm definitely considering this monitor now.
I'm a bit torn between the Dell you linked, this ASUS, and this BenQ.

u/RCShelto · 2 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

I think the normal price for this (Amazon etc.) is more like $430, if you have prime or perfer Amazon that's an option as well. So really it's $50 off.
I've been looking for a reasonably priced 1440p 27" without paying the premium for 144Hz, and it looks like this is the one I will land on.

u/Sundere · 2 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

At this price range, keep an eye out on Acer h257hu, Dell u2515h, and QNIX qx2710.

H257hu is g257hu's big brother with a much better stand and often goes on sale at Staples for $350 where you can usually find a $20 dollar off coupon from retailmenot.ca or emails promos.

The Dell uses the same panel as the 257hu's and allows VESA mounting. It is sold directly from Dell which sometimes have student discounts and larger rebates from ebates.

The QNIX is a 27" monitor shipped from Korea through eBay that can be overclocked a bit over 60hz. The price varies and is fairly cheap at times.

I'm not familiar with other models, I think the BenQs are pretty good and I can find them at $386 from Amazon.

Edit: I wouldn't trust the $320 from this greened shop seller with 20 ratings, pick amazon.

u/HaroldSax · 2 pointsr/PS4

Well this is my monitor and it doesn't really have too many fancy bells or whistles to be honest. I'll have to check it when I get home from work and see what's up.

Just from a basic review that I glossed over, apparently BenQ has pretty good scaling technology, even if the best of it isn't featured with my monitor. I don't know much about that though.

u/joerlegacy · 2 pointsr/AskBattlestations

Regarding Corsair K70 RGB vs Razer Blackwidow Chroma,

Like I said above, the Razer Chroma trifecta, to me, is the best set of peripherals for gaming. However some setups may be better suited for everyday use mixed with gaming. I personally own a Corsair K70 RGB keyboard and only have a few complaints about it. One of the few drawbacks of the corsair keyboard is that it doesn't work with Razer's RGB software. So if you were to get the Razer headset and mouse, but the corsair keyboard you would have to install 2 different pieces of software and configure each software to your liking. If you were to get all 3 Razer peripherals you would only have to install Razer's software and configure that. Depending on your son's patience with this type of thing that may be a big selling point.

A few things I think the Corsair keyboard does better:

  • Volume Wheel. This thing is super handy and whenever I'm using a different keyboard something feels missing from the top right of it.
  • Build Quality. The solid aluminum top of the keyboard feels great.
  • RGB MX key switches. The whole housing of the switch lights up instead of a concentrated LED underneath the keycap. This leads to a more pleasing aesthetic in my opinion.

    Couple of downsides with the Corsair K70 RGB:

  • The software is VERY difficult to learn, but there are plenty of forums where people post their profiles for you to download and use instead of having to figure it out all for yourself.
  • The keyboard requires two USB ports from the computer its attached to. (for power reasons)
  • because of the above note the cable is very thick. Cable is also not detachable which many other keyboards at the 170$+ price range have.

    Regarding a possible replacement for the ROG Swift,

    Truth is that no replacement for that monitor exists currently. It is the best monitor for gaming. You can try going for slightly different setups, but none will none will match the ROG Swift. I personally don't think going for a surround setups(3 monitors) is worth the extra horsepower required to push them. I DO, however believe in peripheral monitors being used for stats and then having ONE designated monitor for gaming. I will detail some possible setups below:

    The first step in the multi-monitor picking process would be to pick a single monitor thats great for gaming. Obviously the ROG swift would be the first choice for this monitor, but since that's not available I'd consider a few high-refresh rate or GSYNC monitors as a substitutes. For a primary gaming monitor I'd say a good minimum size would be 24 inches, but 27 inches would be highly preferred.

    Here are a couple options that I think are pretty good based on reviews:


    Component | Resolution | Size | Refresh Rate | Price | Notes
    -----|---|---|----|----|---
    Acer XB280HK | 3840x2160 | 28 inches | 60hz | $800 | 4K Resolution will be hard to drive at ULTRA settings even with a GTX980, however GSYNC will still make it play amazing. because this is 4K, Windows may not scale as well as a 1440P 27 inch monitor would
    BenQ XL2420G | 1920x1080 | 24 inches | 144hz | $600 | GSYNC! only 1080p and only 24 inches
    ASUS VG248QE | 1920x1080 | 24 inches | 144hz | $220 | Much like the one above it, but without GSYNC, however you can send this monitor into various manufacturers to get it retrofitted with GSYNC.
    BenQ GW2765HT | 2560x1440 | 27 inches | 60hz | $420 | IPS 1440p 27 inches (no GSYNC or 144hz refresh aka not the best for gaming)
    ASUS PB278Q | 2560x1440 | 27 inches | 60hz | $400 | Pretty good 1440p display. No GSYNC or 144hz though so not the BEST for gaming

    Then the next step would be to pick one or two peripheral monitors that are good at displaying static content and have good viewing angles because chances are you'll have it in portrait orientation or will be viewing it at an angle. I'd highly recommend getting a 1080p or higher IPS monitor at 24 inches or larger that has a stand that can rotate the display between landscape and portrait orientations. Here are a couple options that I think would work great.

    Component | Resolution | Size | Refresh Rate | Price | Notes
    -----|---|---|----|----|---
    ASUS PB278Q | 2560x1440 | 27 inches | 60hz | $400 | Although not the best monitor for gaming, this would be good as a peripheral monitor
    BenQ GW2765HT | 2560x1440 | 27 inches | 60hz | $420 | Same as above, but it's an IPS panel meaning that it would be great as a peripheral monitor because of its superior viewing angles
    ASUS VG248QE | 1920x1080 | 24 inches | 144hz | $220 | Because of the cost effectiveness of this monitor and its great stand and refresh rate this would also make a good peripheral monitor. one downside is that it isn't IPS so viewing angles won't be as good.

    Another option that seems a bit more reasonable after seeing the dropped price of the ASUS VG248QE is to get 3 of those and do a surround portrait gaming setup with them. This will be a lower resolution than 4K and thus the GTX980 should drive all 3 fine depending on the game. Game support for 3x1080p in portrait will be sparse however. Configuring a surround setup will be MUCH more difficult than just playing on a single monitor. One big bonus in my mind for this setup is matching monitors, this will make the setup more aesthetically pleasing which may not be a high priority for most, but it is for me.

    I think the best option for a monitor setup for gaming besides having the ROG Swift + a single peripheral monitor would have to be the Acer XB280HK and the BenQ GW2765HT. My one reservation about the BenQ GW2765HT would have to be that my friend has it and in person the color seems a little off, however this may be able to be corrected in settings or it could just be a defect in my friend's unit. Getting just the Acer XB280HK would still be an amazing gaming setup though.

    As for what I have and my reasoning behind it:

    I currently have a LG 34UM95-P. It is basically a 27 inch 1440p monitor stretched out to a 21:9 aspect ratio. This is my one and ONLY monitor on my desk. This is NOT the ideal setup for gaming because the monitor is only 60hz refresh rate and it does not have GSYNC. It is, however, the ideal general workflow monitor in my mind. This screen allows me to have 3 full size webpages up on the screen at once. I can also run a game windowed at 1080p on this screen and have a full size webpage up next to that for netflix or general web browsing. Also, it is one of the best movie watching experiences outside of a theatre or a large 4K television because of the lack of black bars and the very high resolution.

    Pictures for reference: [Picture 1] [Picture 2] [Picture 3]

    Couple issues with gaming on my screen:

  • Many games do not support 21:9 aspect ratio so I play those games either windowed at 1440p or 1080p or fullscreen at 1440p with black bars
  • Because of this monitors low refresh rate and lack of GSYNC, I will get jaggies when my frame rate drops. This is very visually displeasing and takes me out of the immersive gaming experience.

    Again, if you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.
u/Code_Echo_Chaser · 2 pointsr/buildapc

The 1080 in your system would boost should be running those games at 60fps+ at 1440p, which means you would see a difference when gaming on a 144hz monitor. However most cheap 144hz 1440p monitors are TN panels which tend to have poor contrast and shallow viewing angels. There are 144hz 27inch 1440p monitors that are IPS but they are double the cost of a good 60hz version.

As for 4k they great but will defiantly be as expensive or more expensive than a 1440p monitor with comparable features, although 4k IPS monitors tend to have amazing panels. You can always run your games at 1440p though, which will give you kind of a best of both worlds.


Personally I'd recommend the Benq BenQ GW Series GW2765HT. I own one and don't regret the purchase one bit, it's a quality panel that has excellent color and viewing angels. For 330 USD it's a steal.

https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GW2765HT-27-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00KYCSRSG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498852358&sr=8-1&keywords=BenQ+GW2765HT

TL:DR I'd recommend either going for a solid 1440p 60hz, or a 4k 60hz and game at 1440p res for frame rate. Non 1080p 144hz monitors are too expensive. I recommend the BenQ-GW2765HT

u/KindaLucid · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I'm going to list a few. All of these meet or beat your requirements, I believe (sorted lowest -> highest price):

  • BenQ GW2765HT: www.amazon.com/dp/B00KYCSRSG
  • ASUS PB278Q: www.amazon.com/dp/B009C3M7H0
  • Dell U2715H: www.amazon.com/dp/B00P0EQD1Q
  • ASUS MG279Q: www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZOO348C

    Only the last one (the ASUS MG279Q) has FreeSync support. But all are 1440p, 27", IPS panels, have VESA support, and are under $500. Hope this helps.

If your good with 60fps(especially if you can use freesync) then 1440p may be your best bet. I don't think high frames in battlefield is necessary(although always welcomed).

What I think people mean by competitive is games like CS:GO, TF2, overwatch. Smaller more intimate battles. Insurgency is my new favorite.

If you can spring for IPS I say go for it. TN is known for great response times but it's viewing angles leave something to be desired. IPS also has better color reproduction.

Also I think 27" is a sweet spot for 1440p. So that might be a deal breaker with freesync. No freesync but what about this one? https://www.amazon.com/GW2765HT-27-Inch-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00KYCSRSG

Well, it was the BenQ GW2765HT on Amazon for around $310, but it looks like it's suddenly unavailable (it was fine yesterday). I found it again on Staples (here). The basic description says 1080p, but if you open the full description or look it up on manufacturer website, it is 2560x1440.

u/Arcendus · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

At the moment I have a single monitor, and it's this one. BenQ 27" IPS, 1440p, 60Hz. I'm using this with a GTX 1070. Generally I'm able to play games at High/Ultra settings and maintain 60fps, but I'm really itching to upgrade to a 120Hz to see what all the fuss is about—which seems like it would mean I should downgrade from 2K to HD, for sake of performance.

I'd really like to keep the monitor I have to finally have a dual-monitor setup, but considering it's 2K 1440p and the other would be HD 1080p, I feel like this might result in some weird, unpleasant things when working between both monitors.

Thoughts?

I have a BenQ GW Series GW2765HT 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor

Its outside of you price range, but its a beast. Look fors something like this.

u/StorminXX · 1 pointr/xboxone

I got a BenQ. Yes, I know that I can't take full advantage of it with my XBox One, but I will say that it's a beautiful result, and I am very happy with it.

BenQ GW2765HT Monitor

Prior to this, I had an ASUS 24" (I forgot which model), but I sold it because I prefer 27". I will say that the ASUS was also awesome.

u/brando_1771 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Oh man so close. I’d seriously recommend this Dell 34” UW. It’s a bit beyond a $1k if you get two but man this monitor is incredible. 99% sRGB, IPS panel, 34” Curved UW at 3440x1440p. Even with only 8bit color depth and 78% AdobeRGB it’s still an absolutely stunning monitor. You get two of those bad boys you’re gonna have more screen real estate than you know what to do with.

Alternatively, if you want something a little smaller that’s more color accurate. This BenQ 27” which again, is beyond budget if you get two sadly. But this monitor is a 27” 1440p IPS, with 10bit color depth, 100% sRGB, and 99% AdobeRGB, this Monitor is remarkable for how cheap it is.

Okay so enough out of budget monitors.

This BenQ 27” is another 1440p IPS. 8bit color depth, 100% sRGB, 79% AdobeRGB great specs for a great price of only $299 each!

Normally I wouldn’t recommend a 4k Monitor that’s so small, but if you’re getting 2 you can probably get by with the small size. This Dell 24” is a 4k IPS, it’s 99% sRGB and 79% AdobeRGB, and because of its small size, it has the lowest ppi of all these monitors. At just $354, it’s a great value as well.

Let me know if you have any questions.

For example, these are two of the other monitors I am looking at. At first I will only have one 1440p along with my 1080 monitors, but eventually I would like to add another. The fact that the Korean monitors need to use dual link DVI if you plan on gaming worries me as I can only connect 1 to my GTX 970 ( I suppose I could use a HDMI-Dual link DVI cable or connector).

u/mmtree · 1 pointr/buildapc
No problem. I really don't know what monitor, but I HIGHLYYY suggest and almost as this point require you to get an IPS display lol...its BEAUTIFUL. There are some high end gaming ones(qniq or something) which are 1440p, IPS, 27", 120hz refresh rate gaming monitors. I think you can only buy them online though, never used or seen one.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CIZZ0QO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have this monitor as well as another older 24" TN monitor and the difference is night and day. I really like the one on that amazon page although I wish I had gone 27"(mainly because I have the space for it). I prefer matte finish over gloss, 2-5ms reponse time is the best you can get, and 60hz refresh is the standard(gaming monitors go to 120, but I dont think we have any besides the qniq that are IPS as well).

I7's are fine for multithreaded stuff(photoshop, video processing, animation, etc) and while some games may take advantage, it depends on what games you play. Most of the games right now utilize the GPU more so than the cpu(may change in a few years, nobody knows; i heard witcher 3 recommends an i7). If you WANT to spend the money, an i7 is fine to get. It might come in handy later, it might not which is why I didn't add it. It's not a bad idea, it's just that you may never utilize it fully. The i7 is on sale at microcenter right now so you'd be adding about 80$ to your build which at this point would probably be worth it(normally it's $339). I have a feeling you really want to spend the money and get something that will last so in that case getting 2x8gb of RAM would be worth it as well.

You could also consider getting 2x24" IPS displays and setting them up side by side. The two I've listed below here are 2560x1440p so the resolution is much more than the 24" ones.
u/Scotty1228 · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

Pretty sure this is the same for the same price.

u/BillTheCommunistCat · 1 pointr/buildapc

Sync completely eliminates screen tearing. That's really all you need to know. If you play games with fast movement then you're going to get screen tearing.

So if you want a 1440p 60hz non-GSync monitor I would recomend this:

I'm completely unable to find a 1440p 60hz GSync monitor. Maybe they dont exist.

u/MarcKlockow · 1 pointr/Monitors

Thanks for the info, honestly I'm not sure if 144hz is quite my thing yet. How would something like this fare?

u/ColKrismiss · 1 pointr/pcgaming

Well you are going to definitely want something bigger than mine. Honestly I cant recommend much, I only picked mine because it was the only one I could afford. I am insanely happy with the quality of it, but that might be because I was replacing a 20 inch monitor I bought in 2008.

That said, I believe Asus makes some of the best monitors, and Qnix BenQ gets thrown around PCMASTERRACE quite a bit

Edit: got the name wrong

Edit 2: Here is the monitor I considered as well, its bigger and more people prefer it, but it was $100 more than mine

u/buyingamonitor · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I've never used a 1440p or 4k monitor so I'm not sure how noticeable the difference is and therefore how important it is to me.

What makes This dell you suggested preferable to the BenQ someone else suggested when as far as I can tell, their specs are identical. Where does the nearly hundred dollar price difference come from?

Are all IPS displays matte?

What does response time refer to? Is that different from Hz and display lag?

What would be an option that is a really good value, and what would be an option that would eliminate the need to decide on what features I would like and what I would like to sacrifice? That would run me upwards of a grand wouldn't it?

You say matte displays sacrifice color and contrast but then go on to say a high quality matte IPS doesn't have this problem. Is that correct?

What's the deal with all these curved monitors I'm seeing?

Both responses I've gotten have suggested LED monitors exclusively, are they universally preferable?

u/ToucheMonsieur · 1 pointr/buildapc

In the market for a <$500 CAD 27" 2k IPS panel. Is there anything I should be looking out for with the following few models?

BenQ GW2765HT

Also, are there any other viable options in this price range?

u/WackoDaSniper · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

1440p is the sweet spot, 4k is too demanding and too expensive. I have a 970 and I plan on buying a 1440p monitor for my games (I don't play many of these new AAA releases, so my 970 OC'd will do great in my older games).

I've been thinking about getting the BenQ GW2765HT, which is on sale for about 380 now on Amazon, but now I'm wondering if this is a better deal. The BenQ seems to be one of the best 27" IPS monitors in this price range, and even though it's 1440p I still wonder if it's a better choice.

u/Poplock59 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I'm planning on building a computer with an i5-4960k and GTX 970.

I'm wondering what kind of monitor I should get to take advantage of a system like this. I play mostly RPGs/action games and not FPS games so it doesn't seem like a 144 Hz monitor is worth it.

  1. Would I see a significant improvement in clarity of graphics from a 1440p monitor?

  2. Does video from Netflix/YouTube look odd on a 1440p monitor?

  3. Any suggestions for a 1440p monitor? I've seen the QNIX Q2710 recommended for overclocking capabilities but I'm worried about dead pixels. Would this 1440p monitor be a good investment even though it can't be overclocked?

How about the BenQ GW2765HT instead of the BenQ GL2706PQ? It is IPS.

u/Schaefer33 · 1 pointr/bapcsalescanada

I'm looking for a new monitor(s). I have a budget of $400 + tax.

Games: Witcher 3 / Heroes of the Storm / Occasional single player FPS (Doom/Wolfenstein)

Computer: i7 + 1060

*I don't need games to be on max settings

My first thought is buying the BenQ GW2765HT (27", 1440, IPS, 4ms) from Amazon. Will the 4ms response time bother me?

My second thought is buying something like two BenQ GL2460HM (24", 1080, TN, 2ms)

Thoughts or suggestions? I'm open to other brands as well, not just BenQ.

u/Arrhythmix · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I second this. Using my 980Ti as a base benchmark (equals the performance of a 1070) plus my 1440p 75hz monitor, I can easily hit 60+ FPS with ultra/max settings in AAA titles. For a budget friendly 1440p 75hz this is the one I have it's a TN panel, 27", 1ms @ $260. But if you want an IPS BenQ 27" 4ms GTG 1440p 75hz it's running for $320

u/imtheproof · 1 pointr/buildapc

i'm not sure. This one might work:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KYCSRSG

The next step up from that is just going with this Dell:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y2XRYB2

which, judging from the other similar line Dells that i've used, is probably pretty good.

Those are both IPS.

I've never looked into 1440p 27" TN panels. I'm not sure if they're good, or if people don't buy them enough so the panels are bad. You'll have to dig into that more. The only one I know is good is the Dell 1440p 144/165Hz TN panel, but that's out of budget mostly.

u/NerdPunkFu · 1 pointr/Monitors

For a general purpose displays, I'd recommend looking at Dell and BenQ. They generally offer consistently good quality with good costumer support. Some specific monitors to consider:

https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GW2765HT-27-Inch-2560x1440-Monitor/dp/B00KYCSRSG

u/werdnaegni · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

Here's one for $300 with an IPS panel. Do you know if this is worth getting? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KYCSRSG/
Also benq. Or could you recommend another one? I'd rather have a nice panel than 144hz, if that helps. Both, obviously, would be great.

u/RyanGBaker · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

If you're going to save for that, you might as well get this:

Also, link me to that refurbished monitor you mentioned. $199 might be a good deal for it.

u/Billagio · 1 pointr/buildapc

Currently debating between getting a [BenQ GW2765HT] (http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GW2765HT-27-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00KYCSRSG?ie=UTF8&colid=39JYRHQS23F8J&coliid=I38FQYQGQ5RX7R&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl) or Asus PB278Q sometime this month. Does anyone have any opinions on which to get? Im also open to alternative 1440p screens, preferably at 27" (the one this would replace is a 1080 24" so id like a nice size increase), but dont want to spend too much more than what the Asus costs!

Also, any new monitor tech/releases on the horizon I should hold out for instead?

u/maneatingcats · 1 pointr/buildapc

Alright cool, we'll definitely do so. Thanks for the reassurance!

And we do have a couple of monitors in mind already, guess I should have linked to that in the post... the ASUS Designo MX25AQ or BenQ GW2765HT if you have any thoughts on either?

u/Noobasdfjkl · 1 pointr/applehelp

I’ve never seen a 2K display in my entire life. Your best bet is looking for a decent 1440p IPS display covering Adobe RGB and 10-Bit color. Don’t know if you’re gonna get that for $300. Might look into saving a while longer for a bigger budget. 1440p IPS monitors start at $200.

This might work, but no Adobe RGB

TN panel 144hz seems like an odd choice given they asked for 60hz and want it vertical.
OP, how about this
(it does rotate, see here).

u/Hooked · 1 pointr/postprocessing

Honestly pretty much any modern IPS display nowadays from a reputable brand will be fine, especially for non-professional work. Dell, LG, BenQ are the names you'll see most often at a consumer level.

Another thing to keep in mind is resolution. A lot of people have issues with 1920x1080 on anything larger than a 25" monitor because the individual pixels start to become more noticeable. Unfortunately a jump in resolution also means a jump in price though.

I'm currently rocking this but I got it on sale a couple months ago.

The TN panel would stop me too unless I was able to lay eyes on it and determine it was good enough, and weirdly the amazon reviews indicate bad backlight bleed?

Not really and at the end of the day, building a powerful gaming PC and having a cheapo 1080p monitor (1080p is now considered low end) is like buying a super car and only driving it up and down your driveway.
