Yeah it's sad that it's from a disease, but seriously Wendel if you think you are going to settle in around this size don't be afraid to make some wardrobe changes to suit your preferences, and yeah if you think this will be a transient size, used clothing is a thing. Like honestly don't be too scared to go down a size or two if you think that will be good mental motivation to try to stay a healthier size. Hopefully he can make the best out of this suboptimal situation. But yeah it does make me think a slimmed down Wendel is likely a healthier in some ways at least and that's a positive.
This is an awesome monitor for $200. Thanks for the review and color advice. Running it with MPRT (actually BFI) off for max brightness and VRR. Text is a bit hazy in motion, but the gaming experience (OD on) is phenomenal at this price point. Biggest con for me is the lack of pivot.
@@janissprudzans8631 the option is greyed out for me, ive tried to change other settings to see if could be changed, but didnt worked. Im testing it connected to my laptop using the hdmi cable, dont know if thats causing the issue
I've been on a 1080p144 display since late 2016 and a year later made the jump from 2GB to 8GB vram. My RX 580 Red Devil is really long in the tooth and I know that 2K offers more comfy resolution but I know the frame rate is going to be miserable. I'm still waiting for those $300 GPUs to catch up to 1080p.
I ordered this for a side monitor this week. It's a good option to have a 1440p side screen so windows stay in scale with a 34" ultra wide 1440 screen.
I have some serious doubts between this monitor and it's brother, the PG27QFT2A. The FT2A is IPS, but it has a lower RGB % (shouldn't IPS have better colours?) and much lower contrast (1000:1 instead of 4000:1). But it shouldn't have ghosting, which is a major concern to me since I'll be programming a lot on this monitor.
Wish this came out a couple years ago. I think I got my MSI MAG271CQR (27" 1440p 144Hz but it's a VA panel), I think it was $50-$100 more than this sale price (my sister bought it for me for Christmas and there was a mail in rebate she forgot to do). Plus I'm using an Asrock motherboard so I'd be able to get rid of another RGB control app, too.
I had a 1ms MPRT Samsung CHG70, 27" version. and it was horrendous for gaming. Mostly due to pixel response being so slow that you get motion blur/ghosting. MPRT isn't a magical cure all rating. The Samsung was trash mainly because it was an older VA style panel, meaning any color to black would be very very slow. aka black smearing. You stated that its a VA panel, I would laugh if it was "back stock" of Samsung panels because they've been trying to get rid of their VA stock so they can switch to full OLED production.... so selling them to brands like Asrock or others for dirt cheap we would end up seeing displays like this that are ridiculously cheap to the consumer. I guarantee 2 years ago, this monitor would have been $600.... so getting that $600 monitor for $200 now is pretty insane and I agree with you that the price to performance is high considering the budget pricing. As far as MPRT, in the industry this rating is used when pixel response isn't fast enough to give a 1-5ms rating.... meaning pixel response is slow. And it is because its an older style VA panel. the thing all monitors need is black frame insertion. this would reduce motion blur pretty much up and down the product stack. only really bad monitors with horrible pixel response would not see a gain. I want to see OLED gaming displays with rolling black frame insertion (rolling as in a few rows of pixels would blacked out at a time, the same way OLED TV's do it) to exist. the closest we can get to CRT motion clarity will be OLED with BFI.... and I really really want an OLED gaming monitor with high refresh rate and BFI support. I don't care for HDR because 99% of games are SDR. People forget just how many video games exist and begin to rant about how many games have HDR. Yes, there are many, but there are 100x more that don't.... I just want BFI....
So does this monitor have any black smearing? I wouldnt mind using mprt since its such a bright monitor (i dont even know if i could use the hdr bright levels with mprt since sdr=300 nits and hdr=500 on it) but i just want to know that the bfi would eliminate the black smearing. My last VA sucked with smearing and i literally gave it away.
ugh it bugs me so much when marketing continues to call 1440p 2k. 2k doesn't exist and if it did - it would be 1080p not 1440p. 4x1080p = 4k. 4x 4k= 8k. 5k=4x1440p. If one must assign a 'k' to 1440p it is 2.5k for being ~2.5 thousand pixels wide.
I'm bugged by calling everythingAI, LLM's arnt AI nor anything else we have yet to make, but we redefined what AI is and make the original definition solely about general AI, Regardless we have to live with it nothing you can do to change it, definitions are fluid and a people decide that they mean something differently then reasonable they're still right, because the only defining aspect of languages Is can it convey an idea and the vast majority of people agree with it then it's right

@@Shiftito You can buy 1080p, 1440p and 4k monitors as well as stupid wider versions. There is no 2k. Just some corporate marking people trying to make 1440p sound fancy when it was not their right to do so. They are not DCI, nor any of the other organizations that created the standards in the first place. 2k is ~2000 pixels wide, not ~2500.
In Europe, we've been able to get 27'' 1440p 144Hz+ IPS monitors in the 250-300€ range for a year or so. Don't know about prices in NA, but i would expect them to be lower. This, with the VA panel, just seems like a bad choice compared to any of those
@@MrUnderlord666 Yes. It used to be that IPS panels were slow, and with VA you could get a decent compromise of color accuracy and response times. Nowadays, the response times of IPS panels are on par with TN and VA, but with higher image quality. You might be able to get slightly better blacks and higher contrast ratios with VA, but the colors of IPS will blow you away. Unless you spend most of your time looking at the monitor in the dark, IPS is the way to go IMO, at least for this price range. Cheers
Hello. Hope you can answet this question. I bought this VA panel without knowing the downaised refering to ghosting. I am experiencinh ghosting when gaming fast paced games. What can I do to reduce this ? Which settings on the monitor should I use? Or should I modify also something on nvidia control panel or in the games themselves?
Thanks, for good video. I'm finally switching from 23,6" 'AOC-24G2W1G4' 1080p@144 Hz panel to a 27" 'Gigabyte-M27Q' 170Hz panel to take-off a major part of workload from my R7-5800X3D CPU. I hope my Eagle RX 6700XTOC will be enough.... 😨 I play usually most games on High settings with no RT and other kind of 'gimmicks' enabled. 😀
I have an rx 6650xt and I5 12400 and this Monitor You be more than fine and FSR Quality at 65 to 70 percent Sharpness is not Half Bad if You want them high FPS
Does this monitor have a led screen inside the monitor stand ? I dont know wich to buy. This one or Samsung odyssey. Wich have better colours or are the likely the same?
Will the Wifi Antenna be supported while on Xbox one series S? I am considering to buy this monitor and I believe this is such a great fit for me. Thank you for this video, it helped so much as well!
I wonder when the day comes where channels talk about height , pivot , and blabla we been hearing this for so so long , it should be a standard on the cheapest monitor available. Also this push for high refresh rate WOOOOOO but it's still only 27 inch ... I dont cant even remember how many years ago I bought my 120hz, 1080p, 27 inch inch monitor from Iiyama I purchased this monitor in the glorious days of battlefield 3 and it wasnt even that expensive either. So instead on jumping on the hype train of HIGH refresh try to make a point about monitor sizes not really moving up instead... so yeah 165hz, 1440p and its curves is a non issue to me. Iam still waiting for a worthy upgrade for my current monitor.
Very impressed that the monitor space has trickled down to affordable prices. Wasn't that long ago i soent £500 on something close to these specs and performance. Now we just need worthwhile HDR not limited to expensive displays. Would like to avoid the hassle of switching my PC to the TV for big and pretty games.
Why is the monitor so beat up looking? Every time you went in for a close up while showing it's features, such as the stand assembly, etc., you can see all kinds of dings, dents, and scratches all over the thing. What's the deal?
i am on a Samsung U28H750 27.9" 3840 x 2160 60 Hz Monitor that i got in Jun 2020 it is good for streming stuff but it has not been good for the game new world i have been looking at geting a new 1440p Monitor i was looking at the NZXT one but now the ASRock Phantom Gaming 32" one look's good i run a RTX 2060 super
The fact that these monitors are exactly what I want to recommend to people but they are slightly curved is so annoying! I just want flat! Why are these decent budget monitors never flat? I hate it so much. I've never met a person that wants this little curve. Either curve it or don't. The fact that a point in the review is, it's not too bad to put 2 of these side by side is so silly when I'm guessing it cost slightly more to manufacture and ship like this. PS thanks for the breakdown. Great video!
Actually that’s not a bad thing. The brightness is insane at 550nits ( IPS rarely ever goes that high ) and VA has better colour accuracy whilst also maintaining a cheaper price. You’ll also see with VA monitors like this that motion blur is much better than the cheapest units on the market.
If I were to order one of these its almost guaranteed to come with dead pixels and so will its replacement. That's been my experience with every cheap monitor I've ever bought. Last time I tried to buy a pixio I got two bad units before I gave and bought an Asus display.
I have a dead pixel on my 34" ultrawide 1440p monitor and honestly, it's so much less noticeable on higher resolution monitors than on 1080p Still annoying though...
from my experience asrock's build and overall quality is just awful , it looks ok but every product ive dealt with has failed barely out of warranty and frequently has serious issues out of the box. i certainly dont trust them with my money any more
It has a VA panel, avoid it at all costs. I made the mistake of buying a 1440p 155Hz VA monitor, and it's the worst thing ever. Motion performace is horrible due to dark level smearing, plus you get Freesync flickering (common on VA panels). Just get a 1080p IPS monitor instead if you're on a budget.
@@Jaykurosakii do you own the monitor of the video? does it have these issues? i just bought 1440p ips and the ips glow really takes the joy out of it.
As a father of a young child I have to teach my boy about things that are "yuck". Important stuff like choking hazards, sharp objects, trash on the ground, and monitors with 16:9 aspect ratios.
WTAF ?????? Lookslike I wasnt checking new monitor prices for a year. This is brutal. ( even if I hate AsRock as a brand, lets hope I will find something similar )
I do not recommend buying a VA panel for anything in motion other than Samsung. Samsung is the only manufacturer I have seen to get good performance out of their VAs. This only having one overdrive setting and overshoot/smearing/ghosting not being measured or even mentioned in this video would be a warning sign for me.
Is anybody else struggling to maintain 165 Hertz with a 3080 TI? 1080p. in Fortnite. this feller says $300 cards. can do pretty well but maybe I don't know what pretty well is?

If I were to order one of these its almost guaranteed to come with dead pixels and so will its replacement. That's been my experience with every cheap monitor I've ever bought. Last time I tried to buy a pixio I got two bad units before I gave and bought an Asus display.
I have a dead pixel on my 34" ultrawide 1440p monitor and honestly, it's so much less noticeable on higher resolution monitors than on 1080p
Still annoying though...
And it's out of stock, dang it.
Back in stock $200
from my experience asrock's build and overall quality is just awful , it looks ok but every product ive dealt with has failed barely out of warranty and frequently has serious issues out of the box. i certainly dont trust them with my money any more
It has a VA panel, avoid it at all costs. I made the mistake of buying a 1440p 155Hz VA monitor, and it's the worst thing ever. Motion performace is horrible due to dark level smearing, plus you get Freesync flickering (common on VA panels). Just get a 1080p IPS monitor instead if you're on a budget.
I didn’t get any of that with this monitor. My Acer did have problems though
@@Jaykurosakii do you own the monitor of the video? does it have these issues? i just bought 1440p ips and the ips glow really takes the joy out of it.
That UFO test research facility... you a bipedal humanoid at NVIDIA?
As a father of a young child I have to teach my boy about things that are "yuck". Important stuff like choking hazards, sharp objects, trash on the ground, and monitors with 16:9 aspect ratios.
all that for only $200? panel tech sure has gotten cheap!
WTAF ??????
Lookslike I wasnt checking new monitor prices for a year.
This is brutal. ( even if I hate AsRock as a brand, lets hope I will find something similar )
man $200 but va. ill pay more for ips. but thats so hard to shake a stick at.
ugh as soon as you said curved i was out!
I do not recommend buying a VA panel for anything in motion other than Samsung. Samsung is the only manufacturer I have seen to get good performance out of their VAs. This only having one overdrive setting and overshoot/smearing/ghosting not being measured or even mentioned in this video would be a warning sign for me.
Looks like a great monitor for $200, too bad it's fucking curved lol
Is anybody else struggling to maintain 165 Hertz with a 3080 TI? 1080p. in Fortnite. this feller says $300 cards. can do pretty well but maybe I don't know what pretty well is?
I watched this video 19 minutes after release and on NewEgg this product is advertised for $239.99. TRUTH IN ADVERTISING!
