Hi All,
I upgrade my gear on a piecemeal basis every year and this year I am planning to move to WQHD from 1080p as my CPU and GPU (3900X in 2019 and RTX 2080 in 2018 )are now beefy enough to handle that.
Currently I use a Samsung 24" Full HD VA panel (LC24FG70FQWXXL) which is running at 120 Hz at ultra for all the games I play. But I want to try out basic HDR (not the 1000 nits Full Array Local Dimming one as its exorbitantly expensive) and want to move to IPS from VA. I am not at all interested in 240 Hz TN panels as my GPU is not up to the task.
This is the monitor I have currently.
I have been doing some research for quite some time on 2k monitors and I was really interested in the LG 27GL850 which is the best midrange monitor but it is not released in India and I don't think it will be as LG announced new monitors in CES 2020.
Samsung also unveiled new monitors at CES 2020 but I have seen a lot of people facing issues with dead pixels on Samsung VA panels and I am not sold on tha route until I see user reviews.
Out of the existing monitors on the market I ranked them as follows-
Aorus AD27QD- People face issues on reddit and this is not a great panel for the price of 54k in 2020.
Acer VG271U/XV272U/Predator- Lots of QC issues on reddit and the dead pixels/backlight bleed keep on increasing during the lifetime
LG 32/27 4k monitors are not a good choice as I will feel pissed off when I can't run games at 4k.
But lately I have been looking at a new monitor BenQ EX278OQ which as per reddit seems a great deal at 35k.
144 Hz 400 nits peak brightness IPS with 95% DCI-P3 coverage which has a wider gamut compared to sRGB and people are pretty happy with it on Reddit.Now what do you guys think?
Any reasons I should pull back from the BenQ folks?
I am itching to go out today and buy it.
