Considering flipping my 34 850 for thr lgcx as I have a 3090 fe and decent depth desk 🤔
why not just buy 4k 120hz tv?
S
Samsung Odyssey G7 27" owner. I LOVE this display. Its the perfect monitor that finds a nice balance of above average in quality and above average in gaming performance. I will note, its not the best. If you are purely after the BEST gaming performance. 1080p is still king. If you are running a 3070, 3080 series GPU. The Odyssey G7 would be perfect. I justified the purchase due to the 240hz refresh rate that is above average for the majority of gaming setups and VERY rare in a 1440p display. 1440p is a very high quality display and if you are a gamer that does online PVP. Go 1440p or 1080p and skip out on the 4k. The picture quality is not worth the performance drop. If you have played on a 240hz monitor. Its nearly impossible to go back to a 60hz as it will feel choppy and blurry every time you move. Just a warning lol.
The notion that no gamer could possibly be looking for a 60Hz monitor for their gaming rig is… let’s just call it interesting.
does the dell come with a warranty 🙂
I’m surprised you did not mention the asus xg27uq in the 4k monitors…
I still use a 20’’ monitor that came with an old HP computer I had lol.
When are you looking to review the AW2721D?
if MAG274QRF-QD is out of stock in my country, should i go for MAG274QRF or Dell S2721DGF would be a better choice then?
thank you for good monitor reviews it helped my dumbass friend who was otherwise going to go to best buy and pray to lord jesus he didn’t get walmart monitor
G7 seems to have black crush and oversaturation of greens and reds compared to 27gn950, can these problems be fixed by adjustment through OSD? I am also curious if 27gn950 has backlight bleeding problems in dark scenes similar to those found in Resident Evil VIII demo. Thank You
I heard good things about xiaomi 165hz 1440p. I hope you will have the chance to review it.
Asus not making the Swift PG27UQ anymore? Looking for around that same size and that 1000 HDR color display
Anyone know a good monitor for ps4
are there any 240hz, 24", 1440p monitors out there? Thanks
Does this mean that the LG 27GL850 is no longer a good option? (it’s currently on sale for €400)
That reminds me, I must clean my motorbike

LG 27GN950 is a beast! Had absolutely no problems with it so far.
I’m looking for a monitor for mainly productivity (School, work, media) and maybe a little bit of gaming like mainly story mode games and maybe some CoD. I’m thinking of a 34inch 1440p anyone have any suggestions? Don’t know if I should spend the extra for getting IPS+144hz or just IPS or VA 144HZ
While a great video….your list is too big….narrow it down to 5-7 monitors.
How much do you think the G7 32" will lose on text and other "sharpness" compared to the 27"?
I really want the 32", but I am afraid of losing quality.
Hey nice video really helpful.
anybody with experience with the MSI Optix MAG342CQR 34" UWQHD
I can’t find LG 27GN950 anywhere?
Aside from the informative content (exactly what I’m looking for at the moment) would also like to commend your collection of Lego on the background!
i guess i hate play 4k or 3k i love play 2k with 165hz to many frames or full hd 240 – 280hz when u play with many hz best than play with 3k or 4k with low frames
The LG 34GN850 has a twin, the LG 34GP83A-B that is the same exact monitor with a few less accessories for $200 less at $799
idk y but even tho i have the money to buy an expensive monitor, i’d feel bad putting $500 into one.
I just bought a VIOTEK GNV34DBE 34-Inch Curved Gaming Monitor | 144Hz UWQHD 4ms monitor, and would love you to review it. At $399 USD it seems a pretty good option, but look forward to your comments. Greetings from COVID19 empire of Mexico!!
Ha, I was looking at 4k monitors and was surprised you suggested the exact model I was interested in! Although it sounds like 1440 p such as the Odyssey G7 may actually be better at the moment.
Hello, please help me. Im targering on two monitors.
option1.
iiyama g-master gb2470hsu-b1 (165hz) price PLN 799 ($ 213) currently, IPS
option2.
Acer kg251qdbmiipx (240hz) price PLN 1049 ($ 280) currently, TN
Does it make sense to pay extra 250 PLN (66$) if i want to play ONLY cs go?
Or is there a better monitor that beats above monitors? price +- 1100PLN (293$)
I want new monitor, not used.
Thanks!

Could i get 120hz with the view sonic on ps5 someone please help
hello plz say hi back im lonley
I want to try out that ASUS ROG 360hz monitor SOO badly.
BENQ Ex2510 or Gigabyte G27F?
Do they not the actual Alienware products in Australia? I don’t remember Tim every reviewing an actual AW monitor, just the Dell models.
The 24g2 got a sneaky update that you didn’t review.
Now, whats that song by Electric Six….
Good video. I picked up the Samsung g7 27” but the curve was way more extreme than I imagined. I kept it for three days but in the end I couldn’t get used to it. It was great for games but the distortions got very unpleasant when working with desktop applications. Traded it for a dell s2721dgfa which I’m very pleased with.
Can anyone recommend a gaming monitor for a gaming console I have ps4 right now but will have a ps5 soon are there any monitors that are good for consoles?
With that mustache he looks like a 70s gay actor 😂 great video btw!
looking to get new pc (part’s of it bellow). With that I’l need new monitor as well. Just one monitor for everything.
I currently using my old pc Samsung Syncmaster 2233 21.5" 1080p 60Hz monitor, and it’s working so far as the day I got it, had no complain so far.
I’m going to play games like Scum, Battlefiled 5, Gta5…, and use it for 3D modeling/rendering. I want monitor that will be used at least 6 year’s without problems.
Size of monitor that I’m ok with is; 27”-32” 2560×1440 240Hz IPS pannel. If possible not-curved one. Will be using it in semi-dark to dark room.
What would you suggest me to buy (at least 2 options) ?
Is there a RAM memory stick kit of 128GB (4×32) minimum 3600 CL16 ?

Steve, my 34GK950F just broke… Do you touch your 34GK950F with feathers or how do you manage to not get it broken? Its been 6 months now and the only thing I did was wiping it with a dry tovel, now it looks like it has been hit by a train, panel is definitely broken
