Urgent....Need IPS Monitor 24-27"

Hello All,

My existing Monitor HP Pavilion 23CW
was flickering. Checked with local service center. Also contact via WhatsApp Authorised Service people through image & Video of my flickering monitor. They all said instead of repairs ,Go for new one.
Also non availability of spares.

Now Plan to buy future proof Monitor with good span life.

My requirements are listed below.,

1. Budget ?
15 - 20K

2. Display type and size?
24 to 27"

3. What will the monitor be used for primarily?
Preference will be...
Daily Usage 12 to 15hrs with full load
Movies
Games

4 . Types and number of ports required?
2 - HDMI
Any future proof like USB3 and Audio out

5. Preferred choice of brand
Except HP
Likes....Dell, BenQ.....Any

6. Any monitor in consideration
4K if Possible

7. Any other info that you want to share.
Prefer IPS panel
With Sync
Good for Eyes...Due to work longtime

Now using AMD HD6670 GPU
XFX - United States - AMD Radeon™ HD 6670

Like to buy this week.
Members pls suggest a.s.a.p

@Nerevarine
@bssunilreddy
@SaiyanGoku

If High res is all you want, then this would be the only option in this budget
www.mdcomputers.in
All of them seem out of stock, contact md if they will come back in stock.
These are all 1440p panels, someone in forum has purchased this, and seems like a good panel.
Although you wont be able to watch 2160p content in their native res directly, you will probably able to play them downscaled to 1440p which would still appear better than 1080p.
Note that your GPU probably doesnt have HDMI 2.0 anyway, so getting a 4k display will be useless.

If it is good...will increase the budget.

Why MD Computers...If they give less price...It's reliable Compare to Amazon.

Now lenovo out of stock....Other than any Brand... Reliable

If I go to buy latest Monitor....Which GPU will match...Minimum Budget?

Iam technically not knowing about 2K &4K.. Suggest some future proof Monitor

Matching the monitor's resolution won't be an issue for modern GPUs unless you want to play games as well at that resolution.

Get LG 24MP88HV
Borderless design
Awesome color reproduction supports(99% SRGB)
Aluminum build

available for 16k

My suggestion is don't get anything more than 1080p. 4k-2k gaming requires much more powerful GPU like GTX1080 which are very expensive at around 50k

Any 27"
How is BenQ
How to check My GPU will match or not?

How is
BenQ GW2780 27-inch IPS LED Monitor
?

@nerevarine
I read on other thread, You suggested
Lenovo L27Q & P27Q.

Any other brands equal to Lenovo?
Lenovo not available in online

plenty of 1080p panels available at lower price. Look for LG with VA (if u want deep blacks)/IPS panels (if u want good color reproduction and viewing angle)

Nerevarine said:

Yeah... More Options available.
That's why confused. Take good suggestion from members.
Also not deep knowledge about Monitor....!

Every brand make stylish Advertised...Make trapping.

Preference will be...
IPS
27"
Supporting my GPU
Good Warranty Period
Lot of features with Multiple Connection

Dell 27 Monitor | P2717H | Dell India

Just saw this one...Any view

24 inch is more suitable for gaming since you will be sitting very close to monitor also check if monitor supports 99% or more sRGB gamut

Minion said:

Yeah... Sitting always nearby 2 to 3ft only
My usage preference is....
Daily Usage 12 to 15hrs with full load
Movies
Games very random

27" Good for my Work with Split panel

If this goes out of your budget, go for 25" version.

No, Ultrawide is good for modern games and perhaps cinematic (non 16:9 video content) but for general browsing its awful.

The dell monitor that you linked is a 1080p monitor. I'd suggest not going for 27 inch 1080p monitor as it will look too grainy if you are sitting up close. If 27 inch is what you want, aim for the Lenovo panels with 1440p, set it to native resolution.
Honestly 27 inch 1440p is the sweet spot panel, which is a good balance. You set it to 100% scaling and you get a lot of area to work with, with the text not appearing too small, as would be the case with a 4k 27 inch panel @ 100% scaling.

I can see the HD 6670 has Display Port 1.2, should support 1440p@60hz.
But make sure you do your research before buying anything. Lenovo seems very rare in monitor space, not much review about those particular monitors also

If lenovo panel is a nogo, get a 24 inch 1080p panel

I think its the opposite, i have been keeping an eye on those monitors and from what i could tell, those were selling like crazy when they launched. Their price was even lower than what it is currently in their website.

Other than the lenovo panels, no other 1440p monitors are available in this range. You will get some panels at 28k range which is not worth it for that much money.

Go to Ritchie and see if you have any more options than what you have on online.

Yeah...Already planned....Let's see
Mostly they hold Old Model Only

Other than gaming, your requirements pretty much matches mine. I do watch videos, I do browse and mostly office related work. Since I don't game, all I need to think about is if my gpu has multi monitor support.

I have two monitors right now, I could use one more but I don't have enough space on my desk. It's already cramped. In scenarios like this, one big monitor is good something like 40-43" 4k monitor. But that's expensive option for me right now.

You do have budget, and there isn't many options available. Either you have to spend more than what you intended or you have to settle for 1080p panel. I feel either LG 29" ultra wide or Acer 31.5" 1440 panel would be good for your purpose. You can use split screen and work. Think again and check reviews. I really think one of these should be perfect for you.

I just tried sit in my Sony 32 inch TV...It's heavy huge for me sit and work for more than 12 to 15 hrs.
Mostly watch movies in TV only..
Some times watch.
Games very rare to play..
For stress relief only.
It's killing more time once addict.

Acer was removed in my list...LG 29 was consider later...
But LG 29 resolution was 2560×1080....
It's better than 1920×1080?

Also LG input HDMI 1.4...my GPU output was 1.2?

Any suggestions?

shreeux said:

In that case, strike that off.

HDMI is backward compatible, so that's not an issue.

Yeah, resolution/size is not that big. If productivity matters, it's wise to buy two 21.5" FHD for the same price and have more screen space than one 29" UW FHD monitor.

Today went to Ritchie Street.... Nothing special....None will show display...Most of them show phamlets...One of the showroom have BenQ display all 1080p only :duh2:

Still Blinking to choose :-(

You will never find a 1440p panel on not so well known local shops. Finding a 4k panel is easier than 1440p. Ive searched for months and settled on a 4k panel.

Yeah...You are right...Unable to find 1440p monitor except Lenovo, That also not displaying.. They Showing phamplet also no stocks...They take order delivery will be next day only.

Now I have two choice...
1.Go for 24inch as you suggested...LG24MP88HV for 15700rs

Or

2.Go for 27inch L27Q-10 for 24000rs in retail (Amazon-26990)
My GPU Support this model?

Lenovo remaining model P27H & P27Q will be 27000 & 29000 respectively

Have you checked this one out ? 31 inch is a little too big for a monitor but price is very good. Still it's acer, which is kind of notorious for its bad build

Nerevarine said:

Ok fine....!
P27H & P27Q also Support my GPU?

Why USB 3.0 port in Monitor?
It will play all format Files?

Yes, Checked.
Already i tried my 32 inch TV instead of monitor.
It's huge size for me.
Playing Games and Movies are ok
Not for Browsing and readings.

USB 3.0 on monitor is a passthrough from your PC, it extends your PC's USB ports so you can plug keyboard or other peripherial directly to monitor instead of PC.

Nope...Using HDMI Cable?

Get a display port cable then, otherwise there was no point in paying such high price for a 1080p monitor.

You should have atleast confirmed your card has display port before buying dude.
I linked HD 6670 page in my previous post which atleast mentions that the card is capable of it, but your version seems to be a low end/odd model

Oops...Ok, no problem..No Worries....Update GPU also..!!!

If connect through DP resolution (2560x1440) will display?

If yes, Suggest some GPU also

I m not much familiar with current GPU tech, but im guessing any low end GPU from GTX 6xx + that has display port 1.2 in it should work. Wait for others to comment.

Why HDMI not show 2560x1440p resolution?

Confused stage now...!!

I thought of suggesting an HDMI to DisplayPort cable. But I could only find DIsplayPort to HDMI cables.
Is that cable not possible?

No, HDMI and Display Port use completely different technology, it would be possible by an active device, a device that decodes HDMI signal and encodes into DisplayPort.
DVI -D had both the exact same signal as HDMI, as well as VGA, hence direct conversion to either was possible,

That is because HDMI 1.4a had the maximum limitation of 1920x1200 @ 60 hz. Basically its the maximum amount of pixels it can transmit. You cant force it to go any higher just like you cant force USB 2.0 to deliver USB 3.0 speeds

I checked with Lenovo User Guide MANUAL ...They specified HDMI max resolution was 2560x1440

Can you check if there are any settings in control panel to enable 2560x1440 ?
Can you try setting custom resolution in control panel ?

I was actually wrong, wikipedia actually states HDMI 1.4a supports 1440p.
Try setting custom resolution in AMD control panel
Getting anomalous information from various sources.
AMD Page states HD 6670 can power 1920x1200 via HDMI, maybe its an AMD side limitation.
You can try setting custom resolution and see if it works.

That is written as max supported resolution considering all ports.

Installed GPU-Z.....Shows GPU Specs..

You would need:
- a card with displayport and a displayport cable
OR
- a card with HDMI port that supports 1440p resolution

They kind of did some cost cutting by not giving away the displayport cable. Other monitors usually come with DP cable. DP is standard for PC monitors not HDMI.

Actually, the HDMI port in the card is of HDMI 1.4 specification which supports 1440p, Its AMD that did cost cutting with the gpu itself, by not allowing any resolution higher than 1920x1200.
Strangely the card is capable of it via Dual Link DVI but AFAIK, there is no Dual Link DVI to HDMI adapter available.
Get a card with a Display Port, it should fix all worries.

I thought HDMI & DP are same... That's why bought blindly... Without more dig.

No worries, DP is monitor standard, its much better and is capable of same or more stuff than HDMI is capable of. HDMI is TV standard.

You could've easily googled it. If you want it just for display and not gaming, even a 2GB ddr5 1030 (for 6k) can do it using display port 1.2 or HDMI 1.4 with proper cables.

I like to buy future proof GPU to play moderately gaming, not for display purpose.

GTX comes with many branded...Which one to go? Confused more

What about AMD?

Before buying...Again I check with my PC config to match for GPU?

You have done a major blunder by getting a QHD monitor without considering what GPU you have. For QHD GTX 1070 is suitable but they way expensive around 40k but a GTX 1060 will suffice for now.
Get this GRAPHICS CARD GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 1060 6GB OC EDITION WINDFORCE GDDR5

with this GPU you can play games in ultra quality with 40-50 FPS on your QHD monitors but in future you have to turn down quality to able to play games on your QHD monitor

For PSU get
CORSAIR SMPS TX550M - 550 WATT 80 PLUS GOLD CERTIFICATION SEMI MODULAR PSU WITH ACTIVE PFC

Please mention your whole computer configuration so we can suggest you better

First change the psu,it may cause your new gfx card to go as well.
CORSAIR SMPS CX450 - 450 WATT 80 PLUS BRONZE CERTIFICATION ATX PSU WITH ACTIVE PFC

What is your budget for gfx card,do note that your processor is quite old so getting a decent card for 1080p gaming(like 1050Ti) will be a waste as it won't be fully utilized by your processor.Better get some 2nd hand gfx card on olx or some cheap card like gt710/730 if all you need is display output.

CX450 is also available at delta IT so better check it out personally by going there as you seems to be in Chennai.Your mobo is quite old but it should have same power connectors as any recent mobo so any modern psu should work fine.

Ok ...will try in Olx

Make sure to check the card personally by running some game on it for 5-10min on seller's pc/your pc before paying money.

Graphics card 1050TI G1 Series 13500 on Olx....It's worth to buy?

No, get RX570 from primeabgb at 13.9k

Ok...My SMPS will support or to be upgrade?

Change to the smps whitestar suggested, your current smps isnt good enough for any gpu.
You may get a lower end gpu like GTX 1050 (non ti) + smps if your total budget exceeds it.
Anyway, if the purpose of buying a gpu is anything other than gaming, you will be okay with very low end cards like GT 1030, 710 etc.

W

Like I said earlier,any decent modern card will not be able to be fully utilized by your old processor.Even if you buy RX570 it will perform at best somewhere ~50-60% of its capacity but it will still be much faster than your 6670.Only point in going for RX570 now is if you are planning on getting a new system within 5-6 months else save your money & go for some cheap card & buy a good gfx card only with your new system.

1080p is about 2 megapixels, 2K is about 5 Megapixels and 4K is about 8 Megapixels (million pixels).
Pixels are small unique dots, which make an image/ display. The more pixels you have, the better detail you will see (not quality, detail)...
However, more megapixels means more workload for the GPU, so you get lesser frames per second (fps) in gaming...

I don't understand how forum members recommended you 2K display on this GPU. Just for display/light multimedia its perfectly ok, but you specifically said "Games, movies".
Where does one get loads of 2K movies? Did you specifically mention you use Netflix or so? And even Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon (6-8 year old game) won't run on your setup satisfactorily. Then what gaming you plan, GTA Vice City?

To be honest, the kind of medium needs you have, there's no need for a 1440p monitor.. I myself am an avid online gamer who games on 1080p (the GPU is Nvidia GTX 1060 6G).

Most content we see is just 720p or 1080p, including ripped movies. For a GPU, Games run slower on higher resolutions like 2K, and as time progresses, newer games will stop running satisfactorily.
Ask yourself do you have enough 2K or 4K content or access to it? (In one of your posts, you said you're confused about what these terms are).

My sincere money saving advice would be that you sell this monitor off, if you get about 18-20k. Then get a good 1080p one... And get either RX570 or GTX1050Ti with Corsair 450W PSU. That will ensure good future proofing & you'll save some good money too...
Upgrade CPU if its a bottleneck, a latest low end Core i3 is enough. (but not if you're running Windows 7, 8.1 and you need updates. Google about it..)

Alternatively, if you want to keep the 2K setup, go for at least a GTX 1050Ti or RX570, nothing below it. Even that will somehow give sufficient fps (I consider 60fps as a basic standard for competitive gaming & 45-50 fps for casual gaming, & most displays are 60Hz)...

Don't worry, A reasonable portion of the world is still on 768p (1366x768) and even 1080p won't get obsolete anytime soon...

Thanks for your suggestions and spending your valuable time.

After my existing Monitor HP Pavilion 23CW was gone.

I decided to buy slightly... increase size of the Monitor as well as Display resolution with my existing setup.

At that time check with 32 inch Monitor... Completely uncomfortable for me due less space and distance. So my mind fixed to 27 inch Monitor.

Later come to Display resolution. At that Time 4K Monitor are more expensive also my setup not compatible. So instead of 1080...I choosed 2K. But unfortunately or missed my GPU config by me. It will support 2K in DVI (2560x1440) and HDMI (1920x1200).

Since then I using as a Monitor in 1920x1200 @ 60 hz only.

Now GPU also gone.

As of now reading various thread,forum,sites and our digit members recommend about GPU.

Now in my choice is RX570 along with RMX 750W PSU. Later will upgrade CPU, Mother Board and RAM.

Or

Buy any used GPU as of now, later will upgrade completely.

As of now more Latest version of GPU in OLX.
Some of them create panic don't buy because of they used in Mining 50% of life already gone. I don't know about Mining.

One of OLX member ready to give
"Gigabyte AORUS Radeon RX 570 4GB" in sealed box with warranty. Now more panic and confused go for second hand one instead of buying new one.

You need to ask yourself, if gaming is a requirement. If so, then go for a higher end GPU and make up your mind to upgrade sometime in the future. If not, then go for a lower end GPU that is capable of outputting displayport 1.4b

Yeah... Can't update higher end GPU only....It's all components correlated.

As I said above thinking of GPU and PSU. Later will update remaining.

If any suggestions welcome about my choice or idea.

RMX750 psu is overkill for you.Any good 550W psu is more than enough for a typical system with nvidia 1060/equivalent card.For better future upgrades you can go with TX650M/similar good quality psu but above 650w psu is only for those who plan on doing some serious overclocking of 6/8core processors with a 1080Ti/equivalent card.

Ok ...TX and RM series warranty difference is 7 and 10 years respectively. Also RM price 2.5K higher.

So I prefer higher warranty for safety and future proof also any add on further.

If I use RM750 it may cause any affect any other component in setup due to over Watts?

W

RMX is better quality indeed than TXM,I just thought to let you know in case you are cutting down on money to buy some other pc component to buy this psu.If you have the budget then of course it is a good option & psu wattage has no effect on other components if psu power is more than what system can draw.It is an issue only if psu has lower capacity than system power load.

So, monitors less than 32" fall under 18% GST right?
Still some e-sites are showing the older prices based on 28% GST.

Yeah....Until few months or to clear old stocks.

But new GST rates are effective since yesterday.
If they sell monitors still at old GST rate, isn't that a scam?

For it to be not a scam, shouldnt the converse also be true ?
(I.e. monitors purchased at 18% GST before ruling, to be sold at 18% instead of higher after ruling). But Im guessing most shops wont follow this ?

Can anyone enlighten ?

W

GST goes to govt in any case so whatever extra money customer pay will end up in govt pocket only hence no hurry on sellers part.

GST rules are quite complex but I am guessing that extra "10%" will be adjusted against any tax liability of sellers towards govt as they must have got their stock at a higher cost when GST was higher.

Usually most of them do like this, afaik atleast in hotels.

Base price of a product (assume 78/-) + 28% of GST (22/-), so total is 100/-.
After if GST is changed, they increase the base price of the product like
Base price of a product (85/-) + 18% of GST (15/-), still totals to 100/-.

I have observed this with Subway and a bunch of other restaurants. Also, restaurants charged AC GST charge when they are situated outside in the open. It's ridiculous when I showed the manager of that restaurant the bill of an adjacent restaurant, and he said.. "Sorry saar, these are the rules saar"

W

That is because govt in its infinite wisdom decided to withdraw ITC benefits for Restaurants. Because of this they have to "adjust their bills" to still remain profitable.

P.S. as for that AC GST,my guess is that they are claiming it for their offices/non-restaurant locations on leased/rented property.

Will Plan to replace the whole CPU later.

Did you test it before buying ??? People sell dead GPUs in OLX All the time
