  • Hello, kakabili ko lang ng monitor, VG279Q1A, kapag uwi ko may nakita akong dead pixel. Ang sabi sa akin ni P*H*b, within 24 hrs. daw kung may dead pixel, papalitan daw nila. Anyone here na nagkaroon ng problem sa kanila about doon? Nakakainis lang kasi tinanong ko kung tinitest din ba nila yung dead pixel doon sa store pero hindi daw, nag-check lang kung may physical damage ang monitor. Bought this from the R** Concept Store nila sa Gilmore.

  • @all

    question lang, kakabili ko lang last week ng ASUS VG27AQL1A, tapos gamit ko ung displayport cable na kasama, working naman siya 175hz, kaso maikli ung cable so nag order ako sa shopee nung ugreen ng displayport 1.4 nung sinaksak ko na lumalabas "no display" pero nadedetect ni monitor na gamit ko is display port, tapos before ko naman pinurchase ung cable sabi backwards compatibility naman daw ung mga 1.4 to 1.2 kase nakalgay sa monitor specs sa website nila 1.2 lang daw ung monitor

    so any inputs on this?


    Wow! DP 1.2 lang VG27AQL1A? Ito pa naman target kong bilin pero di pala pwede HDR sa displayport nito. Then chineck ko HDMI 2.0 lang din pala to. I wonder kung kaya ng HDMI 2.0 ang 1440p 144Hz HDR? Upto 144Hz lang HDMI 2.0 diba?

    Maraming choices ka dito sir. Just check sa mga Computer retailers kung ano available. Just make sure to get 144hz and IPS panel.

    24", 1080P, 144hz, IPS panel = Less than 12k
    27", 1080P, 144hz, IPS panel = 14-15k
    27", 1440P, 144+hz, IPS panel = 19k+

    best brands are Asus, AOC, Viewsonic, BenQ.
  • ^ thanks.
    kung 1440p ba bilhin ko, di ba overspec sa 1660super?
    meron na ba nagreview ng monitor ni x*t**x, 165hz, 1440p ,27" va, gsync/freesync, 1ms. sya nakita ko kasi 15k. yun iba 16k up

    Hindi ko ma dicipher kung ano yang monitor haha pero mukhang maganda naman specs. Better to go for the known brands in my opinion. VA Panel is good too.

    Depende naman sa gagamit. Sabi ng iba ok naman 1080p para sa 27" for gaming and casual use. Pero ang binili ko 1440p 27" kahit pangit GPU ko. Pwede naman mag upgrade ng PC Rig. Yung monitor hindi na mauupgrade.

  • Hay... Nandito ako sa store nila and nag-test kami ng 2 units ng VG279Q1A both have dead pixels. Hassle.
  • atleast di mo pa naiuuwi, monitor test mo maigi for colors all red green blue gray black white para wala kawala dead pixel

    sir eto yun.

    local brand. pero matagal na din sa i.t. business.
    medyo mura compared sa mainstream brand.
    tama nga sir, mas mahirap mag uprgrade ng monitor kaysa gpu. madali ibenta gpu kaysa monitor. yun ibang moniyor nya madami review sa l*z*d*

  • May mga bagong 1440p 144hz IPS monitors ngayon dito sa Pinas like 'yung Gigabyte G27Q at 20k at 'yung HP X27i at 17k. Tempting is HP X27i pero aabang pa ako ng iba pang monitors na dadating ngayong holiday season. Habol ko sana IPS ultrawide ni Acer na XV340CK. So far sa mga nabasa kong Japanese/Taiwan reviews, okay naman 'yung dalawang monitor.
  • ^ sir pao direct ko bilin sa kanila, may store sila sa qc. hassle din kasi magsoli sa l*z*d*.
    mukhang ok nga din si viewsonic, konti lang diff nila.
    hanap na lang ko store na pwede macheck

  • ^mag ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD ka nalang, dagdag lang 2k php pero may peace of mind ka naman with quality and durability.

    To all: Ano difference ng AOC 24G2 sa AOC 24G2E? nakapag google na ako and may nabasa narin sa reddit tungkol dito. Baka may info kayo na hindi ko pa nabasa. Salamat.

    Price wise nasa 11k-11.5k ang 24G2 at nasa 9.5k naman ang 24G2E.

    Stand lang ata tsaka DP cable. Yung 24G2E limited stand at no DP cable included.
  • ^Thanks. Deal breaker sakin yung wide color gamut hehe. not a fan of oversaturated colors, although pwede naman i set ang color temp niya to sRGB kaso nga lang naka lock ang brightness. Currently researching on viewsonic X2405 at asus VP249QGR both of these have standard color gamut.

    (Edit: thinking of selling the VG27AQ then replace it with VG259QM. Been watching a couple of youtube vids where the GTX 3080 at maxed out settings barely hits 144fps when played on 1440p resolution of recent games.)

    I dont know if this was posted already.

    I believe same lang sila ng specs. May nakapagsabi din na yung 24G2E daw may built-in speakers. Not sure if this is true kasi iba yung nalabas sa specs nila below:

    24G2 - released for NA-EU consumers<click here for link>
    24G2E - released for AP consumers<click here for link>

    Wide color gamut does not mean oversaturated colors. It means more number of colors can be displayed.

    1440p 144hz vs 1080p 280hz?
    I don't know. Unless you're an actual professional fps gamer, that really won't matter much.

    Can't go wrong with either but personally, i wouldnt downgrade the monitor size and resolution because of fps. Eventually, we'll get better gpus anyway. Pwede naman iadjust resolution and at graphics settings ng game kung gusto mo talaga max fps haha

    Check out rting's review. They tested in HDR using displayport:
    https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-gaming-vg27aql1a

    Math:

    Max data rate of DP 1.2a : 17.28Gb/s
    Bandwidth requirement for HDR at 1440P 144Hz = 2560x1440x30x144 = 15.2 Gb/s

    Wide color gamut does not mean oversaturated colors. It means more number of colors can be displayed.

    I think it does. To quote pcmonitor.info on their AOC 24G2 review <click here for link>
    The monitor presented colours in a vibrant and varied way on Battlefield V. The extension in the colour gamut comfortably beyond sRGB added a good dose of extra vibrancy and saturation

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider told a similar story. The environments appeared vivid with moderately high saturation levels Skin tones on the game, including that of main character Lara Croft, often reflected the somewhat higher than intended saturation levels by appearing a bit too tanned.

    From a reddit user who reviewed the AOC 24G2 with 122 upvotes, he listed it as a con. <click here for link>
    Wide color gamut can cause colors to look oversaturated/inaccurate in most programs.

    Displayninja concludes the AOC 24G2 as a monitor with oversaturated colors.<click here for link>
    Along with the AOC 24G2, it’s the best gaming monitor under $200. Some users might even prefer the XG2405 to AOC’s model as it doesn’t have as a gamery design and as (over)saturated colors.

    <click here for link>
    Moreover, the monitor covers 126% of the sRGB color space for more saturated and lifelike colors. Not all users prefer this saturated look as it makes colors appear neon-like: reds can appear pinkish, yellow is a kind of orange, etc.

    1440p 144hz vs 1080p 280hz?
    I don't know. Unless you're an actual professional fps gamer, that really won't matter much.

    144hz on a 1440p is pretty hard to maintain, i think having the 1080p VG259QM should have a constant 144hz or more if paired with a GTX 3070 (once released) or a better GPU variant. The VG259QM, when compared to VG27AQ, has a better response time on 80-60hz which is favorable to console gaming. I factored this is since i am getting the PS5 once its out. The PS4 just died a month ago.

    As evident with the new GPU GTX 3080 it barely hits 144fps on 1440p. How much more if you have a less powerful GPU, hello motion blur (or worst 30 frames playing MAFIA definitive edition with my current GTX 1060). Didnt bother to finish the first mission, still waiting for the GTX 3070 to be released, hopefully it maintains 144hz or more on a 1080p display with ease.

    Pwede naman iadjust resolution

    Personally, I wouldn't do this, playing 1080p on a 1440p native monitor is bad compared to playing 1080p on a 1080p native display. Someone already posted this on YouTube, just cant find it.

    I'm currently rocking dual display with VG27AQ and VX239H (8 years old monitor, its still alive and kicking hopefully it dies sooner so I can replace this with a 24" 1080p 144hz and i wouldn't have to sell the VG27AQ).

    I agree with you. My MacBook Pro has a wide gamut panel and whenever I watch videos using VLC player, the human skin tones are noticeably reddish and green objects like grass and plants are a way too vibrant.

    There are a couple of ways I know of to address oversaturation of sRGB or standard color gamut content on wide gamut displays. As you already know, if the wide gamut monitor has an sRGB mode in the the OSD, set it to that if you mainly view standard gamut content. Having an sRGB mode with fully adjustable gamma, contrast and brightness is a consideration of mine when I decide to upgrade my monitor to one with a wide gamut panel like on an HDR display.

    The second way is to use color managed apps (browsers, image viewers, video players, etc.) which works best when you view or work with both standard and wide gamut content with embedded or tagged color profiles. Images and videos without tagged color profiles should automatically revert to sRGB mode in the color managed app. On my MBP, I switched from VLC to Quicktime player and more recently Optimus Player on macos which renders the color of standard gamut videos correctly. This works best when the display is calibrated and profiled. The only drawback here is with games which has no color management whatsoever as far as I know.

    In the end, I believe this only really matters to those who require color accuracy or those people who are bothered by it which is why the color accurate options for consumer monitors are very limited. Most people don't notice or mind if the colors are oversaturated on their TVs and monitors and quite a few actually prefer the vibrant colors and think accurate colors are dull.
  • I always set my monitors' profile to sRGB and look for suitable ICC profiles for my monitor.

  • I had my VX239H on sRGB. The AOC 24G2 was already my choice for a new 24" 1080p 144hz unfortunately its sRGB mode locks the brightness at 278 cd/m², too bright for my liking. One would say "Adjust brightness via nvidia control panel", it doesnt really control the hardware aspect of the monitor's luminance but gives it a filter (like in tiktok) that darkens the screen.
  • ^i agree brightness and contrast on nvidia or adrenalin is really off, saturation lang ginagalaw ko, and load different icc profile from different monitoor

    some monitor like in the case of MSI may app to adjust hardware settings thru usb connection from monitor, and can create profile and load automatically depende sa game na irarun or apps, no more hassle in changing settings
