  guys ok ba LG 27GP850-B? or may iba kayong ma suggest @ 20k budget. ty

  
  
  Good value, I've been using mine for about 3 years together with my old but good 1070ti. Hopefully makaupgrade sa 3080 or 4070 for long haul 1440p gaming.

  Grabe, life changing pala ang 144hz. I ended up purchasing the Asus Vp249qgr and ang laki sobra ng difference ng image quality from my old LG 60hz monitor. Sobrang layo ng difference when it comes to details din.
  
  Is there a bigger jump in terms of image quality if I go from 1080p to 1440p?

  yes

• limyar on 10 Apr 22 @ 10:06 AM #

  Yes. Once nasanay ka na sa 1440p, any resolution below is a considerable downgrade.

  For me, the jump from 1440p to 4K was quite the jump too, image quality-wise. More, pixels = more details even on a bigger screen. Even with a modest GPU, now it's more feasible to get 4K at high frame-rates because of modern upscaling tech like DLSS, FSR, XeSS, TSR, etc.
  
  On the PS5, 4K still looks good in performance mode.

  Real talk? It depends, lagyan natin ng science: The higher PPI the sharper the image.
  
  14" 1920x1080 = 157 PPI office laptop ko pero of course sharp ang image but the overall IQ is lower than my 27" 1440p IPS monitor
  22" 1920x1080 = 100 PPI
  24" 1920x1080 = 91 PPI, eto ang standard
  25" 2560x1440 = 117 PPI, dito ay malaking yes, ideal din ang 25" 2K as a gaming monitor same ng 27" 4K pero medyo rare ang ganitong screen sizes lalo na pag arms length lang ang viewing distance mo
  27" 2560x1440 = 108 PPI, dito mula 22" 1080p ay "baka" mula sa 22" at 24" 1080p at arms lenght viewing distance
  32" 2560x1440 = 91 PPI, walang improvement sa IQ dito mula sa 24" 1080p at medyo downgrade pa mula sa 22" 1080p pagdating sa sharpness
  
  Then ang great equalizer ay viewing distance, kung mga 1 meter or more ang distance mo ay medyo mahirap masabi kung ano ang mas sharp between a 24" 1080 at 27" 1440.
  
  Then maraming factors din na nakakaaffect ng image quality gaya ng ambient lighting, color calibration, panel type, viewing distance.
  
  Pero ang malaking difference na mapapansin mo talaga ay ang 56% larger desktop working space.

• lordseph on 12 Apr 22 @ 03:15 PM #

  Thanks sa lahat ng sumagot.
  
  Fakuryu, very helpful yung info mo about PPI.
  I'm curious about this one: 25" 2560x1440 = 117 PPI - Are there any brands and models that you'd recommend for this?
  Or do people generally go for 27" size for their 2k res instead of the 25"? I haven't really searched the 25" range before for 2k, usually kasi 27" agad nakikita ko for 2k.

• Basco_Ta_Jolokia on 12 Apr 22 @ 04:17 PM #

  i went with the Lenovo G27Q-20. 27" 1440p, 165hz. Worth the money.

• STASIS on 19 Apr 22 @ 05:37 PM #

  @pasobrangkanin: ang problema... after sales... hehehe... kapag may issue... outright replacement ba?... stock replacement?... hehehe...

• XtraRice on 20 Apr 22 @ 10:32 PM #

  ^ Hindi ko alam warranty policy, pero mukhang official physical stores naman so madaling habulin.

• STASIS on 20 Apr 22 @ 11:05 PM #

  yun lang.. depende sa usapan kung paano ang after sales... pero kung limited stocks at maghihintay pa galing shayna... depende kung repair/replace... matagal na proseso hahaha...

• fakuryu on 23 Apr 22 @ 07:38 PM #

  @dotangdota
  
  Depende sa budget pero kung kaya, mag 27" 1440p ka na, kaya din naman ng RTX2060 ang resolution na yun sa ibang games.

• dotangdota on 25 Apr 22 @ 10:31 AM #

  @fakuryu
  No budget restriction boss, ung pasok lang sa gamit sana. DOTA 2 lang nilalaro ko e haha.

  @all
  
  Meron ba sa inyong nakagamit na ng monitor that can also charge a laptop via USB C, kahit hindi fully charged, basta hindi lang ma lowbat agad.
  
  I have searched several models from google, pero tanong ko lang kung merong nakagamit na with similar setup.
  
  Laptop ko kasi is charging via USC C, and I can't use the USB C monitor connector while charging.
  
  Built in HDMI port is only limited to 60hz

  Me, i have the gigabyte m27f. tingin ko same applies for other kvm monitors ni gigabyte. di siya high current but enough to not drain and charge very slow ang work laptop

  I'm using LG 27UP850, it can deliver up to 96W thru usb-c. Kayang kaya nya yung macbook air ko or even a macbook pro since 60w lng ata yun.

• darkstallion202 on 27 Apr 22 @ 10:09 AM #

  @john_topher
  I think ok lang kahit slow charging, basta magamit the whole day.
  1080p pala itong M27F, will look at 2k/4k offerings of Gigabyte, baka parehas lang sila ng charging speed like you said.
  
  @aldyu
  Thank you sir, will consider this as well, medyo mahal lang benta ng official store, pero baka mag sale din sila sa online platform.

• Lemonscate on 27 Apr 22 @ 02:33 PM #

  Guys, do you know any monitor na available na dito sa Pinas with 1440p 200hz+ that is around 25k-33k?
  
  I can only find the Samsung odyssey g7 pero I am hesitant due to the scanline issue.
  
  I am looking at the Gigabyte M27QX pero it seems it is not yet available dito.

  Guys, do you know any monitor na available na dito sa Pinas with 1440p 200hz+ that is around 25k-33k?

  
  
  Just curious, why do you need a 200+hz monitor? Since yung input lag difference ay sobrang minimal na unless your a professional competitive gamer?
  
  60hz - 16ms
  120hz - 8.3ms
  144hz - 6.9ms
  165hz - 6ms
  200hz - 5ms
  240hz - 4ms

• Lemonscate on 27 Apr 22 @ 10:13 PM #

  @Fakuryu
  
  I am coming from a 1080p 144hz. Initially plano ko mag 4k 144hz pero since mag settle muna ako sa 1440p naisip ko sa refresh rate ko nalang bawiin para sulit ang upgrade.
  
  Pero napaisip ako sa sinabi mo. 1-2ms lang pala ang improvement. Now ko lang na realize.
  
  So sweet spot is 1440p 165hz?

• vladz17 on 28 Apr 22 @ 08:52 AM #

  ^
  I think 1440p(2560x1440)na ang normal resolution ngayon. Maganda sa 1440p kung sweaty ka sa fast paced first person shooter i mean kung low setttings at wala or off anti aliasing maganda pa rin tingnan compare sa 1080p na naka off ang anti aliasing.
