The LCD Monitors Thread: Tips, Tricks, Tweaks, New Products and Reviews

    Personally mas prefer ko yung Viewsonic XG2701 over the AOC G2770PF. Based on reviews maganda naman ang feedback sa Viewsonic XG2701 and XG2401. Yung AOC G2770PF nagiging disabled ang overdrive once you go past 60Hz based sa review ni Tom's Hardware. So medyo minus yun sa akin kasi kailangan din ng overdrive at high refresh rates para maiwasan ang ghosting / blurring. Pero in actual use tingin ko hindi naman nagkakalayo ang dalawa.

    Regarding Infini M7, suggestion ko sir backread ka nalang sa thread and ask mo yung nakabili kung ano yung feedback niya regarding the monitor. Wala kasing reviews online kaya mahirap din magsabi.

    Yung GTX 1060 mas sulit siya for gaming at 1080p, pero pwede din siya for 1440p kung babaan mo yung graphics settings sa game. Expect mo lang na yung framerates mo are much lower dahil sa higher resolution. Depende nalang siguro sa games na nilalaro mo sir.

    salamat sir @sleepygeepy sa info mas naliwanagan ako
  • any thoughts about latest release of ASUS vg278q ?? mas ok ba Viewsonic xg2701 dito ?
  • Hindi ba available locally ang LG 24UD58-B 24" 4K monitor?
  • Meron nag request sakin for the image of the Infini M7 box so here it is for future reference. Box is cheap looking to be honest but I guess they have to cut corners somewhere.










    Yan yung nakalagay sa box ng M7. Di nakalagay sa box kung anong panel type nito or its refresh rate pero duda ako na TN panel ito and confirmed ko na rin sa previous post ko na 144hz max refresh rate nito.
  • ^
    1ms posibleng TN yan. Kasi mga ips ngayon 4ms to 5ms na and va panel nasa 4ms to 5ms din.
  • @johnvinc

    Boss, pa review naman ng monitor mo. Halos wala ako makitang review nyan from the internet. Freesync ba yan? and kamusta image quality? some actual photos.

    Much appreciated sir.
  • Either TN or VA yan. Specs is more for a TN panel pero yung viewing angle pang VA. hehe +1 sa review, mukhang best value budget monitor yang infini m7
  • I'm not really good at giving a detailed review so bare with me.

    Included in the box are some screws, the monitor stand, a DP cable and the monitor itself. I can't remember if it came with the stand installation guide but there is no manual included in the package. Installing the stand was easy enough and it didn't took long.

    For Specs, it has a DVI-I port, 2 HDMI ports and a DIsplayPort 1.2. The menu buttons are also located at the back and they are not easy to use compared to LG's nipple menu button. As I've mentioned on my overview, this monitor has Freesync support so if you're using an AMD card, you may want to take advantage of the variable refresh rate. Its maximum resolution is 2560x1440p with a max refresh rate of 144hz.

    I've been gaming with this monitor for more than a month now and all I can say is the experience has been silky smooth. The high refresh rate made aiming noticeably easier and aiming for those headshots is lots of fun.

    The Infini M7 has a surprisingly good color reproduction, almost as good as my old LG 25UM58 which is an IPS panel. I'm pretty sure this monitor does not have a 100% sRGB coverage but I haven't tested that yet. I'm no monitor expert so I'm not sure if this is really a TN or VA Panel.

    The viewing angles on this monitor is good. I've checked every angle especially the bottom one and that drastic color shift seen on TN Panels is not present. I'll post a screenshot of the viewing angle seen at the bottom at a later date should I get hold of a camera.

    This is my personal opinion on the M7 and your experience with it may or may not be different from mine so take it with a grain of salt.

    Do I recommend buying it over other monitors like the XG2703 or any other well known brand? No. But it you're a bit tight on the budget, you may consider looking at this monitor if you want that 1440p resolution and the 144hz refresh rate.

  • ^salamat sa review sir!
  • @johnvinc

    Thanks sir. so freesync sya. Sulit narin yan ah kung reliable ang build quality and acceptable ang image quality.
  • @johnvinc

    Sir na try mo mag-downscale ng resolution? Or using a console to play on that monitor?
  • @johnvic
    What vid card are you using sir?

  • What's the cheapest or bang for the buck 1080p monitor w/ 100-144mhz refresh rate? For gaming. So TN panel is very much welcome.

  • ^Try mo yun Dell na binanggit nila sa taas.

    Guys, regarding yun BenQ medyo nalilito ako dito sa models na gw2470h at gw2406z. Anu ba main difference nila? Sa panel ba or sa picture quality? Empre given na yun diff sa pricing pero medyo negligible kasi. Patulong naman kung alin ang mas sulit. Salamat sa sasagot!

    @biskwet for 1080p 144hz monitor, i'd say XG2401. TN Panel but colors are not that washed out compared to other monitors on it's price range (Zowie XL2411Z, ASUS VG248QE).
    Also XG2401 has freesync.
    I have this monitor and I can say na ok sya nag install lang din ako ng ICC profile and did OSD calibration for best image quality. bought mine for 14500 @PizzaHut
  • San po pwedeng makaskor nyang Dell S2417DG?
  • @Esdeath

    Medyo soft ang image quality once you use the G-Sync module ng monitor, dahil yung scaler ng videocard ang naghandle ng conversion from 1080p to 1440p image. So kung naka Nvidia videocard connected via DisplayPort (and using G-Sync) not as sharp ang image quality. Pero if you are using HDMI input or using a Radeon videocard, gagamitin ng monitor ang built-in scaler niya so better ang image quality and not as soft looking.

    Personally pipilitin ko nalang ang 1440p sa games even if it means lowering the graphics settings. Then rely on G-Sync to smoothen out yung lower framerate. Incentive din to upgrade to GTX 1070 or higher model videocard hehe :-)

    @biskwet
    San po pwedeng makaskor nyang Dell S2417DG?

    Check mo sir yung FB page ni CpDeluxe Enterprise. I'm sure limited ang stock and first come first serve basis. So kung interested ka in buying, kailangan i-message mo ang seller kaagad.

  • @El33t

    DI ko pa na try yung downscaling, and wala akong console.

    @Nerfed311

    GTX 1080 Ti gamit ko

    Guys, regarding yun BenQ medyo nalilito ako dito sa models na gw2470h at gw2406z.


    BenQ GW2406Z is IPS panel, while GW2470H is VA panel -- I got the GW2406Z over 2 weeks ago and paired with 1050ti and doing well so far, mukhang happy naman kids on video editing and few games.
  • ^Thanks man, I did some backreading and nakita ko nga post mo. hehe. Isip isip pa rin ako between BenQ and LG.
  • ^ LG 23MP68VQ yung isang pinagpipilian mo?

    Ito rin pinagpilian ko actually...but medyo limited sources ng LG and read a post na medyo mapili HDMI cable, and yung BenQ may kasama nang HDMI cable, then mas mura ng konti plus a bit larger screen. OK naman so far, no dead pixel so far.
  • ^Exactly, ganun nga rin feedback. Then may unboxing nga ko pinanuod for BenQ and ok nga na may sarili siyang hdmi cable. Tsaka may malapit rin na service centers. Lamang lang LG sa quality raw and of course may Freesync kasi and AMD card kasi gamit ko.
  • BenQ ZOWIE RL2755 27inch okay kaya feedback dito?
  • Can someone explain to me the difference between 10k monitors than 30kphp in general? Hindi ko kasi maintindihan why people buying 30kish monitors versus 10k monitors. Paano sya naging worthy?
