any reviews on the MSI Optix MAG272CRX?

Interesting monitor as it is 240hz, 1 ms response, and HDR.

I don't see much of any reviews on this monitor.

Re: Nvidia Introduces 65-inch "Big Format Gaming Displays"

I'm also surprised they went with 65". I have a LG 42.5" 4K monitor and that works really well with 4K. But you would really want to keep it away from you and not so close.

65" is really big, this is more for if you are sitting on the couch. I believe this 65" is not for sitting on a desk.

Re: G-Sync causes monitor to turn on and off,

So what I did was I decided to was use DDU a driver uninstaller and try an older driver 385.69 for my 1080ti and now it seems to work. I then put the new driver back on, or the one I was using with the problem and it works right now. While I can't tell if GSYNC is on or not to be honest as I really ...

If this was the case wouldn't it have done this from the beginning?

I tried changing refresh to 60hz and this did not fix anything.

G-Sync causes monitor to turn on and off,

I have the Acer Predator Acer Predator XB272. It worked fine for a month then all of a sudden when I went to play any games the monitor will turn off for a few seconds, back on again for a second, then back off for 3 seconds and keep repeating this cycle until I exit the game. I can't seem to fix th...

Re: Best 240 hz Monitor for csgo?

I got the Acer Predator 27" 240hz, The reason is that 27" is perfect for 1080p. I would find 24" monitors way too small.

Acer is the only company who has a 27" 240hz monitor.

Re: Any reason not to buy the 27" Acer XB272 240hz?

Just wanted to say that this monitor is awesome. However, I did decide to buy a 1080Ti so I can't say how much of the improvement is the monitor vs the GPU. I think 27" is really good with the 1080p and not sure why anyone would consider going smaller. Using the monitor in 2D mode looks very good al...

Any issues using 240hz in desktop all the time?

I have a 240Hz monitor and was going to leave the monitor at 240hz in desktop. I was wondering if maybe it isn't worth it like it will just strain the video card or monitor.

Or does not not really matter, if you have a 240hz monitor then use 240hz in desktop.

I'm using a 1080ti

Thanks

Re: Any reason not to buy the 27" Acer XB272 240hz?

Thanks guys, very helpful information. Just got a schedule date when the monitor will be back in stock for next week. One other quick question I was hoping you could answer. My original intent was to buy a 1080Ti, but I'm a little hesitant to pay $800 and there were no deals during this holiday week...

Any reason not to buy the 27" Acer XB272 240hz?

I really want a 27" 240hz monitor and I believe this Acer XB272 is the only one out there right now. I want the ultimate overwatch gaming monitor and I believe this may be the one. 24" monitors are too small for me and I prefer 27". Is there any reason I should not purchase this, like perhaps the 24...
