Dark/Night is mode tougher on my eyes?

Hello! I don't post here often but this sounds like the kind of thing you guys would understand and could explain. I generally don't have issues with eye strain or flickering, but when I use any sort of Dark Mode (which is usually a dark grey with white/soft white text), it seems like the entire scr...

Re: Buying 144hz monitor

I'm with you in 24" Inch being the perfect size monitor (although everyone's going to have different preferences which is more than fine of course). I was personally disappointed with the 24G2, but a lot of people seem to be happy with it, and you might be too, as it's a good gaming monitor. Not sur...

Re: 1440p 144 hz on 24" why not produced anymore ??

I've been wondering why 24/25 inch 1440p gaming monitors don't really exist. I suppose the market just isn't there, not nearly enough demand for them. I'd be interested if one was released, but only if it was an IPS panel as well (I know the S2417dg is a TN panel). I'd have to imagine a 123 PPI IPS ...

Re: Image retention AW2521HF

I've heard about image retention on this monitor a lot, which is scaring me off of buying it, but if the price drops low enough I might try my luck with the panel lottery. Are there different "revisions" with the AW2521HF like Dell has with some monitors? A04, A05, etc.? Also I'm curious what to loo...

Re: 05/22/2020 UPDATE. The IPS 240hz monitor tier list.(I've measured/tried the all) and my honest explanation why.

Hoping it's okay to ask for monitor/purchase advice here, if not I guess this post won't be approved ;) - which I will understand, there's just not many places to ask, and you guys certainly know your stuff about monitors. My current monitor is 8 years old (good ole' Dells last forever! :D). I'm not...

Re: Best monitor for someone who is *not* a competetive gamer?

I didn't know IPS monitors could actually have bad viewing angles, but it was similar to a TN monitor that regard Yeah, this was pointed out in the pcmonitors review: https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/aoc-24g2u-24g2/#Viewing_angles That picture they showed captures it perfectly also. I think I must h...

Best monitor for someone who is *not* a competetive gamer?

Hello! I realize this is the blur busters forum, and the focus is on high refresh rates and low response times for competitive gaming, but those issues are on the back burner for me (though still somewhat important) as I'm not a competitive gamer, and I'm just trying to buy the best all-around monit...
