sorted byYou could be in for a bit of a wait if you're expecting a 4k 32" to be anywhere near this sort of price.
That doesn't make sense, if you think the sweet spot for 24" is 1080p then this should be fine as it has a higher PPI than that.
1920 x 1080 at 24" - 91.79 PPI
2560 x 1440 at 31.5" - 93.24 PPI
I'm not overclocking. My casual use does not need it. For serious gaming, my preference would have been to opt for a native 144Hz. Maybe someone else knows or can try.
The 1650 will support Freesync on this monitor too although the range is something like 48-75 which isn't the best.
There is a VESA adaptor if you need one - amazon.co.uk/Ada…SF3
Kills the deal value!
Luckyyyyy
Have dabbled with overclocking a little further, like to 90Hz?
"Got my son a hamming computer for Xmas", what's your son going to do, play on it or eat it?
This monitor would be a good choice, a 75hz monitor is not essential over 60hz but if you can get a higher one for a comparable price (like this one), then go for it.
Waffles Tea Forever ....for the win ...
Agreed, those £180 isn't bad for what it is. It also leaves an unsightly stub at the bottom.
Personally, I think the sweet spots are 1080p 24", 1440p 27", 4k 32" (saying that as a previous 27" 1440p owner and current 32" 1440p owner) but can't argue at this price-point!
Obviously depends on your viewing distance, I've been a 1440p @32" owner for several years and when I tried 4k @32" it did my head in.
Was just about to take the plunge on this when it went oos a few weeks back. Been waiting for it to come back down again.
The PS4 cannot output at 1440p or 75Hz.
The Xbox One X can output at 1440p I believe, although only at 60Hz.
For those who dont know what spam is, or who have never tried a spam fritter , google.
Do the older NV 1070 work with freesync now ??
True. I am upgrading from a 24" 1080p and have decided to spend more on something i'll be gazing at for the next couple of years.
Haha, I was going to put 22", but the most common type of monitor is a 24" FHD.
I just know that going from 91.79 to 108.79 PPI was a noticable improvement, so (for my viewing distance) 100+ PPI is preferred. The 144 PPI that 4k 32" would give would be sweeeet (and probably do away the need for me to add AA in games).
No it can't output more than 60, though if you have a pro this would be decent
Yeah my next monitor is going to be 32" 4k as I want something with more PPI - Probably gonna wait to see what we get in 2020 before deciding, hopefully the HDR improves.
I always hear people complaining about Windows scaling though which kinda puts me off. (edited)
I'm sitting close to mine, less than 60cm. In spite of that I don't notice any pixelation. Previously, I wanted a 4K, having used this I am happy with it and for me it is just right.
Yes, it has VGA, DVI, HDMI, Displayport.
Look at the listing
As for 4K monitors, I did have a Samsung 28" 4K and it was pointless - I had to 2x scale everything to be able to read anything on the desktop! I suspect a 32" 4K monitor might also need (perhaps lesser?) scaling - my next 4K will probably be >32" once the long wait for the crazy pricing to drop comes to an end. (edited)
A match made in heaven.
Some guys just have all the luck in the world. I wish my partner was a gamer too + gamer kids, that will be cherry ontop.
I wish I was you bro
It’s not the blackest of screens but I was after more desktop area, rather than using 2 1080p monitors.
It’s a 32” monitor! It isn’t designed as a gaming monitor. Like many of the PC Master race, it isn’t all about games. I can comfortably have 4 windows snapped into the corners and all be useable. I’ve currently got a 24” 1080P and a 24” 4k monitor.
I found 4k to small at that screen size and this price was far better an option for my needs than a 4k 32”.
