I am interested in seeing more gaming monitors ❣️

[AdaDenali]

I have the non curved version of this, for those curious; that usb-c only puts out 15 watts

[sushantpradhan]

SIK.

Worth breaking quarantine to get Jarrod the emu lord's advice.

Jarrod, do you know about the 2020 acer nitro ? I want to buy an acer nitro but I'll wait for the 2020 version, it is said to be released on may but I haven't seen it anywhere, is it due to the virus ?

Why can't they do this for laptops? I don't mind 1440p

I think this monitor was kind of a betrayal of the customer by MSI. A quick cash-in with something seemingly "cutting edge" and new, at a "reasonable" (not cheap) price, apparently fast and fluid and with good image quality. Then it was slow as heck, like something ancient (and the image quality was hardly worth mentioning). Luckily I decided to send it back after playtests against my old (2013) and even another non-gaming (image editing) monitor. (I bet many "kids" were stuck with it, either because they had to or weren't sure how to judge it.) But then the next year or thereafter they finally brought out something "modern" that is not a straight-up betrayal, it seems. However they betrayed everyone in that year.

I'm having a lot of trouble deciding between TN, VA and IPS for my next monitor. I have a TN now and I would like to get better colors and viewing angles but I don't want to compromise on too much performance as I mostly use my monitor for fast paced gaming.

The MSI MAG272CQR and LG 27GL850 are at the top of my list right now but there is no real way for me to know how they perform until I buy one.

Thank you for looking at motion blur in this review, it was helpful.

I'm actually moments away from buying this monitor. I want to use it for my ps4. Not ps4 pro. I'm really hasitating about 4k or 2k and higher refreshrate as I don't want to spend €1000 for a 4k monitor with high refreshrate.
I already have the msi mag27 monitor 1080p. Will the upgrade be worth it?
I know this one has hdr and mine doesn't. And it's higher resolution of course.

Edit: I'm kinda upgrading because of the ps5. Hoping I can use the 165Hz for the new gen.

Great monitor. Especially as a consumer that prefers VA, over IPS. I can’t stand playing the monitor lottery in regards to backlight bleeding, and IPS monitors.

[CalSniffsMilo]

Why isn't there an Australian price bro? Aren't you Aussie?

[Adel-xygy]

[LightningAries]

Hey Jarrod, love the review. Any chance you can do a review of the Sceptre c305b-200un? It's a budget 2560 x 1080 200 Hz monitor I've been looking To but haven't seen many reviews for it online

[ashwinchauhan]

I have a question about your laptop reviews, when you perform gaming tests, for how long do you perform the test on one game because in longer gaming sessions the results can differ.

[mouadjbili]

Where can i get that wallpaper in the beginning ( 0:22 )? Great video as always

[konigdiamant]
