It's come to my attention that the Samsung JG50 actually does not have FreeSync. While it's still a great price, if you want Adaptive Sync we'd recommend spending a bit more to get either the Viotek GN27D or MSI Optix MAG27CQ depending on what price you can get

All these monitors get 0/10 for their names.

Speaking of old monitors I'm still using a Dell 3007wfp 2560x1600. 10 years and going strong.

I've been on console for 6yrs...
Now im on PC master race... it feels amazing..

[nashadaniels]

Noticed that all the value monitors has Freesync

AOC C24G1 is very cheap and a really good alternative to Viotek GN24C for us europeans. Thumbs up to spread the word.

[KrK-EST]

BEST of all for under $100:
LG | 22MK430H-B | 21.5" | Panel IPS | FreeSync | 1920x1080 | 16:9 | 75Hz | 178/178 degrees
Bought it a month ago, cost only 93 bucks (still is).
Best all around(for everyday use and 60-75fps gaming) Monitor for budget users.

Dell S2417DG, 165 Hz with 1440p at 1 ms and Gsync for $360 USD. Great value imo

[TechTach]

Good job mentioning the samsung cgj5 27" series they have a 32 as well which is awesome and on sale for $349 regularly ! Great work as always !

4:35 not only that but it's also possible to just limit the hertz to 60 when you can't hit the high framerates, but have a monitor capable of higher when you upgrade later down the line.

I feel like I'm cheating on my monitor right in front of it by looking at other monitors...

[katarzynamilewicz]

You packed a lot in your video. Worth every second

[joesterling]

Does anyone still make *truly good* 1080p monitors? It seems like FHD has been relegated to the bargain category, and that takes a lot of choice away from those of us who think higher resolutions are a waste of performance potential on desktop screens.

Also, I hate curved monitors. If your 1080p pick is going to be curved, how about a flat runner-up?

[notalent]

Which 240hz monitor should I buy?
Alienware AW2518H
Asus ROG Swift PG258Q
AOC Agon AG251FZ (without g sync i guess)

[ScibyTravels]

I get that your biggest audience is from the US, but I wanted to watch this because you’re Australian, and I’m Australian, and so I’d hope that there’d be info for the Aus market... don’t forget the home audience...

[Brian.M]

Really enjoy the monitor videos Tim. Looking forward to whats coming next year.

[OhJoski]

can we be looking to get another one of these before black friday in 2019 ? :)
