Creative Recon3D omega quite tempting at $269 if you are using it as wireless imho



Sold out and never restock from what I last know

The closing down sale is selling at $169. But i'm not a very wireless guy. HAHA.

can stand the old TN CCFL panels. but not the new LED TN ones which are just horrible in terms of colour temp and balance.

TN panel flaws are still hard to ignore when I've been using IPS panels for 5 years. For me I dun even mind paying 1k for a monitor, but it HAS to match all my requirements. 27", 1440i, IPS/PLS equivalent, 120hz (or more than 60hz).

Now is compromise 60hz vs color, I might as well just gamble my chances with a cheaper 3xx panel and use that until got 120hz IPS monitors come out. I don't really wanna sacrifice color for refresh rate, but it seems like there is no choice on this matter other than these overclockable Korean IPS monitors.

My next monitor confirm will be 27inch, I go for color instead of 120hz.

If you're not a gamer then that's fine. I had a 120hz monitor to borrow for the past week and godamn, I like it. FPS games feel so smooth.

 

[Ferolare]

i'll stick with 1080 but with a higher refresh rate

next jump after ^ = 4k res

4k content going to be quite far away if current monitors still do not have a way to go beyond 120hz. Current displays with 4k are doing it @ 30hz because of limitations to refresh pixel speeds. Currently there is no innovation announced yet that is advancing 4k displays to go beyond 30hz yet.

ah fak that irritating person is back

 

[kaixax555]

yea true....seems like a limitation of the HDMI cable version

i shared this video about a 4K TV unboxing, apparently the TV has 120 refresh rate
but due to hdmi only can do up to 30hz and screen tearing was so obvious

It's okay, HDMI was a shiatty format anyway by a dead organization. DisplayPort will save our souls, stop the 4th impact and cure cancer. It's not a limitation just from the cable alone, but the technology behind HDMI.
