Best monitor for 2560 gaming - Page 4

post #31 of 40
1080p and 1200p are small chips.
Times change.

Get a 1440p panel.
Locking games at 60hz @ 60FPS still looks great.
But yes, a 120hz 1440p would be dandy.

What is the difference between gaming at 1600p and 1440p? I always wondered.

1600 is 16:10 and 1440 is 16:9
Some people just prefer one or the other.
post #35 of 40
Single input koreans would arguably be your best bet, but not everyone gets lucky with them and may receive one with dead/bright pixels and backlight bleed. I paid 20$ premium to get perfect pixel to get some insurance , yet my monitor has at least 1 bright pixel and a dead one. Not that you even notice that unless you start to look for them.

e: Oh, you got the Catleap already. Wish you luck

2560x1600 has 16:10 aspect ratio
2560x1440 has 16:9 aspect ratio
2560×1600 - 30 in (76 cm)
2560x1440 is a bit smaller.All movies,youtube and everything is now 16:9 so in my opinion 2560x1440 is better.

All the above, plus all 1600p monitors are wide gamut which only brings extra cost and most importantly all sRPG content will not be displayed correctly, making the colors and saturation look way off.

Definitely wish you luck on your catleap. I have a Qnix running 2560x1440p@120hz OCed. Tell you the truth i want my cake and to eat it too. I could not trade 1440p for 1080p at this point and going ALL the way back to 60hz kills me. Even sitting at 75hz seems to be a big differene over 60hz now that i have use 120hz. The big thing for me to is pixel density 27 at 1440p is one of the highest ppi that you can get for a monitor right now. they are soooo over due to up resolutions. Phones just drive me crazy 441ppi drool.gif i mean come on.

Bottom line is getting both is possible and at a good price IF the drawbacks of korean displays are acceptable.

haha wow thread revival. have been running my Catleap for a while now and honestly love it. I went the with 0 dead pixel one off ebay, still had 1 but its in the upper right corner and doesn't bother me. screen is awesome, my board is a 2C so doesn't really overclock, havnt tried either. screen has a sort of blue tint to it, but that was rectified with some colour tweaking.

all up for I think $440 I paid? well worth it for me. love it. brings in some serious immersion when you play games like X3 @ 2560x1440
