Re: Gaming Monitor discussion

Go into Menu > Picture > Picture Adjust > HDMI ULTRA HD Deep Color should be set to On.

That will get you what you need in terms of 4K. Outside of that, you can create your own profile or use one of their gaming profiles. I'm currently using FPS Game 1. You can change it by clicking on the button, and pushing up once. You'll then see the game mode profile displayed on the upper right corner of the screen. It'll also show you some details about it. If you want to try a different one, while the profile is still active on the top right corner, hit up again and it'll change. Keep hitting up until you find one you like.

Thanks, I put the ULTRA HD Deep Color on. What do you do with the motion settings? I cannot remember what they are called as I am not home right now, but I believe the choices are high, medium, low, and off. It looks like there is "artifacting" or some "ghosting" with it set to high. I put it on medium and it seemed better. And I am assuming you cannot use the Free Sync feature with HDMI? I read it is for the display port only.

I haven't had any ghosting at all on any setting I've used. I've stayed in the middle to high setting though.

Yeah, you need DisplayPort and a video card that's compatible. Most console games force v-sync anyway, so even if you had DisplayPort and a compatible card in the Pro, you wouldn't gain anything.

Re: Gaming Monitor discussion

I will say this, don't get caught up in the brand. Go by the specs. I owned AOC, BenQ, Asus, Acer, Samsung, Dell. Go by the specs. I prefer AOC because they usually are half the price but yet got the same specs as the household name brands. I remember a time Acer monitors use to be as cheap as AOC, but then Acer got big named esports and tech youtube stars to promote their monitors and Acer price tripled in a span of 2 years. Same thing is starting to happen to BenQ now. BenQ prices are on average $30 to $80 higher in price this year compared to last year.

Also have to consider what graphics card you have. If you have AMD, FreeSync monitors are 1/3 the price of Gsync monitors. Sure you can use a FreeSync monitor with a Nvidia graphics card, you just won't get the full benefit of the monitor.

I also prefer IPS over TN. But hey I gamed on TN for years before I switched to IPS and enjoyed myself, since most monitors are TN.

Re: Gaming Monitor discussion

If you are on the regular Xbox one or PS4 then I would suggest the Asus mx279h from BB or Amazon. 5ms response time, and scored the lowest input lag on TN or IPS monitors a year or so ago. This monitor was considered a sleeper monitor. Great colors, great total input lag(benq 10ms total; this Asus 12ms total) on an IPS screen! If you go to BB it will be paired up with a computer and will not be with the other monitors. Excellent purchase!! 259.00

EDIT: Forgot to add that it's only 1080 tho, I think most people right now looking at 4K models.

I had that monitor and returned it as it is just 250nits which is way to low

4K is overkill for the regular Xbox one or PS4. Anything oblver 60hz is overkill also for the regular Xbox one or PS4 also.

I have a PS Pro, I'll use my BenQ for my PS Slim.

I have this and love it with the pro. with a little tweaking you can get a REALLY nice picture. I still see a little motion blur in some games, but overall really satisfied and I paid $399. I wouldn't hesitate at the deal.

stay away from that monitor if you are using it for the PRO or XB1 S

This is a great price for a 4K monitor but you cannot output 4K from the consoles as they do HDMI 2.2 from their HDMI and that monitor via HDMI only allows 1.4

So both the S and PRO will default to 1080p output

Is perfect for reg xb and ps4

It says HDMI 2.0 output in the specs, I am clueless when it comes to these things. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Yea I seen mixed reviews on it as I was looking at it myself. The most reviews I've seen say that it only has hdmi 2.0 from hdmi slot 2, therefore that would be capable of putting out 4K @ 60. I don't understand how these monitors don't have more clear layout of their features. I guess it's about confusing the consumer and tricking them with the description

I apologize that is the newer model of their 4K line, the one I had was the D model which did not allow HDMI 2.0 only 1.4 but this one does in HDMI port 2

If plugging to HDMI 1 it does only 30hz which means it wont work for xb1 s or pro but connecting to HDMI to does....Just be careful because some people claim that it flickers in HDMI 2
