There is a lot better choices out there for the money. This monitor is limited to 60 HZ so you can't really take advantage of the resolution of 1440p. Look on Newegg for 144 HZ monitors and you will find plenty of Freesync units for the same or lower price
StevebitCurious, what do you mean that you cant take advantage of the 1440p resolution of this monitor because its running at 60Hz? Massdrop has at least 50 of these monitors here at HQ and are used daily by almost everyone who works here and they are all running at full 3440x1440 resolution without any problems. Also, as @gautamtm has pointed out this monitor is capable of running at 75Hz and there are many threads out there that can be found to support this.
You also mention that you can find alot of 144Hz monitors that compare to this for the same or a lower price. Are you talking about 24" or 27" monitors because as of now a 34" 1440p 144Hz monitor is not available but should be in the near future at a much, much higher price than this drop.
Tex-ArozziNo What I meant is that you would be better off buying a 1080 monitor at 144hz then spending money on a this monitor because you would get better FPS with a 24" or 27" monitor at the same or a little bit more money unless you turn down the settings on the game your playing or turn on Freesync to use this monitor but I'm a green man can't beat g-sync in MHO. Sorry for the confusion.
StevebitJust not everyone in the Massdrop Community is looking for gaming monitor. While we do have a large gaming audience on Massdrop, (and I love you guys bye the way) we also have alot of customers who are looking for monitors exactly like this one and suits their needs perfectly.
Tex-ArozziExactly, superb monitor for a developer. I will probably have one of these (and never bother with anything but 60Hz) eventually to replace a 60Hz 2560x1440.
Tex-ArozziExactly. And not everyone buys into the hype that playing a game at framerates X factors above human eye perception somehow make you an uber gamer. I'm sorry but if you're playing *any* video game and getting tearing/artifacting/stuttering, etc. than you either (a) are running on a system way beyond it's capabilities and/or (b) playing a poorly coded game. All of this "Running UberDeathMatch at 195 FPS at 144Hz and Pwning!" is nothing more than simple ePeen. It's like painting racing stripes on your hotrod an swearing they make the car faster.
RochambeauxI really don't care what you think. I know what I'm talking about been doing this for 20 years. You obviously must be a console player. I really get tried of people judging other people on here and other social media it gets really old! I don't care if I get banned! Most of the deals on here are no better then what you can buy them on Amazon.
RochambeauxI'm not going to continue to debate with you on who is right or wrong. You got under my skin and I usually just ignore people like you. But I will be the bigger person here and apologize for my comments. So you have a lovely life. I just won't be a part of it.
DesesHe started it all I was doing was give my opinion which I have a right to do. I really don't care wtf you think. I never said a word about PCMR so why are you coming down on me. I apologized to the guy what else do you want me to do? Have him bend over and I will kiss his ass too! You people really get under my skin. BTW what did I say to give PCMR bad press? Please explain yourself! Now I'm really pissed off. I take offense to your comment I think you people troll the forums just to comment to piss off other members. Well you have done a great job of it. I swore I wasn't going to let you trolls get to me but it seems I just can't take criticism. I'm done with you and the rest of these azzholes. I know what my knowledge and PC building/modding capabilities are I've been doing this back when there was only bulletin boards that I ran for 2 years. I build from scratch a hard drive interface and controller which was only 40 MB not GB and we stored files on cassette tapes so I started back at the beginning of the Internet and contributed to advancement of PC evolution can you say the same? You all being so disrespectful!! I deserve more respect then you are allowing me. I will get off my soapbox now. I guess you support Trump too. What a jackass this country will regret putting him in the Whitehouse.
StevebitIt's gonna be okay. Just breathe, and maybe get yourself outside more, you need more human interaction.
You both were throwing generalizations and assumptions about each other based on an error in communication.
Having a different opinion should not mean you now have to castrate each other over the internet.
And finally, thanks for the entertaining debate.
