Some people are not bothered about 4K and all that crap. I use my computer for minimum 6 hours a day and my eyes have not yet fallen out, instead of talking a lot of crap how about you post more then 7 deals in 8 years you **** cheap skate.
and what makes a IPS screen better for gaming? you mean because it has slower refresh rate but better colours?
According to this review the freesync range is 55-75 Hz which isn't very good. If your frame rate dropped below 55 it would not be syncing the frames anymore, unless it managed to drop between 23-37 Hz and synced every 2 frames, but then you'd still have the 38-54 Hz range where it was not syncing which would suck. A good freeview range needs to have a maximum that's at least double the minimum.

I have the 24" version of this pretty decent monitor, not that I'm picky. You could pick it up from here for as low as £99 but has been discontinued. Still available at other places if you Google gf246 same specs if anyone wants the smaller screen for less

Yes, if the framerate dips below 60fps.
V-sync introduces significantly more input lag.

Thanks for the heads up, bought the Phillips.

I'm not saying this isn't a good price, but is FreeSync really worth it if the monitor can only output at 60hz? You may as well just use v-sync at this frequency

Thanks for the feedback guys - I do game, but only at 1920x1080 with a Radeon 7950. As this monitor will be replacing a non-gaming 24" screen of a dual screen set-up, I think I'll be okay to get the Philips.
Thanks again for the advice!

At a very quick glance, I think the only difference is that the other is not freesync, if gaming not important I would go with the one you linked

There is abetter deal guys 24" LG 24MP68VQ 1080p (full hd) IPS with 5ms and 9.6ms input lag which is very good for gaming and also it has thin bezels. I got it for £145 from Laptops direct now not sure if the offer its avalaible also amazon had it for £145 but theuly deliver it on August. I have this monitor it has freesync too and black stabilizer I suggest you look it up. Its my first monitor ever so I dont know how to compare it to a TN panel but from what I see TN arent good with viewing angles and colour accuracy however they are fast so unless you are a pro esports player I suggest an IPS.
Edit: I also suggest full hd only from 24" and below because then the pixels get stretch and you lose quality of image so unless you are a little fsr from the screen for a desk i suggest 24" but thats for a full hd monitor.

how would this compare to a dell u2414h - i have 2 of those, and the boy is always trying to take them - just wondered if this would be a good compromise for him instead of taking mine - your thoughts please

Low res for for size
A load of rubbish for anything but the bin

They are pretty much the same thing. The Phillips has better brightness (300 vs 250 while this one has freesync (AMDs open source technology to avoid tearing and stuttering in games).
The other differences are the tilt angle, etc...
It seems like the Acer has built in speakers too...
Hope that helped.

Anyone out there know how is this superior to the Deal of the Day, also a 27" but a bit cheaper? Philips 27" 277E6LDAD

Good price for this, heat added (highfive)
This has been out of production for a while so must be the last remaining stock.

Got this monitor for the same price in the last deal months ago, no complaints here running with my RX480.

Think he was more referring to the 16:10 aspect ratio, could be crucial for his workflow. Though I do agree gas mounts are awesome (y)

Get a vesa gas mount... so much better and don't have to compromise on the screen Link

Fancy a 1920x1200 myself, that can rotate 90 degrees to use for lightroom editing portraits.
Please post if you see any offers, like the Dell U2415. :smile:

Very constructive. Care to post an IPS 27" 1080p freesync for this price or similar?
OP: Decent price if this is what your budget allows, heated!

I was trying to find the freesync range...
The link says nothing about freesync
and the model isn't on the AMD list?
