[SOLVED] 1080p monitor with standby mode

[Lanereed01]

Hi, I was just wondering if I could get help finding a 1080p monitor with a standby mode. It needs to have good color accuracy and the refresh rate doesn't matter so long as it has gsync compatibility. I hope you can help. My budget for it is under 200 usd.

What do you mean "Standby mode"? If you mean it "turns off" without you having to press the power button, practically all monitors today do that. And "good color accuracy" is kind of a vague requirement. Practically all monitors aren't so bad that green looks like teal or something.

Otherwise take your pick of the litter: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#A=2,5&X=0,20000

I didn't know all monitors have that, and by good color accuracy, I mean the backlight doesn't overpower and cause the image to be more white on the colors like the old dell inspirion laptops.

Well, you'll be happy to know we're past that point that even monitors at the $200 price point do the job just fine.

I'm just wondering, which one would you recommend for a monitor, my expertise is in hardware not periferals. Also don't get the wrong idea, I'm not an old man, just grew up with older tech like vista, ps2, atari, etc. I'm actually going to school for IT. My current setup has 2 1344x766 monitors, but only one uses the standby mode and unfortunately is my secondary due to the backlight bleeding through as I mentioned earlier.

I ended on an asus monitor,
I has a high refresh rate and I now realize how much I've been missing out on. The color accuracy is good, it has standby mode, and it's gsync compatible. It's a great monitor so far and matches my setup nicely. (I also found it on sale for 87 usd)
