Need help choosing between two monitors

[Skip2Th3End]

Hi,

AOC G2460PF vs Iiyama G-MASTER Red Eagle GB2488HSU-B2

I don't know much about monitors and I am a bit stuck of which of these two are better. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Since their specs are about the same, i would defenitely go with a well reviewed and much better branded AOC G2460PF monitor.

For what use? IIyama make the best screens.

Mainly gaming, like exclusively really.

Someone said the B2 monitor has about 25ms of input lag. There is the GB2488HSU-B3

which costs more than the AOC but if you're just gaming the AOC works fine:

Looks like it has decent viewing angles

If you decide on the AOC:

NOTE When tuning your monitor's brightness and contrast, do it from the picture boost menu in the monitor's built in settings. make sure bright frame is turned on and the frame size is set to 100%. your picture will be really dim and grey otherwise.

Make sure to set your monitor's refresh rate to 144hz in the windows display adapter properties menu, by default 75hz. google "ufo test" to see the settings are applied.

If you need them there are color calibrations from http://www.pcmonitors.com

This needs no extra drivers for Windows 10 using DVI. For DisplayPort download drivers from AOC

Make sure that in windows the option to install unsigned drivers is possible, if you do not know how

Restart PC. Pull out the DisPlayPort Cable on the graphic card then put it back after 1 minute.
