Hi All,
I finally got my new rig
CPU: i5 6500
Motherboard: MSI B150M PRO-VDH
RAM: 8GB HyperX Fury (2400)
SSD: Sandisk SSD Plus 240GB
HDD: 2TB WD Green (from my old rig)
Graphics Card: MSI R9 390 Gaming 8GB
PSU: Seasonic S12II 520W (from my old rig)
Case: Corsair Carbide Spec 03
Monitor: Benq RL2455HM
Loving it at the moment running GTA V and Witcher 3 on 1080p max
Thanks for the advise that I got from this forum!
What a strange monitor, did you already have it? Is it the 75Hz or 144hz version?
Nope I bought it because it was on sale. I think it's 60Hz. We'll im having some issues with it when in windows the text and icons are not as sharp as I'd hope for. From what I've read so far is due to the DPI scaling of windows 10. I will try to swap out the HDMI cable with a DVI see if there is a difference.
It's not sharp because it's a 24" 1080p display, probably has around 80ppi, it's meant to be used a bit farther back
90ppi, not too bad I guess, a 22" is right around 100ppi
How much did you pay?
About $160
Well, I'd suggest an IPS display anyways then, the color is way better, and you can see it off angle perfectly, why'd you get that display anyways? It's fairly overpriced
1080p IPS $99

Yeah I've considered that monitor but I guess I was swayed by the gaming aesthetics and the build quality, most of the monitors under $100 is kinda flimsy. And to be fair it does a fantastic job when gaming less the color accuracy and angles of an IPS panel.
But it's not like a 144hz display where TN makes a lot of sense, the 4ms added response time really isn't going to matter, and I've dropped a $100 AOC display 6 feet onto concrete with no issues, I lost my picture of the panel falling out of the frame from it though
Yes disable dpi scaling in windows10, its completly broken.
