Support NeoGAF

I'm looking to upgrade my old monitor and I'm wondering if there's anything that fits my criteria. Would really appreciate the help

- 23~24" max
- 1080p
- No (noticeable) lag at all. Will be playing competitive games.
- Little to no ghosting

I don't care about any extra features like G/F-Sync, etc. or top notch picture quality.

This will probably be your best bet. I know a lot of GAFers own this particular monitor as well and can tell you about it. But it's definitely one of the best especially for competitive games.

Oh wow just read some reviews and this looks perfect. Thanks!

No problem. Definitely a great monitor can't go wrong with it. Just make sure you adjust the settings to make it look a lot better.

For that price you might as well care for g-sync and other features.

Does that have 120hz lightboost? If you're into competitive games that will help.

Hello.

I just bought an AOC Q27G4xf and it doesn't have specific driver on manufacturer website. However, on screen settings and device manager, the monitor appears as Q27G4, which is a slightly different model -450 nits and HDR400 againts XF's 300 nits and just HDR10-.

This Q27G4 model actually has specific drivers on AOC website and I can actually download and installing them on my monitor (there is other similar monitor with specific drivers which, however, I can't install them). Only Q27G4 drivers, ok? But when I install them on windows screen options the HDR certification changes to a HDR 400 certification -when my model only had 300 nits and HDR10-.

So, what do you think? Should I leave it? Should I go back to previuos drivers? Which are generic Window dirivers form 2006, btw, and no HDR certification is recognised by Windows. Any help will be appreciated!

At 300 nits you should just be sticking at SDR with a lcd, I wouldn't worry about it, just stick with the Windows drivers.

Yeah, I know. I just discovered that HDR10 with 300 nits It's mostly trash and with the majority of games (but It looks ok in some others). It's just bothers me.

Thank you.
