  2. The Monitor Thread

    in Techzone

    Posted

    Need suggestions for a monitor mostly for office use as a secondary screen for the laptop. Occasional Netflix/Youtube vidoes would be played when bored. Dont need a large screen...i think 24" should suffice. Do share links if possible. Budget around 12 to 15K.

    Hi my friend,

     

    In the photo you see:

     

    Desktop: Edifier S1000DB

     

    Stands: Mission LX3 MKII

     

    Black Wooden Box Stands on the side-wings: Kenwood S-922 (3-way)


    On Top of the Kenwood S-922: Sony SS-H2750e (3-way)

     

    (My primary stereo setup is different however. That consists of Wharfedale Lintons along with an Audiolab 6000A).

     

    I do have Swans (Swans D1010 MKII) but they aren't being used currently.

    Is the Edifier S1000db good for near field listening?

    I have the Swans M200MKIII+ but im using them as bookshelves on stands for stereo sessions.

    Good stuff. You enjoy headphones more or home theater?

    I enjoy everything but for music - these days have been using my desktop speakers mostly while im working from home. Have music playing most of the time. The combo of iFi Zen Dac + Swans (HiVi) M50WMMKIII 2.1 sounds pretty sweet for near field listening. Not using the headphones a lot these days. I grab the WF1000XM4s when im walking around on the terrace or while travelling.

     

    For stereo only mode, i switch to the iFi Zen Dac + Swans(Hivi) M200MKIII+ combo.

     

    Movies & Gaming - Home theater ofcourse!

     

    I recently attended the headphone connect event in our city, like two weeks back, auditioned quite a lot of headphones, like the Hifiman Sundara but wondering how different is it from the HD650s?? Any thoughts/suggestions...

    Reviews for WF1000XM4 ? If anybody used them after XM3s, any substantial difference ? 

    How's the fit and comfort ? 

    I can get them for nearly 15k. Worth the price ?

    Coming from WF1000XM3s, initially i felt the XM4s sounded inferior. The newer buds come with only foam tips. They sound pretty bad with them is what i felt. Switched to the silicone tips that came with the XM3s and post that they sound much better. With IEMs and TWs, the ear tips are very crucial. Finding the right tip and material can drastically affect or improve the sound.  XM4s have better soundstage, tighter bass, better fit(not perfect) but definitely better than XM3s and improved mic performance. I also own the Sennheiser Momentum TWs (Gen 1) and wifey uses Air pods pro so have tried them and they are great as well. Was infact gonna order the Pros and Sony announced the XM4s. Bottom line, the XM4s are well worth the upgrade. Better sound quality than the Pros and the XM3s.

    Hi guys. I recently bought the Gigabyte M27Q monitor that supports upto 170Hz refresh rate @ 2560 x 1440.

     

    I tried connecting my relatively old desktop, with the video card MSI GTX 750Ti via HDMI, but refresh rate is stuck at 60Hz. I understand its a limitation via HDMI 1.4( Pls correct me if im wrong). The only other ports on the video card are dual DVI. I dont have a DVI port on the new monitor.

     

    Also have an HP laptop model Elitebook X360 1030 G3, with which im facing the same 60Hz limitation via HDMI. The laptop has two Thunderbolt 3/USB Type-C ports out of which one is used for charging the laptop and a USB 3.1 Type-A port.

     

    Pls suggest the best way (display cable and/or adapters) to get the best video and highest refresh rate on my new monitor. Do i have any way to experience higher refresh rate with the current setup?

     

    Also, noticing stuttering if i play UHD youtube videos higher than the native resolution of 2560X1440p. How do i fix that?

     

    Thanks.
