Glossy IPS HDMI monitor

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Oct 5, 2015

Im looking for a monitor that is 24-27" that has a glossy screen finish, that is also IPS, HDMI inputs, and preferably with a VESA mount with G-Sync. Monitors really arent my forte so Im looking to you guys for help. Monitors will be used for gaming and im looking at getting 2-3 of them.

Any suggestions you guys have is appreciated.

Quick suggestion for glossy is Iiyama perhaps. I can't look into it in more detail now.

They dont appear to have IPS panels. :-\

HP seems to be the most prolific maker of quality glossy monitors, but I'm not sure what current ones they have. The last one I bought, last year was the 25xi.

Why do you want HDMI? That could limit your options. Note that DVI and DisplayPort will provide the same digital display quality. The main reason to use HDMI is for audio - but frankly, speakers built into monitors are lousy.

Creative wont get off their asses for Windows 10 drivers and my onboard audio pops and crackles. Might as well use sound from my video card. Unless there is another viable option.

Bill_Bright · Oct 5, 2015

That depends on what is actually causing the pops and crackles. That is often due to DPC Latency issues and not related to the sound drivers. Have you tried your video card?

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Oct 5, 2015

I cant try my video card right now because I dont have HDMI displays.

Edit: I just looked at creatives website and noticed they released updated Win10 drivers back on 9/23. The ones released in august, id randomly lose my sound after the second or third reboot and sometimes while just sitting in Windows. When I get home today I will give these a try and if all seems to work well, I wont have to look for an HDMI monitor.

Try your HDTV if you have one.

I never actually thought of that. :laugh:

Display Port can also carry audio

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Oct 7, 2015

So the updated driver from Creative is still making me lose audio whenever it decides it wants to and basically doing anything in a game makes the audio have a "chirpping" noise as well as random LOUD cut ins and outs

I have Creative on W10 as well. Granted my card is different than yours, but I do have issues with audio from time to time. It's an intermittent issue, but I'll randomly lose all audio until I reboot (or restart sound services). I noticed, however, it happens most if I set my audio to run at 16-bit 44.1KHz (Advanced tab of Speakers Properties). I've since set it to 24-bit 96KHz and no issues yet.

what is a glossy monitor? I have HP Pavillion 22bw monitor that is IPS.

rooivalk · Oct 7, 2015

I don't think there's any that match your criteria perfectly.

I think this is your best bet:

+AHVA (IPS competitor from AU Optronics, behave like IPS)
+VESA mount
+27"
+G-Sync

-Light anti glare coating, still not glossy
-Display Port, not HDMI

Personally I'd take this monitor and buy cheap soundcard like my Xonar DG/X.
