Ciaran or Arjen, how is the 27" with 1920 x 1080? I am afraid the screen is to big for that resolution ( jaggies ) or is it ok? 

 

Howard how is your setup running fsx? ( fps )

If you are referring to jaggy meaning stuttering, then; I don't see any stuttering what-so-ever. The VG278HE offers 2ms response time, with a 144hz refresh rate (I think its the fastest on the market).

no I mean aliasing, sharp edges etc big pixels from closeby. That's why they went 2560 x 1440 on 27".

I got the ASUS VG278HE a few days ago.

 

Tech Specs:

 

27"

 

1920x1080

 

144HZ

 

2ms

 

3D  

 

Its a really neat monitor, worth the money in my opinion. I have also looked at various Samsung monitors, they just didn't have the specific specs I was looking for and / or were too pricey for what they had to offer.

 

You really notice the 144hz when moving the mouse around the desktop and playing games in intense action. Its a massive improvement coming from a 22" Samsung BW2232 1680x1050 @60hz. 

 

The ASUS VG278HE has many different picture settings by a touch of a button on the monitor. The various mods consist of: Standard, Scenery, SGRB, Game, Theatre.

 

I have not yet tried the 3D vision as you have to buy the glasses and receiver separately, that has to be the biggest let down for me with this monitor, as you would expect there to be some glasses included seeing as though its a 3D monitor. 

 

FSX is nothing but pure beautiful quality, great response time, obviously the monitor wont improve frames as its just a monitor and not your internal computer hardware. 

 

I would highly recommend this monitor to anyone (I am very picky when it comes to buying stuff like this) as it is just right / perfect for anyone who wants to take full advantage of the scenery or quality a game has to offer. 

 

Regards, Ciaran.

 

I really thought  about getting this monitor, but was nervous that the 144hz refresh rate would affect FSX performance as it relates to Word Not Allowed's tweaks and 1/2 refresh rate setttings in Nvidiainspector. Maybe my worries were unwarranted?

What is more important about resolution, is not so much the size of the monitor but the distance in which you view the monitor. A mistake I believe some guys make is by getting a bigger monitor, with the same resolution, viewing it at the same distance and expect the same quality. So yes, if you view the 27" monitor with a 1920x1200 resolution at the same distance as a smaller monitor then yes, you will be more aware of jaggies and pixels. That doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a worse picture, because it may be that the bigger monitor is a higher quality screen than the smaller one anyway. But a monitor running at 2650x1600 is such a fantastic upgrade. You can maintain the viewing distance, and by doing so you increase the effective size proportionally, but most importantly, benefit through having the extra resolution. I just wish a company would start producing the larger displays with resolutions of 2560x1600. I can't imagine what FSX would look like on a 37" screen with the higher resolution. As for my setup running FSX, it runs it fine, although it is quite a beast! Even though, I tend to go for quality rather than anything else, so I run my settings very conservatively with all the relevent cfg tweaks.

A good 27" monitor at 1920x1080 is absolutely clear, no jaggies whatsoever.

 

I just bought a Samsung S27B370 and it is a wonderful upgrade from my previous 22" 1680x1050 monitor.

 

Great for FSX!

 

Just make sure to turn down the Gamma setting to 80% in the video driver, or these new LED screens will

burn out your eyeballs, they are that bright!

thanks, that might be a option then 27"1920x1080 and ips. 5 or 6 ms will be ok I think.

Nooo, trust me in that you want fast response time <3ms for any gaming or you will get "Ghosting".

 

Here's my monitor (ASUS VE278Q): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236103 (Purchased  04 JAN 2013) $300 is cheap for a 27" this good.

 

It is stunning at 1920x1080 and not to big for that resolution. I would buy this exact monitor again and will probably end up getting two more soon.

 

I have a GTX 680 2GB card. Take look at my computer specs and you will see that at a moderate OC to 4.3Ghz I'm getting really good results. The most important thing to FSX-stability is a stable platform to run it on (stable PC) and the very necessary tweaks to the fsx.cfg.

 

Currently, I use REX Essential Plus OD and some quality add-on airports, My Traffic 2013, the NGX and GSX. Most FSX sliders are maxed except for autogen is set to "Very Dense" and water "High 2.x" and Airline AI traffic is @ 75%. With all the tweaks the best thing so far is the Nvidia Inspector Antialiasing set to 32xS (Combined: 2x2 SS + 8x MS) and SweetFX 1.4 post processing render mod.

 

Regarding the monitor, save money and get the above, you won't regret it.

Why does IPS matter? Is that not for off-angle viewing? Might not be relevant to FSX usage..

If you use a 144hz monitor you need do set different FPS lock in FSX and a different vsync in inspector. Either lock@36 combined with 1/4 refresh rate vsync or lock@48 and 1/3 refresh rate vsync.

I would highly recommend that if you are going for a native computer monitor running at 2560x1600 res with a 27" display, that you reconsider......I've been running with such a beast for the past 18 months.

27" is at 2560x1440 so will put a little less strain on resources than 30" at 2560x1600. With your 30" do you use DX9 or DX10 mode with FSX, if DX9 do you suffer much with OOM issues? Life with FSX seems always to be about compromise, bigger resolution more crashes, not so large resolution less crashes.

IPS is not only viewing angle, but also more colors.

Hi. Would all of this discussion also apply to FS9? I plan on running both FS9 and FSX on the large monitor.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Yep, would do the same

also if I only run fsx? I am only running flightsims. I do tend to use track-ir.....

Hey, the difference betweem 2560x1600 and 2560x1440 is minimal, it isn't worth worrying about. OOM issues have never been an issue I've had problems with, mainly because I am pretty sensible (me thinks) about how I run FSX. ie REX clouds 1024, all aircraft liveries at 1024 res, AI at 25% no traffic, no boats, never maximum autogen. FSX is a 32 bit program and to be honest was never intended to run the kind of addons that most of us are now running. If you are running FSX with max graphics, max AI, all the high res addons, with heavy weather scenarios and getting very close to running out of virtual memory, then something as small as a few extra pixels may push you over the edge. At the end of the day, it's about balancing a system and deciding what things are important.
