Go to New and Used and there's one for $200, I picked it up a couple weeks ago. Great 2nd monitor and outside of when they had these at 2 for $350, gonna be hard finding much less.

I agree with iampixeL3D, that you should preferably find a second monitor from Dell to make sure that colors, etc. are the same across all of your monitors.

Beyond looking for another Dell, I would recommend the Acer V277U. It's 1440p, 75hz. I just bought three of them and have them set up with two in landscape and one in portrait. I got them for $210 each on sale, but their not too much more right now (links below).

Anyone know the difference between this one and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M9V8XNQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ? Is it just this one has 60hz refresh rate vs 75hz for the one I linked?

I want to run a dual monitor set up for editing on Lr and PS, i plan on purchasing an arm mount to stack them next to eachother. Any suggestions between these two monitors?

Doesn't specify freesync on site but other source say they are.

I'm having an issue with my monitors when Freesync is turned on. I have 3 monitors. My main one is a 144/155Hz Dell (Link) and the secondaries are Acer 75Hz (Link). I have tried the Dell at both 144 and 155. My GPU is a 5700 XT on 19.8.1 drivers.

My issue is when I am playing a game on the main screen (I've noticed it with Overwatch and Fortnite in Windowed Borderless) that my other 2 monitors FPS drops to almost nothing. If I have Discord or TS or something up, I can't see it light up when I talk or someone else does. If I have a video running on Youtube, it is running at less than 1 FPS. It's like the monitor doesn't want to update what's on the screen.

I turned off Freesync on the monitor and in the Radeon settings and it seemed fix the issue, so I'm pretty sure it's Freesync. When I google this issue, it seems like most people have the opposite problem where the performance hit is on their main monitor. Also, most answers seem to be play in Fullscreen mode (defeats the purpose of multi monitors, no?) or buy all Freesync monitors at the same refresh rate. Not really an option. Some people say it's actually a Windows issue. I'm not finding much good info, so I'm hoping someone here knows about this.

Does anyone know of any fix or anything to try? What am I losing by not using Freesync? I guess I don't fully understand that technology either.

Edit - Probably not relevant, but here's my full build that I finished a week or two ago. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mJt6cY

Also, I did not have this issue prior to my new build. I had a 144Hz main screen and 2 60Hz screens at that time, but was using an Nvidia card but not G-sync or freesync.

I recently bought this Acer V277U, 1440p, IPS monitor. Its pretty great, with good blacks and no IPS bleed.
The only downside that I felt is the stand is pretty basic and doesn't offer any adjustments

The other model that I was considering was this BenQ GW2765HT. I didn't like the gloss bezels. But it has got a height and rotation adjust stand

I'm pretty ignorant to what I should be looking for but wanting to replace my 2nd monitor. My monitor that I game on is a dell s2716dgr which is a TN panel 1440p monitor, would this screen go well with it? 2nd monitor is being used for browsing and watching shows.

I've also seen: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M9V8XNQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and https://www.newegg.com/acer-um-he5aa-001-27-wqhd/p/0JC-000P-007R4

Not really sure if any of the differences edge anything out.

https://www.amazon.ca/Acer-V277U-FreeSync-Monitor-Speakers/dp/B07M9V8XNQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_17?keywords=1440p+monitor&qid=1572736683&sr=8-17

• The first monitor you linked to is a TN panel, not IPS. Definitely don't go with that one.
  
• Second monitor is an odd brand, and comes with some bad reviews about edge glow and picture quality.
  
• Third monitor is only 1080p, which will be much less useful for editing, and will look pretty rough at 27".
  
   
  
  I would recommend the Acer V277U. $209, 100% sRGB color gamut, 75hz freesync.

None of them, if you want 1080p + IPS you can get something cheaper like this. Or you can even go up to 1440p for this. Could get a 24" 1080p monitor so the pixels aren't as noticeable too.

I want to run a dual monitor set up for editing on Lr and PS, i plan on purchasing an arm mount to stack them next to eachother. Any suggestions between these two monitors?

Here's the only review on Amazon which says " The monitor also has an Adaptive Sync option. I'm using an Nvidia RTX 2060 but do not have the ability for adaptive sync in the Nvidia control panel. However, it might be because a previous firmware version is needed in order to allow this. "

Otherwise the reviewer seemed pleased.

Thanks. Which one would you pick out of these 2?
