@Different Should I buy this monitor?

https://www.amazon.com/Sceptre-2560x1440...=1-14&th=1

It displays in 2k, 144hz at a pretty reasonable price

**Mia** · 23rd May 2022, 4:20 PM

There's 4k monitors by that same brand and a similar price, but a garbage refresh rate

**Mia** · 23rd May 2022, 4:21 PM

Whereas this one would be a full upgrade. I'd be going from FHD to QHD and 75hz to 144hz

**Mia** · 23rd May 2022, 4:49 PM

Cheapest 4k 144hz monitor I could find is $580, and I'm not even sure if my GPU is capable of displaying its potential

Have you had a 4k monitor? I tried out a 4k monitor at work and I don't really like them at all. I'd rather just have two 1080p monitors, but it is also your life and maybe you like 4k more.

By the way, I'm already in my hotel room watching anime. I'm skipping the keynote speaker, it's about how to work with echos. I've never really enjoyed keynote speakers.

I also don't think professional conferences are for me. It's like I'm being surrounded by work 24/7.

Never used one before, but I hear even a 2k monitor is a lot more crisp looking than standard 1080p.

I don't really feel like buying a whole new rig yet, I've only had this one for like 3 years

**Mia** · 23rd May 2022, 5:11 PM

Last time I did public speaking, I had a panic attack. That was back in middle school. And I was docked points for "bad body language". To be fair, I didn't know that's what a panic attack was back then.

**Mia** · 23rd May 2022, 5:12 PM

And yeah, feeling like you're surrounded by work does not sound enjoyable in the slightest. Best of luck.

It depends on what your GPU can handle and what you can afford. A QHD monitor is great for playing and streaming games, which will offer quick responsive times. However, if you can afford a better monitor, go for it. But then, you'd have to upgrade your GPU.

QHD is decent, so yeah... go for it. Get the 32-inch monitor instead.

What's your dream job? I plan on being a sound designer for games.

Yeah, I was wondering if I'd need a better GPU after doing research, and it looks like I would. I think I could run a 2k, but it would be pushing the limits of my GPU. I don't think a better GPU would fit in my case, unfortunately. I appreciate your input though. I'll probably stick to FHD for now.

I'm fine with public speaking, but I don't like being surrounded by work 24/7. I like a balance. I took an hour nap, now I'm watching anime. Onto my second episode. It's in Denver, CO so I think tomorrow I'll take another break and go exploring around some stores downtown.

Ooh, interesting. I'm not really sure, to be honest. I might try to get a promotion where I'm working now.

**Mia** · 23rd May 2022, 5:27 PM

I'm gonna be dead at work tonight. I botched my sleep schedule completely.

**Mia**

Don't you love friends that say "Let's hang out on Thursday!" So you change your sleep schedule to accommodate a hang out session, then they don't tell you they're busy and don't follow through? Cause I don't love it one bit.

**Mia** · 23rd May 2022, 5:31 PM

If he would've told me "Hey, I won't be able to hang out Thursday now, something came up." then it would've been fine. But here I am, awake for 14 hours with a 10 hour shift in 2 hours.

**Mia** · 23rd May 2022, 5:32 PM

But anyway, I should try to get a power nap in before work at least.
