First thing you need to know is about ports. Kailangan mo siguraduhin na yung available display ports sa computer mo, ganun din yung port nung monitor na binibilin mo. For example, kung yung PC mo, may VGA lang, you need to make sure that the monitor also has a VGA port. Some monitors nowadays, especially yung mga high-end, wala ng VGA, HDMI gamit niya, display port, or even DVI. And if you have, let's say, yung computer mo, VGA, yung monitor na nabilin mo, HDMI lang, yes, there are converters, but they're difficult to find, pamitsan di sila gumagana, sobrang nakakainis na maghanap pa ng converter. So, iwas sakit sa ulo, just make sure that the ports you have on your computer are the same ports that you have on your monitor. It sounds super basic, but a lot of headaches, kahit dito sa shop, daming frustrations na, ay, HDMI lang pala itong monitor, pero yung graphics card, display port lang, or things like that. Same port on the PC, should also be available on the monitor. I guess na nais sila, kasi andaming ibang sinasaksaksa motherboard, yung LAN cable, yung speakers, yung input, yung mga peripherals, like keyboard and mouse. So, when you get to the monitor, medyo autopilot na lang na, oh, sige, ito din, saksak natin sa motherboard. But if you have a graphics card, that will not work. Kung may GPU yung computer mo, saksak sa GPU slot. The only time that you plug in your monitor into your motherboard is when you do not have a graphics card. So, it's super easy. Kapag may graphics card, pasok mo doon sa graphics card. Kung walang graphics card, saksak mo sa monitor. Number two, ano ba ito mga ports na ito? And there are different kinds of ports. You have the old VGA, you have DVI, HDMI, display port, and kagayong nabangit ko dati, you need to make sure that the port on your PC is the same port as on your monitor. Usually yung mga high-end monitors, HDMI and display port nalang yun, because these are the ports that allow you to have higher resolutions and higher hurts. But aside from making sure that you have the correct type, so VGA to VGA, HDMI to HDMI, yung medyo nakakalito is yung HDMI and saka yung display port, iba-iba din versions noon, pero they all fit together. Yung display port 1.3, is physically the same as display port 1, so masasaksak ngayon. Pero mga iba performance noon, so you need to check for HDMI saka for display port what the version is on your monitor and what the version is on your graphics card. Kasi anlayo talaga nung performance, benefits dun sa later versions ni HDMI saka ni display port. For example, excited ka bumali ng monitor, nakadisplay port 1.3 siya and based on your research, kaya niya na 4K at 120 Hz. Pero pag uwing mo sa bahay, cinaikweng graphics card mo, tapos medyo lumana pala siya, display port 1 lang siya. Ano yung max ni display port 1 for 4K? 30 Hz lang. So yung monitor mo, display port 1.3, kaya niya 4K at 120 Hz. Yung graphics card mo, display port 1, kaya niya 4K at 30 Hz. Si na dun yung masusundan? It always follows the slowest. So you're only going to get yung speed nung graphics card, yung speed nung display port 1, which is 4K at 30 Hz. That's why yung niya, mahalaga na, chek mo rin yung version, anong version nung HDMI na nakakuha mo, anong version nung display port. And dapat magtugma yun dun sa graphics card mo. It's okay like, if display port 1.3 si graphics card and then display port 1.4 si monitor. Yung niya, yung 1.3 yung habol mo. So at least maka 4K at 120 Hz ka pa rin. But just because things plug in together, doesn't mean that you're getting the fastest speeds that are advertised. Kasi siya yung mga manufacturers, gusto nila, advertize lang na lang yung pinakamabilis. Kasi usually, yung sinasabi ng mga manufacturers, yung highest rated speed lang or kung baga the highest speed possible of the latest version. So kung marinig mo yung display port and or marinig mo na, display port 1.3, kainapala 4K at 120 Hz. Pero, din nila sinasabi na kung display port 1, yung graphics card hanggang 30 Hz lang yun. So again, check the version. And that brings us to number 3 or ito mga terms na ito. Ano ba tong Hz? Ano ba tang response time? Yung Hz, higher number better. So 100 Hz is better than 60 Hz. Hz is just the measurement of how many times your monitor can refresh in one second. So kung 60 Hz, it's refreshing the image 60 times a second. 100 Hz, 100 times a second. And so you want the higher number because the more Hz, the more frames per second you're seeing, the smoother the gameplay is, the faster you're able to act to something that you see on screen. So gamers generally look for high-hertz monitors. Yung response time na man. And again, you see this a lot. One millisecond response time. It's a measurement of how long it takes for a certain pixel to change color. Dito naman, lower number better. Because the lower the number or kung baga the faster the response time, you will get less issues with ghosting, with kind of blur when you move something very fast on screen. Na babawasan yung ghosting effect kung mabilis yung response time yung monitor mo. Different manufacturers measure response time differently. Sometimes it's like from gray to gray or how fast it is to go from the entire color spectrum back to the original color. Sometimes it's just black to white. But they all measure the speed how quick a pixel is to change color. Pero may downside din yung fast response time. Usually hindi ganun ka ganda yung colors for fast response time monitors. They're less vibrant. They're dull. They don't seem yung niya. Parang hindi silang nagpapapmasyado. Tapos usually less bright yung screen. So actually kung di ka gamer and these response times are measured in milliseconds. And it really doesn't matter kung video kung ditsay maili ka manod yung video sa monitor mo and other applications like that. Response time does not matter. It's only for gamers that need to look into na. O gusto ko yung pinakamabilis na one millisecond response time. But yung niya it comes to the drawback which brings us to the type of panel or number four na kailangang mong tutukan when you're buying a monitor. A monitor these days is usually made out of either of three types of panels. So there's the TN. And the TN is actually yung pinaka usually pinakamura na screen. TN monitors are usually the fastest when it comes to response time. So a lot of gaming monitors use them. But nandun nga yung drawbacks nung fast response time. Medyo dull yung colors. Hindi ka nung kabright yung screen. The colors they don't pop. They're not as vibrant. The second type of panel is IPS. Yung baga na sa IPS sobrang ganan nung color production ito. These are what professionals usually buy. If you're a photographer you need blue color correction, a videographer, artist, renderer. Any application where you need to have very nice colors, very good color reproduction. Usually you want to go with an IPS screen. Since makadeng kulain nila hindi ganun kaganda yung response time nila. They have higher response times and yung nga nabanggit natin for response times you want the lower number. Better yung lower number. But because they don't need to react as fast IPS panels do have that very nice color gamut that a lot of people need. A lot of people, not necessarily gamers but a lot of professionals need. And the last type of panel is the VA panel. Yung VA, it tries to be a mix of both TN and IPS. Parang it's trying to get the faster response times of the TN with the nicer color range and brightness of the IPS. So kumbaga it's trying to be the best of both worlds. And a lot of the more high end gaming monitors now, yung mga curve, yung mga malake, like 34 inch, are usually TN now. And in fairness at TN kaya nyan nang mabilis. Usually mga 166 hertz, 144 hertz. And so these are very fast refresh rates. Yung problema lang sa VA since it tries to be the best of both worlds. Sometimes, depended sa manufacturer, depended sa panel, it also gets the worst of both worlds. Paminsan, di ganun ka ganda yung color reproduction, so parang TN panel. At the same time, paminsan, hindi ganun ka ganda yung response time, like an IPS panel. And that's really where we are now. The VA is sort of the compromise that a lot of the gaming monitor guys are using. In that it can give you fast refresh rates and acceptable color reproduction. But yung ay, there's always a trade-off. There's always a trade-off between speed and the vibrancy of the color, the brightness of the monitor. So in general, if you're looking for a nice gaming screen, you probably want a VA. But do your homework on that specific model. So since na sa gaming tayo, another feature of monitors is G-Sync versus Free-Sync. Ano ba tong war of the two sinks? Both of them try to solve the same problem. Paminsan, when you're playing a game, may napapansin kang screen tearing or ripping, like if you move, especially sa FPS, if you move the screen around, you notice na parang yung picture na hahati siya yung yung yami tearing or ripping on the screen. Both G-Sync and Free-Sync try to solve that. If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, G-Sync yun. And to take advantage of G-Sync, you need to have a G-Sync-compatible monitor. Ganon din sa AMD. If you have an AMD card, then it uses Free-Sync. You need a Free-Sync-compatible monitor. So they both try to do the same thing to lessen or eliminate screen tearing or that kanda parang nagdalag yung game kasi yung apang jagad na yung pag-refresh nung image on the screen. But since yun nga, makalaban sa AMD siya sa NVIDIA, kailangan din makalaban yung standards nila. So if you have an NVIDIA graphics card, you need to have a G-Sync-compatible monitor. For an AMD card, you need to have a Free-Sync-compatible monitor. There has been an improvement on this front. Now, may tinatawog na G-Sync-compatible. And these are monitors na sinasertifining NVIDIA. They're gonna say na, okay, ito talaga hindi siya G-Sync-rated. Pero G-Sync-compatible siya in the sense na we guarantee that if you use these monitors, wala siyang, wala kang makikita na screen artifacts. So let's say yung monitor hindi siya G-Sync-rated, pero G-Sync-compatible siya, pwede mo pa rin gamitin yung sa NVIDIA graphics card mo and yun nga, NVIDIA guarantees that okay na ito, they will, you won't experience screen artifacts if you use these monitors. So a slight improvement, but to be honest, it's a real pain na kumay NVIDIA graphics card ka, tapos, magahanap ka pa kung yung monitor na gusto mong bilhin, kung G-Sync-compatible ba yan. Sometimes a manufacturer doesn't really say so. There are unofficial lists of G-Sync compatibility, pero since unofficial nga siya, you don't know how you don't know how accurate they are, you need to take them with a grain of salt. So it's nice na may ganito, G-Sync-compatible instead of G-Sync-rated, pero yun nga, you also have to do your homework if you're looking into that. Another thing about monitors is that size matters. May nakita akong advice datin na what's the best size for a gaming monitor tapos yung payo 24 to 27 inches. Some people, kasi ayon nila 32 inches, parang alapit sayo and then parang sobrang in your face ng monitor, but I disagree. I try to get the largest monitor possible for anything that I'm using. Kung that's for work, if that's for gaming, if that's for editing, whatever I need to do. Ano kaya ng budget ko? The largest size that I can get with my budget, that's what I usually go for. Because size really matters. It seems so small. 3 inches. Ano ba yung difference ng 3 inches? 24 to 27 and a difference ng 5 inches? 27 to 32. But baby, those inches matter. I talk about monitors. Size really matters when it comes to this. And your use case also comes into play. Datin na review ko yung LG 32 inch monitor and you can see it here. I love that monitor. It's really nice. The colors really pop. It's massive. 32 inches. Tamang tama lang for productivity as well as gaming. And for that one, it's an IPS screen. Pero, you don't mind gaming on it. And if you're just gaming like Dota or not, yung mga games na hindi daman FPS na you don't need like super fast refresh rates. Then a 32 IPS monitor versus a 24 inch TN is fine. Your screen doesn't refresh that much and it really makes a difference in the immersion. Ganda talaga nung size nung 32 inches. My personal monitor at home is a 24 inch gaming monitor. So I have hours and hours and hours of experience playing different games on it. But right now, if I could upgrade, I would really go with something bigger like a 32 inch curve. My brother has a 34 inch na curve. So he can't go back anymore na naisubukan na yung 34. Hindi ninyakaya bumalik to anything to a smaller monitor because yung nga, once na try mo na yung size na yung it's really helpful whatever you're doing on your computer. So when people ask me like should I get a larger size monitor versus a smaller monitor pero masapilis yung response time or mas matas yung refresh rates, yung hurts, I usually tell ask them what I need it for. But in general, my rule of thumb is get the largest that your budget can afford. And that brings us to our last tip. Kala mo rin talagang timplahan kong kaya nung computer mo yung belis nung monitor. Yung nga, bibilikan nung 27 inch na TN na kaya mag 166 Hertz. Pero yung graphics card mo for that game kaya lang yung 60 Hertz. So sayang lang din yung gastos mo dun sa mahal na monitor. Hindi mo naman nakikita yung performance gains or gusto mo mag 4K gaming. Bumilikan ng monitor na kaya mag 4K gaming. Pero hindi naman kaya nung system mo. Kaya nga mag 4K pero 15 frames per second which is unplayable. I don't care kahit anong game nyan 15 FPS is pretty bad. Baka pwede mo po pag chagaan kong puzzle game. Pero kong FPS 15 FPS is that you might as well just not move and patayin ka lang nung kalabad. You need to take into consideration when buying a monitor also your system and what kind of gaming do you want to do 2K, 4K, 1080p Generally na, most modern systems can comfortably do 1080p gaming between 60 to 100 Hz. That's a modern system in most games. Yung yung andaming configurations ngayon, andaming game so it's hard to give a general very basic numbers that can apply to everybody. But I think 1080p gaming 60 to 100 Hz if you're not sure what your PC can do and what game you'll be playing that's probably the margin that you want to consider when buying a monitor. So medyo ba ramin ka lang pag-isipan when buying a monitor and take your time kasi yung monitor usually matagal yan matagal yung lifespan yan. So kahit na outgrow mo na yung PC mo na upgrade mo na or napagpalit mo ng bago usually the monitor goes with you to the new system. At least that's what happens for me. So ba rambihirya lang ako bumalin ng monitor kasi yung ya, okay pa rin sila even after 5, 6, 7 years. So it's better to slow down, don't rush take the time to really find a monitor that fits your needs and finds a monitor na yan yung mga specs na kailangan mo. We have been reviewing more monitors lately and you can check them out here or yung ya, may series kami na paano ba bumalin ng basic PC parts and you can see that here. So ayon, thanks for watching.
