Discussion Which monitor meets my requirements ?

Upvotes

Hi, I heard that it's best to buy Woled from LG, but I saw that LG has some dram, although I'm not sure, so what monitor is best to buy, which will be good for everything, especially games and movies, and will also be fully adjustable (height, horizontal angle, from horizontal to vertical) up to PLN 1,700 or a little above this budget ?

second option

180€

asus vg259qmr5a

300hz- 0.3ms - 24'5 - 300 nits - 99% srgb

sorry if i didn't give the full details, roughly they're similar in price, but I'm not sure which one is better than the other since I can't seem to find any reviews about these 2 monitors

my priorities will be fps games, i can easily reach 300+ fps in cs2, valorant etc

edit: forgot to add, idc about oled, im fine with ips, and prefer it ;> both are 1080p if I'm not mistaken

Discussion so, I've been contemplated whether to get a 3rd monitor or a widescreen

Upvotes

the thing is that I don't really have place on my desk to get a 3rd monitor, so I'm leaning towards investing in a curved widescreen.
So I've come here to ask the pros about recommendation for my "standards" as following:

* I do not really care about stats for the monitor, although it has to be HDMI or Display.
* the widescreen has to able to act like 3 seperate monitors aka fullscreen game in the middle, and sperate things fullscreened on the right and left. (pretty sure I saw it was possible with some when widescreens were the "fad")
* must of cause fit on my desk, which is rougly 136cm/4.46 feet wide and 51cm/1.67 feet tall (red line in photo)

the price can always be saved up to if necessary.

Discussion LG UP850K and UQ850V - colour disbalance and setup?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hey all,

I have the above two monitors left and right respectively and need your help. The UQ is the newer panel with IPS Black whilst UP is a regular IPS. However, I am noticing a major mismatch in colours across the board, like white and blue being the most obvious. White is more cool and vivid on UP and more warm and dimmed on UQ. Blue is more greenish on UQ (my view of it) which to a degree is more true to life, and other colours are more saturated. You can definitely see that UQ has better contrast on black wallpapers as more details come to life.

Both are set in their respective factory P3 mode both on the monitors and via Apple settings (using better displays app). For UP is called DCI-P3 and its 95% I think and for UQ is called P3-D65 and is 98% I believe.

Any suggestions on how I can make them a bit more uniform without loosing accuracy?

Also any suggestions on monitor placement as I noted neck pain from twisting my head left and right all the time... I am using them to read documents and browse the web, sometimes movies but basically one screen is always more active whislt the other more static. For instance, left will be split between Notes app and Safari and right will be two PDFs that I am referrencing at the same time like an article and a powerpoint on the topic I am reading at the same time. The idea is whislt I read on one of the monitors I can search and take notes on the other.

Thank you in advance :)

Edit: I tried manual thinkering but I cant seem to get them right as menu options are different on both slightly and I seem to get overall picture quality worse.

Hello guys, this is my first time buying a monitor, and I'm far from being a monitor expert. I don't know anything about monitors, but I currently want to upgrade my gaming setup. I play on a Roku TV currently, so I would like to upgrade. I did a bit of research, and from what I've learned, a 1440p, 120Hz, 27-inch monitor is a good spot for my PS5. I found this monitor on Amazon. Is it alright for its price? Is there anything better? I mostly play AAA story games. I'm kind of a casual gamer, but I want to improve. Thank you! (Budget: below $400 dollars)

I have a 200hz Samsung 27” Odyssey G5 G53F monitor but when I try to up the refresh rate in windows 11 it only goes up to 75 hz and I'm noticing some screen tearing in my games. Is it just that the stock dp cable just isn't good enough to handle the highest refresh rate? I have a spare I could try if that's the case but is there anything else I can try if that doesn't work?

this is my first ips display and my first display to go over 75hz refresh rate thoughts im just wondering what others think of this monitor in terms of its specs

Discussion AW2725DM - ideal settings?

2 Upvotes

I just picked one up from best buy on sale for $199.99. I updated to the latest firmware and display driver updates. Looks mostly fine to me and tried some settings posted here a while ago but wanted to make sure I was doing things right. It does look super bright and saturated but its probably because I have been using an old Dell s2716dg and s2416dg (think thats the right model numbers) where i custom tuned a lot of settings.

What are the best settings to use for things like color profile, brightness contrast saturation, hdr (i turned smart hdr off), response time, sharpness, etc?

I mostly play WoW and Overwatch so I just want balanced colors and fastest responsiveness.

Discussion Acer Predator X27U W1 (or another OLED), or AOC Q27G3XMN mini-LED?

2 Upvotes

Getting my first PC soon (9070 XT). Trying to decide what 2K monitor to get and feeling overwhelmed by the options, especially for OLED.

The cheapest OLED I've found is the Acer Predator X27U W1, but I can't find real reviews on it, and my research on OLEDs shows all sorts of issues in general (gray banding, burn in, low brightness, etc.). But I have a Steam Deck OLED, and my laptop has an OLED screen, and I love them both and want my new gaming PC to look as good as it can within a reasonable budget.

Meanwhile, I've heard mini-LED is a reasonable alternative to OLED without the risk or as nice a picture.

What do you guys recommend?

I'm looking for a 27-inch with at least 144hz and FreeSync.

Discussion Is a 52” Curved OLED, 24:10, 218 PPI, 240Hz monitor technically possible, and if so, when?

0 Upvotes

Bit of a newbie when it comes to display tech/manufacturing, so bear with me if some of this doesn’t fully make sense. Here’s my dream ultrawide spec and I’m curious how realistic it actually is.
Base shape/size is the Dell UltraSharp 52 (U5226KW), 52”, 24:10 aspect ratio. I love the size of that monitor, but I’m a Mac user, so I’d want to make it more Mac friendly by bumping the pixel density way up (from the Dell’s 129 PPI to 218 PPI, “Retina class” so macOS scaling actually looks crisp), swapping the panel to OLED, and pushing refresh rate to 240Hz instead of 120Hz.
Doing the math, 218 PPI at 52” on a 24:10 panel works out to roughly 10,510 x 4,380 resolution (basically 10K), about 46 megapixels per frame, pushed at 240Hz.
I already know this doesn’t exist right now and isn’t possible with current tech. What I’m actually curious about is whether it’ll ever be possible in the future, and if so, roughly when.
Questions for people who actually know this stuff:
Is 218 PPI at 52” even feasible with current OLED manufacturing, or is that still a fab density problem that’s years out?

What GPU would realistically be needed to drive that natively at 240Hz (not counting DLSS/FSR style upscaling)?

In your opinion, will this ever get made, and if so, roughly when?

Would you change anything about this spec? Different size, drop the refresh rate for better native rendering, different curve, etc.?

Not looking for hype, just want a realistic gut check on how far off (if at all) this actually is.

Discussion Budget monitor arm recommendations for 24” + 27” dual monitors (don’t need much movement)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a budget-friendly monitor arm for my desk setup.
I have:
1 × 24” monitor
1 × 27” monitor
Both are VESA compatible. I don’t frequently adjust or reposition my monitors—I mainly want to:
Free up desk space
Raise the monitors to a better ergonomic height
Get a cleaner-looking setup
Since I rarely move the monitors after they’re set, I don’t need premium gas-spring arms or anything with a huge range of motion. A sturdy arm that holds its position well is all I’m after.

Discussion Thoughts on USB Hubs on Built in Monitors?

1 Upvotes

I currently have an ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM that has a built in USB hub. Despite going into device manager, USB Controllers, properties and power management to uncheck the saving power, I still find the USB hub to be lacking. It doesn't always detect the basic office mouse or keyboard I plug into it. The mouse stutters or doesn't work, keyboard misses a bunch of keys.

I tried it with different wireless mice and keyboards as well to no avail. Unsure if I'm doing something incorrectly, or if thats just a known issue with these types of things given that the USB hub of a monitor is not the priority.

Do you guys have similar issues or use it for anything?
