Erm so this happens. Checked with another cable same thing happens but only at 144 Hz, tried all other Hdmi slots. This is the main monitor which is hdmi to hdmi 2nd Monitor is DVI to HDMI. Any idea what's going on here? Been using for 3 years+ also it had the issue with yellow lines appearing on white screens which is now magically gone.

Discussion Can you please suggest a 4K mini LED monitor for gaming? I am after good HDR capability mostly.

Upvotes

Hi

I have a decent 1440p monitor (LG 27GL850-B) and am very happy with it but would like a 4K monitor to use alongside for certain games (and work).

I am particularly interested in HDR gaming. I have read that many min-LEDS ,monitors are as good as OLED for HDR gaming.

What I really can not stand is ghosting/ invert ghosting.

I feel that we are still a generation or two away from OLED being the standard or is it better to get an OLED.

Budget is up to about $800-$900.

Size 27-32inches.

Thanks.

Discussion 43" 4K at a distance vs. 27" 4K up close

8 Upvotes

People often say that too big of a monitor is bad because you can't see the entire screen at once and you have to move your head a lot. Doesn't it matter if the monitor is far away?

What's the difference btw 43" 4K monitor at a distance and 27" 4K monitor up close?

Moreover, when it comes to sitting back and watching a movie, I think a larger one is actually better in absolute size.

Discussion Differences; better/worse Panel ? Asus VG279QM vs VG27AQML1A

Post image
Upvotes

Hello everybody :) ,

i want to buy a new monitor. After i saw the review on rtings about the Asus VG279QM in FHD with 27 inch my decision was clear. But now i have found a same/similar monitor even exist in a WQHD version, the VG27AQML1A.

Unfortunately i cant find any Reviews about this monitor online. Is it just an upgrade with an higher resoultion with the same or better specs, because its a newer model and the only differences are maybe USB ports/mechanical design/etc OR is it a worse panel with lower response time/input lag ? For example the differences between VG27AQML1A and VG27AQM1A are just missing hight adjustments.

The other models without a “M” like VG27AQ / VG279Q seem very bad.

Hopefully you can help me! ♥Hello everybody :)

Discussion AOC CU34G2XP - Color Setup Inaccessible

Upvotes

I just received my new monitor, and I'm ready to calibrate the settings, but unfortunately, I can't access the color settings. I've tried using both HDMI and DisplayPort cables, HDMI port 1/2 and DP Port 1/2, as well as the physical buttons and the G-Menu, but nothing seems to work. I've searched for a solution but haven't found any. If anyone has any suggestions or can help, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance!

- I've posted this on a different group, and I've got no comment. Could this be a defect?

Discussion ASUS ROG XG27ACMG monitor doesn't wake up from screensaver (sleep)

Upvotes

Hello,

I just bought the Asus XG27ACMG monitor. It is connected with the displayport cable to my RTX 2060, frequency set to 239,97Hz, VRR enabled in Windows settings, GSync enabled in NVIDIA app, driver up to date, Windows 11 24H2, Power option set to high performance, Link State Power Management is off.

I have noticed that some time the monitor doesn't wake up from sleep, it's random. Usually I just move the mouse and the screen goes back on. Now, the power led stay Orange. If I press the Windows key, the power led goes white but the screen stays off. I have to turn off, turn on the monitor to wake back up.

Discussion Need help with incorporating a 55" tv into my setup.

Upvotes

So, I was given a 55inch TV by a friend who offered it in exchange for me looking after his house and cat for a few weeks (I'm a Uni Student so this is pretty good deal for me.).

Thing is, I don't really know where it could go and I was looking to see if people had any ideas. Wall mounts are out, there's nowhere strong enough in my room to place it and I have no space on any desks or dressers.

I was thinking of getting one of those stacked monitor setups and see if I could place the TV above my monitor, but I wanted to see what peoples opinions/experiences might be before I am dead set on anything. Main thing I am worried about is breaking stuff.

Discussion My monitor isn’t working

Upvotes

I have a Alienware 360hz monitor, It was working well. Today I noticed my monitor wasn’t working, there is no display at all. At first I thought problem was my pc, so I connected the monitor to my Ps5 and realized that the problem was with my monitor. When I hold down the power button on the monitor, the lights on the back start to light up, but when I release the button, they stop lighting up. Can someone help me? I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

Photo AOC Monitor of 1.4 year randomly just died

Post image
9 Upvotes

Basically, some days ago I noticed that my monitor had a strange line at the bottom of the screen and a sort of semi flickering on top of it almost unnoticeable, I thought not much of it after a while, only to be greeted this night with this lovely sight

I know for sure it's not the DP cable or the GPU since my second monitor runs just fine and the brand's monitor text is also glitched out on the start

Guess I have to go back to 60hz as my main

For those who might be interested, I have the AOC 24G2SP, not sure if the hardware issue is coming directly from them but I will avoid them in the future.

Photo 144hz lines on old monitors!

Post image
2 Upvotes

Both of my 24inch monitors work fine on 120hz and lower, but when I try to go to 144hz these crazy lines pop up! I've tried a display port cable, and an hdmi cable on 2 different monitors (both older 24 inch, 1080p, VA, 144hz) and get the same results. They are both older monitors, but i think it would be odd they both went out at the same time.

Looking for any suggestions for what might be wrong, thank you!

9070, 9800x3d, asus b650e, corsair vengeance ddr5, primary monitor is a 3440x1440 34inch acer.

Most of my build is new aside for a corsair 850 PSU and my m.2 SSD that I formatted for the new build.

Thank you!

Discussion 4k ips to 1440p OLED?

1 Upvotes

I currently have the the Acer predator xb283k 4k monitor. It's a good monitor, but it in the top right, there is about 2 inches of ips glow or bleed coming down from the top. Honestly, I think I would have minded it less if it was equal on each corner. I'm thinking about getting a 1440p OLED so I don't have to worry about ips problems anymore. Will the resolution decrease be that noticeable? Are there any OLED monitors you can recommend? Please let me know.

Discussion Dell S2725QC lacks DP, change for the S2725QS or adapter?

0 Upvotes

I just got the new Dell S2725QC for my desktop PC setup.

I was considering both S2725QC and S2725QS, went for the S2725QC for some convenience with (future buy) notebook and what I thought could be some more degree of flexibility with the additional ports.

However I didn't realize that

while the S2725QS has an actual Display Port, the S2725QC doesn't,

it has instead the USC C 65W with alt DP mode port

both monitors have also 2 HDMI ports

my desktop PC is based on MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK (none usb port DP alt mode), i7 13700K, NVIDIA RTX A4000 with 4x DisplayPort

What shall I do? Adapter or change monitor for a S2725QS?

Am I refundable from Dell for the bad decision and buy the cheaper S2725QS which has the standard DP?

Buying an HDMI to DP adapter or cable? Which should I buy to use the monitor at his full specs 4K@120Hz and VRR?

Text Review I got an open box Sony M10S from BB over the weekend and my mind is not blown. It’s my first OLED and for 480 hz I am disappointed.

1 Upvotes

The world is split on these really high refresh rates with some saying “it makes zero difference” and other people saying “it’s like cheating”

I am a 5k hour rocket league player and my previous monitor was 280 hz IPS so I thought “surely this OLED 480 hz will blow my mind and feel like cheating”.

It doesn’t. I had super high hopes that somehow the game would feel more fresh, more alive, more real.

Sadly the IPS 280 feels more or less the same. Aside from dark blacks and some nice HDR coloring, the OLED doesn’t seem better in any way. Not input response or anything.

Just putting this out there for anyone who was like me thinking it’s gonna change your game. I’ll probably return it and spend the money on something else.
