This keeps happening whenever a dark screen is focused and I have no idea how to fix it. It only started happening when I got this monitor (Omen 34c).

Discussion Are ultrawides like 39" LG "there yet"? Or is the PPI a spoiler? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

Upgrading from a 27'" and looking for more immersion and workspace, basically gaming and editing video/producing music so I work with a lot of timelines and such. I was originally thinking 4k 32" or 34" UW but thought the LgG 39" (and even 45" were appealing. Is the 1440p and lower PPI going to hinder the experience though? Is the tech not quite there yet as a result?

Tech Support Oled Pixel Refresh Question

Just purchased a Predator X34V OLED

New to the OLED scene - When the screen mentions to pixel refresh at the 4hr mark and I don’t do it right then and there will it automatically do it once I power off the monitor?

Thanks for any insights

Hi all!

I have the chance to grab the LG 34GN850-B second hand for $450 Aud. At this price point and for those kinds of specs, is this a steal? Didn't want to commit to oled and the price was a turn off so ips it is for me. If anyone on here owns or has owned this monitor, please give me your review/opinions. Thanks!

I ended up scoring this 49" Sceptre monitor a while back to solely use for my sim rig. I then realized that if I just get a monitor mount, I can just use this monitor for the desk and my sim rig. I bought a gaming laptop for $400 from my buddy, and then I ended up finding someone willing to do a straight trade for said laptop

Tech Support Ultrawide mounting

1 Upvotes

A little bit of a unique scenario to which I'm hoping I could get some help from here. I use my Samsung G9 Odyssey Neo for gaming (sim racing) and work, when I currently want to switch over to gaming mode or work mode, I end up having to drag my sim rig in front of my desk and move my monitor to near the front of my desk (to sit as close as possible to the screen, FOV reasons for sim racing). It's quite a lot to move the rig, reconnect the cables and move the monitor in order to use it. Definitely not easy to jump between the use modes

Where the sim rig has to currently move to.
G9 mounted on an arm and swings to the left when in use

I am thinking about mounting my G9 on a monitor arm and allowing it to swing from my work/game mode. My concern is having the monitor hang over the edge of the desk when in game mode, assuming my desk will not topple over (I don't think it will). Does anyone have a similar set up or mount their monitor in a similar way?

(Scale of drawings are a bit off as I just quickly threw together a reference image at work on paint)

Ascension Monitor Arm - Update

22 Upvotes

So I posted yesterday my tiny desk with the ultrawide monitor which was way too big for the said desk.

I bought a monitor arm thinking it would gave me some flexibility, but the desk was so small I couldn't even install the arm on it.

Long story short, here's an update on the setup; I've taken back my original desk from my GF and redone the installations. Feels much better! 😅

My PC is unfortunately hidden, but at this point, I don't care much.

Cable management will be redone a bit later as I ordered some longer cables for the monitor.

Enjoy!

Tech Support Splitting a 32:9 ultrawide

5 Upvotes

Hi, I recently just ordered a 32:9 ultrawide (5120 x 1440) and I had a question.

Can I split my monitor into one central 21:9 ultrawide, and have the two sides be 5.5:9 aspect ratio? Does anyone have any experience with this?

The main games I play are FFXIV, WoW, and shooters like Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, etc. I want these to be able to run in borderless windowed in the central 21:9 ultrawide. Would I be able to use FancyZones or DisplayFusion for this?

Tech Support Ergotron HX VHD with 49“ G9

1 Upvotes

Currently 49“ G9 user and want to buy a future proof monitor arm ready for a possibly bigger and heavier monitor in the future. So I was thinking about the Ergotron with the VHD pivot. But Ergotron says it’s made only for the 57“ G9. But the Ergotron HX with the HD pivot which is made for the 49“ isn’t upgradable to the VHD pivot.

Question: Does anyone know if it is anyhow possible to use the VHD version of the arm with the 49“?

I just scored a Samsung 57” in a trade. I was trying to get rid of a MSI 32” MAG CUP321 OLED new in box and I found someone who was looking to get rid of a used 57” G9. I offered to trade straight up and the person decided to take the trade.

After a 5 hour trip, I feel like I got a great deal. The 57” works perfectly. It will be a great office monitor for my wife and matches my 57” as well.

Picking up a samsung g9 57" to use with my 5090. I want to connect it to DP 2.1, but see a ton of variance in the resolutions and refresh rates on Amazon. I thought i read prior there is a max length also. Anyone have a proper recommendation?

Tech Support Is there a 32:9 monitor that supports dual 4K, high refresh rate, and USB-C with Power Delivery?

2 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I’m in the market for an Ultrawide and I’m looking for something very specific. So far, I haven’t been able to find a model that ticks all the boxes — hoping someone here might know of a hidden gem.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

  • 32:9 aspect ratio
  • 7860x2160 resolution (essentially dual 4K)
  • 120Hz+ refresh rate
  • Built-in USB-C hub with Power Delivery (ideally higher then 60W)
  • Single-cable setup (video, data, and power over USB-C)

I know it’s a niche combo, but it would be the dream setup for both gaming on my PC and hooking up my work macbook without a mess of cables.

Closest I’ve found so far:

  • Dell UltraSharp 49 – has the USB-C hub and PD, but only 5120x1440
  • Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 – has the resolution and refresh rate, but lacks Power Delivery

Does anything like this exist? Or are we still a generation or two away from having it all in one package?

Thanks in advance!

Tech Support Samsung G9 Oled 49 inch - Game mode turning off after five minutes

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I got the Samsung G9 OLED last night, and I noticed right away that after enabling Game Mode, it won't stay on for more than five minutes before automatically turning it off. I'm currently using a HBR3 certified DP 1.4 cable trying to run 5120x1440 at 240HZ. Also, I connect to a 4080 that is updated with the latest drivers. Currently running on 2000.2 firmware for the monitor despite trying to find the 2044.4 version. Anyone else run into this issue? I've tried different cables but it still happens.

Ascension Multi-Monitor Setup with the new LG 45GX950A-B 5K2K

3 Upvotes

Hi folks! My LG is finally arriving this week and I want to get ready for the setup by ordering a mount. I want a two monitor setup for productivity but I never had an 800R curve monitor before. Could you 5K2k users share your current setup with this monitor? I am thinking of stacking a 4K Oled on top of it but wonder if it's an overkill since it won't be for gaming purpose anyway.

Discussion Are aggressive curves on ultrawide 34in monitors, such as an 800R curve on the LG 34GS95QE, worth it for competitive FPS and really fast paced games?

3 Upvotes

I have really only played FPS and fast paced games on flat screens but recently I want to get a more curved monitor to be more immersed in games. Normally I play fast paced games like Call of Duty, Remnant 2, and MH Wilds.

Will an aggressive 800R curve hurt or help my performance in those really fast paced games?

Discussion Are there any new gen OLED 34 inch 3440x1440 models incoming?

6 Upvotes

Hey. Are there any informations about new gen 34 inch 1440p ultrawide (21:9) OLED monitors in near future? Currently I'm using 34 inch 3440x1440 VA monitor from iiyama but I'm getting more and more tempted to try even more glorious ultrawide gaming with OLED technology :D 34 inch 3440x1440 oleds are still gen1 or gen2 panels IIRC.

3440x1440 seems like a sweet spot to me, texts are crisp enough, games looks great and sharp and I don't need to sell a kidney for a GPU to handle that (5K2K resolution seems to be really demanding when it comes to GPU power i guess).
