my 1080p never froze

my 2k is randomlydoes it

its only on google chrome though not games lol

[fading wyvern]

What monitor is it?

It’s only doing it chrome… maybe it’s whatever is happening on chrome. Could try turning on hardware acceleration or turning it off in chrome.

Might be messing with it somehow

It honestly just sounds like chrome might be crashing

[gilded aurora]

its already off

[gilded aurora]

it freezes on other browsers aswelll

[gilded aurora]

[errant edge]

Try changing the refresh rate back to 60hz

See if that helps with your issues

[gilded aurora]

okay so im rmaing my gpu

but i dont got the anti static wrap for it

do i just put it in the box>?

with the foam

Guys, I need second, third, fourth, etc., Opinions on this Battle:

Which one should I get? I'd be using this TV as a Second "Monitor" for my PC to watch movies and TV Shows on. I prefer the 75" with Hisense, but also am Considering the $100 price decrease with the TCL.

[tribal citrus]

IPS go brrrrr

[sonic vapor]

Darvan! You're back!

[fading wyvern]

So atm the score is tcl: 4 to Hisense: 0, Fal, felix and me all think the tcl is the better purchase. The screens use the same tech but one just works better.

[sonic vapor]

I'm in limbo deciding over here

I know the TCL beats it in every category

I just would love the 75" size

[fading wyvern]

It’ll be very similar performance either way

[sonic vapor]

Man this is tough

Well you guys are right

You're the experts after all

[fading wyvern]

Not experts lol

Just tech nerds on the internet who like toys

If the 75” is what your heart desires go for it.

It’s not a bad purchase either way

[sonic vapor]

You're right

How much is the performance difference?

I suppose the better question is, Is this Hisense the best price and performance I am going to get for $800?

[sonic vapor]

What's your say? Is this the best I'm going to get for 75"?

[small warren]

Please don't call us that, we're discord randoms with a good knowledge base and experience, not experts lol

I still say 65"

[sonic vapor]

Well you're certainly more experienced than me

[sonic vapor]

Why so?

Is the $100 price decrease and increase in stats worth the losing of 10"?

[small warren]

I have faith in the qled experience after 3 *panels of it

Sorry, misinfo

[sonic vapor]

hold up hold up hold up what about this https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-75-class-5-series-4k-uhd-qled-dolby-vision-hdr-smart-roku-tv/6514548.p?ar=1796787096292735938&cmp=RMX&nrtv_cid=.nrtv_plchldr.&skuId=6514548&utm_source=narrativ

is it not mini led

[small warren]

Qled is different to mini led

[sonic vapor]

shoot

hmmmmmmm

[small warren]

65" is big man

(take that out of context)

My 55 inch takes up half the room

(again pls)

[sonic vapor]

I'm letting my non-knowledgeable brain try to convince me to get the obviously comparatively worse and more expensive TV simply because I want a gargantuan screen

Is the TCL truly that much better?

[small warren]

Bigger ≠ better

(I'm having fun now)

[sonic vapor]

What reasons for the TCL being better truly make it so much more better?

[fading wyvern]

So basically the tcl will not only give you better contrast, but also much better gaming performance if you ever need it, it’s response times will be noticeably better. The colors on both are very similar but the HDR experience will be better on the tcl which can sustain much higher brightness

[small warren]

Rtings

[sonic vapor]

What things is my lack of experience making me miss?

[small warren]

If rtings says it's better, it's a strong reason

[sonic vapor]

Holy crap well say less

[sonic vapor]

Alright guys you're right thank you

Now I'm going to buy it before I change my mind

Anyone have an updated link?

[small warren]

That is gonna have some wicked peak brightness

[fading wyvern]

It’s 1.2k 👀

[sonic vapor]

wait what

[small warren]

Damnn

[sonic vapor]

what's 1.2k

[small warren]

Peak nits

[fading wyvern]

Vs the hisenses 400

[sonic vapor]

oh damn

HUH

TRIPLE BRIGHTNESS?

[small warren]

Big difference

[sonic vapor]

That alone is enough good GOD

[fading wyvern]

Yeah

[small warren]

Huge difference

[sonic vapor]

Yeah guys screw 75"

I'll get one that big when I have 5k in disposable income

Right now I'll chill with the 65" TCL

[fading wyvern]

What I should’ve said is 4x the brightness

And darker blacks

[sonic vapor]

sheesh

Despite an eye-widening price, thoughts on this monitor? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096YNP6ZR?tag=rtings-mn-r-amazon-20&ie=UTF8&th=1

neo G9 is very good but... neo G9 OLED https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-electronics-unveils-its-new-odyssey-viewfinity-and-smart-monitor-lineups-at-ces-igniting-the-next-generation-of-display-technology 🤤

[sonic vapor]

BRO?????????

hm, used car, or God a monitor, which one should I get guys

[fading wyvern]

just buy the tv

[surreal quarry]

do u already have a car or a monitor that is at least 90 hz?

[sonic vapor]

No car, 4K 60 Hz Monitor

[surreal quarry]

then i would get the car + an midrange/budget 1440p 90+hz monitor

[sonic vapor]

57” Neo G9 or 49” Neo G9 OLED who wins

[surreal quarry]

personally id go with the OLED but both are WAY to big for me. My ideal size is 27" - 32"

[sonic vapor]

I honestly don’t know what I’d do with 57” of real estate

[surreal quarry]

probally fun for racing games

but im going to college soon and will not have room for 57"

[tribal citrus]

just wondering anyone heard this brand Z-Edge https://www.newegg.com/black-z-edge-gaming-monitor-ug34w-34/p/3D4-004G-00015?Item=9SIAT2EJGA5827&cm_sp=Homepage_SS-_-P1_9SIAT2EJGA5827-_-01102023&quicklink=true

I saw some come through fedex

hmmm 60hz

[sonic vapor]

Say, guys, how's the sound quality on this? Should I invest in a sound system? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-65-class-6-series-mini-led-qled-4k-uhd-smart-google-tv/6470277.p?skuId=6470277

Fal!!!! Good to see you again!

[misty gyro]

Considering rtings has it in their "sounds great" article I'd say it's good. Try it and see if you need more bass or something.

[sonic vapor]

I see I see

[misty gyro]

Personally my TCL has had good enough sound. You'll only notice a problem in certain content, mostly surround sound because duh, only 2 speakers.

[sonic vapor]

"Sounds" good, heh. I don't need anything fancy anyways

Just how much would a $100-$200 soundbar or equivalent truly improve one's experience, anyways?

[misty gyro]

Depends on your preferences. Larger speakers can get louder and can have a little more range, especially bass and sub bass

I'm not exactly one to blast dubstep and watch action movies with tons of explosions all day

[sonic vapor]

Could you tell me a little more about that? I don't know much about true sound and the "Audiophile" experience, so I would not be able to appreciate differences in sound

[misty gyro]

Bass is going to be that lower, thumping sound that you can feel in your bones if it's loud enough

Mostly explosions in movies, but depending on your preferred genre it can be critical in music

Midrange is going to be around speaking level for people with average voices.

High range treble you'll get things like car honks, crashes, screams

Depending on how they're tuned and equalized, no speaker is really going to be good at all major ranges

So true audiophile setups include things like subwoofers to cover the lower bass range

[old arch]

Built in tv speakers are also crap vs what normal speakers we can buy for under $100.

[sonic vapor]

Have any recommendations that would be relatively cheap and a significant upgrade for this TCL?

[severe dirge]

I like my soundbar with sub. Gets quite loud and has clear audio for movies, music and games. If I want to play a game where I need spatial audio to hear where footsteps are coming from I just use a headset.

[old arch]

Never settle.

[silent epoch]

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/gaming-monitors-have-been-lying-to-us/

[misty gyro]

Every reviewer has pointed that out for years. Like the "1ms" response time you only get in unusable overdrive modes and only in certain transitions.

[silent epoch]

@fading wyvern do you really think 240hz is worth it? 🤔

[fading wyvern]

Not necessarily, with constant updates to panels it’ll become much more normal to see higher and higher refresh rates, when that happens things like 240hz will probably be much cheaper and way more worth it. In a competitive setting though any minuscule advantage like that 2ms of latency you potentially shaved off of inputs could be worth it to the elite few

TLDR god gamers want low input latency

[silent epoch]

i want to be a god gamer

[small warren]

Having been on 360 and 240 I wouldn't say it's worth investing in framerate

[misty gyro]

https://youtu.be/VrCPrVI5dCA

[small warren]

Reso matters more imo

Yes system latency helps

[misty gyro]

TLDR $600 average pc got 26 ms click to photon, $11k PC got 12ms

[fading wyvern]

Tenz will benefit more then all of us when it comes to inputs

[small warren]

Fwiw btw I think gpu and monitor counted for most of this

[misty gyro]

Plus peripherals

8k polling rate and all that

Optical switches on keyboard

[small warren]

Yeah the mouse and keeb would help

And I guess consequently the cpu to a small degree

But the bulk of it really comes out of the monitor framerate being absurdly high

[misty gyro]

It was a 360Hz vs a 390Hz I think

[fading wyvern]

Mouse and monitor are by far the most important for input, besides you know, the pc

herman miller is also the most important factor in input latency

[small warren]

Yes

Then chugging that gaming powder or whatever

[misty gyro]

Yep they had Linus do a dry scoop

[fading wyvern]

Also light latency matters so you should sit as close humanly possible to the center of your screen

https://tenor.com/view/valorant-gif-23571114

[small warren]

But you factor all of it in, and it's what, 5-10%? Of your total latency

[fading wyvern]

Eh well you could drop 10ms or so pretty easily

[misty gyro]

11:04 for laughs

[small warren]

Meanwhile latency freaks are out there obsessing over ddr5 latency gains

It's chasing the superlative tbh

[fading wyvern]

And for the real latency freaks like myself we have fiber internet and move next to our local servers

[sage trail]

not for those looking to scoop that 540hz asus monitor

[small warren]

The real meta

[sage trail]

cpu needs to cook at sub 2ms frame times to hit that

[misty gyro]

14ms difference is imperceptible by the broadest majority of people, the average that's noticeable is around 60ms

[fading wyvern]

My ping in most games is 1-15ms

[misty gyro]

1ms ping

[sage trail]

my ping is dog crap bc spectrum

[misty gyro]

Is the server on your local router or something lol

[fading wyvern]

Well when a bunch of 150-170ms reacters a diff of 50 ms is massive

[small warren]

And once you pass 240hz, the frametime latency gains are fractions of a ms

It's extremely diminishing, stuff like the 8K mouse and wooting do a lot more tbh than beyond 240hz

[sage trail]

need 1000hz monitor to sync with my 1000hz mouse polling rate

[small warren]

Higher reso too

More detail for better clarity is huge

[fading wyvern]

Diminishing returns aside, clarity in game is massive* lots of cs pros would set the game to 4:3 for larger targets

Even pros that moved to Val used the same type of res for better visibility

[quartz sandal]

144 vs 390

[misty gyro]

Ah, yes that'll account for a little bit of the 14ms

[quartz sandal]

They "had" a 360 and 390 in the 11k setup

But unplugged the 360

[misty gyro]

Only 1000Hz polling? How average

Need 8000 or ur a scrub

Like me

[small warren]

Laughs in 8000

Hello everyone I am looking for some help with the custom Laptop I am building out of my old bulky military laptop case it has plenty of room to hold a desktop motherboard and corresponding parts that go with it and has pre-set hole made in the case for things like the motherboard ports and SSD tray and a small graphics card if I wanted it but the problem I am running into is how to wire/solder the monitor and keyboard to the board without messing the board up and wasting a good motherboard

The board I am using is a ASUS ROG Z790-I gaming motherboard

[silent epoch]

https://youtu.be/vH2K4XqlLsY

[languid escarp]

I need help deciding on which monitor to acquire

1. HP X27Q at $185

2. Dell S2722DGM at $200

3. Acer XB271HU at $200

4. Acer Nitro XV272U at $200

I weight color accuracy more so than response time, as I play flight sim more often than I do csgo

[silent epoch]

Hmmm

Color accuracy isn't all that important for gaming

vibrancy, panel uniformity, and contrast ratio is more of a deal breaker imo

[languid escarp]

I should also mention I game a lot in a dark environment, and these days I do a lot more work instead of gaming 😦

[silent epoch]

According to rtring, the Acer nitro is your best option

[silent epoch]

Sadly, you'll have to up your price if you want decent contrast by a few hundred dollars

OLED is what we all need at an affordable price range.

Seems like all of the 27 inch 1440p models are too dim

Even in an almost dark environment

Wouldn't recommend it for anyone who's serious about picture quality

Also the pixel layout on QD-oled (Samsung)is weird. It causes some color fringing

And texts don't look as good as an IPS If I remember correctly

I like what Theo said, to wait 2 more generations

[tribal citrus]

I just want a 4k monitor

Nobody is taking offers on my listing

[languid escarp]

I have a LG 27GL850 and I find it to be pretty great for casual gaming, but I do notice the glow at night

[silent epoch]

I had the gl83a-b. The contrast wasn't the best but it was great for the most part

[languid escarp]

How does that monitor stand up against the ones I listed?

It's about a 4hr drive so I just wanna make sure I'm not wasting gas

[silent epoch]

The one I had was 1440p 144hz

The response time is about the same as the 27gl850 at a cheaper price. The 850 I think is better because it has a better screen for HDR....but it's fake. @languid escarp

The screen isn't bright enough

The gl83a-b is the better buy

You're not missing much

[fading wyvern]

If it doesn’t say 1ms response time with like a lightning ⚡️symbol next to it don’t buy it.

[languid escarp]

I got the gl850 for $180, but unfortunately there's like nobody selling LG monitors in a 3hr radius of me

Hey with my new 2k montior I got when I check the refresh rate of 240hz sometimes it pops up as 137hz or 237hz and then sometimes 240hz is it my dp cable or my Dp slots? My montior is a gigabyte m27qx

I’m gonna order a new cable but is there a specific one I should get?

[misty gyro]

It sounds more like the cable to me.
Any 1.4 cable should do.

Or higher

[gilded aurora]

What do you recommend

The montior is 2k res

[misty gyro]

Amazon basics is fine

https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-DisplayPort-Resolution-Support/dp/B08FBJYWTJ

[gilded aurora]

Does it push out 240hz? 2k res

[misty gyro]

It can do 4k120 so yes

That's the highest DP version supported by all GPUs right now anyway except the new AMD RX 7000

[tribal citrus]

what can do 4k144hz

[small warren]

4K 120 is in excess of 2k 240hz

[misty gyro]

DP 1.4 can with compression

[small warren]

So both will run

[tribal citrus]

oh

Lol

[misty gyro]

Must be nice

[gilded aurora]

Ight cool, ordered it

[gilded aurora]

Compression?

[misty gyro]

Yeah, DSC Display Stream Compression

M32u is IPS???

[fading wyvern]

Pretty sure there isn't a curved m32u?

[fading wyvern]

There is

https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-Monitor-3840x2160-Response-DisplayPort/dp/B09WPTKDQY/ref=asc_df_B09WPTKDQY/?

[visual pilot]

Yea it's m32uc, it's not m32u

Well, its the average consumer with contradictory info so

[tribal citrus]

Maybe they miss named

[fading wyvern]

He specifically said curved anyways

[tribal citrus]

I asked for a pic

[visual pilot]

Curved and m32u are the conflicting pieces of info, I'd think the extra letter is obvious enough to list but dunno

[fading wyvern]

You can get to any of gigabytes M series monitors on Amazon on the same page, could’ve just been a typical consumer and not have realized the difference

[visual pilot]

I usually pay more attention to model than description, and it should say m32uc in pretty big letters on the box

[fading wyvern]

[tribal citrus]

nevermind hes not intrested anymore

[misty gyro]

After you asked for a pic? Hmmmmmm

[tribal citrus]

he though i was selling 2 same monitors

[misty gyro]

Ah

[tribal citrus]

it seems he does racing

He wants all same monitor

[languid escarp]

just had one more question, since the acer nitro xv272u is VA and the hp x27q is IPS, if I played a lot of local coop games, should I go with the HP for the better viewing angles?

I turned it off and on again left it for 20 mins and when I cam back it was on the windows login screen What do I do?

[misty gyro]

Sounds like a bad capacitor in the monitor, if it's in warranty get it replaced. Otherwise buy a new one. It's too much hassle replacing them if you don't have microsolder tools.

I've seen some TVs have the same issue, and replaced the bulk caps in one. They're much bigger in a TV than a monitor though.

both will work but DP will allow higher hertz

[tepid summit]

Thats what i thought but i get into my own head with decisions. @tribal citrus Thank you very much

[misty gyro]

The max refresh rate of the series x is 120hz so it doesn't matter on that display

[tepid summit]

But for the PC, the DP is the way to go

[misty gyro]

Yes

The max over hdmi is 144hz so it wouldn't be able to use the full 165. DP is needed for 165.

[tribal citrus]

well on my HDMI im getting 100 and display port is 144

[misty gyro]

You don't have a true hdmi 2.1 connection then

[tribal citrus]

probs not i just used some cable i found

[tepid summit]

@misty gyro I took you recommendation on the COrsair monitor and its been absolutely fantastic, thanks!!

[misty gyro]

Yep that's probably a 2.0 cable that just kinda works at a little faster than 2.0 speed

Glad to hear it!

[tepid summit]

The monitor came with a usb-c cable. How would I connect that

[tribal citrus]

What corsair monitor

[misty gyro]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/corsair/xeneon-32qhd165

[tribal citrus]

Ah

[misty gyro]

It's optional but you can connect the upstream port to the PC to use the USB ports as a hub, and to update firmware

[tepid summit]

Ok, so if I do not have a usb-c port on my pc I can’t use that connection

[tribal citrus]

Bruh they charge this much and no stand

[misty gyro]

You can use an adapter cable, C to A

They're super common

[tepid summit]

Looking it up now

@misty gyro Would i then not need the DP connection or is the usb a supplementary connection

[misty gyro]

You'd still want the DP connection since the USB C would be connected to the motherboard and not the GPU

[tepid summit]

DUmb Question lmao

i ask a lot of them lol

[misty gyro]

So therefore it would only work if you had onboard graphics and a USB C port and would harm your fps

Ask all the questions you like, that's the best way to learn

[tepid summit]

Really, i thought since type c is a newer type of connection that it would be better

[misty gyro]

It is, sometimes

A lot of devices with C connectors only support USB 2.0 lol

[tepid summit]

I know i need the type c so i can control my monitor throughICUE

oh i see now

I guess what was throwing me off was my cousins reaction to me not having a type c port on my gpu. He kind of scoffed and laughed a bit lol

[misty gyro]

That was only a thing on Nvidia 20 series really

It's optional on anything newer

And very few take that option

[tepid summit]

Thanks @misty gyro

[mighty tide]

Trying to find out if either of my monitors support monitor mounting but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the product page.
https://us.aoc.com/en-US/gaming/products/monitors/c24g1
https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27gl83a-b-gaming-monitor

I'm looking on both pages and I can't find anything, does that mean they're likely both not mountable?

They probably are and I'm just blind lol, but in that case I'm not sure what mount to get for them

[misty gyro]

Both are standard VESA 100x100 mounts

[tribal citrus]

why is there no 4k 144hz monitor under $700

[errant edge]

Because they're premium?

[tribal citrus]

Well they used to be cheaper before this year

[misty gyro]

It's called Chinese New Year and the entire country takes 2 weeks off, creating a supply issue

It'll be back to normal soon

Oooo I forgot about that

[tribal citrus]

I'll just wait then

[clear temple]

where can i find good hdr that i can use to test a display

i want specificily hdr10+

[misty gyro]

HDR10+ doesn't exist in computer monitors, only TVs. The highest rated on a consumer monitor is HDR10, which the Dell AW3423DW/AW3423DWF have. Those are the highest HDR quality monitors I know of. They're QD-OLED so running them at peak brightness of 1000 nits will cause rapid burn in.
If you really want good HDR10+ with more than the minimum 1000 nits you need to look at extremely expensive TVs. Very little content will support more than 1000 nits anyway.

[clear temple]

I mean

I Forgot to say "videos"

Somehow

Lmao

I mean hdr videos or content

I mean hdr videos that I can use to test how good does hdr look in diffrent displays

[tribal citrus]

@misty gyro do you think driving 3-4 hours for a monitor is crazy? I found someone with the M32U selling $400

[misty gyro]

Well your car has good gas mileage so not too crazy. Just don't go alone, I'd hate to hear you were mugged/carjacked.

[tribal citrus]

[tribal citrus]

it gets 40MPG it says if i put cruise control on

I drove to microcenter one time

104 miles givertake

both ways so that 208 miles and i got back home with half tank and my car has a 10 gal tank

[old arch]

$300 off seems a bit sus, just sayin

[tribal citrus]

the normal price is $600 plus some sales go for $500 but rn with no monitors being producted like fal said price is gunna keep going up as stock gets limited

[old arch]

I see. Definitely a good value huh. Would fully confirm it's still available before that drive, lol. Price is 1 thing, then there's using 3-4 hrs on that round trip

[tribal citrus]

yea im messaging

[tribal citrus]

So the round trip is 8 hours

4 hours to drive there and back haha

But not a lot of people "local" selling m32u for that price

[tribal citrus]

@misty gyro so from my little trip I think my car gets 325 miles

I arrived at gas station with 10 miles left and 1 bar left

[tribal citrus]

It's been 12 hours

My back hurts

NO MORE GOING TO NEW YORK

[tribal citrus]

@silent epoch did you get your monitor yet

[silent epoch]

Or.. worse.

I just realized this Convo was dayys ago.

[tribal citrus]

@severe dirge I made it safe and sound

Don't worry

[tribal citrus]

Also its only worst with my driving but if I let cruise control take ever its fine

[severe dirge]

How come you want to remove it?

[light torrent]

What is the best display that will me the most out of my graphics card 4090

[quartz sandal]

Personally I'd grab an m32u

[sage trail]

curved 🤢

[errant flax]

I wish there was a place to check out what different curvatures are like to better decide which is best for the person.

[quartz sandal]

I believe they call it a shop, something to do with the Outside DLC i keep hearing about

[errant edge]

Curved or flat is personal preference

After using both, I prefer curved, but others obviously prefer flat

Even that still isn't the best of the best but it's up there

[tribal citrus]

EW TV

[misty gyro]

Sure it's a TV but it's a TV with zero ghosting, instant response times, excellent HDR, and infinite contrast ratio.

Standard PC monitors can't come anywhere close to a good TV when it comes to HDR

[tribal citrus]

samsung

also who uses HDR

[misty gyro]

I do

It looks amazing in games that support it well like no man's sky

I haven't unironically played that since I was a teenager

A 4k high refresh qled counts too

If you want a cheaper suggestion that's still great check out the M32U

[small warren]

A bit underwhelming for a 4090 tho

But would look as nice as an M32u

[light torrent]

hmmm, damn so im torn now with a smaller monitor and getting less performance or sacrificing desk space for a bigger display

Think i might need a bigger workspace

[small warren]

That's what that card entails tbh

It's truly a 4K card

[misty gyro]

A GPU that size requires you to go big or go home, or else you'll be leaving performance on the table

[wild lichen]

Good morning, i have inquiry about monitor
Every time I start up pc logo and everything shows in 2nd monitor and once it comes to login screen it switch to main monitor
same thing when am trying to enter Bios settings it displayed on 2nd monitor not main one.
How to fix this and make main monitor is main in every thing in start up and bios and every thing shows in main one?

[misty gyro]

BIOS is going to prioritize HDMI connections over DP connections for one

If there's multiple of the same type of connection then it'll prioritize the lower resolution one (iirc)

There's nothing you can do but reorganize your connections for that

[small warren]

My cards all prioritise dp

Weirdge

[misty gyro]

ig it varies by brand?

In that case it probably prioritizes the one closest to the motherboard (which is often HDMI now that I think about it)

[small warren]

Idk

It's not even specific to the port order

XTX does dp display 1 and that's port 3

4090 refuses hdmi no matter what

My 3090 and 3080 also pick dp first

[misty gyro]

Weird, ok I guess there's not as much rhyme or reason as there used to be

[small warren]

Never tried on 1650

what is the drawback of mini qled tvs , in theory , normaly content isnt white boxes in black backgrounds, the halo-ing shouldnt be that much of a problem

interms of watching movies , ik the oled have better responsetimes

[small warren]

bloom for mini-led

qled just worse blacks than oled and often best viewed front-on

[clear temple]

wouldnt there be away inwhich qled surpasses oled , there is a point inwhich increasing the dimming zones wouldnt matter

[small warren]

well QD-OLED combines the two and is extremely impressive

benefits of both

QLED also has more vibrant colours and better brightness than an OLED (OLED is typically better with darker scenes)

I want to buy a gaming monitor, I have to spend 500. One of 34 inches or 39 -from 144gz to 165gz-or 240gz.
let me know which one is better.thank you.

also i have a rtx 3060 TI

[silent epoch]

1440p? 1080p?

So you want an ultra wide.

[chrome bear]

I have to spend 500-which one is better

[silent epoch]

1440p. But harder to run

[chrome bear]

also i have a rtx 3060 TI

[silent epoch]

It all depends on the game and settings

It can run it

[chrome bear]

I like 34 inch-39-from 144gz -165gz-or-240gz

one that you can view at any settings and resolution on mos games.

Here you go

[chrome bear]

let me see

[silent epoch]

The colors performance is good, response time is good, and it's affordable. It's what you need

And smearing is almost none existent

It's not perfect, but it's balanced

Don't expect the deepest contrast compared to a VA panel

[chrome bear]

and how about a 165gz

[silent epoch]

The price will go up if you want a good panel

[chrome bear]

ok -600.

[silent epoch]

Okay

Lets see.....

Don't expect a big difference between 144-165

This is not like the jump from 60-144

[chrome bear]

ok

I want something better than this at the price of about 600. such be one of curb

I have an idea but I have read the reviews that have bad pixels or defects or have to change the resolution or something like that, I don't know which one to decide on

I like some of the curbs

[silent epoch]

Curved displays. Hmmm

[chrome bear]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824026345?Item=N82E16824026345

You're just gaming right?

For any productivity work that requires color accuracy, I wouldnt touch it

Hertz doesn't tell the whole story on how well a screen will function

Seems alright

But the screen I recommended is better over all

[chrome bear]

no, I'm not playing, I just want to know if this monitor is good, sorry for the inconvenience,I'm not sure what I want to spend, I have to spend 600, and I just want something better,

This might be the one you want.

The viewing angles and tilt adjustment are the biggest downsides

[chrome bear]

ok i see and is more les on money

[silent epoch]

Yep. Right in your price range

But like I said. It's a VA panel, the colors you see aren't very accurate

But it still creates a great image

Also it's best to use a DP on this one

[chrome bear]

ok

[silent epoch]

Motion handling ...isn't the best

Expect to see smearing

[chrome bear]

I read the reviews and that's why I'm here, this monitor doesn't have a good review, that's why I'm here, I don't know which one to choose.?

You say that this one is better, and it costs less than the other one, the difference in money is due to something./The viewing angles and tilt adjustment are the biggest downsides

[silent epoch]

The Samsung monitor that I recommended earlier, should be your best choice. It won't have the same amount of smearing and the pixel response time issues. You're not going to benefit from 165hz, 144hz is enough for most people. Ultra-wides are expensive , if you really want the ideal 165hz monitor, it would be time to look beyond the 600 dollars range

Hands down....My top pick

Nothing compares at the price point that you recommended

You can't have everything /:

This is an IPS panel. It's superior to VA

You have better colors , better viewing angles, less input latency, faster pixel response times, and just an overall better image.

The only major downside are how blacks appear.

But that trade off is worth it......

[chrome bear]

how is that about the blacks that appear

[silent epoch]

Blacks are just blacker on VA

[misty gyro]

The technical term being VA has better contrast ratio

[silent epoch]

*darker

[silent epoch]

Had to downplay on words a bit

Just in case

It's more understandable anyways...

[misty gyro]

What's going on in that head of yours, fal

[misty gyro]

That's the only main advantage of VA over IPS. I got a VA curved and I regret it. Should have paid $30 more for IPS.

[silent epoch]

Mmmhhmm

@chrome bear gigabyte M34WQ..wink wink

👀

Curved screens are just a gimmick

It's not going to give you a competition advantage on an already two dimensional screen

[chrome bear]

you guys just confuse me LoL

[silent epoch]

Hmm...

[chrome bear]

VAis more vetter the ips/

[silent epoch]

IPS

Better picture and more responsive

That's all you need to know

[chrome bear]

ok.t\y

[silent epoch]

VA is just cheaper with better contrast.

Well hope that helped

[chrome bear]

ok I'm going for gigabyte, although it's not curved but it's better, I decide it doesn't matter if it's not 165, there's no difference in a 144gz.

[silent epoch]

Barely any

It's not worth it

you could always go for the 274 or 277 too

[severe dirge]

This is a great monitor. If he doesn't need the KVM feature then I'd save a good bit and go with a X27Q instead. It's same performance as the G27Q which I would recommend over the M27Q just because it's cheaper and has no KVM, except the X27Q is 165hz over the G27Q 144hz.

Oh thank you!! That is way more affordable! Just making sure, is this the correct one? https://a.co/d/4jAscXT This seems right but I'm always worried with Amazon listings especially with stuff like this.

[severe dirge]

yes

[old apex]

Much appreciated! 😁

My Vizio M50-C1 just died on us today and we're pretty sad after having it for 6 years.

It's time to upgrade to a 65"er, but with a budget $500-$800. I'm looking for:
QLED/MiniLED or comparable (LG NANO)
bright, vibrant, with barely noticeable vignette.
120hz for PS5.
Dolby Vision (kinda standard now isn't it?)

Audio doesn't matter to me since I use a soundbar. So far my list is: Hisense 65U6H, Vizio M6, TCL Class-6 Series, LG NANO75.

Thanks for taking your time.

[misty gyro]

I own this one personally, it's been great overall. The price on clearance now (since it's technically an older model) is perfect at $700.

I only have some minor issues with rapid movement in shows having some upscaling blur but that's not a unique problem to this TV.

[small warren]

@misty gyro qeld squad

Qled squad DAMMIT

💀

[misty gyro]

You qeld the moment

In all seriousness though, that TV is one of the few large purchases I've made that I have zero regrets about

[small warren]

Qled is so good tho

[misty gyro]

(the 480p issue never happened to me using a Wii so maybe that was fixed, and the app crashing issues are as fully resolved as a smart TV gets)

[misty gyro]

Real HDR too which so many other panel types struggle with, 1000 nits peak

[small warren]

YES

IT'S SO BRIGHT AND VIVID

No true blacks but honestly who cares when you're close enough

[misty gyro]

OLED is good for color and contrast but QLED is where it's at for brightness and not worrying about burn in

[small warren]

Yes yes yes

[misty gyro]

Like this right here? Good luck on anything else. That's the entire screen pure white.

[small warren]

Qled, neo qled, and qd oled

Amoled honourary mention

[misty gyro]

Amoled is good for smartphones

[small warren]

Yes

[misty gyro]

Actually out of curiosity I checked the rtings table and that's the highest 100% window brightness out of any screen they've tested with the exception of the Samsung Terrace which has worse colors but also gets to 1800 nits 100%

Hisense U8H gets the honorable mention here getting almost 800 nits, which, shocker, is also a ULED

[odd quail]

I should be fine with NVIDIA Shield's upscaling AI thing.

[misty gyro]

It's only in apps like Netflix

Consoles are fine

[odd quail]

What do you think about an Open-Box item from Best Buy? lol

That's what its currently priced as

[misty gyro]

Open box is fine as long as it has the remote but it does show that it'll ship to a store for pickup for me

[silent epoch]

Hm

[tribal citrus]

What is this

[misty gyro]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-65-class-6-series-mini-led-qled-4k-uhd-smart-google-tv/6470277.p?skuId=6470277
It's the TV I own. I recommended it above, it's great.

[tribal citrus]

[misty gyro]

I bought it when it was still $1k but it was worth it even then

Which is weird coming from me because I'm a bargain hunter

[tribal citrus]

I was thinking about buying TV but i use computer to watch videos

[kindred umbra]

class 6 is really good

i tried it for a while, but considering i sell oleds/high end mini led tvs all the time i couldnt cope lol

[odd quail]

@misty gyro gawwwdddamnnn this is bright! 🤣 Forget sleeping! Lol

[fallow raven]

Is it worth getting a QLED/OLED 2k Monitor?

[fading wyvern]

It’ll look amazing. Is it worth it? Probably not. Still the tech has best in class response time and amazing clarity. The price is hard to justify when you can get a excellent ips display for 75% less. I want one anyways though

[misty gyro]

Depends how much money you have. An OLED will cost a lot more money and you'll have to replace it after a couple years from the burn in. So you can spend $250-400 and get a good/great IPS monitor that will last 5+ years or you can spend $1200 and get an OLED that will last 2.

[silent epoch]

Hmmm

They seem better than older OLEDs tho when it comes to burn in

As long as you vary your use you shouldn't really experience it

[misty gyro]

There's a few tricks to extend the life like hiding the task bar and sleeping the screen after 5 minutes yeah but you don't have to do that on other things

I'm basing the 2 years off the warranty length mostly. And the warranty doesn't cover burn in.

[silent epoch]

It's a very risky investment. They need to find an alternative to organic material use

[kindred umbra]

If you do get OLED, find a retailer that offers a good protection plan

[untold forge]

my monitor has an option for Variable OD, what is it and what does it do?? It has 5 levels.

I don’t notice any true differences when changing each level

[fallow raven]

Isn’t QLED a bit better when it comes to burn in?

Or are they the same thing 😅

If I was to get an OLED / QLED which one is recommended? (For 1440p gaming)

[misty gyro]

Yes QLED has no burn in because it is a different technology completely. "Quantum" LED instead of "Organic". The burn in happens because of the organic material used.
OLED is overpriced but you can't match the speed and accuracy with anything else. QLED is still very good for half the price.

[kindred umbra]

OLED also doesn't really give you good sdr gameplay due to the limitations of OLED

Qd OLED helps but mini led would be the best option

[cold raft]

all my monitors are different but their the same size but thats not reflected on the control panel

https://i.imgur.com/HuPhzTE.png

[misty gyro]

It looks like #2 is a higher resolution, meaning a higher screen space even if it's the same size physically

[cold raft]

yeh i see that now lol

anyway take make the transition be a lot more seamless?

[misty gyro]

What GPU do you have

[cold raft]

gtx 1080

[misty gyro]

Ah dang it's too old for DSR I think, let me double check

Oh wait it does

So what that can be used for is setting the other 2 monitors with lower resolution to a higher resolution, which is then scaled back down to the normal one

Then it should in theory see them all as the same screen space

[cold raft]

how would i do that?

https://i.imgur.com/aQFY6vn.png

[misty gyro]

Are your monitors set as 1080p, 1440p, and 1080p (in that order)?

[cold raft]

yh

[misty gyro]

Ok one sec I'll calculate the DSR factor you need

Actually let nvidia do that

Head here

[cold raft]

.ready

[misty gyro]

I think it should be one of the DL scaling ones so tick any of those and apply the window

Then go into the screen resolution section and at the top you'll see dynamic super resolution options

Set your 1080p monitors to 1440p using that

That way Windows thinks they're all the same size and screen space and it should line up

[cold raft]

which one https://i.imgur.com/cECa5lH.png

[misty gyro]

1080p 2650x1440 (1.78x)

Third one

[cold raft]

it worked lol ty

[misty gyro]

Awesome. Happy to help.

[odd quail]

@misty gyro my software on the new TV is bugged. Lol brightness slider doesn't work/change anything

[misty gyro]

Updated it to the latest version?
Probably need to change the display mode to power saving or something, that should do it too.

[maiden wedge]

im about to order the Acer Nitro XV271 Z 27” is this freesync monitor compatible with my nvidia graphics card?

[silent epoch]

Ofc

[thick kraken]

What monitor would go good with this build? Like the hz and resolution?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hMYWhk

[small warren]

this

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zzVmP6/gigabyte-g24f-2-238-1920-x-1080-180-hz-monitor-g24f-2

[quartz sandal]

Btw don't get the GX2 power supply , the bm2 is cheaper and a little bit better

[thick kraken]

Is the bm2 by Thermaltake?

[errant edge]

Yes

[thick kraken]

It shows the bm2 and the gx2 are the same price

What’s the difference between the two?

But I’ve updated my parts list from the gx2 to the bm2 thank you for the suggestion

[quartz sandal]

Bm2 650w is 5$ less and it's just a better unit

Power supplies aren't exactly simple so i myself don't know the specifics between the two but bm2 performs better in reviews

[thick kraken]

Sweet thank you for the suggestion

[quartz sandal]

Np

[median anvil]

what determines maximum resolution and max number of monitors you can connect ? is it CPU, GPU, or both ?

i'm looking to purchase an old rx550...

it has DP, HDMI, DVI. does this mean it can support 3 monitors ?

[silent epoch]

The amount of ports you have on your GPU lol

I might be missing something

[misty gyro]

DVI can be split into two monitors

There's also displayport splitters

What determines the max is the GPU itself

RX 550 max resolution (combined across all displays) is 7680 x 4320, max number of displays should be 4 but there's conflicting answers there, it could be 3 or that could be them thinking the port count is the max.

[silent epoch]

🤔

[trim brook]

22-27inch 1080p
32 inch 1440p
More then 32inch is 4k territory

Is that a good metric to go by?

[kindred umbra]

27 can be both 1080p or 1440p depending on the user but it leans more towards to 1440p

32 is 50/50 imo for 1440p/4k

[misty gyro]

Personally I'd only do 1080p 27" as a last resort if I can't get 1440p

It comes down to viewing distance for individuals though

If you sit close you'll notice a lower resolution a lot more

[silent epoch]

1080p bad

[silent epoch]

Never go 27 inch

[trim brook]

Yeah I was trialling various different monitor and 27inch seemed highest sizs 1080p seems usable in

[hexed bramble]

Can someone help me find a good monitor!? I've got a 6700 xt and I don't know what to get or what to look for

https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16824475279?source=f

How's that?

I feel like 1440 would be good but I'm not sure

[misty gyro]

You're looking around that 350 cad price range?

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08FXZVJH6
This one is IPS which is better than a VA panel in nearly every way

[hexed bramble]

Pixio hmm never heard

It seems good! I'll look more into it when I get the time

[hexed bramble]

Yea about but I'm honestly looking for something that can be used for a while so like better build quality

[misty gyro]

Here's a review from a reliable site https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/pixio/px7-prime

[hexed bramble]

hmm thats honestly a great site even though i dont understand half the things but it seems pretty good! the only downside is that its wobbly do you know how i could fix that if i get it?

you think if i wall mount it that would fit it?

actually i don't think im allowed to make holes in my wall lool

[misty gyro]

There's vesa mounts you can clamp to your desk

[hexed bramble]

like it comes with the monitor or is it separate?

[misty gyro]

You'd buy it separate

[hexed bramble]

would you think this would work? https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/single-lcd-computer-monitor-desk-mount-stand-bracket-adjustable-monitor-arm-fit-for-13-27-monitor/14205750?cmp=seo-14205750

acually it seems really bulky

[severe dirge]

Huanuo makes some good monitor vesa mounts for good price.

I'd cross reference prices between Newegg and Amazon.

[hexed bramble]

ic yea the monitor and the mount are adding up in price lool i might need to buy them at separate times

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08FB7WFCT?pd_rd_i=B08FB7WFCT&pf_rd_p=f6bdd6c0-23bc-4750-82f8-87eefeb4cb4e&pf_rd_r=YQZJN7Y33E1FNQM3R7KT&pd_rd_wg=R8552&pd_rd_w=rM9J3&pd_rd_r=e1fb5c7e-489b-4333-8af8-9a65d209db8d this also seems good

[severe dirge]

Yeah, can always get the mount at a later time. That's what I did.

I'd also honestly go for a 2 arm mount since it's only a little more and you have the option of adding another monitor in the future without having to spend a whole lot more on another mount.

[hexed bramble]

yea but wouldn't it look really ugly to have a random arm sticking out? or could you detach it ?

also what do you think about the monitor fal'cie recommended to me?

[hexed bramble]

This is how my setup looks right now and the monitor is 27" so I don't think I can fit another monitor. I wish I could tho

2 monitors like the sweet spot one for my notes and another main one for work or like one for YouTube and one for gaming

[severe dirge]

The good ones have arms you can leave off.

Not sure which monitor he recced, but if falcie recced one, then it's good.

[severe dirge]

With a vesa arm mount you could easily fit 2 monitors there. You could even have 1 in portrait mode which is perfect for things like internet browser, discord and such where you would be constantly scrolling to see the next bit of info.

This kinda shows what you can do with a portrait monitor.

[hexed bramble]

the monitor i have currently is not adjustable and i cant afford two brand now monitors currently

but if i do go with that monitor ill definitely get one with the option of having two monitors for future expansions

im also gonna go check out some shops and see what they have on display

[severe dirge]

Huanuo makes a vesa adapter.

[hexed bramble]

Wtf lmao

[errant flax]

Needs more screen real estate.

xD.

Out of curiosity, if you guys had access to as many monitors as you wanted, how many monitors would you actually be able to make use of on a daily basis? For me it's 5.

[hexed bramble]

3

One for my actual game 1 for Spotify and discord and another for youtube

[misty gyro]

I also would probably only use 3

[errant flax]

For me it'd be,

• 2 for work and games
• 1 for discord and Deezer
• 1 for checking in on renders, recordings, and news
• 1 for live tracking on stocks and crypto

6 if you count a small thermals monitor inside the PC.

[severe dirge]

I technically have 5 with my sensor panel in my pc. Ideally, I would like to have 5 monitors on my desk with the 6th as my sensor panel.

I do have my laptop setup on my left though with a keeb/mouse.

[errant flax]

I see.

My only issue is having 5-6 monitors is to rich for my blood ATM.

So I am currently using 2 with a drawing tablet acting as my 2nd one when I am not drawing.

[severe dirge]

that VA ghosting with blacks/reds is killer, yet I still find myself gaming on it instead of my IPS lol

[silent epoch]

🤨

[severe dirge]

tbh, I "was" content with the g32qc and g27q.. but I was perusing walmart one day and they had my hp 27" 1080p on sale for $20.. couldn't pass it up. Then last summer the x27q was on that super sale and I just couldn't pass that up either LOL

[severe dirge]

idk.. I can still game. It still looks good, it's just in some game scenes, you can tell the red ghosting pretty hard.

[errant flax]

Tbh I'd of done the same.

20$ is a steal.

[small warren]

2 seems to be the most functional for me but it depends on the kind of work you do

Like programmers love screen real estate as much as possible

[hexed bramble]

That's a really good question tho lol

[small warren]

I like having a really large screen then a secondary for discord or temps while games

But I mainly use 1 or 2 these days cos a huge ass screen is as good as 3 regular ones

[errant flax]

Programmar, and 3D purposes.

Like when I am doing World Painter I'd use 1 screen for the 2D view and the other for the 3D rendered view.

[small warren]

Yeah for modelling I like having ample room for my design and then references on the other 3 corners

Then maybe even my second screen for more chrome tabs or email or discord

Big screen very useful

It's really like working with 4 smaller screens all in one

[errant flax]

Ngl, I kinda like the concept of the Corsair Flex Monitor for the ability to do curved during games and flat for when I am drawing or other tasks.

[small warren]

Idk

G9 or FV43U or C2/C3

That's as high as I'd go (high asf tbh)

Would avoid oled like the plague tho if it was for work

[errant flax]

The price point makes it a a definite no no for me though.

[small warren]

Even if they're a lot better for burn-in these days you'll still have wear when you're working on a static desktop

[errant flax]

That's still an issue?

I thought QD-Oled fixed that.

[small warren]

Qd oled is a different tech

[errant flax]

Similar color and avoids the issues right?

[small warren]

Oled has an inherent issue where it uses natural luminescence with a limited life

Think of burning candles

[errant flax]

I see.

[small warren]

You can improve it but only by so much

[errant flax]

So Oled no matter the type isn't really suited for work unless you''re willing to replace it every time you get burn in?

[small warren]

Like don't get me wrong it's in all likeliness way better than it was but when you're working with documents on the screen, multiple blank windows, white pages and all that

Stuff like pixel shift isn't as helpful

[errant flax]

Mhmm.

[small warren]

I like QLED cos it gives you basically a near OLED experience without any of the wear issues

[errant flax]

Oh it fixes that issue?

[small warren]

Well qled is completely different

It uses an LED array instead

[errant flax]

Is Qled different then QD-Oled?

[errant flax]

oh.

[small warren]

QD oled different again

QD OLED is very much on that side of better wear in as well but they don't have the conventional sizes yet

[errant flax]

Brain confused.

[errant flax]

So it works, just it doesn't have small form factor?

[small warren]

Well qd oled only really comes in big tv's or ultrawides rn

Conventional like, 27", 32" etc

[errant flax]

What is it like to use a ultra-wide?

[small warren]

Some things it's great

Panoramic gaming? Amazing

[errant flax]

I've seen them but never tried them.

[small warren]

For content creation it sucks horribly

[errant flax]

Really?

[small warren]

And price is hard to justify on a lot

Yes cos your aspect ratio is screwed up

You can't just native capture 16:9 you have to edit it

Or change the screen to run that

[small warren]

And this as well when there are big screens that can come in at a similar price with more physical screen real estate top and bottom instead of stretched

[errant flax]

So if someone does a lot of content creation they'd need a 16:9 screen as well preferably?

[small warren]

They'd want it yes

Some screens like the G9 have PBP which let you run it half and half

So 16:9

[errant flax]

My ideal layout would look like this.

left, right, middle, top, and bottom.

Side monitors would be in portrait mode.

[small warren]

Eh just get one big screen

You'd need 2 gpus for that

[errant flax]

😄

[small warren]

Or igpu and main

[errant flax]

I have 1 gpu currently and working on saving up for 4090.

Which would solve that.

[small warren]

Yesh but your psu?

[errant flax]

Looking into the HX1500I

found one for a decent price.

[small warren]

Really overkill

But ok

[errant flax]

better then not enough though agreed?

[small warren]

Ye

You could do it with a 1200W spec too

That's more than enough + extra

Idk this is the sort of process I evolved from

I was on 2 screens, then 3, then 4

[errant flax]

The good 1200 watt psus I can find are like only $50 less then the HX1500I

[small warren]

Now I'm on 2 again

[errant flax]

So I honestly wouldn't mind paying a bit more for the extra juice and just to know I'll always have enough extra power to spare.

[small warren]

The cabling, mounting, power, cable managing on that many screens is just annoying imo

[errant flax]

Lmao, I can relate.

[small warren]

I'm honestly glad I left it behind

Much easier with 2

1 big + 1 normal

Same result less nonsense

[errant flax]

I have lots of peripherals, xbox, 1 monitor + the drawing tablet which has 4 cables coming out of it.

I have all my USB slots on my PC occupied.

[small warren]

That too
