[small warren]

You get all the usb as well which is a right pain

[errant flax]

ooof

[small warren]

Just get a hub and be done with it

[errant flax]

I can feel your pain.

[misty gyro]

DP spec include daisy chaining so that's less cables at least

[small warren]

It's just throwing all this spaghetti at the problem after a while

[small warren]

At full hz tho?

I was unhinged man

Early days of me seeking the high end

[misty gyro]

Yeah as long as the total bandwidth doesn't exceed the cap

[small warren]

That's what I mean

[misty gyro]

So you can't expect to run 4k144hz x3 but there's still a lot of wiggle room in the spec

[small warren]

I had a literal trunk to the back of my pc

I still have a good vine's worth now but nothing like before

When you can cut the cable crap down to like a 1/4 of what it was that alone is worth doing imo lol

With no loss in function

[misty gyro]

That's why I just do a little RGB as I can

[small warren]

It wasn't even the rgb

That was it's own issue

[misty gyro]

Yeah just saying, similar problems there lol

[small warren]

Yeah I get that, I am all the same now too

I'm less about "more number more flair more better" now I'm just after functionally good lol

Several high end screens in surround was a horrible pain to work with too

I have the same real estate on one screen instead and one plug and no nvidia or amd driver bs plaguing me any time I turn the pc on LMAO

I don't miss ddu'ing my nvidia drivers every other day

[misty gyro]

Yeah I hate the dual screen bugs on nvidia

[small warren]

Yes they're annoying as crap

[misty gyro]

Mixed refresh rates especially

[small warren]

Yessss

It's fine if you have matching rates but some screens are just disgusting to get it to work

Like one will appear but never the other and always the middle

Or left and right but no middle

Multi screen is fun but just get a big screen instead

None of the horrible headaches

[misty gyro]

Nah gotta have a second GPU to power the secondary and tertiary monitor

iGPU ftw

[small warren]

I mean igpu or something like that is fine really

My new board has an igpu port for the KS, I guess I can finally use it

[chrome bear]

I want to change my monitor for this one that you recommend----https://www.newegg.com/black-asus-rog-swift-pg43uq-43/p/N82E16824281034?Item=9SIA4P0HXM7454

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012043?Item=N82E16824012043-----order this and I have a guarantee to change, for another

want a slightly larger screen, I want to know if this is good.

[severe dirge]

I'm curious. I don't seem to have any issues with my screens. Maybe I do have them, but I haven't noticed any.

[small warren]

PG42UQ is the good big asus

@chrome bear

for that budget and size tho

do this

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824716002?Description=fv43u&cm_re=fv43u-_-24-716-002-_-Product

much better than the older XG43UQ and PG43UQ

those had some bad rtings reviews iirc

the 42uq is a C1 OLED and actually good

or C2, one or the other, both are good really

[chrome bear]

I thought about the Auros.

[misty gyro]

You probably have 2 minor ones that are hard to notice without looking for them.
Memory will be constantly at max speed and not allowed to clock down for power saving.
Idle power usage is usually roughly doubled.

[small warren]

the aorus is good

it's a samsung qled rebranded as a gigabyte with a kvm

so no burn in and oled-like colour and brightness

if not better brightness tbh

[chrome bear]

ok,You recommend it to me, for the price it is better,

[small warren]

I have 2 and I have a few friends who also have one, it's a loved monitor...lol

[severe dirge]

I did notice mem usage at max speed, but I figured that was normal.

[small warren]

@onyx moat also owns an FV43U and he likes it

[misty gyro]

That's a bug that only occurs with multi monitor usage. It doesn't really hurt anything but it can be annoying in very specific cases.

[severe dirge]

So far it looks like my idle wattage is 120w +/-

[small warren]

what's the hz of each screen reo?

[severe dirge]

ah I see. I wonder what it's affected for me if anything.

[misty gyro]

Yeah that's pretty high if that's only the gpu

[severe dirge]

165/165/175/60/75

[small warren]

all qhd?

[severe dirge]

it is a 450w card though

[misty gyro]

60-70W idle is normal on a 3090

[severe dirge]

1 is fhd

[chrome bear]

ok,and I also want to use it to watch videos on you tube, yes, I can see it on the entire screen, since the one I have only appears on a medium screen, the entire monitor does not fill up when I watch videos on YouTube.

[severe dirge]

oh gotcha ok.

[small warren]

you can happily watch youtube with it full screen

no problem

I do that a lot tbh, 4k youtube stonks

[small warren]

damn that's not bad actually

basically 3 running at decent bandwidth

[misty gyro]

You've been lucky to not encounter the mixed refresh rate bug that flickers the screens then

[small warren]

that happens on both amd and nvidia btw

[misty gyro]

I'm aware

[chrome bear]

ok,

[small warren]

ah

[misty gyro]

A bug is a bug even if it's on multiple different brands

[small warren]

hell it can even happen on surround at matching hz

[chrome bear]

so you recomend Auros,to schange i know have to pay more bt i want meke sure i take a good decision,.

[misty gyro]

Yep. Super annoying if you're affected.

[small warren]

just be playing a game and suddenly the right screen is flickering

[small warren]

I really love the screen, but you can ask elsewhere if you're not sure

gigabyte monitors are generally pretty good as of late

[severe dirge]

hm. There was a period of time when I only had 3 monitors that I had an issue when I turned my pc on, the screens would flicker to black and back again quickly for a few seconds, but after I got my 4th monitor and reinstalled drivers it all went away.. that was back in julyish of last year.

[misty gyro]

I got unlucky and both my 2070 and current 3080 ti get that pretty badly. The secondary will flicker and go out long enough to detect as disconnected, making the main one flicker

[small warren]

OH I HATE THAT

AND THEN IT DOESN'T STOP

fal

my fruend

[misty gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/get-well-get-well-gif-13393267

[small warren]

the xtx will rarely flicker BUT

if I change screen layout it doesn't stay off for long

It's instant

it'll run the reso and hz or straight up instant bounce

[misty gyro]

I was thinking about trying to do DSR for the desktop resolution on the secondary so the resolution is the same at least, even if the second is only 60Hz

[small warren]

the flickering does happen because 144/144/120

[misty gyro]

Maybe it'll help? Who knows.

[small warren]

but very rare

maybe I should do 120/120/120

or upgrade the switch I have to support 144

[misty gyro]

Overclock the 120 and drop the other 2 to whatever it gets to

[small warren]

good idea tbh

138 here I come

[chrome bear]

ok thanks,going to change for Auros,simple to mwach videos in full screen ,not midium,and play gamaes.

[small warren]

what gpu btw @chrome bear

or is this like a console?

[chrome bear]

3060ti

[small warren]

eh ah

actually I change my mind based on that

you'd really struggle running 4k with a 3060 ti

you could use it sure, 4k videos? no problem

[chrome bear]

ok.

[small warren]

4k games?

I'd do at most a hp x27Q

[misty gyro]

DLSS performance moment

[small warren]

https://www.amazon.com/HP-27-inch-Adjustment-FreeSync-Technology/dp/B0949KL83T/ref=asc_df_B0949KL83T/

grab this one @chrome bear

[chrome bear]

bt i want big like 43,on Auros

[small warren]

the games will look kinda gross on a big screen when it's not 4k

and 4k is just not easy to run on a 3060ti

older games yeah? but anything in the last like, 4 years nah

I mean your call at the end of the day but I would suggest either a lower resolution screen or upgrading the pc to get to the monitor size

[chrome bear]

the ,GPU

[small warren]

what psu what ram what cpu do you have

[chrome bear]

but I can run games since not all of them are in 4k, for now, but I can see videos on you tube as I want them to look,

[small warren]

ye but the games will look kinda gross in not 4k on these big screens

upgrading might need more than just the gpu too

[chrome bear]

ok I'll keep that in mind.

[small warren]

alr

[chrome bear]

if one of 43, that I can use with my gpu,

[small warren]

3060ti just isn't powerful enough to run a 4k high refresh screen

and you wouldn't do 43 inch at 1440p or 1080p

3060 ti is more like, just below 4k 30fps for games

again unless it's like a pretty old or even a pretty light game

[chrome bear]

So you tell me that I won't be able to use my 3060ti on this monitor.

[small warren]

won't

is the wrong word

or phrase

be able to use it well

is what I'm trying to say

[chrome bear]

Well, thanks for your time, what I understood with this gpu, I won't be able to play in 4k or watch videos in 4k, or I'm confused, sorry I don't have which one to decide./

[small warren]

you can watch videos in 4k but not really play games in 4k

it's ok btw this stuff isn't everyday knowledge

@chrome bear menos, 30, para juegos

Para YouTube 60, 120

[chrome bear]

144Hz 1ms but if in this resolution or 120, or 60 gz

[small warren]

in this resolution 30 for games

but 60 or 120 for youtube

need better gpu

4070 ti, 3090, 6900 XT, 6950 XT

6800 XT, 3080 Ti, 3080 12GB

[chrome bear]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012043?Item=N82E16824012043-----orderOr better I keep this monitor which is the one I have.

[small warren]

yeah

[chrome bear]

or 3070ti

[small warren]

3070 ti still not quite for 43 inch

still a little too slow

M34WQ is nice

I would keep it

considering you would need to upgrade the pc for 43 inch I would stay with m34wq

[chrome bear]

ok there is a way so that i can see the video of you tube that fills the whole screen

[small warren]

hm

[chrome bear]

there must be some solution

I want to like this upgrade,--https://www.newegg.com/asus-prime-z790-a-wifi/p/N82E16813119601?Item=N82E16813119601 and https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i7-12700k-core-i7-12th-gen/p/N82E16819118343?Item=N82E16819118343

[small warren]

try this?https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ultrawide-video/lngfncacljheahfpahadgipefkbagpdl

[small warren]

this won't help with the 43" screen

unless your cpu is hella old

[chrome bear]

is not a good ub grade

[small warren]

can you tell me your whole pc specification

[chrome bear]

is old I'm upgrading little by little, AMD FX, DDR

[small warren]

ah

[small warren]

this good

but wait

I can help more

[chrome bear]

I know I have to upgrade with a better cpu and motherbord

[small warren]

and ram

[chrome bear]

ddr3 2133 16 gb

[small warren]

yeah

you need ddr4 or ddr5

[chrome bear]

Yes, I know, but you know money and effort

[small warren]

how much money do you have

[small warren]

also try this

for youtube

[chrome bear]

Well, I'll keep my monitor, I just want to watch videos on you tube in full screen, and play, you have a better video where I can adjust the screen that I have in full screen.

ok let me see

[small warren]

try that first

[chrome bear]

I press the keys and it doesn't work

[small warren]

hm sad

let me look again

[onyx moat]

true story. what? lol

[indigo berry]

I'm looking on upgrading my current LG 144hz TN monitor to one of the 5 from the list a made. They're all IPS because that's basically all I need, in the list there are all the main specs and prices (from amazon), I don't want to spend a lot and thats why I restricted the budget to 180 (& no more than 24.5"), i need help to choose the best one out of these considering more things like color blending, no ghosting effects, good contrasts,... So i'd like to get some help cuz I cant find many reviews online for some of these monitors. Thanks in advance.

Could also recommend different models and i'll check the price, but i just looked up and these monitors look to be the only ones within my budget

[silent epoch]

Make a MicroOLED gaming monitor already

It's the solution to OLED

@indigo berry out of the list, the HP x24ih is your best option. There has to be a better one out there. I'll look

@indigo berry better https://www.amazon.com/AOC-Frameless-Freesync-Adjustable-Guarantee/dp/B0875R9W6J/ref=sr_1_4?

buy it ASAP

BUT. the HP is a very good buy to

[indigo berry]

Eeeh... I have to see where it is available at good price because I'm in Italy and I'd prefer to buy from amazon.it or Germany/France/Spain but still I'd pay more for shippings

[silent epoch]

Ok. if you cant find it, go for the HP

[indigo berry]

Okk

[silent epoch]

but at all means, go for the AOC

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09L7FQ5RM?tag=rtings-mn-r-third-party-20&ie=UTF8

[indigo berry]

Many people reported really bad backlight bleeding on the hp, for me it was one of the last choices also for the io, I prefer 2hdmi and one display port

[silent epoch]

heres another one

[indigo berry]

I'll check them out in a few minutes

[silent epoch]

it is the most decent one out of your its, but its pretty meh

[indigo berry]

I know, I should be spending a bit more but I wanna find the cheapest and yet good monitor

Btw those prices are mainly the returned/used (like new) monitors, but Amazon describes all of them as perfect conditions...

Btw I went to a local store a few minutes ago and checked out a few IPS monitors and they have reasonable prices so I'll think about those ones too

[silent epoch]

Ok. The ones I linked are from my top trusted reviewers when it comes to the best budget 1080p 144hz screens. They're the best you can get for now.

[indigo berry]

Thanks man
Could you check out my question in #overclocking

[silent epoch]

I'm not the best when it comes to overclocking 😬

[indigo berry]

On amazon.it a new used one popped out for 150, I guess I'll be going with that, lemme see backlight bleeding problems if it has any

[indigo berry]

Ok, no problem
It's also something I should figure out by myself by doing a lot of testing

[silent epoch]

That all varies on the individual monitor. Quality control nowadays are not the best

[indigo berry]

Actually almost all the monitors I listed have some backlight bleeding but the ho one looks to be the worst... The aoc also has some. But I guess I could simply return it if it doesn't satisfy me. And that'd make the 3rd monitor I send back 💀

[indigo berry]

Everything over 220 on amazon.it for this monitor

[silent epoch]

Damn

[indigo berry]

I either wait, look at offers at local stores or check some on Amazon without backlight bleeding

Maybe something pops up, maybe some discounts or used ones from Amazon

[silent epoch]

There's almost no such thing as zero backlight bleed. The manufacturing process isn't perfect

[indigo berry]

When is it mostly noticeable?

Dark room with black screen?

[silent epoch]

You'll need for example an OLED to have none.

[indigo berry]

Oled is expensive

[silent epoch]

Dark rooms

Yeah, only then will there be no bleeding

[silent epoch]

Yep

[indigo berry]

Maybe blacklight may not be a major problem, I usually play with some light or with the sun directly facing my screen

[silent epoch]

In a well lit room its not as noticeable unless you're really looking for it

[indigo berry]

Cmon, i come from a TN panel that basically makes every colour look the opposite, I should just get one of the monitor and not complain about the backlight

I'll just look at some more reviews and some more monitors and make my choice

[silent epoch]

Ok. always try to post what you find before you purchase.

[indigo berry]

Ok, thanks for the help, I'll see if I have time tomorrow to search

[chrome bear]

i have 3060ti can i use this kind of monitor.-----AORUS FV43U 43" QLED UHD 4K 3840 x 2160 144Hz 1ms (MPRT) FreeSync Premium Pro, 1 x Display Port 1.4, 2 x HDMI 2.1, 2 x USB 3.0, KVM w/ USB Type-C Gaming Monitor

Not suggested, it can support 4k, the most a 3060ti can really handle is 1440p (in gaming)

[chrome bear]

One question, but I can lower the resolution and play in 1440 gz and get a good image, is that correct?—-The reason why I want this monitor is that I like the size of Forty Three fans I know that I won't be able to play in 4K but I can lower it to 14 40 GHz and I can have a good image I want to know that if I can have a good image please thank you

[small warren]

It won't be good image

It will do the opposite

[raw ingot]

^

running non native destroys clarity

[chrome bear]

so they do not recommend it to me since I will not be able to have a good image quality if it is lowered to 1440p can you recommend another monitor that is the same size one of 43

[small warren]

We don't have a 1440p 43 one to recommend

Max recommend 1440p 32 or 34 wide screen

[chrome bear]

It's that I ordered an Ultra Wideband but the screen seems very small. I think that if I order one of 32 it will be a little wider because I don't like the length, it looks as if I had two 27 monitors, I think that one of 32 in width the 34 would look a little bigger

[chrome bear]

[primal ivy]

Are there any good 1440p 140+ Hz monitors around $250? I'm currently planning to run a Gigabyte M27Q buy I saw some bad reviews on Amazon. I really like the look of Gigabyte monitors so if there are any good ones that would be preferred

[silent epoch]

What bad reviews did you see? If it's about dead pixels or light bleeding that's basically everyone.

[primal ivy]

Yea it was dead pixels and lines after less than a year of use

This looks really nice thank you 🙏

[silent epoch]

I see

[daring thicket]

For those of you who have used Gigabyte's M27Q, do you enjoy it? Is it good compared to other 1440p monitors? Any noticeable problems such as ghosting or bad backlight? How's the color? Was it worth? Rather ask someone firsthand than look at a review that could be biased online idk

Would probably get the 240hz if I did get it

[errant edge]

M27q is one of the best budget options for 1440p, the m27q-x is good, but unless you're either buying a 4080/7900xtx/4090, or are playing competitively for money in first person shooter games, id just go for m27q, m27q-p, m32q, x27q, x32, or g27q

[silent epoch]

the m27qx is my next monitor. I cant wait

overwatch is going to be breeze. (yeah right)

[surreal quarry]

I currently use M27Q and it's great! great colors, great response time, very good overall. There is a bit of glow towards the edges especially in darker scenes, so if u mostly play space games, I would not recommend it, other than that it's great!

[kindred umbra]

Are there any leaks for a qd oled 27in

don't really wanna make the jump to ultra wide to get it

[trim brook]

https://youtu.be/GOoVKyXHwZ8

Hmmm it's a 1440p monitor dk how 4k even came in the Equation

[dense shoal]

what monitors should I get

[daring thicket]

depends on your budget and your specs and what u want

[hexed bramble]

Yea check your graphics card

[surreal quarry]

budget, specs, desired resolution and frame rate, size, gaming? work? movies/tv?

[dense shoal]

gaming under 1k for both preferably I've got a rtx 4070ti. mid range nothing like crazy I want 2 monitors. it's for gaming

[small warren]

HP X27Q or HP X32

then some generic extra

or you could go up to some nice 1440p 240hz like an M27Q-X

[surreal quarry]

i'd say M27Q-X https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m27q-x

$430 on amazon and newegg right now

[stark plank]

i need monitor tech support asap

[fading wyvern]

[stark plank]

so my monitor takes a hella amount of time to turn on, then when it comes on after like idk 1-3 minutes, starts flickering for a little bit before it finally just stays on

its not my cable i ruled that out

[silent epoch]

M27Q-x is life

However there's a slightly better monitor

The MSI Optix MAG274QRX

It's almost impossible to find

[daring thicket]

what makes it slightly better

[silent epoch]

It handles lower frame rates better and has more display modes. It's slightly more expensive.

It's the better option.

Let's face it, a vast majority of games nowadays will not run at 240 fps. The games that will run on the lower end would be more suited to this monitor

It's available on Amazon

[dense shoal]

should I get 2?

[surreal quarry]

if u want two monitors than get 2.

[dense shoal]

ok lol

[surreal quarry]

If u only need one and have a 1k budget you can get a much better monitor

[dense shoal]

but budget for monitors is 1k so I think we good

[velvet viper]

Should I get a DVI to DP adapter or cable?

[misty gyro]

That's up to you. Just make sure it's a DVI-D port or DVI-I and not DVI-A.

[cinder sleet]

I have a Samsung RU7300F TV, when I turn it on, it shows me the Home Screen with the apps and after 5 seconds - it defaults to “no signal - check source”. I can’t access any other menu options.

Anyone have a solution to this?

I’m trying to just get it connected to Wi-Fi. But I can’t navigate away from that “no signal” screen

I connected an Ethernet cable, and it promos me if I would like to setup a wired network, but I can’t select “yes”

is there a way to maybe do a manual factory reset or something?

[mystic cobalt]

Hey guys, I am curious to see if I can find any good/cheap HDR 600 monitors (preferably 27 inch)

1080p is fine, just wanna focus display quality, not refresh or anything like that

I did just buy a new monitor, and it is shockingly good for the price, but I am interested in options up to $300

[trim brook]

Hdr 600 isn't true hdr experience tho

https://youtu.be/lrP3PqxnRKk

[tribal citrus]

Anyone have any tv recommendations

I would say nothing crazy just to watch shows maybe 60 and below

[misty gyro]

What's the budget?

[tribal citrus]

Idk ig below $500

I had a 55 inch 1080p a while back but I gave to sister

[mystic cobalt]

I am not after HDR. I am after 600 nits lol

IDC about HDR

if I wanna watch proper HDR, I'll do it on my phone. It will do it a hell of a lot better than any monitor I can dream of affording lol

[misty gyro]

Ok well "cheap" and "600 nits" don't go very well together

I'm not aware of any 1080p monitor that gets to 600 nits at all. I'm sure a couple exist but the cost of them will probably be more than a decent 1440p.

[misty gyro]

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/au8000
Every retailer has the 55 inch version at the $500 mark right now. Pick your favorite.

you might be able to snag an x80/85k too

[long tide]

whats a good price for 1440p 144hz US

[misty gyro]

Good ones start around $270, sometimes you can find them for less. HP X27Q goes on sale a lot for good prices.

[long tide]

is INNOCN a somewhat decent brand

[misty gyro]

Never heard of it so I'd be wary

[long tide]

KOORUI?

these are just the cheapest ones from amazon i see for about $170

[misty gyro]

They're cheap for a reason

Cheap ones often have pretty bad ghosting, colors, etc

Maybe even a TN panel which is ancient tech

[long tide]

looks better, idk what specs to look for in color

[misty gyro]

https://youtu.be/5r-BSA_nsU0

[long tide]

yeah nvm lol

what panel should i look for

[misty gyro]

IPS is better than VA in nearly every way

[long tide]

what about sRGB

[misty gyro]

That's only related to how the colors are displayed. 100% sRGB range is good but not a requirement.

[long tide]

whats ghosting

[misty gyro]

When you have a moving image on screen that appears blurred or as a faded image following it

[long tide]

so just factory motion blur

[misty gyro]

This would be an ok super basic monitor https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1650267-REG/viewsonic_vx2718_2kpc_mhd_27_wqhd_curved_gaming.html

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/viewsonic/vx2758-2kp-mhd

[fading wyvern]

It’s more prominent in VA panels

https://www.microcenter.com/product/663880/asus-swift-pg27aqdm-27-2k-qhd-(2560-x-1440)-240hz-gaming-monitor not sure if this is final pricing since all leaks hinted to a later release

but didnt expect em to match lg

[quartz sandal]

Probably asus usually dumb overpriced

M32u go brrr for 400$ less

[misty gyro]

M32U isn't OLED tho

[quartz sandal]

Oh oled

Price hurts my soul still

[small warren]

Imagine paying more than glorious 4k for your pleb oled

• moonwalks out the door with half the price 4k 144hz qled *

[trim brook]

The entire point was you can get oled which mortal gpus can drive

[trim brook]

Brightness is higher then lg?

[kindred umbra]

not sure, but it does have a heatsink so they might push for higher brightness

[misty gyro]

It doesn't have a fan does it

[kindred umbra]

dont think so

man only if qd oled wasnt limited to ultrawide only rn

[misty gyro]

It wouldn't be the first Asus monitor to have a fan

[kindred umbra]

to be fair there hasnt been that much info about the monitor yet

but i doubt itll have a fan

[misty gyro]

That MC listing doesn't say it has a fan but it does mention the large top vent (which will be a double edged sword)

[kindred umbra]

ye

acer is still planning on dropping their version later this year also

and dough, but i doubt thatll happen lol

[small warren]

Or you can get 95% of the experience for half the price with better brightness and colour.
Take your pick

You missed my entire point actually...lmao

[trim brook]

Anything but 4k lol

[small warren]

That screen isn't even proper hdr

[trim brook]

Buys 4k monitor with no feasible way to drive the thing lmao

[small warren]

If you're dropping 1K on a screen you can certainly afford a gpu to run 4K

You should try it sometime, I've had enough years of it myself

[trim brook]

Or you could actually get 240fps with 1440p

[small warren]

Why would I want 240fps tho

I downgraded from 1440p 240fps

Hell I could even go get a used G7 and be at half the price lololol

M27Q-X? Yes

[silent epoch]

Hmmm

[prisma patio]

Need a 1440p monitor

[surreal quarry]

Budget, country, size, any desired specs besides 1440p, use (gaming, office, movies etc?

[prisma patio]

Mostly gaming, wanna get something under 200 US, 27

[misty gyro]

$200 is a tough ask. It's mostly pretty bad units around that price.

[misty gyro]

Here's one. Sceptre monitors and TVs are known to have trash speakers so you'll need a headset or other speakers. The QC is also pretty bad apparently, some people have no issues and others say it's unusable.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095J68CKG

Actually here's what I recommend. This is probably an Amazon return and is held by Amazon Warehouse. Check the "save with used" section. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0949KL83T

[stark plank]

Yooo I just bought one from amazon but thanks for the help

But my MacBook situation right

Instead of manually installing, why not clone the drives, bc I don’t think there would be any activation restrictions, right?

[misty gyro]

I suggested cloning already

[stark plank]

Shi my bad

[misty gyro]

The OS is free because it's so old so no worries with activating

[stark plank]

The only thing is idk how to clone

[misty gyro]

Clonezilla

All you need is either a way to plug the Mac drive into another computer or a USB drive that can hold the drive image

[stark plank]

Is that on Windows or macOS

[misty gyro]

Neither, it's a USB bootable Linux environment

Or you could run it inside of Windows or MacOS with the right package

[stark plank]

So I need a linux machine to do the cloning??

[misty gyro]

No Linux runs off the USB

Linux doesn't care where you install it, so it runs perfectly fine off a USB drive

[stark plank]

OHH

wait so you want me to install Linux on the Mac

And use it to run Linux?

[misty gyro]

https://clonezilla.org/liveusb.php

It doesn't install linux on the Mac, only on the USB

[stark plank]

I will look at this while I’m on the toilet

[misty gyro]

It just uses the Linux, running off the USB, to copy the drive you want to copy

[stark plank]

Ahhh ok ok I get it now

This seems like a lengthy process but I will try my best

[misty gyro]

Creating the USB isn't long. Download the ISO file and a program to create it. Run the program. Done.

[stark plank]

Wait it’s an iso?

[misty gyro]

Yes

[stark plank]

Couldn’t I just use balena etcher to mount the iso to a flash

[misty gyro]

You could use balena

I prefer rufus

[stark plank]

Welp at least I’m not at a total loss for the MacBooks

I just have to clean them, get batteries, get keys, get hard drive mounts, and I can make make the MacBooks usable again

l was really giving the guy who sold me the MacBooks the talk to express my upset & frustration

[daring thicket]

going with m27qx, any objections?

any "wait hold on! get this instead!"ers?

[silent epoch]

I mean

@daring thicket MSI Optix MAG274QRX 27"

[daring thicket]

HMMM

[silent epoch]

Handles lower frame rates better

[daring thicket]

and how does it do that

[errant edge]

If you're dead set on 240hz, no

Otherwise, x27q, m27q-p, g27q

[daring thicket]

well its either 1440p 240, or 4k 144. I kinda prefer the higher framerate

[silent epoch]

1440p

The overdrive feature is better on the MSI

[errant edge]

What's the gpu?

[daring thicket]

4090

[errant edge]

Ah ok

[daring thicket]

running it with 1080p 165hz rn 💀

like what a waste fr

[errant edge]

Then 1440p 240 hz makes sense lol

I had a 6800xt paired with a 3600 on a 650w psu at 1080p lol

[daring thicket]

bruh

[daring thicket]

hmm

[errant edge]

Didn't have it for long tho, sold it for about what I paid not long after

Went back to my 3060 ti, which is already overkill for what I do

[daring thicket]

fair

what im thinking about rn is the fact that the msi one has 81 reviews and the gigabyte has like 4000

on amazon atleast

[errant edge]

The m27q-x is a great monitor, I can confirm that. I dont know enough about rhe msi one to give info on it

I almost bought an m27q-x for like $350 iirc, but order got canceled unfortunately

[daring thicket]

is 1440p a big diff from 1080?

[errant edge]

Though I got an x27q instead for $150

Yes

Going from my old VA 1080p 165hz to 1440p IPS 165hz is an insane difference

[daring thicket]

cant wait

[errant edge]

It was like going from minecraft on my old laptop to on my first desktop

Was so much easier to play and more enjoyable

[daring thicket]

I remember that feeling :D

[silent epoch]

According to hardware unboxed, it's it's the better of the two

But The overall experience is almost the same

You can't go wrong with either

[daring thicket]

its coming in a few days 👍

can't wait to see all the new pixels

[misty gyro]

Rather, you can't wait to not see the pixels. You have to get a lot closer to a 1440p panel to see them.

[untold forge]

So, I have an asus tuf gaming monitor, and I have two questions.
1 - what is the best way to clean it? I noticed that it’s like a different material than most TVs, it’s a matte feeling screen rather than a more glossy one. I always just sprayed windex on a paper towel or a microfiber cloth and wiped it down, but i wanna know if that’s safe or not.
2 - on that tangent, what is that matte material/feeling?

Sorry if these questions are stupid. I just wanna make sure I’m taking care of my expensive stuff properly.

(Please ping me if you reply)

[misty gyro]

1. That is the appropriate way to clean a screen. Never spray it directly. Ideally you'd use a better cleaner than Windex but it's fine.
2. There's different types of finish on different monitors that have different reflective and diffusion qualities. Glossy ones are good for color but bad for reflections in bright environments, while matte is good for the opposite in general.

[untold forge]

What good cleaners are there? I have this lens cleaner stuff (made for glasses but also screens and other items) that’s made of isopropyl alcohol and water. I haven’t used that since I don’t know if that’s sage on this type of screen.

If those aren’t good enough, what would you recommend?

[misty gyro]

That would be good. Isopropyl is very nice for electronics in general.

[raw ingot]

Don't use iso alc on matte screen tho

It can damage the coating

Lense cleaner is better for matte screens

[untold forge]

It’s like, 10% isopropyl alcohol I think.

Are there any 4k 240Hz+ QD-OLED monitors?

[wary wave]

does lg not have one?

[misty gyro]

Not at 240hz they don't

4k240 barely exists

[errant flax]

Ahh I see.

What about 1440p ones?

[misty gyro]

There's WQHD 3440 x 1440

[errant flax]

I've been competing in a lot of E-Sports lately so I am considering saving up for a high refresh rate monitor and considering OLED for nice colors.

[misty gyro]

https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-45gr95qe-b

Got $1700?

There's good 1440p 240hz ones that are at the $1000 price mark now

[errant flax]

Does that one suffer from burn in?

[misty gyro]

They all do

It's only a matter of time

[errant flax]

Oh, I thought QD-Oled fixed that?

[misty gyro]

Nope it just takes a little longer

[errant flax]

Ahh OLED probably isn't for me then. I almost always have really bright screens on for a long time and then switch to dark.

What's the next best option for color that doesn't suffer from Burn-In?

IPS?

[misty gyro]

Yeah IPS

Try the M32U

[errant flax]

Oof. But okay.

[small warren]

QLED also

[lethal musk]

Hey y’all! Really hoping I can get some guidance. So I recently got myself some new 1440p monitors. I’m new to this resolution, and I’m finding that when I run certain games in native red but Fullscreen mode, it’s locking my main monitor to half rate (120hz for me)
Now I really wouldn’t mind, but when I use windowed mode in games like apex, it’s not very smooth. But then windowed mode in Cyberpunk for example runs amazing.
I have CRU on my system but I’m not very savvy with it.
I haven’t been able to find a pinpoint answer/explanation online.
Both monitors are set to their native resolutions and refresh rates through windows and nvidia. I’m also using proper DP cables.

Native res*

Idk if it matters but they’re both LG Ultragear displays.

[errant edge]

What's the gpu? Could be running into it's resolution limit possibly

I'm not completely sure how UW affects that

[quartz sandal]

Uw deff has an effect for example 14400 ultrawide is a lot closer to 4k than 1440p, 1440 uw is just under 5 mil pixels, regular 1440 is 3.7 mil pixels

Pushing 5milx144/sec is gonna be harder than pushing 3.7x144/sec

[finite shadow]

Hello, I’m just wondering if a MiniDP output male to HDMI input female exist?

[indigo berry]

Yes they do, you can find those on amazon for cheap of newegg and AliExpress too

[maiden wedge]

I recently purchased a monitor for my pc from Newegg and I would like to use it remotely in an adjoining room downstairs along with my wireless mouse/keyboard. How to connect a monitor via Bluetooth/or wifi? Does Newegg sell a device for this sort of thing?

[visual pilot]

Using a monitor wirelessly is going to be very weird, it's a lot of bandwidth for wireless

[misty gyro]

Wireless HDMI setups start at $130 for the cheap ones, good ones are around $170. And you won't be able to get the full Hz on your monitor.

[maiden wedge]

OK good to know, thanks!

[lethal musk]

I was able to figure out the issue with native 1440p and not being able to use full refresh rate. For whatever reason even though I had it set to native 2k the games were defaulting to 4K. I had to use Custom Resolution Utility to go in and remove all of the TV resolutions, then restart my system and I’ve been able to run the affected games in full sceeen mode native 1440 with my full refresh rate.

I do have another question though.
My main display is a 27” OLED, and when I set everything up I read something from LG about downloading their calibration app?
I looked on the website but couldn’t find a download and I’m wondering if it’s worth doing.

I believe it’s for color

[maiden wedge]

is a viewsonic omni 1440p 144hz IPS panel 27” monitor good for $130

[errant edge]

Yes

There's definitely better monitors, but at that price it's near unbeatable

[maiden wedge]

alr thanks

[spring tapir]

Does anyone know where i can find a vesa mount adapter for my Odyssey G7

[quiet finch]

should I get 34" oled/qd-oled 3440x1440 hdr 400 or - 32" 4K HDR 2000 mini-led?
which provides a better picture quality?

[misty gyro]

OLED is always going to be best, unless it's a really bad model. QD-OLED isn't quite as good as true OLED but it's still quite excellent.
Additionally, there's no such thing as DisplayHDR 2000. Anyone advertising that is lying. Even if the panel could hit 2000 nits (extremely unlikely, I only know of one that gets to 1700) there's no content that would actually use it.

There are downsides to all OLED tech, mainly burn in that'll shorten the life span of the monitor. The "O" stands for Organic, and that organic material eventually discolors.

[kindred umbra]

mini led monitors tend to struggle with sdr and dimming zones too

[potent marsh]

Yo I need some good decent priced 245hz 1ms to .5 ms monitor recommendations. Anyone know of any?

[raw ingot]

1ms and .5 ms are purely marketing lies, it's not achievable on any real monitors lol

Unless it's oled, which is still hard to reach 1ms

What's your budget and res target?

[trim brook]

This thing never shifts its price

It's holding 280$ for a while now

I currently have a sceptre e225w 19203s LED monitor. The website specs states that it is an IPS panel. I have read that IPS panel is not exlusive to LCD type monitors. LED monitors can have IPS panel too. Can someone confirm this?

rtings be serious

[kindred umbra]

Not surprised since it’s on its first generation

[silent epoch]

True

[kindred umbra]

It’s a unfortunate that next gen qd oled tvs will use the connect box

Next gen high end *

I really hate that idea. For gaming there's going to be added latency and will the bandwidth be as high as a wired signal?

It's a very large gimmick that I hope doesn't last

3060 will not be a fun time at 4k

ok ok but if i can play games with a 4k monitor

but not in 4k the image and colors will be good.

because I already bought one, a samsung 32 of 165 gz but I don't like the colors,

[misty gyro]

Playing games at 1440p on a 4k monitor looks worse than native 1440p

[misty gyro]

BGR sub-pixels, it would take a bit of tuning to get it to look right but it's a good one

[misty gyro]

This one looks really good to me

[chrome bear]

the corsair.

[misty gyro]

Yes
The 165 variant got glowing reviews

The 240 appears to be new so I can't find any detailed reviews but it looks largely the same

[chrome bear]

[visual pilot]

Can you link review? Not seeing subpixel being bgr on fi32q-x being mentioned anywhere

[misty gyro]

Ah good call actually, the 27 inch is BGR but the 32 is RGB

[visual pilot]

Fi27q is rgb last I checked, is the fi27q-x bgr?

[misty gyro]

yes https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/aorus-fi27q-x

[chrome bear]

so you recomend Aurus 240 gz

[visual pilot]

Ah

Anyways G5 is VA so the colors would be worse than it would be on IPS panels

[misty gyro]

Yeah no surprise that you don't like the G5

[chrome bear]

nop

[misty gyro]

You're paying for the name, not the quality

I'd still go for the Corsair, it has better contrast which makes colors look better

[chrome bear]

lol i think,bt i go to retun and i going to buy the Auros 240 gz that you recomend .

ok Corsair,

bt i like the KVM the Auros ?

[misty gyro]

If that's a feature you need/want then do that

[visual pilot]

Both panels should be good, Corsair just happens to be cheaper right now

[chrome bear]

ok I understand, both are similar, I'll just have to decide which one, the Auros 240 gz, or corsair.

help, why decide.

Corsair. or Auros->?

ok thanks ,for you time guys.

Whats the best monitor i can get thats 240 hz, 27 in, and no more then 240$

So many options but i dont know whats best

[silent epoch]

1080p? Idk about 1440p

You'll possibly get a low quality model

If it even exists in the first place

[errant edge]

There was the Dell one on sale for $150, but oos

And not 27"

[misty gyro]

You won't get 240 Hz at that price for 1440p and I wouldn't do 27 inches at 1080p. The vast majority of people can't tell the difference between 165 and 240 Hz anyway.

there was also this for cheaper but the downside is VA

[quiet finch]

Why the samsung ark is more expensive than s95c 55 inch?

I have a (relatively) brand new monitor (HP X27q), and its been working fine, just wondering about a potential issue. So when I start up my monitor the HP logo appears, and then it'll start flickering until it finally fades to black like it normally should, is this indicative of an issue I should be worried about or
Rather nip it in the bud if it is, any help appreciated

[quartz sandal]

If it's just the logo being glitchy i wouldn't worry although very odd I've never heard of that before

[pine current]

Figured as much but like to make sure, thank you!

I feel like my expectations were too high for it

The only monitor/tv receivers you should trust:

anyone can recommend me a good 2k 144hz+ 1ms moniter (gtg)

[misty gyro]

What budget?

[primal rapids]

650 usd

[misty gyro]

1ms is just marketing btw, almost anything can hit it

[primal rapids]

i asked here before a year for a fhd moniter and most of you said msi g241

wanna upgrade to 2k

[misty gyro]

Well 650 is more of a 4k budget tbh

M27Q-X would be good though

[small warren]

ye m27q-x would be the splash

[primal rapids]

from hp?

[misty gyro]

No gigabyte

HP is the X27Q

could you send me a link just incase

i dont wanna rant

just out of curiosity is Samsung Odyssey G7 27" overrated?

i cant decide between m27qx and g7

[small warren]

Q-X is better

[primal rapids]

the thing is i kind want a curved screen

[small warren]

going QLED for a couple hundred more is just not worth

your pfp .

[trim brook]

3060ti running out of vram at 1080p was funny 😁

[primal rapids]

[small warren]

@primal rapids https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7LFbt6/viewsonic-xg2431-238-1920x1080-240-hz-monitor-xg2431

up there for the best high refresh screen

[primal rapids]

full fhd :o

[small warren]

ya cos 3060ti

[primal rapids]

eh

[small warren]

if you want 240hz that's a hard ask at 1440p

AAA you'd get 60fps in a best case scenario

[primal rapids]

i will upgrade my graphic card dw.

[small warren]

what psu and cpu do you have

[primal rapids]

I will upgrade everything each month for now i just want a moniter for not only gaming

[small warren]

not only for gaming? M27Q

[primal rapids]

dam xd

[small warren]

or QX

but not for that price

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VH8B1XW?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

from here

665 is horrible

get it with prime for 430

[primal rapids]

YEEE

[misty gyro]

Which G7, there's like 10 and some really suck

[small warren]

he means the curved QLED one

240hz

[primal rapids]

Samsung Odyssey 27 inch G7 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor (LC27G75TQSMXUE) - 1440p QHD 240Hz 1ms G sync QLED HDR600

freaking

those

code

names

ugh

[misty gyro]

yep lol

[small warren]

don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with the G7 but the m27QX exists for cheaper

so thus it's just, nah lol

[misty gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/faceroll-keyboard-cant-even-tech-support-gif-20234453

^how they make the names

[primal rapids]

Thank yall !

[small warren]

if you can get a G7 for sub 500 it's kinda ok

I still would jump on either of those M27Q-X links tho, 450 for the best overall 1440p screen? easy choice

[primal rapids]

[silent epoch]

It's a must buy

[daring thicket]

mine came with a singular stuck pixel

I never see it unless the entire screen is white though, and if I look for it

so no biggie

also since its 1440 its a pretty small pixel

[silent epoch]

Nice

Wait you have the m27x?@daring thicket

[daring thicket]

ye got couple weeks ago

[silent epoch]

How's the contrast?

How's the bleed?

[daring thicket]

uhh

[silent epoch]

Be honest with me

[daring thicket]

Honestly don't have much to compare it to

[silent epoch]

You have no other lcds in your house ?

[daring thicket]

Well I do but like

How do I explain how the contrast is in tangible terms

Its better than my other monitor that's all I know

[silent epoch]

Hmmmm

Motion clarity?

[daring thicket]

Uh

Very clear? 😭 Its 240hz so smooth af

M27qx btw

[silent epoch]

I see I see

I'm mostly worried about how grey the contrast is

[daring thicket]

I think its pretty good for the price

[silent epoch]

I REALLY want to get the LG 27gr95qe-b but...the brightness is a bit concerning

[daring thicket]

I've played completely dark games like Space Engine on it and it has good blacks

nothing compared to oled ofc but thats expected

[silent epoch]

Ok ok ok

[daring thicket]

I also want the LG

is that the 1440 oled one?

[silent epoch]

Yes

I'm dying to get it...

[daring thicket]

yeah it do be 1k tho

[silent epoch]

I'll pay monthly

Hmm....do you have any bleeding on the edges of your screen when it's entirely dark?

[daring thicket]

Nothing that I notice

[silent epoch]

Thats good

[daring thicket]

I'm also not extremely meticulous about that though, if I looked REALLY hard I might see something

[silent epoch]

I eyeball almost everything critically

[daring thicket]

How do u feel about stuck pixels

[silent epoch]

If it's just one it doesn't bother me

[daring thicket]

because judging from reviews and everything u have like a 40% of yours coming with one

I'm glad its only 1 though, any more and I would cry. especially with the "only 6+ can RMA"

which I think is pretty cringe

[silent epoch]

Thank you for the input. What was your previous monitor?

[daring thicket]

An MSI 1080 27" 165hz

When I got the m27q I realized how bad it was

prob just 1080 + 27" tho

Overall happy with the purchase, still want oled tho. Lol

[silent epoch]

Hhmm

@daring thicket one last question, how do games appear when they drop below 60fps?

[daring thicket]

asking the wrong person 💀4090 moment

I'm sure it would look about the same as other monitors dropping below 60 fps tho, idk

[silent epoch]

4090.... sheesh

[daring thicket]

yeah went all out with this one

[trim brook]

Could cap fps lol

[silent epoch]

Which 4090?@daring thicket

[daring thicket]

gigabyte

[silent epoch]

Nice. That's a great model

[daring thicket]

yeah I chose it cuz it had alot of positive reviews

[silent epoch]

No coil whine?

[daring thicket]

Very slight whine upon some specific watt usages, but really nothing to complain about

My 2070 super had way worse whine

[silent epoch]

Ah. My first GPU was a white gigabyte2070s. I missed that card

It's good to hear that you enjoy your current one

[daring thicket]

Yeah it was worth the questionable financial choices

[silent epoch]

Hehehehe

[daring thicket]

This was my first pc build, last one was a pre-built my dad got me from bestbuy like 3 years ago

[silent epoch]

Daym

Never again

Their builds aren't good

For the price

[daring thicket]

Very glad I built this one myself though, helped me understand what was actually going on in the system lol

[silent epoch]

Exactly

[daring thicket]

real

[silent epoch]

You can take apart the whole PC without any help now

[daring thicket]

indeed!

[silent epoch]

Do you play overwatch 2?

[daring thicket]

putting the motherboard into the case was quite nerve-wracking tho ngl

Nah I don't

[silent epoch]

Other competitive games?

[daring thicket]

Haven't been playing any comp fps games recently

[silent epoch]

How else are you going to take advantage of 240hz

Ah ok

[daring thicket]

I mean

its there for when I need it xd

war thunder 240hz is nice

[silent epoch]

Ooooh

Yeaaah

Nice

That 4090 is overkill

💀

[daring thicket]

Well

you never know what I might be doing in the future

and I was tired of not getting good fps in games lol

[silent epoch]

For warthunder ofc

[fading wyvern]

4090’s are never overkill

[silent epoch]

For warthunder, darvan

[daring thicket]

I'll say it is overkill for me, for now. But I'm ok with that

[fading wyvern]

Did I stutter

[silent epoch]

[daring thicket]

rather overkill than regular kill that will be underperforming in a year

yaknow

[silent epoch]

Nothing wrong in that. You're living the dream

I'm going to skip this generation for the 5090

[daring thicket]

fair

[fading wyvern]

Well the 4090 outperforms everything by a significant margin this gen anyways

[silent epoch]

For real

And he has dlss 3.0

[fading wyvern]

Not quite as crazy as the 1080ti performance

[daring thicket]

I'm also pretty newly employed for the first time so I thought why have a job if I can't get what I want lol

[silent epoch]

I'm unemployed. Congratulations

[daring thicket]

soon tm

[silent epoch]

Im looking

[daring thicket]

took me a while

[silent epoch]

How long?

[fading wyvern]

I’m going into my night shift job during the day right now

[daring thicket]

like 4 months, but then my mom's fiance just sent me a link to apply to Coca Cola lol

[silent epoch]

Hhhmmmm

It's been 6 for me

I need to continue my classes

[daring thicket]

well I was "looking" for like 2 years 💀 the 4 months is just when I actually started putting in resume's

[silent epoch]

Lmao

I've been trying for the last 3 lol

[daring thicket]

also on my 2nd "gap year" rn 💀

[silent epoch]

What CPU do you have paired up with?

[daring thicket]

13900k

[silent epoch]

No compromises... dang

[daring thicket]

I wish games used more of the cores tho 😭

[daring thicket]

SLIGHT compromise in the ram

went 5600 instead of 6400

😔

[silent epoch]

Low end drr5

Still better than most of us

[daring thicket]

I think people just spend too much on other stuff

like I literally just didn't buy anything for the 4 first months I had the job

that's the only reason I was able to afford it

[silent epoch]

Nice

[tawdry forge]

Hi just got a monitor witch is the msi optix g27c4e2 and i saw that when i put my response time to fastest (1ms) when im looking around in games the thinks around are getting crisps like i have sharpness on and if i leave it on fast or normal its has lots of ghosting does anyone knows the problem?

[trim brook]

What's the problem

JUst use the settings which you liked best 🤷‍♂️

[tawdry forge]

It looks pixelated like crazy

Cant really see the people when i play a competitive game

No settings done to it

[misty gyro]

The fastest overdrive modes in most monitors tend to be almost unusable thanks to that ghosting

You just have to find a mode you like

[tawdry forge]

Just gonna return the monitor

If nothing to do

[fading wyvern]

its also a 1080p 27inch monitor, gunna have some screen door

[trim brook]

Entirely different thing and topic lol

[fading wyvern]

How is it a different thing

It’s a issue with the monitor sure it’s personal preference and isn’t the topic at hand aka ghosting and overshoot errors

[tawdry forge]

I dont got any overdrive setting on my monitor

So it can help me reduce my ghosting and all of tht stuff

But yall saying is from the monitor and i cant do nothing abt it just play like that?

[fading wyvern]

I’d suggest returning it and looking for a ips panel, VA panels are notorious for ghosting. Contrast will probably be a bit worse but pixel response times will generally be better.

[tawdry forge]

I see

[fading wyvern]

If you’re specifically looking for a curved monitor it’ll most likely be a VA panel, ips panels are harder and more expensive to curve so you only really see it in LG ultrawides

[tawdry forge]

Im goign to get a benq zowie has 144hz

Tn panel

Its

Going*

Im getting it for csfo

Csgo

[fading wyvern]

So TN is generally the worst tech, but it has interesting features (just benq zowie) it has a excellent black frame insertion type tech that practically removes ghosting… but generally colors are bad on tn

[tawdry forge]

Mostly

I see..

[fading wyvern]

If it’s just for cs that’s a good use case

[tawdry forge]

I see bro

Thanks for help

Appreciate

[fading wyvern]

Np

[indigo berry]

Can someone help me figure out what all the letters and numbers mean in the various aoc monitor models? For example: AOC 24G2SPAE

[raw ingot]

24 means 24 inch

other letters and numbers behind that just denotes to region, model series or something like that

monitor names aren't clearly defined

[tawdry forge]

another problem i saw i habe

have

is black smearing

is there anyway i can remove that ?

[hollow nymph]

Va moment

(I have one too)

[tawdry forge]

so its just from the monitor

i cant remove it ?

when i scroll trough the texts it looks like i have sharpness on and black is coming out of it while i scroll

[raw ingot]

yeah nah

it's a monitor limitation

[tawdry forge]

so monitor issue

[mighty tide]

Looking into getting a 4k monitor-not really knowledgeable on monitors or displays at all besides IPS good high refresh rate good lol

Any good deals nowadays? Open to all suggestions and I'll likely only be using it for some games as I am more than happy at 1440P for others

[silent epoch]

Gigabyte M27Q-P

1440p

I think 170hz

*165

For 4K....M28U

If you want 1440p 240hz M27Q-X

[fading wyvern]

If you go 4k might as well go with the m32u

[fading wyvern]

Do you have the monitor set to 144hz in your display/graphics settings on your pc?

(It’s the panel limitation but it sounds pretty extreme so just checking)

[silent epoch]

[tawdry forge]

i have it to 165

i use dp

[fading wyvern]

alright was just making sure, it would be under "change resolution" on the left (quadrouple checking)

[tawdry forge]

aight

i saw that i dont have overdrive in settings and idk if i was supposed to do?

i heard that helps it

are led monitor good ?

[fading wyvern]

try to only pay attention to panel type. IPS>VA>TN (generally)

[tawdry forge]

not va

[fading wyvern]

and refresh rate for obvious reasons

[tawdry forge]

yeah

idk va its the most problematic iguess ?

[fading wyvern]

sorta, it just is prone to all kinds of smearing

[tawdry forge]

yeah...

what is smearing exactly

ghosting ?

[fading wyvern]

its ghosting and overshoot basically

[tawdry forge]

i see

[fading wyvern]

just used a different word for it

[tawdry forge]

can u give me a good monitor

i can get instead of this

for fps games

[fading wyvern]

i can give you a good resource, https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/best/by-resolution/1080p-full-hd

check out their budget reviews

[tawdry forge]

yk when it happens only

when i put my response time to 1ms fastest

when i puted on normal or fast it only has ghost

[fading wyvern]

Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx is the recommended budget option

[tawdry forge]

if i stay in place and i dont move the mouse

everything is fine

[fading wyvern]

[tawdry forge]

but when i jump and do all of the stuff

its start

idk abt monitors bro

:))

[fading wyvern]

yeah thats just pixel response times basically

[tawdry forge]

yeah...

pretty annoying

yo @fading wyvern i really appreciate ur help bro

thanks 🙂

:3

[fading wyvern]

charts like these will show any overshoot errors and response times

[tawdry forge]

hm i see

[fading wyvern]

this is your current monitor I believe

[tawdry forge]

yeah its shows that it got lots of red nr

and says that can have a problem with overshoot

BENQ Mobiuz EX2710S

I want to get this

What u saying?

[fading wyvern]

It’s not bad

But it’s really kinda mediocre, if you find a monitor you want look it up on rtings
