https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Stacked-Vertical-STAND-V002T/dp/B00DGTP57A/ref=pd_di_sccai_5 This should work if you can clamp to your desk.
They are capable of using dual 34" Ultrawides.
One reviewer had a 16lb monitor and a 15.5lb monitor on this mount without any issues.

Eh I think oled will catch on. Considering tons of phones, smart devices and TVs use it. The pixel response times are insane and it’s production cost seems to be trending down. You should check out some of rtings burn in tests.

Eh, I'd rather never have burn-in issues. IPS panels look perfectly fine, and I'd prefer my blacks to actually NOT be fully black when Gaming, because that makes things harder to see!

Oh I totally agree. Overtime though I’m sure variations of the tech will come out making darker grays more visible for gamers

So, little review of the Acer Nitro XV240Y.
Colors: Really solid! Looks gorgeous
Refresh Rate: Works fine out of the box at 165hz as advertised!
G-Sync Compatibility: Compatible, and works but....
Overdrive: sigh So close to perfect... At the "Normal" and "Extreme" Overdrive settings there are Coronas, and Freesync mode locks you into "Normal" Overdrive, meaning you are locked into either Coronas, or No G-Sync/Freesync. I don't know if this is explicitly my singular unit, or not.
Overall: Great monitor, just wish the Overdrive setting wasn't locked in when using Freesync/G-Sync so I could have the best of both worlds.

what do you guys think about the gigabyte G27Q because i just ordered it

It’s pretty alright, a ton of people in here think the m27q is a bit better. It’s usually the go-to 27inch 1440p display (I’m in the m27q camp)

M27q is better, but G27q is still good
warped night
Ok, addendum to my review on the XV240Y
HDR: I think I only have 2 games in my library that actually support HDR mode, but Monster Hunter World looks absolutely GORGEOUS with HDR Mode enabled. Dark areas look really dark, Colors are more vibrant, etc. Sure, the panel can't hit 1000 Nits Peak Britghtness, or even 300, but it still looks better.

If it has a good minimum brightness the contrast can still look nice

is there any way its hardware problem that my monitor basically crashes and glitches in all kinds of ways with freesync on but works pretty much fine with it off? i was trying to make sure the unit was good before my return window ends and all the problems stopped when i just gave up on freesync but idk if thats like something i should just give up so easily or if it could indicate something else or thats fairly normal. its a lg 32gk something or other .. 650f i think
slash is there any way non display problems ie not talking about dark light spots color off etc but more like big black lines flashing or the screen turning on and off, are monitor fault or basically always going to be driver, software or cables themselves? i got a refurb unit so im kind of trying to put it thru its paces to make sure its all good since it seems like more of a hassle to get service if theres a problem vs having a manuf warranty

I’ve had issues with a g sync/free sync monitor similarly to what you’re describing. In specific games the screen would abruptly turn black for a few seconds. The only way it seemed to work was with g sync off. It’s not exactly a answer but I couldn’t figure out the issue. Game was Modern warfare (the newer cod)
ebon zenith
yeah that sounds like it. the main thing was the screen blacking out every few seconds over and over, like it was having to pause to load every mouse movement except that often even being completely still the image never made it and it would just stay black for a long time. there were also weird issues where it would be slightly more stable with 60hz vs i think 75hz is the highest it can set to without freesync, which seems kinda off itself but shrug... so im locked to 75/100 hz and no sync tech and im like wondering if i should just accept that it wouldnt be better if it was a new unit or if theres any chance its a sign that the unit is defective in ways that potentially could expand and threaten what is under these currently limited conditions a very stable experience. i tried going thru newegg about this and their chat service was just aggravating and useless.. literally the company i gave 300 dollars to for a monitor told me to join a discord channel for feedback about my tech problem..

Ah yeah, there is a customer service account in the server NeweggService#3472 as a follow up what kinda graphics card are you using? Some monitors can’t handle g sync at lower frame rates without glitching out

I'd upgrade to the new panels if money is no object. The Mini LED displays are going to look SO much better.

I currently have a samsung-U28E510 (3840 x 2160) and thinking about getting a new monitor and using this one as a secondary.
I have a nvidia 1050ti and was wondering what would be a pretty good monitor that has a decent refresh rate (144 maybe?) while still performing well with my gpu.
Budget is around 500
slate hamlet
You need a stronger gpu dude
quartz sandal
You can't run a ultra wide 1440p and a high refresh 1440p on a 1050 ti
eternal shard
Ah, okay. Any suggestions? I would like to stick with nvidia and then maybe have a budget of 800 for the gpu? (Im gonna guess 800 for both a gpu and monitor would be a bit too low?)
quartz sandal
Ehh a 3060, 3060 ti or 3070
For a decent gpu atm and a 1440p monitor maybe could squeeze if you get a 450-500$ gpu
eternal shard
So if I get the 3060 (around $500) what monitor would be decent for it while having a higher refresh rate and possibly 2k?
eternal shard
Hm, has freesync. I dont know much about monitors but wouldn't I need (or would like to) have g-sync since I have a nvidia gpu?
eternal shard
Oh, alright! It says it has FreeSync premium and doesn't mention gsync so was just confused.
I'll check out the 3060 (maybe 3060 ti, though will have to see which is better for my needs) as well as the M27Q

<@344076586057859073> it's g sync compatible.
It says it only has FreeSync premium? Doesnt mention gsync. Im guessing you just mean it still works with nvidia monitors? But then again, unsure lol

Nvidia has tested it to be Compatible with G-Sync
Theres a list of "G-Sync Compatible" displays.

So I just got a new computer with an EVGA gtx 660 and for some reason it's not connecting up to the monitor. I connected it up to another one and it's working fine. Ideas?
river edge
One monitor works and one doesn't? Need more details on the monitors
GTX660 isn't UEFI compatible either and will lead to boot issues with WIndows 8 or 10
Card needs a VBIOS update from manufacturer
river edge
If it works with one monitor and not the other, i'd assume the GPU port is bad, cable is bad or monitor is bad. If same cable, might be a monitor issue
Or are you saying the monitor works on another pc
but not the one with the GTX660
floral path
hmm, it worked fine with the 650 before i got the new pc
river edge
What was the old PC
floral path
the monitor worked fine before the mobo ram and cpu switch, but now even with the same gpu as before the monitor doesn't work

river edge
Are you trying to use the Windows installation from the old hardware to boot?
floral path
right now we're having issues with getting the boot order so we can install windows
river edge
What was the old motherboard?
river edge
I see. I think the issue is UEFI. Need to turn off Secure Boot in the BIOS.
Enable Legacy boot
Enable CSM
floral path
Nothing
river edge
mmmmmmm
Try secure boot off, disable legacy and disable CSM
If that doesn't work
Card might not be compatible without a BIOS update
If you have a Legacy Options Rom setting, turn it ON

visual pilot
@potent gust here's the thing, M27q is a great panel that can easily rival 400-500$ 1440p165hz panels, but if you go cheaper than M27q, there's a decent gap downwards for something like a G27q, not only in terms of refresh rate, but in terms of actual color pixel response time, color accuracy, brightness, etc.

yeah only on video, like any random youtube video. im on a laptop running a gtx1650 max q with integrated 630, i believe it just runs the max q all the time at my settings but not positive
i restarted my computer and it worked better but why would that happen in the first place? im worried about it happening again and my return window is getting shorter, having trouble working out just hiccups with monitor-laptop tech versus identifying potential actual hardware problems..
ebon zenith
im not sure, where is that

Also when it’s unplugged it could get a bit choppy, since power settings might be set to save power
ebon zenith
its plugged in
using like a desktop these days since i couldnt build one this last year, im aware i might be pushing it a little hard to display, its a 2k monitor at 34 inches
but i didnt expect like huge stuttering on basic videos after it runs like games like control quite smoothly
slate hamlet
Say for example does it ocurr on different browsers
ebon zenith
i havent tried any others, unfortunately when i restarted it went away so i cant diagnose it as much, i didnt expect that otherwise i would have waited to do that
as i said im concerned about it being indicative of hardware side issue but i dont know, this is my first time using an external monitor with a laptop and im not well versed enough to tell whats hardware side versus compatibility stuff or drivers software etc
ebon zenith
ive had a lot of huccups from freesync basically crashing the monitor unless its turned off to difficulty with settings changing themselves and now this. yeah im on chrome
fading wyvern
ebon zenith
would video stuttering ever be a monitor hardware problem or basically always something else? ive tried to get feedback on this issue of determining if the monitor has problems vs it being other things and no one will really respond to me
fading wyvern
It’s probably a hardware issue,
If the monitor has performed other tasks fairly normally and expected should probably start to expect other bottlenecks like ram or graphics
Like your gsync issue before was probably caused by the monitor going below it’s minimum rated gsync frame rate
ebon zenith
wouldnt that come with actual framerate dropping? nothing i ran was like overloading the computer at all, it all ran smooth when i turned off freesync but with it on the monitor flashes black over and over and sometimes just stays black
fading wyvern

ebon zenith
it blacked out turning on freesync, i hear the disconnect sound, then i turn it back on using the monitor button and its back
ok well. is there some way i can prove that because i was told if i send it back and its not actually defective then i just eat the cost of all of that
shipping and restock as if it was just a return
i dont want to ship back a huge monitor if its not broken but i especially dont want to ship it back if theyre just going to say its fine
when i messaged newegg they were incredibly unhelpful and basically made it sound like they can do whatever they want
im actually maybe too late already because my window was only 30 days but i would hope a company selling a defective monitor like has some kind of policy that isnt just screwing me over, i couldnt figure it out going thru newegg

nobody in the last two weeks has bothered with that one thanks
river edge
It needs to be USB-C out
USB-C to Displayport to be exact
Your laptop may or may not have it, have to check it
ebon zenith
usb c to the display port on the monitor
ebon zenith
usb on monitor?
river edge
USB-C to DP on your laptop, then Displayport to the monitor
If you don't have a USB-C port, it won't work
river edge
yes
ebon zenith
ok. are ther other issues you might expect over hdmi?
i thought hdmi was like the standard
river edge
Mmmm, depends on the HDMI cable you're using
There are a ton of different versions from 1.0 to 2.1
Different cables can handle different amounts of data so using an older, slow cable can cause issues at high resolution or high refresh rates
HMDI is confusing, DP just works
ebon zenith
and if the laptop doesnr have dp usb c to dp is just as good? or at least better?
ebon zenith
its hdmi 2
river edge
Your USB-C port can be used as video out
ebon zenith
2.0
river edge
not all can so check it
ebon zenith
oh yeah im not sure about that
river edge
What is HDMI 2
ebon zenith
monitor is 2.0 not 2.1
ebon zenith
ohh yeah im just using the one that came with which is probably bad
river edge
It should be labeled Ultra High Speed or at the very least High Speed
ebon zenith
how can i check if my usb can do video? and if not whats a hdmi cable youd suggest, it seems hard to find somewhere thats consistent from what ive seen online
river edge
Need to look at your laptop manufacturers website to see if it's supported OR next to the USB-C port there will be a monitor symbol
A little rectangle inside another rectangle
Or a D like this
ebon zenith
missing that symbol. im looking up the laptop, does thunderbolt 3.0 mean anything or its a further distinction?
it looks like people have connected these to monitors thru usb c im still trying to find the distinction from the manufacturer themself
river edge
Thunderbolt is a spec that CAN carry video but the issue with laptops is that often the thunderbolt port isn't connected to the GPU
It needs to be hardwired into it and it's often a "premium" feature
This is a Certified HDMI 2.1 cable, should be good for what you need https://smile.amazon.com/48Gbps-Compatible-Netflix-Playstation-Samsung/dp/B07S1CGQ9Z
Time for bed. Hope you got a little bit of help here. 🙂
ebon zenith
hmm im trying to lookup if its hard wired seems like not exactly on a spec sheet
river edge
I would imagine with a 1650 Max Q it isn't
Especially if it doesn't have the symbol next to the port
ebon zenith
ok. thanks for the direction ill tamp down my frustration another day and look into some other connecting options
river edge
Google your laptop model name and Thunderbolt Video Out and see what you get.
ebon zenith
power delivery up to 100w and display port alt mode for 4k external monitor support 🙂

Hey all, I was just referred here by New Egg staff- looking for an HDMI splitter (Extender NOT mirror) for adding a third monitor to my laptop. I've got a VGA port already spoken for and one monitor through the only HDMI port in my Think Pad. Any suggestions for a splitter? Thanks!

Mose likely your laptop won't support 3 monitors I'm guessing because that's 4 displays it would have to power

It supported the additional screen as a mirror

Can't do what you want with what you have is the short answer. You'll need a USB to HDMi output if you want to extend your displays

Well bitcoin bottomed out at 30k less than 24h ago, and it's already back up to 38k, with experts predicting it hitting 70k by the end of December.
Unless Elon tweets again

winged meteor
WHY is every splitter I find only support 30hz on 1080p but 60hz on 4k???
I wouldve assumed youd get more hz on lower res
it makes me sad
maiden wedge
Who knows go back to crt
2k resolutions at 120hz split without issues
Hardware couldnt handle it ofc
No its probably an issue with knock off brands
winged meteor
idk what brand offers a 1 to 2 splitter with 60hz
I just want to set up my second monitor!
anyone know of a good 1 to 2 HDMI splitter that supports 60hz?
mystic light
I just got a 1080p 144 hertz monitor and its only letting me stick with 60 hertz I am using a gtx 550 ti because its all I have at the moment because my rx 570 broke, does anyone know how to fix this refresh rate issue?
also I had to get this cable in order to get my gpu working with my monitor could this be the limiting factor?
slate hamlet
that graphics card might not support the hdmi standard necessary for that
misty gyro
A lot of hdmi ports are limited to 60hz
slate hamlet
yeah considering it's like 5 generations behind
misty gyro
Usually DP works
mystic light
my gpu does not have dp support am I going to just have to stick with 60 hertz until I can get a better gpu?
misty gyro
Which model gpu do you have exactly?
misty gyro
I can't find a single reliable source that will tell me what hdmi version that card has.
Even the technical spec sheet from MSI only states "mini-hdmi"
summer obsidian
I would assume that gpu won't support above 60 Hz on the premise my old gtx 650 struggled to output 60fps at 900p so they probably didn't see any reason to have support for higher refresh rates at the time
tough wren
what would be the best monitor under 200? Not looking for 1440p, just monitor size mainly
worn spire
24” minimum for most people, pretty standard now
slate hamlet
so your metric of best is big?
if that's the case I'm sure the used market would be satisfactory
worn spire
Just buy a used 40” flatscreen tv
slate hamlet
haven't read invincible but I hope Mark eventually gets to like, rip Omni man's head off or something
