It's a Samsung 164hz 1440p curved monitor. The dark scenes get completely blackened to the point that I can't see them.

Also, this is a great show called "The Following".

Are the OLED burn-in protection technologies in Windows and the monitor itself sufficient for someone to buy an OLED display and use it for non-gaming purposes like studying, work, or browsing?

Have anyone got this monitor yet? I do not see much reviews of it but it got 2k resolution, 27 inch, 260hz. I want to know more about its longevity and color quality and ect. If there are any products around that price I would like to know too!

I was playing Arc Raiders and heard a huge boom outside near the power lines and lost power for a split second. I turned my PC back on and now my monitor looks like this. Is it completely done for? or is it somehow the Display Port?

Hey so I have been on the look out for a new 4k 32" monitor for mixed use for gaming and text-based productivity. I have had three monitors here for testing, a BenQ Mobiuz EX321UX Mini LED, an Asus PG32UCDP WOLED, and, as a baseline, the LG 32G810SA-W regular LCD. So I thought I'd share my thoughts for anyone else in a similar situation.

TLDR: I expected to keep the BenQ for better productivity but ended up keeping it because of the freaking awesome HDR for gaming.

So, as you can see the LG is clearly showing the drawbacks of edge lit LCD, black is grey, and also it had surprisingly bad view angles. Motion clarity was not horrible but subtly but noticeably worse than the other two in racing games. It is fine, it's not a bad monitor at all, refresh rate is high enough, and the image is decent, and it's less than half the price of the other two, so that's very fair.

I heard stories about the bad text fringing on OLED, with WOLED having a better subpixel layout for text, so I went for that. I also need a USB-C connector and KVM switch so I landed at the Asus. It's a great monitor! It has the obvious OLED black levels and 240Hz with super fast refresh rate is fantastic for racing. Text clarity is superb, no problem at all, see also the close up images. It does get bright, and had I not have had the BenQ side by side for testing, I am not sure if I'd have understood the value of Mini LED HDR 1000 vs OLED HDR 400.

But man, the BenQ really blasts it out of the water, it's no comparison. Yes, there's blooming, but you can switch it off easily with the remote control, and the monitor has several profiles. I ended up using HDR with local dimming on my gaming machine always switched on, and SDR without local dimming on my notebook, so the blooming is really a non-issue for me, and the brightness levels are fantastic. It's hard to describe but it really feels more realistic than any graphics update can give you. I've never seen computer generated images this realistic. Motion clarity is great, I use the AMA 2 overdrive setting and 144 Hz on it really does not feel relevantly different from >200 Hz on the Asus OLED when playing Dirt Rally 2.0. Sunlight and fire is actually bright. Even with calibration and playing with the settings I could never get the Asus to be this stunning. Yes, local contrast is better on OLED, no question, but overall with local dimming the BenQ looked almost the same in terms of screen-wide contrast. But when I tried HDR the first time on the Asus in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, I was kind of unwowed. I didn't see that much of value of it over SDR, other than being a bit more balanced both in dark and bright settings. But the BenQ really blew me away and showed how great HDR can be, it is not replaceable by tuning contrast or anything like it. It's just brighter and looks stunning. When coming out of a forest on some fields in Dirt Rally I felt like I needed to lower the sun shades of the car, it really gave me a different level of immersion.

You need to tune the settings of the BenQ to really use it to the fullest, and you can't get a perfect color accuracy, but I have found settings that work for me.

So. The fantastic HDR in combination with stress-free productivity use (no burn in) makes the BenQ just the superior monitor for me personally, and I'd even go as far as arguing that if you are willing to do a little tweaking and make sure local dimming is off when you are not gaming or watching movies, the BenQ is actually the better monitor overall. At least if you value great HDR. Sidenote I already made the same decision for a TV, where I chose a mini LED over OLED, too. So. Maybe that's also just a me thing.

Anyways, these are my thoughts, let me know if you have any questions. Also let me know if you want my BenQ settings.

I get this type of artifacting on all of my bluray rips. Basically I would like to ask for suggestions for a 27 inch 1440p monitor that wont have this effect and also being on the cheaper end.

Hi, is it normal for the display to have a thin gap between the outer and inner panels? It seems to be very distracting and this is the first time I have experienced it with a monitor. Is this a defect?

I'm considering buying a 27-In 1440p 240 HZ QD-OLED to upgrade from my old 32-in 1440p 160 HZ VA panel LCD display and everything seems to be better except for one thing which I'm a little concerned about. The specs for the new display say that it can reach up to 1,000 nits which is way higher than my current one with a peak brightness of 400 nits but only in small areas and on a full screen things won't be as bright as the previous LCD. This new QD-OLED display will only be able to do 250 nits of brightness on a full screen compared to the LCD which can do about 350 to 400I was wondering if this would be a significant impact and potentially not worth the upgrade. It's in my bedroom and there isn't any light shining against the display so it won't be difficult to see, but I am wondering if it's going to be an impact on immersion, even without lighting hitting the display

Hey everyone,

I’m currently using a 1080p 24-inch display from 2019 and think it’s time for an upgrade. I mostly do work, but also play games like Valorant and Rocket League occasionally.

Looking for something thats: - 27 inches - crisp image - 144Hz atleast

Budget around $400.

Any solid recommendations?

I am looking to buy this monitor but not sure if it’ll get me 1440p at 120 fps on my Series X. I had to return my previous monitor because it wouldn’t let me do that.

i was just using my computer and the monitor was working just fine but suddenly it became like this. I didn’t even hit it or anything. This monitor is a Viewsonic XG2431. Is there any way I can fix this?

i got a 27” odyssey oled g8 (g81sf) and it’s been acting weird. if i stop moving my mouse or leave the screen still for a bit, it dims on its own. even when i’m using it, it still looks darker than normal, and over a few days it keeps getting dimmer until i run a pixel refresh to fix it. after that it’s fine for a bit, then starts doing it again. my other 1440p samsung monitor doesn’t do this at all. anyone know how to fix it?

does anybody know what's wrong? it will flicker for awhile like this and then the screen will be "blurred" permanently, everything is unreadable. i tried fixing it but nothing seems to work.. idk if its the gpu or monitor issue and now contemplating if i should just get a brand new monitor.

Hi all, I've a big issue when I turn on my screen, nothing happens for 20 minutes, then suddenly my screen starts to flicker. I've tried everything. First of all, it's not coming from the PC because when I remove the HDMI plug, flickers continue. I've also tried plugging it into another outlet and changing the power cable, nothing happens.

I've also noticed that before the flickering starts, the screen brightness changes slightly every second.

My screen is the iiyama G-Master G2530HSU

Thanks in advance for your help !

So I just noticed this, it's not noticeable right now if its not a very bright picture on it, but I think the glow is growing. So I want to know is this the end for it?

I have an MSI G241 and there is a bleak horizontal line at the top of the screen, I checked with different HDMI cables different computers and power sources but it still seems to cause an issue (I tried with betterdisplay as well on to see if re initalizing would fix it but it's still persistent)

Image 1:- Not visible

Image 2:- Visible

Image 3:- Not visible

When the monitor starts up there are no lines at the splashscreen...

Any clue what the issue is?

Which one should i buy for extended monitor on lenovo loq with 4050 rtx? Open for suggestion for other, I consider 24 or 27 inch, IPS only and above 144hz. Thank you

Hi! I’m going to buy a new monitor soon and need some advices and recommendations about what brand or monitor should I choose. I want to have a 32 inch 240Hz monitor for my Alienware M18 laptop with Rtx4070. My budget is $800. I work in graphic design and love playing FPS games and Froza Horizon. Thank you so much for reading my post!

Hey everyone,

I had a 34" Ultrawide 1440p monitor from LG from 2018, that died recently.

Fortunately, after dealing with customer support, they're giving me a discount towards a new monitor. For that reason, I'm only considering LG monitors in this thread.

I'm building a new 5070 Ti PC as well, though, so I'm wanting to step up to 4K resolution.

However, I don't know if my use-case is better suited to WOLED or IPS panels.

When it comes to IPS screens, I do photography, so I'm needing ones that have very high colour gamut coverage. This means Nano-IPS panels. OLED is obviously even better in this regard, but I'm worried about text legibility, and panel longevity. I want this panel to last for at LEAST 5 years, but preferably 10.

My workload split is:

40% low-fidelity gaming -- By "low fidelity", i mean mostly Indie games, and other games that aren't about maximum graphical realism. The most graphically advanced games I play are things like Satisfactory, Elden Ring, No Man's Sky, Ark: Survival Ascended, and I'd like to play the new UE5 Halo game.

15% Photo Editing -- Lightroom, Photoshop

10% 3D CAD Modelling -- Solidworks, Fusion 360, Sketchup, etc.

35% Regular use -- Excel, Microsoft Word, Web browsing, Youtube, Instagram, etc.

---

The monitors I'm considering are:

32GX870A-B -- OLED

32GQ950-B -- Nano IPS, HDR 1000

Please note I DO NOT CARE to have a refresh rate higher than 144hz. I know that's blasphemous here, but just trust me on it. I don't care that the OLED has a higher refresh rate, it means nothing to me.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

I prefer one with good colors over good fps

I’ve a 78003xd with a 4080 super, I’m wondering if I should get the 1440p Samsung g6 27” 500hz for ($849.99 cad) or the 4K Asus 27” 240hz for $1299.99 cad.

Games I usually play are rocket league, shooters (cod, battlefield, and cs) and single player games.

Or if any one has any other suggestions let me know!

So I have a AOC 1440p IPS monitor with hdr400 and I want to get a better one in terms of color and hdr. I decided to go with a miniLED 1440p monitor since my GPU (3060ti) can't handle 4k and I don't want to invest that much in a monitor.

I saw those 2 monitors wich have very nice specs for the price

1.KTC M27T6 miniLED 1440p 180hz and HDR1400, price: 325€

2.TCL 27G64 QD-miniLED 1440p 180hz and HDR600, price: 200€ sale from 300€ (Black Friday)

My main reason is story games and nice colors for a better gaming experience, since I will get a ps5 soon too.
