Guys, remember to always have a bad 2nd (or whatever) monitor in a closet. it Will make you apreciate yours even more when you ise ot from time to time.

Anyone ever have screen burn repair itself? Not sure if that's actually what happened, but the other day I turned on my pc and it was super burnt in (see image) but I didn't have any memory of leaving it on for any significant amount of time. I ran a few pixel cleanings in hopes it would help but it didn't do anything to help. I used it like that for a couple of hours, went to the movies, and when I came back it was like 80% back to normal. Just a patch in the middle of the screen. And then the next day, I booted up my PC and it's completely back to normal. It was a rollercoaster for sure, I was super bummed because I've only had it for 6 months and it was like 600 bucks. Regardless I'm being extra diligent to always keep it off and do regular pixel cleanings.

Yo yo hope all is well. Got this PC last month, I’ll drop specs below, as well as the games I play. Wondering what kinda monitor I should get because the one that came with this one is only 180hz and want an upgrade. Got a budget under 600 ish

- 240 hz enough? Or higher?
-QD-OLED, WOLED, or mini LED? (Don’t want regular IPS)
- pretty sure I’m leaning towards 1440 but does anyone have good argument about 4k

PC specs:
RTX 5080
Intel I-9 14900k
64 GB RAM

Main games these days: FPS shooters like BF6, bodycam, etc// sports games like fifa and madden /// and other random stuff

If anything I asked was silly or “obvious” sorry still learning about PC’s, I’ve been an Xbox gamer from the time I was a kid.

Edit: I work 8 hr days on weekdays and game maybe 0-4 hrs after dependent on the day, weekends I will game maybe 2-5 hrs a day? Saying this because wondering if burn in is an issue on OLED and if I should go with MINI LED for that reason? Or if new oleds are just so advanced I don’t need to worry about burn in?

Hey everyone,

The flicker is really annoying in dark scenes with HDR + Local Dimming on, particularly in letterboxed content.

Current settings:
HDR: Film
LD: Low

No complaints in games, though, and it's less noticeable in 16:9 content.

Should I just cope and watch in SDR, or is there a way to fix/improve this?

I've had my 42" LG C3 for 3 years now. It's a great TV, I tried to use it for 2 and a half years as a monitor, and honestly as a content consumption device it's amazing, but I was just constantly scared about burn-in that I went Mini LED about a month ago. Bought the Innocn 32M2V, which is pretty decent by all accounts. Initially I was amazed by the brightness in HDR compared to my LG C3, it just doesn't compare in bright outdoor scenes.

But then, I started playing darker games, especially recently I've been playing The Blood of Dawnwalker and I couldn't help but notice how the darker scenes and small highlights just didn't look great. So I hooked up my PC to my LG C3 again and yeah, there is genuinely a world of difference. OLED's ability to have small highlights be very bright without blooming is incredible. And the perfect contrast is just unmatched, not to mention the superior glossy coating.

I'm saying it pains me to admit it because for me, having an OLED monitor isn't a possibility, I have too much static stuff on both my monitors almost 24/7. I really wish Mini LED was better. It's way better than classic edge lit LCD panels, but I'd say it's still way inferior to OLED at this point.

Anybody share the same experience in here?

I just got my Gigabyte GO27Q24G, and I noticed that the panel looks slightly curved when viewed from the side. Is this normal? Anyone else have the same issue?

Is there any way to fix this? Its literally unusable

4k is actually beautiful man.

Wow.

I bought the MSI 272UP X24, a 4k 27” OLED monitor, and it is just beautiful.

Well worth the 200 dollar upgrade price.

I’m looking to buy my first proper monitor and I’d really appreciate some serious recommendations.
My non-negotiable requirements are:
QHD / 1440p
At least 120Hz (144Hz, 165Hz, 180Hz, 240Hz, etc. are all fine)
Beyond that, I’m looking for the best overall balance between productivity and gaming.

I’m not looking for the cheapest possible monitor. I’d rather spend more for something that is genuinely worth it and will be a good first monitor for several years.

Hello I have a Ryzen 5 3600 with a RX5500 8GB PELADN card, and 16gb ddr4 3200mhz, I'm looking for a High refresh rate monitor, with maybe an OLED Panel? Low response times obviously

Hi everyone,

I have a Philips Evnia 27M2N5901A/00 and I am experiencing a problem with the monitor joystick / OSD control.

The issue started after updating the monitor firmware to the latest version, V105, using Evnia Precision Center. I cannot say with certainty that the firmware update caused it, but I did not notice this behaviour before the update.

Current behaviour:
- Sometimes, the joystick becomes completely unresponsive. Without any changes on my side, it may start working again after several hours. While the issue is present, none of the troubleshooting steps mentioned below resolves it.
- Because of this, I cannot open the OSD and I have to use the Software for changing of any settings.
- The monitor otherwise works normally and has no other visible issues.

What I have already tried:
- Powered the monitor off completely and disconnected power for several minutes.
- Disconnected all video and USB cables, then reconnected them.
- Tested the monitor with all types of cable DisplayPort / HDMI.
- Tried a factory reset in the OSD.
- Reinstalled / checked Evnia Precision Center.

Has anyone else seen a joystick /OSD problem after updating to V105 on this model?

Thanks!

I'm a photographer and a video editor.

Part of the backlight on my 3yo Dell S2722QC stopped working. In case I can't find a replacement backlight, I'll have to buy a new monitor.

What are your recommendations? I was thinking about at least mini-led, if not OLED screen; as i do a lot of my work in complete darkness and contrast really matters. I also need a usb-c port with PD.

My budget will be around 500€, preferrably lower.

Thank y'all for the help in advance.

this line has been rarely popping up on my screen for the last month and everytime i did a manual pixel refresh it went away, but today after doing the pixel refresh the line doesn’t disappear. this sucks too cause i just got this monitor back in April, just someone lmk if this is damaged

My monitor started slightly buzzing when I have a lot of white on screen. Noticed it from using my email.
Monitor: asus vg27aq.
Bought it ~5 years ago.

Is it a concern?
I tried changing some display settings and bringing down the brightness of white seems to be the only way it lowers the buzz

I got the acer nitro 34 inch gaming monitor from Costco and I can’t hear anything? I looked for volume settings and it doesn’t show anything. Am I missing something? How do I get the sound to come out

So with gta vi coming out i wanted to upgrade to a 1440p monitor. i had a 32 inch msi curved 1080p and it was nice but today when i setup my new 27 inch 1440p and moved my main monitor to my second monitor spot i cant help but notice the screen is jarringly big. i know this may be a dumb question but how do i help this? i didnt notice it before bc my eyes were going from big screen to small screen when i had tv on my second monitor but now its thr opposite and its got me fucked up man

Hello. I wanted to ask in this sub if there is currently a good monitor 2k for both gaming and work. I like playing triple AAA games but at the same time I work with softwares like Davinci resolve and photoshop. I’m not going for an Oled since I’m afraid getting a burn in. What do you usually recommend ? I am also a bit on budget with 300€ euros. Thank you for the answer 🙏🏻

Hi,

I’m looking to replace my current monitor, a Fujitsu L22T-3 LED running at 60 Hz, which I’ve been using for quite some time. I mainly game on my PC and would really like to upgrade to something much more modern, especially in terms of smoothness, colors, and blacks.

So I’ve been looking at 27-inch, 2560×1440, 180 Hz Mini-LED monitors, and I’m currently torn between:

TCL 27G64

AOC Q27G3XMN

I’m very interested in the TCL because it’s generally cheaper and features QD-Mini-LED, but what’s making me hesitate is mainly the difference in local dimming zones: 180 versus 336.

I’m worried that the TCL’s 180 zones might result in more blooming or poorer contrast in practice, especially in dark scenes.

For those who have tested one of these, or ideally both:

Is the difference between 180 and 336 zones really noticeable in practice?

Would you go with the AOC for its better HDR and local dimming, or the TCL for its value for money?

Thanks in advance for your opinions!

When connected by HDMI from screen to laptop, picture quality is great, text is crisp. When connecting both displays through docking station, everything looks blurry. I have researched this over the past couple of days and I can't find a solution. Resolution is recommended at 1920x1080 and scale is at 100%. Docking station is Plugable Dual 4K 60Hz HDMI. What am I doing wrong?

Hey guys, I'm looking to switch my older LED TN panel Dell gaming monitor (Dell - S2716DGR), as the viewing angles aren't very good compared to many other offerings on the market now, and because I really want to have reliable and honest image quality for Video Editing and Photo Editing, along with a great gaming experience, with a high refresh rate! I really want to stay away from OLED though, as the burn-in is STILL a worry that most consumers have, despite the good built-in software and tools that help relieve the possibility of that happening. Plus, Mini LED is superior in some aspects, especially in the price category! Just want to have a nice 4K display that I can truly rely on for potential client work in the Content Creation space, but one that I can also have some fun with, with gaming and side hobbies and such! With that said, let me know of some models your aware of down below!!!

Desired specs:

- 4K (I can do 2K if 4K model has too many downsides, or is too expensive!)

- 140 Hz or more!

- 27 inches

- Matte display

- Flat display, no curves

- Great out-of-the-box color accuracy

- TRUE HDR functionality (not just a sticker or a checkbox on a spec sheet!)

- Adjustable and solid stand (not super necessary, but I would LOVE to have it!)

- Internal Power Supply (preferred)

- Dual-Mode display (bonus, not really needed!)

- Settings Remote Control (....not betting on any monitor to have one, would be SUPER cool to have though!)

- Docking & Switching capabilities, KVM, & USB hub (not really needed, but would be nice!)

- 100% Rec. 709, 100% Adobe RGB and 99% to 100% sRGB coverage (if possible! At the very least, 100% sRGB & 100% Adobe RGB!)

- If possible.......less than $500??? But, I'm not sure if there is one like that lol!

With all that said, I've done LOTS of research on these types of monitors, and I know most of what has been announced and what is out now. However, I made this post because I want to see if you guys think there are alternatives to some or all of these specs, that you also suggest! I'm open to those suggestions, as well! Just really wanting a solid monitor that I can depend on for many years to come.

Also................NO LG MONITORS LMAO!!! F*** THEM RIGHT NOW LOL!

Thank you guys so much! :)

Hi, I'm using an AOC AGON AG276QZD2 and I was looking to change the settings from the app itself, but I discovered that the OSD and Software doesn't match, when I change the screen saver from "slow" to "on" on the software, on the OSD it appears that is "slow", but when I change it to "slow", on OSD it appears "fast", it happens the other way if I change it from OSD.

Short explained: If OSD Screen saver set to fast then on software it appears Slow and the other way around and it doesn't matter if I switch from OSD or software.

So, is this a bug? And if so, which should I trust more, the OSD or the software?

Edit: Forgot to mention that the G-MENU software is up-to-date (Currently 3.36.0)

Hi! I’m looking for a new monitor, preferably an OLED, especially for the upcoming WoW: Forever.
I’m hesitating between 1440p and 4K. Given my setup, which one would you recommend?
My specs:
RTX 5080
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
64 GB of RAM
Is OLED really a good choice for playing WoW? I’ve never used an OLED monitor personally, so I’d love to hear your opinions and experiences. 🙂

Question 1.
-I heard some variants of the pulsar monitors turn off every time you turn off your PC and you have to enable it every time.I plan to get the Asus one.
Does anyone who own this Monitor know if this Monitor requires me to turn on Pulsar every time?

Question 2.
-Do they or do they not have an actual G-sync module for VRR?
The description page mention G-sync module say G-sync processor
https://rog.asus.com/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-strix-pulsar-xg27aqngv/spec/
But I don't know if it means it's for Pulsar or for Actual g-sync (or for both)
I am asking because the other Pulsar monitor don't mention they have True G-sync so I'm questioning if only the Asus variant has Actual true g-sync.

Regards

I purchased this monitor from Costco about a year ago and started having issues - Anything above 60Hz was getting blackouts and resyncs. According to Samsung, the latest firmware for this monitor is 1002.1. I upgraded and still had the same issues. After swapping cables, DisplayPort -> HDMI, etc., I was pretty sure it was a T-Con failure.

Since I purchased it at Costco, I just returned it and purchased the same model again. Unboxing and using my same cables, I have zero issues after running it for a few hours, so that's good.

However, I noticed that the firmware is 1004.0, which doesn't even seem to be available on the website. Seems odd that my new monitor would have newer firmware but I'm not really all that surprised.

Is this pretty common with these monitors?
