I have decided recently that I am going to build a pc and want to play games at 1440p and possibly oled. I just have two questions:

- I’ve heard that switching from 1440p down to 1080p for some games can make the resolution visually worse than true 1080p. Is this true? If so, is it bad enough so that I should just stick with 1080p and focus on high fps fir my build instead?

- Is OLED as great as people say? I’ve only gamed on LCD screens and like my OLED iPhone display, and love the idea of lower input delay and better vibrancy. Despite this I feel that the price is just too much compared to the traditional LCD screen.

Hello, I've bought an ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQL5A. It's an IPS panel, and I'm not sure I'm happy with it.

I've spent a few days tweaking the colors to compare it to my second IPS monitor (Lenovo Full HD). I thought I would be impressed after switching from a 144Hz TN monitor, but I'm not. My eyes hurt, and the difference in colors is jarring. I know my old monitor had even worse color reproduction, but I simply got used to it over the last 6 years.

Let me know if I should stick with this ASUS, or if it's better to spend a bit more and get a Tandem OLED like the LG UltraGear 27GX700A-B or the Gigabyte MO27Q28G (unless you have a better recommendation).

Thanks in advance for your replies!

I'm planning to upgrade my Samsung SyncMaster from 2007 and I'm stuck.

I mostly use my PC for work, studying, and watching videos on youtube.

I sometimes play games, but not too often, and even more rare for me to play FPS game. For FPS games I use my laptop's built-in 165 hz monitor(i have a dual monitor setup. A built-in one, and an external SyncMaster)

So what this comes down to:

I'm hesitant, because on the 32" monitor due to the size and resolution I lose a lot of pixel density, but get very smooth animation thanks to the 180hz.

On the other hand, on the 4k 27" i get a very nice pixel density, but 60 hz.

For 32" I'm considering 32" Samsung Odyssey G5 G50F.

I haven't chosen a 4k model yet.

So please, tell me what will be more pleasant to use for work in your opinion?

For years I've had an AOC E2460SH as my secondary monitor that I mostly use for TV and movies. I originally had 2, but upgraded my main monitor for gaming for something with a higher refresh rate.

Recently I decided to upgrade my secondary monitor and started looking for recommendations. The issue is that I don't want something big, I don't need something with a high refresh rate and I don't want something super expensive.

Initially I was looking for a 27 inch 4k OLED monitor, but those are ridiculously priced for a secondary monitor, fluffed up with features that I just don't need. Eventually I saw what looked like a good deal in Costco for an MSI MAG 274QF (Even if it was 1440p). Wrong. The blacks/darks/gradients on this monitor absolutely did not stand up to my previous AOC monitor. I was then suggest by a friend getting a VA panel and saw the AOC U27B3M. This has been significantly worse.

My biggest problem is that there's so few places I can view a monitor these days and I don't want to end up buying 50 of them to find one that works well.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a 4k monitor, 27 inches or less that actually does dark lighting and gradients well? I'm hoping for something under £200, which I know may be a stretch.

Alright so I have an msi optix g273cq right now and im thinking of an upgrade. I got a really good deal for a TCL 34R83Q. I get it for 250€ its bought from a trusted electronics store, the biggest of my country and has plenty of warranty left. I was thinking about the VA panel tho. Because I have a VA panel right now and i want that IPS smoothness kinda does the tcl mini led HVA panel provide that? Or even close to it? Ofcourse its a no brainer deal, right?

What monitor would you guys recommend that’s under $175 with the following specs:

- 4K
- 24” or 27”
- USB-C

Connecting to a MacBook Air for work. I feel that full HD 1080 won’t be as clear and sharp as the OEM MacBook Display hence the need for 4K

Dell? LG?

4K or maybe even QHD

Thanks :)

I loved the LG but the color fringing was sometimes a bit much. As was the 800R curve. (i went from a AW3420DW to the LG)

Finally biting on a good RGB OLED, but I'm super impressed with the QD-OLED. Color volume is insane.

Everything is so sharp compared to the LG. I wonder how badly the LG's pixel style fuzzed things over. (even in-game, just the overall detail of things.)

Other unexpected perks: less brightness flickering with fps changes. At least, I can't notice it anymore. There's usually an explosion or something in game that happens with fps changes that rapid anyway.

I was worried about going from matte to glossy, but the AW hardly deserves the term glossy. I don't see reflections of the room or myself in it when off or in black or dark scenes, like I used to gaming on a 42" TV ages ago. I expect this is a problem in bright studio lighting or if i let the sun in, but we'll see. Any semblance of light control and you're good.

I know this question has probably been asked multiple times here, but I just want to make sure.

My 24″ 1080p monitor completely broke down after less than 3 years of use and now I'll probably need a new one. I keep hearing that my RX 9060 XT 16GB is perfectly fine for 1440p, but my main issue is that I don't want to lose out on high fps. I've also heard that 1080p in 2026 is a bit of a waste of money but still.

I play mainly story games and I know that high fps isn't mandatory in them but I still enjoy the smoothness I get in 1080p.

My budget is tight but it seems like 1440p isn't too expensive so I guess that's not really a problem. I also don't know how fast I will get used to the bigger 27″ panel.

I have a curved ultra wide 34 inch 60hz and a curved 24 inch 175hz monitor. I am thinking about putting the smaller one, on bottom to take advantage of the higher refresh rate and using the larger one for sim racing.

Hello guys! Im looking to buy a decent monitor and after a while i still cant decide what to choose,i need some help.The 2 monitors im looking to are Lenovo r27qe gen 2 and AOC Q27G4ZR.Can i get some help with pros and cons? Many thanks!

Hi, For the past few weeks, I've been looking for a new monitor, mainly for work (3D design) and watching content like movies and TV series. I do some gaming as well, but that's not my main priority.

I'm not really sure what I should be looking for, so I was wondering if you have any recommendations or monitors you've personally used and liked.

My budget is around €500, but I'm willing to spend a bit more if it's genuinely worth the extra cost.

its an AOC IPS Monitor. -> "Q27G41ZE" , i have had it for less than a month.

Cant solve this issue
Seen somone having the same exact symptoms on this model

Did anyone else have this problem

Heys guys I’m thinking about getting a new monitor in the future I’m trying to decide between these two. I’ve never had a ultra wide monitor but in your opinion do you guys like the 45 inch one or the 39 inch one?

i live in Vietnam but just assume that i live in US for more convenience in recommending the monitor, lets just talk about the US market. Since the Vietnam market is pretty confusing, i can just find deals on the monitor myself in the Vietnam market.

First off, my pc specs is: a 7950x cpu, with rx6800 gpu. Currently, im using the AOC 24g2sp 1080p monitor, thats why im looking for an upgrade now. I wont change it for years, so the new 1440p monitor is a long-term usage. I use my pc mainly for productivity, such as coding and physics simulation stuffs, i read articles alot as well as science papers, but sometimes i do watch movies and films for entertainment, just not as much as my workloads. I do game on my pc but mainly incremental games or simple games like that way.

Im gonna sell my AOC 24g2sp for around 70-80$ in my country, and adding some of my savings. So that i have a budget of 250$. I will buy a monitor arm too but thats a separate budget. But its not after i get the monitor, maybe 1-2 months later then i will buy the arm.

Currently, im looking at the AOC q27g40xmn but not sure if there are any better options than this.

And also, i use my pc in a bright and well-litted room, i use dark mode for almost everything, including windows, terminal, vscode,.... themes, only light themes occasionally like pdf documents. I sit on my chair around 60-80cm far from the monitor.

I want to buy a new monitor so that i have a second monitor for my desktop computer but i have no idea of what i should get. I don't want huge quality just a monitor to put discord on it. I would like it to be under 100 euros but if that doesn't exit i can probably raise the budget a little. (also i live in france if you want to include shipping)

title.

this monitor is at my room and i let this config at "working". when i turn off the pc, the monitor goes to standby and the led stays flashing all the time, so i generally turn off the monitor manually when i finish using the pc, but it would be more convenient if i just turn off the pc and the monitor stays in standby without flashing the led, is there some config that im missing here?

This is a HUAWEI MateView GT 34 I got about 4 years ago, just noticed this today... (Also please don't judge me, I cleaned the monitor like 2 weeks ago)

Update

Main PC:

Arch Linux + KDE Plasma (Wayland)

Dual Xeon E5-2689 — 16 cores / 32 threads

128GB RAM

Intel Arc B580 (upgraded from GTX 1070)

Removed secondary GPU due to issues

Displays:

32" 1080p centre monitor

24" monitor

3x 22" monitors(one for windows laptop)

Also running:

Ryzen 3700U laptop with 16GB RAM

Galaxy Tab A 2018 tablet

Using Deskflow to share keyboard/mouse between my Linux desktop and Windows laptop. The tablet is mainly used for monitoring, YouTube, and extra screen space.

The only Windows apps I still use are Creality Slicer and FrostWire since they don't work properly on Arch. Everything else I need is done on Linux.

I also use USB/IP and Syncthing across both systems for sharing devices and keeping everything synced.

Still trying to figure out a proper way to use the tablet as a secondary display with keyboard/mouse input.

I've been staring at the same 27" 4K monitor for years, and lately I've been wondering if it's time to move up.

Most of my day is spent in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Premiere. I'd rather hear from people who've lived with a 6K monitor for a while than watch another sponsored review.

If you made the jump, was it worth it?

Hey guys, I bought this monitor a year before and while I was playing last of us I was seeing some of this light on the darker parts. I was seeing darker parts somewhat lighter in this area. Is this backlight bleeding or just ips glowing?
