Wait for better deals? Or grab this right now

I need some recommendations for gaming ps5 and trading and just daily stuff monitor

Just got this asus 1440p 240 hz Qd-OLED and after around 2-3 hours of playing on it this happened and now it wont even turn on lmao 😭.

EDIT: I went to the shop that sold me the monitor and he offered to give me a replacement so the new monitors coming tomorrow.

It looks even brighter on a white background, dimmer on a black background. It appeared today after turning on the pc. Is there any way to fix it or just put up with it or take it in for repair?

so far so good. no dead pixels or dirt.

clean aesthetic and seamless installation.

also zero blooming around the mouse or white texte on a black background. but I have not push brightness feature yet.

will come back later with an edit to add my experience with visual performance.

Literally mint condition 🥹

I live with ME/CFS and just started a grad program that's mostly virtual. I'm working on a horizontal bed-working setup so I can use either my laptop or an external monitor lying down flat. I have a laptop tray on an arm that sits above me and to my right, but it's not quite long enough to be right over me vertically so my neck gets screwed up.

Suggestions on monitor arms that would allow me to mount a monitor on the wall beside me or above my headboard to use laying completely flat?

So far, I'm looking at the one linked and possibly mounting it sideways so I can turn it a full 90º down. Thanks!

So I got a cheap-ish Monitor on Amazon with the intention of it being a small second monitor. A while back I had gotten one that wouldn’t work, and thus returned, but when I decided to give it a shot again with a different Amazon monitor I found roughly the exact same issues (well different in that it’s “different companies” but seems to be basically the exact same monitor with a different company name which is incredibly infuriating, my last attempt at this being with a KYY monitor). So seeing that probably means I’m doing something wrong/stupid, I thought I would ask here.

The specific message that comes on it is “No Signal” for about 15 seconds before switching to “Power Saving” for 3 seconds and shutting down. Turning it back on takes several button presses, as one press won’t do it seems like, but that may be a quirk of the monitor as I think the returned KYY had the same issue.

The monitor I am working on trying to get running is an “Alolg” monitor, specifically this one. Of which advertises a very simple plug and play usage, and some mini videos I’ve seen seem to show as easy as plugging in the USB-C and it working. However, when connecting said USB-C to the PC it does not seem to be the case. I have also tried plugging in HDMI to my working monitor. Tried plugging USB-C into direct power. And of course combinations of these (plugged into both main monitor and PC, plugged into wall and PC, plugged into wall and monitor, ect.) I’m using a starforge PC if that changes/helps anything. I have also tried using a different USB-B other than the one this came with to no avail as well.

The only thing I haven’t been able to try is HDMI directly into the PC (as my PC only has one port for that apparently, which I am using for my actual main monitor, meaning I’d have to go find a plugin that lets you do more than one HDMI if so, but again, videos seem to indicate just being able to plug in with USB-C and be fine so I’m hoping I don’t have to buy a whole new plugin JUST for this too.)

On the PC side, attempting to “detect” the monitor also yields no results as it seems like it’s just not being recognized at all.

Anyways, let me know if anyone gets the problem (or if it IS the HDMI thing, or what) I tried to be thorough in explaining everything but let me know if more is needed!

(Pictures are of the monitor itself with the “no signal” thing when connected both HDMI and USB-C, showing how I plugged the HDMI into the main monitor (right of the two, one in middle), and how I plugged on Starforge for USB-C)

Hey yall, I play on Xbox Series X (currently) with my Innocn 25M2S monitor (1440p 240Hz mini LED IPS 24.5”). Most other online games I’ve played look fine, but I play Fortnite often and I’ve been noticing since I’ve had it that motion looks REALLY weird, and just like.. shit. Tracking enemies genuinely feels like a struggle because they’re a bunch of dark jittery blurs zipping on my screen, I used to play on a TN 27” 144Hz and I never had any complaints.

And yes, I have tried all different overdrive/MPCS (motion picture clarity settings) and nothing looks that good. And I prefer to have MPCS off because I tend to get more eye strain from it. And no local dimming isn’t on.

I’m wondering why I feel this way, is it because I used to be a TN player then swapped to IPS? Is it because I’m playing a 120Hz console on a 240Hz screen?

It was working completely fine last night with no issues, this morning it was working just fine so I shut it down. Came back from work, turned everything on and now it's got this!?

No cleaners, no stains, no direct sunlight, you and cpu are fine, what gives?! Is the monitor just breaking...

My new job is allowing me to get a 49” monitor for my GIS work and I was looking at Samsung Odyssey monitors. I was wondering if getting a OLED monitor that is 1800R worth it lore should I just get a non OLED monitor that is 1000R so it won’t burn in. Just want to know if the difference for those I big like with the curve and if OLED for work will burn in quick?

Had the LG 32GS95 for just over a year with these specs

4070 Ti Super
7800X3D
32GB 6000 DDR5

It’s a really good monitor but I think I’ve decided that 4k is just needlessly hard to drive to higher rrs for what it is. I can hit 100-150fps in modern games with DLSS which is fine I guess but it’s not leaving me anything in the tank.

I had a 1440 ultrawide previously and I think 1440 is the sweet spot.

Would I be mad to sell it and move to the ASUS ROG SWIFT 1440/720 tandem dual mode?

I use the lower res modes for CS2 mainly (or other esports titles), and I’ve heard complaints that 720p is just too shit these days. The 1080 mode on my LG by comparison is fine, but given its 32 inch I wouldn’t wanna play anything other than esports titles at 1080 so I’m forced into 4k for everything else.

Anyone use the ASUS for CS2 that can chime in? How’s the 720 mode? Too low res to be useful? Gimmick?

If only 1440 scaled nicely with 1080 lol.

I have an Arzopa-27 monitor which serves me pretty well but I wanted to buy an oled monitor for working with Nuke X DaVinci and other softwares where colour accuracy is important, but I don’t really know much about monitors and all of that. I wanted a Oled bc ppl say the contrasts are really incredible and that they work great with HDR.
I’d probably still play some games on my 1440p bc 4K is kinda heavy but itd be great for working with vfx.

Basically, what are some good monitors that arent like 1000 euros that I could look for? 😅

Im. loosing. my. mind!

I currently own both the current gen datacolor spyder, as well as the Calibrite Display Pro HL, both respective softwares and displayCAL on top of that.

None of them can calibrate anything HDR. ChatGPT says i would NEED to use windows to calibrate my display (TCL C8L) and import that lut onto my TV (which i can with DDC). To check if that does anything for me working on mac i would need to run the TCL on my mac and start a color analysis with my windows PC color checking the TCL running on my mac (because the software needed for that only runs on windows - colorspace?).

Is that right so far?
That cant be the only way, right??

I would be over the moon if i could atleast measure my TCL using my Macbook tbh, any average delta e under 2,5 in HDR is plenty fine for what i do, but i would need to atleast be able to measure it.

Any quick and easy ICC profile calibration for HDR (if that even works at all lol) would probably also work.

Im having more and more question the longer im in this never ending god forsaken rabbit hole. Hoe can you even calibrate anything apple with EDR and HDR?

Is there any quick and easy way to measure my current delta es on the TCL with my macbook and current hardware?

Could someone give me some advice?

Hi,

Is any monitored considered the best in the 27” category right now?

Thanks for any help I really appreciate it

Hey guys, i’m looking to get a new oled monitor. Never had one but i’m not sure if i should get a 1440 or a 4k monitor.

Looking for a 32 but wasn’t sure if 4k is worth it for frame drops?

I have a 5080 and a 9850 x3d with 32g ram.

So im sure my pc would handle 4k just fine just wanted a 2nd opinion before it keeps driving me insane on what to do.

Thanks in advance guys,

I'm looking to upgrade from my ROG XG27ACS to an OLED monitor. Some requirements for the monitor are that it can't be fully glossy (my set up is directly at a window and I have very little control of lighting), at least 1440p (4k suggestions are welcome but it's chill either way) 16:9 27", good ergonomics/adjustability, and less necessary but I'd like if it had a USB-C connector on the back.
I mostly play singleplayer RPGs (Red Dead, Cyberpunk 2077) and I don't care heaps about super high refresh rates but at least 180 or feels reasonable (I could be wrong).

I've looked into a lot of the ROG XG series and I quite like these -- especially over the P series -- but I've found that they're either glossy (or don't say), super expensive ($1000 AUD + on sale), or unavailable in Australia.

If anyone could recommend something or tell me which ROG X series isn't fully glossy or at least decent in settings where light is out of my control that'd be greatly appreciated.

I am based in Australia and my budget is about $1k AUD.
Thank you :)

So I purchased an OLED monitor from an online retailer in the UK. I finally got around to setting it up approx 18 days after delivery.

I noticed there were some dead pixels so contacted them. They asked for images which I provided and they said although faulty (he could see 4 dead pixels) it falls within the tolerance range for ASUS monitors (of 5 dead pixels).

They said they’d speak to their manager to see if I could return as ‘no longer required’ who agreed but said I’d have to pay for return costs - this works out at £60!

Where do I stand here?! I know that UK law states 30 days for faulty, but they will argue that the tolerance for the monitors is 5 dead pixels.

I’ve bought an AOC Q27G42XE monitor. When gaming, I sometimes see a pixel grid when there’s movement – it’s almost imperceptible, but it’s quite noticeable after using a 24-inch, 75 Hz Acer VG240Y with 108 ppi at 180 Hz. Is this normal? Do I just need to get used to it?
