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.

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.

First, I'd like to make it clear that this app is fully vibe coded using Opus 5.5.

If you use an external monitor with a Mac, you've probably noticed text looks kind of soft/pixelated compared to when you hook it to a windows machine.

MacOS only does its "Retina" (HiDPI) rendering on displays it considers high-res, and for a lot of monitors it offers few or no sharp scaled sizes at all. Which was the case on my 2560x1440 Asus monitor (VG27AQ3A)

Well, I was wondering if Claude can make something for me to solve this and it made "CrispMac" a very straightforward app to solve this issue.

To my understanding (which is very limited), the way it's turning on HiDPI mode is by telling macOS "Hey draw everything at 4k then shrink it down to fit my 2K monitor" and suddenly everything looks much sharper lol.

those photos aren't the greatest but I hope you can see the difference there, it's way more noticeable when you try it yourself.

It also keeps your monitor's full refresh rate in sharp mode (144Hz on mine). Instead of dropping it down to 60Hz.

I've only tested it on my own machine and my own monitor, there is a chance that it won't work for you, but the project is simple enough for you to hand it to your AI agent and ask it to modify it so it works for your own setup.

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

Like in the title, what do you think about VA mini-led monitors?

Sadly (at last for now) there isn't much to choose from, when it comes to mini-led monitors, we have only a few monitors rn, one of them is xiomi IPS monitor (which from what i heard is HORRIBLE), and the rest of them are VA monitors.

Do you think that they are worth it? I have somehow dark room, my plan is to use this monitor for daily-life usage (studying,watching movies etc.) but i'm a little scared about colors, cuz i heard that on IPS colors are a lot better than on VA monitors.

But how does it looks when it comes to VA mini-led monitors? I know that mini-leds doesn't "remove" their cons, but does they somehow balance them a little bit or smth?

Maybe is there anything i should know about before i decide to buy VA mini-led ?

This is one of the monitors, on which i'm thinking about: AOC Q27G3XMN/BK

Also i heard that this model is very, very bright, does anybody knows how would it look in somehow dark room? I know that in bright room this monitor looks fantastic, but i'm a little scared how would it work in my example.

I am planning to buy dell monitor s2725qs today. I want to buy desk monitor arm for it but dont know which one to get. I dont want to spend a lot of money. Which one is like the cheapest option but it serves a purpose.

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?

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.

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?

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.

What are good arm options for a large monitor?

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a good day. I’m currently in the market for a monitor. I don’t really know a lot but I am watching videos and trying to learn. I’ll give some information about my setup and hopefully be helpful. After that will be my requirements and then some concerns.

My setup

Graphics card : RTX 4060 but it’s a laptop one
Watts: 125W
Laptop Hertz: 165 Hz (it’s beautiful but too small to game on)
Connection: I’m ok with doing HDMI or USB C as my laptop supports both. However if I do USB C, I have to do it through a hub (I own a cheap one) as I need it for my Ethernet. If this is a big problem, please let me know.

Needs

Use Case: Productivity and Gaming
Size: 27 inch. I’m used to a curved one but I don’t mind changing
Hertz: Anything over 180 is fine. I know it’s not the most specific but I’ve used a 60 hertz monitor for the past 5+ years.
Resolution: I’m used to 1080P but if I can somehow get a 1440p or higher, that would be cool. 1080 isn’t the end of the world.
Type: IPS or OLED
Budget: 300-500 USD. I would prefer to pay more if it’s OLED so I’m going to look at deals from now till Christmas.
Stand: I saw a lot of reviews saying that stand matters. There’s a 99.99% chance that I put it on my monitor arm. But apparently some monitors don’t come with the VESA mounting gear. I would like if it had one.

Concerns

1. OLED Burn
I’ve wanted an OLED monitor for a while but in previous years it’s been too expensive and concerns about OLED burn. It seems like recent monitors don’t have that issue and companies are giving good warranties. Still I don’t want to worry about it too much.

2. Text
I’ve seen a lot of videos that text is really hard to read on OLEDS. I read a lot on my monitor so I would like for text to be good.

3. Compatibility
Obviously every monitor will work but I would like to be able to use it to its full potential. If I buy a monitor that for example is 500 hertz, my graphics card needs to be able to power it. I do plan on building a PC in the next 2-3 years and I don’t swap monitors often, but would like for it to work with my setup.

Thank you so much for helping. While it is long, I tried to give as much detail as I can. Some parts aren’t as specific but honestly anything’s an upgrade to my old 60 hertz monitor.

Edit: Meant OLED burn, not Bleed

Hi there, looking to get a 32 inch monitor I can use for my PC but also as a ‘TV’ (watch streaming sites whilst in bed lol). I work in production/content creation so good visuals/colours are a MUST.

What I’m looking for:

0.03ms refresh rate
144+ Hz
31.5/32 inches
NOT CURVED
Good amount of ports to connect PC, consoles, etc.
Good colours (I work in graphics/content creation)
I do NOT want to spend ANYTHING CLOSE to 1k (GBP)
Good for PC gaming AND console

Hi,

I’ve started studying law at university.

I need a monitor for working with PDF and Word files.

After a lot of searching, I’ve narrowed it down to two monitors that both offer 218 PPI, though they use different panel technologies:

The G8 (which uses an IPS panel) and the 27GM950B-B 5K (which uses a Mini-LED panel).

The difference between the screens is $320, which is a fairly significant amount (The G8 is more cheap).

This monitor will be used strictly for work.

P.S. I have a MacBook Pro M5—in case that’s relevant.

1440p 27 inch or 1080p 27 inch for series s I play a lot of shooting and sports games. Wondering what’s best price wise and what’s gonna look the best. Also what’s the difference between VA and ips monitors? Explain to me any recommendations you might have. Thank you.

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?

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? 😅

Could someone give me some advice?

Hi,

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