I own the MO34wqc gigabyte ultra wide and have only have it a few hours, but every time I go on the OLED care section it’s just stuck saying activating. Any ideas??

I have a 49” Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SD, DQHD, 240Hz, model LS49DG954SNXGO) and a 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 chip. I’m using a Silkland USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 adapter ([8K@60Hz, 4K@240Hz, HDR]) to connect the MacBook to the monitor’s DisplayPort input. However, I’m unable to achieve the full 5120x1440 resolution. The display looks stretched, and it’s frustrating because this high-end monitor doesn’t even include a Thunderbolt port—something even much cheaper monitors offer via USB-C. I’m using a separate cable to charge the MacBook. How can I fix the resolution issue so I can feel better about this purchase?

I am looking to buy a 34-38 inch, IPS screen, curved preferably, and 600 dollars or below. Are there any monitors you all would recommend with this range?

Hey everyone! I'm currently researching before purchasing an ultrawide monitor and could use some advice. I'm looking at 49" models since most of my time is spent on homelab tasks and development, but i do a fair bit of gaming also.

I'm running an i9-9900K with an RTX 3070, and my current setup includes three 27" monitors (center in landscape, with the two sides in portrait). I realize my 3070 WILL struggle with modern games on a 49" ultrawide, but I’m curious:

• Is it possible to replicate similar performance as i get now by restricting the display area with software while gaming? I know the FAQ mentions this but im wondering what the experience is like.

I know this question was probably not well said, and if it breaks a rule, im sorry for that. But, i appreciate any info you may have!

Hello,

I have a m1 mba and I use it as a moonlight client to stream from my local RTX host. My setup is as follow:

m1 <-- thunderbolt 3 usbc --> lenovo TB3 dock gen 2 <-- 4K 240Hz usbc to DP cable --> 4K Monitor.

Before black friday, I have the LG27GN950 4K 144Hz monitor and I was able to enable both HDR and VRR in the setting and had a great time streaming.

However, after I upgraded to the MSI MAG 321UP 4K 165Hz monitor yesterday, the exact same setup only allows me to select 60 Hz, 120Hz, or VRR (48-120Hz) with no 165Hz option. To troubleshoot, I replaced the m1 with a X1Carbon Windows laptop and was able to enable 165Hz refresh rate with HDR and VRR (it has a intel iris xe igpu).

I have used betterdisplay to confirm that the m1 is using 10-bit RGB. So with DSC it should be able to achieve 4K@165Hz like the windows machine did. So at this point I am wondering if this is a MasOS constrain where apple just simply did not allow this particular combination? I searched both google and reddit and seems like no one was able to do it as this might be a extremely niche configuration. Any help would be much appreciated and thank you in advance!

The X1C's fan goes crazy during streaming so if I could get the m1 mba to work that would be the best client for remote streaming!

As an fyi for everyone, the G9 OLED does support 3.5mm audio by using one of the USB-C ports! So you can connect external speakers with a cheap apple usbc dac :)

To make sure it always outputs change the setting Connection > External device manager > USB source setup > Monitor

Hopefully this PSA helps someone!!

I have been looking at the Samsung Odyssey G9 for probably over a year at this point and was all set to get this once I wanted to pull the trigger. Fast forward to today and I was in a store looking for gifts and just wanted to see if they had the Odyssey there to see it in person. I found the LG 45" monitor while I was looking around and was very impressed.

I ended up talking to a few employees and they pointed me to an LED Odyssey G9 and honestly...I was underwhelmed. I now the OLED will be brighter and more vibrant but the ratio is what threw me off. The LG felt very immersive. The Odyssey seemed almost TOO wide and then not tall enough. I will mainly be using this for gaming (I'd say 90-95% of the time, the other time would be spent working from home on the rare days I can work remotely).

Has anyone had both or even can anyone that has either of them tell me how their experience has been? My gut is telling me to go with the LG now but I also don't want to be impulsive just because I saw it in person recently.

One specific question I had: I heard you can treat the Odyssey as multiple screens so I can have a game in the center and than two windows on either side. Is that true? And if it is, does anyone know if you can do that with theLG? Or if it even makes sense given the more narrow screen?

My other concern is if I even have a powerful enough computer to take advantage of the screens. I built it a few years ago and have a RTX 3080, 32 GB of RAM and an Intel i9-9900K. Not a weak PC but obviously a little outdated compared to where it was a few years ago when I originally built it.

There are a lot of 34" OLEDs out there and I am having a difficult time picking between the many options available. In particular, I would like to get something with the best finish/build quality. Can you help me choose?

Corsair Xeneon 34WQHD240-C

LG Ultragear 34''

Alienware AW3423DWF

Samsung 34 OLED LS34DG850SNXZA

ASUS ROG Swift 34”

MSI MPG 341CQPX

These are some of the popular models I've found available, if there's any others to consider please let me know.

Hi, I'm looking for a monitor that is good for work and gaming (mostly work) that is curved ultrawide(21:9), 120+hz refresh rate, with free sync and thunderbolt 4. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hello all, i need help deciding between those mentioned monitors.

Little note: These are the 2 models in my price range that are available in my local computer stores. They are both around $1000 USD and buying from amazon/newegg is NOT an option as shipping to me (South East Asia) will cost around $400+ USD alone (just checked amazon).

I have been gaming on an Asus LCD 29" 4K 60 FPS monitor since 2016 so over 8 years and hence i am skeptical of downgrading to 1440p now. It seems like i am going back in time.

My personal preference was Odyssey Neo G7 but it is not available in my region and i have watched reviews that Odyssey Neo G8 suffers from scanlines issues.

If you were buying which one of the two would you prefer?

And i know someone might ask so here are my PC specs:

Ryzen 7 9800X3D

64GB 6000 MHz CL30 RAM

Radeon 7900XTX

Primary purpose of the monitor will be gaming, secondary watching media and usual internet stuff.

Hey there, I'm interested in the Samsung 57" monitor with the double 4K resolution for home office.

My employer gave me a Dell docking station which only support DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0.

I don't care much for the 240Hz refresh rate but could I run this resolution at 60Hz?

so I have seen/read multiple posts on this issue but I still haven't gotten DLDSR to work on my system.

My monitor's native resolution is 3440x1440. Reading through other posts it seems that enabling DLDSR should give me the following resolutions ->

1.78x gives 4587x1920

2.25x gives 5160x2160

But I get ->

1.78x gives 5120x2880

2.25x gives 5760x3240

Enabling any of theses resolutions looks horrendous. In another thread someone suggested disconnecting any 2nd and 3rd monitors. I have tried that. Rebooted my PC and re-enabled DLDSR but the problem is still persisting. Any ideas?

Has anyone seen anyone breakdown the best way to use the space? I see most people use a tablet or small screen center for chat I guess. So far I been just stacking three browser windows and trying to group different set of tabs in each of the three windows. That plus virtual desktops to divide work and play. Any help here will be rewarded via enough sheckles to buy a coffee:)

I currently use BetterDisplay to get 5120x1440p HiDPI @ 60Hz. Did anyone figure out how to get 120Hz while still using 1440p HiDPI?

I love the monitor but it was 1.500€ and I can‘t make use of the high refresh rate..

Looking for some help here, same old song and dance we’ve seen on many other threads.

I mainly play Destiny 2 & Fortnite (using a controller) and am looking to upgrade my monitor. I am between the 49” Samsung G95SD and the 34” MSI MPG 341CQPX. This will be my first ultrawide monitor.

In my opinion I would say I am competitive. Winning and performing well are my #1 concerns. Pumping out the most frames my PC can offer matters the most and I turn the quality settings all the way down in Fortnite and Destiny to get the best performance.

I’ve attached my PC’s specs and my current monitor (I’ve now upgraded to Windows 11). Does anyone have an opinion as to which one I should choose? (Ignoring the cost of each)

I've just got this new monitor, it's very good looking, has no ghosting that I notice, colours are great etc.. it's my first UW.

I'm having an issue with freesync though, if I turn it on. I'll notice in Firefox that the grey background as an example will slowly get brighter or darker over 2 seconds every now and then. I've been trouble shooting a while and can't seem to solve it and Google's horrible search function is bringing up nothing.

This goes away as soon as I turn freesync off though. I'm not sure if it's typical flickering because it doesn't really happen in games besides a little bit in menus, any ideas? Is this a panel issue? Bit annoying because it's got no bad pixels or anything.

Ive read about it. Is this already considered as burn in? Can i gix it somehow or is my monitor already doomed after 3 weeks of use? Would also like to hear about your favorite settings, since im not using for that lang yet. :p

I can't find an option to turn off image shift on my OLED G9, anyone else with the same issue or is it just not avaliable for my model?

Hey fellow redditors, looking to but myself a gaming monitor do any of you have any personal experience with this particular one?

So this part of the screen keeps flashing when th camera is at few places. I wanted to know how I can remove this issue.

Only real quirk is sometimes it doesn't like to be detected, but unplugging and replugging the dp cable fixes it 100% of the time. Firmware has never been updated because I would hate to make it worse somehow. I don't use hdr at all because it's never looked great, that might be user error though. Overall I still really enjoy it, would obviously prefer triples if I had the space though.

Finally made the switch to ultra wide from my Lg ultra gear 27inch (had 3 of them side by side)

Just turned it on and it looks so white washed and low quality

Is this just how they are or am I missing something lol

I have a 3080 TI

Tried playing wukong and it looks like ass

Is there something I can do or am I returning this 50 pound piece of shit?

Well I know Samsung isn't the fav if it comes to monitors, but my assumption is the delivery guy wasn't careful enough, because he basically ran the stairs up, way more than he should. Did look like he was very stressed and maybe something did happen there, so it was like a ticking bomb?

I don't know... however I contacted Samsung, because I bought directly from there. I've had to call the support twice, because the first guy on phone just hung up on my face while I was describing the issue. I was REALLY mad.... called immediately again, another guy so I was normal and just said hi. The second guy was very very friendly and extreme helpful.

tl;dr they are sending technician to me and they will change the display right here at my home.

Beside of this issue, my experience was actually very pleasant. The image quality couldn't be better and I hope after repair it will last long enough :) Until it's getting repaired, I use my old Neo G8 and it feels so weird.... like something is missing, I'm restricted.... 32:9 is by far the best gaming experience I don't wanna miss again.

Cuz of Christmas I don't know how long will take the repair, but as soon as it's repaired, I will report here how everything went. What they said, what they did and maybe I get more info to share. :)

This has been like this since I bought it. Any idea what it is?

Thanks in advance.

So i play on xbox (series s) and am looking for an ultrawide monitor with 120hz+ and 1440p for under $280, and this is the best one ive found: https://www.amazon.com/Sceptre-34-Inch-Ultrawide-DisplayPort-C345B-QUT168/dp/B0BTK1C533 , but my xbox only has an hdmi, no DP. The monitors hdmi only hits 100hz and the DP hits 165hz so i found this adapter https://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Directional-Compatible-Displays-Type-HDF/dp/B0BYXB5ZRL/ , with this hdmi cord https://www.amazon.com/Silkland-Certified-Upgrade-Compatible-TV-6-6ft/dp/B0CQP2XNYR/ . So i was wondering if all this will allow me to have 120hz with 1440p with this monitor
