As an early birthday present for myself, I bought an Acer XZ342CU Ultrawide for $300 on Amazon. IPS and 180 Hz, which is my preference anyways. Top monitor is an Acer XV272U, also IPS and 170 Hz. Added in the vertical mount, which has opened up a lot of space on my desk.

Looking to get my gf a monitor but keeping it under $300 (CAD). She wants better color so IPS is the way to go but the resolution is most likely gonna be 2560x1440, such as an LG 32GP 750, 850 etc. I know its pixel density will be lower but would the color be worth it over a VA? I've seen plenty of VA panels with the ultra wide resolution for around $300. Are there any VA panels out there that look close to or as good as an IPS even with it's lower pixel count? Or won't she be happy and probably not notice the resolution being an issue or 16:9 since that's what she currently plays on.

I've had this monitor for awhile and not sure if i've ever seen it run to its full potential. Seems to look great in games but when playing movies/shows from Plex it seems lacking compared to my LG C2 OLED.

check out this video i captured...what i'm seeing is when i'm watching a video in full screen on plex and I pause it and go out of full screen the colors and lighting look amazing! However that's the only time I see this. If i resume playback it'll go back to washed out as before.

To note I am playing SDR content, it's not HDR source material. I'll test with an actual HDR file and see what happens but seems like something is processing it over to those nice colors.

I can post all my settings ect just let me know what I should put that helps.

Is it just me or does the Dell U4025QW have wider than normal bezels compared to their other ultrasharp displays? I was watching some review videos and the bezels look a bit wider than usual compared to their other monitors / LG monitors.

I have a Samsung Neo G9 that I want to sell in order to upgrade to an oled ultrawide. I’ve tried to sell local but haven’t had any success. I was thinking about posting it on r/hardwareswap. Does anyone have experience selling and shipping something that large? Is it worth the potential headache? I’m located in the US if that makes a difference.

Hi guys I have a question and I hope you help me

I have an LG 34WQ650 which these days I have heard a small buzzing sound right where the power supply is connected, I don't know if it is normal but it is worth taking into account several points

-The sound can only be heard if I put my ear close -Is connected to a UPS since it was connected -Already tested plugged directly into the power outlet and the sound is always there -The sound is only heard when it is turned off but connected to the electric current, if it is turned on the sound disappears

If you help me to know if it's normal but ask for a warranty from the store

Thank you

Any recommendations on a smaller monitor to pair with my Samsung Odyssey G9 49" monitor? I am planning on mounting it above the UW but looking for something with the same curve angle because I have a little OCD. Think of something in the 27" range mostly to use as second monitor for discord or other applications while gaming on the UW.

My new credit card will give me $200 off one, taking the price to 489, currently. I do a lot of Photoshop (it'll be the main usage), a little gaming, and Youtube / productivity stuff. I've never bought a truely killer monitor (read: $800+) for color accuracy, just as long as it's IPS and a step above typical $150 monitors.

Will this one suit me or is it better to look at something else? Would be a shame to throw away that credit into something else. Reviews seem mixed about whether or not it'd work well for my uses, but they all say it's an awesome monitor overall.

Thanks!

Just wanted to get this out there since I didn’t see any posts myself. Dell released M3B107 yesterday. If you’re a dwf owner get that installed!

Assuming: I am boycotting Samsung, and 32:9 is too tiny for my old eyes, and I want OLED, and 49" might be a bit to wide for my desk, what would y'all recommend so I may join the Ultrawide Masterrace?

Hi all,

I have 3956 hours (eco on) on my aw3423dw (M0B105) and I have never been prompted to do a panel refresh. Now, I have had the Auto Warning Message set to 'off' since pretty much day 1, so I assume this is why have not seen a prompt?

I know the pixel refresh runs even if prompt is off - and I know that has been running as it should.

But, I have never seen my power button flash red like it does during a panel refresh - so I am not sure if one has ever been completed.

All the searching I have done turns up results of people getting the warning message and initiating a panel refresh from there (or manually initiating a day or so later). But I have not seen anything stating if a panel refresh will happen own its own.

Does anyone know if it will?

Wondering if it has happened while the monitor was off and I was not around.

Is there a way to tell if a panel refresh has ever been run?

As the title says. I just installed my Tab S8+ below my G9, and I'm using SuperDisplay to project to it. I am essentially the tablet for Teams and Discord. However, Teams activity can go idle for an hour or so at times and I only use my main monitor. Is this a recipe for burn-in?

Had the monitor for a few months. Has anyone else seen this happen. If I remove the broken cover I probably could still use the button normally

I have an odyssey g9 and cannot get it to display anything. Even the osd will not show. I’ve seen some other posts but haven’t found out anything about the reason for this or how I might be able to fix it. I’ve already tried resetting the monitor as well as trying all of the inputs.

It is not in warranty anymore and I can imagine the Samsung tech that gets sent out would charge an arm and a leg so I’m wondering if anyone knew anything about how I could fix it myself. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

(My pc has a 3080 ti and ryzen 5 5600x3d, laptop has 12th gen i7 and 3060 with hdmi 2.1- neither of them work with the monitor in case anyone was wondering about specs)

Just got my first ultra-wide, curved monitor. I'd always thought both ultra-wide and curved monitors were heresy, that it just wouldn't work. After just a day of gaming on it, I'm a convert. Never felt so immersed in gaming before, it filling up my peripheral just makes me feel like I'm properly in the game. 3D always gave me headaches, so this feeling is a real revelation to me. Can't explain it, everything feels new!

Hi guys, after a long time looking for posts to answer my questions I’m forced to invoke the ultrawide master race! I’m looking to upgrade from my beloved 29” LG 1080p IPS monitor to a 34” 1440p one. I use the monitor 80% for gaming (flight simulators, mainly DCS) and 20% work/productivity. It’s the QD-OLED price range worth it? Here in spain AW3423DWF is around 1000€ right now and I’m very tempted to buy it. Or should I go for the mid range more affordable S3422DWG? Is it worth the price difference? Do you have any other recommendations?

Thank you! :)

Hello! I was trying to perform a firmware upgrade on my Alienware AW3423DWF, but I don't know what I'm missing, I have the USB Type-B upstream port directly conected to my PC, I don't have any other USB or another monitor conected to my PC. But when I open the software to upgrade the firmware, it is not recognizing my monitor.

Can you guys help me?

Hello,

I recently got this mainly for work. When I connect my laptop via HDMI, everything looks exactly how I'd expect. But in the smart hub or using an app like Netflix, the screen is cropped to this size. I can't change anything in the settings like zoom to fit or screen ratio in this mode. They're greyed out and tell me that functionality isn't available. Is this how y'all would expect it to look? Thanks for your help.

Ive used the auction site for a while and once in a while the item is broken and has to be returned, but I've built a computer and have other monitors that I've had for a year now. I have a LG oled 48" ultragear monitor I'm using now I got from them so I wasn't exactly in the market for a new monitor. But I won a bid I threw earlier in the week for a total of 920 Canadian after fees and tax.

Welp turns out I now own a g9 oled 49" ultrawide. No stand, but the price was right. What will I do with the ultragear 48? no damn clue, maybe a monitor as a tv for consoles? I've missed ultrawide so it's 100% my daily now.

Any good stand recommendations? My current oled is on a floor tv stand with my desk in front. I could use that but potentially could use a wall mount also - however steel studs in the walls so not sure of the holding power there.

Appreciate a lot of the posts are for gaming or video editing. I would be using a bigger monitor for work. Mainly working in Excel. What sensible options would people suggest as a good investment?

Currently have one of these: https://amzn.eu/d/hz781UZ

Thanks

I had a quick question for the deities here. I've been using the Odyssey Neo G9 for a while now and I'm planning on going with an arm. I realised that I received a special bracket with the monitor way back then specifically for wall mounting. Do I need that with the Ergotron HX?

I figured I didn't but can't hurt to check. If anyone is curious I'll be using the Heavy Duty tilt pivot with it.

Thanks for taking the time!

Hi I'm thinking of getting the G9 49" but was wondering will my laptop have an issue? I currently have the G8 34" and it seems fine.

Does anyone know how to adjust brightness settings when using PBP on the G95SC?

Outside of a couple of features (USB HUB, Bendable display, probably slightly better build quality) can't see how the Xeneon flex is almost double the price of this right now...

So I just purchased a Samsung Odyessy G9 OLED (G95SC) a coupe of days ago and so far I’m loving it except for one thing. Whenever text is white and has a darker color background or vice versa, it’ll sometimes get super pixelated to the point of it being jarring. Is there any way to make it less egregious?
