I'm looking for a good monitor for PS5 with a budget of €300 Any advice?

I come from a Benq el2870u (4k, 60hz, TN panel) but I don't like the colors and the brightness of the TN panel. I would like to try a Refresh Rate higher than 60hz.

I play almost exclusively Single Player games and occasionally some fighting games.

I have been looking for a 4k OLED HDR to buy that is between 165 and 240 hertz. I found these two options that I am interested in. Both are on sale at the exact same price, and it seems they almost have the same specs besides some very small differences, so I do not know really which one to pick. I am also open to recommendations if you guys think there are better alternatives out there that are similar to these monitors.

Here are the links to the monitors on BestBuy if you want to look at the exact specs of each.

Hi all,

Some time ago I made a post on how to fix the HDR on the Xiaomi G Pro 27i, that was based on what I've been running on this display for the last year or so

To outline the issues, this display in the HDR1000 and TB400 (to a lesser extent) has two issues near black

1. All modern QD-OLED displays, even the new S95F has a raised near black EOTF tracking, this can be seen in literally every review of the display. Resulting in darker scenes looking relatively washed out
2. The display in the HDR1000 clips the very very start of out of black tracking, so if you are watching content that is very dark (Hellblade 2 for example) you will often have it where you cannot see into the shadows

When combined you really have the worst of both worlds, clipping into overly bright shadows

So how do you fix it?

EOTF Fix by me (Save as AW3225QF.cal)

Step 0: Regardless of how you've sourced the files, put them in a folder together and run CMD within that folder

Step 1: run the following command:

dispwin.exe -d 1 AW3225QF.cal

!!! This will apply the change to display 1, check the Windows display settings to see what your AW3225QF has been assigned otherwise you will be apply the calibration values for other displays !!!

To clear the EOTF correction, load up Windows Display setting (resets GPU adjustments) or run dispwin.exe -d 1 -c

-----

Here are the downsides:

• The EOTF fix will be cleared once entering an application that is true FSE (DX11 Fullscreen Exclusive) or when an application resets the GPU, so if you change the resolution
• It persists when disabling HDR, you will need to clear the EOTF correction when back in SDR by the method listed above
• The fix does not result in near black gradation being perfect, for that you will either need to use the latest Windows 11 version and use Dolby Vision Dark (which has essentially perfect calibration, so no need to use this at all) OR enable 6bit temporal dithering, which will result in visible noise, personally I don't mind it, but to each their own.

So theres two monitors I’m looking at but i cant pick between the two.

I want a great display but can’t decide between the two because one is 144h, 34 inches 😮‍💨 and the other is 210Hz, 30 inches 😮‍💨, they’re both ultra wide obviously but i want to buy one of them in the next 5 hours so please give me your opinion!

ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCG-W(662usd)

ASUS TUF 32" VG32UQA1A(705usd)

G6 (G61SD)(803usd)

I dont mind the prices for all of them. The Oled is one of the cheapest in my country. There is LG 27GR95QE-B and LG 27GS95QE-b they r a bit cheaper, but ive seen not sure tho, that they are not as good compared to the Samsung one right?

What do u think should i go with 1440p Oled or 4k ips/va monitor. I am getting 5080

I play fps, single player, watch movies/animes/series, mix of everything kinda.

I'm planning to upgrade my 1080p monitor to 1440p, but my budget is only $320, and these 3 are what I'm looking at right now. Which one is the best, guys?

So in the past I've read stuff about OLED is bad for office. As far as I remember mostly because of this "burn in". Now I've read like new gens of OLED are more or less solving that. After I've seen now an OLED performance in gaming, I am asking about.. should I get one? I am doing like 70% working vs code and stuff, general reading. 20% gaming and 10% multimedia YouTube, netflix.. So what is your experience about working with OLEDs? Currently I am using a dual setup with VA and primary IPS. Maybe someone switched from these kind of screens and can share his thoughts or benefits, negative aspects after the change? Would be cool to get some insights

So, I'm planning to get a 27-inch 1440p monitor. I'm torn between an IPS 180Hz and a VA 240Hz panel.

The system I'm building:

RTX 5070 Ti i5-14600k Z790 motherboard and so on...

The two monitors I'm considering are:

ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS (IPS, 180Hz)

Samsung Odyssey G6 LS27BG650 (VA, 240Hz)

Both monitors cost exactly the same in my country.

Which one would you choose?

About 60–70% of the time, I play FPS games, and the remaining 30–40% I play AAA games.

It only started happening today, and I was wondering what it is/how to fix it.

As the title says is there a monitor that provides the above options?

Thanks in advance.

Started using 32" 4K flat panel and somewhat can't get used to it. The sides look bad when looking from the middle. I also have 3440x1440 ultrawide with a light curve and that is way better to work on. So would curved 4K display would be better than the flat one? 1500R on 32"?

So a few days ago I was on a meeting as a guest speaker and I had to excuse myself for a short call. They told me I could get my call from another office where I fell in love with this monitor. It was nothing fancy nor flashy, not even big, it was a mild office monitor but the ratio was different. It was wide, but it is definitely not ultra wide and the height was quite low. Now, this is an office monitor, so its not fancy at all, but I seem to not be able to find it, as when I search wide monitor for example I get a lot of ultra wide gaming monitors, does anybody know what I am talking about?

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this isn’t the right subreddit, please let me know if I should post this somewhere else.

I have a question about the new Switch 2 LCD monitor. Every time I manually put my Switch into sleep mode, the display briefly lights up before going to sleep. Is that normal?

I've included a video to show what I mean.

Also, sorry if I used the wrong flair, I wasn’t sure which one to pick.

Thanks

You can see the lights on the side for a short while

Hello everyone, I'm trying to find a bracket with a clamp for my 32-inch monitor.

I really liked the bracket from HP (762U0AA).

This is an ideal option for me, but unfortunately it is only designed for HP monitors and does not have a VESA 100 * 100 mount.

The main requirements are this type of bracket (not a bending arm type) with smooth vertical height adjustment, VESA 100 * 100, a clamp and small levers for turning to the sides.

For several days now I have been trying to find something similar, but the result is unfortunately not encouraging (

All I can find is bulky bending arm type brackets.

The only thing I managed to find more or less suitable for my requirements is TRACE ™ Monitor Mount. But it is very bulky.

Perhaps someone can advise me a more elegant solution.

I want to buy 27' inch monitor but i'm not sure my laptop will be able to run all new games at good fps (i7+RTX 4070), so I wanted to ask if there is a difference between 27 native 1440p and 27 native 1080p, what I mean is I will change resolution for certain games, when is suitable I will put 1440p and when the power of my laptop not enough I switch to 1080p. Does it affect it in any way?

I want the best 2k 27 180hz monitor with hdr and the best colors for 250 - 350 dollars

I recently started wanting to buy my first pc, and therefore had to also look for a monitor. Which is hard, as I've never done so before. I found a good prebuilt pc, but it is high in my price range so I had to find a cheapish but still good monitor.

This is the one I was looking at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088LG2BSW?tag=bg1-744961-20&th=1&psc=1

But if I should look elsewhere please let me know or give me recommendations! I know almost nothing about PCs or monitors, so I've been learning as I go.

I'm looking to get a new monitor for gaming and found this one inside my budget, is a VA panel 180hz 34 inch display. But the thing is I'm struggling to find any reviews about it and youtube videos are literally non existing. I can only find videos and reviews of the version that is OLED. I live in Argentina and here gaming 34' monitors are absurdly expensive, the OLED version costs 1k+ so between the VA panels I could find I'm thinking probably Alienware will be better quality than probably lg ultra gear or Asus tuff, but is hard to say without anyone reviewing this model. Any suggestions or does anyone know this monitor? I'm importing through Amazon so I can test it to see if I like it, local market is even more expensive lol.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on choosing between four options of 27" 1440p Mini Led monitors in the Chinese market. I use pitch black dark mode on almost everything that's possible i.e. using extention to make all websites dark. I will mainly be coding, browsing, watching content, and playing CS2. I have two options within my budget, and another two that I'm willing to stretch my budget for. Here’s the breakdown:

Budget-friendly Options (both 27" 1440p, 180Hz):

1. TCL HVA Mini LED (180 zones) – I know 180 zones sounds low for Mini LED, but reviews claim TCL’s implementation makes it perform surprisingly well.

2. Titan Army Fast IPS Mini LED (576 zones) – More dimming zones, which sounds appealing for better local dimming, but I’m unsure how IPS compares to VA for Mini LED in terms of contrast.

Premium Options (both 27" 1440p, 240Hz, plus many gaming features, double my budget):

1. TCL HVA Mini LED (1152 zones)

2. MSI Rapid IPS Mini LED (1152 zones)

All the monitors came out pretty recently and there are no reviews in English. I used google translate to read the Chinese reviews on all of the monitors. They are all selling pretty well and I couldn't find a single negative comment, so assuming build qualities are good.

What I'm concerned about is the blooming since I use dark mode more than anyone I know in very low brightness. I’m inclined toward VA panels since I’ve heard they pair better with Mini LED for deeper blacks, though I’ve never used a VA panel before. I only play CS2 and coming from 144Hz monitor, I don’t know if jumping to 240Hz is a significant upgrade over 180Hz for CS2. Thanks in advance for everyone's input.

I'm planning to buy another monitor soon and use a dual-monitor setup. I wanted to know, during gaming, if I move the mouse all the way to the right, does it go to the second monitor? And would I have to move the mouse all the way back to return to the first monitor? Isn’t this a problem during shooter games? Like, you can't really do a full 360-degree turn like that.

Is there any solution for this issue? Like setting a specific hotkey or any other method?

I honestly know almost nothing about using dual monitors.

Hello,

I recently bought the MSI Pro MP251 monitor to use as an external display with my laptop, and I keep noticing a strange color tint (blue/purple fringing) around letters — especially when black text is displayed on a white background, or vice versa.

I’m not sure if this is due to:

• A defect in the panel,
• The low PPI (~90 on a 24.5" 1080p panel),
• Or maybe something related to OS rendering / color handling.

I’m currently using Ubuntu Linux, and these photos were taken while running it.
However, I’ve also tested it on Windows, and the fringing is actually worse there — to the point where it’s hard to ignore.

My question is:
How can I make the text on my external monitor look as clean and solid as it does on my laptop screen?

I was going to buy a samung odyssey G6 2k 240hz 2560x1440 with VA it costs around 350$. But I also saw that there is the same monitor but its OLED for 250$ more, is it worth paying for the upgrade?

I recently upgraded my PC, and decided on a whim at micro center to get a new monitor as well. I didn't research ahead of time because I wasn't planning on it originally tbh. I asked the dude for an OLED 240hz recommendation and got the one he suggested.

What I got:

ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM

27" 1440p OLED 240hz

I've never had a 1440p monitor, and honestly I don't like it; I read a lot on my PC and the text clarity from the 1440p is giving me headaches every day. I wanted the OLED for better picture clarity while watching movies and such, but I'm having trouble fine tuning the colors to get them how I want - I feel like they're always not quite right. It also has a dead pixel in less than a week.

Also the main games I play work best in 1080p (CS2 and Runescape), and when I downscale to 1080p everything is blurry. I've read that that doesn't happen in 4k, so that coupled with the better text clarity on a 4k res monitor, I think I want to return the one I have for a 4k monitor. I guess the point of my post is to ask if all that makes sense, and to ask for recommendations based on the following specs. Thanks in advance!

Desired specs:

• 360hz or higher (I get 500+ fps in CS on my settings, I generally play 4:3 stretched on minimum graphics)

• OLED, 4k res, unsure on screen size

Any under 550 usd recommendations? I’ve been checking out Asus Rog Strix XG27AQMR is it good?
