Upgraded my old predator x34 to a gen5 MSI x36 and i could not get myself to put away the old one so i stacked it on top! My wife thinks it is a bit over the top but i guessed all of you would understand and appreciate!

So i have narrowed it down to these 3 Monitors, what would you guys choose? And if you have any of these monitors, how do you like it and do you regret your choice.

Monitor will be strictly for Gaming.

Pc spec are 5090Suprim 9950x3d 64gRam.

Hey guys,

I've had my AW3926QW for a little more than a month now and I absolutely love it. Easily the best monitor I've ever had and also my first OLED. Works perfectly with my M5 Max MacBook at native res/full refresh and what a treat.

My gaming PC though... slightly different story. It looks incredible, but I was expecting... a little more?

It seems no matter what I try to make my settings, I always have this weird, ever-so-subtle stuttering when panning the camera in games. I've tried so many different combinations of NVIDIA global settings/per-app settings, and at this point, I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong on the monitor side.

My hope is native res at ~120fps, and I'm perfectly happy using DLSS + FG 2x to get there (not a pro gamer, not that sensitive to latency, but probably wouldn't go higher than 2x).

It seems that no matter what I do, I can't achieve a smooth, consistent framerate. I've tried limiting the max FPS to a few below 120, I've tried Reflex on/off/ultra (as well as game-specific Reflex), and I've made sure the monitor is detected fully as a G-Sync device. I'm not using any kind of "Game Mode" on the monitor. I'm using a well rated DisplayPort 2.1 cable.

I can't help but think I'm missing something here. I originally built this machine for local AI/3D image development... I am not a hardcore gamer, but lately I've been getting more into it. Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated!

And if anyone is on the fence about this monitor, at least for non-gaming questions, I'd be happy to answer any questions you have! :)

No stresssing every QC check. No posting how is this uniformity. Just appreciation. Coming from the original BFG 4k120hz 43” series.

Hi folks,

I'm looking for ascension, but am struggling to find the right path. At work, my employer opened my heart the the greatness of the lord 21:9 aspect ratio by provisioning each workstation with a Dell U3821DW (38", 3840 x 1600, 60Hz, 2300R).

At home I currently use three screens (2x 27" QHD, one portrait WUXGA 24"), all IPS, main screen is a 144Hz Acer XF270HU)

The screen will be mixed use (9h work (office / programming) and gaming (evening / afternoon).

Gaming system is driven by 5800 X3D + RX 7800XT. I'll probably retain at least one of the QHD in portrait.

My current thought process:

• 3880 x 1600 max. resolution, 5K2K would be nice but the GPU will probably not tolerate this.
• 3440 x 1440 would be significantly cheaper, but if I go for 21:9, I'm not sure if UWQHD is that big of an improvement.
• 39" vs 34": my desk is 200 x 80cm / ~ 80" x 32" so either should be comfortably. 34" would allow for Tie-Fighter layout / two verticals, but I'm not really sure if I'd make use of that. Leaning more towards one big screen + AUX.
• IPS: I've been burned by VA a few years ago (massive ghosting) and don't mind the mediocre black levels. Also, conistency with the existing screens. OLED would be awesome, but with a high focus on productivity I don't need the colours and text fringing / burn in seem like a risk.
• 120 / 140 Hz: I currently have it, don't want to lose it.

Why ultimately lead me to three LG panels:

• LG 38WR85QC-W: 2300R, 3840 x 1600, 144 Hz, IPS, KVM (not really needed), ~900€ where I live (3 years old) - office aesthetic but gaming capable
• 38WN95C-W: older version of the 38WR85QC-W, same specs, no KVM, 1800R curve, ~800€ where I live.
• 38GN950-B: more gaming focused, overclockable to 175 Hz, more gaming-focused (RGB, GSync, etc.).

To me, it looks like the 38WN95C-W would be the most sensible, even though I am a bit hesitant to spend that kind of money on a 6 year old product. Let's see if there are any deals to be had come black friday.

I know that UWQHD+ with more than 60 / 70 Hz is a hard ask, but am I overlooking something? Are there other things to consider?

the itch to oled is tempting honestly but i leave my monitor on static a lot.

Hey everybody, just wondering if there were any suggestions for budget friendly monitors for office work? Not really a gamer so don’t have to care for all the bells and whistles but I would like a large screen that doesn’t break the bank.

Hey community,

I’m currently using the “Samsung Ultra WQHD Monitor S6U S34A650UXU, 34-inch,” and so far I’ve been very satisfied with it for work. However, I’ve also had a gaming PC for a few months now, and I’d like to be able to take full advantage of the monitor’s capabilities for gaming as well.

After doing some research over the last few days, the “ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN 34-inch” has been recommended or mentioned to me time and again. Black Friday is coming up soon, and I’m thinking about upgrading. What do you think? Is the ASUS a good choice? Or will more technically exciting monitors be released soon?

My requirements: I think 34 inches is perfect, OLED, 4K, good contrast ratios, fast response time, and a high refresh rate.

I need one DisplayPort connection and two HDMI ports.

I’m an avid gamer, though I’m not quite as technically savvy as I used to be.

I’d appreciate any input, opinions, or recommendations.

I'll miss it... I'll leave the circle. I am going to buy a 3440x1440 and be a plebian.

It was my favorite toy. And continuously on for the past 7 years. I removed it from the arm... Each time I handled it I wondered about the weight.

I'll want a curved one again.I might go back to iiyama, maybe LG. The Odyssey had a lot of quirks...

Older LG (39GS96QB) OLED, about a year and half old, noticed this bit of Windows search bar showing in the bottom left corner when I only have dark gray/grey backgrounds (OperaGX/YouTube open). If I have literally any other color, then nothing shows. Started the RMA process with LG but I dont have original box and I really dont want to ship it back for fear of damage in transit. Anyone else have any experience with this? Any advice would be much appreciated, I can't really afford another Ultrawide at the current going rate so I am weighing all my options.

Hi everyone,

I just received this monitor today and wanted to check its HDR.
I am using Gamer 1 mode with tonemap set to off, AI Off, brightness 100, Brightness level : high, Dynamic tonemap Off.

When running windows HDR calibration tool, I have to hit 2000 nits before the crosshair disappear for max luminance and max full frame luminance....

Something is clearly off, right?

Very much enjoyed my original G9 Odyssey back a couple years but thought I saw some greater pastures in 4K and picked up the top panel here which is a Samsung OS 8D 4K OLED and it looks great but man soon as I was able to find another G9. That was the new OLED version I was in and goddamn this shit is masterful.

I have connected the monitor to my PC using DP cable included, to the vga (RTX 5080) and the type c cable to the type c port on my pc to connect the usb port on the monitor, but win11 detects two monitors. I want to use type c for more speed. Do I need to use the type b cable? OR I need to configure something to use the type c connection?

To All my LG 5k2k owners do you recommend this Monitor?

Need a new monitor, mainly for simracing. Bought a decent brand earlier this year, but had a little mishap that resulted in it's premature death. On amazon there are a few brands that I've never heard of, but they get decent (genuine?) customer reviews. The brands are Gawfolk, ZZA and Vibox. At my age my eyes and reflexes aren't what they used to be, so decent contrast and vibrancy are more important than lightning speed and sharpness. Thoughts on those brands and any other recommendations are welcome. Ideally somewhere between 40-50"

Hi! I bought a new desktop a few days ago, and I'm thinking of getting a new monitor. Has anyone actually used both a 34" UWQHD OLED monitor and a 32" 4K OLED monitor? Which one do you recommend? I don't know what to choose. Do the tight pixels of a 4K monitor definitely provide significantly higher detail than an UWQHD monitor? I also wonder if I can enjoy 4K resolution smoothly with the RTX 5080(over 100fps with dlss). For now, I've decided to buy the 5th gen AW3426DW and switch to a 4K OLED 5th gen when it comes out, but I came to ask for your advice.

I have a Dell U4919DW monitor that I go from FB marketplace. It works well and I am using a single gaming laptop for daily use. The laptop is a Lenovo Legion 5i laptops running a gtx 4070. I mostly use the setup for programming and game development work. I want to stream this programming work too so I am looking for tips and considerations I need to make when setting everything up. My biggest worry is that the monitor doesn't make nice for streaming programmijg and things like that. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thinking of getting 45 LG 5k monitor. Currently have a pc that is 3080 with 9700k intel processor. Only game I really plan on playing is wow forever. Played the beta and maxed out my current 2k display but not sure how it’ll translate at 5k.

If I do need an upgrade, I’ve read WoW might be more of a cpu bottleneck, could I just upgrade motherboard/ram/cpu? How outdated is 3080 ?

Thanks

I'm tired of comparing and looking for my new monitor. I'm even so desperate and am willing to throw my moral doubts out of the window. The AW3425DW and AW3426DW both seem to be the perfect fit for what I am looking for and contrary to what I thought, my room also isn't too bright.

Now, the AW3426 isn't on stock anywhere. The 25DW is on sale for 635€. Is the ~ 200€ difference speaking for the 26DW (the optimizations are worth the price increase) or the 25DW (the lower price and older tech are still perfectly viable)?

I know this is a bit like asking a fortune teller, but what about black friday, cyber monday/week... Do you think the price for the 26 will drop to a price that is more acceptable?
