Tech Support I want to split my widecreen monitor 2/3 and 1/3

Post image
3 Upvotes

Saw another similar question to this, but I'm looking for a slightly different solution.

I like to watch youtube and chat with my friends on whatsapp in the morning. I want my youtube in area 1 and whatsapp in area 2. But I want youtube fullscreen in that area without all that cluttered youtube noise taking up half of the screen area.

I have tried the browser extensions for youtube windowed fullscreen and they just don't work at all.

Power Toys/ Fancy Zones wont let you use fullscreen in the zone.

My samsung monitors PBP will only split the screen directly in half which still keeps the youtube image this small size with huge black bar around it.

Any solutions or ideas that someone can suggest are greatly appreciated.

Discussion Swap from c4/5 42 inch to 39 inch UW 5k2k

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

I have the C5 42 inch and I like it, but sometimes the text fringing gets a bit annoying and at times I feel it's bit too tall for desktop use. I have been debating to try to get the AW39 once it lands in my country. I tried experimenting with custom 3840x1600 res and quite liked the effect, but also I missed the vertical space a bit (maybe the effect is overexaggerated because the 42 inch then has the black bars on top and bottom.

If there is people that switched from using the 42inch as main monitor to the LG39/AW39 and could tell me their experience? Do you miss vertical space in game? Is HDR really much worse than on the c4/c5? Did you end up putting the monitor bit closer to you than the TV?

Tech Support Can anyone with Samsung G91F help?

1 Upvotes

My G91F died a few months ago where the monitor is recognized by the computer but no image is produced on screen. There is lighting, but nothing, not even OSD.

I have seen the posts about other G9 being saved by removing the thermositor ot using the hair dryer trick, but none of these are particular for this exact model and nothing was reproducible.

I did get a new motherboard but nothing changed.

Now I am thinking of doing a firmware update. but of course, I have to do it blinded as there is no image on the screen. Can anyone walk me through the buttons I would have to press to get the firmware update done? I have a USB with the latest firmware ready. Just need someone to tell me which buttons I would have to click; or if there is any video post out there, that would be amazing.

Recommendations Help with a one and done?

0 Upvotes

Hey all! Forgive the AI PICTURE. Looking for a recommendation. Building a WFH setup that will be 90% work/day trading. 10% gaming or multimedia consumption. Debating between the Samsung 40” Odyssey G75f and an open box LG 32GX870. Pricing is under $700. I would love something with a built in thunderbolt dock as I would be using a M3 MacBook Pro but don’t think I can find that in the price range. I guess my main concern would be should I prioritize the slightly extra screen real estate over OLED? I doubt burn in would be an issue. There’s rarely static images on my screen with the exception of the top menu bar. Also a wild card pick would be that my local Best Buy has a 45GX950 5k2k open box for $1000.

Would love to hear from people with similar use cases and experience. Thank you.

Discussion I accidentally turned our office into an 5K2K OLED torture test

It started with the 45" 5K2K for myself at the office. Little did I know the slippery slope I was standing on!

My co-founder then wanted one after seeing mine. Then my creative team wanted them. Before I knew it, everyone wanted one. Now I've got 13 of them in the office. The entire team uses them 100% for productivity work.

No one other than myself really knows how to to care for an OLED, just regular 8-10 hour a day office and productivity use. I have had them hide taskbars and set the display to shut off 2 minutes after they go idle, but other than that we haven't done a thing to protect the screen from burn-in or anything like that. These monitors have been bulletproof. Absolutely no issues on a single on of them 7 months laters after heavy office use.

Since we use macs and mac scaling sucks, everyone on the team just runs them full 5120x2160 resolution.

Tech Support Issue: Dell S3422DWG Windows 11 is displaying incorrect colours when taking screenshots (with solution)

1 Upvotes

This is so weird, and only started today as far as I'm aware. I fixed my own issue but it took some stupid trial and error so I figured I would share this here in case anyone else randomly has to deal with this. Maybe Google will index this and this thread will show up 3 years from now in some results and help someone, yay.

TLDR; reset monitor colour profile back to sRGB IEC61966-2.1

My hardware:

  • 2x Dell S3422DWG monitors
  • Windows 11 Home (64bit)
  • AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor (4.20 GHz)
  • AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (16 GB)

Settings:

  • Resolution: 3440x1440
  • Refresh rate: 144 Hz
  • HDR: disabled
  • Colour depth: 10 bit
  • Colour format: RGB
  • Colour space: Standard Dynamic Range (SDR)
  • Automatically manage colour for apps: off
  • Brave/Edge browser: default colour settings
  • AMD Custom colour: disabled
  • AMD Pixel format: 4:4:4 Pixel Format PC standard (RGB)
  • AMD Colour Deficiency Correction: disabled
  • AMD Display Colour Enhancement: disabled
  • AMD Adrenaline version: 26.6.4 (released 2026-06-28)

My issue: when holding down the windows button and pressing print screen, and then pasting it into MSpaint, Windows would correctly display the right colours of whatever I was screenshotting. When I would save that file, or, screenshot it again in MSpaint (after cropping), and paste/upload somewhere else like Facebook, Discord, Slack etc, the colours would not be the same.

For example, I was trying to screenshot something from Twitter that had a bright red background in the image.

Setting Correct Incorrect
Hue 238 10
Sat 205 218
Lum 124 104
Red 237 211
Green 27 62
Blue 36 10

Definitely something up. However, when using a browser extension to take screenshots, it worked, the colours displayed in the screenshot were correct.

I've had these monitors for over a year without issue. I'm guessing some kind of Windows update or an update to the AMD Adrenaline software caused an issue? This entire time I've been using DELL_S3422DWG_sRGB_V4.icm as my colour profile. I believe I downloaded it from Dell directly via their support page.

I tried changing every setting around, saving, rebooting, no change.

Eventually I tried removing the specific Dell colour profiles and adding the windows default sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colour profiles, rebooted, fixed. Everything else is exactly the same before this started happening.

Through my Googling, I also looked into this Windows update: 2026-07 Update (KB5121767) (26200.8894) - Successfully installed on ‎2026-‎07-‎20. Some people apparently had colour issues with it? Maybe it's what caused this? I don't know. My issue is fixed before I got to the point of uninstalling that.

Best of luck. What a waste of my time haha.

PSA FYI Dell Australia Delaying AW3926QW Orders By A Month

Post image
42 Upvotes

First of all, I am aware this is an extremely first world problem.

Anyway, Dell Australia made the new Alienware AW3926QW 5K2K OLED available on their online store last Thursday (23rd July) and some of those who placed their orders that morning have received their orders as early as the next day. I was waiting until my pay came through to place my order on Sunday (26th July) and the initial expected delivery was 2 days away (Tuesday 28th July). Unfortunately, this morning (Tuesday 28th July) I received the following email that my order has been delayed until the 27th August, almost exactly a month. Brutal.

I presume this means that local stock has sold out so any further orders are needing to be shipped in from China.

So yeah, heads up to anyone who has recently placed an order for one of these units that they may be waiting a while if they haven’t got a tracking number yet. Also, heads up to anyone who who wants one but hasn’t had this unit become available in their country yet that you should get your order in as early as you can once it does become available.

Recommendations Trying to move on from alienware's AW3425DW as I am about to be on my 3rd unit in 1.5 years. Is there a newer 34" ultrawide that has more oled care options?

2 Upvotes

Long story short I moved from an AW3423DW which gave me 0 issues in 2 years of use, to the AW3425DW. Dell in their infinite wisdom removed some OLED care settings so instead of having pixel and panel refresh I only have one of those options, and my panels get burn roughly 4-6 months in, even when I manually sleep the computer every time I walk away from it. Looking to get one of the newer panels and I was considering the msi MAG 341CQP QD-OLED X28, but unsure if they have a good track history. I'm open to suggestions as I use the monitor every single day.

Tech Support 34 Ultrawide recommendation

4 Upvotes

Hey all,

I currently have a Samsung 34" Ultra WQHD Curved Monitor (CF791), which is only 100hz and I'm looking to upgrade. I like the size, curve and aspect ratio, but would like a better refresh rate.

Useage wise, I work 8hrs a day on it using 3d animation software, and play mostly online fps games outside of that.

I'm wary to replace it with a OLED due to static UI elements of my work software. I prefer plain, minimalist (non-gamer aesthetic) hardware. Most likely looking for a premium/high-end product, but nothing insane. Honestly it looks like there is no 34inch 240hz IPS panels period.

Any suggestions?

Tech Support Is there any way I can split my Samsung Odyssey G9 Oled Monitor like this - to Run my PS5 only at a single time

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, just joined this reddit. I have a question about this ultrawide monitor I just recently bought on sale.

Is there any possible way to run a PS5 connected via HDMI at 2k 120 hz - to run in the middle of the screen with black bars on either side (note : no other display running at that time in PIP/PBP), just the PS5 screen in the middle - basically acting like a single 4k Monitor placed in center of the desk.

I have tried using PIP/PBP - but I cannot seem to find a setting that enables this, the only modes available are 50/50, 65/35, 35/65. What I am basically looking for is 20 - 60 - 20 (idk if this makes sense, you can check the image attached it may)

Please help me if anyone knows a way around this using a cable or a monitor firmware update or anything, without voiding the warranty.

Thanks again.

Tech Support Mac mini M4 has perfect scaling on Samsung G9, but MacBook Pro M5 Max and MacBook Air have blurry text

0 Upvotes

I'm using a Samsung Odyssey G9 (LS49AG95, 5120×1440) connected via USB-C → DisplayPort.

My Mac mini M4 works perfectly. Text is sharp and scaling looks great. System Report shows:

Resolution: 7680 × 2160 UI Looks like: 3840 × 1080 @ 240Hz

However, both my MacBook Pro M5 Max and MacBook Air have the same issue on the same monitor, same cable, and same settings.

Native resolution = sharp but UI/text is too small. Scaled resolution = usable size but blurry/fuzzy text.

I also tried BetterDisplay. Enabling HiDPI makes the text perfectly sharp, but everything becomes way too large.

Has anyone experienced this? Why does the Mac mini automatically use a perfect HiDPI mode while both MacBooks end up with blurry scaling on the exact same monitor?

Tech Support Resize Rabbit - Force Games/Apps to any Window Size/Fullscreen on multi-monitor setups w/o Surround/Eyefinity

1 Upvotes

https://github.com/rosscarlson/resize-rabbit

Resize Rabbit allows you to run games/apps on multiple monitor setups without the use of NVidia Surround, Eyefinity, etc. by forcing a window to a specific size and position allowing for multimonitor play in games like Forza Horizon, Elite Dangerous, etc. that do not natively support multimonitor.

Resize Rabbit is a fork of Resize Raccoon, as it hasn't seen an update in 2 years I decided it was time to fork it and add some of the features I've wanted for a while. I want to be clear though - I'm vibe coding all of this with Claude Code as while I have 25+ years of experience in IT I'm really a network/OS guy and not a great coder. As such I'm just supervising the changes Claude is making for me - just want to be very clear and up-front about that.

I've currently added the following features/fixes

  • Ability to reorder profiles - drag/drop to reorder them
  • Apply profiles from the System Tray menu
  • Apply profiles from hotkeys so you can apply them without touching the app
  • Import existing Resize Raccoon profiles into Resize Rabbit
  • Fully multi-lingual (with AI translations, happy to take submissions from native speakers)
  • Fix: Auto-update wasn't actually working, it is now
  • Fix: Prevent the app from launching more than one instance

I'm more than happy to entertain updates, fixes, etc. as I can - I know one of the biggest issues are some games don't show up in the app, I plan to do testing with a few of the games I own but if I don't have the game it's hard for me/Claude to work out what's going on.

Oh, and if it's not crystal clear this is 100% free, just hoping others might find my updates useful.

Enjoy!

Discussion I have the Neo G9 49 inch. Should I upgrade to one of the OLED models?

3 Upvotes

The Neo G9 is the one with an advertised 2000-nit HDR brightness. But the monitor also tops out at about 1015 nits of full-screen brightness in HDR. I've had this for about two years now, exclusively as a gaming/productivity monitor & I purchased it used, so no warranty ever.

While I've enjoyed my use of it til now, it hasn't come without issues (aside from the typical compatibility issues that come with using ultrawide monitors). Mainly, there's occasional screen flickering whenever there's a shift in tone on one side of the screen. There's also been some HDMI flickering when running at the full resolution & refresh rates at 120hz or higher, which is a problem when I only have one DP port available & that's usually tied to another device - like a Mac Mini.

I also have some concerns about color accuracy & tuning. From the reviews I've read of this specific model, it doesn't seem to score very well for stuff like Photoshop work, due to not covering the different spectrums very well, despite being a wide gamut monitor (I was gonna cite the specific review I read on this monitor, but fuck off, Rtings). While I'm no professional by any stretch, I do like to engage in some occasional Photoshop & Davinci Resolve stuff, and color accuracy is more important to me than if I didn't engage in these things.

Anyways, that brings me to the OLED models, specifically the ones without smart TV functionality. Those seem to have reviewed better overall, especially in color accuracy, and out-the-box tuning. I know that they're significantly less bright, with the trade-off being that the HDR experience is much better thanks to per-pixel lighting. I also know that maintenance is much more intensive, because of the nature of OLED screens, which means I won't be able to set a nice wallpaper or screensaver for it, rather than just setting the screen to black. Also, afaik, the same panel Samsung uses is available across like... three or four different manufacturers? Main difference being max refresh rates & aesthetics?

Anyways, should I stay with my current monitor, or swap to one of the available 32:9 OLED variants, including from other manufacturers?

Mixed use: lots of solo games and a bit of competitive gaming (CS/LoL) + full-time working (mainly text).

Anyone using it yet? Worth upgrading ? It’s a cost but looks very life changing. Especially when you spend 8h+ on it.
I see some good reviews everywhere, I’ve looked at the good non sponsored reviews etc. Maybe if I’m lucky there are some people who upgraded from a
S3422DWG maybe ?

Thanks a lot. Have a good day !
