Watching dark movies with lovely encoding and every light in the house off isnt great, especially on panels with bad IPS glow in the corners. On my current 27GL83A, I've never really had problems in the dark at all, though. That said, I don't tend to play horror games or watch movies on it in the dark anymore. There is also some brightness loss off angle, but overall the viewing angles and colors are absolutely in another league than a TN so its basically a flat upgrade imo.

Zotix posted:How bad is gaming in the dark on an IPS monitor? I keep seeing it mentioned in my monitor shopping but I only have TN panels and it's not something you can test at a store. TN panels on average have worse contrast than IPS monitors, so there's a chance you'll get an upgrade here, if your panel doesn't glow like crazy on you.

I have two of these Odyssey G7 28" 4K displays, and they've been a handful in combination with my 3080. I've got NVidia to implement some fixes to make them bearable. I've also contacted Samsung, however it took a while for them to react. They tell me that my as GSync-compatible advertised displays are not compatible with NVidia's adaptive sync method.

In general, a monitor backlight will help minimize those problems, as well as make a better viewing experience, right? I prefer to keep the room dark, but have used one for a while and it seems to help. edit: otherwise known as "bias lighting" since backlight means something else in the context of LCDs.

Even monitors with ludicrous 4-digit price tags will excel at one thing and be total dogshit at something else. Quoting this because I don't think it has changed much since aside from the wild MSI deal that most of us can't access. My M27Q (they sent the right model this time) is beautiful out of box and text in Firefox is fine, but has a visibly darker vertical area along the right side, so unless that's somehow correctable this one is also going back. The XV272U KVbmiiprzx is back in stock at Amazon for $435. Is that worth the extra $155 (I'm not expecting that one to go on sale anytime soon) as option #2 right now, or should I keep rolling the dice to try and get a good M27Q?

Further update: I just reviewed the Rtings article on it and the grey uniformity section says that the slight dark bands on the left and right are just part of the model. They don't mark it down as a serious negative because it's not visible in most types of content, but unfortunately for me, Shitposting Central and my web apps for work are all a single color across the window. In those situations it's visible enough to constantly annoy me. YMMV. I know I'm picky about image quality, but that issue and the fact that it can't swivel at all are probably worth considering when buying/recommending. If you're not bothered by those, it's still a great deal given the price point vs quality, specs, and features.

Made the trek to Microcenter to get a MSI MAG274QRF-QD. Spent a bit of time updating the firmware to get the sRGB mode, messed with the colors for a bit and am trying out some games now. Already seems like a massive upgrade from my old $100 1080p60 screen. Quite happy so far.

Its little brother, the M27Q is fairly well regarded (counterpoint a few posts up), and the M32Q doesn't have some of its shortcomings (like the BGR subpixel layout). It's an IPS panel, which everyone loves, but I have some misgivings about (not great at displaying dark scenes especially in dimly lit rooms, but most people don't seem to have/notice this issue). For its price point especially, it seems like a good monitor. The stand doesn't allow for portrait rotation, if that matters to you. You can mount it on a VESA stand that does, though.

If you're in the market for a 32" 1440p monitor, then the M32Q seems like a perfectly solid, inexpensive one of those. For those of you picking up the M27Q, make sure you run the cleartype tuner on it so it will be configured for BGR subpixels.

A 32" 1440p monitor has the same pixels per inch as a 24" 1080p monitor. I dunno if I'd want that personally so wanted to bring that up. Here's the tool I used to look that up.

Here's a good rule of thumb 24 - fhd 27 - QHD 32 - UHD Unless you have some specific use case for something different. Just buy QHD. It'll be great. 4k/UHD is a buzzword.

TenementFunster posted:yeah, it'll be going on a VESA. thanks for the tip! Honestly, not really. It's not a category that sees much competition. There's the LG 32GP850, but it's only marginally better than the M32Q in most respects, so I'm not sure if it justifies the price difference. Here's a comparison. On the really high end of things is the 32" version of the Samsung Odyssey G7, but that thing has hit-or-miss QC, and with that curve, it doesn't seem like it'll play friendly with a dual monitor setup. And at $800, it's a bit much. I've seen it go as low as $750 before, but yeah...

TenementFunster posted:yeah, it'll be going on a VESA. thanks for the tip! It definitely needs this imo, in addition to the complete lack of swivel their vertical adjustment range is also a little short. It would need at least another inch (maybe even two) to be at an ergonomic height for my desk. That seems to be a common thread among a lot of monitors, though TheDK posted:Just buy QHD. It'll be great. 4k/UHD is a buzzword. Agreed. At monitor sizes I barely notice the difference between 1080 and 1440 in games/media, let alone 4k. It makes less of a difference than the drop below 60 fps that it caused me, so I would only move up if you have a GPU that can run both at an equivalent speed I'm only loving with this at all because it does make a difference in text. A 27“ UHD is goddamn glorious for work.

I responded to their email by saying why they'd advertise NVidia GSync compatibility by silkscreening it onto the display frame, then say my RTX 3080 wasn't compatible. Well, that's because the display is only compatible with these series of graphics cards: Are you using them through HDMI? If so, you need to be on DisplayPort. From the RTINGS review: quote:FreeSync works over the entire range with both connections, but the G-SYNC compatibility only works over DisplayPort; over HDMI, the NVIDIA Control Panel recognizes it, but we couldn't enable G-SYNC in the pendulum demo.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Are you using them through HDMI? If so, you need to be on DisplayPort. From the RTINGS review: RTINGS was definitely using AV mode, because they pulled the HDMI Extension block out of the EDID. That one is missing in PC mode. Well, NVidia said the displays send broken EDID info, which tripped the driver up into a crash, if you had two, which was fixed in driver version 496 onwards (there's still crash issues when hooking up additional devices to the two G70A). Either way, the Samsung guy was going on about downgrading the DisplayPort connection to 1.1 via the display's OSD. --edit: If testufo.com's VRR test actually works, it seems like it does VRR, because frame pacing is good at crooked and low framerates. https://www.testufo.com/vrr

Gigabyte announced the M27Q-X today: https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/gigabyte-m27q-x-with-27-ips-panel-1440p-and-240hz-refresh-rate It's a 27" 1440p panel like the M27Q, but at 240hz. It's safe to assume that this will be a cost-cut version of the FI27Q-X, which is a pretty good 240Hz monitor. No word on pricing yet, but Gigabyte always prices their "M" line of monitors very aggressively, so this may become the most affordable 240hz 1440p monitor yet.

I mean, it'll be a little bit faster and better than his current monitor, but it isn't a large leap forward in display technology or anything. There are a lot of people sorta depressed at the state of monitor tech right now (me included) due to how much it has stagnated and how slow and expensive adoption of true HDR has been.
