I will pretty much be setting them up and then never moving them, so that's fine. Thanks!

Anything I need to look for besides "can this hold the weight and is it the right size for the mount on the back"? There's a newegg sale on right now that has one that meets the specs cheap (this one) but I know gently caress all about this sort of thing Make sure that not only is the mount able to handle the weight, but that it is tuned for it (i.e. you don't want it too heavy or too light either, if it is too light the gas springs will extend it all the way up). Look up the weight of your monitor model without stand, and make sure the weight is around the middle of the range of what the mount lists. You can fine tune them by turning the spring screw with a screwdriver, usually. Also, make sure your desk itself can handle the mount. That's two monitors and some aluminum/steel focused on a singe point. Real wood can handle it, particle board or Ikea honeycomb has the potential to fail or warp over time, especially if it is humid in your area. If you use a piece of scrap plywood on the top and bottom of the table it'll spread the weight better.

Is there any way to control display backlight brightness from inside windows like you do with ACPI laptops and their screen brightness but for a desktop over DP?

There's a specific protocol I forgot the name of that allows software control of a monitor's functions that could do this, but you need to download the software from your device's manufacturer and not every monitor supports this. Alternatively: enable HDR mode in windows and your monitor and then use the brightness slider in the HDR config screen. Though a lot of monitors don't look great in the windows desktop environment while HDR is enabled.

One thing I like about a few HPs I have is that the brightness is directly accessible from the side buttons. No menu digging to get them. I wish there was OS support tho like laptops. Maybe in 5 years.

ControlMyMonitor from NirSoft is supposed to be able to do that. quote:ControlMyMonitor allows you view and modify the settings of your monitor (Also known as 'VCP Features'), like brightness, contrast, sharpness, red/green/blue color balance, OSD Language, Input Port (VGA , DVI , HDMI ) and more... You can modify the monitor settings from the GUI and from command-line. You can also export all settings of your monitor into a configuration file and then later load the same configuration back into your monitor.

My job will buy me a monitor but I need to select the specific one I want before I make the request. What are some good, not too expensive, choices for a curved 4k monitor for programming and cad work? I've got a 4k 30" TV I've been using at home and it's generally fine except for a few UI issues stemming from being a TV and I wish it was curved. I don't need fast refresh rate or the best color reproduction, but I wouldn't complain if those were on the table for similar prices to monitors without. A built in USB hub would be great but not required if that is somehow limiting.

There's a newegg sale on right now that has one that meets the specs cheap (this one) but I know gently caress all about this sort of thing I got a similar model from EVEO on Amazon, also for a pair of 27" monitors. As Rexxed said, they work, but are a pain to adjust. Mostly I'm lucky that my desk height is such that it's not difficult to get them into the position I find optimal (top of the monitor close to eye level when I sit up straight). The few times I tried to rotate one of the monitors to portrait and back, it took a good deal of fiddling to align properly. I drilled a hole for a mounting screw rather than use the clamp as my desk is against one wall, and then I found that the included nut didn't actually screw on properly, probably because the screw's threading was off. Anyway, they offered to ship a new set or give me a full refund rather than just send me a replacement screw, which I kind of understand but seems extreme. Anyway, for $0, I'm satisfied, but if this is reflective of the quality control on the more important parts, I'd be wary of these lower tier brands.

Well, it's a five year old model. If it's seen five years of active use, that will limit its future lifespan. Also it will perform like a five year old IPS—kinda slow and slightly blurry in motion, most likely. If you're getting this for gaming, I'd consider just getting a high-refresh 1440p ultrawide instead. If this isn't for gaming, then it'll probably be okay. Just don't be surprised if it craps out in a few years or something.

Just don't be surprised if it craps out in a few years or something. Good call. I didn't consider the age of it. I'm looking for something to replace my current dual monitor setup. I've got a 24" Asus 144hz monitor and a 22" Dell piece of poo poo. The Asus is great and I really like the higher refresh rate, but it is very under utilized as I don't play games as much, and the ones I do play usually struggle past 60+ fps anyways. I'll be using both a Macbook and my desktop pretty soon, and people online have said that having PBP is great for instances like that if you hop between machines. Even with one machine though having the screen real estate would be nice. A quick measurement of my setup puts physical space of my two monitors about what a 34" UW would anyways. Really though I'm not sure if I'd like an UW vs just getting a higher resolution 27" or 32" and using my current Asus in portrait. I've been having trouble deciding between UW or not for weeks.

My beloved PG279Q was on the blink so I took the plunge and upgraded to a Gigabyte M28U. It's great, I can't tell any difference from the DSC or whatever when running it at 144hz. The inbuilt KVM also whips, I work from my MBP and game slash post from my windows desktop and it's very nice being able to switch between the two with only a single button press. Only issue is the USB-C charging is only 15W so it's not quite a one cable dock solution. Anyway, thank's for reading my post.

Just upgraded from a AW3418DW to a Gigabyte M32U, which came with the lastest firmware. I'm noticing that games like FFXIV look so much more vibrant, they looked a bit washed out on my older display. Is there any additional calibration I should do with the M32U to get the best picture, or is this good out of the box?

Maybe Samsung will do a 1440p Neo QLED at some point, but that doesn't seem to be in the immediate plans. They're releasing a 4K 32" monitor in a few months, but that's it for now. I don't know of anyone else doing these kinds of displays. AU Optronics, Innolux, and LG all seem to be focusing on IPS + FALD backlights with only Samsung bucking the trend with their VA-based Neo QLED tech.

Speaking of LG, I just managed to finally order a 27GP950-B, but it's a "27GP950-B.AUS", so I'm afraid it'll start talking like Steve Irwin. Does LG produce some monitors in Australia or something like that?

I've been out of the game for six or seven years now. I actually still use one of those 27" Korean 96hz monitors mentioned in the OP. I've seen several curved screens at work and they intrigue me. Are curved monitors worth a poo poo? If so, what's the best bang for buck currently around $300 US? Would prefer something at least 27". Thanks!

I use AmazonBasic’s dual monitor mount and screwed it into my wooden desktop. It has served me well and I genuinely could not imagine a better mount than this one. It’s ultimately just a mount, but everything about it feels incredibly premium. I even have the same AmazonBasics but single monitor mount on my wall as well so I have a 24” monitor dart out towards me for other random fun stuff. Here’s a pretty basic look at it:  It’s this mount: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Dual-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN71I

TFT Central just reviewed the AOC AGON Pro AG274QXM, a 1440p 170Hz IPS with a 576-zone mini-LED FALD backlight that's out in Europe and Asia but not NA yet. This will be one of the first "affordable" (less than $2k) displays of this type. https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/aoc-agon-pro-ag274qxm Unfortunately, there are a bunch of weird issues with this one. An sRGB mode that locks your brightness control to an unusably bright setting, a backlight that flickers on a PWM duty cycle, and an HDR image that appears washed-out in the windows desktop. The FALD is slow to respond, and it only slightly enhances contrast in content with bright and dark spots adjacent to each other. TFT Central reports that the blooming is subtle in real content, but that may only be because black levels are not especially dark in real content to begin with. The HDR image sounds superior to SDR by a fair margin in properly mastered HDR content, but the review gives me the impression that it's not as good as it could be. It does not seem worth the thousand or so bucks this 27" 1440p display will cost. Spending $300 more on the wider Alienware QD-OLED coming out at the end of the month seems like a no brainer to me. DammitJanet posted:I've been out of the game for six or seven years now. I actually still use one of those 27" Korean 96hz monitors mentioned in the OP. I've seen several curved screens at work and they intrigue me. The curve on its own is purely a matter of taste. Some people love curved displays, others hate them. Most cheap curved monitors use crappy VA panels with terrible dark-level smearing, though. Essentially, response times for dark color transitions are bad on these displays, which means that you get an ugly smeary trail effect that gets especially bad in dark scenes. For $300 or less, I'd just recommend the flat-panel HP X27q. It uses a nice-looking and responsive IPS panel from LG, and it's a solid bang-for-your-buck monitor at 1440p.

I just got a new IPS(MSI MAG274QRF-QD) after years of using a TN after learning that the motion performance differences are basically gone. Actually, it's not strictly new; it was sold by 'Amazon Warehouse' as 'Like New' but I didn't realize that until after I ordered it  . There is one stuck pixel somewhat near the center I'll have to see if I can live with. The motion performance is indeed awesome but I don't trust my own eyeballs and am wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether the uniformity is reasonable for a modern IPS. Superficially, the right side looks a little funky to me: joe football fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Mar 5, 2022 |

I'd return it. You can do better. More for the stuck pixel than the irregularity, although I would say the irregularity may be a bit subpar too.

Looking for a 32" 4k TV or monitor that I can use with my Xbox, as well as potentially with my Macbook. Ideally it'd have USB-C, HDMI, Displayport, and speakers. Anyone have any recommendations? There's this from LG for $350: https://www.amazon.com/LG-32UN500-W...489&sr=8-3&th=1 Dell has this for $380, although it's only 27": https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27-4k-uhd-usb-c-monitor-s2722qc/apd/210-bbqt/monitors-monitor-accessories Both of those have speakers but they apparently aren't very good. 32" 4k TV's seem hard to come by for some reason. This Samsung seems to be one of the few available options for $449: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-32-class-q60a-series-qled-4k-uhd-smart-tizen-tv/6465202.p?skuId=6465202

There are degrees of IPS glow. I have a moderate amount of glow on my current monitor and I live with it, but I probably would've returned it if it were any worse. I just don't get the objection here. The OP got a monitor with a stuck pixel and noticeable uniformity issues, so yes, they can do better and should go for a return. Are you suggesting they'd be a prick because they'd inconvenience amazon, a multi-billion dollar megacorporation, and should just live with a sub-par display? come on, man.
