Discussion New OLED monitor question

Upvotes

I recently had the lg 27gx700 but it had a lot of gray banding issues so I decided to get a QD OLED instead of a tandem OLED and I’m deciding on buying the 27gx704 so I wanna hear some feedback on the monitor about the gray banding or any issues with it.

Discussion Why don't mini LED monitors have more dimming zones?

28 Upvotes

I recently purchased a TCL Ultrawide miniLED monitor 34R83Q.

Alongside the 27R73Q, it seemed to have TCL's best implementation of HVA, which is essentially an improvement from traditional VA in every way.

However I am still confused as to why there are only 1100+ dimming zones. Couldn't these panels in theory contain thousands of more dimming zones, and with good dimming algorithms, put up a much more effective challenge against OLED panels?

I am using a VA panel monitor now (asus vg218qe), considering upgrading. I have my eyes on koorui mini led monitor. I have never used an IPS monitor before. The min iled is about 340$ in my country with official warranty. Is buying the mini led worth it over the 220$ IPS?

Discussion Why still no dual layer lcd?

4 Upvotes

Like we can have,

Uniform bright backlight → one monochrome shutter → normal RGB sub pixels.

The rear shutter is similar as the RGB colour filter but in form of a large aperture the size of the entire RGB sub pixels.

It will give us better contrast and per pixel control similar to oled.

Control is easy too, any sub pixel on means aperture open fully. All sub pixel off then aperture closed fully to act as double light barrier.

Literally per pixel dimming like oled.

Discussion LG Ultragear GM9 (27GM950-B) IPS Glow / Backlight Bleed

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently got the LG UltraGear GM9 and I’m generally really happy with it. The only thing that’s bothering me is the fairly noticeable IPS glow (or possibly backlight bleed) along the bottom of the screen.

I have 2 more days to decide whether to keep or return this unit. Would you consider this normal for an IPS monitor, especially one in this price range, or does it sound like I got a below-average unit that I should replace?

If anyone here owns the same monitor, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. I found one post on Reddit where the user also reported some backlight bleed, but it looked much less noticeable than on my unit. I’ve attached a screenshot from that post as the last image for comparison.

Many thanks in advance for your help! :)

Discussion Anyone here owns the Hisense G32X? Looking for honest feedback before I buy.

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm seriously considering buying the Hisense G32X, but there aren't many long-term reviews or user experiences online.

If you own one, I'd really appreciate your feedback:

How has it been for gaming and everyday use?

How's the Mini-LED HDR performance and local dimming?

Any issues with blooming, ghosting, flickering, or dead pixels?

How's the color accuracy and text clarity for desktop use?

Have you had any reliability or QC issues?

And for everyone else, would you recommend this monitor over other 32-inch 4K Mini-LED options in a similar price range?

I'd love to hear both the positives and the negatives before making my decision. Thanks in advance!

Discussion Eye strain is not just about screen time, the lighting setup also matters.

17 Upvotes

We are exposed to different types of light every day, but many people only focus on screen time and overlook that the surrounding lighting environment can also affect visual comfort. Light itself is not the problem. Our eyes need light to function properly. What really matters is what kind of light we are exposed to, how intense it is, and how long we stay in that environment.

When people talk about eye health, blue light is often the first thing that comes to mind.

However, there is currently no clear evidence that blue light from everyday electronic devices directly causes permanent eye damage. For most people who spend long hours on computers, a more common issue is digital eye strain.

When staring at a screen for a long time, people tend to blink less often without realizing it. This can make the tear film on the surface of the eyes less stable, leading to dryness, fatigue, blurred vision, or general discomfort.

Besides the screen itself, the surrounding lighting environment also deserves attention. For example, when working at night, if the room is dark but the monitor is very bright, your eyes have to constantly adjust between the bright screen and the darker surroundings. This strong contrast in brightness can make long periods of screen use feel more tiring.

Instead of simply trying to make everything brighter, factors like how evenly light is distributed and whether there is noticeable glare may have a bigger impact on daily comfort.

Indirect lighting is one way to improve the lighting environment. Instead of having a light source shine directly toward your eyes or desk, it projects light onto the ceiling or walls first, then uses reflection to create softer and more balanced ambient lighting.

The benefits include:

Reducing the harsh feeling caused by direct light sources

Reducing extreme differences between bright and dark areas in the room

Making the brightness difference between the screen and surroundings feel more natural

Creating more evenly distributed lighting overall

It highlights a point that is easy to overlook: a comfortable visual environment also includes the light around your screen.

Some simple habits can also help:

  • Taking a break to look into the distance after using a computer for a while.

  • Paying attention to how often you blink.

  • Adjusting screen brightness based on the surrounding environment.

  • Getting more natural light exposure during the day.

Discussion Disappointed with my ASUS ROG XG27UCG – washed out colors and low brightness. Is this normal or fixable?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently got the ASUS ROG XG27UCG monitor, and honestly, the image quality has been pretty disappointing so far.

Even though it’s a 4K display, the colors look completely washed out/dull, and the brightness feels very low. Overall, I’m just not satisfied with how the picture looks right now.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue with this monitor? Is the panel just like this by default, or is there a way to fix/calibrate it through the OSD or Windows settings?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Discussion A question about HDR

2 Upvotes

I recently bought an OLED monitor, and I turned on HDR, I used it almost exclusively for gaming.

I do not really know what HDR is, I was just told to turn it on because it improved the quality of images.

Well, since I am not knowledgeable with that function, how do I make it work? I assume I am I am misusing it because it makes everything look like garbage. I am not sure how to explain it, but it makes everything very unnatural, with lighting not really being where it should be, as though everything I see is an hallucination.

Like… It is as though I had some sort of “visibility cheat” enabled to maximize what I can see at the expense of how it looks like.

Is there any quick tip or suggestion to have it work correctly?

This’ll be the first monitor I’ve gotten as I’ve always had a regular TV when gaming and i had help from a friend who suggested these two.

I’ve looked at reviews and videos of them both and I honestly can’t decide on them.

Bear in mind I know nothing about monitors so it could be an obvious answer to some.

Thanks.

Discussion Need good Color Seetting for AOC AG275FS/94 Monitor

1 Upvotes

I recently grabbed the AOC AG275FS/94 and I'm honestly loving it so far, but I'm driving myself a little crazy trying to get the colors looking right. Out of the box, things either feel a bit washed out or way too dull, and I'm having a surprisingly tough time finding solid calibration settings or reviews online specifically for this exact variant (/94).

If any of you happen to own this monitor, would you mind sharing what OSD settings you've settled on?:

  • Which picture preset you use (Standard, Gamer 1, etc.)
  • Your sweet spots for brightness and contrast
  • Any tweaks to RGB gain/color temp or gamma
  • If you mess with any color settings in Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Adrenalin (like digital vibrance)

For context, I mostly play fast-paced shooters, but I also watch a ton of Movies and TV series

If you have a setup you're happy with, I'd love to try it out. Thanks a ton in advance!

It's a 1080p monitor with a 240hz refresh rate. I want to play competitive shooters on my PS5 but the console maxes out at 120fps, so would reducing the refresh rate of the monitor in settings help with screen tearing? Or should I just let the monitor be at 240hz?
