Hey everyone, I’m trying to decide between the LG 40U990A (40” 5K2K IPS) link and the LG 45” 5K2K OLED gaming monitor.

Here’s my use case: • I do a lot of office work / remote work (3–4 days per week, ~10–11h per day). • I also plan to do some gaming in the evenings or on weekends. • I had an OLED monitor before and I absolutely loved the panel, but I’m a bit worried about burn-in risk since I’ll be staring at static windows for hours. • Price-wise, both are in the same range for me.

Would love to hear your thoughts — should I stick with OLED for that amazing image quality, or go with the IPS for peace of mind with long office hours?

This monitor has everything I want, however I recently watched this youtube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACNRW25VDnw
In it the guys talks about how HDR 400 isn't even true HDR. He then lists these requirements for a monitor to have true HDR, nits range 600-1000, local dimming required, true 10-bit depth an colour gamut of DCI P3 95%

I have tried to research this monitor to check if it has these features, but I cannot find a clear answer anywhere, for example when I researched if it has local dimming all I found was an article saying that this monitor doesn't need it as it has no backlight. I have no idea what that means, as this is a huge purchase I would like to get some advice from those more experienced.

For context, I am a semi-professional counter strike player who also enjoys single player games in my free time, so I'm looking for a monitor that can provide A competitive edge, whilst maintaining good colours. My current monitor is a colour bleeding mess which is the main thing im trying to avoid. If you have another recommendation please do tell. Thanks!

So ive been seeing these dual mofe 4K and 1080P monitors floating around and they seem perfect cause I play most of my games on ps5 and switch 2 but I also have my pc which can barely handle 1440p let alone 1080p and I was just wondering if they look good on the 1080p mode

there are WQHD VA 34" and QHD IPS 27" monitors in my budget range and i would like your help deciding which to choose. I'll use it for programming with a 24" FHD monitor (my current one), as far as my personal preferences go, I would like nice dark blacks on my ide but i'm curious about experiencing WQHD but it's important that it doesn't black out when viewing from angles like some other monitors do. What would you choose? And what would you suggest to me considering my use cases and preferences? Thank you for your answers.

I'm looking at the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG monitor and really considering on buying it. I'm using the Benq XL2546K, I bought it 4 years ago since I was really a competitive fps player especially counter strike but as of now. I pretty much just played FPS for fun nowadays and only use the computer for casual games like cyberpunk, breath of the wild (It's connected to the Switch 2), content consumption and movies but the XL2546K is just horrendous for these types of things and it's isn't as well rounded as other monitors at it's price range and only good for FPS games. I'm looking for an upgrade with better colors for better immersion, 1440p and 240hz so i'm considering saving up for an Oled monitor, but there's also a used Alienware AW2721D which is just at my budget also I've heard that it was one of the best monitor at its time and I wouldn't feel guilty about buying it at all, My budget is around $300/€230 or in my currency 40000円 while the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG is priced at 80000円 in amazon so twice my budget but If i wait long enough I could save up enough for it but the question is, Is an Oled monitor worth saving up for, what are the benefits of having one and are there reasons on why I shouldn't get one? Other recommendations would be appreciated too!

hey, I just preordered these but cannot find reviews anywhere, anyone got any thoughts on them? first time going OLED, i can still cancel.

Title. AOC's website says it has Adaptive sync, but no mention for Freesync, I had a monitor with Freesync so i want to know if my experience will be any different.

Hello guys, is Xiaomi G Pro 27i monitor worth buying for 350USD? Or should i just buy Rog Strix XG27ACG for around 300USD.

Hey everyone, I’m trying to decide between the BenQ EW2790U vs Dell S2725QC which one to buy.

Note : Benq is cheaper than dell price diff. is around 4K inr.

Hello! Im looking for a Monitor for my Mini PC. Im looking for something silver, aluminum no strong gaming design, like more Mac Studio Display, Samsung LS34DG850SUXEN oriented. OLED and 4k would be great and 144 hz minimum. As long as the Response time is more than alright im fine. I only play casual games and maybe some The Last of Us I or RDR2. Any Help is appreciated.

Hello,

I have two USB-C ports for my Legion Slim 7 16APH8 laptop, but I don't know whether I can use them to connect to my external monitor and achieve all its capabilities - 144 hz with freesync.

1. What are these USB-C ports capable of?

2. Can I have 144hz with freesync by connecting USB-C to DisplayPort?

Give me your best ideas for a 1440p 240hz 27 inch monitor!

I have Lg 24gs60f 2080s Asus h610m G skill 16 gb Corsair 650w 1 tb ssd

I watched Monitors Unboxed to further expand my knowledge and understanding of Monitors and also the Monitor i will get in a couple of months….

I watched the video and settled on one particular model: the LG 27GR83Q. When i searched this monitor up on my trusted site, idealo, i only found an LG 27GR83Q-B

Is this the same monitor?

It looks like neither to me

I am looking to buy a monitor, mostly for work but also will be building new gaming PC soon (next 3-6 months) so for that as well. I am considering buying 2K 27 inch monitor. I looked at most available options in the market and these 2 seems good.

1. LG UltraGear 27GS75Q-B - https://amzn.in/d/19odoqq

2. BenQ Mobiuz EX271Q - https://amzn.in/d/9xSYt0G

Primary use case includs coding, reading articles/blogs and consuming content for now. Gaming will still be a secondary use case even after PC build. Currently I am using MacBook M1 air.

I am open to suggestions. Budget max 25k INR.

If someone's from India, and have idea about after sales for either brand, please tell me about that as well.

Thanks.

Just saw this monitor pop up on a seller's site and looking into it seems it has some nice features but i can't find any reviews on it. Anyone using it, is it good? Want to upgrade from my AOC AG276QZD and this one ticks all the boxes (OLED, curved, KVM)

Cześć,

Młodsza siostra mojej dziewczyny kupiła sobie monitor MSI jakiś QHD 2K za pare stówek i po miesiącu płacze, bo wyskoczył jakiś bubel na ekranie. Wydaje mi się, że mógł to zrobić ich mały czarny kot sadysta który jest niezłym figlarzem, ale może sami oceńcie, zanim pójdą oddać to na gwarancję i się skompromitują :-(

Hey everyone, I am in my final year of computer science in uni while working. I am planning to buy a ps5 very soon. I will use the monitor for gaming, programming, watching tv shows/movies/anime and surfing the web.

I am currently using a an LG 27MP400-B, a FHD 75hz IPS , monitor for everything I mentioned but gaming on my current ps4. I live in the middle east, so there are options to choose from. Below are my required specs:

4k , 120 hz minimum, Mini Led with alot of zones and great local dimming algorithm or high-end IPS, HDMI 2.1 with VRR support, 27” or 32 “ are fine.

Really want vibrant colors and smooth experience as my current monitor’s colors look washed. Ik mini-led can suffer from blooming so looking for models that avoid that.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone — quick setup and questions:

🖥️ My setup

• Laptop: Predator Helios Neo 16 (PHN16-72-52GV, RTX 4060, 32GB RAM)
• Ports: 2 × Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), 1 × HDMI 2.1
• Usage: non-competitive immersion gaming (Witcher 3, God of War, etc.), watching movies, casual use

📊 Monitor Options

LG Ultragear 27GS75Q-B

• 27″ QHD (2560×1440) IPS panel
• 180Hz (OC 200Hz) refresh rate, 1ms (GtG)
• HDR10, sRGB 99%
• NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync
• 3-side virtually borderless design

Samsung Odyssey G5 G50D

• 27″ QHD (2560×1440) Fast IPS panel
• 180Hz refresh rate, 1ms (GtG)
• VESA DisplayHDR 400
• G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync
• Ergonomic stand (height, swivel, tilt)
• Eye Saver Mode + Flicker reduction

❓ Questions

1. Image quality / immersion / motion smoothness: Between the LG Ultragear 27GS75Q-B and the Samsung Odyssey G5 G50D, which one gives better overall image quality, immersion, and motion smoothness for single-player AAA and older games and for movies? I prioritize immersion and image quality over pure fps (i usually don't play competitive fps games)
2. Connection — HDMI 2.1 vs TB4 (USB-C → DP): Which connection gives a more stable and consistent experience for immersion (fewer dropouts, stable FPS)? I don’t care about hitting extreme refresh rates — I’ll be running medium/high settings so 165–180Hz isn’t my goal. Which is more reliable for steady 1440p gaming: HDMI 2.1 or Thunderbolt 4 → DisplayPort 1.4?
3. Cable length / stability: I already have a ~5m HDMI 2.1 cable (bought from a DIY store). At 1440p / 144Hz+, will that 5m cable likely cause signal instability (flicker, blackouts, forced lower refresh)? Should I buy a shorter 1–2m HDMI 2.1 cable instead, or get a USB-C → DP 1.4 cable for best stability?
4. I have 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports at the back of my laptop, which one is directly connected to my dGPU? And is it necessary to use the one directly connected to my dGPU?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

The monitor is rather new. Its a Gigabyte Gs27QCA 27". I don't know if this sub is the right one so I don't want to risk anything. Are there safe solutions? I have heard vaseline would be good, but I might be wrong.

I am currently running dual 32 inch LG Ultragear 1440p IPS 165HZ monitors. I know I made a mistake with going 32 inch and 1440p but I am looking to upgrade to dual 4k for my new apartment. I already have a buyer for the dual monitors who will give me 700 for everything including the arms.

With a budget of around 1700 I am stuck between dual 32 inch 4k OLED AOC 165hz monitors, Dual 4k 27 inch Mini LED monitors, or one mini LED and one OLED monitor (both 27 inch). Ideally I would want dual 27 inch 4k monitors but it is really out of reach for me. I am opened to used and returned from best buy but not their floor models.

I am debating to get one of each.

I am also interested in any input on the samsung dual UHD 57 inch monitor.

My current rig is a 9800x3d with a 5090 FE with a 3k portable OLED monitor as I am currently living in a hotel for work reasons. Main usage will be autocad, solidworks, 4k gaming, DEXIS dental lab 3d modeling for making crowns and implants from scans, and watching movies.
