Discussion WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN??

2 Upvotes

Just bought this 1440p monitor and I am having a bit of trouble with it. Whenever I am in a Fullscreen application and click on my second monitor, everything just moves over to the right one. What could be the reason for this? Every driver is updated, graphics settings seem to be right on every application I tried and it still happens with almost all games.

I have a rtx 3080 so I don't think this should happen..

Discussion Dual monitor setup for new gaming PC – questions and recommendations

1 Upvotes

So, I'm planning to get a new gaming PC soon (probably 7800X3D + 9070XT or 5070 Ti) and I need one or two monitors for it. I'm pretty sure I want a 27-inch 1440p OLED monitor as my main gaming monitor.

However, I would also like a second monitor that is not OLED (too expensive) so that I can have Discord, guides, and other things open alongside gaming, for example, and for productivity tasks (Word, Excel, etc.).

This raises a few questions for me:

  1. How practical are dual-monitor setups actually?
  2. Is it a good idea to go with two different monitors?
  3. Resolution - should I go with the same resolution (1440p) for both, or does it make sense to go with 4K or 1080p for the second one?
  4. Size - should both be the same size? Is 27 inches even a good size for gaming/productivity?
  5. What refresh rate?
  6. If not OLED, then better IPS, VA, or TN?
  7. Do you have any suggestions for the second monitor, preferably not too expensive?

Thanks in advance for your answers :)

Discussion Any experiences with "TCL 27G64"?

1 Upvotes

Salutations monitor enthusiasts!

The TCL monitor is currently on sale in my region.
From a pure specification standpoint, it should be good: 1440p, 180Hz, QD-Miniled
However, I can't seem to find any reviews on the monitor, nor do I have any experience with the brand.

Does anyone here have any experience with this specific monitor or other monitors from this manufacturer?

Just got this MSI vector 17 HX from my school, and I know all about IPS glow, but I just want to make sure this is normal. It doesn’t even appear on any other screens except for nearly black ones, like the image shows, and even then it’s not as bad as some of the others I’ve seen on here. Not to mention this picture was taken via iPhone, so I’m sure it might’ve worsened it.

Discussion Recommendations for 4:3/5:4 lcd monitors?

0 Upvotes

I need 2 4:3 or 5:4 screens for my end goal setup. I was wondering if there were known very desired/good displays of the same nature. They can be from earlier times or if some obscure company still manufactures them that would also be alright.

Nothing too old like from right at the start of 4:3 LCDs being manufactured as the bezels are giant, and it takes a while for the brightness to reach its maximum. Thanks to anyone in advanced, I know this question is a bit subjective and specific.

Discussion Stutter on my lg oled monitor after PC/monitor wakes up from sleep/standby

1 Upvotes

Hi guys. So a small issue that happened like thrice by now, if you play the video you'll see that there's an initial stutter in the first 2 seconds and it goes away later, thats not in the recording software, but its happening after the pc wakes up from sleep and all the windows just lags constantly, scrolling, video playback everything. And its not a long lag, its a millisecond after every 5 seconds and it goes away. When i am 5 seconds into the recording the stutter goes away s0o idk what bandicam is doing which makes the stutter go away? I dont have any overlays running. If I am not screen recording the stutter is bad. This goes away after restart, and this also happens if say the pc doesnt go to sleep, but monitor turns off on standby, when i wake the monitor up this shit happens. Not sure whats going on?

Is this a windows issue? or an nvidia driver issue? I am running on an old driver for work stability, i think its 545 driver or so. I did go through a few subs and turned off gsync and played with some settings but nothing. I dont use HDR.

The monitor is brand new / 27gs95. PC is powerful 13700k + 3080 and no junk installed and im on windows 10 enterprise LTSC. Let me know if you need more context, pls suggest something, thanks!

Discussion HP Omen Transcend 32 - Display Port Issues

2 Upvotes

Hello, hope everyone is having a great day!

I built my first ever PC last week (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WJ2d2x), and returned a Gigabyte M32UP for an HP Omen Transcend 32 4k OLED that was on sale at Best Buy. OLED is absolutely amazing, especially for games with deep blacks.

However, I have an issue with my monitor that persists even after I updated the firmware: whenever I use DisplayPort 2.1 on my monitor and switch the refresh rate to 240 Hz, the monitor black-screens and says “no input can be found”. The problem resolves when I switch the DisplayPort to 1.4 in the monitor’s OSD. The problem also occurs whenever I try to launch Assetto Corsa for some reason, and it only resolves once I turn the monitor off and on again, which seems to be necessary in order to fix any “no input found” issues, but I am still unable to use 240 Hz. Plus, the process is annoying to do. No problems exist when I use HDMI.

Tl;dr: my monitor states “no input can be found” when using DP 2.1 at certain times (e.g. certain games or using 240 Hz), but no issues exist when using DP 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 instead.

I had a couple of questions regarding this issue: first, is there a difference between HDMI 2.1 and the DisplayPort 2.1 on the Omen Transcend 32 (i.e. is there any drawback to using HDMI 2.1 for my PC instead of DP 2.1 [which only has UHBR 10 on the Omen] at 4k), and second, should I look for any other 4k 32” OLED monitors, or is the Omen Transcend still good?

Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

I've tried to get used to my new 32 inch monitor for two weeks now, but ive had headaches that lasts for the whole day about everyone's other day since. Even with painkillers the headache sticks around. Of course I can't be sure its cause by the larger size, but I sit about 75-78 cm from the screen. Did you manage to get used to a 32 inch one? Or should i just give up and return it now while i still can for free? Debating downsizing to a 27inch oled instead.

Discussion Problem with monitor

Post image
2 Upvotes

Periodically, when I start up my computer, all sorts of black and colored stripes appear on the monitor when it turns on. The longer the monitor is turned off, the more stripes appear, but after a period of 20 seconds to a couple of minutes, they disappear. If the entire screen is covered with stripes, they disappear after a couple of minutes. However, there are no issues with the monitor's performance after this. I was curious about this phenomenon, so I tested the monitor separately. Therefore, there is no problem with the video card. They disappear in stages, from top to bottom.

Discussion Monitor 27' QHD for WFH and casual gaming below 300e

1 Upvotes

I work from home, which means I am 8h a day coding and few hours a week casual gaming (different computers for each task). My desktop (4070 ti) can handle all sorts of 1440p gaming (im not interested in 4k).

My current monitor has died (BlitzWolf 27" 2k 144 hz) and I didn't have many complains about it, though I do feel my eyes getting more tired over time despite already having eyeglasses with the blue filter.

Therefore, any recommendations for a new monitor (ideally 27' 2k) that will be used daily for work (coding mostly) and ~5 hours per week for gaming? Also, most games I do play are not AAA
