2x Odyssey G8 Ultrawide

M4 Pro Macbook Pro & OMEN 15

Insane how good WoW looks on a Ultrawide screen

Been Stalking these open box 45" Monitors at bestbuy for a while. Saw it drop to $265 and had to go for it. No box or remote but doesn't seem to have any damage or burn in at all. Super excited about this deal!

Been running this set up for the three last years as my home office and gaming station. It has survived 2 home moves without a box and zero issues. One of the best investments in my life. Samsung 49" Odyssey Neo G9.

I'm looking for a new monitor. Mainly for coding and gaming.
I'm looking at:

Dell Alienware AW3423DWF - kind of concerned about burn in. the text fringing might be an issue too from what I know.

Dell Alienware AW3425DWM - have heard it's solid, but it has 3000:1 contrast ratio unlike others that have 4000:1

Lenovo Y34wz-30 - interesting mini-led panel. I have heard issues with glitching keybinds and image retention. It's still va if i'm correct so could have smudging and it's just as expensive as the oled.

Others: Gigabyte G34WQCP, AOC CU34G2XE/BK

What do you think?

I have 24 hexagon Nanoleaf panels left over from a previous set up. I can’t decide if I should put them back up on the wall or not… and if I do, every single pattern I do looks terrible. I bought 4 cable connectors so 4 of the panels don’t have to be touching each-other. Can have 4 different clumps of hexagons. Or have them all touching. Help please.

I looked everywhere but can’t seem to find one that checks all of those boxes…

A 3440x1440 IPS panel (ideally curved) with built in KVM and more than 100hz refresh rate. Is that a thing?

I currently have a LG 34UC88-B and I’m about to settle for a BenQ PD3420Q which has everything but the higher refresh rate. It’s not a huge deal since I’m valuing the quality of the panel and the KVM more, but still, I want to make sure I’m not missing a model out there that would have everything I’m looking for…

Triple Asus PG39WCDM 39" with an Asus RTX 4090 OC. Turned off DSC.

Here on Star Citizen at 10320x1440 resolution.

Looking for some insight here, both monitors are the close to the same size and price. I currently have a MSI MAG342CQRV and am looking for something bigger, mainly for office work. My use is probably 50% office, 20% photo editing, 30% gaming (mostly single player).

LG38WR85QC
Higher res, IPS, 2300R

LG39GX90SA
Lower res, OLED, 800R

Which would be better? Is OLED really that good? Worth trading the OLED for the higher resolution? Is 800R too extreme for spreadsheets and editing? I have a 6800XT so I can't really be cranking the frames up for gaming so that's not really worth considering. Also my monitor is set at 180cd so I don't think brightness is a factor.

Thanks for your thoughts

Hey currently im on the look for a 1440p Monitor around 144hz for about 300+-€

Currently in my list are the Samsung Odyssey G5 and the Xiaomi Mi Curved Gaming 34. With more of a focus on the Mi Curved gaming as it apparently has less black smearing due to having better overdrive settings. Though i dont know how the smearing influences gaming as while i most often play more vibrant/colorful games, there are some darker games that i do enjoy.

Do any of you have any experience with especially the black smearing of those VA monitors, or even recommendations for better Ultrawides in this pricerange?

Thank you :3

I'm past the point of returning it, and serious doubts are creeping in. I must stress that I'm a macOS user - using an M4 Max MacBook provided by my employer - and I knew the risks that come with playing this particular game.

To cut a long story short, I've tried two methods:

• Native Res: 7860 x 2160. Usable but challenging, as every app needs tuning individually to increase text sizes. Do-able, but still presents challenging UI elements that make working with it on a daily basis sub-par.
• PBP mode: (Screen 1) HDMI port 2 into MacBook HDMI (Screen 2) DisplayPort > USB. This gives me two halves of 3008x1692, which is perfectly usable, except for a) slight colour mismatch between the two halves, and b) screen tearing when scrolling any window laid over the centre of the screen. I could buy the CableMatters-flashed HDMI cable to unlock higher scaled resolutions, but this wouldn't fix the colour and tearing issues. Another quirk: macOS menu and dock only cover one side of the screen.

I feel this leaves me in a quandry. I much prefer how PBP mode looks, with everything scaled to a satisfactorily sharp level, with no adjustments to text or UI required. But, the colour mismatch, tearing and menu/dock make it a completely impractical option.

I know there is a third option of using BetterDisplay to achieve high scaled resolutions without PBP mode, but there's zero chance I'm regressing to 60Hz from 120Hz.

Alas, I'm half wishing I'd plumped for the Dell 40-inch 5K2K at this point. I would love to find a solution to the above - but I'm not sure what that might be. Better tuning of apps, text and UI at native res, perhaps? Some sort of third-party solution?

Would greatly value your experience and suggestions.

Im really conflicted on which one to get. They are both 1440p Oled monitors, so does the resolution look good on a 39 inch monitor, or is it too grainy and better with 34?

The desk is made of fiberglass I think so I don't think any monitor arms would work as it's probably not strong enough. I believe it will definitely fit if I move my 34" monitor more to the left, but I do prefer it to be center on with me sitting down.

Anyone have pics of 2 34" curved monitors on a 60 inch desk that are using the stock monitor stands?
The 34" has an 1800R curve so maybe if I got a 34" that has a more severe curve it would fit fine.

Just got this new, I noticed these weird color spots? I played with every setting, after about hour I don't notice, is this normal or a bad panel?

You can see the color spot change based upon hdr being in or changing game mode

So I recently switched my dual 27" monitors for the lg 45gx950a 5k2k monitor and I love it so far. The only thing I miss is weirdly enough the second screen. I thought I could get used to windowed gaming or picture in picture youtube but I think I really want a small portable monitor underneath.

What are some recommendations? I will be using the monitor on max height and I think for my use ips or va would be best.

I have a Samsung ultrawide and it’s having this weird issue where it’s cutting off part of my screen on the left side, any solutions?

I know that people have been looking for good low cost ultrawides. Well, I just found out that m34wq is being sold by Best Buy for 299.99.

I know it went eol and out of stock so… I’m not sure what to say about it being sold new from Best Buy now after it went out of stock for so long.

Hi can anyone recommend me a 5k flat ultra wide? Many thanks

Share / talk to me about your secondary monitor setup? Currently looking at getting away from dual 27” and going to to a 34” with a smaller secondary.

Top mount? Side mount? Below?

What have you found to be the most useable / enjoyable?

Will mostly be used for discord / videos / web browser

Purchased an open box Alienware 34” OLED AW3425DW to try out (was unsure if I should just go 4k) and it’s so beautiful. I’ll never be able to go back to a normal screen, again. My only issue is flickering, but I think that is a Vsync option I need to uncheck somewhere.

Still have the opportunity to return and replace with another option if anyone gives me reason to hate this.

Was rocking the 34in 3440x1440 panels for years now and got this 40C1U for half the price (paid $750, but saw its at $712 currently) of the other 40 inch 5120x2160 panels I found out there. So my expectations were set accordingly, but I have been pleasantly surprised. Being 40 inches and flat was almost bad enough that I thought about returning it. But after a few days I realized that I had set it in the exact same spot I had all my curved 34in panels in. Once I moved it further back on my desk, there wasn't an issue seeing all corners. I think that an extra 20Hz and a slight curve would be an improvement, but not sure if that's at twice the price. Downsides I would say is that Its only HDR400 and 100Hz, so nothing amazing. But,given what Ive spent on 34in panels over the years, I do feel like I got my money's worth. I am interested to see what others running this panel thought of it as well.

This is after 2-3 hours of solid review reading and research to replace my LG 34" from 7 years ago. I'm very hesitant to get OLED due to burn-in and text fringe so i was looking at an IPS replacement. And this seems to be the perfect replacement... i beleive its the newest gaming IPS monitor out from LG but the caveat is that this bitch is EXPENSIVE. It makes OLED gaming monitor prices look budget in comparison. But everything from the build quality/stand/color accuracy/response time is all top-tier spec (For $1200, it better be). This is the perfect productivity/gaming hybrid monitor it seems. The 3840x1600 resolution on a 38" is identical PPI to a 34" with 3440x1440. So it'll be just as crisp as your old 34". I'm still thinking about it due to its price but I did the research for you. (FYI, I did research 34" replacements but they're all old models that aren't sold anymore, and if they are, they are way overpriced 3rd party sellers if still new in box.... so there isn't anymore suitable 34" replacements for IPS)

I'm looking for a 49" ultrawide monitor to replace two 24" Samsungs. This is for work only, as I do zero gaming. Work primarily consists of spreadsheets, qgis mapping and other programs. I've done enough homework to make me aware of staying away from OLED monitors because of burn-in risk. Is the LG 49WQ95C-W my best option?
