My cx48 arrives tomorrow to pair with my 3090, but the desk I had custom built has no ETA because the guy making it has no power from Zeta and has been hit my multiple hurricanes since I ordered. For anyone in here with the cx48, how does it compare to the larger oleds in terms of being terrifying to move. I'm trying to decide if I should open it up and make sure it's ok and start breaking it in on the old media console which would require me moving it twice when the desk gets here, or leaving it in the box and rolling the dice that he'll get power back within a couple of days to finish it up and it's not damaged and I can swap if there are issues.

The CX48 without the stand is like 31-33lbs and 40lbs with the stand. Not too bad. I managed to unpack it and mount it on the wall by myself but with a friend it would be a breeze. I guess what I'm saying is I wish I had friends. Thanks, COVID

How bad of a visual downgrade would it be to hook up a PS5 to a 1440p monitor? I prefer gaming at my desk these days and Sony allegedly still isn’t supporting 1440p output from the console.

I don't think we're 100% sure whether or not the PS5 can output 1440p yet, the PS4 couldn't but the PS5 embargo for software features hasn't dropped yet so nobody can say.

benq updated the website to remove mention of it lol they specifically deleted the line: "If you’re interested in high frame rates, you may want to consider a good QHD gaming monitor, as 1440p will be supported by the PS5 with a higher likelihood of 120Hz in that resolution." so doesn't look good. shrike82 fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Oct 30, 2020 |

I'd suspect that's based on a "not authorized to speak about feature sets that Sony hasn't confirmed" deal. It would be wildly odd to drop a console that supports both 1080p and 4k, but not 1440p. e; not to say that Sony hasn't made some wildly odd decisions in the past, mind.

However, AFAIK very few games actually output in 1440p, so really you're just getting the internal AMD scaling from 1080p or possibly 4k rather than the monitor scaling from 1080p. I don't really expect this to change. It's unfortunate.

I don't really expect this to change. It's unfortunate. I think we might see more games with internal renders of 1440p and then upscaled to hit 4k output with the next-gen consoles; there was no real point for 1440p rendering with the current-gen ones outside a small handful of games, since they were so power limited. It would be nice if Sony would come out and say for sure one way or another, but I also suppose that true 1440p output is probably a bit niche as far as Sony is concerned.

Even if it's a messy roundabout solution like the game rendering at 1440p, upscaling to 4k, and the system downscaling it back to 1440p for output that's still preferable to being stuck with 1080p output upscaled to 1440p by the monitor

terrorist ambulance posted:Has anyone actually been playing at 4k w/ the 3080? I found a place shipping LG CX 48s in Canada but I'm a bit sketched out by benchmarks showing that graphically demanding games are already pushing the 3080 to <60FPS at highest quality settings at 4K. Higher framerate / graphical quality at a lower resolution versus lower frames and settings at a higher one... control with everything maxed and all rtx options is dipping below 60 for me. rtx is also the option that would most benefit from being on an oled. so i would wait to see some of the newer games and their benchmarks.

Some Goon posted:Hows 4k vs 1440p for productivity? On windows, 4k is kind of a disaster because the scaling is really rough. Unless you get a lg tv as a monitor and use it native, a 1440p (or even better 1600) ultrawide would be a lot better.

Resolution, in a normal desktop usage scenario, kind of goes hand in hand with size and viewing distance to find your preferred PPI. For most people it seems that these are generally accepted combinations: * 24" FHD * 27" QHD * 32" or higher UHD That's around the 90-100 PPI range. Any higher than that and you'll need to scale, which is hit or miss. For me it's unacceptable. Any lower than that and you might experience a blurry image. This may also depend on the quality of your eyesight. I personally don't understand the 4k craze for monitors. Games are lower frame rate, apps and windows don't scale well consistently. Sure there are more specific use cases which I completely understand, but the typical consumer should just stick to the "regular" PPI for their needs.

I've got a 24" and 27" fhd monitor currently. The issues with 1080p at 27" are imo vastly overstated, the text is every so slightly fuzzier and in like games and stuff it's not even noticable. But I would like to have more cells / rows on screen at once, which a larger 1080p monitor doesn't help at all with, so I was going to ditch the 24" for a higher res portrait mode monitor. With 1440p I could double dip and get a nice gaming monitor too, but I don't game on a monitor much at all presently, 4k might be cheaper and I would think could have more stuff on screen, but if the implementation is bad then it doesn't really help.

People talk about windows scaling being bad but that's really not true. Windows scaling is fine. What's bad is some lovely apps. If you search online and nothing you need for work has bad scaling support, then going to 4k is a no brainer and a definite upgrade. You're just going to have to choose whether you want the extra resolution or a good gaming monitor. Unless you're planning on changing up how your gaming it seems pretty clear-cut. Even when you spend resolution on scaling, what you'll find is that you can read smaller text because it's more clear and/or you work better because higher resolution is easier on your eyes.

Yeah, I do mostly Excel, Word, Outlook, etc. all day (along with some random other softwares/web interfaces) and I used to run 3x 1080p monitors; swapping a 1080p for a 4k doubled my real estate basically. Now instead of 3 1080p windows open, I can have 6. Or two portraits on the 4k. Or two EXTREMELY WIDE spreadsheets (top and bottom split). 4k for productivity owns, in my experience.

I found a place locally that will rent a calibrator for a day for like $15 so I'm gonna do it. They have two devices: X-RITE I1 STUDIO, and COLORMUNKI PHOTO, I have zero experience with either but the former is marginally more expensive so I assume it's better?  Since this Dell is wide gamut, I guess I would have to calibrate it twice, for P3 and sRGB and make two profiles so I could then switch as necessary? Hopefully the calibrating software makes it simple enough for an idiot.

Can displays swap between SRBG and DCI P3? I thought the panel would be one or the other? Didn’t realize you could do separate color profiles for gamut ranges in a single monitor.

Apparently some can and just have a separate sRGB mode, but this one doesn't unfortunately. I really have no clue about this stuff because I've only ever had standard gamut monitors, but I think that it should be pretty easy to just scale the values to make them look like what they should. Like if in P3 255,0,0 is eye-watering red, just scale it down to 220,0,0 so it shows up like on a normal monitor. I guess at the expense of some resolution. Or maybe I'll stick with P3 and screw the losers that don't have it.

DCI P3 is bigger than sRGB, so most monitors featuring a high % DCI P3 coverage can be adjusted down to match sRGB and this is generally how you would want to use the display if you were doing anything color important with it. sRGB displays on the other hand cannot be increased to cover the larger DCI P3. Some marketing can be misleading though, for instance a display that says something like 72% DCI P3 coverage (or something in that neighborhood I forget the exact number) is really just a sRGB display by a different name because around that % DCI P3 is identical to 100% sRGB.

so I got my LG 83whateveramazonthing and really like it! a few first impressions: * the default colors seemed super loving warm compared to my Dell U2412M. I kicked it down from the default "Warm" to the "Medium" color temp. I have no idea how color temp relates to "accuracy," but now my solid-color BG looks sort of close between the two monitors, instead of like two completely separate colors. I did see there's a separate mode option for "sRGB," but that locks down the color temp option and leaves it far warmer than I'd like  * the OSC is super easy to use, even if it looks very silly * sadly, my 1060 is really struggling to push 1440p. I'm able to stay at 60+ just fine in Destiny by kicking things down from high to medium, but Doom Eternal, a game that I always thought of as being optimized by arcane magic, seems to refuse to put out 60fps at 1440p, which is a bit of a bummer. I wonder if this is why 1070s and 1080s have been selling for a ton lately - people upgrading to 1440/144hz and realizing their 1060s can't handle it, but not wanting to pay 2xxx prices and not being able to get their hands on a 3xxx * otoh, Gsync is pretty magical. like, it doesn't do any thing to really solve the problem of games "looking less than 60fps," but what it does is smooth it out enough so input doesn't feel laggy at all when it dips, which is impressive in its own right * while I'm probably going to switch to a monitor arm once my new desk arrives next week, I'm very impressed by how sturdy the stand is, and how high it up it goes! my UltraSharp's stand always had a wobble when it was at the highest setting, but this one is stable no matter how forcefully I type

It's the perfect selling feature like going up to 360Hz. Yes it's better but it also murders your performance/have to play on low quality for dubious benefits over what we already have at 1440p and 144hz. So nearly all top end monitors jam 4k in there despite being 27".

I got the 38gl too cause I'm a loving idiot. I like it. Only downside I've noticed is some shadowing at the top and bottom of the screen. Its only noticeable of you have like a pure white screen up. Colors are great, blacks aren't. Haven't noticed much backlight bleed, haven't heard the fan that people complain about Also keep in mind its not 1440p, its between 1440p and 4k. So yeah that 1060 is going to have a hard time I was going to get the oled screen but just don't want a 48 inch screen. Or 4k necessarily. If they'd just fuckijg do a 38 or even 43 inch screen I'd slam down a buy so fast

I also received my 27GL83A today, it seems good! Very weird to step down to a 27" monitor from a 34" one. I know I actually have a lot more pixels here but it doesn't feel like it given that I don't have a gargantuan curved monitor on my desk (pro: I don't have a gargantuan curved monitor on my desk.) The smaller text is going to take some getting used to. Also it turns out that "G-sync compatible" is actually not compatible with my 970, so now I get to dedicate my life to finding a 3080. My plan now is to buy a second one and some monitor arms. Does anyone have any experience with this monitor arm? Or a recommendation for a dual monitor arm? https://www.amazon.ca/VIVO-Monitor-Pneumatic-Sit-Stand-STAND-V002K/dp/B07DFT56Z7/?th=1 edit: I don't know if I have a short torso or terrible posture or both but I wish this stand would lower a lot further than it does. prom candy fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Nov 1, 2020 |

My "fix" on a 1060 6gb for Doom Eternal has been to put res scale to 50-75% (ie. 720p - 1080p) and sharpening to max. Game takes obviously a visual hit with that but it's so fast paced that the 90-120fps that you get out of that is way more valuable than the quality. Game still looks good enough until I get back on the high end GPU train. I think the idTech dark magicks definitely makes the game still look absolutely tolerable even at that resolution scale. Far Cry 5 on the other hand looks like hot poo poo if you even touch the resolution scale on 1440p.

The cheapest by €15 is the 27GL850-B and from looking at it, the GN850-B actually doesn't have a USB hub so I think I'll go for the GL850 if the panels are basically the same.
