I clean WOLED before and it is very hard to clean. But this one is very easy just use distilled water and lint free cloth and you are good to go.

Ive had one for about 3 years and it didnt hit me until recently that wow, this monitor is just amazing.

Its only 60hz, so obviously not competitive gaming orientated, but its such a versatile monitor and you can get them cheap as dirt.

360* movement, 1920/1080.

Im finding them for about 30$ on marketplace near me, i plan to use them in a budget sim car build soon.

Seriously recommend as a budget and versatile monitor

Hey guys,

I recently ordered the BenQ EW270Q from Amazon, and honestly, my first impression was amazing. The display looked great, the colors were beautiful, and overall, I was really happy with the monitor.

However, while watching a movie, I noticed that the black scenes looked unusually bright, with white light glowing around the edges of the screen. So I decided to test it by displaying a completely black screen, and the backlight bleeding was much more noticeable than I expected.

I contacted customer support and requested a replacement, but the monitor was out of stock, so I ended up getting a refund.

Now I'm looking for a monitor again, and I'm honestly tempted to buy the EW270Q once more because I really liked everything else about it. But after this experience and seeing other people report similar bleeding issues on Reddit, I'm not sure if I should take the risk again.

Hi everyone!

I found a way to access the engineering menu on my TCL 34R83Q monitor. I asked an engineer and tech blogger on Boosty about it, and here's what he replied:

"Hi. I don't remember the exact procedure, of course, but the typical way to access engineering menus is to hold the joystick in a certain direction (up, center, or down), usually the direction used to open the regular menu.

Without releasing the joystick, unplug the power and plug it back in. Keep holding the joystick until the monitor boots up, then open the menu. An F should appear in the upper-left corner. Simply select it using the joystick. TCL uses exactly the same method on all its monitors. I don't remember which direction you need to hold, but you can try all the options in about 10 minutes."

I'd like to invite everyone to share photos of the engineering menus on their TCL 34R83Q monitors in this thread.

I'd also like to figure out which of the displayed values corresponds to the firmware version.

Bought my last monitor second hand and ran the check on the seller's desk before paying. 5 minutes, no app, no upload - just the browser.

https://appdoesit.com/apps/monitor-test/

4 checks, all visual self-checks that run 100% on your device: - dead/stuck pixels: 8 solid colors, a per-pixel gradient, plus a random-pixel view - backlight bleed: a black and a dim-gray field (corner glow is normal on many IPS panels, patchy bright spots are not) - ghosting: a square that moves at the speed you set - uniformity: an 11-step gray ramp

I'm quite sure it is a sanity check, not a defect certificate - you are the instrument, what you see depends on the room and the angle. So a spot you catch is worth checking twice before you return anything.

Everything runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded, no camera is accessed and there is no account. It is one of the 153 free tools at https://appdoesit.com/apps

Try it on your own panel before your next purchase, and tell me which of the 4 caught something first :)

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to buy a PS5 Pro soon, and I'm looking for a reliable HDMI to DisplayPort adapter.

**My monitor:** Samsung Odyssey G5 34" Ultrawide (LC34G55TWWPXEN)

**Specifications:**

- Resolution: 3440 × 1440

- Maximum refresh rate: 165Hz

- HDMI 2.0

- DisplayPort 1.4

**Important note about the ultrawide aspect ratio:**

I'm fully aware that the PS5/PS5 Pro does NOT support 21:9 ultrawide output.

The black bars on the left and right sides of the screen are NOT a problem for me. I expect them and I'm perfectly happy playing in 16:9 on this monitor.

I'm NOT trying to get 3440 × 1440 or stretch the PS5 image to fill the entire ultrawide screen.

**My problem:**

I can't get 120Hz from a PlayStation through my monitor's HDMI connection. To achieve 120Hz, I want to use the monitor's DisplayPort 1.4 input with an active HDMI-to-DisplayPort adapter.

My goal is very specific:

**PS5 Pro → 2560 × 1440 → 120Hz → 16:9 with black bars on both sides**

The black side bars are completely fine. The only thing I'm trying to achieve is a reliable 1440p/120Hz signal with the lowest possible input lag.

I was considering the UPTab UP-HDMI2DPG2 active HDMI 2.1 to DisplayPort 1.4 adapter, but it's currently difficult to find.

**My questions:**

- Which active HDMI 2.1 to DisplayPort 1.4 adapter would you recommend?

- Has anyone successfully tested one with a PS5 or PS5 Pro at 2560 × 1440 / 120Hz?

- Are there any reliable adapters that work without signal loss, random black screens, handshake problems or excessive input lag?

- Most importantly: has anyone actually tested this with the Samsung Odyssey G5 34" (LC34G55TWWPXEN)?

I'm looking for a proven solution that actually works at 1440p/120Hz, rather than an adapter that only claims to support it on paper.

Again, I know the PS5 doesn't support 21:9 and I have absolutely no problem with black bars on the sides. My question is purely about achieving **2560 × 1440 at 120Hz through the DisplayPort input**.

Any recommendations or first-hand experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I just bought this from Aliexpress. Tbh, it was expensive. I will share my impressions as an average users. I don't have the expertise to review this product.

This monitor is supposed to be glossy, but tbh. It sometimes looks glossy, but sometimes looks kind of matte. I think they probably slapped a glossy coating on it, just a theory. Regardless, still looks better than matte for me, I just like glossy panels personally. I would call it semi glossy.

The monitor response times are not as good as oled, there is a bit of ghosting, please note this with local dimming enabled. It is good enough for me though. I mostly just play single player games.

Regarding the local dimming, I am someone that doesn't notice blooming compared to a lot of people. So I did not expect this but local dimming is usable while on desktop. I did not expect this.

There are three modes: low, middle and strong local dimming. The strong does indeed have OLED like blacks but it is way too dim when the scene is on the darker side, did not like that personally. I don't notice any blooming on this mode. This mode is best for really dark games where blooming can be noticeable. You are going to take a hit in brightness but no blooming.

Middle is where it is at, you get much better brightness when it comes to dark scenes, but there is slight blooming and blacks are not oled deep blacks but they are still more than black enough and way better than regular LCDs. Also, this mode seems to have less artifacting while using local dimming for desktop use. When the lights are on, I don't notice the blooming at all. When the lights are off and the display at 100 percent brightness, there is mild blooming but you forget about it, unlike the whole screen being gray like regular IPS with dark scenes.

I would say the local dimming is almost on par with the macbook pro 16, slightly worse.

I am really happy with this monitor tbh. It has some drawbacks, but it is great. I still think OLED is way better. I would not recommend someone to get this over an OLED tbh. I already have an OLED but wanted a second monitor and wanted to try something different. It is better than OLED at watching bright content or bright HDR scenes in a well lit room. I will mostly use this for lots of static type content/work.

Camera exaggerates things, just as a side note

VS gigabyte aorus fo32u2 qd oled monitor, all done with high local dimming

Hi! Im planning on using the monitor for upcoming gta 6 on an xbox series x I also play on a pc with racing games and games like Valorant. I play in a moderately bright room. What do you think my best options is. Feel free to recommend other monitors then these two my budget is $400 or less.

Can this be fixed? i accidentally left my pc on (including my monitor) for three days and when i got home, this is what I'm met with. This monitor is from dell (dell p2219h)

Recently picked up the LG UltraGear 27G610A (1440p 200Hz) paired with an NVIDIA GPU, and I ran into a really weird brightness issue when toggling HDR in Windows.

Normally in SDR, I keep my monitor brightness at 20%. When I toggle HDR on via Win + Alt + B, the monitor OSD says brightness is at 100%, but the physical screen stays very dim. It turns out the monitor physically locks the backlight to whatever brightness was set in SDR (20%).

If I open the monitor OSD while in HDR and manually nudge the slider from 100 down to 99, the backlight immediately snaps to full brightness. But as soon as I toggle back to SDR and return to HDR, it reverts to being dim again.

I also confirmed that if I raise SDR brightness to 100% first and then enable HDR, HDR turns on at full brightness right away. So the monitor seems to be failing to push the HDR backlight command during the handshake.

A few things I already checked:

• Smart Energy Saving is disabled (and grayed out in HDR anyway).
• Tested across Gamer 1 and Gamer 2 profiles.
• Factory reset the monitor settings.
• This model has no USB upstream port, so firmware updates through PC software are not an option.

Has anyone else with the 27G610A noticed this? Is this just burned-in firmware behavior on all units, or did I get a defective scaler that warrants a replacement?

I was testing this IPS monitor and noticed this weird line near the edge of the screen. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal?

Any alternatives are welcome, however must be 4K 120 fps and good with the ps5 pro.

Also are AOC monitors cheaply made? They’re all so much cheaper than competitor prices.

And is OLED worth it? I’m fine with spending more if I can have top quality gaming for the next few years.

Been trying to fix it and idk what’s wrong with it, the monitor is from Koorui

​

Disclaimer: Not a damaged monitor as I said before it only does this when waking from sleep so, not breaking rule 4 as the monitor is working perfectly fine other than these last two incidents. Just not sure if this is what is happening or not.

Second time this has happened on my new monitor and it always seems to be if something graphical is running while the monitor is waking from sleep. I'm new to monitor gaming I've settled with my old led tv for a very long time but recently updated my gpu to a AMD XFX Quicksilver 9070 OC so I wanted to get a monitor that could make better use of the card. Monitor is the KTC 32 Inch Curved Gaming Monitor 2K 180Hz (OC 185Hz) 1500R. Turning the monitor off and on again seems to rectify it so that is what leads me to believe its a handshake glitch.

Not sure what else to include, again I am new to all this high definition gaming stuff please be kind.

its hiding the mouse and idk why but can someone lmk if im just being dumb? i know bezels exist but the left side doesnt do this

I don’t really know much about what’s good or bad pricing, etc… so I am just looking for some advice on where to look and what to look for.

I use my desktop for games mostly, and while the current one is fine, it’s also got some pretty awful resolution quality (it‘s already set to its max resolution of 1920 x 1080) and it’s graphics card is 4 GB. I believe my current model is a HP 2711x, and it’s at least six years old by now.

Games I play:

Planet Zoo

Planet Zoo 2

Icarus

Minecraft - (Java Edition)

Why is it that these are so much more expensive than 27” and is it possible to find dual 24” for less than $200 each? - Coming from dual 25” 1080p, should i just go for 1440p?

I recently picked up the ROG Swift PG32UCDP along with a BenQ ScreenBar Halo for my desk setup.

The issue: the top edge of this OLED panel is far too thin, and the rear housing does not provide enough purchase for the BenQ counterweight clamp to sit securely without slipping or putting uneven pressure directly against the glass.

Has anyone with this monitor (or similar ultra-thin
ASUS WOLED displays) found a reliable workaround?

I have been using an OLED high refresh monitor that is similar in brightness to the LCD screen of the macbook. I have much more eye strain when using the LCD. this is especially true for white word documents and white pages in general. I had a LCD screen in the past and did not have this issue.
