This DisplayPort adaptor apparently does 4K@120Hz so you don't have to wait for a HDMI 2.1 graphics card to be released. https://www.overclock3d.net/news/gpu_displays/this_displayport_adapter_makes_4k_120hz_hdmi_2_1_possible_on_today_s_gpus/1 I wonder if gsync will still work with it ?

Just take some basic precautions and you should be fine in avoiding burn in:- 1) black background 2) no icons on desktop 3) set taskbar to auto hide 4) use a screen saver

Are you running the screen in it's native resolution 3840 X 2160 ? I used to own this monitor and it was very sharp at 4k res.

My PG279Q does that sometimes, maybe once every couple of weeks. Switching the monitor off and back on again fixes it so not really bothered by it. I bought it a couple of months ago and there's no other issues with it.

I purchased the PG279Q recently as I thought I might want to go triple screen in the future when higher performance graphics cards are available. Also I don't really like curved monitors. I used a 40" 4K monitor for over a year which is wider than a PG348Q and at no point did I think it needed...

Same here, I'm currently using a 27" 1440P monitor at arms length. Previously I had a large 40" 4K monitor and even that was just over an arms length away (about 33").

I went from a large Philips 40" 4K monitor to the Asus PG279Q. It was definitely worth it. Gsync and high refresh is great tech for gamers.

I used the Philips 40" 4K monitor for over a year before recently getting a 27" 1440P IPS gsync (Asus ROG Swift PG279Q). I would recommend the Asus to most people, the tech is more rewarding for gamers (high refresh, gsync etc.). 4K was a struggle to drive (980ti) with some games. (28" is too...

You could get a PG279Q and a secondary monitor and it would still work out cheaper than a PG348Q. I use a 21.5" 1080P IPS in portrait mode next to my PG279Q. I often use the secondary monitor to stream YouTube or football and display my front door cam while I'm browsing or gaming on the PG279Q.

I used to do that as well for very demanding games like Witcher 3. It's actually equivalent to a 37" ultrawide. I'm not impressed by the ultrawide format and curved ultrawide is even less appealing. So last week when I decided to try high refresh/G-Sync, I went for the Asus 27" PG279Q. I...

I hooked up a "Dell 1080P 60Hz" next to my "ROG Swift PG279Q" and G-Sync still works fine on the ROG Swift.

I currently have the Philips 40" 4K and the 27" Asus ROG Swift PG279Q. Out of the two I'd recommend the Asus (or the Acer equivalent) to most people. (Don't go below 40" for 4K).

Yes, I always play Witcher 3 at (3840 x 1648) on my 40" 4K. Average about 45 fps with my 980ti with most settings turned up but hair works off.

Burn-in is not really an issue. I've had that pixel orbiting thing turned off since I purchased the monitor a year ago. Things like the windows desktop background and taskbar which stay on screen in the same position all day don't get burned in (I use sRGB mode which is 100% brightness).

I've been using one for years. I got the wall mount version and it has no issue holding the Philips (you'll need to buy a vesa 200 adaptor plate).

No, a steering wheel still caused issues if it was switched on when I started my PC. So I went back to a UEFI partition when I later installed Windows 10. You can either use a USB hub with on/off switches or disable USB initialization in the BIOS Fast Boot menu although that breaks the...

You get used to a 40" 4K screen very quickly. I recently added another 21.5" 1080P display. When gaming full screen, it's useful for showing stuff like TeamSpeak or my front door IP cam or telemetry for racing games etc.

Philips 40" 4K is great for browsing and general PC use. For gaming, fast moving FPS games can do your head in on this monitor. When I game, it's mostly sim racing which is good on this monitor and sometimes third person RPG like Witcher 3, Fallout etc. which is not bad as you're mainly...

NIRCMD will do multiple monitors and refresh rates as well. See the second link for the parameters. (The custom resolution has to be set up in the display driver first before trying to use NIRCMD). Also, I found that when you update the display drivers, the custom resolutions get removed and...

There's a standalone command line utility called NIRCMD:- http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html http://nircmd.nirsoft.net/setdisplay.html Create a file called "SetResUW.cmd" in the same directory as "nircmd.exe" and put the following command in the file:- nircmd.exe setdisplay 3840...
