    LG 38UC99 - 37.5'' 24:10 3840x1600 75Hz IPS FreeSync Strobing Backlight

    When I read 1ms on the advertising of an IPS monitor, then I read it's about something-something Motion Blur Reduction, then that it's virtual and is followed by an asterix..... I dont buy it. But many do. So this is all good :D

    Is this normal for a VA monitor?

    Dude if that's worth a replacement for you I may only suggest you to never buy an IPS.

    Is this normal for a VA monitor?

    I doubt you can even notice that during normal use. Looks perfect to me. You'll always have some kind of problems in the corners, that's not bleed, it's just the bezel doing its job of keeping the panel in place.

    4K monitor for console gaming

    If the console pulls out frames at 1080p (if not less) that's what the monitor will show so 4k monitor + console = no go! As for the quality of the 1080p frames, it really depends on the scaler, so it may differ from monitor to monitor but for sure they won't be better than on on a proper...

    Screen/Monitor QC - Why can't anyone get it right!!?

    Do not ask for it to be repaired unless you have no other options. Return it and ask for a full refund, then buy somewhere else. You'll have to wait for the refund to be issued though, it may take a while (1-2 weeks?) depends on the retailer.

    4k on low or 1080 high

    If you plug a 4k monitor to an xbone it runs at 1080p, so it may even be an 8k, it would have the same performances of a 1080 screen. It's the gpu that moves the pixels the monitor only shows them so on a 4k monitor you would simply have a grid of 4 pixels reacting as if it was a single one.

    4k on low or 1080 high

    Why in hell would you want a 4k monitor to play at 1080p??

    4k on low or 1080 high

    2k on 21:9 There's a freesync one too if you want, the X34 freesynced version. As for the xbone I don't know much about that but it should run at 1080p upscaled to 1440p, with black bars on the sides. Some games may have some workaround to run at 2560x1080 (upscaled at 3440x1440) but I wouldn't...

    Dual monitor issues

    Sorry but doesn't the rx 470 have only 1 hdmi? Anyway it looks like windows or amd's drivers (eventually both) bitching about the priority to assign to each screen. You should try using at least one DP, that should be the primary screen. Report back if the issue persists. Not that I really have...

    Been there done that. Still alive to tell you that nothing happens if you turn it down a couple of notches.

    Thanks for the feedback, that's all I wanted to know, especially about the fact that neither IPS nor VA handle 144hz very well. I never tried one personally but that was my idea too. 100hz, 120 tops is plenty of fun, anything above that I'll leave it for marketing bullfecis rubadub :D

    Freesync and priorities in a new monitor?

    1) Blurriness doesn't pair with screen size, it's a tiny more complex. But generally speaking IPS and VA (like the Z35) aren't still able to run at 144hz smoothly. 2) Nope 3) They're coming they're coming. 3bis) Hell yeah! 4) Go ultrawide or gtfo :o

    Help me buy an AWESOME monitor

    I should add that in a short time a whole new generation will hit the shelves but that's not there yet, and they'll cost more, even more than those two I'm afraid.

    Help me buy an AWESOME monitor

    As a dual 21:9 owner, I was seriously declaring the search over. If anyone wants an AWESOME (in caps) monitor, that's one of those two period. :)

    Curved monitor/screen opinions

    Me too I find the curve on a somehow normal desktop monitor (less than 40'' so to speak) quite meh, as you said. I must say I only tried the Dell ultrawide which has the least curvature of all the others, only 3400R vs 2400/1900 and even 1500R, but while on the Dell it was pretty much...

    ***21.9 Ultrawide Thread***

    Interesting setup. If you don't mind I'd have a bunch of easy questions for you. What's the best curvature for gaming? Do you notice the difference between IPS and VA? And between 100 and 144 Hz? Do you play upscaled on the ZR3501 or just FHD? How noticeable is the difference of resolution? In...
