or your catalyst control centre was doing something funky?

Back when I tried HDMI out, I didn't have CCC installed.

Doesn't matter, there will be no difference in quality etc. HDMI and display port are needed in order to use the built in speakers though.

Or the audio in 3mm jack. Im sure I seen one on the back of the monitor.

I slept on it and i changed my mind. Gonna either wait for the 34um95 to come down in price or wait for the 29" of the um95 models to come out, if they even plan to release it soon

So far with the aoc/asus/lgs being so expensive.... perhaps this Lg is the stop gap measure and then in few years time 4K/144hertz/Gsync+free sync screens will appear in the masses

And you'll be able to run one without spending a small fortune on graphics cards!

Just pulled the trigger on one of these. Am I best using DVI-D or HDMI?

Nexus18 · 10 Oct 2014 at 17:03

Doesn't really matter.

Glad to see so many people jumping onto these 21.9 AR monitors now :cool:

Divine Pain · 10 Oct 2014 at 23:02

Meh.. went nuts and gone for the 34um95 instead.

Enjoy! I'm much preferring my 27" 1440p however!

My LED lighting arrived today and have to say it does do a decent job. Crappy pics, looks better in "real life". I will probably cut of another few LED's as it is still rather bright!

Definitely gives the perception of an improved contrast ratio.

What LED's did you use for this? Or if you are not allowed to say on here, could you PM me?

They're just USB LEDs - like the ones in the 'Case Mods' section!

How many of those strips do you place behind the monitor to create that type of backlighting...?

It looks quite effective.!

Nexus18 · 13 Oct 2014 at 11:40

Just the one.

I stuck mine just above the top VESA mounting holes.

The LED strip is VERY long, had to cut of quite a bit. The LED strip starts at about 3" for both sides.

Vimes · 13 Oct 2014 at 12:24

...ah (got my thick head on here) so they are stuck to the rear of the monitor..! I didn't know that you could cut them, so one would be enough (50cm long it seems).

It looks very nice, you have done a good job there
