What's considered a good deal for this monitor at the moment?
TBH I think its a good deal at full price (£929)
Except it's not £929 right now (£1099)![]()
Oh, sorry, yes, I wasn't paying attention.
Why would you want the G-Sync version?
The G-Sync in the black Friday sale was down to, I think, about £950. With coupons and so on it was possible to get it less than the Freesync version.
This code gives you £40 off. I am sure there are better ones. VOUCHERBOX4MON
Thanks! Quite honestly I’m not sure. I have an NVIDIA card but it seems like G-Sync doesn’t matter much these days. I know in one of ether reviews there was talk about the refresh rate being different, and maybe the colour gamut? I can’t remember.
I think the thing that worries me is the PPI. When I switch back to my 27” 1440p monitor from the 32” 4K, there is a massive difference in clarity for desktop/productivity usage, and this monitor has the same PPI as a 27” 1440p.

Thanks very muchI think I'll have to avoid this one because it sounds like it's not going to do a good job of being a productivity monitor, which is 80-90% of my usage. I'm trying to downsize from 2 monitors to 1 that does everything very well. Something like the LG 32GQ950 is probably the better choice, but I was looking forward to something that does HDR properly.
4K is far better for single monitor giving some actual vertical screen real estate.Thanks very muchI think I'll have to avoid this one because it sounds like it's not going to do a good job of being a productivity monitor, which is 80-90% of my usage.

Well, best description for the situation seem Finnish idiom:They will eventually sort the pixel issue with qd-oleds and I am sure when they do that then they will be considered the best multi-purpose monitors you can buy.
Sounds like the kinda idioms Fins come up with during Kalsarikannit4K is far better for single monitor giving some actual vertical screen real estate.
Though unless LG has decreased price, that LG is clearly overpriced for edge illuminated model.
Unfortunately 32" is grossly neglected size.
And even CES was more dead than usual for high end monitors.
(Acer playing dead for X32 FP announced in last year CES and Asus PG32UGXR might not exist at all outside that marketing)
Coolermaster Tempest GP27U is pretty much only actually available high end monitor.
Well, best description for the situation seem Finnish idiom:
Toivossa on hyvä elää, sanoi lapamato.
Which pretty much translates "It's good to live in Hope, said tapeworm".
Besides being Finnish word for "hope", Toivo is also name...![]()

Quick comparison with the 240hz LG woled monitor, watch in HDR if you can
The QD-oled is visibly brighter and has greater color volume and saturation
Got a new annoying issue, whenever I play a video in steam I get the message pop-up 'DP INPUT' then it shows again once the video is finished.
Doesn't that only happen when it switched between SDR and HDR..? If so that's to be expected

system shouldnt be switching between them though if its a windows pc as HDR isnt dynamic on windows and must be toggled on/off by the user
But I have my own issue with this monitor and will need to do an RMA.
About 50% of the time when I enabled/disable HDR, the screen will go blank - when it does this it looks like the monitor isn't getting a signal however the monitor stays on and never goes into standby and never comes up with the "no signal" message.
When it does this, neither the joystick button nor the power button does anything, its like the monitor has totally frozen up. Only solution I've found is to pull powerfrom the wall for 20 seconds to cycle the capacitors and then the monitor reboots when I plug it in again.
Unfortunately this doesn't only happen with HDR, it also occurs 50% of the time that I try waking the PC from sleep.
I've tried using different DP cables and two HDMI cables, it makes no difference, I've tried disconnecting my second monitor from the GPU, makes no difference, plug alienware into iGPU port, makes no difference.
This issue only started occurring recently after the monitor did it's first panel refresh that happens after 1500 hours of use.
I'm not alone, there is pages of people complaining of the same issue on the Alienware forums
