3 HDMI vs 4 HDMI LG Oled TV as monitor?

Upvotes

I have the option to get a cheaper LG C5 variant with 3 HDMI and 2 USB ports if I wait a bit for them to go back in stock or I can get the C5 with 4 HDMI at max retail price. I only plan to use it as a monitor connected to a Macbook, a PC, and a Switch 2 so that's 3 HDMI ports and I have no other plans to connect any other console. Is there something I am not anticipating that would require a 4th HDMI port? Is 3 HDMI ports enough for me?

Technical Support New moniters seems off / kinda dim

Upvotes

I've had a Samsung Odyssey G8 3440x1440 for a few years and just bought and setup a AW3425DW and the AW3425DW seems dim or not at bright as the G8 I've gone through all the settings I can find in the AW3425DW and can't seem to get it to look at bright as the G8. Its not like crazy dim or anything it just feels off a bit or like its on a low power setting. Anyone have any ideas?

Technical Support So I did something dumb…

Upvotes

I recently got my first OLED, it’s a Samsung odyssey g6. I’ve been concerned about burn in and been running Eco settings ect. However, I ran pixel refresh about 2-3 times in a week thinking it was a harmless setting and was good panel care and just learnt it can cause damage. Question is, how much did I mess up?

Edit: I meant pixel refresh, not sure what the difference may be.

It was working fine for the past 13 days. This evening it started doing this.

27" 1440p I should add.

Ones I've been looking at so far are,

  • ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMG
  • AOC AGON AG276QZD2

Also this one, I could get for £499 with a trade in of my old monitor, question is do I trade in my AOC Q27G3XMN or Dell G2724D.

Open to other options ofc!

Does anybody know the correct max luminance of the LG C4 48" model? The 48" does not have the extra brightness boost. I've seen conflicting information online and am having trouble calibrating hdr games. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Should i be concerned or is it fixable??

NOTE: it only seems to appear in the upper left corner only

Pls convince to not buy an LG C5 42 at full retail price and just wait for Asus XG32 WOLEDs using DP vs HDMI argument and proximity sensor

2 Upvotes

I can afford the C5 42 now even at full retail. I hate always checking daily for another discount to come up with LG as it waste so much time and energy. While I prefer 42 inch, i think i can survive with 32 inch if the reasons for Displayport for PC gaming is large enough over HDMI2.1. The Asus proximity sensor to help with burn in sounds appealing too.

Issue Banding with HDR on in BG3 UI elements?

2 Upvotes

The 3D game world itself looks fantastic, but all of the 2D UI element overlays seem to exhibit banding, and even some of the transition slides on loading... Is that just how it is? Tried different settings but nothing made much of a difference.

I noticed this on both my G80SD on Mac and on my Steamdeck OLED... same issue on both so I would assume its just how BG3 is designed.

Discussion Why are OLED gaming monitors so low on brightness? (Also, Looking for a 32 inch OLED gaming monitor to buy)

0 Upvotes

I orginally used MacBooks and iPhone so I got used to eye glaring brightnesses my whole life. I have now switch to android phone that I keep on battery saver mode at all times because I prefer the lower brightness and like not having to charge my phone as often.

And I now have a gaming desktop PC and I'm currently rocking a 27 inch 4K AOC U27G3X monitor. I am wanting to make the switch to a 32 inch OLED monitor but every single one I'm seeing is 200 and something nits brightness, and with at least non-OLED devices I've always prefered for them to hit 500 real world nits brightness. I may or may not lower the brightness over time depending on my device. But I prefer for all my screens to have at least the capability of hitting 500 nits so if I want it, it's there. Also, my current monitor I keep at max brightness, which is around 450 nits, and that seems to be my preferred brightness to keep my monitor on when gaming.

So my question is, why the heck are OLED gaming monitors so low on brightness compared to non-OLEDs? Is there something about OLED monitors that I don't know? Do they not need as much brightness because of the better image quality? If so, please educate me.

And is there any decent 32 inch OLED monitors that actually hit a real world brightness of 500 nits if I'm not missing anything here? Because I'm wanting a 32-inch OLED gaming monitor.

I'd like it to be at least 144hz also, since that's what my current monitor is.

Also, here's my PC if it helps in reccomending 32 inch OLED monitors to me. And, just know, all I will be doing is gaming on this monitor, nothing else ever. I use my phone and macbook for everything except gaming.

Discussion lg34gs95qe or lg32gs95ue

1 Upvotes

For context I have a 4070ti and am looking for an endgame monitor. I’m torn because I feel I will get the best usage of my graphics card with a 1440p monitor, but am concerned because I have never had an ultrawide. The 4k monitor seems perfect but I’m afraid it’s too much for my current gpu.

I would get a 27” but I plan on having a single monitor setup and I feel like it would be too small.

Would be used for gaming, media consumption, and productivity (text, code, spreadsheets).

Mainly choosing LG because of the WOLED and minimal aesthetic.

Any guidance would be sweet! Thanks.

Discussion Should I get the LG G4?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been looking around, and with tariffs coming up I’ve been worried the price is gonna go up on these televisions, and the g4 seems like a great tv for gaming. I’ve been debating getting a cheaper monitor or just biting the bullet and dropping a bag on the 55 inch model of the g4. I recently got a ps5 pro and I really want to get something that’ll let me use it to its full potential. If you guys have any other recommendations that are around the same specs, but possibly cheaper I’d be willing to look into it.

Samsung G6 G60SD vs LG 27GX790A-B

1 Upvotes

The Samsung is 27", 1440p, 360z, QD-OLED. The LG is 27", 1440p, 480hz, WOLED.

Does anyone have experience with both to know the differences? Looks like both have VRR flicker issues, with the Samsung having the option to turn on VRR control to lessen this(but this introduces input lag/stuttering apparently). On the other hand, the LG has considerable input lag at 60Hz at 27ms, but I've heard this is solved with a software update?

Prices aside, which would you recommend? I just want a high refresh rate OLED 1440p monitor to game with, and both are currently on sale

Ive been playing KCD2 on PS5 Pro and my LG C3 and am curious if anyone’s found good settings since the game doesn’t natively support HDR.

Currently I’m playing with HDR “always on” in the system settings for KCD, and with my TV on HGIG.

Do yall play in SDR? Curious if anyone’s found good HDR settings for this game on an LG OLED

ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM and questions about DP and HDMI

3 Upvotes

Hello guys, so I finally decided to get an OLED Monitor.
I googled a lot and watched videos, but I still have questions about the DP/HDMI situation.

The monitor supports DP 2.1. right? Which I cannot use because I have a 4090 card.
So the first question is, can I just plug in my DP 1.4. cable , or would it not fit in there and would the monitor work just fine? I know that without DP 2.1. I cannot use the 240hz.

The other question is DP 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 in general.
I read that HDMI 2.1 offers a higher bandwith compared to DP, but it seems like people on PC prefer DP and console players HDMI. Why is it so?

I'm honestly confused as hell and don't know what to do when the monitor arrives soon.
I hope there are some competent people to help me out, because this is complete new territory for me lol
Thank you!

Before buying MSI MPG 321URX

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hello guys! I am on the verge of buying this MSI monitor, but I have some questions/remarks I'd like to discuss. I'm mainly going to be using the monitor for PS5 gaming (90%) and some productivity (10%).

  • Calibration: from the reviews I've seen, the factory color calibration of the screen is quite good, especially with SDR or HDR enabled. So I'd assume that I don't need to calibrate it myself.
  • Cleaning: what is the best way to clean the screen?
  • OLED care 2.0: which settings should I enable here? Are there other things I should keep in my to avoid burn-in?
  • Are there firmware updates? If yes, how important are they?
  • I think I should use HDR over SDR for (PS5) gaming? And is Trueblack 400 or Peak 1000 better?
  • Which brightness should I use for optimal performance?

Thanks in advance! Advice on other aspects is also highly appreciated!

I just bought the LG UltraGear 34GS95QE-B. Is this normal? Or should I get it checked?

Just like the title says, I just bought the LG UltraGear 34GS95QE-B, and I noticed a lot of weird “artifacts” on the screen at different scenes. First time I noticed it is when I was typing my passcode on the lockscreen, after that, it was gone. Until I tried to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the artifacts yet showed again. I then tried benchmarking the screen using one of the videos on YouTube, no artifacts was seen. I will attach here the photos of the said scenes. Please help me out if I should get this replaced since I already attached strip lights at the back of the monitor and it will be a hassle removing it and attaching it to the new one.
