For someone who wants a 4k gaming monitor that isn't quite a TV, this seems pretty good.

Got the AW3423DW today and im pretty sure im going to just stick to the CX48. I cant tell the difference between the Gsync Ult and Compat at all, and while it hits 175hz it doesnt seem different enough from the 120 my CX was doing. I will fiddle with it a bit more but i see no reason to keep it vs keeping my CX48

Husband wants a new monitor for his birthday and asked me for a Samsung 27” G5 Odyssey. Is this monitor worth it for $300 or is there another one comparable in specs that would be more reliable or a better deal (see a lot of reviews about this one just straight up cracking down the middle). No idea what’s out there on the market currently, since I’m still running with two 24”s from 2012.

Gaming. I guess he wants something curved, though (I dunno if it’s just for the novelty /shrug). I’ll show him these though and see if he’s cool with them.

Curved 27 inch monitors kinda suck if you ask me.

This is a really nice curved ultrawide for the price, or the non-ultrawide version for real cheap:

Yeah curved on small monitors is another type of "wtf" because its not like theyre big and unless youre sitting too fn close its pointless. Not to mention Odyssey monitors usually have that sharp curve thats even more annoying on a small monitor.

Yeah, I would have bought any of those G8 or G9 Samsung monitors if they came in non-curved or lightly-curved.

Yeah I dunno why he wants the curve /shrug. Ended up hitting up the Best Buy nearby and they had the 32in version of the Dell QHD on sale for $299, so grabbed that. Thanks for the recommendation, hopefully he doesn’t hate it!

The DELL 32 is quite popular and known as a good monitor. If he gets grump remind of of how ungrateful he as you tried to make him happy!

LG C2 42 OLED Review

The LG 42 C2 OLED is a TV that's popular to use as a PC monitor, especially for gaming. It replaces the LG 48 C1 OLED, and it's available in a smaller 42-inch si...
www.rtings.com www.rtings.com

The LG C2 42 has an optional black frame insertion feature to reduce persistence blur. Unlike the LG 48 C1 OLED, it only flickers at 60Hz, and you can't use it at all with 120 fps content. For it to work, you need to enable OLED Motion, and you also need to make sure you disable VRR and have Prevent Input Delay set to 'Standard', which significantly increases the input lag.

Maybe I'm expecting too much... I was disappointed about the lack of BFI at 120hz, but if it's not compatible with VRR, do I want/need it?

Cross post of sorts, been looking at lg c1 tvs, and we a lot of people using like a 48" for gaming.

What's the downside of trying to use one over a conventional 27 ish monitor. Bought one of the 1440p 144hrz ones from this thread last year.


48 hard to envision, not sure you can have it at the back of a desk vs would have to wall mount and a good 6 foot plus working distance?


I am a luddite so barely can mess with much settings beyond plug play and maybe some simple onboard modes or following guides on what to change on my graphics card software

Gigabyte G27Q Review

The Gigabyte G27Q is a great budget gaming monitor. It's similar to the Gigabyte G27QC, except it has an IPS panel. This means it has wide viewing angles, but it...

I have the same question about using a 48” as a desktop monitor. It seems like it’d either be amazing or terrible.

I had the CX48 for a year then went to AW OLED then got rid of that and went to C2 48 - once youre there its hard to go anywhere else.
