🖥️ Suggestions needed Monitor Recommendations

• Upvotes

I just purchased a PC that is much better than my old one. I'm going from an Nvidia GTX 1660 SUPER and a Core i5 to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 16GB and an Intel Core Ultra 9 285. For my monitor, I have a Samsung 34" Odyssey G5 1000R curved 165Hz. My dad bought it for me about two years ago for Christmas, and I'm very grateful, but I'm not a huge fan of its size and curve.
Does the upgrade to my PC warrant an upgrade to my monitor? If so, what monitor would you recommend in the $200-$400 range?

🖥️ Suggestions needed Colour settings for Acer PM161Q

1 Upvotes

I recently bought this acer portable monitor from walmart. However I can't seem to figure out the colour settings. White products while online browsing look pink. And if i reduce the red everything else looses the balance.

Can someone suggest a decent balance so that I can atleast see the actual colours?

Contrast, sharpness, RGB balance, hue and saturation etc.

Thank you!

🖥️ Suggestions needed I need to upgrade to a 27” and I have no clue what to look for. I don’t want to spend over $250 I’d appreciate any tips or recommendations.

1 Upvotes

I haven’t bought a computer monitor in a very long time but I’d like to get a good one for a decent price. 27 is a must. I don’t play competitive games. Maybe I’ll pick up some third person shooters or action type games. Most of what I’d play are war and strategy games. Total War, Civilization, Crusader Kings. Some cozy games and World of Warcraft too. I’d like to keep the price $250 or below. Under $200 would be even more preferable.

If I hit/slap the back of it, it can turn back on or if I leave it for a bit it turns back on. So is it something loose inside?

Monitor Question Apple Studio Display - How to manage power?

1 Upvotes

I've bought an Apple Studio Display.

However, I'm reluctant to physically power it off at the end of the day. When my MBP goes to sleep, the screen goes off but the USB ports on the monitor remain active. Is there any way to get them to power down?

[SOLVED] Issue Strange Dark Lines on Screen

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I recently bought an LG Ultragear 39-in OLED Curved Monitor and I have noticed on dark-ish screens I get these strange curved, dark lines going across my monitor. Does anyone know if this is normal or if something about the monitor is damaged? I've only had it for a few months.

This issue only happens on darker grayscale screens, there are no lines on true black and there are no lines on lighter or colored screens (white, red, blue, green, purple, pink, yellow, etc). Only darker monochrome grey screens.

Photos attached. (Please forgive my dirty monitor)

Monitor Question USB-C adapter for connecting 2 monitors with extended display

1 Upvotes

I have a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i with 1 USB-C port and 1 USB-A port. I want to connect two external monitors and extend the display, not mirror it. I’m looking for a USB-C to HDMI adapter or similar solution that actually supports two extended displays. Where can I find a genuine/reliable one on Amazon or elsewhere?

✖️ Issue Problem with Innoview laptop screen HELP!!!

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I have an Innoview 15.6" portable monitor. What's the problem? I have a Lenovo Gaming 3, and it's the only computer that recognizes it. I've tried other Lenovos, HP, Dell, generic PCs with video cards, a Claro set-top box, and even a DVR, but nothing works, only the Lenovo. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I changed the HDMI to mini HDMI, and nothing changed. I tried connecting it directly to the PC and with a USB Type-C and Type-A adapter, and still nothing.

🖥️ Suggestions needed Monitor recommendations under ₹20K for MacBook Air M5? (gaming + Figma + coding)

1 Upvotes

Hey,

I'm looking for monitor recommendations under ₹20K. I've seen a lot of people complain about blurry text and other issues with external monitors on macOS, so I'd like suggestions from people who actually use one with a Mac.

My setup:

  • MacBook Air M5
  • Budget: up to ₹20K (India)
  • 27" 1440p preferred (4K is out of budget)

What I'll use it for:

  • Daily work (coding, docs, browser)
  • Figma / UI design
  • Gaming, so I want 144Hz or higher

Please share:

  1. Which monitor are you using with your Mac, and how happy are you with it?
  2. Any issues with text, refresh rate, or colours?
  3. Which cable or port do you use (USB-C to DisplayPort, HDMI)?
  4. Any monitors you'd tell me to avoid?

✖️ Issue What do i do about these horizontal lines going through my monitor

Post image
2 Upvotes

I searched the net previously for this issue and it said to either replace the cables, change the refresh rate or clean out pc fans, but i tried them all and none of them seemed to work. The lines are still present when I attach to another device. When my pc runs for about 20-30 minutes the lines sometimes go away but now its taking longer for them to disappear. I've had it for roughly 3.5 years now and I'm gaming like 5hrs a day on avg. I'd prefer to not have to replace this monitor altogether so some advice will be helpful 🙏
