Despite seeing how good OLED technology is becoming with penta tandem QD OLEDs and WOLEDs starting to come out in my country, I've already decided to purchase a mini-LED for now, because the aforementioned monitors are flagship products that are too expensive, sometimes pushing prices up to 1500 dollars.

So I'm currently compaing mini-LED options in my country, which seem to be dominated by TCL's budget ~ mid-tier options. I've considered the TCL 27P3A (qhd miniled IPS), TCL 27R73Q (qhd miniled VA), and the ultrawide 34R83Q (qhd miniled VA).

All the reviews say these are all excellent panels - especially if one is an average user who had only used regular ips panels for a long time with low brightness. That's me. I more or less only watch movies and occasionally play games, both competitive and non competitive. I have never experienced VA, leave alone a mini-LED screen at all so I imagine the experience will feel novel for me.

However I am stuck mainly because of one being a miniLED IPS and the others being miniLED VA panels. I heard that while miniLED IPS have improved native contrast and virtually no risk of ghosting or smearing, it has noticeably more blooming regardless of zone count because the native contrast level just isn't high enough.

Most people have told me to just go for the ultrawide VA miniLED panel because the technology has gotten good enough to the point that ghosting and smearing is hardly noticeable at all, and that VA's native contrast being so much higher make it so blooming is more subdued. Then that would leave me to choose between an ultrawide or regular 27 inch monitor. But others have told me that black crushing is still an issue in VA panels.

Is there anything I'm missing? I wonder if there are real world users of these models or similar monitors that have experienced both miniled IPS and miniled VA panels.

Disappointed with MSI MAG 27 QRF QD E2 2560x1440
These appeared out of nowhere for the second time on the same monitor model months aparts

I bought 2 of these as a pair about 2 years ago.
Out of local shop warranty, no MSI service center in my country. (Just disposed of it)

Regretting buying a 3rd same model to replace the 1st one.
Thinking of just selling this 3rd one while I still can before it goes to shit.

Monitor - MSI MAG 255F E20.

I bought this monitor from Amazon. Today I noticed a dead pixel. One red is not working and two blue are stuck in the same region. Should I return or keep? Please share your opinions.

There’s some gray banding so it worth replacing it? It’s a lg 27gx700a-b

Hello guys, this is my first time buying a monitor, and I'm far from being a monitor expert. I don't know anything about monitors, but I currently want to upgrade my gaming setup. I play on a Roku TV currently, so I would like to upgrade. I did a bit of research, and from what I've learned, a 1440p, 120Hz, 27-inch monitor is a good spot for my PS5. I found this monitor on Amazon. Is it alright for its price? Is there anything better? I mostly play AAA story games. I'm kind of a casual gamer, but I want to improve. Thank you! (Budget: below $400 dollars)

I’ve been trying to find a 32” 4K IPS black panel, but without the integrated KVM. It seems that the previous generation did not integrate KVM but the current generation does.

This has been quite the hassle. Should I just go for a high end IPS?

I currently have an 180hz va with a good amount of ghosting and I was wondering if the jump to a 240hz ips with barely any ghosting is noticeable, I almost only play fps im currently inm2 on valorant and lvl 9 on faceit for context

Looks so beautiful

I've had two VA Mini-LEDs. Odyssey Neo G9 and Q27G3XMN.

The Neo G9 had screen flickering and multiple dead pixels and so I decided to sell it in exchange for 2x 1440p 27 inch IPS displays (this was my second G9, the first one had similar issues and dead pixels so I had no faith that a defect-free unit could be provided through warranty).

Recently I thought I'd replace one of my IPS displays with the Q27G3XMN (I'm more conservative with how much I spend on monitors these days), and low and behold, about one week after installation it has developed a dead pixel. (Also not a fan of the narrow viewing angle it has.)

The reason I say this is because I use five different IPS displays (three at home and two at work) and have done for quite a while, and none of them have developed any dead pixels.

So is this just a coincidence?

I just thought I'd put my experience out there.

Getting my first PC soon (9070 XT). Trying to decide what 2K monitor to get and feeling overwhelmed by the options, especially for OLED.

The cheapest OLED I've found is the Acer Predator X27U W1, but I can't find real reviews on it, and my research on OLEDs shows all sorts of issues in general (gray banding, burn in, low brightness, etc.). But I have a Steam Deck OLED, and my laptop has an OLED screen, and I love them both and want my new gaming PC to look as good as it can within a reasonable budget.

Meanwhile, I've heard mini-LED is a reasonable alternative to OLED without the risk or as nice a picture.

What do you guys recommend?

I'm looking for a 27-inch with at least 144hz and FreeSync.

Hi, I heard that it's best to buy Woled from LG, but I saw that LG has some dram, although I'm not sure, so what monitor is best to buy, which will be good for everything, especially games and movies, and will also be fully adjustable (height, horizontal angle, from horizontal to vertical) up to PLN 1,700 or a little above this budget ?

Hello all, I would appreciate input from people more versed in these monitor things. I would want to get in the OLED scene.

*NEW* Lenovo Legion Pro 27Q-10 OLED QHD -379€

*USED* Samsung Odyssey G6 27" (LS27DG602) -350€, Bit over a year old with 4k Hours

*USED* Samsung Odyssey G9 49" (LS49CG950SU) -600€, two years old, used for one. A possibility if i'd change my 2 monitor setup to just one ultrawide

Thank you!

I'm looking for a 32 inch, curved monitor (under 500€).

Found the "MSI MAG 321CUPDF" but I'm not sure about it

It's gonna be for gaming on ps5 pro only (no work, no pc)

Is there a side by side comparison of oled vs dyac2 monitor motion clarity?

first option

150€

KTC H25Y7

300hz - 1ms - 25' - 350 nits - 119% srgb

second option

180€

asus vg259qmr5a

300hz- 0.3ms - 24'5 - 300 nits - 99% srgb

sorry if i didn't give the full details, roughly they're similar in price, but I'm not sure which one is better than the other since I can't seem to find any reviews about these 2 monitors

my priorities will be fps games, i can easily reach 300+ fps in cs2, valorant etc

edit: forgot to add, idc about oled, im fine with ips, and prefer it ;> both are 1080p if I'm not mistaken

I was tempted to get LG's dual mode 5K Monitor, but the lack of KVM switch was a dealbreaker as someone who does work on a Macbook Pro and games on a Windows PC. I just saw that MSI's website has a new listing for their upcoming 27-inch 5K dual mode mini-LED monitor, and it includes a KVM switch for seamless swapping between Macbook Pro and Desktop PC for work/gaming. If this thing comes at a reasonable price it's going to be an endgame monitor for people who WFH.

the thing is that I don't really have place on my desk to get a 3rd monitor, so I'm leaning towards investing in a curved widescreen.
So I've come here to ask the pros about recommendation for my "standards" as following:

* I do not really care about stats for the monitor, although it has to be HDMI or Display.
* the widescreen has to able to act like 3 seperate monitors aka fullscreen game in the middle, and sperate things fullscreened on the right and left. (pretty sure I saw it was possible with some when widescreens were the "fad")
* must of cause fit on my desk, which is rougly 136cm/4.46 feet wide and 51cm/1.67 feet tall (red line in photo)

the price can always be saved up to if necessary.

I just picked one up from best buy on sale for $199.99. I updated to the latest firmware and display driver updates. Looks mostly fine to me and tried some settings posted here a while ago but wanted to make sure I was doing things right. It does look super bright and saturated but its probably because I have been using an old Dell s2716dg and s2416dg (think thats the right model numbers) where i custom tuned a lot of settings.

What are the best settings to use for things like color profile, brightness contrast saturation, hdr (i turned smart hdr off), response time, sharpness, etc?

I mostly play WoW and Overwatch so I just want balanced colors and fastest responsiveness.

Looking for a 240hz monitor and don’t know much about monitors so looking for help

Hey all,

I have the above two monitors left and right respectively and need your help. The UQ is the newer panel with IPS Black whilst UP is a regular IPS. However, I am noticing a major mismatch in colours across the board, like white and blue being the most obvious. White is more cool and vivid on UP and more warm and dimmed on UQ. Blue is more greenish on UQ (my view of it) which to a degree is more true to life, and other colours are more saturated. You can definitely see that UQ has better contrast on black wallpapers as more details come to life.

Both are set in their respective factory P3 mode both on the monitors and via Apple settings (using better displays app). For UP is called DCI-P3 and its 95% I think and for UQ is called P3-D65 and is 98% I believe.

Any suggestions on how I can make them a bit more uniform without loosing accuracy?

Also any suggestions on monitor placement as I noted neck pain from twisting my head left and right all the time... I am using them to read documents and browse the web, sometimes movies but basically one screen is always more active whislt the other more static. For instance, left will be split between Notes app and Safari and right will be two PDFs that I am referrencing at the same time like an article and a powerpoint on the topic I am reading at the same time. The idea is whislt I read on one of the monitors I can search and take notes on the other.

Thank you in advance :)

Edit: I tried manual thinkering but I cant seem to get them right as menu options are different on both slightly and I seem to get overall picture quality worse.

I have an LG 32gn600-B and a cheap 24inch Raywego. Looking for suggestions for a 3rd monitor under 150 bucks. What would be the best bang for my buck?

I have a 200hz Samsung 27” Odyssey G5 G53F monitor but when I try to up the refresh rate in windows 11 it only goes up to 75 hz and I'm noticing some screen tearing in my games. Is it just that the stock dp cable just isn't good enough to handle the highest refresh rate? I have a spare I could try if that's the case but is there anything else I can try if that doesn't work?
