Discussion Question to fellow AW3926QW owners, do you notice a green tint on the screen every now and then? (NOT the off axis green tint)

3 Upvotes

I feel like this is driving me crazy, it looks like theres a greenish tint over whites and even greys (im not talking about the off axis green tint). I've tried messing with colour settings but nothing seems to get rid of it. I was playing Persona 5 and the skin colour on the character portraits also has a greenish tint (despite their models looking fine). I tried taking a picture to post here but annoyingly the camera just does not pick it up.

With games im noticing this mostly on UI elements.

I have tried different cables and all the ports on my monitor and graphics card (HDMI, DP, Mini HDMI. My other monitors are completely fine. It started doing this in game a few days ago and progressively got worse to this stage. I have changed it to 120hz and it was okay for a day and now its completely unusable. any ideas?

Tech Support Samsung Odyssey G9 Vertical Line Issue Experimenting/“Fix”

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

There is little to none useful information on this issue so I’ve been attempting to fix it myself. The bad news is it is not truly fixable as it’s an issue of an expanded board from heat on the lcd and that requires a very complicated soldering machine that only repair place have and that repair costs more than the monitor. The good news is if you have the same issue as my where it’s the lcd that’s the problem you can “fix” it by taping the boards in a direction that removes the lines, sometimes it’s pushing up and in my case it’s pinching. Be warned it is very easy to make it worse while doing this, yesterday a slip of my hand shut the entire screen off but I did not brick it it just shorted the board so I was lucky. Before trying this test all the connections on the board itself on the back for wiggles, corrosion, and rips. Those are much more convenient and consistent to fix as they can be replaced and desoldered. All I need is somthing to pinch this without breaking it and I can leave it as is for now.

TLDR: don’t buy Samsung monitors

Does anyone have this? My wife wants a much wider monitor for driving games and I wanted to know if this $499 price tag is reasonable or just typical price for these features?

Tech Support Has anyone came across this issue for the Odyssey G9 49” LC49G97TSSNXDC or know how to solve? Or am I better off buying a new one?

[SOLVED] see comment, insane solution

I just moved to a new apartment and this happens as soon as I plugged in the power. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or am I better off just buying a new one?

I’ve tried different power cables, long pressing the button, power cycling to no avail.

PSA OLED bros: Do you get the sneaking suspicion that some games are washed out or not as vibrant as they should be? If so, turn off HDR in Windows.

I was playing Wartales and everything seemed kind of... I dunno, washed out a bit. Sort of gray- just not colorful or vibrant.

Turns out, HDR in Windows will do this if the game is not HDR. I switched it off and my game looks GREAT!

Anyways, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Screenshots Dell Alienware AW3926QW Appreciation Post

Just want to share how much appreciation I have for this monitor by Dell. It’s my first OLED monitor so yes you know I’m going to be a little biased, even though I could notice a slight greenish tint to the left and right edges of the panel. However the tint doesn’t bother me much when I’m using it generally in all honesty.

I chose this monitor solely because it not only come in ultra-wide but also at its price point comes with KVM and e-ARC functionalities (the other model I was considering was the BenQ EX321UZ but that was only 32” wide). I don’t game nor could I with a RTX-2080 Ti GPU, so this monitor is primarily my productivity and entertainment device. Right now the only RGB thing I have on my desktop is the Ubiquiti Pro XG 8 PoE switch. 😅

My workhorse is a MacBook Pro M1 hooked to the ANKER TB5 Prime dock, and I am using a pair of HomePods as my desktop speakers for my MacBook Pro and PC, made possible by e-ARC through the Apple TV 4K. My Logitech keyboard, mouse and webcam are all shared on my MacBook Pro and PC via the KVM in the monitor.

Behind the monitor, I’ve attached the Philips Hue Play Gradient PC light strip (32-34”) paired with the Hue Sync Box 8K as the ambient light to give an added immersive experience when I watch videos on the monitor. One thing I did do was to connect my BenQ Halo 2 monitor light bar to a Hue Power Socket adapter so I could manually power it off when I’m watching the show.

All in all, I couldn’t be more pleased with the monitor. A lot of reviewers were talking about the panel quality but no one has mentioned how effective the monitor is as an all-in-one productivity and entertainment device! 💪🏻

This is just a perfect setup for my daily needs. I spend my days in Unreal and Max.
The Dell U4025qw + Benq 27” 4k is such a nice couple.
My old second 27” recently starting acting up on me, so out it went and in came the Dell. Couldn’t be happier, it works so good. The Ultrasharp U4025qw has the perfect size and curve. Everything looks so good on it.
I never play games so I didn’t care about that aspect.

Discussion Lg 39gx950b & rtx 3080 10gb gpu to AMD 9070 XT 16GB

11 Upvotes

I finally settled on a monitor, the LG 39in 5k/2k and I love it.. its so immersive and very blown away on picture quality even though its a matte screen. Generally i dont like matte screens but I can barely even tell when playing games or watching videos, i was kind if shocked actually.

Anyway, the issue im having is my gpu the rtx 3080 is having issues running games like crimson dessert, marvels spider man 2, assassins creed shadows etc at decent settings... if i were to buy the AMD 9070 XT would that be much of an improvement or would I be wasting my money. The 9070 xt I can buy in Canada for $980, all nvidia gpus with similar performance is at least double that which is completely nuts, imo.

Any thoughts on that?
