I’m not sure why but my display port on my pc won’t let me change the resolution. It’s a new monitor and changing resolution on it doesn’t work either. Both hdmi and display port are plugged into the gpu. Also the pc is running on Ubuntu
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Never seen this before, started having this problem yesterday. Monitor turns on and displays fine for ~5 seconds before blinking like shown in the video. This is an old monitor and used as the 3rd in my setup. I tried updating my graphics drivers, different HDMI cable, different port on GPU, plug into motherboard, powering off/on the PC, powering off/on the monitor, shutting off and unplugging the power supply everything is plugged into, ctrl+win+shift+b graphics driver reset. Yesterday I swapped the monitor's power cable with a spare one I had laying around and it worked fine for the rest of the day but now it is blinking like this again. Any other ideas on what could be causing this/how to fix? Otherwise I guess its time for a new monitor.
Hey all, first-time poster here looking for some guidance on monitor setups.
I've been running a dual monitor stand from Amazon for a while, but one of the arms has started drooping and I can't get the screens level anymore. Time for an upgrade, but I've got a few questions before I decide:
Would I be better off with two separate single stands instead of one dual mount? Seems like alignment would be easier.
Are gas spring arms actually worth the extra cost? And can they be mounted somewhat discreetly? My desk sits flush against a wall and isn't super deep. And if you were to recommend me brands what would it be? Ergotron? Desky? Herman Miller? Let me know what you guys think of these and what you’re experiences are.
Leaning toward desk-mounted since I want the flexibility. Any recommendations appreciated!
I’m looking to upgrade my monitor primarily for competitive CS2.
My setup:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: RTX 3070
Previous monitor: MSI MAG 255F X24 (sold)
Budget: Around PKR 65,000–70,000 (~$230–250)
Main priority: competitive FPS performance
I’m looking for the best monitor I can get within this budget, more about actual motion clarity, pixel response times, input lag, and overall gaming performance than just the advertised refresh rate or 0.3ms/0.5ms numbers.
What monitor would you recommend for this budget specifically for competitive CS2? I am confused in ViewSonic, ASUS TUF & AOC
Bought a Lenovo R27-QC30 from the lenovo website. New to monitors, are these black levels alright? What else to check or test for? It's a VA panel, so is there anything extra that I should take care of? Thanks...
I have had this AOC monitor for about 4 years now. it started with some coloured lines on the bottom which grew as time went on. Suddenly while playing it fully went and the whole screen is flickering with lines. Is this common with AOC monitors and is the monitor fully finished?
I just bought this monitor from an online store based in Mumbai. When I recieved the monitor today and turned it on, there was a bluish purple mark on the screen.
Can anyone tell me what it could be? I've reported the issue to the store "Nexus Infosys" but they haven't responded yet. Please,if you know anything about this, do comment.
Idk dont know what to say.. i just started my pc and my main monitor was fine i went downstairs for some food and when i came back it just went to this( see foto 2) and i think the lcd crystals leaked?(the dot where i think it lead also turn red for a split of a second ehen turning it on)( see foto 1) i know it probably is way more economical to buy a new monitor but how does this shit happen with msi? I dont have the money atm for a 300 euro monitor....
Ever since yesterday, my monitor hasn’t displayed my Ps5 even though it’ll turn on for a bit. I find it weird that even though my Ps5 works fine my monitor displays it for a few seconds then stops. In the video i’m plugging in the Hdmi and i’ve tried switching it multiple times. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Hi all! I currently have a LG 27GP750-B 27” monitor for gaming. I’m looking to upgrade and not really sure what’s solid out there. Been looking at stuff like the MSI QHD QD 274. Any recommendations? Thanks.
Hello! My monitor was damaged in a recent move, is it possible to repair it? Or if it even makes financial sense. I’ve attached a photo of the damage. The strip of damage got a tad bit bigger on the right side since this photo.
I'm looking to buy a monitor for PC gaming. I'll only use this monitor for gaming (no competitive gaming like fps/shooters).
My big question is: Strictly for gaming, what are the pros and cons of a flat panel vs an ultrawide?
My resolution will be 1440p and the panel size will be 32" to 38", with a display ratio of 21:9 if going for the ultrawide.
I'm open to all advice and personal experiences.
Thanks.
Hello everyone!
My monitor suddenly stopped working today, and I'm trying to figure out if it's completely dead or if there's a fix I haven't tried yet.
The Issue: I played on my PC for about 2 hours today, turned it off, and came back an hour later. The monitor won't turn on at all no display and no power LED indicator light.
Troubleshooting steps I've already tried:
My Questions:
Thanks in advance for the help!
Hi guys, so i have an ASUS 310hz fast ips and im starting doing some esport so i wanna know is it worth to get an Zowie 400hz or an oled. And why, thx so much guys.
I need some help to end my analysis paralysis with getting my first ultrawide monitor. My primary focus will be single-player games. I have a 5080 FE and an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D. Here are 3 monitors that I am considering, in no particular order.
How important would it be to have DisplayPort 2.1 vs DisplayPort 1.4?
This is mainly for my PS5 pro. I have a pc that I will use it on but it is old and I am not using it for large games.
i was playing a game today and i tabbed to ds, after i tabbed back to the game these black lines appeared out of the blue on the bottom part of the monitor is it cooked? like jover, gone? the monitor has 1,5/2 of life and it never had problems not even a jumpscare of a drop nothing. i tried to change cable to hdmi from dp, but nothing
My screen flickering at bottom side at 144hz only but when I switch it to 60hz it stops and i tried reseating and cleaning ram still the issue persists seseat display cable and cleaned it too , this happened few days after the latest gpu driver update, should I get get a clear driver install? DDU? or this is an hardware issue that I have to change display cable or something has anyone experienced anything similar? Help
Hi, I need some advice before I send my monitor to warranty service.
The bottom-right corner of my screen overheated and showed signs of burning. After it cooled down, I noticed what looks like a star-shaped crack spreading from that same area, along with severe display artifacts.
I’m trying to figure out whether the overheating could have caused the LCD panel to crack, rather than the crack being caused by an impact.
The screen was working before this happened, and I noticed the overheating/burning in the same area as the apparent crack.
Could extreme localized heat cause this kind of star-shaped damage to an LCD panel?
I’m asking because if it could have been caused by overheating, I may have a valid warranty claim. I don’t want to make a false claim if this type of crack can only realistically be caused by physical impact.
Photos attached. Thanks!
