my monitor has these weird black lines is it physical? MSI G274QPX 27" 2560x1440px IPS 240Hz 1 ms [GTG]

recently, i noticed one black line at the bottom of my monitor. then it became two, and now it's a whole army of them. i tried different cables and different GPU ports, but nothing changed they're still there. since i'm not a monitor nerd, i need your help. is this a physical issue with the monitor, or is it a software problem that i don't understand? and how do i fix it if it's an software issue?

please i'm not very knowledgeable about monitors, i don't want to break the rule no.4 but i just don't know if its a physical issue or a software issue

1080p vs1440

Salut a tous, depuis peu je commence a jouer a pas mal de jeux histoire ect où les graphismes primes enormement, et je me demandais si ça pouvait etre une bonne idée de passer a du 1440p ? Je me demande surtout au niveau comparaison est-ce qu’il y a vraiment un choc visuel ou alors c’est mieux mais sans plus ? J’attends vos avis pour m’indiquer si le 2K est si mieux que ça ou non 🙏

New monitor recommendations??

I was wondering if there were any recommendations that were better than the ASUS VG249. For reference, I play simpler games like Roblox, Fortnite, skate., and skate 3. I’m not very educated on monitors but i’m looking for one of similar price, or under 200 and one that is better than the VG249, or atleast won’t fail within 2 years of regular use.

Which of these monitors should i buy, and will my PC run 1440p well?

So i'm selling my Samsung G4 25 inch ips 240hz for 110€ and I'm thinking about buying a 1440p monitor. I have many options that i just cannot decide between. Claude ChatGPT and Gemini are all giving different answers so I really need help from someone who knows about monitors and knows about these models. The monitor stands don't really matter since I have my own mounted stand. I'm also not sure if my PC is going to run games well with 1440p, my specs are listed at the end.

For the used monitors those are not the websites I'm buying them from, they're only for info about the monitors. The websites might be in Finnish but I'm not fully sure and hopefully there's some translate option.

If you own or have owned and have some experience with any of these monitors, please do share your experience and which one you would recommend the most.

Now for my PC specs:
GPU: Asus TUF Gaming RTX3070 8gb
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
RAM: 32Gb ddr4 3200mhz
SSD: 1tb Kingston NV3
I don't think the rest really matter

Need advices to choses between 2 monitors

Hi,

I currently posess a 2014 old monitor that is very bad in comparaison with what is made nowadays, for reference It's stuck at 60 Hz.

So I wanted to change that and I'm still a little hesitant between 2 monitors.

ACER Nitro ED340CURX0 and Gigabyte G34WQC

I checked caracteristics and saw that the Gigabyte is overall better than the Acer, but the Acer is at 220€ thanks to a discount.

Whereas the Gigabyte is at best at 272€ but on Amazon with a tier seller and mostly at 300€ on main sellers.

272€ with a tier seller

300€ on a more trusted source

My budget is max 300€

I'll make a huge jump in term of performance on regardless of the monitor I'll buy. I just wanted to see with, your knowledge about monitor, if the better caracteristics about the Gigabyte one are worth the 80€.

I'd be glad to have feedbacks of people using one of those monitors too :-)

Ty for your attention.

Should I buy a second 32" monitor or a 27" for a dual-monitor setup?

I already own an LG 32SR83U-W (32" 4K) and I'm planning to buy a dual monitor arm.

Initially, I was thinking of getting a 27" QHD monitor and using it in portrait mode next to my 32". However, I realized that if I buy another 32" monitor, I'd have a lot more flexibility with the monitor arm.

For example, I could:

Run 32" + 32" side by side in landscape.

Use one landscape + one portrait.

Stack them vertically if I ever want to.

Rearrange them whenever I feel like it without having mismatched sizes.

I know a 32" monitor in portrait mode is very tall and probably not as ergonomic for daily use, but I like having the option.

My usage is a mix of:

Programming as I do trice WFH

General productivity

Watching movies and YouTube

If you were in my position, would you buy:

Another 32" monitor for maximum flexibility, or
A 27" QHD monitor specifically for portrait use?

I'd love to hear from people who have actually used both setups. Which did you end up preferring, and why?

Pc monitor looking pixelated.

Hey guys, so I have had my pc for around a year now, and I have two monitors on my pc. One monitor is 2560x1440 with 119 hz. My main monitor is a 3840x2160 with 160hz. The weird thing about my main monitor is that it looks very grainy and colors look washed out to the point that my second monitor looks better. One thing I have noticed is that the smaller something is on my main monitor(like when I don't have a video full screened) the better it looks. I have both my windows settings and Nvidia settings matching so I've tried watching videos and have found no answer.

If there are any computer geniuses out there to help I would appreciate it. Bc I got this monitor because my 2560 monitor didn't look good and my new one is worst. I would put a picture of a comparison but for some strange reason the 3840 looks better on camera. But here is a picture of the 3840

JUST A NOTE IN CASE THIS IS THE PROBLEM. I AM ON WINDOWS 10.

Some things I have tried to fix it and it doesn't change

Lowering resolution on both monitors

Just running one monitor

Changing the hz

Updating graphic drivers

Tried using just a pcie cord

Tried just a 4k 120hz hdmi

Tried both together.

I also have hdr disabled bc it turns the screen full on grey

Discoloration on monitor

This is an LG 45GR95QE-B (45"). I bought it around November 2025, and it hasn't given me any major issues.

The only thing I've noticed is that it runs its self-cleaning routine almost every time I turn it off, which I assume is normal. Other than that, it's been working perfectly.
Recently, though, I noticed this weird discoloration along the edge of the screen. Has anyone experienced something similar or know what might be causing it? Is this something I should be concerned about?

Thanks in advance!

4K or OLED monitor?

Hey all, Im in the market for a new monitor. I currently use a 32" MSI Curved monitor, 144hz, 1ms, 1440p. It has been greated and served me well however im looking for an upgrade with all of the 4th of july sales going on. I game on an xbox series x, and I also have a pretty capable pc (6950xt, ryzen 9). I play games like GTA, Valorant, 2k, ect. My budget is the $350 range ( 320-380 is fine). Upon research, I see theres a few 14400 OLED monitors, and also a few 4k LED monitors in said budget. My main question is what route should I go, will I notice a bigger difference going 4k, or getting an OLED at the same resolution. Any comments, recommendations on a specific monitor, or other advice is all greatly appreciated, thanks!

Need a recommendation for gaming monitor under 30

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a monitor under ₹30,000 that I'll be using with both a MacBook Pro M4 and a PS5.

My requirements are:

Budget: ₹30,000 max
120 Hz minimum (144Hz is perfectly fine)
QHD or 4K (not sure which is the better choice)
Good color accuracy for productivity
Sharp text for coding and studying on macOS
Smooth experience with PS5

I'm not a competitive gamer, so I care more about image quality, colors, and overall experience than ultra-low response times.

Some questions:

Is 27" QHD 144Hz a better choice than 27" 4K 60Hz for my use case?
Is HDMI 2.1 worth prioritizing if I mainly play single-player games on PS5?
Which monitor would you personally buy under ₹30k for this setup?

I'd love recommendations from people who actually use a MacBook with an external monitor or have experience with both macOS and PS5.

Thanks in advance!.

UltraGear 32GX850A-B ($752) vs LG UltraGear 32GR93U-B ($570)

Need some advice.

LG UltraGear 32GX850A-B – $752
32”, 4K OLED, 240Hz

LG UltraGear 32GR93U-B – $570
32”, 4K IPS, 144Hz

Price difference: $182.

I’ll be using it for:
PC gaming
PS5 gaming
Movies & lots of YouTube
A bit of video editing
I already have an AW3821DW for office work and anything with lots of static elements.
My main concern is OLED burn-in. I’m also worried that if I get the OLED, my AW3821DW will look bad next to it and be distracting to use.
For only $182 more, which one would you buy and why?

2nd Monitor compatible with an adjustable stand for $300

I bought an LG 27GP850-B and used it beside an Acer 75hz 21-inch...I think (can't remember the exact model) until the Acer died on me. I'm in a position to get another monitor. Would love some recommendations for something compatible with an adjustable stand because my living space is limited. I'll mostly use it for miscellaneous stuff so I don't need anything crazy, it just needs to last long. $300 is the limit since that's how much the LG cost me.

Any help is appreciated
