Just got a MacBook Pro 14” and I’m looking to set up a proper desk setup at home for coding assignments and some trading. Found this Cevaton portable monitor on Amazon —14” FHD 1080p 60hz for 133$ (or 15.6” for 187$).
Also want to make sure it won’t mess with my MacBook’s hinges—this one’s got its own kickstand so that’s sorted.
Any recommendations?
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!
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this monitor up on FB marketplace for $500. I messaged the seller within 10 minutes of it being listed, and after a few hours of keeping my cool (lmao yeah right), he messaged me. There were other offers in the mix, but since I was the first to message him about it, he ultimately offered me the sale.
I’ve been hoping for a new game or something miraculous to pull me back into PC gaming, and this monitor has done just that. Now I am on the hunt for an adequate adapter to allow me to maximize the beauty that this 2070SB has to offer! If anyone out there would be willing to part with one of the following, please let me know: Sunix DPU3000, Icy Box IB-SPL1031, and DeLock 87685
Bonjour, je recherche un moniteur portable pour mes saisons d'hiver et d'été. Je recherche un moniteur portable de bonne qualité d'image, surtout pour les films et séries, et un peu pour la PS5. J'ai vu les marques Arzopa et Uperfect, mais je ne sais pas vers quelle marque me tourner. Je le brancherai sur secteur et j'utiliserai mon Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra avec. Chez Uperfect il ya a des modèles plus grands, j'ai vu. La taille minimum que je recherche est de 16 pouces, jusqu'à 24 pouces. Merci de vaut retour et modèle que vous me proposez
Hi everyone I’m new to the gaming monitor community. I know this question is probably asked a lot in this sub reddit but I was hoping some of you could help me. I currently game on an LG C5 OLED TV and I want to switch over to a gaming monitor I mostly use consoles but I’m looking to get a PC in the future. I want a monitor that won’t break the bank but also is capable enough for my consoles. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hey all, as above, I have ended up in a position where some of the stuff I do for work and some of the stuff I do for fun (namely D&D) require a lot of screen real estate. I have 2 monitors and have both my work and personal hooked up to one through an HDMI switch (simple). The other monitor has a single DisplayPort input which I use with a USB-C to DisplayPort cable but I am getting fed up of having to move this between my work setup and play setup. Is there a handy doo-dad that will act like the HDMI switch but with USB-C (DP-Alt) input and DisplayPort output (or just a USB-C female port) as everything I'm finding is a KVM (way more than I need) or has a USB-C male output built in.
Hello!
Costco is currently having a major summer/back-to-school sale on monitors. As such, I’ve been considering upgrading my home office setup from my job-provided monitor to something better. The caveat is that I want my monitor to be able to do a few things:
I plan on using an HDMI switcher to switch between the devices as needed.
As far as the gaming laptop is concerned, I don’t play FPS or PVP games, so I don’t need the highest refresh. I mostly play steam games like E33, Hades, Sea of Stars, Witcher. I also play Genshin Impact and HSR.
And then my console games are similar: I’m mostly an Action / Turn Based JRPG player (FF7R, Age of Elliot, Pokémon, and similar).
Given what I want to do, is there one monitor in the Costco sale that would perform overall better than the others? Images attached are of the monitors I think fit the bill best, but not sure where to go from this list.
Also, I understand a better, higher end monitor from a PC store like Microcenter will always be more recommended. I’m just trying to be budget conscious right now.
Thank you in advance!
I've been putting this off for a while but finally getting around to sorting out my setup. I have a 27 inch monitor on the stock stand and it eats up so much desk space. Neck strain is also getting rough during long work hours.
My desk is around an inch thick and I've got maybe 1.5 inches of clearance from the edge before hitting the metal brace underneath. Monitor is vesa 100mm mountable so that part I'm good on. Budget can stretch to $80 if the quality is there.
Are North Bayou or Desky monitor arms any good? And what about VIVO arms? Are they any good too? Let me know what your go to picks are, what your experiences have been, and what brands to avoid. Thank you!
I’m running a 3060ti and a ryzen 5 3600.
I play competitive games in competitive setttings to boost out a lot of fps. And I see in games like apex I can have more but my current monitors refresh rate is capped at 165. I play on 1080p as I don’t know how well my computer can run 1440p. Would like to hear good competitive monitor recommendations and if I should buy a 1440 p monitor and just run it at 1080p. Don’t want a crazy expensive monitor but my range can go up to about $200-$250.
Monitörüm bozuldu şimdi ise yenisi için maks 5000tl bütçem var. Laptop kullaniyorum ancak çift monitör gerçekten hayat kurtaran bişey. Monitörü genellikle rekabetçi oyunlardan çok hikayeli oyunlar, film izlemek ve de seneye yks senem olacağı için çoğunlukla ders çalışmak için kullanıcam bunlara göre bi öneride bulunursanız sevinirim şu anlık görseldeki monitörü almayı planlıyorum.
I have an rtx 5080 and ryzen 7 7800x3d so my pc will easily handle both resolutions, rn i have a 4K IPS monitor and im considering buying a 1440p oled cause the 4k oleds have prices out of this earth.
Looking for a monitor that’s a good all-rounder. I play a lot of competitive FPS titles so I want a fast, responsive panel, but I also watch a lot of movies/shows so I’d like colours to be at least average-good, not just a washed out competitive focused panel.
Budget: Looking for best value, not locked into a hard number (although I think OLEDS are out of the budget)
Size/res: 25-27”, 1440p ideally 170HZ+
Usage: Competitive FPS mainly, plus a fair bit of movie/show watching
Region: Australia. so please suggest stuff that’s actually available/priced reasonably here, not just US Amazon links
Currently using: Alienware AW2521HF

Currently I ve got a G27FC-A from Gigabyte and the ghosting is killing me, so I am looking for an upgrade
I need help deciding between the TCL 25G64, a 1080p IPS Panel with mini led backlight and 300hz (240hz with 10bit colors) and any other normal ips panel that’s 1440p and 180hz+ at around the same price range of 170euro.(attached a picture of an AOC monitor in that price range.
I mainly play games like rust, cs, valorant, league of legends, so my top priority is to just get rid of the ghosting that’s been haunting me on my current monitor and have good response times.
My pc specs are a 5800x3d and a 6700xt OC edition, I understand that if I get a 1440p monitor, I may not be able to run the new titles at a smooth frame rate with high graphics, but I dont really play any new games anyways.
The one thing stopping me from getting the TCL so far is the distracting “halos” that might appear around white things in fast paced games with the low number of dimming zones and the actual panel response times that I found tested on a youtube video.
Hello guy!
I recently got an ASUS TUF Gaming Series 5 - VG259QMRL5A for better motion clarity after AOC 25G3ZM. I use ELMB on calrity lvl2 (OC OFF). I tried a lot of settings and even in windows, after a research a couldnt find any fix. Any idea?
hey guys! i saw these on display at best buy and i liked these four options, it will be for a gift and im not too sure which of the 4 would be the best option relating to best gaming quality? your thoughts are needed and appreciated, thank you!
UPDATE: ALIENWARE WAS PURCHASED !! thank you for the help :)
Ive tried every setting imagineable on pc and monitor. I don’t know why its like that. The line goes exactly in the middle and ive tried all hdmi cables i have. Turned hdr off/on. Turned g syn off/on. I am out of ideas now.
Hi All,
I bought an Acer Monitor: Acer Nitro XV272U X1 27 Inch WQHD (2560×1440) IPS Gaming Monitor.
It has screen bleeding, is this normal or should I be worried and ask for a refund. (Attached multiple images with different backgrounds and both pitch black room and with normal room light at 80% brightness)
If I’m going for refund what alternatives I should check in this price range or little higher.
