I’m using a crappy IPS and my PC is patiently waiting to be used to its full potential. Dell, release it PLEASE 🥀

Just scored the new LG 45-inch 5k2k at Best Buy as an open box model for $1,000. I actually bought it in excellent condition, open box, but then when they tried to give me the wrong one and couldn't find the right one, they decided to give me a brand new one right off the shelf, which was super cool

Had dual 4K monitors before so I think this is quite the upgrade and I've actually noticed that it's a little bit cooler in my office now too.

The one thing I'm not super impressed with is that it seems to crush blacks. Anybody have any tricks for getting a little bit more detail in the shadows?

This looks like a really nice pick at $854 for the Samsung G93SC OLED. I'm looking to upgrade from my 1080p 21:9 LG, and since there aren't many options when it comes to high resolution, high refresh rate 32:9 OLED monitors, G93SC seems like the best option for me at this price. Do you think I should go for it?

The immersion is on another level.

I've had it sitting here. And I have combed the manual multiple times and I cannot find mention of it. I also cannot find anything when looking up the barcode so I am at an utter loss as to what this is for

Hi.

I'm getting this really faint flickering recently on G9 Neo.

You can briefly see it in the video I posted. Has anyone had this issue and found a fix?

I've updated G9 recently. I've tried a few things but nothing seems to have worked thus far.

Asus PG34WCDN. Purchased from NewEgg.

So, I initially had an Alienware AW3423DW when it released, but wasn’t “wowed” by it. And back then, the games I played had a lot of issues with 21:9. I finally jumped shipped to my current Alienware AW3225QF 4K monitor, when it launched. I’ve been rocking that sense and have been somewhat happy with it. Although running at 4K gets to be a chore sometimes, even with an RTX 4090 - depending on the game…especially for someone that likes to just max everything out (Ultra or Extreme). But the Gsync on the AW3225QF was getting wonky in certain games. For example, I could not get Black Ops 7 to run “smooth” at all, no matter the setting. The only setting where it ran smooth was with FrameGen enabled.

Anywho, the appeal of Ultrawide started calling to me again, since it’d been a few years and I heard Alienware was releasing a new AW3426DW panel. But given it’s not out for a while here in the U.S., I started researching other monitors - I was kinda feeling a change of brand, anyway.

I was originally gonna go with the MSI MPG 341CQR X36, but what the hell is up with the stock? I’ve had it on order with Amazon for a while and it’s still yet to ship. So, I started looking at the Asus PG34WCDN and was reluctant, given it was so much more expensive here than the MSI variant. But I figured why not, with full bandwidth DP 2.1, I’d be future-proof if I decided to upgrade to a 50 or higher series video card later on. I’m pretty happy with my 4090 right now, tho.

So far, absolutely no regrets. I calibrated it per TFT Centrals “Best Settings” YouTube video (the only thing I skipped was turning Uniform Brightness on), set all my OCC profiles, did the HDR calibration, etc. It’s been perfect. Even Black Ops 7 is smooth as hell now, with FrameGen off! I’ve also noticed way less VRR flicker here, than what I had on my other. The only issue had had was initially, I’d get this weird, random black flicker once in a blue moon on my desktop. But after manually powering off the monitor for a minute or so and back on, it’s not done it any more. Also, I don’t have any of the weird “green tint” issues in HDR that a few have had, which I’ve seen on here. If it matters - my panel was manufactured in April 2026. No firmware updates yet, it seems. I do love the Asus DisplayWidget Center, lol. Just odd it doesn’t show an option to check for a Firmware update. To my understanding, it won’t show unless one is available.

Oh and I’m also loving the extra bit of FPS I’ve gotten from going from 4k 16:9 down to 2k 21:9. I’ll also say that I’ve not noticed any difference in sharpness with the drop, whatsoever.

Just wanted to give my quick experience here with some positive feedback, as this is the first Asus monitor I’ve owned.

I'm happy!

My rig for productivity and gaming! Switched out multi screen setup for a 45" 5k2k GX9 and it works so well with FancyZones
KVM for switching between macbook and my PC, im usually on wireless noise cancelling headphones and the MX Master 3s, but for shooters i switch to IEMs and my GPX

Real glad i got a great deal on all i have here, i must've paid half price for pretty much all of it

Here’s how it’s going :)
