I was more interested in the characteristics of the new Fast HVA panel tech TCL is using in the displays, as the 34" and 27" are both advertised with the same HDR 1600 specs. If anything, the 27" should have even better local dimming with the same amount of dimming zones and a smaller display...

So even though TCL support says their new 27" and 34" panels don't exist, users on Reddit are starting to post their reviews of their units and they sound very positive! A good thread here. In summary - excellent brightness, fantastic colors, local dimming that works great. A good thread here...

Despite TCL escalated support department confirming what I was told on the phone, reaffirming that the product pages for the new 27" and 34" are in error and that the company has no plans to enter the PC peripheral market, the product manuals for the two monitors have been posted online. After...

And that $1999 5080 will still have 16GB of memory. Just watch. lol

Thanks for the link SoCali! That is concerning, especially as all the TV tested had their panel saving features enabled. I guess time will tell if the 3rd gen QD-OLED show any improvement in longevity.

Is anyone using these OLED's for productivity work? I know in the Reddit forums so many people say they are for gaming only, and to stay away as if you do any sort of work with static UI elements you will get burn in, but checking the accounts of the users saying this it appears that almost none...

I'm not sure what the heck is going on with the TCL monitor, but two customer service reps have now told me they that the webpages for the new HVA monitors are in error and they have no plans of releasing any PC peripherals. I've even sent emails to their main support asking for clarification...

I like how active the MSI reps are on Reddit! Always a good sign.

This one sounds promising too. The Hisense 27G7K-PRO. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Hisense-27G7K-PRO-4K-160-Hz-gaming-monitor-debuts-with-1-152-dimming-zones.828730.0.html

Nope. Even TCL seems to have no idea when it is going to be released in North America. Apparently French retailers have the 34" display listed for sale for 1100 Euros.

Another review of the Chinese branded Thunderbird 雷鸟U8 using the same panel. Their conclusion? The best 4k monitor currently on market. I'm relieved to see that the HVA panel seems to have addressed the smearing typically associated with VA panels. Excited about this one, I just wish there was...

I tried installing the Epic Store version I owned as well, and it has the same issues. Strangely, if you run the game in DX11, the artifacts show as white boxes. Same thing, runs fine with MSAA or DLSS off, but glitches with these features enabled. As everything else seems to be running great...

As mentioned in my OP, it is the GamePass version.

I I just read through the Steam forums, and it seams that others are having visual glitches with MSAA or DLSS enabled when running DX12. The Gamepass option doesn't give an option which render to use, but maybe it defaults to DX12? Anyways, I'm not going to worry too much as it seems like...

Corsair cable worked like a charm and everything seems to be working great. Just need to print off a support brace for the card as the included one was too tall for my chasis.
