    LG 32GK850G to Acer XB323U GP? Looking for HDR.

    Quick follow up, leaning back towards just keeping the LG for now. In brighter scenes HDR look great but even with local dimming the contrast is a bummer in darker scenes. As well I found myself finding the color saturation too much even after calibration, so I ended up using the sRGB mode more...

    LG 32GK850G to Acer XB323U GP? Looking for HDR.

    Yeah, the Acer can actually hit around 700 nits and has local dimming. I've been using the HDR and it actually looks decent, and is totally worth using. Check this review out: https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/acer-xb323u-gp/ for more tech info.

    LG 32GK850G to Acer XB323U GP? Looking for HDR.

    Yeah the Acer model I am testing is "officially" rated: G-Sync compatible and so far G-Sync has worked 100%. And yes, need 1440 not 4k because I enjoy and want maximum in-game fidelity (highest settings) and fps over 90fps, hopefully more in the 120 and up zone. Right now even with my 3080 card...

    LG 32GK850G to Acer XB323U GP? Looking for HDR.

    Unfortunately no G-sync and 4k. I even have a 3080 card and 1440p gets me max in-game fidelity I want and fps in the 90-110 zone. With 4k I'd be lucky at 60 with max settings. I really wish they'd just make an LG 32GK850G and add HDR 600 to it. Instant buy. I'm still testing the Acer XB323U GP...

    LG 32GK850G to Acer XB323U GP? Looking for HDR.

    I've had a LG 32GK850G for some time and I've really enjoyed it but I am missing HDR support. So, I'm looking for: 1440p 144Hz 32" (31.5") Flat HDR (600) DP 1.4 G-sync compatible VA panel Since that doesn't exist and doesn't look to any time soon which is a bummer, I'd by an HDR version of the...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    Just a quick follow up, I've had the LG 32GK850G for over a month now and I'm super happy with it! :) I mounted it on my desk using the AmazonBasics Premium Single Monitor Stand and it's positioned perfectly for me. I've been nothing but impressed with the image and performance and feeling...

    Acer Predator Z1 Z321QU or LG 32GK850G

    This is an older thread but I did the same back and forth and found the LG to be noticeably superior to the Acer. Much better colors, less motion camera panning blur, way better screen uniformity and at least as good or not better contrast/black levels. So for me the LG was the clear winner, the...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    What camera settings did you use? I think I noticed maybe a tiny bit more BLB in the bottom left corner on my 2nd monitor. The first one had dead pixels right in the middle of the screen so I swapped it out.

    OLED HDMI 2.1 VRR LG 2019 models!!!!

    Yeah my Denon 6400 and 4400 have no issues being the traditional receivers at 4k.

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    Yeah there is always a catch! Well I don't want to be limited to 100hz, so maybe keeping those Gsync monitors is not such a bad idea for now?

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    Thanks for the info, I saw that about Freesync with nvidia on select models. All good, but I think I will be keeping the LG, been messing with it over the weekend and I'm happy with it. :)

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    Thanks for the info, appreciated. Yeah, it's not too bad and I really think most of it is just that at the larger size it is more noticeable now, and it's not that bad. Otherwise playing the game on the new LG is tons of fun. I think this one is my new monitor. I know next year there will be...
