    Samsung 31.5" 4K monitor model UD970 support DVI, HDMI 2.0, Display Port

    Yeah, not looking good. People seem really harsh on the AG coating. I was planning to buy two of these, makes me worry a bit. What do people here think of the AG coating? Is it really bad compared to other IPS monitors?

    LG 31MU97

    I'm interested in more comparison of the Samsung UD970 and the LG 31MU97. I'm planning on purchasing two 4K monitors, and am looking at both. I'd love to save $1200 by going with the LG, but I have two concerns. Photos would be fantastic, if possible. Since I'll have two displays, the bezel...

    Is that a 30in with two 24s on the side? Or are those 22s?

    LG L246WP - Backlight Dimming

    Just because having two gives you more screen space. You can have Firefox open while you are using Photoshop on the other. You can watch a video in full screen and still IM with people on the other. Stuff like that; it would be impossible for me to live with only one now. I use it for web...

    LG L246WP - Backlight Dimming

    Interesting. So they would likely just replace it with a crappy, used, LG 246WP? I don't want one with new issues... I want a perfect one with no issues. :rolleyes: Having two screens is completely vital for me. I am sure most other people around here would agree with that. I'm actually sick...

    Hmmm, seems like it'd be useless at this point.

    LG L246WP - Backlight Dimming

    I don't think switching them would really help. That is a neat trick, never knew about the service menu. I checked the menus for both, and the left one (brighter one) has a timer of 5780 hours, while the right (dimmer) one has 5880. So, the right one does have a few hours on the left, but not...

    LG L246WP - Backlight Dimming

    I would say they have both been used the same amount. Although, only one difference comes to mind. The Windows Vista/7 logon screen does not support multiple monitors, and therefore only shows a black screen on the right side. Any chance that having a solid-black screen displayed for extended...

    LG L246WP - Backlight Dimming

    That really sucks. I can see them being kind enough to replace both, but I bet it will be one of their new ugly TN paneled things. Why have monitors gotten worse over the years? :o

    LG L246WP - Backlight Dimming

    Hey guys, I've currently got a setup with two 24 inch LG L246WP monitors. They were bought (November 2007) and manufactured (April 2007) at the same time. They have been great, although over the past year or so I have noticed a gradually increasing issue with one of them. As you can...

    Wow, that is neat. What do you use to light up the wall behind? Some sort of awesome LED thing from iKEA I would imagine?

    Dou you prefer tool-less cases?

    While toolless is a really nice little feature, it is very short lived. Unless you swap components a lot, it really would not be much a time-saver. It is more susceptible to breaking and is often no more "simple" than just doing a screw or two. I would not base my case-buying decision on it...

    LG L246W

    I had the opposite experience. Replaced the cable and it does the exact same thing. :(

    LG L246W

    i actually just bought a $2 cable from amazon. Same DVI to HDMI. We will see if that fixes the issue. That is interesting. I have put up with that issue forever... and I have noticed it is only the one monitor. I figured it was the video card. If this cables fixes it, I will cry a bit. :p
