Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
@kasakka That looks... pretty horrible. I guess I either need to wait a year or setting for going back to duel-screen set up (instead of one large 43" 4k display).
Be warned that it's unconfirmed if the XG43UQ is an RGB monitor. It's current model XG43Q is not RGB with people reporting that text is blurry on the screen.
Changing the cleartype aliasing to grayscale mode can help with text on a BGR. I find the grayscale setting is overall better than the "BGR aliasing". However afaik, you can only set this mode in the registry or using a tool (like the one I linked to in the last page).

How is the clarity of desktop text at native resolution? Can you change the cleartype aliasing to grayscale for testing to see if it helps with clarity- can you use this tool https://github.com/bp2008/BetterClearTypeTuner
AHhhh I just found out my 48" Sony XBR 850b is actually a BGR (and NOT rgb as I had thought)... which I had no idea for years. No wonder I thought the text was a little blurry. After some tuning today, I found that Grayscale Cleartype is much more legible than either rgb or bgr aliasing. I used...
Thanks for info! For my 49" Sony x850b:
1. sitting about 3.5ft from it
2. no idea on coating
3. cleartype settings all tuned. It's not bad, but my eyes do tire of looking at the text more for long periods.
4. It does have sharpness in OSD and it's turned up.
5. yep, all tuned
6. indeed using...
Currently I use a 48" 4k screen at 100% scaling and sometimes I still find fonts not as sharp as I'd like, even though the screen is RGB (Sony XBR 850b). I'm really concerned about getting this BGR monitor if there's any issue with reading text at 4k/100% scale for 8+ hours a day. If this one...
Ah, thanks. Doing some digging, it seems only the Turing (nvidia 2080) cards support DSC, while the Pascel cards (1080) can be patched* to use DisplayPort 1.4 but without DSC (or at least no DSC 1.2).

Currently, only AMD supports DSC which is a shame. DSC is also not a silver bullet as it does do a form of chroma compression to a certain extent (so there is some loss of detail). So if I'm using nvidia, what's the max I can drive XG43UQ without DSC? Maybe 4k at 8bit?
What does this mean exactly? Does it mean that duel displayport inputs is required for full features (4k 4:4:4 10bit), but VRR will not work when both inputs are used? Is this true for both the Asus and Acer displays?
