    Majority of monitors KVM functionality are trash. I think people should keep expectations in check when buying a display designed for media/gaming consumption that happens to have KVM. Sorry if that comes off harsh but I'm just getting tired...

    I'm about ready to give up on the KVM and USB features of this monitor. I tried switching over from my work MacBook Pro to my PC as usual, but this time it wouldn't switch over the USB. The process I use is to unplug the MBP and then wake the PC...

    It's been automatically running every afternoon the first standby after passing 4 hours. The only change I've made was the setting from "Off" to "Standby", and I found a discussion on Reddit where someone was discussing that being the case for...

    I found an interesting side effect after switching the Power Button setting to "Standby". Panel Protect no longer runs automatically upon standby after 4 hours of use. I checked the OSD and it showed 8 hours 25 minutes since the last time it ran...

    It turned out to be a setting on the monitor. By default the Power Button setting is set to "Off". That means that the monitor is completely off including USB when pressing the button, and it also affects how the monitor behaves when in standby...

    The USB disconnecting during standby is an annoyance when connected to my MacBook Pro. Since the keyboard and mouse can't wake it, I have to open the lid, and my USB DAC doesn't reconnect. I have to disconnect the USB-C cable and reconnect it for...

    I think its VRR related. I turned off Adaptive Sync in the monitor while it was happening and it immediately stopped. Do you have GeForce or Radeon graphics? I have a RX 7900 XTX.

    When you have HDR on Windows has a look at the monitor's gamut (which the inf file should tell it accurately) and if an application isn't HDR does mapping. It isn't always as accurate as a monitor's built in mapping so sometimes it is better to...

    I've seen a strange issue where lines start appearing on the screen. It happened last night after waking the screen from standby. The bottom of the screen had a 1 pixel line that went across the entire screen, plus random short lines throughout...

    This has actually been the case for many years now and it's why I've kept HDR enabled 24/7 on all my screens ever since I got my LG CX back in 2020. The only way you run into problems is if the monitor itself is just borked like on certain...

    I have some more observations after using for half a day, and seeing it in the dark. I'm in awe of the picture! I've been using an OLED for TV for 8 years, but having it for my PC is like experiencing it for the first time all over again. I...

    I received the MPG 321URX today, and I absolutely love it! My top concern was that brightness wouldn't be enough for me, but I can't tell any difference from my Dell U3223QE. I've been using the Dell at 75%, which I believed was 300 nits since...

    You are struggling to find any meaningful difference because there is none. The only time QD-OLED has a significant difference in color brightness over WOLED is at 5% APL or lower which is almost useless. In 90% of HDR content you are not...

    So I have had this for over a week and some change and this is the monitor to beat. Amazing colors, vibrant and detailed. No text fringing I can see. 240 Hz. Only issue is VRR flicker on grey backgrounds and loading screens (doesn't happen with...

    HotStock and TrackaLacker are good places for watching stock availability for Best Buy.

    I was able to place an order for a MPG last night from Best Buy. They had stock for 1 minute every 30 minutes for nearly 12 hours. It shows delivery on the 22nd. I'm anxious to have an OLED to evaluate. I don't plan to ever purchase another...

    Even if avoiding outright bloom halos or keeping them to a minimum, the raised dark areas and muted bright areas in mixed contrast objects and at perimeters are always going to be a thing on FALD due to the # of backlights, like a patchwork where...

    Calling the PG32UCDM the "best" is really a stretch here. In terms of raw panel performance (HDR, pixel response) all of the QD-OLEDs are completely identical. You are paying extra for the Asus to get more features that you may or may not ever...

    You change your mind based on the day/night cycle. :sneaky:
