    There’s its OLED variant (FO48U) at 48”…

    FWIW, Gigabyte in their infinite wisdom decided to release two different firmwares (one on 2022/09/07 and one on 2023/02/18) that are both called "F07". The older one of these still has the "VS Mode" picture mode, while the newer one renames it to "Arcade". The newer version also uses different...

    Does the OSD menu work / show?

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    I upgraded (successful on second attempt; had to let Windows execute the installer in "Compatibility Mode", and it took about eight minutes(!)). The only differences I've noticed so far is a new (I think?) FreeSync Premium Pro logo on the monitor's startup screen, and the "FreeSync" option in...

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears 2025

    Hope you still have that rebate card — I was in the same boat (rebate card was issued by WireCard, who are defunct, and activation URL and phone number on the card no longer worked), but in the end I was actually able to activate it after I figured out the name of the successor company (North...

    But I think the most likely explanation is that they're simply using all four high-speed lanes on the USB-C cable for DisplayPort data. (USB2 can be used alongside that because it uses physically separate pins/wires on the connector/cable.)

    (Also potentially leads to weird situations with composite devices where the USB2 side could end up being connected to one machine and the USB3 side to another.)

    Sure, but in that case presumably you wouldn't hook it up to the monitor in the first place? It just seems odd to have some of the pins of the integrated USB-A ports switched, but others not. In general I agree that it's not a huge deal, but a) there are some devices where switched USB3 would be...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Interesting... So it seems that the built-in KVM only actually switches the USB2 signals between the type-B (legacy) and type-C port; the USB3 signals (which are physically separate) appear to always be connected to the type-B port. How bizarre...

    Yeah, I didn't find anything relevant in the manual.

    USB-C can carry both video and data (and power, too), so the port functions as both a DiplayPort input and a USB input (and the built-in KVM actually allows you to map the USB part of it to a different display input, tho arguably that only makes sense if you don't use the video part of the USB-C...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Is anyone able to get a USB3 connection through the USB-C port? I'm using a USB-C cable that's rated for 10Gbps, but somehow both my Mac and my Windows box only seem to see a USB2 connection to the monitor's built-in hub through USB-C (while the USB-B port does connect at USB3 speed). Not a...
