I have an April 2018 build so I'm guessing the OSD bug affects all monitors in production right now. It appears that the monitor has to be on for many hours before the OSD pops up. I WFH and use my monitor for many hours straight during the day so that's probably why I've seen it. I've never...

Another happy LG 32GK850G owner here. Had my monitor for about a week and love it. I came from a Asus PG279Q and have tried MANY different monitors over the last few years, including ultrawide, 4K monitors and high end TV's. Here's my thoughts on pros/cons Pros: - SIZE! 32-Inches is just great...

Reduced Buy it Now price down to $515.

Updated listing with pics of back light bleed.

Relisted and updated link. PG279Q is packed up and ready to ship.

I'm selling my PG279Q. Excellent condition, includes all original parts/packaging. I purchased it at Microcenter on 1/27/2017 so it's still under warranty...

I just pulled the trigger on one of these from Amazon. I'm coming from a PG279Q. I'm tired of the glow with IPS so looking forward to the blacks with this VA panel. I think 1440p at 32-inch is really a good match. How are current owners still liking theirs? Mine arrives on Tuesday. My PG279Q...

I agree with so much. I've tried several of the latest "gaming" monitors on the market in $500 - $1300 range and they are all basically crap for how expensive they are. Just picked up a Sony X800D and pretty happy with it. I think I'm going to stick with it for awhile.

I just picked up the 43X800D a couple days ago and I think I'm going to keep it. 43-inch is the perfect size for me for desktop use. I'm using 100% windows scaling and everything is easy to read. I tried the 49-inch JS8500 last year and it was just too big for me at the 30-inch view distance I'm...

980 Ti SLI. Fact is some games are just impossible to maintain a constant 60 fps with today's GPU's.

So I decided to go the TV route again and picked up an X800D last night. I tried this last year with the Samsung 2015 models but couldn't find any I was happy with and ended up getting the Acer XB321HK. I loved the Acer except for one problem. It suffers from intermittent artifact flickering...

I'm with Panel on this one. I suspect Samsung won't do anything with One Connect. Or maybe they will but I'd be surprised if they did the firmware upgrade to enable 120 Hz, if that's even possible. I'm sure they'd rather have you buy a brand new TV to get 4k@120Hz.

That's a good point and one thing I'm afraid of. We'd be at the mercy of Samsung providing us with a firmware update to enable the 120hz even if we could get an updated One-Connect. Probably won't see that until 2018 at which point our 2016 models won't be getting to many firmware updates...

I think I've settled on giving the KS8000 or 8500 a try. I'm just not sure its worth a $200 premium for the curve. Also concerned about PWM flicker with the Samsung but I'll have to see how it goes.

I'm in the same boat as the OP and considering the 43-inch Sony X800D and Samsung 49-inch KS8000. One thing that is making me lean toward the Samsung is the One Connect Box. Shouldn't we be able to simply upgrade our One Connect boxes once they release one with HDMI 2.1 and then be able to do...
