Looking at picking up a dirt cheap budget 1080p gaming monitor as a display for a second setup, and I’ve found 2 from Acer that are well reviewed with these specs respectively. Which one would provide a better experience for games with fast motion?

That really does sound impressive. I was looking at the rtings page and I noticed that they only have < 20 Hz listed as the VRR minimum. I was wondering if either you or Vega had tested this and could tell me what the actual minimum is. 20 sounds great, but I want something as low as reasonably...

Last year, I enjoyed getting to try the Odyssey Neo G8, and although I really ended up disliking the curve and the thick AR coating on that thing, it was still fun to get to try it out. I was hoping that this year I could have a similar summer experience trying out this Neo G9, but for whatever...

So, I've definitely got to say that you calling it your favorite monitor is high praise indeed. I'm a little skeptical about the fact that it's a random brand, and about it being semi-gloss instead of full glossy. I'm curious, how much matte-er (is that a word) is it than a like a C2 or...

The only option I see in this regard is the Dough Spectrum, but that's the same company that used to be EVE and they've got a horrible reputation. I'd be glad with literally any other option.

I’ve wasted too much time hoping Apple will improve anything about anything related to displays.

You mean their terrible antireflective coating?

Big "LOL" if true. Not touching that monstrosity again.

Now we’re talking! Is there a 27” version of the same thing? 32” is personally just a tad big for me.

Does such a monitor exist outside the Eve/Dough Spectrum? I'm sure I don't need to go over the company's poor history, especially when it comes to issuing timely refunds. I'd prefer some other option for the same sort of feature set if possible, but I doubt anything thats qualifies exists...

No, of course not. We should all use 1440p for another 20 years and then discover the wisdom of going down to 1080p to get 50000Hz in the esports title of the time.

So, I'm feeling a little dumb right now. See, I spent quite a bit of time wrapping this thing up today, and it's only now that I'm watching Linus' Shortcircuit video above that I'm realizing I never tried changing the miniLED settings from "Auto" to always on. I don't know why I didn't think of...

Both. They're both impressively bad. Must be that crispy AR coating in action. I'm surprised multople people want to swap out their OLEDs for one, considering how fantastic those look in SDR.

I couldn't help getting one in to try out, seeing the mixed reception everyone else has been giving it here. Honestly, I'm really impressed with the HDR on this thing; it looks really good. I'm not so impressed with the SDR on it… which is the bulk of the content I'm looking at on my screen. It...

Best Buy doesn’t even have the Neo G7 listed yet and they’re still showing the G8 as pre-order.

This actually looks pretty nice. I was recently thinking of picking up an old x27 since all the current 4K 120 Hz+ offerings are either too bad (no FALD) or too expensive (miniLED for $3K+). The Neo G8/G7 were the exception, until I saw that their curve’s the wonkiest looking thing I’ve seen in...

I ordered from Amazon. It'll be fine. Not worth my time, honestly.

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna refuse delivery when it arrives later today. This thing's too wonky to take seriously. Better luck next CES, I guess.

Wh… what is that thing? It looks like someone welded two monitors together then bent the middle. Really, I spent 5 months waiting for THAT?! BRUH

As far as I know, only iMacs and Apple’s Pro Display XDR and Studio Display have glass layers in front of their screens. However, if you’re okay with glossy instead of glass, the 4K 144 Hz Eve Spectrum offers that. Unfortunately, it’s only 28” and isn’t miniLED. I don’t understand how anyone...

The people saying this is “for Mac” are ignoring the bad text rendering on macOS for anything not running at 200% scaling. Clear text’s important on a productivity display, isn’t it? If you chop off the sides to think of this monitor in terms of 16:9 resolutions/pixel density, it’s a 32” (really...

Inb4 it shows up tomorrow out of the aether…

That’s awesome for those of you who managed to nab the Samsung deal. For those of us who never ordered from them and might order now, well we still pay $1450 for it.

Thanks for letting me know; I was about to cancel my order and re-order for an earlier date. Bullet dodged.

Weird. Earlier today it was June 24, and even now it's June 28. But my order from like a week and a half ago still estimates June 30. Did I accidentally pick slow/delayed shipping when I ordered or something?

So, garbago then?

miniLED/OLED with a matte panel, huh? DoA.

I'd appreciate if someone could test it out too. I just want to know if it's glossy or not. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get used to even semi-gloss.

It's mostly 120Hz, I think, which really is wonderful once you see it.

So, garbago huh? Bummer.

What's better: G-Sync module at 144 or no module at 240?

Does anyone know whether this will be glossy or matte? And any estimates for when it'll be coming out?

Sure, but 55 inches? Wouldn't a 38" ultrawide be more appropriate for a desk?

Wait, how can a 240Hz 4K miniLED monitor be less expensive than a 144Hz 4K miniLED monitor? Can someone explain, please??

That… almost exactly what I want. The only difference is that I'd want it smaller (24" to 32") instead of larger! :p A 32" at 5K would be awesome for me, too! It's just that that seems like too big of an ask to me since everyone but Apple seems to have given up on 5K. That's why I was looking...

Last time, TV's started adopting 16:9 en masse, right? Well, TV's aren't adopting 21:9 the same way… or at all. Although I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't love to see some.

It's because I use 2x integer scaling instead of running at the native resolution of the display. It makes things a nice and sharp at a big enough size. I use virtual desktops pretty extensively which makes me actually prefer a smaller screen; that way, I can see whatever I'm doing right in...

Fair enough. For video content (games included), I can't argue. But for text, I really need a pixel density most people would consider way too high. I don't know why.

This is a beautiful monitor, but 4K isn't enough at 32 inches for me if I use the monitor for anything other than gaming. I think this would've been better for more people at 27" instead. Personally, I'd want 4K 120Hz+ at 24", but they won't give it to me. :cry:
