I still have it sitting here because it's a hassle to get it to the corner, and I have to spend an extra $45 to dump it. I'm tempted to crack it open and replace the main circuit board (I've seen it for $50 on ebay) but I honestly don't think it's worth the effort. The LG C3 is so far away a...

I haven’t used it much but I’ve done what I could to mitiagate the burn in and dimming. As an every day display and a light gaming monitor it should do me fine, and I have the Geeksquad coverage if/when it does burn in. I have more of an issue with Gigabyte’s warranty coverage- they know full...

Mine is going in the trash. It no longer turns without going to a black screen. Unfortunately it will cost me over $100 to ship back (even with the discounted shippers like pirate ship) and then if I get it back and still have problems I have to pay to ship both ways. I just purchased a 42 C3...

First thing I tried. Believe me I tried everything- it's stuck in sleep mode with nothing plugged in at all.

Well, a lot of people are experiencing it- if you google "FV43U stuck in sleep" you'll find a lot of posts. I suspect that's why they extended the warranty from 1 to 3yrs. It could be just specific batches of the monitor has this problems. I'll send it back once- it will cost me approx $80 even...

It appears the FV43U has a serious design flaw. I am not the only one dealing with the exact same problem right now- the monitor gets stuck in sleep mode (even with the latest F07 firmware), and you have to turn on/off, unplug a million times to get the picture back. I don't want to pay to ship...

Nah. I just spoke to Gigabyte tech support. It’s completely dead now and out of warranty. Not worth shipping back (even if I could). I paid $600 for it not much more than. a year ago. Edit- spoke to Gigabyte Customer Support- they extended the warranty on this model to 3yrs so it’s still...

Yes, was happening with no other display connected. No devices worked with it at all over any inputs. The only way to get a picture is by connecting a second device to my pc and changing the refresh rate. Otherwise nothing else works. Now I just get a black screen on boot and hopefully turning...

Well, it died completely this morning. No inputs at all are working, can’t even get a menu in the screen, it just sort of blanks out and comes back. I tried the DisplayPort with both onboard gpu and 7900xtx, nothing. I tried USB C from my motherboard (has TB4 graphics out). Nothing. Tried...

I haven't tried HDMI- I'd rather just turn on and off the monitor. I think I'm going to be replacing it sooner rather than later. Maybe within a year or so- just waiting for the newer OLEDs.

Yes, everything wiped and updated. Still doesn't work quite right.

Well, this monitor just does not play nice with my 7900xtx at all- it's not like it was great with my 2080ti but this is just ridiculous. Every time I start my PC I have to turn off and on the monitor in windows hoping it will get a picture. As for sleep mode, forget it. I'm lucky to ever get...

If I do some music production I won’t need much more than 64GB-128GB anyways- part of the reason I wanted it was because of the onboard 10G NIC and TB4 ports.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I ended up selling the board and buying a used Asus ProArt X670E-CREATOR WIFI off Amazon Warehouse for $350. I know buying a used board (particularly an expensive one like this) is a crapshoot but it's fine. Have to say this is the nicest (and most...

Well, I live in the US- It's selling for $200 new on Amazon- but of course you get the 7yr warranty with that (at this rate I highly doubt EVGA will be around even in 2yrs). I can put it on ebay I guess- Shipping will probably cost at least $25, then I will have to take money off for the...

My old (8yrs) EVGA 1300 G2 Gold was making all sorts of strange noises in my new 7900x/7900xtx build so I purchased a Vetroo 1000 because it got good reviews on Blurbusters and was only $110. Seems more than adequate but I think there is a tiny bit of coil whine (can’t hear it over the 7900xtx...

I had a GTX 295 for a while. It was an odd card. I remember it being super-powerful at the time but as with any dual-gpu card it tended to be glitchy- but when it worked, it was amazing.

I guess I’ll put it on eBay before the value goes down too much. I think I waited too long already.

It's locked out on the HDR1000 setting which does all the automatic adjustments with Windows. Ideally that would be the way to handle it. If I set it to HDR Game mode I can turn off dimming which solves most of my issues- which I did. It's just more difficult to find the right setting. BTW-...

I'm am talking mostly about Freesync flicker in combination with HDR which (particularly on AMD cards) causes this strange dimming effect where the whole screen would get lighter and darker. That first article I linked to at Displayninja explains it much better than I could. Unfortunately on...

I think Windows Game HDR is implemented in Hogwarts because if you use the Calibration Tool on the Microsoft Store to calibrate your screen first it appears the settings filter over. It still looks washed out tho.

I https://www.displayninja.com/how-to-change-freesync-range-using-cru/ I wasn't using CRU correctly to adjust my Freesync range- I followed this guide to lower my range to 42 and the constant dimming pretty much stopped in Hogwarts. Now I have to figure out how to adjust HDR properly so it...

I’m on the latest firmware. I tried CRU to tweak a little but unfortunately the Freesync range of this display is so narrow that if I adjust it the screen will periodically “blank” out completely. I guess I’ll be upgrading my display a lot sooner than I thought. I’ll just have to make sure any...

I just started playing Hogwarts, and it's really the first game I've sat down and played on my newish 7900xtx. First thing I noticed was that there was some kind of HDR dimming issue, where the whole screen would continuously get brighter/darker/brighter/darker. I've found a few reddit posts...

Don’t make me put this on eBay.

All these mods and the game hasn’t even been officially released yet. Glad I’m holding off for a while. By the time I finish Hogwarts there should be a ton of mods for it. Since it’s a single player game it’s not like I’ll be missing anything.

I don’t think enough people are aware of this forum.

I thought most of Hardforum was above the console wars/pc master race nonsense? I guess I was wrong. Who cares how you play, just that you do.

Stop. A lot of us like to play while sitting on the couch. A controller is the easiest way to do this.

Picked it up on sale at Greenmangaming for $35. Any recommendations for mods to use for a first play through?

That guy never sleeps.

I think I'll wait it out a bit and pick up Hogwarts for $35 at Greenmangaming.

I don't want to live in the country you do where 11yr olds vote.

Seems legit. I'm more interested in seeing how XeSS looks/performs on AMD boards.

So this is a lot like Outer Worlds? They never said it was going to be a space-sim.

Again, HDR10 is what we are talking about- and now Win11 has an auto-HDR feature which should make it even easier to implement. As I said before- Ubisoft has been doing it right since 2017. HDR10 can be implemented properly on PCs if the devs just put a little effort into it. That's fine if...

We are talking about HDR10. That's it. That's the standard- any tv that supports 10+/DV/HLG supports HDR10 so that's where we start- particularly for PC gaming. The only two PC games I know of that support DV are Mass Effect Andromeda and Battlefield 1. There are no DV enabled monitors, just TVs.

If you're speaking about gaming that's because you haven't seen it implemented properly. If you're talking about TV/Theatrical content, well, I don't know what to say. Proper HDR can make a bigger difference than resolution.

Say what you will about Ubisoft, but their HDR implementation has been stellar since Assassin's Creed Origins back in 2017. So anyone can get it right if they put some effort into it- and clearly Bethesda did not- they didn't even place priority in getting SDR looking good.
