    LG LED 34 Inch Monitor - LG-34UM68 or 34UC79G or something else?

    Now there is even a more "commercial" alternative like the Asus MX34VQ, same panel as the MicroBoard.

    BenQ SW320 - 32" Adobe RGB, DP 1.4

    Yeah, I agree, considering the specs, the price doesn't seem too high to me too. The upcoming Asus 32" HDR model will be similarly priced, even a tad more. For me 32" with 4K it's a bit on the small side, especially considering how bad Photoshop scales..

    LG LED 34 Inch Monitor - LG-34UM68 or 34UC79G or something else?

    How bright have you set it? Looks like a problem of excessive brightness to me. If you are looking at it mostly in a moderately lit environment, I'd advice not to go above 110 nits with brightness settings. A simple calibration tool like ColorMunki Display helps a lot finding the sweet spot...

    AOC C4008VU8 - 40" Curved 4K - Flicker Free

    The curve seems not different to me, you can easily tell from the pictures that it is hardly curved like the Philips, i.e. 3000R. I do not know why they are reporting 1800R in the specs, I have the Philips and it totally looks the same to me, even the inputs are in the same position, so I...

    LG LED 34 Inch Monitor - LG-34UM68 or 34UC79G or something else?

    Take a look even at the just released Asus MX34VQ, it is a bit more costly than the LG34UC88 but it has 100Hz (and a VA panel instead of IPS, but this is a subjective preference)

    AOC C4008VU8 - 40" Curved 4K - Flicker Free

    Read my small review on the official thread and, better, watch the PC Monitor review: it's not a matter of being only 60Hz, unfortunately the Philips (and so the AOC I imagine, as the panel is most likely the same) has serious issues in terms of ghosting and traililng as the panel is too slow to...

    AOC C4008VU8 - 40" Curved 4K - Flicker Free

    Right, and curvature is 3000R, not 1800R, it's very slight. As said, it's quite good for image editing and general purposes, not so good for gaming.

    Philips BDM4037UW - 40" Flicker-Free, Curved 4k

    As soon as I manage to set up my camera properly will do. Even if it's quite noticeable on a total black screen, since I got zero dead pixels and a quite uniform panel, I decided to live with it and not returning the display at the end, but I can understand that other people could be more...

    Philips BDM4037UW - 40" Flicker-Free, Curved 4k

    Guess won't interest many in this forum, but here is my user report after three days of utilisation: - Size: of course this thing is quite massive, especially coming from a 20", but the slight curve helps in not being too overwhelmed. Probably the provided stand is a tad too high and the...

    Acer ET430K 43" 4K monitor

    I have to do further tests of course, but as far as general use is concerned, I've haven't noticed anything strange or particularly disturbing in terms of slow transitions or ghosting for non-demanding uses. I'm not gaming on PC anymore, but will try some to see myself how bad it is. My unit...

    display calibration / is it worth ?

    If as you said you are not printing or photo editing and you are already happy with the IQ of your display, probably just for gaming a calibration tool is not worth the expense, even bacause you risk that the image, while ending being more accurate as far as color and contrast go, could lack...

    Acer ET430K 43" 4K monitor

    Disappointment in which respect? If you refer to its gaming capabilities of course it's definitely not the monitor of choice, but for generale usage and photo editing I'm finding it quite a compelling option if you want a big format display. The slight curve helps in both not being overwhelmed...

    Philips BDM4037UW - 40" Flicker-Free, Curved 4k

    Does SmartControl works with this panel to anyone that has bought it? Tried to install the II 1.4 version and with my AMD 260X all regulations controls when I launch the software are just greyed out.. Ok, with Smart Control Premium seems to work, although not all OSD controls are available...

    looking for a large IPS or VA gaming monitor with no drawbacks

    The new Asus MX34VQ ultrawide seems to be a reasonable compromise between all mentioned aspects, has 100Hz and Freesync if you have an AMD card. Not particularly cheap though at around 800 USD.

    Philips BDM4037UW - 40" Flicker-Free, Curved 4k

    Ordered one anyway, as I'm basically not gaming but will use it for general PC purposes and non-professional pictures editing. Does anyone know if it's confirmed that it doesn't support HDCP on any input? (really strange in 2017 for a 4K display, but it really seems the case from the specs..)

    32inch 4k monitor

    Well, do not be so sure, there are still a lot of display on sale that are not HDCP 2.2 compliant, for the same (inexplicable to me) reason that almost all displays currently sold come with DP 1.2 while the 1.4 version has been already available for quite a while (heck there are still monitors...

    32inch 4k monitor

    Yeah, can totally be. I do not know why, but display manufacturer tend not to reveal in the specs what version of HDCP is supported, forcing consumer to browser aimlessly on the web in order to find it.. Considering that's a feature that can make or break a video chain, I guess it's quite a big...

    32inch 4k monitor

    I doubt it, since the manufacturer doesn't specify it. According to Displayspecification the only one supporting it is the new Benw PD3200U: http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/bdcfb1c3

    new monitor suggestions based on my current pc build.

    It's written VA in the specs: https://www.asus.com/us/Commercial-Monitors/PB328Q/specifications/ And believe me, it's a quite known fact that is AMVA, there are several reviews around (and they do not seem to mention any frame skipping at max refresh)

    Why are companies like Dell, Asus, iiyama and NEC not making 40" 4K monitors

    Honestly 49" seems quite overkill to me for a PC display, how far can you actually sit from it? Already from a "normal" 80-90cm distance a 40" looks enormous to me.. Even PPIs at that distance will be barely enough for me at a hair less than 90.

    new monitor suggestions based on my current pc build.

    Are you totally discarding 34" UW displays? Around 700USD you can order the excellent Microboard M340CLZ (VA panel, 100Hz) or its "twin" Asus MX34VQ for around 800. Not particularly cheap of course, but more immersion in games guaranteed :)

    new monitor suggestions based on my current pc build.

    Well, both the Asus PB328Q and the Philips BMD3270QP have quite good image quality to begin with, both in terms of colors (in IPS ballpark according to all reviews I've read) and contrast (at least triple the best of available IPS). They maybe aren't the fastest around for gaming, but they both...

    new monitor suggestions based on my current pc build.

    The Asus PB328Q has an AMVA panel, actually the same as the Philips you linked, plus it's 75Hz instead of 60Hz ;)

    XB321HK - Alternatives?

    Why not read "It's not 4K, but"... and has G-Sync btw Subjective opinion of course, but I'd take a UW 1440p @100Hz for gaming all the time vs a 2160p @60Hz..

    XB321HK - Alternatives?

    Why not this? https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/aoc-ag352ucg/ It's not 4K, but I think UW is that much more engrossing for gaming, has 100Hz and it would be quite cheaper too..

    new monitor suggestions based on my current pc build.

    I would choose the Asus, contrast is excellent and differently from the HP Omen 32 it doesn't have PWM. The Samsung has a too low resolution for a 32 incher for my tastes.

    The AOC was reviewed by PC Monitors and of the Philips you can find a couple of reviews on Youtube in case ;)

    32inch 4k monitor

    All sport an IPS panel, which is not ideal if you plan to watch a lot of movies, contrast ratio and black levels are definitely subpar. Have you considered a VA panel alternative? At 32" 4K unfortunately there isn't much choice at the moment: AOC U3277PWQ or Philips 328P6VJEB. But you have to...

    Big 4K for Code writing

    Yeah, of course the risk is there, but consider the following: - it is slightly curved, so at least a bit of the shifting effect should be reduced - you can check PC Monitors review, they have a nice clip on the display's viewing angles, so you can judge yourself in case - I think that such a...

    Big 4K for Code writing

    Which Philips are you referring to? the BDM4350? Or the newer BMD4037UW? According to a user in another forum to which I've asked to run a retention test, the latter shouldn't suffer of the issue, and should have even a Pixel Orbiting option in the OSD to be on the safe side. For now never...

    Philips BDM4350UC 43 inch 4K IPS PWM-free monitor

    Talking about Philips big displays, I'm seriously considering the new BDM4037UW, as I'd prefer a VA panel. I know it's totally unsuitable for gaming but seems quite a nice display for general usage and image editing. Any experience/opinion about it?

    Philips BDM3270 - a hidden gem

    Really a good price for the QP2, here in Italy Eur 420 is the least I've found it. Have you calibrated it by chance? What contrast value can you reach more or less?
  34. T

    Philips BDM3270 - a hidden gem

    So does the QP2 actually have a glossy or semi-glossy coating? or at least less matte than the QP? Strange that the Asus costs almost double, where are you from? throughout European shops I've always find it about 100 Eur more than the QP. Apart for the 75Hz, I like the Asus design quite more to...

    Best Reviewed A-MVA Monitor Thread: Read the 1st Post

    I bet it sports the same panel as the Philips, even pricing looks basically the same. If that's the case, it won't be a gaming monitor at all unfortunately.. Should be this one: I've stumbled into this one from AOC: http://us.aoc.com/product_feature.php?id=84 Not available in Europe...

    Philips BDM3270 - a hidden gem

    Apart from the 75Hz support, is any reason to justify the Asus PB328QP's almost USD/EUR100 higher price? I'm still undecided for which to opt for.. P.S. can anyone confirm that the only difference between the Philips BDM3270QP and QP2 is that the latter one has a glossy screen and max...

    Best Reviewed A-MVA Monitor Thread: Read the 1st Post

    Here in Italy I can still see the S27D590C listed on Amazon for ~Eur 330. Talking of 4K displays, for now doesn't seem that in the VA-field there are so many enticing propositions available: - the Innolux-based 32" AOC and Philips have received middling reviews at best, due largely to the...
