Pascal limitation? They simply want you to buy a new card.

No new top GPU models from Nvidia this year. There is no pressure from AMD to make this viable. They will release smaller models from 20xx/16xx range.

Very glad it worked for you.

I used 2.43 with no problems, the tool checked the firmware and said that is the latest version. P.S. If someone needs the 2.43 version and cannot find it, send me a message and I will share the link.

A word of advice for the firmware update - use older version of Onscreen display and you will succeed (if there is new update). Latest 2.86 is messed up, use the one on the CD that came with the monitor. To the folks that noticed a low contrst - you have not set gamma properly. Play with the...

Hi guys, I am using Asrock Z370 Taichi with this CPU and 64 Gigs of 3200 RAM with XMP loaded. As I wrote in the title the CPU wants 1.42 Vcore to run at 5Ghz with offset voltage +70 and LLC-1 in UEFI v.1.30 My questions are - is it too much to use it 24/7? My cooler is Noctua D15 and the CPU...

Advice for those folks who try to update the firmware via USB-C. Plug the cable in USB 2.0 port on the PC and the stupid software will detect the connection.

Thanks a lot, SKill.

Hi, do you guys know why I have to manually power on the monitor on system startup? I didn`t turn it off when the PC shut down, yet I have to switch it on with the remote on every startup.

They have exactly the same panels, don`t know the reason for the price difference. Also, do not believe specs written somewhere, they are probably wrong. Check the LG site for information.

RGB: 49 33 6 - exactly 6500K white point. Brightness is 20%, Contrast 70, Gamma 2.2 (Gamma mode 2 ) Сalibrated with X-Rite i1Display Pro. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I...

Yes, via LG software. Today I was offered the new firmware, but I need the USB-C cable to connect the monitor to the PC and I still don`t have it.

Quote from the Japanese site above, translated with Chrome: Also, the PWM frequency has been increased from 120 Hz to 480 Hz in the firmware update.

Yes, it looks like this theoretically. But in practice this particular model has its own mind, and you can read about intermittent blinking, blackouts, signal loss - all because of improper cable connection, using various cables. LG advise to use ONLY the cables that came with the monitor. Of...

15 feet is too long for DP connection, this in not LAN cable and quality of signal is strongly dependent on cable lenght. It`s very possible that the monitor will lose signal or blink ocassionally, etc. Nevertheless, you can buy quality certified cable of this lenght, which won`t be cheap, but...

The monitor uses PWM, unless they solved the problem with later firmware, but I seriously doubt it... Moving vertical lines at Ufotest site are not clear and single, but multiple - which is a clear indication of PWM. I am not saying there is no PWM dimmning, just that I am not sensitive to it...

Do you use this LG lower then 50% value of brightness? Acording to that movie on you tube with flicker in slow motion when you decrease brightness it will flicker more badly. Also can you check what are values for eg. FPS1 mode? Also have you spent couple hours at it without eye problems or you...

"The old one without HDR and the most recent one with fake HDR "Acer HDR Ready" (350 nits lol). So i guess you have the newer model." HDR10 specs require multi zone dimming, the display has to achieve at least 1000nits of brightness, and for true HDR has to feature at least HDMI 2.0a. I know...

Today arrived mine LG 43UD79-B, actually I picked it up from the dealers myself. VERY NICE DISPLAY overall. LG probably decided to make good all-round display and have succeded in doing so. That said, the monitor definitely needs calibration. The so-called "factory calibration" is outright...

Acer ET430k has HDR? No, it does not.

On a Mac the USB-C will drive the display at 60Hz, but it will not charge the Mac. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. From another forum regarding the YCbcr 4:2:0...

HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 both support 4K@60 Hz. Do you use the cable that came with the monitor? Check in the manual in case you missed something.

Try this test: https://www.testufo.com/#test=blurtrail You should see clear vertical lines. Please, report back your findings. P.S. Repeat the test at 40% and 20% brightness and then compare the results.

OK, what would be the logical solution for somebody who wants to use more than 64 Gigs of RAM in a workstation, which is the limit on the mainstream platforms? Single core performance seems good on Coffeelake, but isn`t it better to get X299 board with a 7800X, then overclock it and install...

"While it's true most "reviewers" only toy with a product for a couple hours (while reading a press release almost verbatim) before shipping it back, this is actually my main desktop monitor now." That`s good to know, thanks for sharing your experience. I wonder why you don`t have issues with...

Your monitor is not "allegedly" flicker free, BenQ make some of the best backlights in the industry in this respect. On the other hand, in the backlight dimming of the LG 43UD79, they implement the so-called "black frame insertion", which leads to obvious flicker in the ENTIRE brightness...

"There is a mention that it uses, as we already now PWM (but it seems it is not annoying at the calibrating settings with a frequency of 119 hz." If the monitor is flickering at 119 Hz, it will be VERY ANNOYING, believe me. Especially after prolonged use. Do you think the reviewers have spent...

"The monitor may or may not have PWM" Well, it has PWM and there is proof for that. That`s the cheapest dimming method and given the price it`s understandable, but the LG guys write everywhere *FLICKER SAFE* which is a bold lie.

Well, people build fast workstations to use exclusively with specific software, maybe it`s time to do this. The graphics card must have DP output, but there are really cheap FirePro models which will do the trick.

"I prefer VA because IPS has that horrible glow in dark scenes" You know, the color and contrast shift in VA panels is inadmissible drawback and has always been a deal breaker for me. Limited and inaccutate color representation and so on. The positive sides are not enough to justify this. And...

Yes, you will need FirePro or Quadro in order to see and edit 10 bpc images in Photoshop. The mainstream gaming cards do not support OpenGL buffers.

Only $100 cheaper than HDR version? LOL. The so called "HDR for PC" is veeery suspicious.

Thanks for your input, Panmaster. I would choose LG 32UD99 if it ever becomes available... I don`t know what is the matter with this model, it`s being discussed since January, but is still nowhere to be found. Those blemishes on the BenQ, especially the color tint and the lack of uniformity...

Hi guys, I would like to ask the local gurus about a 32+ inch monitor which will be used for a workload of photo retouching and manipulations as well as games. It will be sufficient that the display covers the entire sRGB color space without going into wide-gamut territory and should have a...

"Flicker Safe mode further alleviates vision fatigue" - from LG site. So "Flicker safe" is a way to sell a real drawback and make it look like a good thing :)

Flicker safe? See for yourselves:

This is disappointing... Can you make a short movie at 240fps? Or anyone else? The request is addressed to everybody :)

This LG probably uses high frequency PWM - some go as high as 22 Khz. If the flickering is this rapid, there is absolutely no way you can see it, BUT it may cause headache after long use.

"This doesn't affect text clarity/crispness/sharpness in Windows, does it?" In Windows you can use "Clear Type" to correct font softness and color fringe. BGR is easily corrected. P.S. LG is launching 43MU79 in the coming months, which will be exactly the same monitor, but with an adjustable...

I had similar experience with temporary signal loss or screen blinking on my Yamakasi Catleap when I was using AMD video card via DVI. Later I changed the card with GTX 1080, using the DVI port again and the blinking stopped. So with the 43UD79 is not impossible that the same problem is somehow...
