    DUAL Layer LCD Display Info Thread (Mono LCD as Backlight)

    Bring on the dual layer LCDs, sure, old stuff for ages, but still nowhere near products that are accessible to regular people. All we get are super expensive pro mastering monitors and now the TV. Right now it's easier to buy OLED than dual layer LCDs. Micro led, dual layer, with glow reducing...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    Most monitors have that option in OSD, not sure why you would need to change the setting to ON or OFF. I don't use these apps that allow monitor control via software, if you do then turn it ON and usually it defaults to ON. Not doing it for fun, when all the units have stuck pixels, dust, crazy...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    Limited refresh rate on some monitors is caused either by the EDID not having the definition of the desired refresh rate in no sync mode or your cable is bad and even if you can select the higher refresh rate it won't hold or it will skip, usually it won't even switch to it. Of course the case...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    The pixel structure has typical VA larger spacing making it easier to see the "mesh"/"screen door effect" aka the black space between pixels, on some panels this causes horizontal lines (Samsung 31.5" 1440p VA). More here: https://imgur.com/a/0ewvudg Another thing is that 31.5" VAs often...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    OSD pop up is periodic, as long as monitor is connect to power and everything else can be disconnected and it's sitting in it's soft off mode it will still pop up after about 10h of being plugged in. There is some firmware bug or internal reset that forces input scan. It happens on all 850G...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    What do you mean exactly? Multi monitor setup? The LG has a joystick and that is the only way to perform a soft off. I don't remember a hard off switch you gotta unplug power if you want hard off. Detection differs between ports, DP does love to detect when it is and not connected to anything...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    There is of course PRAD.de as well: https://www.prad.de/testberichte/test-monitor-lg-32gk850g-b/ The 650F, 850F, PX329 are much much harder to find reviewed if at all. Sadly PRAD doesn't make good response time measurements for out of blacks and not useful to see VA response time speeds. Not...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    You don't have to quote reviews I've read them long ago, just share links to them if you want for others to find the reviews. You've missed playware: http://playwares.com/dpreview/55862022 And this is probably the most comprehensive one, I don't remember name of the guy who reviews there but...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    My 850G was fairly uniform, it was one of the nicer LCDs I've seen, as long as you forget about viewing angles as those from regular viewing position of 75cm mess up the image hard. No issues with whites as far as I remember. AUO M270DAN2.x sure those are notorious for one side warm other side...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    $400 or $300 both are ridiculous compared to 600 EUR with tax in EU and not going down at all since launch (even Gsync rip off version was already lower momentarily). 850G gets warm and you can feel the heat radiating from it a tiny bit at high/max brightness, I don't know what's up with VAs...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    Depends, there are plenty returned 850G on OCN from others, some of which were indeed because of the blur, I tried it anyway and the blur is there though for me it was not as bad at least on my unit as some other were reporting. Would be nice to not have to check 10 million things for possible...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    I use Total Commander that has black on light gray text (pixel perfect font, no cleartype or other antialiasing blurring in software) for it's tabs and menu, it's the easiest for me to see sharpness issues there right when I plug a monitor in and start using it, it will show over sharpening Z24i...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    All 850G :( If you want to see it look closely for grayish pixels around black text on white background (pixel perfect text, no antialiased fonts or cleartype crap), on images with fine details if you know how sharp they are supposed to look (such as sand, grass, ...). It can also vary to some...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    MG279Q is quite old and has the typical M270DAN2.x blurry image issus, was almost "defined" for this panel by this monitor since it was one of the first with it. Google "mg279q blurry" or blurry text, blurry image, it's easy to find. The blurry image is especially an issue on 27" 1440p as the...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    I would rather get 850F or PX329. The blur on 850G is real, I'm on Q3279VWFD8 right now and that one while not having any sharpness controls either has perfect neutral sharpness and perfect 2.2 gamma out of the box, it has way more fine detail in picture than 850G and that's even with it's more...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    https://keepa.com/#!product/3-B017DG09WM Launched 769 EUR. Rare deals below 700. In 1Q it was at 799 then 724, and hovering in the middle of that for the next year. In 2018 after 2 years of product on shelves it's still at 675-750 EUR. It depends where you look and how much you cherry pick your...

    Does My 27" 4K Dream Monitor Really Exist?

    Yes VA is 31.5" 4k I don't think there is a single 27" 4k VA panel not one I remember at least. There is 27UK850 https://www.prad.de/testberichte/test-lg-27uk850-w-attraktives-gesamtpaket/ but you can probably get same or older variant of the panel in cheaper LG 27" 4k IPS monitors with standard...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    Yes it's a common problem on 32GK850G, my unit did not have this issue and it's a lottery as far my monitoring of similar thread on OCN goes. Heard about it, disable deep sleep in OSD. If it persists your only luck is to exchange. No, at least not in EU, Amazon in EU doesn't really drop prices...
