Jedi2155 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/benq/ex2780q This display has USB-C + Data transfer but USB-PD is limited to 10w unlike the 65w on the Dell....only drawback. That and it has a ton of frills I don't need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only upgrade I'd consider is this newer JÄRVFJÄLLET design but .... I have the same chair. It's worked pretty well for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the same one you have at work? I don't have that exact model but I have a very similar Dell docking station at work that I am happy with.

Jedi2155 Posted April 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 It looks like its harder to use the company credit than I thought. its only specifically improve the office ergonomic requirements thus because I already own a monitor its hard to justify that. I may be able to justify a docking station later because I could possibly argue that having to reach behind monitors to connect cables could be poor ergo practices..

Jedi2155 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Recently replaced my LG27GL83A-B for a Pixio Prime 7 and summarized my findings. More interestingly: It seems like Samsung is coming out with a refresh of their CHG70 & CRG9 displays with a new Odyssey G7/G9 naming scheme. The G9 is the 2020 49" version of my 2019 CRG9 but with a 1000R curvature compared to the 1800R curvature. It also ups the refresh rate from 120hz to 240 hz.

Jedi2155 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 New LG27GN850 for 2020 (GL was a 2019 model). Primary difference looks like it has the same wide-gamut backlight as the 850 but without the USB ports. Stand looks horrific so if I'm tempting to get this and a monoprice stand. Also $50 cheaper at $450 vs $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaphax Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Monitor choice seems solid. Just a note about the stand, It's very similar to the stand that came with my LG34GK950F although it looks a little bulkier. My main issue I had with the stand was the maximum height adjustment and the legs sticking out into my workspace. I ended up mounting both my monitors on monitor arms which I'm very happy with. I've used a very similar monoprice stand previously on my korean yamakazi/catleap 27" display. It's absolute shit. Aside from the fact that adjustments can't really be made without tools (the height on the one you linked is adjustable) and are designed to be set once, the amount of desk space that bottom foot of the stand takes up is huge. Even if you're ok with putting something on top of the foot (it's about 1/4" thick) it's just not a great stand. There are better options like this monitor arm, which is what I have two of.

Jedi2155 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 I'm still super uncomfortable just keeping my Pixio PX7 prime even though it fits all the requirements criteria. Something inside me feels wrong choosing that over the LG even though I don't even use it as a primary gaming display. Interesting what you said about the Monoprice monitor stand, makes me feel more uncomfortable about now but I think its an newer design that what you experience where you required tools to adjust. The stand is at 8" deep which stays within available area. I cannot use any type of monitor arm for my desk since it has a backplane and a window behind that. I don't like finding new options either because I generally move my computer about once a year (its been in almost every room in my house lol). Still wondering if I should grab a Dell instead. Found a good comparison of the new GN850-B which talks again about the high gamut backlight which I prefer. A lot of people seem to prefer the natural colors of the sRGB backlight on the 83A but I didn't like it and prefer a high gamut one on my Pixio / Yamakasi.

Malaphax Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 It's HDR 600 which isn't great, I also suspect that peak brightness is very limited. It's not as bad as HDR 400 which is what most displays have (mine included), HDR 400 is pure marketing and not HDR, it's not even worth using. Seems like a solid monitor. It sounds like the 144hz is for displayport and 120hz is for HDMI. I assume the next few years of displays and tvs will push pretty hard to support hdmi 2.1 and variable refresh rates, especially since both consoles support that tech. I've heard there have been some minor teething issues with getting the full bandwidth out of hdmi 2.1, some current panels support it (sort of) but need firmware updates.

T1no Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 is there eve hardware to push that much fps on 4k ? but yeah if i have to upgrade my display that would be it. ips4k 144hz+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have mentioned this before but what I really want to try is 1440p being DLSS-2.0-upscaled to 4k. I think that is doable on the newer cards at good framerates. See example below. article - https://www.techspot.com/article/2109-nvidia-rtx-3080-ray-tracing-dlss/ Example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaphax Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 My ultrawide LG34GK950F is dying, again... I previously sent this in for repairs in May 2020, and I'm starting to see the same issues, which look like horizontal lines across the display. Very obvious on solid colored images. This isn't unique, it's a known defect, appears to be a ribbon cable that wears out prematurely. See examples: One - Two - Three This is frustrating on several levels, partly because at this point it's out of warranty and probably going to cost me. Plus knowing how these places work I'll actually need to wait a little bit until it gets bad enough for some repair tech to actually approve the repair.

Malaphax Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Currently giving a 34GP83A-B a test drive. This is supposed to be the US only and slightly upgraded version of the LG34GK950F that I previously owned. Internet says it's the same panel, I'm inclined to agree. I did briefly see what other options I had, sadly the Alienware AW3420DW wasn't in stock with Dell directly, and was more expensive than LG's offerings. I also read some reviews that buying this product outside of retail/Dell directly could result in Dell not honoring their usual 3 year warranty (which would be the whole point in purchasing this monitor). I must be in the minority of people that had issues with my LG34GK950F, since I see mostly glowing reviews and only a handful of people who had issues (or me who had the same failure twice...). As much as I might be inclined to purchase a third party extended warranty, I'm not sure how worthwhile that might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaphax Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 I bought it out-right, but I'm waiting on a refund from my credit card's extended warranty. If they give me the refund, that would be nice. If they don't, I would have needed to buy a new monitor anyways considering the repair cost is more than a new monitor. I haven't overclocked it to 160hz, and honestly that doesn't even appeal to me. I'm not entirely sure I could easily see the difference between 120hz and 144hz, let alone 160hz. Plus I have no idea if overclocking causes any issues with them manufacturers warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 I can see a difference from 120 hz to 240 hz. I cannot see a difference from 120 to 144 or 120 to 165. I can see a difference from 165 Hz to 240 Hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
