Thinking of upgrading my monitor in a reasonable way.

GSync makes my monitor turn black on some games. Which is a bummer.

 

Yup... /hugs LG CX.

I'm constantly amazed by it. Just the other day, I noticed the subtle black's in a guys T-shirt that are not there on my LCD but while subtle was easy to see on the OLED (LCD side monitor, OLED main monitor). No GPU could ever hope to replicate something like this since it's a limitation of LCD displays. Now that I've seen this subtle effect, the LCD looks so...flat...anytime I have something with different levels/shades of "black" or really dark colors on it.

Now I just REALLY need freaking GPU prices to come back down to earth so I can get one with HDMI 2.1. Either that or a high quality DP to HDMI 2.1 converter which the Club 3D converter most certainly is not.

The Dell 43" has gone through a few cycles of 'special low price' moving it from $1754 all the way down to $1701 local. (compare with eg the S3221QS getting specials dropping from 959 to 623)

I'm starting to think I should go for LG 43UN700-B, its available as low as $1034, apparently uses same panel as the Dell & generally specs are near identical.

Interesting wriggle: ASUS ROG STRIX XG438Q is currently quite a lot off at 1599 at one local store.
Its 120Hz & Freesync which is pretty tempting but its VA & I've seen some not very complementary stuff about its picture quality (a bunch of positive things too though)
Anyone got experience with this monitor?

 

I have the ASUS ROG STRIX XG438VQ which is similar (and cheaper) I think its fantastic (its also supports G-sync)
which i would guess is pretty similar, thing is of course i cant really compare it to any other monitor since I dont have them
ps: love how you can change all the settings from within windows with a mouse no messing with little buttons that you keep forgetting what they do

 

A mains cable...
Seriously though a RTX 2070
(ps: its actually less resolution than a 4k and less than my previous setup which was 3x22" (1680x1050) @ 5292x1050)

No, that would be this which I was going to buy but then I realised that was going to be difficult to drive at native res

 

Btw if you play games that often locks cutscene in 30 fps, look for monitor with vrr that able to go as low as 30 hz.

My lg CX only does down to 40 and every time destiny 2 goes to cutscene its tearing galore because destiny 2 cutscenes are locked at 30 fps

 

You needn't have worried. I run a 3840x1600 panel from a GTX 1070. Resolution scaling is great these days.

 

I think most Dell monitors can do this - Dell provide a little tool that uses DDC to control the monitor through Windows.

My 38" Dell has a built-in KVM which I use to switch between my desktop Mac and my Windows gaming PC. I've set up some key bindings, so switching video + USB inputs between the two in either direction is just a matter of a three-finger-salute. It's great!

 

Put in an order for LG 43UN700-B

 

Good News....
I've found the perfect upgrade

 

That looks similar to the one in "it's a summer film" movie

 

And here I am just waiting on the ViewSonic VP3286-8K to become available, so I can replace my Dell UP3218K with a single cable solution with support for DSC

 

Ive seen those being used inside of glass sided p.c cases to display system info
