The height ajustment might seem like a minor thing but if you're adding a feature to a monitor, don't half-ass it. My $180 Dell S2419HGF is height ajustable and will stay in the position I set it to without issue. Got to wonder how this got through development without anyone raising a flag about the height ajustability.
It could be a 2 step and the resistance is just to prevent it from hitting the bottom
my AOC 1440p 144hz has an amazing height adjust stand. its such a smooth action i was impressed at the price point how well this monitor is doing
My hp 27-i from 3 years ago had great height adjustment. Tilt and csn go 90 degrees. Paid $300 1440p ips 144hz
My $150 onn monitor stand works better 😂
I got these 2 penny rubber shims that'll work great
My wallet doesn’t think it’s cheap
yeah no i got the TCL 65R635 for $1,000 last year. now I'm looking at monitor prices for upgrading my current 1080p 27" one and nothing looks good compared to my TV's price and performance
I always come in here thinking that I could buy some of this stuff and its always so expensive man
Yeah from the title I expected wayyyy cheaper than that, but it's LTT
@@ERMMM420 monitors have a better response time, it's the only reason why tvs are cheaper
Aren't they reviewing the product? Why would you not play a little Crab Rave and at least let us know how the speakers are?
So, what I got from this pretty thorough review is that the monitor has a blurry, effectively SDR VA screen and a droopy stand, in addition to costing over $600.
best monitor evah
600$ for a VA panel and hdr 400… that was a hard chose
We need to stop saying "HDR400 isn't very good" to "this monitor has no HDR capabilities at all in real life". Even in sponsored videos. Be honest.
Hardware Unboxed takes that stance, as I recall. "It's HDR400-certified, so don't get it for HDR, yadda yadda yadda."
for HDR, HDR400 isn't very good
Linus used to call these "HD-aren't".
@@benjaminoechsli1941 Yeah, HWUB tells as it is. Even some HDR1000 monitors has shit HDR
@@benjaminoechsli1941
In most cases, HDR400 will actually look worse than SDR. Really, for a baseline HDR experience you’d want HDR1000 and a decent amount of dimming zones.
The Gigabyte G34WQC is $350-400 and pretty much is the same thing, so I'll have to see if Hardware Unboxed compares the two.
Bought one of these last year, pretty happy with it
@@yevgeniykhakhaev9788 Here too. There were less options at the time but it was great for the buck and perfect for work. I was really warried since it replaced my previous MX299Q, which was IPS.
I have the G34QC not sure what the difference is with the G3WQC, bought it Nov 2020 for $300, it’s still going strong. Only thing I can’t stand is that when you use Gsnyc it puts it at 164.5 hz and not the full 165. You wouldn’t notice but I just don’t like that it says it lol
I had the G34WQC and it was pretty bad, but I thought that for the price I shouldn't expect better. However after only a month of use it just straight up died and wouldn't turn on so I RMA'd it. My options were get a refund or wait for it to be repaired.
I got the refund and instead of it I bought the Xiaomi Mi 34 ultrawide and that monitor is better in every single way than the Gigabyte. Better color calibration and QC, higher quality materials and design. All of that for $50 less.
So I was so happy that the Gigabyte trash died on me because I would never have gotten the Xiaomi which is a much better monitor.
exactly. This is why I do not like LTT/ShortCircuit's monitor content. Thye are pretty bad.
That high adjustment isn't really a minor gripe in my opinion especially for a $600 monitor.
He spent more time complaining about the rgb than the stand. This guy spends 1000s on just fancy keyboards, so I guess theres his priorities.
That stand is garbage son
After a certain price I think it’s assumed you are an enthusiast and going to spend the extra 20-100 on an arm. If not, you’re missing out. It’s one of those things you think doesn’t matter until you have one and then you’ll never go back.
@@anudeepk7579 there's something about this guy I don't like...I know these are more first impressions than actual reviews, but his opinions always suck.
@@jPup_ pretty much almost anyone buying a monitor at this price will buy an arm for it.
To me, this looks like the exact same panel as the Asus VG34VQL1B with a 150$ RGB tax. Same specs, panel type, controls, freesync, hdr400, curve radius without RGB for 150 less.
It is. This is an overpriced monitor.
You can likely google both and see what panels they use. None of these people actually make panels. They buy them from other companies and strap a driver board to it. You can find the actual panel model number in each one and find out if they are literally giving you the same panel with a different name. It's like "Gaming Chairs" they are all made by the same Chinese factory and everyone just slaps their own name on it.
Funnily enough in my country, the Asus VG34VQL1B is $600 but the GM34-CWQ is only $450
Does that Asus have quantum dot?
there can only be so many factories that make monitors.
the fact there are so many accessory brands that now have monitors to sell should be self explanatory.
buy from a reputable brand not some garbage ass off shoot
It's sad that short circuit is not
"we show you cool stuff that we think is unique or worth your money"
but rather
"we show you stuff we get paid for and pretend its worth the money"
How are they getting paid for it? It's not sponsored if you want to buy they have an affiliate link. The actual sponser is Ugreen for a power port.
GOD FORBID a channel does reviews of tech that is for the average consumer and some would appreciate the review and if you like the review they get a small commission form amazon. And it's a small commission.
If you think it's that easy to run a channel successfully why not make one yourself and present the Unique worth your money stuff yourself instead being a negative Nancy.
@@marioStortuga they got send a product and money, along with guidelines what to do in review.. ?
that 600$ ain't cheap, you can get a decent VA dell, also UQHD 144hz for 400.
I like Plouffe's monitor reviews but I feel he's completely out of the loop with pricing, you can get monitors with similar specs for almost half the price if you go for budget/Chinese brands, he seems to only look at luxury brands like NZXT/Sony/Coolermaster/Corsair
Yup, I bought my ultra wide curved samsung monitor for less than 200€
He is deep into the custom keyboard game though so I think that’s skewed his perception on value.
They live in a high cost of living area and only consider brands that do sponsors as competition.
you don't even have to go cheap chinese brands. you can get name brand monitors that're way better for like $150-200 less.
@@YungKit Yeah, in the UK you can get an ultrawide monitor with the same or better specs for around $350 or less, I just checked
The LTT set is really nice but so many reviews are filled with comments about products that only happen when blasted in studio lighting. You really can’t judge the RGB unless it’s in a normally lit room or in the dark.
This is true. They need to set up desk/floor/ceiling lights as if it's an actual bedroom/living room and have a section of the video with the studio lights off and house lights on if they want to comment on the brightness of RGB or something.
@Bzake lighting looking worse in a darker room? that makes no sense lol
@Bzake What does their investment in studio lighting have to do with RGB looking better in the dark?
@Bzake only cheap stuff comes with RGB. like when nature uses some colors to show when something is poisonous.
@@cubertmiso4140 what about birds? Birds have colorful plumage without needing to be poisonous.
I can't believe the price either! Should be $300 at most
This tv is trash
@@KingLarbear it’s not a TV bro 💀
@@sabbledabble it's still trash tho
I've been seeing ultrawide monitors go on sale from 200-400 recently, $650 is not a notable price in any way.
Not with 144hz, 1ms response time and on a VA Panel. Those at that price point are trash.
News flash, 600 isn’t cheap.
Alex called a 1500 dollar laptop budget in a review a few years ago
I had a RGB fan controller from Cooler Master catch on fire recently. They don’t see to care that their product almost burned down my computer, and possibly my entire house. I will never buy anything from them again. All they said was that’s “unfortunate” and mailed me a replacement. They didn’t ask for the item back to see what happened or anything. Yeah no way I put the same product back into my computer.
They should rename to hotter master
I sense a lawsuit
I had a Samsung fridge short out which created a lot of smoke in my kitchen while I wasn't home. Samsung also didn't care at all.
I'd imagine that for everything other than cases, PSUs and cooling solutions they basically just slap their logo on the product as it leaves someone else's factory. Also, if you didn't speak Chinese, then you didn't actually speak to anyone at Cooler Master.
the thing is that the va pannel has much more motion blur than you think even though it has a .5 pixel response time if you want more detail about it go to dawid does tech stuff were he uses this monitor and shows how much worse it is compared to an ips
Motion blur is an issue that comes from pairing an underpowered backplane with a particular display type. It's not a panel or panel type issue. These companies keep trying to use cheaper backplanes with VA panels, which require at least LTPO backplanes in order to be effectively driven. "VA has more motion blur than IPS" is both inaccurate and frustrating because it's such misinformation. However, VA panel based monitors typically do suffer more motion blur, because, again, trying to cheap out on the backplane.
@@TheJjjoj this is all false and misinformation btw. VA does have more blur than ips, THAT'S why majority of high-high end monitor is a IPS. IPS renders motion better and it's a fact.
The Samsung Odyssey line is a proper VA monitor without that crap, isn't it?
@@KissesLoveKawaiiYou are incorrect. That's not how these technologies work. Motion is a matter of pixel transition. The backplane of a display drives the pixels by sending specfic current to switch the subpixels into an on or off stste. Any pixel transition requires an adjustment to the amount of current. On the whole, TN panels are the easiest to drive, then IPS, then VA, then OLED. TN panels can be paired with the cheapest A-si backplane and still have solid motion performance. IGZO backplanes were developed specifically for IPS because of the cost and power inefficiency of LTPS backplanes. They meet the required current capabilities of high refresh rate IPS displays. LTPO was developed as a lower power draw alternative to LTPS for OLED displays but they are also ideal for VA panels. A good example of a VA panel that uses a higher end backplane is samsung's oddyssey neo g7. It has some of fastest response times and least motion blur on the market yet uses a VA panel.
@@TheJjjoj neo g7 can't even touch the top tier IPS and yet i suppose to be top of the tops of VA. Says something about VA... doesn't it. Matter of fact that if you buy VA monitor there is a very high chance you will end up with a blurry garbage, that chance is SUBSTANTIALLY lower if you shopping for IPS.
Bothered more by the RGB base than the height adjustment that can't hold the monitor weight. lol Had me cracking up.
there are some very good options cheaper than this these days
6:00 I guess the purpose of base LED is when it is dark, you can put something like a device that needs lighting in that place. for example an airpods, pen, headphones etc. luminous enough that you can see it when you need it even if it is dark.
The non-RGB version is $250 cheaper. Damn. Didn't know LEDs were that expensive.
Oh wait, they aren't, you can make your own bluetooth and wifi controllable waterproof led strips for 15€ easily 🤡
The HDR 400 standard calls for true 8-bit color channels, which is what we expect from SDR monitors.
If you want 10-bit color channels (actual HDR), then you need to move up to HDR 600. That said, some HDR 600 (and higher) monitors that have 60+ Hz refresh rates, will fall back to 8-bit color channels when set to more than 60 Hz. When the monitor falls back 8-bit color channels, it stops being HDR 600 (or higher) compliant.
Edit: The HDR 400 spec calls for 8-bit color channels. That means that a monitor must have at LEAST 8 bits per color channel. HDR 600 and above calls for 10-bit color channels. One of the great things about HDR content is the reduction of color banding due to the larger color range that's only possible because it's using more bits per color. HDR 400 monitors do NOT guarantee 10-bit color channels. If you find an HDR 400 monitor that does proper 10-bit, then consider that to be a nice bonus because that monitor wasn't required to do so when the only thing you are told is that it's HDR 400 compliant.
My dell monitor is hdr400 and has 10 bit color
@@Defy_Convention My dell monitor is hdr400 and has 10 bit color
HDR400 and HDR600 aren't even proper HDR. Not even for OLED.
currently running 2x Dell S3422DWGs and they are rated for HDR400 but has got 10bit color and tbh, HDR actually looks pretty decent on them.
@@randyravener They factually and objectively don't get bright enough for HDR to look decent on them.
Height adjustment is a thing for me, I gave up on this as soon as I saw that problem. Thanks for the video
I know the complaint about the stand wasn't really about the RGB, but I'm sure the RGB will look a lot better when not under studio lighting.
Not that it would matter for most people, since monitor arms exist.
You really shouldn't have to spend $50-150 for a monitor arm when you are already paying $400 over the value of the monitor. The stand should just work.
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM The only way for a included monitor stand to be better than a monitor arm is for the included stand to be a monitor arm. I couldn't manage without my monitor arms.
That said if you wanted the best value, you wouldn't buy this monitor in the first place.
The cm model is the same panel excepts has way less grey to grey time and goes without the rgb on the stand and has purple led strips on the back but for 350$ on Amazon. Bought mine last week and it doesn’t have a broken height adjustment like yours. It overclocks to 223hz works with gsync out of the box and is amazing. Don’t buy the rgb model it’s literally a waste when Amazon is selling the cm model for 350$. Btw hdr worked flawless on mine, put the monitor on game mode and hdr still works and looks amazing. Seems like I dodge a bad experience by deciding on the cm model. 4th button from the left turns on the screens hdr and make sure hdr is enabled in windows. Colors pop very good, you know hdr is done right when you can get glow stick colors on a display, They really do pop
I have the previous version of this monitor, and is quite similar, but the new features are welcome.
The speaker on the one I have are terrible though, some phones sound better xD
Yeah the cm model is good other than the speakers which almost no monitor has good speakers lol. My hdr worked flawless with gsync out the box and ocd to 223hz. My stand also works well so idk why they showed a ef’d up screen unless the rgb model is that terrible.
Even CHG70 has quantum dots with the VA panel, also 144hz and curved. It also has HDR600, 200$ cheaper when it was at MSRP. Old panel but does everything except the ultrawide. The only downsides of that panel are ghosting and flickering. I have a G9 Neo and the CHG70 both are" VA panels but no ghosting on G9.
650 USD for a monitor.... More than a graphic card... I'll stay with my cruddy TN panel.
You guys should do an update on Panel types.
So this!
At first I thought you weren’t going to try the speakers and then you did. For me, my computer monitor is the second screen in my living room. I don’t have it hooked up to any type of sound bar or anything, so if I want to game and I need sound, it’s either headphones or the display speakers. The fact that this monitor has four speakers is the reason why I needed the test.
Imaging paying 600 euro's for a screen and being like..."it should be ok"
I appreciate the screen shots of actual video and RGB. Unfortunately I didn't see any video that I would say is good. Usually we hear of NITS and how bright the monitor display is. It wasn't very White or Bright. Thanks for the review, I am considering a monitor in this size and curvature.
So the brightness drops when you turn on FreeSync... Does it also happen when enabling only G-sync, because I have a NVIDIA GPU? Or do you then get the complete brightness?
This is why I prefer Gamers Nexus reviews of PC oriented products, they don't do fluff pieces on overpriced PC products and they'll dock it for it's price AND performance. They have a firmer grasp of what the average consumer is willing to spend and expect, this isn't that at all. TVs are quickly making gaming monitors obsolete in both performance and price, not to mention real estate with the sizes you can get. For the same price or a little more, I can get a TV for 55in that has more features and better specs aside from input latency and a lower refresh rate. I'd rather compromise there than for the few benefits I get with a monitor like this that offers far less for my money.
I just discovered the AW3423DW does NOT have aspect ratio stretching. But the GM34-CWQ however does have the fill screen option which is actually what I'm looking for for my Xbox 360 ultrawide movies. My 360 will be feasting off Windows 10's WMP12+MKV through that thing, thank gosh anamorphic stretching hasn't left monitors.
I'm sure coolermaster won't mind the "corsair software impression" tag in the timestamps.
Naw, same team lol
Not really sold on this one... the base RGB, the weak height adjustment, the mini-USB, everything about this monitor just screams half-assed.
I'm sure it'll look nice when you sit in front of it, of if you're paying for the whole package, and half of the package is this uninterested in delivering good quality, then the good half also loses value.
If you guys get any more news about this monitor or ones similar to it in the future, I'd love to hear it. This is super close to the monitor I want to buy, I just want slightly better HDR.
Try the Mi 34" ultra wide
This monitor is not cheap and has pretty bad VA smear. gigabyte m324 is almost the same as this one and is 400 bucks or the mi 34. or the asus vg34. just get those please.
Don't waste your money on this trash. If you have $650 to spend on a monitor you can easily get a 144hz + IPS panel with true HDR. Just don't expect it to come with gimmicky RGB or from a "Gaming" company. Buy from someone like Samsung or LG. You know, the people who actually make monitor panels.
Check out Hardware Unboxed. They are the ones that actually have good reviews for monitors. Short Circuit seems to only do sponsored videos so it’s hard to actually know if it’s good
I recently bought the MSI MPG Artymis 343CQR on a deal for £425 Its 1000R Curve, 165Hz HDR400 - And I would say the HDR actually the best HDR 400 Ive seen. No built in speakers tho.
@11:15 I'm a professional what it comes to computers, AV-devices and upkeep/maintenance of them and I'm "way old" from the CRT days. The day I learned that MONITORS need Firmware updates (when trying to figure out an issue with clients streaming studio setup like 3 years ago) I wen't like "oh no... oh well... that's better than having to live with it for the rest of the products life if it's buggy from the factory" and I took that immediately into my checklist when receiving monitors or installing them... check the firmware and update.
It's equivalent to "always update bios when installing new PC" would be to anyone else as well. just a thing you do because it'll reduce the possible issues you'll have.
You can buy 4k 144hz monitors for the same price and monitors with very similar specs for considerably cheaper. Who are they aiming this at?
me
$600 USD is not cheap.
Height adjust issue is unforgiveable. Not something to just gloss over! I feel it's up there with basic functionality like the apple display with attached power cable.
I feel like Linus would have roasted them to within an inch of their life for this!
The one they showed is broken it’s not that easy to move up and down on one that’s not
Just got this a few days ago, really like it so far to be honest. Had a Samsung UW before and this is way better with colours. Also, for me the height adjustment stays where I put it!
In another review it was said that HDR is actually brighter with free sync off. Can you confirm?
Nahhh, for about $100 more I got myself a 49" 1440p 120hz ultrawide off of amazon. The extra screen space on a 49" vs a 34" ultrawide is so much more worth it.
Does the monitor actually have headphone hangers? It is mentioned but I never saw it.
How did this popped up in my feed (not notification) that fast?
I guess I had too much quickbits
0:55 How? That's pretty much where Quantum Dot started: in VA monitors and TVs.
12:18 You should use the ghosting test instead here to easier see, well, ghosting.
i was so on board with this monitor, then you showed the height adjustment, yeah that is a definite deal breaker for me. i run triple monitor eyefinity and my middle monitor is a 27 inch asus, and it has full range height adjustment. and it was only 250 dollars.
Sad story time:
I am having a bit of a PC gaming return since I bought a 3060 a few months ago and now I have been buying peripherals and accesories to return to PC gaming. I have a 29" 1080p ultrawide monitor that I've used for a few years and it's fine. I like the ultrawideness of it, but 1080p even for productivity is not that much workspace.
A month ago, I went ahead and bought myself my "dream" monitor, the QD-OLED Alienware. It was on sale and I adore OLED screens, plus it has all the specs that I've been looking for in a monitor. Mainly ultrawide and high refresh rate in a big size that is still manegeable.
I bought it directly from Dell and there was no estimated shipping date when I bought it. It's been a month, and it still hasn't shown up.
That was entirely fine since I was not in a hurry to get it or anything. Well, at least I wasn't. My company is now offering me a job in another country, and the way that they will be sending me means that I'm not going to be able to take much of anything with me, at least at first.
I'm leaving in a few weeks, and my monitor still hasn't arrived. I spent so much in a monitor and a GPU that I won't even be able to use at least for 6 months until I get a chance to do a full move.
So I guess I'm in the market for a cheap PC and a cheap ultrawide when I arrive there. It just will not be my amazing shiny new QD-OLED Alienware.
Alienware is trash
VA is definitely behind for gaming. IPS is the new minimum and OLED is the new standard.
VA panels have so much ghosting it hurts.
What's the hole (~) 4:20 / 4:30 or so you see on the stand? The spring seems like it's a peg adjustment which seems weird to have for a monitor.
tip when you open the box and it seems hard to get out just turn it upside down it will probably slide down slowly :)
Where can I get that animated wallpaper for desktop, that's awesome.
Honestly if you need a really cheap wqhd monitor, go for the Xiaomi one, might not have a quantum dot panel, but it's pretty good and at least here in Europe can be found frequently under 400€
It's VA, curved, 144hz, just like this one, had the chance to try it and for the price can't really complain
You left us hanging on what the Micro USB connector was for! (1:49) Does anyone know what its use was? Is it to connect the USB hub?
it's for the rgb. it connects from the base of the monitor to the pc
Tthe HDR on the OSD being greyed out is normal if you turn on HDR via windows as it reverts backlight to driver control.
13:50 for over $600, I think that's kinda steep for not even a full HDR experience.
I'm still waiting for some non outrageously expensive 27" 4k oled screen.
The few panels we're finally seeing are either 1440p are outrageously expensive due to nice but non essential features (like 32", 120hz).
is there a video for the computer next to him? i would love to see that!
I hope we get 24-27inch qd oled panels eventually that won't break the bank
What do you guys think about huawei's mateview gt 34 with soundbar? I've been using it for a year now and my only issue is I wish it had a usb pass through. Just thought this has a lot of features for its price and I kinda wish it had a review from LTT
@13:38 what game are you playing with the ball lightning like that? Is it a Metro game?
The non RGB is $349 I don't think the little colored lights are worth an extra twofity?
Isn't HDR 400 the same brightness level of monitors that we've had for the last 20-plus years?
for 650 i want to be able to adjust it to whatever i want and not have a weak spring
if you look in the back of the stand post were the hole is there could be a tension screw that's accessible through it that's not in the documentation but i could be wrong.

Seriously though, what’s taking so long for DisplayPort 2.0 to be adopted? Not even the new Nvidia GPUs have it.
Hopefully the new RDNA cards have it
Because they had bought enough of the older connectors and to finish using it all. 4090ti/4080ti may come with it in a year or so. Also not really any monitors that use it as well. Takes two to do it.
Well the 40 series has been done for like 2 years, they weren't going to go back and retrofit 2.0 into it. They just want the money without giving features.
@@RageQuitSon and DP 2.0 has been done for almost 4 years.
mainly just due to it being more expensive and really no one really needing that amount of bandwidth, displayport 1.4 can do 4k 120hz, and id be shocked if even the 4090 could do more then that, let alone 240hz

How come yall don’t test the actual response times and input lag?
I think it's the same panel that is in the Dell s3422dwg, but this one have speakers and rgb
32 non ultra wide GIGABYTE G32QC A only $280 on amazon right now no rgb but video quality is about the same and I use a arm. Cheapest 1440p 165hz 1ms quality monitor I found also found a tuned color profile but was very close to my tune so didn't see a difference but would have let me skip the tune!
Dell makes this exact monitor with this exact panel for 500 dollars and often puts it on sale for 300-400 dollars (you can also find it for sale as open box for 300-350 90% of the time). And if you’re eligible for the Amazon gift card you can get 150 off that, so basically this exact monitor with all the same specs (ultra wide, 1440p vertical res, 144hz, HDR, 1ms gtg response times, etc) for basically 150 bucks
Its nice cause you can put a phone charger in the base and see your phone from the rgb but at the same time you need a big desk for that base mount...
That stand is TINY compared to the LG ultrawides.
Have a completely different monitor, but on mine I have to drop down the HZ for HDR to stop being greyed out and kick in. It's an IPS 400 nit with no local dimming and glow, therfore I don't bother anyway
I don’t know this dude’s name but he’s good. He seems relatively new. Great work dude

Well, now you have to make a video on how to update the firmware on our monitors!
I'm still rocking a 4K 40" (VA 10bit 4:4:4) Korean monitor from 2015 😅 got mine for just over $500 i think, I'm still waiting for an affordable 40-43" 4K 10bit 120Hz+ monitor. THEN i'll finally upgrade
I'll probably keep just using my 27" Odyssey G7 till 2nd or 3rd gen QD-OLED panels
I've been watching a Samsung S34J55 for years now. And it keeps baffling me how not-shit this thing is for a cheap ultrawide. I have no idea how well it works for gaming, but for audio/photo/video editing (well, mostly photo and video) and content consumption it does an amazing job. Worth while picking up second hand.
Do they realize they're in a really brightly lit studio and the RGB will glow more in a normal setting?
I wish I could update the Firmware on my Acer X34P but Acer does not provide it under any circumstances. I would have to send it in on my cost and let them do it.
I'm curious to see what you guys would have to say about an e-ink monitor
they do e-ink monitors now then?
What would be the point?
I wonder if HDR is supported up to certain speeds and not beyond? What if you turned it back down to 60 Hz?
My pc 6 months old (i7 11th gen, 16gb ram, aorus b560 elite, 256gb nvme )and windows 10 (i used 2gb old graphic cars) freeze randomly without any load and i have to restart pc. Sometimes ethernet connected with my phone and someone call than freeze again and again i have to restart. I installed windows 5 times and showed 5 technicians but my pc still freeze...can someone help me i can't do anything about this
@6:55 it's designed to have a desk pad like you are using go underneath it.
11:20
I had no clue you gotta do that. How tf do I even update a display
I suspect people don't firmware update their monitors unless there is a problem with them. I run Linux and I suspect most monitor manufacturers don't provide an easy way (e.g. via a USB stick plugged into it) to update the firmware in Linux anyway (fwupd support is something you should cover - that works in Windows and Linux).
Luckily, my £187 Samsung M7 Smart Monitor uses its wi-fi to check, download and prompt you for a firmware update (yes, it has a remote control too, so you can confirm easily - all monitors should have a remote in addition to onboard controls IMHO).
The low-mid range ultra wide monitor scene really feels like different companies rehashing the same monitor. We really need someone to change things up.
3:44 Its not a "minor" thing if you can't even heigh adjust monitor.
6:04 Dim your rooms lights.
0:19 that's a 2016 H3H3 move. The good old days
That static at 6:54 scared me, or its really my speakers broken :^(
I got a34" Mi 144hz ultra wide 4k Monitor for what worked out to $400 USD I love it and the spring is gtreat in mine
I want mfrs to start using integrated USB hubs for controlling the monitor's settings. It's such an obvious thing and would be a useful QoL extra.
9:16 "Color Weakness"? Saturation? Greyscale?
I have this monitor and use it by plugging in my MacBook via USB-C, and my desktop via displayport and USB-B, but I can't get the USB-A ports on the side to work via USB-C. Does anyone know if this is possbile?
I bet that would look really cool on a glass table.
Just got the OLED alienware a couple of days ago. Would you recommend using Windows 11's auto HDR feature for 24/7 use?
yes
@@varunaX Don't you think it washes out the colors a bit? It might be just me but turning it off while browsing the internet, or watching non-HDR content, makes the colors feel more saturated.
@@Maradiaga23 i use dual monitors and the 1 on my right with HDR is night and day more gorgeous than SDR for everything.
how much harder is it to drive games at 1440p ultra wide compared to 1440p 16:9 and 4k 16:9?
I'm more curious on how did he get destiny 1 running on PC or am I just really out of the loop that I didnt know it was a thing.
Height adjustment is surprisingly important for your health
