Final update: new cable works, so either USB-c to dp1.4 or HDMI 4k144hz works to resolve issues with the monitor if the normal HDMI output somehow causes weird colors to appear.

I had a quick look thinking the same thing, but quickly realized it was a rabbit hole I could spend hours in. I've ordered a usb-c cable to 4k/144hz HDMI cable now. Will try that out and return the DP 1.4 one if it does (sorry mother earth).

Update: The USB-C to DisplayPort cable works. 144hz, 4k, no artifacts. Only issue now is that I thought I had more than 1 DisplayPort input with my monitor pg38uq, but I don't. I just ordered the PNY 4080 Verto GPU which only has one HDMI out, which I plan to use for another older monitor...

Thanks, I will try this.

Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G4 IAP Yes, yes and I have trivex. I switched to Essilor lenses about 7 years ago. It's like having 8k IPS glasses when I previously was using HD TN ones. But like I said in my OP: with my desktop GPU via HDMI, no artifacts. with my laptop via HDMI, artifacts. Hooking the...

Thanks for the tips. I tried multiple settings in addition to those you suggested. I think the issue lies in the laptop, not the monitor. Maybe I'm missing a driver or something. I'll update if I manage to fix the issue, for the next person having a similar issue.

So I got a new 4k ips monitor (asus pg38uq). Using my personal desktop with a RX 6600 GPU, I have no issues via HDMI or DP. It's a great work/gaming hybrid, and jumping from the benq pd3200u is a noticeable upgrade. However, when I hook up my work-supplied laptop via HDMI, I get weird color...

I didn't realize it took AA batteries. Unfortunately it remains difficult for me to find it on sale where I live. I might pick it up next time I visit the US. It seems quite a bit cheaper there than here.

Thanks for all the feedback so far! So, first impressions of the G502 X. The good: Light weight, good silicone cable (lots of people moaning it's not braided, but I actually prefer silicone over braid - easy to clean and doesn't fray). Excellent button placements and feel. Really love the...

I ordered the G502 X last night. It should arrive today. What sold me were the two additional left mouse buttons that I can bind to skills, etc. A close second was the Razer Basilisk V3. The G604 looks great too. I might order this if I don't take to the 502 X. I definitely prefer its softer...

Just like for many, the Logitech MX518 was my favorite mouse. Unfortunately, mine no longer works. It was just the right size for me. I can't seem to find the reincarnation in my country either. I replaced it with the Mionix NAOS 7000, which was okay but unfortunately stopped working. I've...

Thanks for the tip on the software, I'll check it out. Also thanks for reminding me to relisten to that album. Yeah, I noticed this with my photos. In the end I used camera model and date, down to the second to ensure uniqueness (in the case of burst photography, I reckon some were lost, but...

For my and similar use cases where energy is a significant factor, the 4080's value proposition over it's lifetime is actually in line with the rest of the lineup and better value than the 30 series. It's only when you exclude efficiency or your energy is negligibly cheap that it stands out as a...

Yes, price/performance/efficiency with 16 GB+ of VRAM points to the 4080/4090. The issue is they cost a quarter black-market kidney. I'm hoping things look better in 6 - 12 months, though I may eat my words if humanity decides to collectively burn a mid-sized country's annual energy budget...

Like usual, I made a quick spreadsheet to estimate costs. A delta of 200 watts is worth around 200 euros per year, assuming 4 hours of intensive use, 5 days per week, 52 weeks per year. This is on the high side of usage. In reality, my intensive usage might be half that. Over the life of of a...
