For what it's worth, I don't recall ever having turned mine on more than once to get it to display the signal from my 3080. When my PC is cold booted it does take a while before it picks up the signal. Longer than my 27" secondary monitor. As far as the cable goes it's not the wiring but the...

Local Dimming I don't use it anymore. It's completely useless on this monitor once you know the problem it causes. The zones dim too readily, dimming entire scenes constantly, drastically reducing contrast within each zone itself, making scenes darker than they should be with a subdued, veiled...

Does it seem to randomly drop the signal during use or does it only happen when you turn it on / wake it up from sleep? Mine seemed to randomly drop the signal during use, requiring a monitor power cycle to get it back. It was the Spotify website. See attached pic. It was fixed after disabling...

For the record, I have the ULMB option in 516.94.

Came here looking for info on firmware version F07. Didn't find any, instead I see a bunch of people very confused about what they're looking at. It's really simple. What you're looking at here is simply VA dark smearing due to slow pixel response for dark transitions. The reason it gets worse...

It's there, trust me, and I'll prove it to you with your own G7 and bet my life's savings on it, that it stutters with VRR Control enabled. A lot of customers are mad at Samsung specifically because "VRR Control" is not a fix, it's a mockery. It replaces flicker with microstutter. Samsung didn't...

It makes sense when you consider that mouse & kb don't require USB3's bandwidth, and it's a "kvm" feature, as in meant for keyboard, video and mouse. So if it's cheaper to have USB2 KVM-capable interfaces than USB3 ones, they're going to cut that cost. If you have an external HDD attached to a...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the QN90 and FV43U anyway. Edit: Here's a youtube video comparing QN90A and QN90B. Here's another, 90B has improved local dimming, game mode included.

I intentionally put the exact product names in the title that the thread is about comparing: QN90A, QN90B and FV43U. All three are LCD. If anyone is not yet sure if they want LCD or an alternative technology, this QN90 vs FV43U thread is not the place to discuss that, nor the place to discuss...

IMO as far as red ghosting goes in shooters it's not really noticeable. It stands out most when things move left or right across the screen, as in: panning. Turning the camera around in a shooter doesn't really do that (spins everything around your viewpoint), neither does walking / running...

Meanwhile, QN90B RTINGS review went up: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/qn90b-qled

Oh I hadn't noticed he wrote in the comments: " I think it comes from the camera which films in 60 fps a screen going from 144 fps. " He's unsure and I don't believe his assumption because to accept it, someone would have to explain to me how a frame rate difference could cause a change in...

It's going to sound weird because it's marketed as a gaming monitor but I agree for mixed use if you're not playing games several days a week for hours at a time, and it's not the main priority. The ghosting is not as likely to bother you in that case. Same if you're going to be distancing...

You're welcome Vorpel. ;) RTINGS are working on their QN90B review, won't be long before it goes up. One thing I want to point out with regard to PC usage is that if you're like me and you're going to play games on it and don't expect to be able to run every current and future title at native...

Speaking from first hand experience with VA panels, no it is not inherent to VA. Only some VA panels do this. And it's really, really bad on my FV43U. :cry: Edit: That Amazon review is great so I'll put it here: The Polish review doesn't teach us much new information. They did measure...

So pedantic. You are talking to an IT professional with a career spanning multiple decades and 30 years of combined Commodore64, MSX, Atari, Amiga, and PC gaming experience, who has used countless monitors in his lifetime starting with monochrome. Do not lecture me. You think I need to be...

Here's a video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mepka6pgn3hymvr/VID_20220430_150324.mp4?dl=1 From 0:11 until 0:14, when red appears while the image appears to not be moving, it's actually moving and I am moving the phone along with it. Gives you a clearer view of the red outlines- much less clear than...

After dialing down the red saturation to the point that that rockface in Blades of the Shogun no longer looks warm but more gray brown instead and the game overall looks even a touch cool and green, the red trailing is merely recuded, not removed. Basically all content gets red trails, not just...

It's annoying.... can't unsee it in every game I try. If both the Iiyama (as I noticed in that french review youtube video) and the FV43U do this, then all 43" BGR VA's likely do it. And by "it" I mean dark smearing that becomes red / magenta. I'ts like the red subpixels are slower than the...

Yeah, thanks. It doesn't look exactly like in the photo in reality does it, but those are better pics than my phone was able to make. On photos it shows as seperate overlaid frames, in reality it's more continuous but the red edges are there. I'm not sure if I should be happy that it's not just...

Does the image not become more red (mostly next to edges of shadows and rocks) while you drag it around your screen? On mine almost the whole image turns more red when it moves. Just drag the whole browser window around.

It's best to check it out for yourself, but here's a test screenshot from the start of mission 1 in the demo of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. Drag it across your screen to see red ghosting. If your red saturation is on its default of 50 in 6-axis color, it should be quite severe. I...

Can you guys check something for me, please? Grab the Gas Station Simulator demo from Steam. I get red ghosting trails in other games as well but this game has a specific spot that reveals it perfectly. Does your monitor do it too? Run the game in the following way: G-sync enabled HDR in...

Is anyone else getting red ghosting, typically next to brown objects like tree trunks and wooden furniture? And are you unable to get rid of it, like I am? Changing overdrive settings or refresh rate/fps doesn't affect it, the red ghosting always remains. Unlike regular dark smearing and regular...

In broad terms I agree with your point so I've removed from my previous post the tier list format I suggested. It's probably more useful to only compare directly within the same category of the 5 you just mentioned the specific displays one is interested in. I'm aware of the categories and their...

Perhaps we ought to make a little tier list then. EDIT: not my best idea ever, suggestion for tier list format removed from this post.

Let me borrow it for a month and you'll see. :D Regardless, it's not as if burn-in is OLEDs only problem. They're not suitable for gaming (VRR gamma flicker) nor as monitors (PWM and a mirror finish). They are made specifically for one use case: entertainment watching in the evening. To get that...

Nvidia scaling and HDR are mutually exclusive(*). For 3840x1600 the goal is to not scale. * Nvcp custom resolutions and HDR are also mutually exclusive, unless after creating 3840x1600 in nvcp the resolution is switched to by Windows' settings UI not nvcp itself and the resolution has to be...

I just noticed it can't display a 3840x1600 signal. It'll display a 3840x1600 desktop, that's because the GPU sends a 4K signal with black bars included. But when a game sets a 3840x1600 exclusive fullscreen mode, the monitor instead of adding the missing black bars, simply goes black and the...

Unless the process of updating the firmware entailed something that fixed it rather than the firmware itself fixing it, the only thing I can think of is that I went straight from F02 to F06 and you did not. New firmware for hardware replaces previous firmware rather than patching it, so skipping...

It really depends on the game, what AA options you have available, if you want to use those or not, and how blurry or not they are. I only just figured this out and I've had the panel for only a week now so I can't give you a recommentation on this. Other than, it's generally not a good idea to...

For desktop, sure. For dark SDR games in my experience VA static contrast still leaves quite a lot to be desired. (I'm talking FV43U, measured 4600:1 by RTINGS. Manufacturer's spec 4000:1, very high by VA standards). Beats IPS obviously but still makes me pick between having deep blacks or...

For me personally that depends on whether QD-OLED burns in when used as a PC monitor. I suspect it will, at least for my use case. It'd just take a little longer. True that. Until the number of zones is increased significantly to at least, say, 1/9th of the total number of pixels (3x3 pixel...

Why I don't believe in the concept of FALD I've never owned a panel with lots of dimming zones so this is mostly theory but I don't believe in FALD. I'll explain why in technical terms shortly, but the broader perspective is that it is an attempt to somehow get around the hard fact contrast...

Very rare exceptions playing esports for money apply where people care only about lowest possible input delay and not about smoothness, but gaming should generally be done in g-sync mode. Or v-sync because those are the only 2 ways to get 100% smoothness. V-sync adds unnecessary inputlag, while...

I used UFO test and games to determine optimal OD (overdrive) settings at various refresh rates. Hz Optimal OD Setting OD Setting Result 60 Off (bad either way) PQ X no black smear, lots of overshoot. More jarring than Off. Off X lots of black smear, no overshoot. Much worse motion...

Correction: where were they going for that price - it was €699 for only 7 days. Glad I got one then. Turns out I was right: it was indeed some of their last stock, they no longer have the product listed on their website. Best price in the country is now €999. I saved a whopping 300 on it! I...

It's not an issue in actual usage. You don't notice when you're actually focused on playing the game. If the player has decided that any ghosting is going to annoy them, then they can probably find some to be annoyed about. The bit of ghosting is worth having and ignoring in exchange for the...

That's weird. The issue never shows up right in the middle though, the selected file needs to be off to the side a bit. It's there on mine even at 150% scaling. Also shows up in application menus like these: (screenshot for quick testing, not a photo to show the issue, which is very similar to...

Thanks for testing it with HDMI. I am on F06, so firmware does not fix it. I tried DP Ycbcr 4:4:4, didn't make any difference either. Even the resolution doesn't matter, it does it even at 2560x1440 unscaled at 144Hz. So I conclude that only reducing the refresh rate to 120Hz fixes it. Which is...
