I finally saw my first OLED today at Best Buy playing a rolling demo video, and well, I was very underwhelmed. It was a Alienware AW3423DWF and the black levels on it seemed now where near as dark as the blacks on the adjacent monitors, the screen was dull looking, and over all I didn't seen...

RESOLVED! I went back to RDR2 this evening and turned off every graphics setting one by one as Pendragon had suggested. I didn't realize that some required restarting the game. Anyways, if anyone else ever runs into this problem, running Parallax Mapping at Ultra setting causes the issue! As...

Spent the last three hours playing Alan Wake 2 at 4k with everything maxed out including full raytracing and frame gen. Consistent 100+ FPS and zero artifacts. Just so strange that I'm having issues with those two games. I'm sure that if I did RMA my card, ASUS would likely use one of the...

No, I had forgotten about my sig and that was very outdated. Have since changed. I also just tried a different displayport cable and the HDMI input and the problem persists with both. I also tried disabling G-sync and set a fixed refresh rate of 60Hz and this did not help things either. I did...

The only bios update for this particular card is a fix to enable ECC which users say is needed for pro apps.

Ran DDU and did a clean of all past Nvidia related software, and the problem still persists. :(

No, I haven't actually. I will give that a try right now though. Thanks.

While looking for possible fixes or others with the same problem, it seems that some people running the "render resolution" setting at anything other than 100% saw similar artifacts. Things I have tried in game, enabling and disabling DLSS, AMD Fidelity, TSAA, MSAA, FXAA, and the artifacts show...

I did try lowering the in game settings in RDR2, and even at the low preset the artifacts persist. In Control, it is quite strange as I can run 4k with everything maxed out artifact free until I enable AA or DLSS which cause the square artifacts to appear again. In Control, running the lowest...

Just an update: I was replaying Red Dead Redemption 2 and found I have the same dithered / checkered squares that float over the display regardless of graphics settings. :( Things I have tried: Reverting back to the earlier 530 series drivers, under-volting my 4090, installing the Asus GPU Tweak...

I was more interested in the characteristics of the new Fast HVA panel tech TCL is using in the displays, as the 34" and 27" are both advertised with the same HDR 1600 specs. If anything, the 27" should have even better local dimming with the same amount of dimming zones and a smaller display...

So even though TCL support says their new 27" and 34" panels don't exist, users on Reddit are starting to post their reviews of their units and they sound very positive! A good thread here. In summary - excellent brightness, fantastic colors, local dimming that works great. A good thread here...

Despite TCL escalated support department confirming what I was told on the phone, reaffirming that the product pages for the new 27" and 34" are in error and that the company has no plans to enter the PC peripheral market, the product manuals for the two monitors have been posted online. After...

And that $1999 5080 will still have 16GB of memory. Just watch. lol

Thanks for the link SoCali! That is concerning, especially as all the TV tested had their panel saving features enabled. I guess time will tell if the 3rd gen QD-OLED show any improvement in longevity.

Is anyone using these OLED's for productivity work? I know in the Reddit forums so many people say they are for gaming only, and to stay away as if you do any sort of work with static UI elements you will get burn in, but checking the accounts of the users saying this it appears that almost none...

I'm not sure what the heck is going on with the TCL monitor, but two customer service reps have now told me they that the webpages for the new HVA monitors are in error and they have no plans of releasing any PC peripherals. I've even sent emails to their main support asking for clarification...

I like how active the MSI reps are on Reddit! Always a good sign.

This one sounds promising too. The Hisense 27G7K-PRO. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Hisense-27G7K-PRO-4K-160-Hz-gaming-monitor-debuts-with-1-152-dimming-zones.828730.0.html

Nope. Even TCL seems to have no idea when it is going to be released in North America. Apparently French retailers have the 34" display listed for sale for 1100 Euros.

Another review of the Chinese branded Thunderbird 雷鸟U8 using the same panel. Their conclusion? The best 4k monitor currently on market. I'm relieved to see that the HVA panel seems to have addressed the smearing typically associated with VA panels. Excited about this one, I just wish there was...

I tried installing the Epic Store version I owned as well, and it has the same issues. Strangely, if you run the game in DX11, the artifacts show as white boxes. Same thing, runs fine with MSAA or DLSS off, but glitches with these features enabled. As everything else seems to be running great...

As mentioned in my OP, it is the GamePass version.

I I just read through the Steam forums, and it seams that others are having visual glitches with MSAA or DLSS enabled when running DX12. The Gamepass option doesn't give an option which render to use, but maybe it defaults to DX12? Anyways, I'm not going to worry too much as it seems like...

Corsair cable worked like a charm and everything seems to be working great. Just need to print off a support brace for the card as the included one was too tall for my chasis.

Hey guys! Finally got my 4090 installed and wow, what an upgrade from my old 3070!! Anyways, everything seems stable and runs great except for one game I've tried - Control. It doesn't matter if I have raytracing enabled or disabled, or have high or low settings, as soon as I enable DLSS or...

Hopefully we see some benchmarks soon from the TCL unit. My interest is certainly piqued.

The 2182 maximum nits It was on one of the Chinese review sites that tested the maximum peak brightness at different window sizes. I'll see if I can find the page again, but it had a chart going from 100% to 50% window size I believe. When searching for reviews, google this: 雷鸟U8 评论 and it...

Found out on Reddit the Chinese version of the TCL 27" has been released and reviews are up. It is called the 雷鸟U8 and has the same bezel stand / and panel as the TCL 27" 4k unit. Reviews seem great! Black blacks. Little to no haloing with the HVA panel using local dimming. Vibrant color and...

Awesome! Thanks! I might do the hair blower trick to soften the cable up slightly and then attempt the bend. Wish me luck!

I sent them a message and am hoping I hear back from them soon. From what I've read on their forums, it sounds like the split 6+2 cables are good to go for 300 watts each. Just need to confirm with Corsair.

I had actually looked at that earlier, but my huge ass Noctua cooler goes right to the top of the 4090 card so there is no room for the cable to return along the top of the card. Everything in build is just too damn big! Haha

So I picked up a 4090 and went to install today running into a few issues. I have a Corsair RM1000X power supply which was previously connected to a 3070 using two split 6+2 connectors running from two separate rails on the power supply. As such, I had planned on using the included 4 x 8 pin to...

OMG, and it's semi glossy too! Happy happy joy joy! I've found my new monitor! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5e1mOSCiBg

This one seems to check all the boxes! The TCL 27R83U. Likely just marketing speak, but they are claiming this is a QD-MiniLED integrating technology from OLED panels into a MiniLED display. I'd definitely take that with a grain of salt, but will be interesting to see some reviews...

That's my concern too! I'm using a Aorus FI-27QP currently, and according to reviews it hits a peak brightness of about 400 nits. I run it at 50% brightness though, and according to other review sites this puts it at 250 - 275 nits which is in the same ballpark as the current crop of OLED...

I just saw one of these at my local computer store and what a beautiful display! Reminds me of the my old CRTs. I know it is not recommended, but is anyone using one of these for productivity work? I honestly didn't notice any issues with text on the display model, and from what I've read they...

SoCali - I was looking at that display but several Reddit users reported having to return the panel as the anti-glare coating is so aggressive it made it text difficult to read. Pity more panel manufacturers don't offer a clear, glossy display!

Thanks, and yes I had read through that thread. Seems like if a person is looking for a new Mini-LED with local dimming from a major manufacturer that 32" seems to be the only new options. Too bad as like I said 32" just seems physically too big for my own liking. Dough seems to have a 27"...

I've been having a hard time trying to find a 4K panel upgrade for my graphics workstation / gaming box. I would like to go with Mini-LED as I don't want to have to worry about the burn in associated with OLED displays. I did have a look at some newer 32" displays, and I honestly think they...
