please talk me out of buying a curved monitor. i feel that a week will pass and i'll realize what a mistake this purchase was. what are good alternatives to odyssey g7 with gsync, high refresh rate and adjustability are?

>terrible black eq
>no vibrance setting
>dark as frick va
acer 390hz if you gonna tryhard fps else buy an OLED lg tv
peace out bye
I love my G7
Haven't had any issues with it
Looks nice as frick
You actually don't even notice the curve after a day. I use mine for work 95% of the time and you actually don't even notice it.
I have a g7 and I like it
As long as you're not an artist, photographer, or any type of content producer, it should be fine. Was cross shopping this or the 27gn950 on release and ended up getting the gn950. Kinda worthless if you don't have a 3080/6800+ though.
If you go by rtings reviews the alienware QD OLED averages like 9/10 on every metric while the 2nd best miniled lcd hovers around 8.3 while being more expensive.
Just guy the QD OLED and skip the lcd garbage.
Do they mention the non-standard subpixel layout that gives you color fringes around straight lines and text with "normal" window rendering (no alternative exists)?
>The Dell AW3423DW is excellent overall. It's excellent for gaming because it has a high refresh rate with variable refresh rate support, a near-instantaneous response time, and low input lag. It's also fantastic for dark room gaming or for watching movies in the dark, thanks to the near-infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity. It's good for office use and fantastic for content creators thanks to the large screen, but it has some issues with its text clarity, and it doesn't perform as well in bright rooms because reflections raise the black levels.
On text clarity
>Overall, the Dell AW3423DW has decent text clarity. It uses a unique triangular RGB subpixel structure different from most displays with the three subpixels in a line. Because of this, text clarity isn't as good as on other ultrawide displays. Windows ClearType (top photo) doesn't improve the text clarity much. You can see two other examples with the camera zoomed out with ClearType on and ClearType off. While this subpixel structure isn't ideal, it's not a serious issue, either, and text is clear and easy to read for the most part. The free utility Better ClearType Tuner improves text clarity significantly, and the subpixel structure isn't noticeable with Font Antialiasing set to 'RGB' and Contrast set between 1800-2200, as shown here
>However, due to the subpixel structure, there's slight color fringing on the edge of windows. If you have multiple windows open, you can see a thin green line at the top of every window and a thin red line at the bottom, but it's not very noticeable. Below you can see pixel photos from different configurations:
>The color fringing is also visible with larger text elements, like on the Google home page logo, as you can see here, which is pretty distracting.
Why can't we just have nice things. It seems like QD-OLED would be the perfect panel technology in the current age, but Sony went full moron with their subpixel autism.
*Samsung
The idea might be to have all sub pixels equal distance away from the blue light emitter, and this is the first panel run of said display type.
It's obviously impossible to see on tv viewing distance and only "sub-optimal" for dekstop at times while being irrelevant during gaming.
VA sucks, like really sucks, quite possibly the worst LCD panel available.
Curved panels are an absolute meme unless you're buying an ultrawide (also a meme), and even there, it might as well be a 49" or bigger.
If you're mostly gaming, get an XG2431. It has the best motion performance of any monitor currently on the market. It's mediocre in most other aspects though.
If you want good overall picture quality, except for mediocre motion performance, get an OLED.
Curved displays are a meme, don't bother.
>VA sucks, like really sucks, quite possibly the worst LCD panel available.
TN is worse, but it does suck. LCD in general is a shit stain.
>And this monitor is so fast it's ridiculous.
Lmao. See
You don't know what "fast" looks like.
>TN is worse
A bad TN is worse than VA, but a good TN is better than the best VA.
I do know what fast is the G7 is fast. In fact it is the fasted VA monitor on the planet and one of the fastest monitors money can buy.
The XG2431 has shitty blacks and OLEDs have terrible performance and durability.
You are moronic.
>In fact it is the fastest VA
That's like taking a shit and saying it's the sweetest smelling. It's still shit.
>one of the fastest monitors money can buy.
Frick no. Just because Samsung say it's """1ms""" or whatever doesn't mean that's actually true in the real world. Again, see the pic here
and compare to picrel. If it was actually fast, it wouldn't be a smeary mess. There's dozens of monitors that do better, and the XG2431 is one such monitor that makes it look like a joke.
>The XG2431 has shitty blacks
So does every non-FALD LCD. G7 may be a bit of an improvement by virtue of being VA, but if your goal is good blacks you should be looking at OLED. I guess you can argue VA has a place for providing okay blacks at a cheaper price, but you shouldn't pretend it doesn't come at a severe motion performance pentalty.
>OLEDs have terrible performance and durability.
Not sure what you class as "terrible performance". OLED viewing angles are better, black levels and contrast are better, black uniformity is better, pixel response time is FAR superior.
As for durability, it's rapidly improving. That new Alienware QD-OLED has a 3 year burn-in warranty, and I'm sure they're accounting for people who'd leave static shit on their screen all the time. Use a screensaver and you'll be fine.
Why the frick would you use a screensaver as opposed to just having your monitor display turn off? OLED burn in is caused by OLED usage, it's always smarter to have your display turn off rather than just display random shit.
Yeah, dunno why I said screensaver, you're right that a total screen shut-off is better. Guess it's just CRTs living rent free in my head.
Although technically, a screen saver would still prevent burn-in, just not overall wear. Burn-in is specifically uneven wear that causes permanent image retention.
It actually would not prevent burn in, burn in is caused by OLED use (pixel at X,Y displaying color for N hours). temporarily changing what's being displayed is not going to prevent burn in, it is not like CRT burn in.
How's that any different to phosphor at X,Y being excited for N hours, like on a CRT?
If your screensaver is series of randomly generated patterns, like many screensavers are, then all the pixels on the OLED should be illuminated for about the same amount of time on average and thus wear about evenly. Obviously that'll decrease the life of the screen as a whole but won't cause one area to be worn unevenly or "burned-in".
It's different because they're completely different technologies... in OLEDs, the organic matter degrades with cumulative use. With OLEDs, having the same image on 1 hour over 30 days causes the same degradation as having the same image up for 30 hours. CRTs would have no issue with the 1 hour over 30 days scenario, but would burn into the actual phosphor if you left the same image on for 30 hours statically. For CRTs, it's literally a burn in, for OLEDs, it's degradation.
Interesting, I was always under the impression that CRT burn-in was cumulative as well.
This particular model has poor QC
have one, or similar model and and it's great but
this anon
has a point, mine came with a bad cable, and i had to use a different one
If you're going curved, the only answer is the Odyssey G9. 16:9 has no reason to be curved.
I have the G7 and it's great.
The curve is good and I don't even notice it exists and I use it with other two flat monitors.
And this monitor is so fast it's ridiculous.
All I see in this thread is poorgay cope
Curved monitors on 16:9 is pointless.
i have a crg9 and love it
I have an LG 34GN850 and I regret buying it every day. Mostly because ultrawide is the worst meme I've ever seen, but the curve doesn't help either. Maybe I'm just depressed, but most modern technology just doesn't excite me at all anymore. It's so soulless and cynical, just trying to mash as many useless gamer-sounding features down your throat as possible. It's so non-comfy. I'm considering selling it, but I don't know if monitors are worth anything 2nd hand.
That's funny, I have the LG 34GP83A-B which is basically the same monitor. Mostly using it for productivity (working from home, spreadsheets, etc) and it's great for that. Also looks great for the gaming I do (mainly sims). I went with it rather than two monitors because I hate bezels. If I had a 32:9 monitor instead like a Neo G9, I think that would be too much.
Give it a chance, make sure you have it far enough away from you on your desk.
i got this one, its cheap as hell, works like a beast, is just enough curved, 120hz freesynced
The g8 neo. Curved 32" 4k 240hz.
I'm waiting on this beauty.
What games are you gonna play 4k @ 240hz in? Pong? You're falling for the meme.
Anything with 3080 + dlss
I think the core idea is having 4k screen when you want 4k content + games that require high ppi like civ 5
Then you can run different games at lower res and use 240hz
homie i dont give frick about fricking games. i just want my mouse cursor to be smooth as silk.
you go suck a memes dick.
I got hired at a company, and I would like to buy a better display, how bad is this having into account I don't want to spend more than 400€ on a monitor.
It doesn't have 10bit panel so I'd say its kinda trash.
LG UltraGear 1440p 165Hz. The perfect monitor.
Curved displays have horrible back light, it's so uneven I returned two of those by different manufacturers and will not waste my time on third.
My G9 is the best purchase I've made. Love the real estate, love the refresh rate.
What does IQfy think about Dell S3422DWG? I ordered it today.
Seems fine for a lcd, seems you would have to calibrate it yourself tho since on rtings its real bad color accuracy.
I've no idea how to go about that, I'll look around. thanks.
Theres "model number + recommended settings" you can always google
Prof calibration is too expensive
HDR on monitor is a meme
