How do you use volume?

[@damians566]

what do you recommend for monitor now? i need 34/32 4k with 90 power delivery

[@demege21]

Do you know if it works with G-Sync, on official specs is only AMD Free Sync compatible, not sure if is something to consider or not really?

[@flutek891]

When KTC M32P10 will be available to buy? We all are waiting in Europe.

[@shonking35]

Any updates on the hp omen transcend 32 im hyped for that monitor

[@ghosting3961]

hi, do you know what total system latency the aoc c27g2u has? i am thinking about getting this monitor or the innocn 32m2v but i don't know how bad it will be in comparison

[@dokkebix]

can you review the INNOCN 34M1R please? :)

Once I heard 16 EDGE-LIT Zones I turned the video off.

[@KeepAnOpenMind]

It is the same hdr as not having 16 zones lol.

Wait why? What does that mean?

Should work perfectly for that. They've also dropped the price $70

Kupiłem go wczoraj za 2999 zł. A dopiero dzisiaj obejrzałem twój film. Mimo wszystko mam nadzieję że się nie zawiodę. 😂

The backlight bleed you are seeing is ips glow. The worst con of ips in my book

[@sevbait]

16 edge lit zones 😢

[@PoRRasturvaT]

At that point just give up HDR and make sure the monitor has at least motion performance going for it.

[@thedisplayguy]

This monitor would be far worse without HDR as you would be limited entirely to sRGB. Basically all you get with HDR on an edge lit panel is a wider color gamut, brighter display, and some other quality guarantees, which is significantly better, but is entirely outclassed by 500-1000 zone Mini LED.
It all comes down to price.

[@ByteExplorer]

@@thedisplayguy would you recommend the innocn 32m2v2 over this?

[@davidkahil5158]

I picked up one for 385.00, so I think maybe at that price point will work

Can we stop calling edge-lit monitors HDR?
