Wish I had this video before buying my OLED..The biggest issue I've had was that alt tabbing in exclusive fullscreen games. Fortunately, and unfortunately, I can send it in for a firmware update that lets me disable DSC. However it has to be sent in first for an update before I can even update it myself. Really don't feel up to sending it.
Right there with you mate, I have the Samsung G6 OLED (2024) its what prompted me to make this, as if i had known about it ahead of time, i am not sure i would have gone with it. I did get it on sale but still. Hopefully someone sees it before buying and saves the pain you and I have had.
Hey mate, Acer seem to be the easiest choice. Going by manufacture is best, if they include the option to disable DSC on one monitor its a safe bet they will do it for all. If you are looking at a specific monitor to buy, goto the product page > support > download the user manaul, control + f and type 'DSC'. As an example, Acer XV275K P3 - Can disable DSC - A screenshot is shown in the user guide on how to do it. Acer Predator X27U - Can disable DSC - A screenshot is shown in the user guide on how to do it. MSI MAG 271QPX - Cant disable DSC - No mention of DSC in the user guide. Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q3 - Cant disable DSC - No mention of DSC in the user guide. ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQN - Cant disable DSC - No mention of DSC in the user guide. Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 - Cant disable DSC - confusingly it mentiones in the user guide "when DSC mode is enabled" but there is no option to disable it (i have this screen and have reached out to samsung on this) Keep in mind, that some screens wont mention DSC, but once you drop the screen to a low enough refresh rate it will 'auto disable' DSC. so those are hard to confirm as you have to rely on either reviewers noticing it or someone online who already owns the monitor to confirm.
More people have to know this, nice vid!
@@Greenalex89 thats what i was thinkin, thanks mate!

Any recommendations for monitors to avoid this issue?
