    OcUK RTX4070 review thread

    I dunno, currently running a GTX 2070s and have about £4.5k for a new computer - I'm looking at the RTX 4080, and now the 4070, but I'm very underwhelmed by the price/performance. I have not upgraded my PC in about 5 years, but now looking at the current situation I'm thinking of putting the...

    ROG PG43UG - Smearing issue?

    Hi guys, I purchased two G9's and sent them back due to issues: instability of hardware and fisheye. So I purchased the Rog PG43UG monitor, again a lovely monitor that does have issues, ugh. I have managed to sort, to a degree, some BRG font issues, however I have some graphic corruption in...

    I got two G9's, each one had issues, but the screen size and the immersion was beautiful, however most of my games had awful fisheye - these included, WoW, AoW3, Doom, Dawn of Man etc.. In fact most of my games had it in, so with the issues I was experiencing - cracking (two hours after turning...

    PG348Q Upgrade time

    I had two G9's, amazing monitor - unfortunately, the units I got had issues. Furthermore, I should have checked that the games I mostly play are compatible with the ultrawide resolution, they were not. Wow, for example, had bad fisheye and to me personally I could not overlook it. PVP was not...

    This was a post I made a week ago. OC came and got the monitor, then I got an email 4 days later saying their three technicians could not find a thing wrong with the monitor, they each spent a few hours playing Doom Eternal as a test. They didn't specify that they could update the firmware...

    Yes m8, I used the same UBS stick on the previous monitor and it worked fine. All I did was transfer the updated Firmware file over. Very strange!

    Ok, returning my 2nd monitor - for four reasons: 1) Coil whine / buzzing coming out the back, near the onboard PSU. Not particularly loud, but can be heard in a quiet room when I have the brightness up. First monitor never had this. 2) When the monitor is in standby, I can hear a constant...

    Do you have any cracking noises yet ? Trying to find units that, after a weeks worth of intense use, have not got cracking.

    I've yet to see someone (sure there are) say they have not got the cracking sound, I have it right now. If you pinch the sides and/or put pressure on the back panels (without touching the screen obviously) you can replicate this noise - in this instance, it leaves me to believe its a heat issue...

    I used the RPG/RTS preset. After playing wow for 4 hours, on my second day, then turning the monitor off quickly, that's when it started for me. Hope you stay lucky bud!

    "I don't believe everyone you got had issues" What? lol. A strange comment. I'm getting the same issues as others. And where does the "gone threw so many monitors" come from o.0 I have had 2 G9's - the first one had popping/cracking noises and the fish eye appeared particularly bad...

    Mine didn't start until 2 days. But, I can say one thing that apparently hastened the popping noises on my 1st G9. Basically I was playing wow for a good 4 hours, looked beautiful, but had to pop out, so I closed wow down and shut the monitor off within 10 seconds. This is when I first started...

    To be honest, I think a large majority of them have the popping noise. My new (second) G9 does, or rather has just started to do it after 2 days. Even now, after turning it on for an hour I'm getting the popping noise. I went through a number of CRG49's last year that had it constantly in...

    Just got my second G9, the first one had popping/cracking noise. This one has some type of coil whine, buzzing coming out the back. Not sure if it will get annoying, 2 of the CRG49's had it and was too loud. The last N5 I had didn't have any buzzing/whine coming out the back, just had the...

    Jeez, OC shipped me an N5 - that has screen cracking and awful fisheye in my games. I mean, just look at this: https://i.imgur.com/Z9fgffT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bEtyLcF.jpg EDIT: Ok, getting my OC N5 sent back tomorrow. It didn't have any cracking noises for the first 5 days, now it does -...

    I'm getting the cracking sound now when turning on/off. Is this down to the electronics or the plastic heating up? This is one of the reasons why I sent back the CRGs! Strange thing is, for the first week no noise at all, then suddenly started. :Z

    Personally, I would return. For this amount of money you should demand a monitor with no issues. I got 5 CRG49s, each had an issue that made me send it back. Handy links for new monitor testing - most of these are posted in this thread. http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ http://tft.vanity.dk/...

    I got mine from OC, N5 and its perfect! No noise, no bad pixel.. Couldn't be happier! I would give them a call though, as when I called they said they had 65 back orders and thusly this batch was all sold out.

    Hi guys - is anyone else getting the fisheye effect in games? I didn't realize it would be this bad, in practically every game. It's very disappointing to pay out lots of money for a monitor to have games look this bad. Suppose I should have investigated it first. Does this effect anyone...

    Hi guys, is anyone having trouble selected 10bit Colour @ 120hz? I can choose 10 bit @ 120hz when changing colour formats from RGB to YCbCr 422 / YCbCr 444 - but this also changes the Output Dynamic Range to limited. When RGB is selected, I can only choose 8bit. Running 1.4 Display - Latest...
