You mean properties in OBS right? It is on the right resolution. It also is on the right screen (screen 1). I have a option to pick between both monitors 1 or 2. Resolution doesn't really matter. If the resolution is to set to 1920x1080 on my 1440p monitor it will just be to zoomed in. It shows a black screen sometimes and sometimes will show the first frame when I open OBS on my desktop of the monitor (screen 1) but won't refresh the frames, but will still show my mouse moving. Its not my pc because it works on my other screen. There is no flickering or anything like that when I play or leave the monitor on. The only problem I'm having with it is capturing the screen. When I choose my other monitor it works prefect. But there are black bars when you stream to twitch with a 34inch and I don't want to game on it. Like I said it's mounted above the other so its already a weird angle. I forgot to mention I got a capture card to see if it would capture when I record from the Elgort software and that didn't work. Also when I stream with discord in a server monitor 1 will flicker to the viewers and will be very washed out. But when I capture screen 2 nothing is wrong. I've tried unplugging the other monitor when doing this to, to see if it made any type of change. That's why I think its some weird defect in the monitor. I've been researching on reddit and all over the web for weeks and can't find any solutions from other problems similar to this.

Hi folks I recently bought the AW2721D dell monitor. Everything's working well with my system when I game and do other task. When I go to lunch OBS it shows a blank screen. Sometimes it will show my desktop with my mouse moving around, but when I go to lunch a game it will still show my desktop like it's stuck on the same frame from where it lunched from. For instance even when on my desktop when it rarely shares a display.. I mean rarely because it hardly ever shows anything besides a black screen it will show my desktop. I will go to move a shortcut around with my mouse on my desktop. It will show my mouse moving across the screen while I have a icon clicked moving, but I doesn't show the icon. It shows the icon still at the same place. Like I said it seems to be stuck on the same frame, but it will still show my mouse moving about. I have set OBS to lunch as administrator every time. I have switch display ports on GPU along with trying a HDMI cable. I have tried lowering my refresh rate from 240hz all the way to 60hz. I've tried disabling G-Sync. Uninstalling OBS. Trying Stream Labs. Driver updates for the monitor. Installing Alienware software. Uninstalling Alienware software. Resting my monitor to factory. Calling Alienware tech support for 2hours. I've unplug my other monitor to see if that was a issue too. The only thing I haven't done is smashed it with a baseball bat. I have a second monitor that works perfectly fine with OBS on the same setup. So I know its not my PC or Drivers. I have the AW3420DW pretty much the same monitor. Everything works good with OBS and Gaming... I don't want to stream or game on a 34inch, It doesn't feel right to me. I got it for workstation. Its mounted above my 27 inch that I got for gaming/streaming. I called Amazon to get a exchange started, but it's past the 30 day window so it has to be authorized by a supervisor. Not sure If I will be able to exchange it or not. Might have to buy another one and send the one I have back on a new return:) Has anyone had any issues like this? Anything else I could try or is it defective?

I'm going for the 5900x seeing benchmarks get the same fps on almost most games @ 1440p ultra graphics Rendering videos and photoshop should be the only thing I use besides obs. I just needed some clarification about the whole streaming thing. I don't mind the rendering time difference. If it isn't a big difference.

I have one desktop, planning on gaming and streaming on the same build. Should I pair the 5900x or the 5950x cpu with my 3090 gpu? The only other programs are really use is Photoshop, Adobe after effects, some other video editing software.

Alright cool decided to go with https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08LR145ZY/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Wish I got this one a day ago i would have saved a extra $150 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07KGR784M/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hopefully my second pick was good. I did do some research on it for a while. Might get a 4k monitor in the future to see if it's rescale well with the other two. Happy holidays man!

Thoughts on a 4k monitor and resizing issues? Would it cause issues pairing the LG 4k UL monitor with the 1440p dell monitor?

I don't really like curved monitors. The Dell is only $100 more then the g7 right now being that it's $600 off the retail price. I just need a workstation monitor on the side that's also a 27" Dell monitor. Something that would give me the best color calibration and the top of the line HDR display. If rescaling a 4k monitor to a 1440p monitors isn't still a issue I'd much rather get a 4k dell. Thanks

I have the Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor - AW2721D (Latest Model) - 240H for my main gaming monitor. I would like a secondary monitor for my workstation use, a 27" Dell specifically. Something that give a great color calibration out of the box from factory. Looking for good display HDR I've heard that 4K monitors don't go well with 1440p monitors atm, due to some resizing display issues with windows. If that's not the case then a 4k monitor I think would be my best choice for a workstation screen, I just need advice in what to choice. Budget is $700. I'd prefer something more then 60hz, but if not then I'm fine with that, only because it's only for my workstation usage.

Yeah that's a great monitor. I just can't game on such a big screen. Would be great for a workstation though. Im only getting one Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor - AW2721D (Latest Model) - 240H for my main gaming monitor. I would like a secondary monitor for my workstation use, a 27" Dell specifically. Something that give a great color calibration out of the box from factory. Looking for good display HDR I've heard that 4K monitors don't go well with 1440p monitors atm, due to some resizing display issues with windows.

I appreciate all the help, making me rethink the 4k monitors. I think I'm going to get these and place my back order https://www.amazon.com/Alienware-Gaming-Monitor-DisplayHDR-Certification/dp/B08LR145ZY

Lol okay So the msi would be your top pick at 2k for gaming? My only question before buying two of those monitors is, is there a software you can download to calibrate the colors or do you need that special tool? And is it difficult to do? I'm watching this video review on youtube around the 14:45 mark he talks about gama and how it's incorrect. Any thoughts on that? https://youtu.be/i3X3yFh0-gE

So the UL is the best option? Would make the most sense. Can you not tell a difference fr 2k to 4k? I'm more looking for workloads for these two monitors and the 850 series was the best I could find in 4k. I was planning on getting a lg g950 for gaming when they restock them on Amazon or wait tell next year when more 4k 144hz are mass produced and cheaper. That MSI monitor doesn't have the best reviews

What monitor would you get out of those three? The UL is $420 on amazon The UN is $450 on amazon The UK is $450 on amazon You said that the color fades over years, so would it be worth getting the UL. If needed I could get the calibration tool to correct the colors when they start to fade? I assume it will take a years maybe for the colors to fade, even if you are looking for perfect color representation. And just for basic design and gaming I shouldn't even notice anything, like you said. If you have any recommendations of 4k 27" monitors that are around the same price, please recommend them, but these are the best ones I could find.

Alright great. I don't really understand what you mean by automatic color calibration tool, is it a software that I would use to calibrate the colors for the UL model? Wod that mean that the UL model doesn't come calibrated from factory and you have to use a tool? Would it be beneficial to get the UL and calibrate it myself over the UN model just having factory calibrations?

Do you know much about monitors? I'm looking for a set of two for design and some gaming. I'll most likely get a specific one just for gaming at some point. Here are a few I'm looking at, can't find any differences between them and reddit is doing no justice. So I'm thinking about going with the ul beacuse it will save some money, but if the other's are better I'd rather pay for it. Lg 27ul850-w vs 27un850-w vs 27UK850-w
