  1. LCD: TN is the fastest LCD technology and will deliver the clearest moving pictures, at the expense of everything else. VA is the slowest LCD technology, but will typically deliver the best contrast, meaning deeper blacks. Color performance is better than TN, but not as good as IPS. IPS is in the middle in terms of response times, has the best color performance and viewing angles, but contrast is still as bad as TN. This is typically the best allrounder technology for gaming monitors. Any LCD monitor needs an FALD (full-array-local-dimming) backlight to properly support HDR. The use of FALD muddies the waters, since an IPS with this feature will outperform a VA in terms of contrast, whereas it previously couldn't. OLED: WOLED is the conventional mass-market OLED tech also used in most OLED TVs. Speed and image quality is better than any LCD technology, plus they have good HDR by default but they're more expensive and come with the risk of burn-in depending on your use case. QD-OLED has the same advantages of WOLED, but even better color saturation at the expense of raised black levels with lots of ambient light around. So far they also seem to be slightly more susceptible to burn-in compared to WOLED. But this technology is also the newest, so long-term user reviews are still few and far betwen.
  2. Most startups that use crowd funding aren't reputable established brands. That's why they use Kickstarter to get money instead of their own.
  3. You can run practically any resolution under your native resolution. I have yet to see a 4K monitor that cannot do 1600p, 1440p 1080p 720p, 768p, etc. And since there are very limited use cases for running non-native other than more fps in games, I'd don't see a point in every monitor having hundreds of supported resolutions and refresh rates on their spec sheets. The biggest impact on how these resolutions are displayed is probably the scaling setting in your GPU driver.
  4. The LG C-series OLED TVs are bascially as good as it gets for a gaming TV. So currently the C3, in a few months the C4 will probably also come out, meaning you'll either get a better TV for the same price or a discount on the last-gen C3.
  5. Tbh this support Email seems like a scam again. Asking for 3rd party game keys isn't something I'd think official Valve support would do. There is also an account specific Steam recovery key that is supposed to be the last bastion of saving an account if someone else breached it. They show it to you when you set up the 2FA.
  6. I feel like the overhead shouldn't be on the consumer. I pay for 300/50 and get 315/55 most of the time. No consumer is ever gonna bother customer service when they get an extra 15 mbps, but customers will certainly bother support if they get 15 mbps too little.
  7. Without having physical access to your phone they shouldn't be able to bypass Steam Guard. Even if they don't physically have your phone, they need access to your phone number and it's received messages to get rid of Steam Guard. The login from Russia might not mean much, could be a VPN location after all. So if you didn't give your phone to someone else recently, I'm puzzled how they bypassed 2FA.
  8. If you never had a G-Sync monitor before, these settings should help you dial them in: G-SYNC 101: Optimal G-SYNC Settings & Conclusion | Blur Busters Other than that, just pick whatever settings look best to you. "Best settings" don't really exist, what you mean is probably "most accurate" in which case use the out of the box settings, as this monitor already has very good color accuracity. Use Peak 1000 for the best HDR experience. For more Info on the monitor you can watch this video: Also, you should probably disable Dolby Vision until Microsoft fixes the Windows implementation, as mentioned in the video.
  9. The anti reflective coating can make a huge difference in terms of black levels, maybe your laptop has a glossy display coating, or at least a less gainy one. LG typically has very grainy coatings, which do a great job at diffusing reflections, but will make it look worse in dark environments.
  10. You could ask for a replacement, but really any IPS monitor will look bad in such lighting conditions, as they simply don't have enough contrast to get to deep blacks. It's not surprising that your VA monitor on the right looks significantly better in a pitch black room.
  11. 2-3% faster than the regular 14900K under "optimal conditions", whatever that means. Still not as fast in games as the 7800X3D though.
  12. If I understand your question correctly, the answer is that it's currently not possible to reproduce true-to-life images using a TV. Some TVs get closer than others, but even TVs costing upwards of £3000 need to improve significantly to achieve that. Technically, not even a display capable of meeting the highest HDR mastering standard of 10.000 nits of brightness can offer an image that's as lifelike as the real thing, since some objects in real life are significantly brighter. There are currently no consumer displays that can even come close to this level of brightness.
  13. When going curved, you're looking at VA panels, which are worse for gaming than the flat IPS monitors. I'd suggest watching this video, specifically the frist <$300 section.
  14. It looks like there is some color hue setting activated. But if you already checked all the settings, it's probably some control board going bad.
  15. If you want basically the same experience, but in a 4K 16:9 format, then you can go for one of these:
