I tried again to get the monitor to keep working, but having my PC flake out after two days on average, again, really makes me uneasy. This return process is going in circles. I explained it takes time to see the issues crop up, and the associated asked that I test it out for a couple more days. So I’m going to go through with it. I have tried the HDMI connection, but I only have an HDMI 1.2 cable, so it’s stuck at 144Hz. I didn’t experience instability with it connected this way. Which brings me back to my original diagnosis of the displayport.

And each time I have the monitor going for a while, I’m left just wanting one that I know will work. I want to be able to connect it and forget it, to just use it. It’s an excellent product but for this one problem. Granted, it’s a pretty major one. As far as HDMI goes, even at 85Hz, it’s still running at 10 bit (dithering of course) and is very responsive for that slower refresh rate. It’s still like night and day compared to either of my other monitors, which are all connected at this point. Or were, until I went through the whole song and dance of reconnecting them so the LG is connected via displayport again. As it’s caused crashes, boot cycles, or garbled video display four times so far, I’m going to guess it will eventually occur again. We’ll see. I only hope my video card can handle the continued testing. I don’t want to eventually kill it.

As to provide some useful feedback about the monitor in general, I continue to be impressed by the colour accuracy. Even without calibration, it appears very close to my ancient IPS, though more vibrant. I’m sure that’s due to its wider gamut, even with the AMD setting for sRGB emulation. The older monitor probably only covered 97% back when it was new. Though slightly less vibrant, the colour temperature and overall variation of shades, everything look very close. And that monitor has been set up for photography where what I see is very near what I print, with little variation. I look forward to getting this issue taken care of so I can enjoy the LG in the long run. I’m hopeful I can get as many years out of it as I have my previous one. Though 12 years is probably asking a lot.

I wanted to give a quick update.

Issues with the displayport connection remain. So I tried connecting it to my PC through HDMI. This works without issue, however, it also limits you to 100Hz. I have tried limiting the colour to 8-bit, but it doesn’t make a difference. Considering the monitor is a 144Hz model with the option of a 160Hz overclock, being stuck at 100Hz isn’t exactly ideal.

I still stand by my opinion that the monitor is very good. I hope no one else ends up having problems with theirs like I have. I’m despondent over this. I feel like my only option at this point is to return it for a refund. I even considered keeping it with the limitation of using HDMI, but doing that I might as well have gotten a monitor that cost half as much. There’s a big difference between 100Hz and 144Hz in overall feel even in everyday tasks. And as proof my video card in the current computer it’s connected to isn’t the issue, I’ve currently got my two other monitors connected as well. So three monitors of varying refresh rates, the LG with FreeSync enabled, and no problems at all have occurred. Everything is stable, and the monitor doesn’t cause issues involving crashes, video signal loss, or scrambling of the video it displays. It’s so easy to figure out what is wrong by process of elimination, yet explaining this to support personal you’re met with the equivalent of a blank stare. I’ll probably end up returning it to Amazon and see if I can apply my gift code to another product. I’m hopeful that will be returned to me as well. Otherwise I’ll have a double loss on this. If I return it and then purchase a replacement in the hope it will not have any issues, the current price is $50 more than I paid. I am uncertain if this might be why they’re unwilling to return and replace it, seeing as the value is not equivalent. It’s their return policy though.

I’d be interested in seeing what others have to say about this model. Perhaps I’m truly an outlier with rare problems no one else is seeing. I imagine that to be the case. It’s a glorious display. So I hope everyone else has a better experience. I’d also suggest purchasing the extended warranty through Amazon if possible. LG’s 1-year warranty is not good enough when purchasing a monitor at this price point. It’s worth the peace of mind, I’d say. Other manufacturers by and large offer 3-year warranties. I believe Samsung’s is 1-year though. They both should do better.

The last thing I’ll say here before Adam begins trimming my spiel is you probably will be fine buying this monitor. The ultrawide experience is a good one. It’s colour accurate enough to do light photo work without calibration, though professionals will probably want to anyway. It’s brighter than you’ll need it to be, unless you like going blind. I still have it set to 30%. Contrast is good for IPS. I haven’t changed my mind on that. It’s not as good as IPS panels with slower refresh rates though, where as LG seems to have had to compromise in order to get its responsiveness where it is. Unless you’re comparing it to a VA, you probably won’t mind this. I find VA glow to be more intrusive than IPS glow anyway. I understand this is subjective. For viewing angles and responsiveness, IPS is still the way to go. The blacks wash out when viewed off angle, as IPS tends to, but colours remain constant in spite of the curve. You might think this would worsen off-axis viewing, but it only is noticeable with dark backgrounds. There is no noise coming from the monitor. I know this is a concern for some users, so I thought I’d mention it. No coil whine or anything of the sort that I can hear. I forgot to mention FreeSync before, but it works flawlessly even with my meek video card. LFC is supurb on this monitor with no signs of stuttering even as some things bring my framerate into the 20s. It keeps it at a multiple of that using fancy math and maintains a refresh rate that is still nice and fluid considering. I know black-frame insertion is something buyers may wish it had, but the panel type isn’t compatible with this feature, and I don’t think it’s needed. You also aren’t having to deal with any flickering or the sort as with monitors that utilize the current Samsung ultrawide panel. Of course, I have an AMD video card. So I may not experience such things regardless of panel type.

I wanted to offer my thoughts in summary there. I hope they’ll be helpful to some potential buyers. If I end up returning mine and repurchasing later, I’ll follow up to say whether I have any issues. I’m doubtful I would. Adam, I hope you’re able to get one of these to review. I’d certainly like to see your take on the monitor.

[PCM2]

I only slightly trimmed your spiel, as you said, but I still appreciate you posting the full version for my own reading purposes. Whilst I like to keep this thread mostly about the monitor and that experience (which you’d given a lot of colour to – and that’s wonderful), I still like to read about your ongoing saga with not so tech support. I certainly think a refund will end up the less painful route in all of this. You were right to try and see if it could be rectified in another way first and also make Amazon aware of a potential issue in case others raise it. I was also interested to read how impossible it was for you to get through to LG – that’s quite concerning actually. A lot of people are buying LG monitors (and other brands) at the moment and some will naturally be having faults and issues, so not even being able to use a contact form due to some glitch or the pandemic seems a bit ridiculous.

I’ve been in contact with another user by email who has purchased the 34GP83A. He said he’ll be testing it over the next few weeks and would like to give some feedback at some point. I’ve made him aware of the DisplayPort issues you were having to see if he has anything similar. I don’t think it’s right that you should have to settle for 100Hz over HDMI on this model, you’re paying quite a premium for that proper high refresh rate experience. I really do hope it isn’t a more widespread problem. I can’t imagine the DisplayPort controller is any different to the 34GN850 so I really think/hope this is a rare fault. Time will tell and I’m sorry you had this experience with a monitor you otherwise really liked.

As an aside, I will rename this thread to include a focus on the 34GP83A – I think that will be helpful.

[uncia]

Perseverance pays off! This morning I called LG customer support again, and this time I ignored the notifications about reduced staff due to the pandemic and “if you have an emergency and need assistance,” instead waiting until I could speak with someone anyway. Yesterday evening that had given me the idea they weren’t taking calls at this time. Their automated menu does make it sound like they’re only taking calls for emergencies, and who has an emergency monitor need?

The support representative wasn’t very knowledgeable, but kind enough at least. After some very superficial troubleshooting, even once I’d described in detail what I’d done up to this point, she directed me to contact Amazon to get a replacement as the return window was 30 days. I explained I’d been told by Amazon representatives to call LG. So I asked for a reference number to give Amazon if asked. Afterward, I contacted Amazon, and after asking the same questions anew, explaining that I had contacted LG, repeating this multiple times, the representative was able to offer me a full refund including the gift amount I received upon purchase with the application of the Prime card. I confirmed multiple times it would include this so I’d not be losing that. The representative assured me this would be the case. Upon further processing, I have a return label and assurance of a refund within 3-5 business days. I feel this is the best outcome at this time after all. I probably could have gotten a return after all the back and forth, but I’m a bit uncomfortable with the issues I had and was unable to resolve. I doubt others will have any issues with this monitor, but I might wait a while to see what experiences are reported online.

Perhaps I’ll end up purchasing it again, with better results, but there are many monitors out there. I’m not going to limit myself. I still believe it’s the best one I’ve tried to date, and had this displayport issue not occurred, I’d be more than happy with it. It’s an unfortunate outcome indeed. I think my biggest reticence is due to the 1-year limited warranty from LG. I definitely think they should provide more. After this experience, I’m uneasy trusting that I’ll not have further issues. If not initially, 16 months down the line. If it’s going to happen to anyone, it will happen to me. The extended coverage Amazon offers might be worth it. Yet other manufacturers offer 3 years without the need to purchase extended coverage. It’s worthy of consideration by potential purchasers.

At least it’s going to be possible to return it and get a full refund. It goes to show that if you are committed to getting something done, you can accomplish it with Amazon. Just don’t give up. Be persistent.

Adam, whether there’s anything here worth preserving for other visitors, or it’s just for you to see and nix, I thought I’d report back to let you know how things had gone. We’ve been on this adventure together! Thanks for all your help.

[PCM2]

I’m glad you were able to get the refund sorted. I suppose it makes sense that Amazon want you to try to address the issue with LG first before going down the refund route. I think they’re probably more strict about it at this time of year – quite often if you report a fault you can request a refund with no questions asked. Might be some special conditions attached to new products like this LG or it could really be due to exceptional sales volume and returns volume at the moment. I’m happy to leave your post up here as people are often interested in the warranty and support side of things which isn’t something I cover myself.

I’m hoping there will be some more feedback on the monitor in the not too distant future so you can get a clearer idea whether this DP issue is common or an unfortunate defect with your unit.

[uncia]

I think they were reticent to have me return it for replacement at first for reasons you’ve stated. It might help if they had more knowledgeable customer service representatives. They don’t check the past customer service history like they should either, so you have to start over each time you speak with them. These are things Amazon could work on improving. When troubleshooting means doing all the things you’ve already done multiple times, and they don’t hear you when you tell them that, then doing them again to assure them there’s really a problem, it does delay the process. I have a feeling had I asked about a full refund including the gift credit, they’d have been more willing early on. I’d just been trying for the replacement. I half wish I’d gotten that, but perhaps this will give me time to see what others say about this model. It’s the best monitor I’ve seen yet. Aside from the problems I experience. I’ve have a feeling the displayport issue might indeed be rare.

I go back and forth on it because there was a lot to like. Even via HDMI at 100Hz, it’s a nice display. Blacks are slightly better than the 27GL850, and it has more real estate to get things done. BLB isn’t great, IPS glow is there, but I’ve come to accept these as unavoidable with IPS displays. I don’t love the curve, but I could get used to it. The trend toward more extreme curves is not a great thing. 1500R doesn’t appeal to me, and Samsung’s 1000R seems unusable for most things other than gaming. I think LG manages to hit the sweet spot without too much curve while allowing easier viewing due to its width. I could still do without it if given the option, but no one is making ultrawides like this without a curve. You shared that Acer that’s flat, however, it’s also not nearly as appealing. NanoIPS has a really great look even when restricted to sRGB. It’s quite vibrant compared to other purely sRGB panels. The responsiveness is also something I doubt other panels can match. Anyone should be more than satisfied with it in that respect, unless they’re competitive gamers, in which case they’ll probably want some crazy fast TN 16:9 that has refresh rate as its primary purpose.

I’ll watch and see the experience others have with it, and then might consider it again in the future. LG seems to be refining and releasing new versions of these monitors faster and faster, now that they’ve realized the popularity they have and their inability to keep them in stock. It’s like the 3000 video cards from nVidia, these companies are surprised people want to buy something from them when they do something right. As the saying goes, if you make it, they will buy. Perhaps the idea that quality and a fair price will garner sales is finally occurring to them?

[uncia]

While we’re considering monitors with LG’s Nano IPS 34-inch panel, I saw you’d recently updated your site with the Acer X34 GS. I’d be quite curious to see their implementation. I liked a lot about the LG 34GP83A, but the issues I dealt with weren’t confidence inspiring. Aside from the obvious DP problem, it’s also very slow to wake from sleep, and it often loses touch with Windows so that in a multi-monitor setup all your windows shuffle to the next monitor over. This was frustrating as I was working with three monitors. I’d considered reducing my workflow to the LG alone, but I never was able to due to sending it back. Then software that would detect it as an audio input device would always ask upon waking whether I wanted to switch to the LG. Little things that tend to frustrate. At this point I’ve tried several DP 1.2 and 1.4 monitors, and only the LG have this strange behavior. I don’t know if it’s how they handle the DP itself or if its in the firmware. I’m still not sure if I might purchase it again in the future, accepting these small things, if the price drops to what it was when I first purchased it. With the Acer as a possible future option, I might return to biding my time.

I’m posting here only to keep things organized since I brought this monitor up in another thread and didn’t want to detract from the subject there.

[PCM2]

The Acer X34 GS is certainly interesting and it’s on the ‘would like to review’ list. Along with many others, of course! At least Acer, unlike LG, are forthcoming with review samples and actually want their products to be thoroughly tested and where appropriate criticised. I haven’t received any feedback from the user who replaced his 34GP83A, although he did mention he was a bit swamped with other things so I guess that’s not surprising. Maybe he’s just having too much fun with it. Or maybe he hasn’t had a chance to do much testing with it. I don’t think waiting for more feedback to appear on the LG would be a bad choice at this point and as you say there’s the Acer on the horizon as a possible alternative.

[TetriX]

Hi there,

I’m the one PCM was talking about who is in the middle of moving house. I haven’t had much spare time and it’s been utter madness. But I can confirm that I’ve spent time using the 34GP83A and I don’t regret the buy at all. It was an upgrade from my 34GK950 FreeSync model. I use it for the usual web browsing, Netflix and a bit of casual gaming. I wouldn’t say it’s a huge upgrade from the 34GK950 but I really liked that model as well. I needed an additional monitor and was originally going to get a 27GN950, but I decided to stick with the 21:9 in the end instead. I’d become so used to that.

I haven’t had any issues with Displayport on my RTX 2080 Ti. I think it sounds like a faulty monitor, I’ve had my fair share of issues with monitors in the past and I know it’s really annoying when they don’t work properly! I don’t have the desk space to compare the two 21:9 LGs side by side, but I think the 34GP83A is a step up. There’s less ghosting without the issues PCM highlighted in his review of the old model and I see on my old monitor. I can look at dark and bright colours together and they don’t smear or create a powder. I like the extra refresh rate but most of the time my frame rate is too low to appreciate that. Colours and contrast are pretty similar but my 34GP83A was set up better from the factory. I had to make big adjustments on the old monitor.

[PCM2]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts TetriX and I hope the house move is going well. I’m happy to see you’re enjoying your new monitor and haven’t had any issues with it that have annoyed you. It’s also nice that you found it to be a bit of an upgrade from your 34GK950F without feeling too unfamiliar. The ‘little’ things like improved pixel responsiveness and better factory calibration of your unit can all add up to make the experience more pleasant.

[uncia]

Adam, have you heard anything further on the Acer X34 GS? At the estimated $1,000 price point, I’m not sure if it’s worth the premium over the 34GP83A. Depending on what the price ends up being, and the reviews/customer ratings, I might consider it. I know that panel is top notch and still miss it. LG, if you only hadn’t put a glitchy displayport in that unit, I’d still have it.

[PCM2]

I haven’t I’m afraid. Not since October when the article was published. The main benefits on the X34 GS would be the slightly higher refresh rate (180Hz vs. 160Hz) and more powerful backlight for HDR purposes (550 cd/m² vs 400 cd/m² specified). But you’d need >160fps to take advantage of the extra refresh rate and if there’s no local dimming then HDR will be severely limited anyway. Especially if it lacks effective Dynamic Contrast for HDR, which in my experience is a strong possibility given how Acer often implements things. They usually go for the extremes of either local dimming or no local dimming without any Dynamic Contrast either – so the entire monitor would have 550 cd/m² being pumped out even for darker scenes. Which does not deliver a nice atmosphere at all. I guess, subjectively speaking, some might prefer the powder-coated metal stand – on a personal level I quite like this, but other people aren’t really fussed, might prefer the LG’s styling or would end up VESA mounting the monitor anyway. I don’t see it being better in terms of colour reproduction, contrast, more responsive (aside from refresh rate) etc.

[sayhejcu]

I’m interested in these. 34GN850 looks really good from all reviews. Contrast is not great but there is an improvement over 27 inch 1440p nano ips monitors. Black uniformity is seriously good which i value A LOT. There is a slight improvement over 27 inch 1440p nano ips in every category. Response times are ridiculously good. One of the best in the market. Better input lag and extra 160hz oc is there. PPI is slightly better than 27 inch and not as power hungry as 4k. More suitable for desktop usage than flat 16:9 32 inch monitor in my opinion as well.

I’m curious how is the ips glow experience with these ultrawide curved ips monitors ? In 16:9 format glow is really a big problem for me. Considering size and width i’m assuming ips glow is significantly less annoying with these ? Center 16:9 part of the screen should be uniform. Also unique to this model black uniformity and ips glow conditions seems good.

I noticed AUO’s ”rapid ips” is coming. We see it in MSI MAG274QRF-QD and Asus PG329Q. It’s similiar to nano ips in response times department but have better contrast and wider gamut. Does it have 34 inch curved ultrawide version though ? It would be nice to see comprehensive nano ips vs rapid ips comparison.

Seems like VA department not gonna have new things soon. There is AUO VA with LG 32GK850G which is pretty good but kinda ”old” and Samsung’s 240hz VA with extreme curve, bugs and relatively low contrast. Other VA’s are mostly budget targeted poor monitors in my opinion. They have pretty wild response times and other quirks of VA.

[PCM2]

‘IPS glow’ can be more pronounced towards the bottom corners of an UltraWide panel compared to a less wide 16:9 model from a normal position. This makes sense, because those corners are viewed from a steeper (less centralised) angle. However; ‘IPS glow’ is also brought out more strongly if a unit has poor black uniformity, such as strong clouding or backlight bleed. You’re correct that the 34GN850 is generally pretty good in that respect. But that’s just on average, this varies between units and there are no guarantees.

AUO’s recent 27″ AHVA (‘Fast IPS’) panels offer an edge compared to LG’s Nano IPS counterparts. The 32″ panel is also impressive in that regard. The Acer XB323Q GP is an exceptional 170Hz performer, note the comparisons drawn with the 27″ Nano IPS there. There’s not really much room for improvement in that respect with the latest 34″ Nano IPS UltraWides. But still a little room. The colour gamut and spectral output is another potential advantage if considering Adobe RGB coverage and a very balanced spectrum with strong green light energy; refer to the XB323U review for reference. But there are currently no 34 – 35″ UltraWides using such panels and AUO’s attention in that domain is focused on VA models.

[sayhejcu]

Interesting. Thanks for the reply. Excited for the CES 2021. I like wide gamut monitors. 27GL850 puts my wide gamut C27HG70 monitor to shame when it comes to colors. Now AUO expands it even further with the adobe rgb. People buy ips for response times but colors are star of the show in my opinion 🙂 Also the gray uniformity since we are using most things in night mode and night modes are generally gray (youtube, reddit, etc)

34GN850 is definitely interesting but compared to their 27GN950 i find it a bit overpriced. 27GN950 is 4k, has displayhdr600, local dimming, hardware calibration. 34GN850 is like bigger 27GL850. I will try to find 34GP83A in my region. I heard it’s exactly the same monitor minus some cables and different aesthetics. Not sure about its overdrive and black uniformity though. Uniformity varies between units but 34GN850 have good standards.

[uncia]

I’m following up with a question regarding the coming LG 34GP950G. It’s listed as G-Sync Ultimate, so obviously it’s a G-Sync model. I wonder if LG will be releasing an update to the 34GN850/34GP83A. The HDR600 rating means it must have dimming zones, no? Though I wonder if it will be enough to do a good job. There’s also the HDMI 2.1 update, which might be nice to have. Could we finally output 10 bit signals above 144Hz? Of course, it looks like LG is going to be asking a premium for the G-Sync model, and they might not see a reason to release another update to the FreeSync model. I thought I’d mention it here since this thread is folding in LG’s gaming ultrawides. Thanks for your thoughts as always, sir!

[PCM2]

I agree, this thread has naturally evolved in this direction so has been re-titled to accomodate discussions on the 34GP950G. VESA DisplayHDR 600 does indeed require local dimming. But it could be achieved with a fairly rudimentary solution with relatively few zones and how it’s controlled (the dimming algorithm) can also influence things. It really tells you very little about actual HDR performance, but you can expect a situational contrast advantage compared to solutions without local dimming as well as higher peak brightness. I’d like to think G-SYNC Ultimate demands at least a reasonable solution is used – the Dell Alienware models for example (AW2721D and AW3821DW) offer a pretty decent VESA DisplayHDR 600 level experience. I suspect they’ll have a similar 34″ model in the pipeline themselves later this year, too, to replace the AW3420DW.

As for bandwidth and bit-depth support at various refresh rates, I wouldn’t try to guess how things would are implemented on a model with a G-SYNC module. As the module itself can impose strange limitations and completely change expected vs. actual capability in that respect. DP 1.4 should also support 3440 x 1440 @180Hz with a 10-bit Full Range RGB signal.

[uncia]

I don’t see any signs LG plans to create a FreeSync variant of the upcoming 34GP950G, though they may wait a while for that. The premium G-SYNC demands often makes for better sales of the FreeSync alternative. So why put both out at the same time when you can push sales of the pricier model? That and if they use the same panel, it will mean having to split the limited supply. The tech market is so terrible right now, I could see them needing to prioritize. I might not wait for the updated model. I liked the 34GP83A while I had it and would have kept it if not for the technical issue. Speaking of, while DP 1.4 allows 144Hz at 10 bit, neither this monitor nor any other I’ve seen come out thus far goes above that while retaining a 10-bit signal. That’s why I didn’t think it was possible. I ran the 34GP83A at 144Hz for this reason. With that said, I’m not even sure 10-bit is necessary outside of HDR use, which is still a niche purpose that rarely comes into play for most people in day to day application. I just figured if I do end up purchasing another monitor, maybe I’ll wait for one with HDMI 2.1 for longevity’s purpose. HDMI 2.0 is fairly useless for high refresh rate monitors at 10 bit. I guess it’s all hypothetical until we see some actual products come out. So I’ll keep watching how things develop.

Maybe Windows will finally come out with an update to better manage HDR while we’re waiting. It would be a nice surprise. And all this while waiting for graphics cards with HDMI 2.1 to be available for actual purchase. What a world it is when tech is all imaginary! I feel like I can’t upgrade anything.

[PCM2]

I believe maintaining >144Hz 10-bit 3440 x 1440 would require DSC via DP 1.4, which the 34GP83A doesn’t use. Adding a G-SYNC module (as with the 34GP950G) can either impose a hard restriction on bit-depth due to limitations with the module itself. Or perhaps because the module and the functionality it offers eats away at bandwidth – I’m not sure on the technicalities here. It could just be a typo or error by ASUS, but with their PG32UQX they specifically mention 10-bit ‘4K UHD’ @120Hz – but not 144Hz. That monitor uses DP 1.4 with DSC, just like the LG 27GN950 which can use 10-bit at its native resolution all the way up to its maximum 160Hz. The PG32UQX is a G-SYNC Ultimate model so it again points to the module imposing some limitations – unless ASUS really did make a mistake, I’m hoping that will be cleared up.

You’re entirely correct that most would get no benefit from a 10-bit signal anyway. It can be useful if you specifically have a 10-bit workflow under SDR and are manipulating fine gradients and suchlike, but for normal content consumption and even a lot of content creation you wouldn’t benefit compared to using an 8-bit signal. And for HDR I’m really unconvinced by the merits of the monitor handling the signal rather than the GPU and this is something I’ve tested on many screens now. With HDR it’s a case of possible subtle differences in specific scenarios during a side by side comparison, nowhere near the sort of difference some people might be expecting and that monitor manufacturer marketing departments might love people to believe.

[uncia]

I wonder if DSC is used on the 34GN850. I haven’t heard of anyone going over 144Hz with a 10-bit signal on that model either. I imagine both it and the 34GP83A are virtually the same internally. I know a lot of reviewers mention banding when using an 8-bit signal, even on high-end monitors. Though is it an illusion that 10-bit does better when 8-bit content is almost all we really encounter in our day to day digital lives? I mean, the data doesn’t exist to need 10-bit, so is it just fudging extra color data to fill the bandwidth? It makes one curious.

I’m not sure if it’s worth waiting for LG to come out with an update to the current Nano-IPS ultrawides here, especially if the 34GP950G is the only one they release this year. Though I’m also curious if they’ll fix their firmware issues that make DSP connections drop out from Windows. It seems pretty common from user reviews, where Windows wakes up and sends the signal to the monitor, but the monitor hasn’t maintained a stanby state well enough to where Windows remembers it was there. If you have multiple monitors, windows/content gets shuffled around due to this. This doesn’t happen with Acer, MSI, or Viewsonic monitors that I’ve used. Windows also notifies you each time that a “new audio device has been detected.” That’s irritating. I hadn’t thought to bring this up before, but it seems an LG-specific quirk.

And back to waiting for developments. I’m making due with this old monitor combo, but it doesn’t measure up against an ultrawide. That was just so nice.
