i was about to pull the triger on an mini led VA, thanks for helping with this information brother, that black smear is big dealbreaker for me.
Thank you! I wanted to see whats under that plastic cover. And removable wifi also suprised me! Thanks for wideo
Very informative video! Just a question on a different topic: I have the SafePal Browser Extension Wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (notice leisure umbrella over east select damage pink devote drip federal august). Could you help me figure out how to move them to Binance?
I guess your VA pannel is total crap, because this kind of thing with white text on black background (and did not notice anything like that during gameplay) : Samsun C24FG73QUXEN
Absolutely brilliant video. Thanks a lot! One thing one shouldn’t forget is that VA’s aren’t all bad. They usually absolutely destroy IPS panels when it comes to contrast ratios. Because of this I’ll soon be buying my first ever VA monitor. It will be the AOC Q27G3XMN as Monitors Unboxed (same guy as Hardware Unboxed but he made a separate RUclips channel for monitors) ranked it as one of the best overall 1440p monitors you can buy right now. Offering true HDR with 336 dimming zones.
Easy and cheap fix. It made a difference as soon as I put my headphones on and I can wear them for longer now without the fatigue. THANK YOU
can i change the number assigned to the laptop like the monitor as the main screen that opens stuff like games?
I used VA panel for about a year didn't know much about black smearing but after using an IPS panel, I couldn't go back to VA because image looked blurry after IPS, but of course IPS has that annoying backlight bleed. In the end I wished that I went for a high quality VA panel.
The pcba design is very much poorer than sony wh-1000 series.
Watching in 2024 due to black Friday sales.
i already order va monitor didnt know it was this bad 💀
I just sold my G34WQC(VA) and got an 34GN850(IPS). And my god difference is night and day!
great video, huge thanks for showing internals of the mouse
thank you.
Excelente trabalho! Impressionate o nível de detalhes e a abordagem de diversos cenários de uso. Didático e muito bem explicado. Fico imensamente grato, amigo. Muito obrigado!
In short, VA doesn't stand for viewing angle.
very helpful and super easy step by step, thanks !!!!
TN 60 hz are the best
I love the GX85(GX80 or GX7Mii) and GX9. They are feature rich, small, and lightweight. The EVF is small but adequate, not garbage. Also it is there. Many small bodies lack an EVF. Love the touch screen. As this is a photography centric body it is right that the screen tilts. 16MP is all this body needs. The video feature are what you’d expect from a LUMIX camera. Why the microphone jac wasn’t included is a head scratcher. Image quality is excellent. The L monochrome B&W jpeg is very good. The L monochrome D on the GX9 is my favorite B&W jpeg. I was so happy last month to purchase in NYC a GX85 with the battery charger for $300. What a bargain. Glad this body and GX9 aren’t cult classics. Hard to believe this is a 10 year old camera. I highly recommend the GX85/9 for street/travel/EDC.
Really good explanation..no need to watch other videos of comparison between these two panels especially for black background 👍
QUESTION: Toshiba has said the 55" C350 model I just bought from Best Buy is an IPS. However, the screen behaves like a VA with verry poor veiwing angles that lose brightness and color - especially with a color such as orange. For some reason the blue colors aren't as noticeable. But take just one step to the left or right changes the color intensity. That is NOT the behavior of an IPS. That is what happens with a VA. Toshiba uses a VA panel in the 75" model. I'm wondering if the 55" model now uses a VA panel for 2024. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Viewing angles are important.
Thank you, all set up now. 😊
I'm just here to learn how to notice something that makes my gaming experience worse
it was realy useful, tnx
this video is so fun, i love how simply you explained it. What a great video!
Some of the LED have gone out now, very hard to read the numbers, I'm guessing there is no fix for that, but I'm finding it impossible to find a replacement with the Google connection feature, suggestions anyone?
I don’t have a pc i have laptop and I want to make a monitor like two monitors the laptop and monitor and I don’t know how to don’t use the laptop as a pc for the monitor
great video
It would seem my LG 32GK650F VA panel is able to differentiate the black smearing test. This is excellent to see as it gets all the benefits of low contrast, accurate colors, and its cheap. Pretty jazzed!
Sorry but that viewsonic VA panel seems particularly lousy. Especially that text comparison. How much does that one cost? Did I get lucky? My LG in comparison darkens only a touch.
That's why I always go with trusted IPS Panels.
Immersion is all in the mind, I can get immersed in a book.
Is this fix also compatible for the Kone XP non air version?
I just saved up so much and didn’t know what that stuff was and I wasted so much and I don’t have a job I’m so sad
First world problems lol
anyone wondering how this alleged "budget" monitor is 315 USD haha ??
You can send me the link where you bought the battery. I need to replace mine.
Best ever, to the point yet detailed 👍
OMG THANK YOU SOME MUCH I HAVE A LAPTOP AND I HAVE A SMALL TV AD THIS IS THE BEST WAY GOOD VEODO MAN KEEP IT UP^_^
At this point im finna buy any tv, this monitor world is so problematic
OLED is on top
Thank you for this
Amazing Guide thanks
I bought a 27 inch 1800R monitor earlier this year and I would never want to go back to a flat one for that size or larger. Having said that, the modest 1800R curve is enough for me at that size and I wouldn't want a smaller radius. But my guess is that the larger I would go, the lower the radius I would be comfortable with.
thank you so much for this video man, it really helped!
Try to play gunz the duel.. the ghosting is very noticeable. Since the game is fast pace
I'm considering a review of my $60K portfolio allocations, particularly in light of the pause in interest rate hikes. I'm eyeing some high-risk, high-reward opportunities. Crypto and emerging markets seem intriguing. Anyone else exploring these?
glad this is getting attention, ive noticed the lifespan is dropping off fast with daily use. Very concerning - My old bose 45s battery lasted years. Ive noticed this drop after only about 10 months
perfect! it works! thank you!!
W tutorial
isnt there a grading for panels?, LG one seems pretty high end and the viewsonic seems like a budget option. basically this VA pannel is a very mediocre compared to better ones. you end up comparing a good unit of an IPS and a mid-range option for a VA. VA are supposed be better for response than IPS. its better to look into that. i only noticed the black smering on a VA when using advanced and ultrafast response time modes (also cheap viewsonic) while IPS has a lot of ghosting aside from blacks.
that lg model has a super low contrast in rtings tests, 700:1 💀 and this video showed me that it's not that bad
Would have been good to watch the Soldering
