      @@Hargita47 I cant say for sure about this updated version but if the ports are something resembling normality then for sure you can go for it.The old port choice on this monitor are odd to say the least as they can be quite annoying when it comes to finding cables because the marketplace isn't offering too much with this mini ports.And if you are looking for good quality cables then you are even more limited on the old version.So to sum it up,if performance is the same and the ports are as you say full size for both DP and Hdmi then go for it.Cheers bud

    Hello , i have a problem with this monitor. I bought it roughly 1 month ago, and when i plug in my ps4 pro / ps5 via hdmi 2.1 (which supports all the resolution) my monitor can t go beyond 1080p 60hz with my ps4 pro (eventhough it can go up to 4k 60hz in my bugger Samsung TV) and my ps5 can t go any more then 1440p. I don t know why my consoles can t reach the full resolution on this screen, and it s not the cable s fault because when i plug my pc with the hdmi2.1, it can t go up to 3440 120hz as i was using the DP ( with DP i m going 3440 175hz.)
    Do u have any suggestion?

    • @Tech_Fusion
      @Tech_Fusion  Год назад

      Hi bud,well thats a shitty experience overall and I feel quite sorry.A few suggestions that I have is to firstly try and set the resolution from your G8 monitor to 16:9 as by default it could try to display 21:9 and the PS5 last I've checked doesn't support it.If this does nothing then try and use a different cable(even though your existing one does work as you've said with other devices) it can still be an issue with this particular setup. Unfortunately I had had problems in the past with cables that worked fine for one setup and not at all for others,just like you've explained here.I always take the listing on amazon and so forth with a pinch of salt as I don't always believe the description to be 100% correct.I've seen some people that complained about this on reddit, recommending this adaptor here (www.amazon.de/dp/B0BHQXFTZ8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) to use with your micro hdmi plug to fix the issue.Maybe buy this one here first,if you can find it or something similar to use with your existing cable and if not and if you still have issue then also consider a cable replacement.Also do check your firmware both on the OLED panel and the PS side,to run the latest one.I hope this give's you a general idea of where to go next with the troubleshoot.If you find the fix,maybe get back to us here and let us know for future reference.Cheers buddy and fingers crossed

      @Tech_Fusion  Год назад +3

      Hi bud and congratulations on your purchase.Well there is only one major thing I would ask you to pay attention to.Take care not to use the same background (like windows wallpaper) if you are planning to leave the monitor on for extended periods of time.the monitor does have some protections for the fundamental problem of OLED panels that is its pixel burn in as it is called, but its a good practice to take some extra care.Simply put,if you use your monitor with static images or logos in the same places over long periods of time,then just change the wallpaper or logos if you can ever so often in order to avoid issues with pixels burning in.If you however just use it for games,movies and overall "normal usage" where the pixels are exposed to dynamic content then there no issue whatsoever.Enjoy it buddy,it should keep you quite happy.Cheers 😀

The other 30% of time im playing Microsoft flight simulator or formula 1 games. How do you think this fares as a productivity monitor 1st and a gaming monitor 2nd.

      Hi buddy, well let me make it very clear that this monitor is an absolute beast and its absolutely awesome for productivity tasks like what you mentioned and also a great monitor for gaming.It will easily please most people with its stunning looks,great colors,true black thanks to the OLED tech and along side with its curvature its a true powerhouse allowing you to fully enjoy anything you throw at it.Multi tasking on this its wonderful as the wide aspect ratio along with the curvature really makes it feel like its a natural workflow for users.Regarding the different subpixel arrangement it looks just fine and normal but there is that off chance that a small percentage of people can notice a slight greenish hue on the bottom of any text,specially if its black text on a white background(like with normal pdf's).This comes with some pink-ish hue around the top of the characters, but I for one havent really noticed anything when I'm using this monitor in a normal setup while sitting at a normal lenght away from it.For other applications like gaming or videos there has been no report as far as I know about this potential issue.Anyway sorry for the long response but I hope I was able to make it a bit clearer for you.All in all is a wonderful display that surely can please even the most picky of us out there.Cheers buddy

      The monitor is pre calibrated. You can do further calibration, tons of options.
      No OLED monitors inherently have almost instant response time. So you will not notice any changes or input delays at 60hz or 16:9 ratio or after any calibration changes. Nothing that you do will increase or reduce the panels input latency.

    • @Tech_Fusion
      @Tech_Fusion  Год назад +2

      Hi buddy and congrats on the purchase.I think this panel will make you very happy as the quality is really something.The deep blacks and vibrant colours really make anything displayed on it pop.As for your PS5/Xbox setup,well I did use something like the cable in the link here(check end of comment) for my PS5 test but this will not get you the full benefit of the PS5's performance in some games.The output on both the Xbox and PS5 is 4K120Hz with its HDMI 2.1 standard but of course depending on some triple A games the console wont be able to run at nothing close to the 120Hz.Most games are optimised for the hardware and should run at around 4K60Hz for stable smooth gameplay at high settings.So this brings me back to the cable I used that was rated for exactly that,4K60Hz.Even though the panel can display around 175Hz,you wont get near to that with any console that you hook it up to.So in the end I would recommend a cable like the one in the link as it will be both budget friendly and get you gaming at the potential of the current gen consoles.As per the hub,you have a few inputs available to you (although a strange choice in ports by Samsung) and surely you can hookup this display in a number of ways to show what you want.Also it runs it's own OS to make streaming things like Netflix,Amazon etc and even Nvidia Gforce if thats your sauce :).Cheers bud and hope this lengthy comment covers your question.Cheers www.amazon.com/oldboytech-Adapter-Compatible-Raspberry-Capture/dp/B08C2PVP7J/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=micro+hdmi+to+hdmi&qid=1699792606&sr=8-5

      I'll try and get both answers here buddy.Well firstly for the hub,I wouldn't go too crazy on spending a lot, just pick anything that gives you the shear number of ports that you need and also to cover your needs like 4K60/120 etc.I don't have a brand per-say to recommend but a good place to start is by checking up amazon and browsing by best sellers and seeing the reviews.The same can be said about the cable and dont get fooled by overhyped marketing as I'm quite sure that this cable can't go at 4K240Hz.Im not saying that this sort of cables can't do it but usually the ones that do are maybe at least twice as expensive as this one right here.It can be a bit hit and miss with this sort of stuff that's why I always check by reviews and go by best selling as usually those tend to be really liked by buyers.Cheers buddy hope this helps :)@@steverogers2524

      Also while checking for hubs. The G8 went down to $749 usd. I felt like I shot myself on the foot. I tried to cancel my monitor G8 previous order and couldn't since it's already on it's way and should be here today. Only way is by returning it quick at Amazon's Wholefoods and get credit it. Then redo the order with the new mark down. Well...... Checking today just now it's back to $899 usd. Either way I still think it's a great price.

      @Tech_Fusion  Год назад +1

      Hi buddy,well it comes down to you and the use case.Surely if this was giving you 4K then I dont think you would be facing this question but what I hope to do is to shed some light on the panel itself.The neo G8 gives you the 4K res for sure but its and LED panel(mini LED but still LED).And that means ofc that you will never reach the truly stunning looks of an OLED panel.In my humble opinion I will always choose this OLED smaller resolution panel over an LED 4K one because im addicted by this point with what OLED offers and the way it looks.I use this monitor for both gaming and editing video as well as general internet browsing with lots of youtube videos in general and hats down all the way this panel looks insanely good.I cant tell you 100% certain that this is going to be better in any use case then a traditional LED panel but for me and my use case it definitely is without a doubt.I mean sure the discussion is deeper since you get a higher refresh rate with the LED but again you have to have the hardware to back it up in applications likes games for instance, since if you want to take advantage of the 240Hz panel then you must have a decent GPU in most AAA titles to be able to push that many pixels around.The amazing blacks and super high response rate really gives it something that once you start using daily,then you will never think of going back to a standard LED or IPS panel ever again.Hopes this helps shed some "light" on the matter for you.Cheers buddy
