I just leave freesync off, i don't have a AMD GPU anyway, so matters not. Still a pretty nice display though, shame about the low refresh problem. Some of us don't have $£1000+ to spend on a monitor, so we just get the scraps from the floor.



I'm playing classic atm and don't notice no smearing, i must have weird eyesight or summat.

Yeah, I think I'm keeping this monitor. Unusable FreeSync sucks, but nearly everything else about this monitor is better than my old one.

I especially like the adjustable stand, USB hub, and higher refresh rate.

LG does mitigate this somewhat, they have two freesync options in the monitor menu, so if one is giving you flickering issues you just switch it over, no need to turn it off, and is game dependent, so I am guessing that is why they have 3 options, at least on the VA of theirs I did try, but again the pixel response times just broke the immersion for me, had no smearing, just didn't look right to my eyes.

Stick with IPS imo. or maybe i just i haven't seen a proper VA yet



its probably you just have a better VA panel. i only saw 2 in my entire life, so my experience is limited.

I love the deep black levels that VA has and honestly, I don't have any issues with the smearing on dark objects. I'll take that over IPS glow.

I have a 4K Dell Ultrasharp from 2018 (thrift store find) with an IPS panel, and its black levels are absolutely atrocious.

The S3422DWG handles dark objects much better (noticeably less smearing than my old monitor) and overall seems to be a much higher quality monitor.

I think black levels on my IPS are really nice, just depends on the quality of the manufacturer honestly.

Definitely.

My Zephyrus G14's IPS screen (no FALD) has decent black levels. Not as good as VA, but definitely better than the 4K Dell.

I had snagged a set of these on my last Amazon order and they've got quadruple ball bearings per wheel and feel like smaller diameter roller blade wheels in quality. They work great on carpet and are safe on hardwood at the same time while being some level of quiet I won't refute that is plenty sufficiently quiet thus they pass the test their certified amazing balls and have the balls of steel to back that *** up. If I would've had these 20 years ago I don' even know how much time savings I'd have cultivated cumulatively over that period of fighting the chair wheels, but more than enough to pay for a set of these wheels easily. Compute smarter not harder. In my next lifetime I'll be getting these wheels 20 years sooner.

Looks great for a 4TB NVME drive in RAID 0.

On my board (Asus ProArt X670e) i have 2 PCIe 4.0x4 and two PCIe 5.0x4 slots available. I can combine them with an onboard Raid Controller. I will also buy 2 PCIe 5.0 drives to have all of them on Raid. By speed the PCIe 5.0x4 will be really interesting.
