Does this work as a USB hub for the ports not used for charging?

No DP port is annoying, but I may still bite. It'll be a nice upgrade and Costco's return policy is hard to beat.
Thanks for this comment. Before looking at specs I look through comments. No DP port is a deal killer for me personally.

Had to bite.. Got mine this morning 9 am at Mt Vernon location. I count about 5 more sitting in the shelf. Just finished mounting it on my desk arm. For me works right now since I'm going to use it attached usb c to my macbook pro and hdmi 2.1 on ps5 pro for some Gaming, I don't think I need more right now and for this price.. absolute deal!

Just set it up for my old computer.

For people using OLD GPU with DP1.4->HDMI 2.1 adapter, if you want to get 4K 120hz 4:4:4 RGB 8Bit

You need to use CRU, delete the native 4K120hz timing, Edit the Display ID 1.3 block for 4K120hz and select NATIVE PC timings. This will lower the Bandwidth requirement for 4:4:4 to 1066 MHZ instead of 1188-1200mhz, which exceed DP 1.4 payload bandwidth in most cases.

Without edit, it will only allow 4K120 4:2:2 limited.

I have ordered a DP to USB C adapter, I will report back once I receive it tomorrow.

Interesting. Not sure if I would have gotten into the weeds if I was getting 4K120 but I'm assuming the 4:2:2 limited is a lower quality image. Please let us know!

Greetings slickbot.

My post is for people using old GPU without HDMI 2.1

These GPUS usually has DP1.4 and HDMI 2.0, H2.0 doesn't have nearly the bandwidth to drive 4K120.

So on these GPUs you're looking to use the DP 1.4 port, which has 25Gbps of bandwidth.

This is only enough 4K 120Hz 4:4:4 8bit FULL RGB, but not in a standard mode, because 1188mhz is above 25Gbps. So you have to get it down to 1066mhz.

That's why the EDID needs to be edited. There's no risk, this is completely reversible (though you wouldn't). It's just editing a configuration file the GPU reads.


Without edit, the DP 1.4 can only support 4K120 4:2:2 Limited YCBCR. Limited means 16 to 235 instead of Full 0-255 pixel value.

4:2:2 means you get 4 colors samples per 8 pixels samples instead of 8 color samples, you lose a bit of sharpness in fine texture/fine line detail and slightly fuzzy text rendering

4:2:0 means you get 2 color samples per 8 pixels, text will look very fuzzy, and slightly faded

4:4:4 means you get 8 color samples per 8 pixels. >>Best texture clarity


Old GPU will not be able to do 10bit 4K120 on DP1.4, because that usually requires 35+Gbit, and is above the payload bandwidth of DP1.4. There might be tricks to get it working, but you need a Hacked DP adapter that can payload the whole 35-37Gbit, very non standard.

In practice, as long as your video playback device/renderer/game uses dithering, 8bit is not that different from 10bit.

Got samsung G81sf a few months back. Not sure if I should add another OLED monitor. G81SF is a bit underwhelming for me in a bright room comparing with the lenovo 34 VA on the side.
Your bright room is the problem, OLED is OLED. yummy

Your comment suggests that there aren't other factors at play, but there can be some variations among displays, especially OLED, as to how subpixel arrangement can impact the experience (especially PC-specific use cases such as text-based content).

Good luck!
Jon
Overblown issue. Most people use monitors at higher than 100% dpi, there's no text problem whatsoever.

Weirdly doesn't look like a32 in person.. unsure why.. maybe the bezel at bottom which I was not a fan of

One usbc one DisplayPort I think via usbc, and one hdmi

Maybe if it dropped again in price I would consider
This is easily the best monitor deal of the year.

32 Inch 2560x1440 240hz VA LCDs cost around $350.

I'd rather have 32 inch 3840x2160 120hz QD-OLED, not just any oled, QD, this blows LG RGBW out of the water. Amazing colors, shit you've never seen.

Quote from SDJP2020 :
You are downvoted but honestly that's totally fair. Two things can be true at the same time: the bottom bezel is absolutely massive, and this is a great deal on an OLED monitor. Heck you see standard IPS 4k 32 inch monitors at this price, so it's not worth being picky, but also this is heavy YMMV.
The bottom bezel has 5 speaker drivers, infrared LEDs and a sensor to SPY ON YOU for spatial audio.

There's a reason for it. It's frankly an amazing soundbar for what it is, and NOTHING $350 has it.

I was holding out, especially with OLED set to get even cheaper this year. However, I couldn't resist the siren call of the death star.

Replacing an over 10yo 4k display from Fry's Electronics (RIP).

Good luck!

These ARE THE OLEDs you are looking for. nod
