Thank you! And thanks for the feedback as well, I’ll take it into account for my last guide that hasn’t been edited yet. Appreciate the feedback!

Not directly to the speakers, they do not have a sub out on the speakers themselves.

This is the MX Mechanical Mini Tactile! They are also offered in a full sizes as well

I will definitely look into this! Especially when I don't want to take the 16" Pro with me

I’ve always liked the hand sensor for the lighting! And yeah the G Hub software could use some work, but it’s way better than it was before for customizing it how you like

This is a known issue with this monitor with the thunderbolt port not being the best. Mine also failed at month 11, but was fixed for free by LG through a third party company. I would say that as long as the thunderbolt cable isn’t being stressed, the likely hood of failure is less, but it might still happen. Purchase at your own risk.

Oh nice! Keychron is always a great choice for the customizability of it! Logitech’s spot is for those that prefer to use G Hub over VIA/GMK, but agreed that if you’re comfortable with VIA, there are other better options

If your keyboard is being used via Bluetooth, the Mac also has Bluetooth that you can use for the keyboard. If docking the Mac, I recommend a USB C hub that would give you more ports which is the easiest way to get more ports on the Mac for other wired accessories.

Yes, I would trust refurbished MacBooks from Apple Certified Refurbished or BestBuy as my top 2 places

They still look great to me with no peeling. I have only been using them for less than a year though so only time will tell how much they can last

It's relatively the same, I haven't noticed any significant increase in charging speeds.

It can definitely be too large, especially if your desktop width is only 24 inches. I still prefer a 27 inch monitor for a smaller width desk

Yeah I think the mechanical keyboards are performing well right now with more and more companies releasing low profile ones so I can see how they wanted to keep the same feel on this update.

@@nerdgrafx Yup. It sucks to be in the niche of a niche sometimes.

True, but that's way more work than what a casual consumer would be willing to put in. Even in custom keyboards, there's more and more hot swappable options for this reason

​@@nerdgrafxI'm so mad this keyboard isn't hot swappable 4 the price! CUZ SOLDERING is fun but i think 2 much work too

No one said it is

its is a gaming keyboard bitch

Yeah I think they were going mainly for the desktop PC market without the USB C, but the headphone jack is a must, especially for a monitor >$1000. If you have a laptop, the MSI one is the other one I am considering that also has USB C

@@nerdgrafx I don't think I'd wanna spend $1000 on a monitor. I just went with the LG 27GS95QE and honestly it's great and I love it. Been playing Dota 2 and PS5 Games on it and the quality is so crips even if the settings are all low on my PC.

Great! Enjoy them, they're definitely great headphones!

probably not. They fked up keycaps on original G915, but on G915X they made them PBT, better material, better texture, and different stem profile... So owners of original are screwed :( I'm wondering why no one showing real examples of usage of G-keys, G-shift, and keycontrol? Literally hundreds of reviews and no one ever showed a single real example. Like look - you can make 50 custom macros for Premiere and assign them across all board with g-shift...

@@nicktyler2572 Logitech. A company that has been making mice and keyboards for years n years......not understanding keycaps......on a 100+ dollar keyboard. Logitech is done, you are crazy for buying logitech. You can make macros on 50 dollar chinese keyboards that do let you change keycaps and switches lmao.

@@YTU174 yes and no... New PBT keycaps are wearing off pretty fast too, but in a different way. Legends are not wearing, but texture is getting polished and it starts to look ugly and dirty. 😒

If you sit pretty close, the HDR can get pretty bright on this one. The matte film is nice though to not be really reflective with other lights in the room

I think a good alternative for this one would be the Air line from Nuphy. They don't have a full size, but their 96v2 is a good alternative and I feel like they have one of the best out of the box sound. For full size keyboard, I would recommend the Keychron K5 Max. And thanks, the keyboard at 4:20 is the Mode Sonnet and it has a beautiful design, but it's a normal profile keyboard if you're looking for a low profile specific one

@@nerdgrafxwhich Switches Are the Best for g915 x?

@@Troynex I personally would go for the linear switches, but in reality it's all preference based. The sound isn't much different on this keyboard between the different switches

@@nerdgrafx Thank You!

Right! It's a nice look

Yes you can get both at the same time! It works great with PS5 and can handle high refresh rate and the faster frames as well if the game supports it. I didn't have any complaints with the PS5, and it's highly enjoyable

Oneui

Thank you for your support! The G80SD does pair well with MacOS and is comparable to the retina display. It won't be 100% the same as the studio display, but they are way better than they were a few years ago. It is a shame that the 5k displays don't work with Windows or with gaming consoles because they would be the best solution for all around if you're on Mac

What a steal! I always recommend used since you can get a great deal like this one for some brands

I used both a 4k 144hz USB C to DP cable from Amazon and the HDMI to HDMI cord that came in the box. These are my color settings I used which I had just taken from the top reddit result and I liked how it looked, the Natural Color tone and High Peak brightness seemed to bring the best change to my eyes: HDR [Game Mode] - Windows 11 PC Brightness: 50 Contrast: 50 Sharpness: 10 Color: 30 (slight boost to color saturation) Tint: 0 Contrast Enhancer: 0 Color Tone: Natural Gamma: ST.2098 Color Space: Auto Peak Brightness: High (medium=530nit, high=1000nit) Game HDR: Basic (enables HGiG and HDR profile)

@@nerdgrafx thank you very much

Can I also have your settings for SDR please? Thanks in advance

@@kiaconchim123 Yeah, here it is: SDR [Game Mode] - Windows 11 PC Brightness: 11 (adjust based on how bright your room is) Contrast: 50 Sharpness: 10 Color: 14 (compensated for the saturation in Native color space) Tint: 0 Contrast Enhancer: 0 Color Tone: Natural Gamma: BT.1886 [0] Color Space: Native (prefers the pop in games)

@@nerdgrafx Hi, I have it connected to USB C to DP cable but I can't get Peak Brightness on. How did you get it on? Also the brightness (white) is really dull on a Mac. I have it on high brightness and on Graphics picture mode. Natural color.

Thank you for your support! Enjoy your new monitor, it's a great choice for both operating systems!

Me too, i have just placed the order and then i see this video. hope this combination is good and u r enjoying!

Oh wow! I have tried using a tv before and it was just too large, but it was a 55 inch. Maybe I'll retry at some point with a 42inch instead, I see a lot more setups now with the LG C-series

Thank you for your detailed feedback! I am pinning your comment in case anyone else wants to complete a detailed look at all the connection settings. As for the 144hz, I am not sure why my Mac could not achieve it with this monitor. I have seen my Mac drive a 144hz display before (a Hisense TV) through the USB C to HDMI. This could be due to a setting within the G80SD that I may have missed. With the USB C to DP I could drive it up to 120hz or VRR, and HDR on, at any resolution though which was great if you wanted to use that connection. You are also correct about the reasoning why my HDMI is limited. It’s a 2.0 port on the M1 Pro 16” Macbook that I have, which is why an HDMI to HDMI connection will not be the best. I would recommend a USB to HDMI or using a docking station that can handle higher resolutions/refresh rates. When I used a Hisense TV, I could drive it to 4K 144hz with a proper cable, which I no longer have since I now only use a thunderbolt display. Thanks again! The speakers on my desk are the Edifier MR4’s, I bought them two years ago and I find it hard to upgrade from them. They give me most of what I need (only not enough bass at low volumes and no sub out port), for <$100. They’re back on sale right now for $97 and might stay this way through November. Here’s a link to my full review: th-cam.com/video/YER5zWRWTD8/w-d-xo.html

I've never really cared for glossy or matte displays before, but if you think about it and watch more reviews that G80SD matte display is the best amongst others.

could you help me with connectivity with my macbook and this monitor?

@@czvwr yeah dude. What MacBook? What’s wrong?

Thank you for your support!

Yes! USB C to DisplayPort will allow you to select variable refresh rate or 120hz only!

@@nerdgrafx Thanks this was a great review.

The text quality wasn't too bad from your 5K?

@@nexlogic34 Not bad at all! Text clarity, especially on the 1080 setting, was great

Exactly! Even now, 2 years later for me, they offer everything I need from desktop speakers. You can't beat them, especially at the sale price that they go to every November

They are great for my use. Highly recommend for the price.

depends if you move to different locations a lot. If you're more stationary, get the Halo75

Haha thanks for watching! I can definitely test other sounds effects instead of the ones I am using. Appreciate the feedback!

I agree! I recently purchased the G915X which also has an auto-turn off feature by default which gets annoying when you first have to click a key to turn on the keyboard. It's worse when the key legends are not visible without the backlight

It has a 100hz polling rate which makes it very well suited for gaming! I have not used it for gaming, but the specs for gaming are impressive

Thanks for the recommendation! I just recently picked up the 915X, and the G Hub is working well, most of the downsides I had with the original 915 are addressed with this new one as well. But they did become more like the MX Keys Mechanical in terms of typing feel and sound
