Major props for discussing the length of the power cable. NO ONE ever covers that and it is a big deal for almost everyone when they get electronics home and try to plug it in. Nice. A little bit of advice, when showing the base or ports I'd try to zoom in a bit or have another close-up camera setup so a viewer could see the detail up close. I couldn't tell what it looked like so far away. You've definitely got a knack for presentation and public speaking. Good luck on your channel!

@@lorithkarthikeyanoffl yeah he explained everything he knows about it but i’m just answering your question why doesn’t he have more subs? maybe because most people don’t want to subscribe to a tv/ monitor review channel. most people that came across this video just because they searched it up.
Nice job back there....a honest review. especially coming to display you mentioned pixel density and picture quality... which people like us are very much concerned about..thanks 👍🏻
2k and 4k are just fine for gaming but for surfing, youtube, television, web desighn, fhd is better. Displaying 2k content on a fhd screen is fine. But you try displaying fhd on a 2k screen and the picture will be much much worse. Always, always buy the screen to match the content you will be viewing
Question: I have an Xbox series S which is maxed out at 120fps, so do I have to go into the settings like you did and set the screen to 120 or will it do it automatically? First time gaming from a computer monitor for an Xbox, thanks.
yeah the monitor automatically runs at 120 hz so just change ur xbox settings to run 120 and for the games i played some may auto run 120 others may have a setting in the game to where u can choose 120 or 60
I love the display, its great. My only concern is that there is no sound coming out of it. It has th sound option on the monitor plus I also see it as an option on my computer, but there is still no sound.
Mines didn’t come with a back plate nor it’s screws or the display cord just the power cord but it still works just needs to know what size screws I need to connect that stand leg together
You would just have to use a normal wall extension cord or power strip. To move the outlet plug closer. You might also be able to get different 12v DC power supply with a longer cord. But then you can get into different barrel jack sizes and ratings of the supply. So its not as recommended. -The Redefined Entertainment Team
i got a va panel before, it was a 32 curved benQ, normal price was like 800 on for 500, and i gotto say it was the best looking monitor ive ever seen, it was just amazing, but i returned it because the image ghosting/smearing was so bad, i was so sad afterwards because the ips panel i got did not look anywere near as good.... although it had no ghosting whatsoever

I bought a second hand 32" Acer monitor and find it beautiful. Apparently from 2019. Not being a teckie, I have no idea how to calibrate it. Is there an app to download to control screen settings like colour ballance? - Kind Thanks!
I ordered a refurbished monitor and it had the small backplate already in it and I can’t remove it feels like it’ll flex and break how did I remove it so I can mount the stand?
I don't know if you can get any third-party LCDs for this. The best way to get an exact match is by taking the old screen out and reading its specific model number. With this monitor being curved It could be extra tricky getting a replacement panel. I would normally take it apart to tell you the model number of the panel, but I have not worked with curved displays ever and don't feel comfortable doing so. -The Redefined Entertainment Team
Thanks for the correction! You are correct this monitor doesn't have built-in speakers. I miss spoke and was thinking about the other monitors I have. The monitor does have an audio-out jack that seems to have a decent enough DAC. So sorry if you bought the monitor thinking it would have speakers. Many apologies. -The Redefined Entertainment Team
Any PC can be hooked up to it, in the video for demonstration purposes I hooked it up to the Sketchy PC Build ( th-cam.com/video/rBPh57z3QoQ/w-d-xo.html ) But for everyday use I use it on my main computer, which can be seen being put together in our $1500 PC Build ( th-cam.com/video/Y26S5s7mifA/w-d-xo.html ) -The Redefined Entertainment Team
Hi, so sorry. I miss spoke in the video, and I tried to make it clear with popups and in the description that this monitor does not have built in speakers. (not like I would recommend using built in speakers most of the time anyway.) The monitor does have a 3.5mm AUX jack to plug speakers into, and that is how I use the monitor. Again so sorry. -The Redefined Entertainment Team
Thanks so much for the vid was trying to wire and connect my monitor last night to my gaming desktop was just wondering did you use both the hdmi cable and display cable at the same time or no and could you possibly make a smaller vid showing your wiring please thanks so much 😊👌🤘👊
You only need one cable at a time for this monitor. It will have to be a DisplayPort cable if you want it to go up to 165hz. While HDMI will only allow it to go up to 120hz. -The Redefined Entertainment Team
i bought this a while ago, tried it out before giving it as a Christmas present and for some reason the screen is white, like i can still see the text but it’s almost as if it’s inverted >.> super disappointed
Yes, as was mentioned in the video, the black to white times are not great. Meaning that for most content the screen can look okay, but for anything with harsh black objects, the smearing or ghosting will be very noticeable. This will be made a lot worse by having the overdrive on anything but extreme. -The Redefined Entertainment Team
If you want to enable freesync on the monitor you need to enable it in the menu of the monitor. This should help with tearing, as that's what it was designed to help with. Then go into settings on your computer and enable it there. For Nvidia cards, it is in the NVIDIA control panel. -The Redefined Entertainment Team
It is a big screen for the resolution yes, up close (about a foot) you can start to make out the pixels. It would probably be recommended that for this size of monitor, to find one with a higher resolution. -The Redefined Entertainment Team
To my knowledge, there is no overlay that does this, but make sure to check through all settings to see if some setting could be doing this. Otherwise, it could be that some data lines are broken in the display. Have you tried another computer? The other ports? If it shows up on all different computers or devices attached to it, I would say that the monitor would need to be returned, or check the warranty on it. -The Redefined Entertainment Team
This monitor can appear blurry if you sit too close to it, as the pixel density is low, determined by its lower resolution and large size for a monitor. I personally start to notice the pixels of the display when looking any closer than a foot and a half. For me sitting normally, the screen is fine, as you don't want to be that close to the monitor anyway. Though it might be a good idea to upgrade and get a slightly higher resolution for this size, or find a smaller monitor. -The Redefined Entertainment Team
