Exactly, no idea why it's like this, my literal budget drawing tablet has probably the best LCD screen I've ever seen alongside something like a surface pro or an LCD iPad, it's more then serviceable and I'm happy with it, 0 IPS glow or backlight issues or other weird quriks of any kind on it and tolerable contrast ratio, near perfect uniformity and calibration for a super affordable price, meanwhile almost all LCD PC monitors I know of or have seen are too commonly riddled with poor quality control and bleeding and what else no matter the price range, it's so weird...

It's probably because they can get away with it or something, idk I'm not an expert, the majority don't seem bothered by it so it is what it is I guess.

I really appreciate that, thx!

I took a look around RTINGS and other reviewers, seems very close to what I'm looking for, and from seeing pictures it actually seems to have minimal backlighting issues compared to literally every other LCD monitor that I know of, looks really good! Though I do see some weird quirks that I have some worries about.

Apparently it needs manual colour calibration for it to be accurate as out of the box it's supposedly not. And like the other commenter said it seems to have some weird issues with VRR and the DP port for some reason, even some weird refresh rate locking on the DP, doesn't seem like an isolated case.

It also on occasions has a rare tendency to retain an image when it's in HDR sorta like OLEDs do? Though only briefly and goes away when turned on and off, no idea if it's a defect on certain units or something inherent with it, but it seems extremely worrying considering it's an LCD, I don't think it's supposed to do that. Are these issues fixed with the newer firmwares?

Have you encountered any of these issues? Is the backlight and contrast alright in dark and bright environments in SDR and HDR? How's the blooming and viewing angles with it? Is there a similar monitor to this out there that I should consider as well? Maybe an updated model of this or something? Would absolutely love a more fine tuned and updated version of this.

I'm not the most tech savvy so please bear with me. If it helps I'm going to be running a dual monitor setup; one 4k OLED, one 4k LCD, both 27".

I initially went with an ROG XG27UCS but it had very annoying blacklight bleeding combined with an equally irritating IPS glow around the edges that were impossible to ignore for me, was not great for my eyes so I had to reluctantly return it, it was the only 4k monitor in my region that was under 600$ so that sucked.

I'm not looking for anything crazy as I already have an OLED, but I do want something of good quality and reliability so I don't overuse or overburden the OLED for everything, looking for an all rounder, which I'm really struggling to figure out, doesn't help that prices are really weird for me and there's a gazillion models and panels and things out there that's very overwhelming for me to follow up with.

I heard about IPS black and as far as I know the only monitor that interested me that has it is the LG 27G850A, it's priced roughly around 600-700$ for me, and so is stuff like the M27UA so no value advantages for me sadly, the XG27UCS is all I got under those prices and the QC is not good as I had to find out first hand ๐Ÿ˜”

No reviews or anything about the LG besides one single video from monitors unboxed (https://youtube.com/watch?v=MopIZpA59gs), they didn't recommend it and complained that it's slow and blurry compared to other monitors. Am I really going to notice it's ghosting and 10ms+ response rate when using it day to day? Is there anything out there that's similar to this thing without costing a kidney? Seems to be good on the panel front otherwise. I also know about mini-LED but no idea how good of an option that is or what monitors are recommended for it.

I'm unfortunately very tight on budget due to the OLED singlehandedly gobbling up a massive chunk of it.

If it helps and if I have to make compromises, then my priorities are:

  • 1 picture quality and colour accuracy/calibration out of the box or through the OSD. (27" size only, have no space for anything bigger)

  • 2 contrast and panel quality. (As minimal defects, glow, and backlight issues as possible)

  • 3 gaming performance.

What monitors would you recommend for me?

Legitimately no clue where to look, I live in a very shitty country with nothing regional for me, so no options there, and everything online is exclusively US or UK only it seems, and even then most of them aren't free which I can't afford, and it's only for very specific fields and for specific countries only, nothing general or anything to refer me to the appropriate person or group for what I need.

Need advice on basically everything, am extremely lost in life and am stuck in a very tricky situation, no clue how to navigate all of that without professional help, it's a little too much. No friends or family to turn to so it's just me on my own, sorry if I'm supposed to know all of this already or something but I legitimately don't, please bear with me.

I have no connections so I tried resorting to AI for referrals as a last resort but it didn't do anything for me, still can't find where to go and who to talk to.

No clue if anyone here knows of anything but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask, anything's appreciated.
