Love me some monitor reviews with Tim !!!!!! Always thorough , always honest!!!!

Panel Temperature makes a difference in transition times, I have an older VA panel (eBay Korean AMH A399U) and the first half hour to hour smearing is noticeable. Especially during winter because the monitor is by a window. I thought i was crazy the first few years i had the monitor lol, and HDTVTest confirmed this. Some monitor are more susceptible to cold temperatures while some (OLED) have very little difference. You have to account that LCD mean's Liquid Crystal Display.. Which! means that your changing the physical orientation of particles inside little liquid chambers to allow light to pass or block, lower temperatures WILL change the viscosity of said liquid.

THANK YOU!!!! I've been hoping for this review. Great review as always

I've had this monitor since it released and love it, glad you are finally reviewing it!

Thanks for the indepth review! honest and on point. Keep it up!

I'm using FV43U for few months now, alongside with 1440p 32" Curved 144Hz MSI on the side. I have a quite small desk (Ikea powered standing desk 120x80cm) so definitely FV43U is dominating the space. I could describe my usage as 80% work (Ubuntu, software development) and 20% (Windows, mostly some fps and racing games). For now I'm pretty happy about it :) BRG is an issue, thankfully I was able to find a switch on Ubuntu to trigger that so working 9-5 with a lot of text is not an issue. I need to agree about issues with gray color, some kind of blurred spots or veritical smudges are visible. My biggest pain with it is a few dust particles more or less in the middle in my unit :( I would prefer OLED in that price range, but I'm too afraid of the burn-in since in my use case for most of the time static elements are present on the UI, so I decided to buy LG 2021 65" A-series for content consumption :)

Excellent in-depth review Tim! I purchased this monitor 5 months ago and did quite a bit of research prior to pulling the trigger. I came off using a 34" IPS UW X34 monitor and was nervous about BGR pixel layout, VA panel with ghosting and the sheer size of this monster on my desk. I've come here to not disagree with anything Tim found, however I want to add that although extremely detailed reviews including calibrations are awesome, it's good to not get too focused on the random numbers and data in graphs. This same rule applies to worrying about temps of hardware on monitoring software ... Just enjoy the things you buy for their intended purpose. I use my FV43U for 8-10 hours per day, mostly for work and haven't really experience any major issues with text clarity after a MS clear type fix. The viewing angles are not up to IPS level but I've found the compromise for 4000:1 contrast has been worth it. My room is dark and the monitor doubles as a TV so the deep blacks have been wonderful. I play a mix of games and haven't felt that colour profiles or changing modes (Balance, speed etc) is necessary, rather I leave it on Balanced and just enjoy the amazing massive display. The KVM feature is something I use dozens of times per day and is a feature more monitors need! If you want a massive monitor and are not afraid of burn in, get an OLED, but if you don't have the desk space like me and like some of the other features like VESA support, DP and the KVM switch don't look back, this monitor is very good.

Thank you very much for reviewing it i appreciate it :)

Finally! I've been waiting for review of this one

THANKYOU !! I bought this Monitor for its Price Point, Size, and Features. I Love the Monitor bit have been waiting for this review and explanation so I could Calibrate and know which settings to use ideally !!

Excellent review as always. I hope everyone appreciate how much time you put into these.

It's hilarious how much tech UKpostsrs don't like this monitor, but when you see one at Best Buy for $600 it was too hard to pass up and I have been a monitor snob/PC enthusiast for years now. I can tell you right now, these guys are spoiled AF if they think this is a bad panel.

Thanks for this honest review! Keep up the good work

I currently own this monitor and this review really hits the nail on the head! I feel that the screen is a big step up over the ASUS ROG Swift PG43UQ that I owned mid last year, but 4k 43" screens are still not really ticking all the boxes to justify their pricetag. That said, my only fallback for a screen of this size is a Korean 39" AMH A339U from 2014, so the quality of these screens is still streets ahead of that! I'll keep a keen eye out for the 42" OLEDs next year!

Big monitors rock. I have been using a 40" Philips 4K for gaming for 5+ years now and it is just more immersive. Being a older thing it is just a 60 Hz unit, but it is a VA panel so contrast ratio is great - so good in fact that viewing something 21:9 the black part of the screen are so black it sort of emulates a 21:9 panel. At work I use a 43" Acer that is a IPS panel, it is fine as well but I prefer the VA panel and also size wise the 40" is better. Note on using the big screens in general, do prioritize the monitor stand allows it to sit low ie. close to the desk surface since else the top of the screen will be to high to be comfortable.

Thank you for this - SUPER helpful.

I've been using a cheap LG 43" 60hz 4k TV as monitor for about a year now. Used mostly for gaming on immersive titles (Elder Scrolls/Fallout/Kingdom Come/Cyberpunk) and the sheer size of the screen is enough to make up for all the downsides it has. I wouldnt trade it for an "amazing/high tech" SMALLER monitor ever.

This is an overwhelming amount of data. Great presentation and amazing data. Thank you

I have it and I freakin love it, it's sitting in the same room with a 65" C9 oled tv and I swear to God I prefer gaming on the aorus. I see many people complaining about quality issues but I've been lucky enough not to have any. Only annoyance was messing with the monitor settings until the image was as expected. I love the size, HDR, brightness, colors and especially contrast. I can't recommend this behemoth enough

Good review! I do have 1 suggestion however: For the Monitor reviews, add a small section for DCC/CI testing/comment (if it works at all), as it seems monitor manufacturers are doing whatever they want with this and not following the VESA SPEC (LG in particular seems to be very bad here). For those who are not aware DCC/CI is the communication protocol developed by VESA for software control of monitor functions (brightness, color, input etc). This is what allows manufacturers to build software to control their monitors (although most of them are limited, in particular with software input selection) Currently there seem to not be a comprehensive list of monitors which fully support DCC/CI, coupled with video cards (as there are cases where design/firmware bugs impede this). I think we can all benefit from more and better software functionality for monitors and raising awareness of these issues with the PC community will help with manufacturers correcting their bad practices. (Please upvote so @Hardware Unboxed team can see this and possibly comment or address this in future videos)

I just got one a couple months ago on a killer sale & this monitor has been nothing short of a gaming beast, which is exactly what it's advertised to be. It's also great for movies / tv shows, though, admittedly I have to switch between the hdr game & movie settings as needed. Both my PS5 & PC look amazing & the bonus line out port makes switching the shared video AND shared sound system between the two perfectly seamless - and without tying up the headset port. I did have to dial in the settings at first, but it's pretty straight forward. I also have none of the color distortions the reviewer had & at max settings on PC I have crystal clear text - I can only guess that these old issues have since been fixed with firmware updates.

I have a 43" q60a for my primary display, I've had a 43" tv before, and a 42 before that as the primary. You definitely need a deep desk and a bit of a more relaxed seating position to get the most out of it in games. I couldn't do it as my primary here at the office for sure since this desk is narrow and wide. I couldn't see myself grabbing this monitor though, when the cost is so high. it's over 60hz sure, but mini led is right around the corner for screens in this size and even with a 3080, driving over 60 in 4k on high fidelity games is going to be a hard sell. I can say, I can't really go back down in screen size though. 43 is the sweet spot if you have a deep enough desk and if you use the pc to watch movies etc on though. It's definitely a unique experience.

I have this monitor and can game at 120 FPS on PS5 . I just want people to know that because there in no issue with the HDMI ports like said in this video.

I'm a FV43U owner. My graphics card is the AMD 6800XT, AMD CPU 5950x, 128gb RAM. As an artist that rely on Photoshop 98% of my daily life and uses an IPS cintiq pro 24" as a second monitor, I really like it's Adobe color space and total width/height real estate. Also my desk is deep, basically a 74" widex 42" deep island on an ergonofis stand-up legs (which can hold up to 300lbs). Both of my monitors are held by an ergotron-HX FV43U/LX for my cintiq, all in all I sit at around 50" from my screen, which is excellent. The problem with the FV43U is, lets be honest, the discrepancy in-between every unit. I've never seen that many roller-coaster reviews for a monitor, and I'm glad mine has: - No Dead Pixel - Nice Color Coverage - Great Gamma Uniformity (quite, not perfect but pretty damn good) - No Frame/Hardware issues. But MANY reviews are very negative and I feel lucky but also understand how much people would be against this screen. I did have issues with the display port when running the basic 1.0 firmware, but the 4.0 beta solved every issues I had. I played FarCry 6, Forza Horizon 5, New World, and many others. I'll be honest that yes, this screen has dark smearing, but its inconsistant through-out games. When you hit the 144fps refrash rate it's barely noticable, but if you dip lower in the 50-60-70 range it is visible. That would be the only major con, but is also the con of every VA panels. It's a sad story, this screen, I'm just glad I don't have a lemon. I don't plan on changing even if LG releases 42", I'd wait on Samsung and put my money on them in like 3-4 years to get their high-end 4k high refresh rate "cream of the crop". Great video as always HWUB! EDIT: Some typos

The best inch for my desk is from 24/27 as the more the harsh on my desk to fit in or even eyes and neck can feel comfortable. I got the LG 27 GN650-B and love the HDR process when play game on it. Show details pretty good and enjoy it to the max. Thx for the review but will stick with 27 inches monitor display.

I have been waiting for this review.

What monitor/s would you recommend to use to make video content for people who own 'average' TV's and monitors? There are some amazing products out there but details which looks great on a great TV or monitor may not show on an 'average' screen. Both picture and frame rate may affect the overall experience if content looks 'broken' on cheap displays...

Thanks for the awesome review

I haaaaaaaate that the reviewer is always ALWAYS comparing 40+” monitors to tiny 27” monitors rather than other 40+” monitors. If you’re looking for that size as an all-rounder for office/gaming/TV you’re not going to be looking at smaller than this. Also OLED is a “hell no” because of the burn in and office work. - I like the review format, but the comparisons are worthless.

Bought one of these not long ago and use it for sim racing, and am happy with it. Even getting it for $200 off meant paying $1500 and try to avoid telling anybody that, as it really wasn't the sort of money I should have spent on a monitor. I wanted picture quality and high refresh rate, and that's what I have. A couple of negatives, if you could call them that, would be it's inexplicable thickness, more like a TV than a monitor, and the position of the I/O panel at the opposite end to the power connector. A right angle DP cable would be good too, as the straight angle cable sticks out beyond the monitor.

I've used this monitor for a few months now and I view it as a jack of all trades. It's not the best at anything, but it is at least decent for all the things I care about in a way no other 40"+ monitor that doesn't totally break the bank is. The colours and contrast are not as good as an OLED, but far better than my TN an both my IPS panels, and I do a lot of desktop work where I don't want to risk burn-in with an OLED. The speed isn't as good as my 27" TN, but as someone with a few thousand hours in Overwatch, if I wanted to grind back to top 1% this monitor wouldn't be the thing holding me back. Also, the HDR may not be as good as with full-array local dimming, but for how much I use HDR, adding that wouldn't be worth the price premium for me. All the other monitors I found either lack severely in one of those areas or are way over a grand. There are better options under 40", but I like the size.

Judging from your review and the specs of this monitor, I'd say Gigabyte is using the same 43" VA panel as the AOC G4309VX/D, which I recently picked up for use with my Asus TUF 4090 mainly for Microsoft Flight Simulator, but also for web browsing and as a TV and video streaming. I was a bit bummed about the semi gloss screen, as I expected a matt panel, and the screen darkening and washout on the extreme left and right sides can be very noticeable with solid pale still images, but is usually unnoticeable in games and especially video content. The reds on the AOC were also oversaturated with a ghastly pink vibrancy that jarred, until I found a solution with vibrancy control and a 7% adjustment to hue in NVCP. Text for me on what probably is the same panel is very clear. In Microsoft Flight Sim the panel is glorious and just the right size...40-43" 4K really is a great size for all use scenarios now. Despite the HDR claim being a bit of a joke the panel is still great to watch 4K streaming on from Netflix. The first video I tried was that nature reserve doco narrated by Barak Obama and I was surprisingly impressed, the contrast and colours were way better than my high end 32" 1440p IPS monitor, in fact I was blown away by the black levels and overall pop, thanks to the non matt screen. Right now there's still a dearth of truly decent 43" 4K 144Hz, adaptive sync monitors available, so this will do for now.

How could you not recommend this monitor?? Seems like major nitpicking.. like major nitpicking. Using this monitor for gaming on PC and PS5 and it's sick. if you're reading this comment this monitor will not disappoint.

I bought this when it first premiered and teased in Q2 2021. Got it around April / May. I’ve been using it since. It has served me very well with 4K AAA content gameplay on the 3090. Honestly , one can get better 4K monitors at a lower panel size, but tbh, there was no HDR1000 monitor available at the time that were released recently. For $999 , I didn’t mind since I came from a predator X27p. The one thing I noticed between the trade off was the ghosting from playing battle field V, but it wasn’t that bad tbh. The view angle does cut off like a millimeter of screen detail if you’re aren’t looking center. The blacks are not perfect, however the frame rates and HDR and overall 4K gaming combined on a big screen makes me forget the impurities of the VA panel. You hardly notice the lack of color depth (IPS has better colors) from the VA panel. I think if I ever upgrade again front this panel, it would have to be a mini LED. I refuse to buy into OLED because of the ‘burn in’ drawback. If you want a big panel with avg to good on everything , this is a good pick ( for 4K gaming). Otherwise, stick to the 32inch IPS monitors. Also, get a wall mount or a floor stand to mount this beast.

I have this monitor. Was either this or the LG oled of similar size. I dont regret my decision. I will NEVER have to worry about burn in, no gimmicks to refresh the panel to prevent burn in etc. Watch HW unboxed video on his experience with burn in, he shows that burn in will occur.

I feel like this review doesn't convey the real world experience of the monitor. I purchased this coming from an x34 which in 2017 cost me 1500. This monitor cost the same and it's amazing in comparison. What I love is the size, the brightness, the colours pop and the gaming experience. For reference I play Squad and use it for work everyday spreadsheets etc. I purchased a wall mount so it's about a meter from where I sit. After using this form factor I will never go back to an ultrawide.

If the display has four I puts, one for a xbox, a second for TV/firestick input, and two inputs that can be fed from a graphics card... So long as the monitor allows four simultaneous inputs I found that two inputs from the pc can be side by side on the bottom of the screen to effectively display a 3840x1080 display for work, the top two displays for distraction. Never really enjoyed using windows aligned to the top of the screen

Great review. You went Savage on this one. I purchased the LG C1, if you have. Big desk and only use the monitor for movies and gaming you will be ok. Amazon was selling the LGC1 for a 1000 USD.

I will let the early adapters of Oled Pc Monitor gamers do my burn in test for me. I will stick with this. Really happy with it so far.

You guys got any recommendations for 27" 1440p high refresh VA panel? Already have an IPS (LG 27GL850), but I'm looking for a second display with better dark and contrst levels mainly for single player use. I think the 1000R curve on the Samsung G7 is a little too much for someone coming from flat panels and planning on using it for productivity as well.

Would like to give an update on this monitor. Just pick it up as of Oct/2022. Firmware is F07. No build or quality issues, surprisingly little to no bleeding, no dirty screen with only one dead pixel in upper left corner on screen. Panel is dated June/2022. Out of box I'd say it has a solid picture. little overly bright for my taste. Firmware updates seem to have fixed issues with BGR pixel layout and text. Few changes in Windows and text is good. After adjusting setting picture is perfect. Ghosting is not an issue unless your a hardcore FPS gamer, then it might be a small issue depending on your sensitivity to it. Overall its a great monitor for gaming/movie viewing. If your doing some side work with video/photo editing then you can get away with it. Color accuracy is pretty spot on with viewing angle being my only complaint. But its a VA so its expected. With price drop as of recent to me its a no brainer.

Not sure I could game on a 43" screen in a desk setting, but I've been using a 43" 4k TV for work for over a year and I find it much more usable than multiple monitors. I can have numerous windows open without needing to pan my head much in any direction.

Hopefully next year will be the year for proper 4K HDR mini LED gaming monitors of 32 inch or so because this year was personally pretty dissapointing (looking at you ASUS PG32UQX and Samsung G9 Neo)

After giving up trying to find a 27-28" 4K high refresh rate monitor that has very good HDR, HDMI 2.1, VRR, and good input lag, I ended up just keeping my very good low cost Samsung LU28R 4K/60hz display for my desktop use, and turn my chair 90 degrees to view my TCL 65" R646. For $999(on sale) you get HDMI 2.1 inputs, THX Certified Game mode combining low input lag, VRR, and 4K/120hz, full bandwidth 48gbs, QLED display with 240 mini-led backlight zones, VA panel so great contrast and amazing color and over 1000nits peak HDR. I love the LG C1 which is a notch or two better in every way but just not willing to chance longer term burn in...and at $999 right now this TCL is just a steal. The 55" is only $650 right now (160 backlight zones). Make the room for it people.

was hovering over the buy button as it's on special at PCCG right now, and this review informed me that while the HDR performance is pretty nuts (if a tad deceptive due to omission of local dimming) and the VA panel is reproducing contrast and colour well enough, as expected, it's the _refresh rate_ going around writing cheques the response times just can't cash. . . and that's one of the most important features playing at high frame rates Sigh...the search continues.

I really enjoy my LG 43" 43UD79-B. IPS 60Hz. Matte finish. I've had it for a couple years now mounted on my wall with a desk that is pretty deep. the only negative is side shadows (5-7 pixels depending on angle of view) from the side bezzles. Works very well and have been glad I got it. I do want 120Hz on a future version, but I've not found one that seems ultimately better. Tempted with LG 48" OLED, but not happy with non-matte screen and burn-in.

Great review. Do you think this monitor will be OK for triple screen sim racing? Nothing competitive.

Was just about to order a 32inch 4K 144hz monitor. Glad this dropped before I purchased.

Hello, I am using KTC G48P5 OLED monitor to play games. I tested several games like Resident Evil 3/2/8, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. And I found the dark region is not so clear as the OLED should be. So I tried to set the "dark balance" of the monitor from 50 to 100, it got much better, BUT the bright things like sunlight is distorted. That means I can't get a natural visual from that OLED monitor by setting the "dark balance". So I want to buy a non-oled monitor like this one to see if it gets better. I noticed that this monitor has a similar function "dark balance" to improve the darkness clarity, but I'm not sure whether this feature also increases the overall brightness just as the KTC does. If it affects only the dark region, I think it's OK for me to buy it. Could you please take some tests on that function? Thank you in advance!

I have horizontal 43 lg un7300 and vertical 30 dell perfect setup. I went from 5-6 monitors to 2 Follow rtings settings guide and change input to pc and use rtings chroma 4:4:4 test image to ensure its working.

I have this monitor and their are a couple of problems i have with it. Firstly as a secondary monitor to my apple laptop the screen is purple due to the apple sending incorrect colour format, which is resolved attaching a 2nd external monitor :( and i cant find anything in macos to allow me to specify the colour format to use. Secondly the backlight diming seems entire screen and i can see anything for 'local' diming for any sectors/regions of the screen. If the general screen area is bright the whole screen gets notably brighter, and if the whole screen is darker (even with white/light areas) the whole screen dims which is very irritating and noticeable so i disabled this in the menu. Thirdly it gets VERY VERY HOT and sitting close to it for long times will dry your eyes, yes that much heat. Having a monitor mounted webcam makes the cam viewing angle a little awkward as its so high up on this monitor. I cant seem to get anything to be visible on the screen over the usb-c port. I have tested the usb-c output on my 6900xt, apple macbook and my legion laptop and yes it was enabled in the menu which is disabled by default. The KVM switch is configurable via the old style square usb connector and not via the usb-c port. When other displays are connected the software will sometimes refuse to open on windows stating multiple FV43U monitors are found and it can only support one, this happens sometimes with any other monitor such as the Samsung G7 but not always but meaning i really dont count the windows software as existing and just use the Monitor menu and remote. When configuring the KVM you can assign which usb output matches which display inputs which could be related to the usb-c input issue i have? I havent found reflections on the screen to be any issue, even living here in southern spain and sitting by my balcony doors and the sun blaring in but you can still see the screen content. My samsung monitors might as well be black in the height of summer they are so dim. On my monitor Windows does report 4k 120hz when connected to my 6900xt using hdmi so not sure if this is a region thing or the ports vary by region? I havent noticed any text issues on windows, linux of macos output so not sure about the pixel layout. Maybe they changed the model hardware at some point? I bought mine in August 2021 in Spain (EU). I also got a colour calibration document and havent noticed any colour issues on my unit? The text is extremely crips with no leading or trailing blur which i've seen on other screens that have odd pixel layouts. As mentioned the highest brightness, such as when the camera looks at the sun in HDR movies will make you look away its blindingly bright. (while sitting at a desktop gaming distance) For the viewing angle on mine, yes it gets a little blander when viewing from extreme angles (above to the sides etc) but not as much as any of my laptops, other samsung monitors (various) or my LG TV. Even looking at a side on view (close to 90 as you can get while still seeing the front of the monitor) you can still see the content, its still bright and you can still tell what colours it is. Usually i have the laptop (apple or windows depending on task) connected over the hdmi though, and use the displayport for my desktop. Almost exclusively with HDR enabled. Most of my usage is in programming where the real estate is useful and at 60hz. I do game on it but dont generally bother with 144hz or 4k as not all the games i play support those without issue. (X series games, Civ series etc). I trust in Hardware Unboxed and fully feel that the model I have is different even with the same model number. Perhaps the model changes per region or have changed over time as I do seem to have different experience with mine. Overall my opinion is. If you are restricted for real world space like me and your PC screen doubles as your main living room movie watching screen and you need to use a work laptop along with a personal media/gaming desktop then you can argue for this panel as its good overall. But if you have the space for multiple monitors and have a different gaming PC and living room media setup, I'd look at other options. This is to expensive for what it offers in any one area. Not bad but only really for specific use cases.

Thanks for sharing

Had this for half a week now, after returning a Samsung Neo G7 43" due to a plethora of software bugs, insane ghosting and generally just being a Samsung monitor. G-Sync will not work on this Aorus monitor, for me at least (on a 4090 - monitor keeps blacking out during gaming), but capping the fps to 140 and turning on adaptive sync seems to work well enough. I don't much care for the insane reflection levels of the panel either, but other than that I am surprisingly pleased with it. The black levels, when the ambient lighting conditions are right - as in very low - are good, colors are even better and the HDR seems to work decently for games at least. Ghosting is visible, but far less than the Neo G7 43". I can never get a smaller monitor now for PC gaming.

Wait for the 2022 LG 42“ OLED if you don‘t mind the risk of burn in. But with the new Evo panels the risk could be even further minimized.

got the LG C1 48 inch before few monts from the review video of the tv that you did.is phenomenal as a main pc display paired with rx6900xt for 4k gaming , never used my 27 inch 1440p monitor again , collecting dust only is amayzing for HDR movies and HDR gaming and have the best pric, not to mention the speakers have dolby atmos build in

I'm using a "cheapo" Acer ET430k, a 43" 4k 60Hz display. Nothing to shout about but I went from a 21" 1080p and wanted a _basic_ 4k monitor. At the price it was being sold, I had to get it!

Just got this today, so far so good.

Can this be split into 4 screens for productivity / work from one machine?

2.1 input means you CAN USE the ps5 and series x at max settings correct??? At 120 fps? All other reviews on the internet, and people I've talked too say this is made for the consoles, I'm a bit confused upon your review as it strays away from all the others,,, can you explain what you mean by you can't get full or best experience on this monitor with this 2.1 on console specifically when it comes to the hz and fps

Did you notice a problem with FV43U where near the edges of the screen backlight cuts out and doesn't illuminate the pixels when you sit at proper monitor distance?

What 32 inch monitor do you recommend for the ps5? Thank you

What would u recommend for 60hz if I want the best response time speed or balance?

What is the best 4k 21:9 monitor for gaming and photo/color/video editing and digital painting?

I bought one of these just to play grand strategy and colony management games... CK3 (map looks insane at 43" 4K), Stellaris, Rimworld, settlement survival etc all look awesome on this... I dont know if this would be my first pick for FPS games though, but for my use case its a good choice

I have this monitor and I now love it but it took me a while to adjust to it. Firstly it is obviously VERY large for a monitor so you will want to have a very big desk. I found that at first I felt like I needed to change the settings for every game as far as colour goes but the presets did the job but it was frustrating at first. I found ghosting to be pretty horrific and it took me a lot of tinkering to get a good compromise between speed and limits on ghosting. I kept my Acer Predator in event I didn't like this screen and at first I felt I had made a big mistake getting this. However now I have got used to it and found settings where I don't get bad ghosting and it still feel speedy and I am happy now. I don't like HDR so I don't use that but I find the adaptive sync works well and I get no tearing and it feels smooth. A screen this big makes for very immersive gaming and I play everything from Dead by Daylight to PUBG with this monitor, though it probably is suited to the former rather than latter. Overall I recommend it after being very unsure like others are. Oh of course you are gonna need a decent GPU but that goes without saying. I have a 3080 Ti so I can play most games at decent settings and frame rates

I've gone from a 27' 1440p screen to a 49' OLED (CX) and I really worried it would be too much. I don't think I could ever go back to a smaller screen. It's wall mounted and just far enough away that it's not too much but so incredibly immersive for gaming. With some window resizing it's better for me than multiple screens. I absolutely love it.

Does the asus xg43uq use same panels as the gigabyte been thinking of buying it mostly for movies and gaming

I had this monitor but it had major QA issues. The screen on the right side had major artifacting and flickering on all inputs. Returned for an oled.

Did you make any research on a topic that I call VA Contrast Lottery? When purchasing G7, for example, I saw varying results with contrast raging from 1700 to 3700. I know it's hard to test the spread without many monitors, but mentioning that you might not get the tested result may be important.

I'd sure like to see the ViewSonic ELITE XG270Q reviewed and compared. It's supposed to be the updated version of the XG270QG with HDMI 2.0 instead of 1.4 allowing 1440 at 120fps on XBox series X; while the XG270QG can only get 60 fps even on DisplayPort.

Watching this on my Asus PG43UQ, outstanding gaming/working/media consumption experience with that size. I hope that we will get something similar with DP2.0 next year.

Can you please review the GIGABYTE AORUS FI32Q-X 32INCH 270HZ monitor? I just released in most retail stores.

Almost picked one up to replace my old Phillips momentum as it was available in last week sales for around 800 euros.. never bothered in the end as i could not find enough reviews. Mainly use it as a secondary monitor and movie watching.

How Bad Is the Response Time Vs Contrast ratio ? I Would like to buy a 4k monitor with the best contrast ratio, ( deep black) but I see that they are slow. How bad is this for FPS?

I can't get my head around using a 42 inch for a monitor at normal viewing distance and finding a desk that can easily fit one 42 inch monitor would be difficult. And the edges would be so far away from the center that I would probably have difficulty seeing the peripheral areas clearly. I have used 17 to 35 and for me at normal viewing distances where I am gaming a 32 inch is more than enough. I can position the secondary monitors as close or as far from my seated position as I want. Doing productivity work 32 inch is also more than enough. My desk currently has two monitors on it (two 27 inch) and I guess I am just comfortable with this setup as I have work divided evenly with my focus on the screen in front of me with secondary items on side screen. But when gaming on 32 I find myself looking around to focus on peripheral areas but on productivity work I like the larger 32 inch monitor. I myself find 27-32 best for normal distance sitting on a desk to where I sit with my keyboard and mouse.

I just bought this (2021 model) ($770) and couldn't tell you if I'm impressed or not. I would suggest that you offer a no0b rating on future videos -- based on how many wtf's are needed to set up a device. There are so many options for settings it's making my head swim.

I was waiting for this monitor to get review here! Thanks for that. I have samsung g7 32 currently but would love a bigger screen. Id prefer choosing an Oled but i also use the computer for work and work with alot of static images so im kinda afraid of buying an oled for my desktop.

Is there a 32" version of this!?? I'm very worried about va ghosting tho

Can you change the monitor resolution to an ultrawide resolution? It's really useful for gaming but doing it with software has some issues.

signs about a lg 42" oled in 2022 are arising again .. atm they stay my glimmer of hope for a strong contrast mointor with great metrics ... but i hope CES2022 will show some upcoming non oled alternatives with good contrast.

Accordingly to some reviews this monitor doesn't support 24p video, causing issues when watching movies and other 24p video content. Can you share your experience with this?

i thought i should buy an 43 inch monitor, but after switching to a 32 flat from 34 curved ultrawide, i have trouble adjusting to even that size in a regular 16x9 flatscreen. Its so big, my eyes think its curved outwards.

I've got the philips 43" ultrawide at work. My main complaint is that I don't think the 4k resolution is high enough - there are very visible jagged edges on the diagonal lines of letters. My 2k Dell u2711 looks much better.

had a 4k 42" philips monitor, and i ultimately switched back to 32". which is the absolutely largest screen i'll ever buy again for a pc. 42" is too big. simple as that. playing some strategy game or e.g. dota2, i've had to use windowed mode and use only part of my monitor. otherwise it's too big to be useful. same for working/windows usage. only racing games and maybe _some_ shooters are okayish to play with it. either get a 32" 16:9, or a 21:9 screen if you absolutely need that ultrawide picture.

Pretty happy with my 48" c1 oled for gaming with priority on quality , and 32" samsung g7 with priority on framerates

My cg437k is everything I could want in a monitor with the exception of oled but oled still has alot of work to do before I adopt

Got the asus 28 in tuf gaming thats 4k and good enough for me. 32 would be the max if i went bigger as i used to have a 34 in ultrawide before selling it.

I had this monitor but the ghosting was awful, but picked it up since I could take advantage of 4K/144 on my 2080 Ti. However I was able to get a hold of a 3080 and replaced this monitor with an LG C1, took advantage of 4K/120 from HDMI 2.1 and haven’t looked back. It was incredible. Don't get me wrong, the FV43U was not terrible and I had fun, but 4K/120 using HDMI 2.1 from my brand new 3080 was simply a much better experience overall. The blacks are so perfect you hardly notice the lack of brightness.

does this display uses the same technology as the samsung qled or neo quled ?

What is the camera exposure time for the UFO test?

I've had this for about 2 months and it fits the bill for me. I game casually but 90% of this use is for productivity. It's really minimized the cabling with a single DP cable out of my desktop, a single thunderbolt cable out from my work laptop, and my keyboard/mouse are plugged into the monitor. Works fantastic when I need to switch between devices and only need one KVM setup. The large size is great for productivity since I can snap my windows into the 4 21.5" quadrants. Also a nice perk not listed was that the thunderbolt port CHARGES!!! Albeit very slowly, it does charge my laptop and make it where I don't also have to run another cable for charging. This checks a lot of boxes for me and plays MSFS perfectly fine imo.

I find my LG 49" ultrawide isn't curved nearly enough for my liking, so I'd be concerned a 43" flat screen would bother me, though that'd only be 37.5" of horizontal width versus my current 45".

Could you also review Acer Predator CG437k in comparison to this monitor please??

I've had this monitor for a couple months now and it's amazing, compared to my 6 year old 27" 1440p monitor its an amazing upgrade, especially since I've got an RTX 3080 to run it. It's definitly not ideal for competitive shooters but got games like Farming Simulator, Horizon Zero Dawn and Far Cry 6 the size, colour, brightness and resolution is amazing from what I was use too. I did concider the 48" OLED model but I didn't want to deal with burn in. While it was very expensive and very large (obviosuly) it's definitly the center peice for my setup and I'm super happy with it. I can't go back to anything smaller.

I'm not sure if any other company is able to match Samsung's panel with VA technology. Though expensive, seems like Samsung is the only one who knows how to make an amazing VA panel that can beat IPS panels in many circumstances

My god this screen is amazing hes hating on it here but got it yesterday holy hell dude it will sear your retinas colors etc wow

What is "worth to buy price" for this fv43u? I found this from second hand market and it cost me 640 euros. Was it good deal?

can it used as SMART TV, with fire-stick or setup box (HDMI)?

I had the asus 43" 4K 120hz for almost 2 years, and I loved it, it was too slow though, and I feel like 43" is a bit too large for 4K; I'm back to a 32" 165hz as of now and I feel it's the perfect choice for colors, speed and resolution. Maybe in the future when 8K hardware and gaming will be a thing I might switch to 43" again, before then I'll just go for 32"

I got this monitor as a TV substitute and for the PS5. The weaknesses with the backlight are somewhat noticeable and the limited viewing angles certainly are. I'd be hesitant to put it on my desk, for sure, but overall I'm quite content with its performance in my intended use cases. While I'm still looking into getting a soundbar or other proper audio setup, the monitor's speakers aren't terrible and will tide me over nicely. The market is pretty limited when it comes to 4K monitors at 42" or larger, 120+Hz with HDMI 2.1. Of the available options this one's the cheapest, by a noticeable amount. Of course, you have more options if you are okay with a TV as well - which for dumb, local reasons (it'd cost an extra 316€ in fees per year), I am not.
