Laptop External Monitor help,

PachoHerrera — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 22:08:22 +0800

Hi, i purchased Arzopa 16" External monitor for laptop dual monitor setup. This monitor shall only serve for light work (listening to youtube etc) while my laptop display is where i game.

My laptop has internal Intel Graphic and Nvidia 2060 GPU (Commandos Carbine 4)

Upon setting up the monitor, i found out that :

Display 1 (laptop display) : is connected to Intel Graphic
Display 2 (Arzopa) : is connected to NVIDIA 2060.

Now as i mentioned above, all my gaming is done to the Laptop display (display 1) which is not ideal since it is connected to the onboard graphic.

Is there any way to swapped Nvidia as my Display 1?

Any help and advice is appreciated.

Is a 32 inch monitor too big ?, Will it causes eye strain

3dwin014 — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 11:00:36 +0800

Hi, I am replacing my recent spoilt Dell S2722DGM which is a 27" 1440p VA panel,165Hz monitor. I have a desk of 140 cm x 70 cm. I have been using the 27" for a few years and find it quite comfortable and a good fit. Now that I am buying a new one. Considering to upgrade to 32" but having a concern that will the 32" too big and will fell tired on the eyes easily for my setup? I usually sit around 2ft away. But can still maximize the space to 2.5 ft away. I use it mainly for web browsing, light work, movie and mainly gaming.

Did some research and currently eyeing on the new LG monitor. Also planning to upgrade my graphic card from GTX1660S to RTX 4060Ti in a few months.
1. 27GS85Q ( 27" 1440p Nano IPS)
2. 32GS85Q-B ( 32" 14440p Nano IPS)

ikki9394 — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 18:20:24 +0800

Hi all,

Just looking for some recommendation for a 27” monitor for multimedia(Netflix and work). Don’t really need a powerful one and don’t really play games. Just nice graphic for Netflix will do.

It’s a secondary monitor beside main.

Brand preference: nope

Thanks

27" Essential Monitor S3 S31C, can I use resolution 2560 x 1440?

Davidtcf — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 17:12:24 +0800

hi, I just bought a 27" Essential Monitor S3 S31C. I did not know that it supported up to 1920 x 1080 resolution only at its official website: https://www.samsung.com/my/monitors/flat/es...ls27c310eaexxs/

however to use at that resolution means pixels and my wallpaper itself not as sharp.

I then went to my Nvidia settings and increase the resolution to 2560 x 1440, which is the recommended resolution for a 27" monitor.

I'm using a nvidia geforce gtx 1080i which I checked can support this resolution, but question is long term use will it harm the monitor? There's a disclaimer when I changed the resolution at Nvidia settings that it might damage my monitor.

Anyone in such a situation? I tried googling this Samsung monitor and this 2560 x 1440 resolution but could not find any answers.

If I know earlier so complicated just stick to old 24", hope sifus can advice here.
One day if got spare money will upgrade my PC, but for now just use for casual gaming and do work only.

Monitor Recommendation,

siang930615 — Sun, 26 May 2024 16:54:43 +0800

Hi Guy,

Do you have any recommendations for an IPS panel monitor? My old PC is still using a GTX970, and I don't plan to upgrade it anytime soon. However, I need an additional monitor for light work and gaming, such as Dota 2 and Genshin Impact.

My current monitor is a 1080p 60Hz screen. I'm looking to buy another monitor, preferably 24-inch or 27-inch, and maybe with a higher refresh rate.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Budget below 1k.

Acer XB271HU Faulty Issue, Multiple images

piggy2008 — Tue, 07 May 2024 20:00:25 +0800

Hi everyone. I am having issue with my 6+ year old monitor XB271HU. The photo taken as below. I'll try to describe it as best as I can.

The image will duplicate and flow up horizontally like rain except upwards.

Could any sifu kindly advise on whether what could be the main cause of the problem? Whether it is easy enough for me to repair it, or send to someone for repair or just buy a new one, and if so, what model is recommended? My max budget is 1.5k. Hoping to have better specs than my current monitor. Tqtq.

Dell monitor issue,

dragon528 — Thu, 02 May 2024 09:46:41 +0800

Hi all, is the monitor panel confirmed dead? Is it repairable and how much does it cost?

Suddenly got a lot of lines and it blur now, barely can see the font.

Horizontal Lines On 2 Monitor,

earlgrey77 — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 09:21:33 +0800

Hi everyone,

In early Feb, horizontal lines appeared on my Phillips monitor. Warranty period just expired and to be fair I used it very often.

So I use my wife's monitor thereafter. Now, horizontal lines appeared again.

Before I get a third monitor, any potential idea what caused it?

I tried google and youtube, but I still cant find the cause.

Also, if you know anyone who is able to repair both monitors, please PM me.

I appreciate your opinion on this matter.

Thank you.

Dell G32232Q vs AW32225QF, IPS vs QD-OLED Gen 3 4KHDR monitor

Zaryl — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 00:47:57 +0800

I am eyeing between these 2 monitors.

G32232Q - using IPS - price RM2,999
AW32225QF - using QD OLED - RM 5,199
All prices via Dell online website

My typical consumption daily:

70% productivity works (Excel, Word, web browsing, Youtube)
30% PS5 console gaming

Been researching extensively on QD OLED gen 3 monitors. But being an OLED panel display, you certainly can’t avoid the dreaded BURN IN issue yes?
Although Dell gives 3 years warranty for Burn In, still it doesnt warrant confidence especially if burn in happens right after that 3 years warranty.

QD OLED gen 3 anti / minimization of burn in mechanism is proven, or it’s still questionable?

Asus XB27AQ Monitor Wake Issue?,

Lozy — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 16:40:42 +0800

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpY13NJD6pI

I have XB273U as my primary monitor and two XG27AQ as side monitors
Both of my secondary monitors XG27AQ have the same exact issue, so I'm thinking it's related to software and not hardware
It seems like it struggled to startup, one of the monitors stucked at this screen for 20minutes before it fixed itself, another one would take more than that to correct itself.
Every boot up from a shutdown will have this wake issue

Anyone knows what this is about?
Talked to Asus's CS and they advised me to buy DP cable instead
I'm thinking its related to power supply

Set laptop auto display to external monitor, Laptop screen kaput dy

babylon52281 — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 12:42:38 +0800

Hey guys, im not 100% sure if this is the right place to ask but here is the thing;

My long serving laptop monitor has kaput and now I cannot see what happens when I turn it on. I tried to power ON laptop with the video cable connected to an external monitor but after waiting still no display (monitor goes into power saving mode).

I tried swapping between output VGA and HDMI neither seem to work.

Im well aware external monitors usually can be selected to display in Windows but is there a way to force it to boot display to the monitor instead?

IPS Glow G2724D vs VG27AQL3A,

watermineral — Fri, 26 Jan 2024 17:33:08 +0800

Hi, just want to ask if anyone have experience on Asus VG27AQ IPS monitor, how is your IPS glowing or light bleeding on your monitor? The monitor I got here have very bad light bleeding on the 4 corner which make it very fatiguing to use.

this one is from dell.

and from asus

the bleeding is not as serious from naked eyes but you can make comparison between 2 monitor from picture above.
