![Capshi USB C to DisplayPort 1.4 Cable 6FT, [8K 60Hz, 4K 144Hz/120Hz, 2K 240Hz] 32.4Gbps 5K Type C to DP Braided Cord [Thunder](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81olOMbONPL._AC_UL116_SR116,116_.jpg)
The media could not be loaded.
The price with the promotion was reasonable, the specs was similar to the Sceptre and it is Flat (I don’t like curve monitor).
To use HDR activate it in Windows and in monitor settings and set the SDR content brightness to 100%, but it didn’t convince me, so I don’t use it.
I just noticed that on my AMD System (3700x, RX 5700 XT), the memory clock stays at it’s maximum even at 60 Hz, only on 50hz went down to 200 Mhz, and creating a custom resolution with reduced blanking didn’t work, try to add LCD Standard value to CRU, but it can reach just 119hz not more, this consume more than twice GPU power resulting in more watts, with 50hz the GPU consume 11w - 12w, on 144hz 38 watts, increasing also the temp. My other setup uses HDMI with 100hz on a GTX 1070 TI with no problem, in my experience with other monitors, by using 120hz reduces the memory clock while idle,.
Watching movies was a great experience, because it is Flat, I don’t get that fish effect, the games where amazing and this is where the monitor shines, it was great, did not notice any mayor ghosting, and the size was perfect, much immersive than the LG 34 inch.
Update: I managed to add a 3400x1400, 144hz and 767.76 pixel clock and the display freeze and then no display, it was complicated to troubleshoot it, I end up swapping to an old RX 580 and one ram, boot in safe mode and run reset-all.
+ Price with promotion
+ Size
+ Good color out of the box specially on sRGB
+ Refresh Rate
+ Flat (personal preference)
+ PIP
+ No pointless RGB
+ Square Metal Base (No V shape, takes more space)
+ Auto Input Signal
+ Dynamic Onscreen Refresh
+ DCR (Dynamic Contrast Ratio)
- Packaging could be better, the metal base was loose when I opened it.
- No protection to the screen on packaging except for the cover, screen had stains.
- The arm does not click automatically on the monitor, had to force it.
- Gap for cable management could be set higher to hide cables
- The Dynamic Brightness (or whatever would be) its like always on with HDR active in Windows, and it’s not good (watch included video,)
- Two displayports would be ideal for people with two systems.
- OSD is a pain at first
- No good HDR
- Generic Windows Drivers
- At the time of writing no information on manufacturer website
- Update: Found one dead pixel in the right bottom corner, the task bar was hiding it.
I just had it for few days, and I hope not to have the same experience as my last monitor. In the end, I don’t miss anything of the LG 34GK950F, not even nano-cell technology.
I really like this monitor, it’s not perfect but the price was good.
