Ahh the PG32UCDM! This is best panel I have ever seen, I love mine but the only downside is when it's off the coil whine is crazy loud, almost louder than my system.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Are there even coil-whine-less displays anymore ?

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

All of them if you use one of these

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

?

I mean, when the display is on

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The commenter implies your coil whine comes from "dirty power" from your power strip (not a perfect sine wave). This may or may not be the case, so it's at least one thing you can try out.

TIL monitors still have coil whine. Not sure when was the last time I heard one

That panel is as expensive as my OLED TV lol

Not sure if he's thinking about a second monitor or a second smoke.

Anyone here ever used curved monitors? I'm seeing them come down in price and wonder if it's cool enough to get

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Unless they are huge and ultra-wide, I don't see the point. They don't add anything at small sizes except a certain aesthetic. At large sizes, it's a quality of life improvement as things on the edges are closer than with flat screens. They were more expensive when I looked for them, so test it for the 14-30 day return period and see if you actually like it.

This makes a lot of sense, thanks :)

[–] rice@lemmy.org 7 points 3 days ago

I hate them, wife loves them.. so good luck lol

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

I have one, only because it was an open-box special. I don't really notice a difference compared to a flat screen when I'm immersed in a game or whatever.

[–] dodos@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I like my ultrawides curved, but wouldn't want a 16:9 curved.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Curved monitors at 32" or less are pointless imo. But I have a 55" curved and it's glorious. The immersion is on par with VR.

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago

That sounds like a nice setup, and no head goggles

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have a 32inch flat, wouldn't recommend that size unless curved.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

lol. I have a 50 inch flat screen on my desk. You can get used to anything. Though my desk is almost a meter deep and the screen sits right on the edge.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 days ago

The color distortion around the edges bug me. The view distance matters a lot. Mine is on an arm, it's close when I working.

Media consumption is fine

they can provide headaches if you stare at them too long (and are playing 2d games) (too long may be >20 hours)

Laughable, I think about MINUTES!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 3 days ago

By using 2 small screens extremely close to my face, I can have a whole plethora of screens virtually. 😏
