Jáá þessi er mega nice. En mér finnst fæturnir á þessum sem tölvuskjá vera soldið turnoff.

Það er ekki auðvelt að snúa honum á svona löppum, væri betra að hafa svona einn miðjufót uppá snúning.

Og það er eitthvað sem er must fyrir mig og mína notkun.

Veggfesting eða borðfesting á armi?

Var ekki búinn að ákveða mig í því.

Þessi sjónvörp, hvort sem LG eða Philips tækið, eru ýmist 10kg eða 13kg

Finnst erfitt að finna flexible stand, hvort sem það er á borði eða vegg, fyrir tæki í þessum þyndgum.

Hvað mæliði með í þeim málum, held að borðfesting á armi myndi henta betur ef það er til í þessum stærðum. En ef það væri veggfesting þá þyrfti hún að geta hreyfst, sem þær eru oftast ekki. Mestmegnis stationary festingar.

Moldvarpan skrifaði:Já ok, þarf að skoða það betur.

Ég var að skoða einhver reviews um lg c3, og þar var verið að fara yfir svona praktískt atriði.

Var verið að tala um að þessi sjónvörp, fara ekki í sleep og vakna upp eins og venjulegir tölvuskjáir.

Þarf að kveikja á þeim í hvert skipti með fjarstýringu. En það var einhver búinn að búa til workaround með það á Asus skjánum skilst mér, á þessum reviews.

Það er ekkert úrval af 42" 120hz OLED tölvuskjám. Mátt alveg linka slíka skjái ef þú finnur.
Fann nokkra 42", en allir 60hz og ekki oled.

If you are considering the Asus PG42UQ, you first should ensure this is the right size for your space. A 42” flat screen is exceptionally large on desktop, but it is more than simply a big screen in your face. At this size you will see substantial distortion on the outer 1/3 of the screen due to differences in eye to screen distance when it is placed at the back of a typical 30” deep desk. You need a minimum of 36-40" viewing distance to make this tolerable. That likely means a wall mount unless you have one of those super deep executive desks. The ideal distance for me is about 44”. That may not be possible for a lot of installations. This is going to be a big adjustment if you are coming from a 34 or 38” curved ultra-wide.

Coming from a 38” UW 3840x1600 I was worried about losing the width and ‘gaming immersion’. The later turned out to be untrue and the very tall screen makes up for a lot. However, it is mostly wasted space when it comes to apps and productivity. Increased distance and sub pixel layout encourages scaling over 100%. I can’t fit more on this screen compared to the 38” UW and it is in less useful places. Using Windows snap tools can help, but that again puts the viewing distance at the forefront. You cannot read a page if half of it is distorted for perspective and color. The PG42UQ does come with some smaller aspect ratios you switch to, but the obvious 3840x1600 is not among them and they all come with strong limitations. No VRR/Gsync in apsect mode. I have a hard time believing any competitive FPS gamer is shopping for 42” 4K screens with a 120Hz max, just so they can shrink the screen to 1920x1080 in the center and lean way in.

If you are convinced you need a 42” 4K OLED, then the next question is if it should be this one. My unit was a March 2023 purchase with a Dec. 2022 manufacture date. It arrived with FW v033 and multiple problems. HDR was extremely washed out over DP 1.4 and moderately affected over HDMI 2.1. The monitor would often fail to turn on after a restart or wake. The 138 Hz OC mode caused multiple games to either shrink in perspective or outright crash. There were severe problems with any game using Windows HDR instead of it’s own implementation. Fortunately, you can go backward on FW with this monitor and I reset to the Aug 2022 launch v028. That eliminated all the problems above, but over-extended colors and made the ABL too aggressive. You’ll see both noted in most early launch reviews. Moving up to the v031 that came a month after that, the colors snap back in line, the ABL follows expected behavior, but a peculiar problem with the LED power light was introduced. But hey, it is a simple power on light. How hard could that be to fix?

Apparently quite difficult. The Asus FW 033 version lists the following notes. Optimize Console HDR, Improve power indicator issue, Fix 138 Hz wake up issue. Instead it looks like this:

Optimize Console HDR -> Caused the previously mentioned HDR washout, resolution, and compatibility issues in all other PC HDR modes. They made HDR extremely difficult to use and while I can offset the color issues with detailed settings in the NVCP, I cannot stop the crashes, make the DP 1.4 work, or prevent the Windows HDR from going bananas after exiting the game. None of these were present on the previous firmware.

Improve Power Indicator Issue -> Yup, they fixed the light. At the expense of preventing the monitor from waking or turning on. Make sure you can reach the electrical plug.

Fix 138 Hz wake up issue -> Nope. 138 OC mode is broken on 033. Works fine on v031.

So Asus managed to turn a couple of minor issues into several usage breaking bugs. The real problem is that was 6 months ago and there has been no effort to address any of it since. So I while I can sit on v031 and manually manage my power light with the remote every time, I have to consider that Asus has abandoned this product and has no intention of addressing the issues. 5 firmware versions in the first 3 months. 2 of them pulled. The last is the most damaging and difficult to use. It doesn’t seem like that is the point where you take 6 months off and work on something else. This is also probably the moment to mention the Asus PG42UQ is NOT certified by the Display Port organization, unlike their prior 43” and 48” 4K monitors. If you do not have a GPU with a HDMI 2.1 output, you should not be considering this. Neither the DP 1.4 included in the box nor the half dozen others I have around provide consistent performance at the specified values.

So all of this leads to the very obvious question of why should you buy the PG42UQ instead of a LG 42” C2 with the same panel and a glossy screen? The LG C2 is nearly universally praised. The PG42UQ is decidedly mixed. The PQ42UQ has a special text clarity algorithm, which most professional reviewers feel looks worse than the C2 without it. The PG42UQ has a very large heatsink on the backside which in theory could maintain higher brightness levels during prolonged use, but it comes with increased thickness and an extra 10 lbs. It’s not easy to assess if the heatsink has any value without a side by side test. I do find the matte screen on the PG42UQ to be useful for my home office that gets some strong indirect light in Summer. I’ve had no issues with it during daytime use and have plenty of brightness to spare. The SDR color vibrancy is leaps and bounds above my LG 38” UW. This monitor does have some merits, but is that worth a substantial increase in price over what a 42” C2 sells for now? For most people that should be a no unless you are like me with a house full of LG screens and looking for a different twist. It remains to be seen if that was the right decision or not.
