Thank you for your advice and suggestion. It seems like with my current budget, I guess my best bet is Acer XZ342CUP or even LG 34WP500 (Yes, I know it is  2560 X 1080 ultrawide. But as far as I know, the pixelation can only be observed if you sit very close to the monitor. When I watch the reviews, I actually find it quite ok for me ).

I have been using a TFT-LCD panel with a resolution of 1366 x 768 for the past 9 - 10 yrs and I never experienced IPS / TN / VA panel before, so I don't really know how well or how bad for a different type of panel. I think I should go to the physical store to try out the VA panel and see if I can accept the black smearing issue.. sweat.gif
Thank you for sharing your experience with me. It is good to know that you don't have the disappearing issue while scrolling because I guess this is the issue that irritate most of the non-gamer user and also my biggest concern because I just don't want to switch to a monitor that I have to scroll-stop-sroll-stop everytime just to read part of the text.

I don't think I will ever use my monitor in complete darkness as I always prefer my room / environment in bright. biggrin.gif

Did you bought the acer? If yes can I know what is the review? I have similar thought as you even the similar shop.. Did you went to purchase in physical shop? I not sure if physical shop price is same as in Shopee

Hi Guys, Just get my Acer 34 inch, I not sure how to make it 2k resolution.
I saw the specification as below
Max Resolution: 3440 x 1440 (UWQHD); Refresh Rate: 144Hz

I connect this through the free cable 2k-4k high speed cable hdmi.
I went to resolution able to get is 2560 x 1080.
How shall i troubleshoot it?

Is it due to laptop problem? My laptop graphic is UHD 620 and MX150.

i think you will require to use DP cable to get use of full resolution and refresh rate.

I think HDMI is fine, i tried using my alternate laptop with same cable it able to get 3440 x 1440.
Maybe my laptop need some tweaking or it don't support.

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Dec 17 2022, 08:47 PM)
That is because UHD 620 only came with HDMI 1.4 which is not enough for run at 3440x1440 144hz. It only maximum to 2560x1440 75hz or 1920x1080 120hz.

You can try custom resolution but it will only able to run 3440x1440 30hz which will be very choppy performance.
*
When i custom it with that resolution it give me error "The custom resolution exceed the maximum bandwidth capacity".
I tried 2560 x 1440 30hz also failed. Maybe i try to check if i able to force my MX150 GPU or not.
I run game which should auto use mx150 but max i get 2560 x 1080.

Edit : After updated all the driver nvdia and also intel. Nvdia seems doesnt do much, from version 4xx to 5xx.
Intel updated the latest one from 2x to 3x. Use the intel command centre able to add custom resolution.
2560 x 1440 give me a weird non full screen - side left and right black bar. Do you guys do customize or strech?
3440 x 1440 the highest hz is 44hz. - Can add 30 40 44 but when choose 40 or 44 it will mention "error occured" Something went wrong applying settings. Pelase try again.
Now i using this, but the text looks abit blury compared to 2560 x 1080. Tried to scale 125% better a little but still 1080 give better(cant 4 screen tho)
Aside when we watch youtube / movie kodi etc is it normal there is black bar due to aspect ratio?

It had nothing to do with your MX150, that is only for gaming processing. The main issue is the HDMI is version 1.4 and version 1.4 had not enough bandwidth for such resolution and refresh rate.

They is only 4 options

  • return the monitor
  • use in not native resolution which will be blur and pixelate
  • buy a new laptop or PC
  • use USB doggle with display out but this will totally skip your MX150 which means you can't gaming. The output is not as nice as render using GPU. I use before last time when I want connect 2nd monitor to my old laptop which had only one HDMI.
When the movie is 16:9 aspect ratio, black bar will be there, this is correct way to watch as maintained aspect ratio is important, not stretching. If the video in 21:9 but recorded with 16:9 (all blu-ray) then you will have top, bottom,  left and right black bar, this issue you need to use 3rd party player that can custom zoom to remove the top and bottom black bar.

OK I think i get what you mean.
What mean by native resolution? - its depend on the monitor screen size and resolution support right? - when i put 3440 x 1440 30hz some area more noticeable blur such as google chrome header(the tab) word.
Ya, waiting for next gen budget i5 to build 1 pc.
What third party player you use? when watching YT or other movie it feels a bit weird as not full screen. only when i search YT21:9 i able to watch some nice like avatar trailer.

I just check my laptop spec which is HDMI 1.4b, now i know why i only can put max 3440 x 1440 30hz, and now the pc recommended is 2560 x 1080.

I will only use as 3440x1440 but your output cannot reach at least 60hz is very choppy.  Since 2560x1440 also 30hz, they is no point set as this resolution.

So it depends on your choice as either 3440x1440 or 2560x1080 as both also not a good choice for the moment.

For movie if it is 16:9, they is very OK and should be playback with left and right black bar.

using 3440 x 1440. my company laptop support hdmi2 and its quite nice.
However my old laptop using it on 30 hz, i guess this hz matter perhaps. The text i get in company laptop are more clearer compared my own laptop.
Opening pdf and excel etc on this native resolution is awesome... Too bad need wait for i5 launching to get my rig to enjoy this..

Tested. The monitor without any problem!

You test all option? Haha I haven't test.. When I bought I just turn off the light and see if got dead pixel or not..
But as usual got some light but not light bleed.. Some small inconsistance brighter area in edge of the monitor.. Guess it's normal..

BTW talking about distance I feel I am too close with monitor like 40 50cm for 34 curve..
60cm is quite comfort but my desk it too short in depth, no place to put my keyboard..

Thinking to buy a vesa mount.. My monitor weight less than 4kg without stand and 6kg with stand.. In market should I buy any vesa bracket mount as long it's support more than 4kg right?

I saw quite alot of mount it written up to 27 inch.. I not sure if this a restriction? I saw comment review section got one guy said can't fit 32 inch but I not sure what his reason or problem.
Cause my understanding as long our monitor weight is lesser than their product support eg they support 9kg and my monitor less than that.. Their product 75 - 100mm.. And mine its 100mm then it should be good to go rite? Do share if u guys bought any vesa mount for my similar case.. I find some brand like NB f80 or most of those bracket similar design and price around 70 80 bucks..

Before using Vesa mount, you need to ensure your desk is solid wood. Until now I not dare to use as my table is cheap table and not solid wood.  whistling.gif

Yes I know about that. Haha my table abit sagging now and surveying table top currently.
Another option I buy the wall mount like mount TV but it's not so flexing like pc arm.

Anyone using mind to share experience and how much you guys bought?

Saw a few like NB brand or something all price around 80.. Some review box saw it write 22 to 27 inch.. I holding my horse currently, not sure if it able to mount my 34 inch..

I use NB H100 for my 32 and 34 inch monitor (1 per each ofc). rated for 2kg - 12 kg, 22 to 35 inch monitor. Just need to adjust the torque and can adjust your monitor angle very easily. bought during monthly online sale for around rm80~

As for protecting your tabletop surface, I just bought the steel/metal mount plate with eva pad (a set of top and bottom plate) that increase the surface area to mount the clamp (price around rm20~). My tabletop is not solid wood either, just regular generic computer desk tabletop. But I mounted the clamp with the metal plate on the desk metal frame underneath the table since not enough tabletop edge space underneath the table to clamp on. my table frame is those thick metal bar one and very sturdy, not banquet table type of frame lah.

Been using for a few months now with no issue or damages.

thanks.. Will have a look... What is the Eva pad? Name of steel plate is it?

oh, eva pad is a type of sponge or foam pad that comes with the metal plate. as dampener/padding/cushion layer between the metal plate and the tabletop. This is what I bought (the larger one) - https://shopee.com.my/product/74226638/1014...97-1671951527.9

The original H100 seems better than F80 right? As it able to adjust the high with different structure.
Hmm i think i might not need the plate or i just find some extra similar item in my house to act as the plate, cause i getting new table top with 25mm thick.
I saw below is the cheapest cost over 110. The item FP1 add on we dont need it if our monitor have vesa support right?

If your monitor is VESA compatible, no need for the add on.

And yea, i went for NB H100 for its design and it's already stated it's for monitor up to 35 inch. might be due to the height clearance if you want to for example make the screen rotated vertically (portrait mode). I can make my 34 inch go portrait with good table surface clearance with H100 since it use vertical pole, but might not be able to with f80 since the height limit of the arm irregardless if it can support the weight or not.

Plus with the vertical pole design, i can utilize more space under the monitor and still be able to swivel it around without the arm knocking over stuff unlike the f80.

as for price, you may want to wait till 1.1 sale since it's just around the corner. I bought one for my bro during 12.12 sale on lazada for rm80 (with vouchers etc). From here - https://s.lazada.com.my/s.fm2px

You have F80? I bought F80 as i feel not going to spend so much.
Ya after reading i think the possibility of F80 cant rotate.
I don't really rotate my screen and i think i wont move it as well. I just want to save space, as the original stand i think eat up over 20cm of space.
i get F80 around 70ish inclusive delivery. Lazada now already in new year promo if not mistaken.
From my reading my screen 34 inch meaning around 80cm+ and the F80 i think height will be 5x cm - 60 cm.. once i get i will try and see if i able to rotate, but i dont really do that haha
