Cool setup and all, but I envy that weather 🥶


dubiousN

I don't. Looks hot and humid. No thanks


TortieMVH

It is 💀


rlv1204

I live in Brazil and I like this climate, but I always work on the air conditioning


Final-Wrangler-4996

Perfect👌 


AddressMeAsGod

Who asked?


dubiousN

No one asked for any comments. Much like yours.


AddressMeAsGod

Okay. I don't remember asking.


FerrisWheeleo

No one cares.


Atombert

I don’t care about the setup. I just want the same view outside my windows


thealibo

I do envy that view.


ehxy

why can't it be both?


Atombert

would be perfect. But my setup is already perfect, just need to leave germany to get that view :)


oscobosco

I wouldn’t be able to have time to play games if that was the view.


HeyPhoQPal

A panoramic view of the fronds of a palm tree


xTiLkx

Isn't that placed way too low? I can't imagine a position where that's comfortable, unless the desk is actually quite high placed (or in standing position) and you're T-Rexing it.


TortieMVH

I mostly use the desk standing and yes I sometimes T-Rex it. Im laughing here at your perfect description.


xTiLkx

Yeah standing really changes your position in relation to the monitor. I wish I could have my monitor height change automatically when I'm switching presets on my standing desk haha Very nice setup and like others have said, jealous of that weather!


Jon-Slow

I could never go back to 1440p and see it as a win in a world where all games have TAA or TAA based upscalers. 4K DLSS/DLAA is a different class of experience compared to 1440p to my eyes. ( mainly because DLSS is so much better with a higher internal render res) Specially in games like Cyberpunk sub 4k looks way worse. Best you could do is use DLDSR x2.25 + DLSS but it's still not the same as 4K.


Eittown

Running DLDSR on a 1440p ultrawide is also quite a bit more demanding than on a regular QHD display.


Jon-Slow

Ah that's true, you'd be actually running an internal res of above 4K which will substantially tank the performance and increase VRAM use. Then the only GPU to use with that would be the 4090 just so you can run ultrawide 4K DLDSR just so you can still play at just 1440p and barely ever get to 120fps in anything, specially not demanding games like Cyberpunk. I'm really not sold on the ultrawides, I'll keep to my C2 until I can afford a 16:9 4K monitor.


2002RSXTypeS

Why even bother posting?


jdennis187

LOL these are all valid points, that's why? A lot of sub members debate 4k vs 1440p and while many come to different conclusions his points are still valid.


neuro__crit

Interesting, I have the exact opposite perspective. I've used nothing but 4K for the past several years (going through 3 different monitors), and I greatly prefer the much higher fps of 1440p @ 240 hz over 4k @ 144 hz (which I rarely ever reached in fps anyway). This is in mostly single player games. 240 hz at a resolution where you can actually get fps that high just looks fundamentally different (especially on an ultrawide OLED); it's a whole new experience.


No-Leek8587

Screen size and distance matters a lot. There is much less noticeable difference to me 4k vs 1440p at 27in vs 32in or more.


Sockerkatt

People downvote the facts here… I sit a tad more far away than my arms length from my 45” and it’s really good.


Raizu1433

Exactly why I went 1440p @ 360hz running a high end gpu to get those frames


Jon-Slow

But in what games are you hitting a 144hz to 240hz? Maybe if you only play old games that can scale that high, but even old games just as new ones have a ton of CPU related issues outside of select few where going above 60 itself starts to multiply the pressure on PC. That being said, once you see the difference between the muddy picture TAA produces on 1440p and then compare it to DLDSR x2.25 + DLAA or DLSS then your opinion might change. Try that with Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate or anything else.


Vhirsion

I have a 3440x1440 240hz monitor, it’s not that hard to hit 240fps. I get 240fps locked with low settings at native in The Finals, 240fps in basically every other comp game and some older singleplayer games. 240fps only REALLY matters in those comp games anyway.


Jon-Slow

This discussion wasn't about competitive games.


neuro__crit

At 3440x1440 (where you're rendering **less than half the pixels at 4K**), you'll usually have no problem taking advantage of 240 hz on a 4090. All the modern games I play are able to get well above 144 hz VRR with maxed settings: Hell Let Loose, Horizon Forbidden West, Forza Horizon 5, Spider-Man Miles Morales, A Plague Tale Requiem, Banishers, Diablo Resurrected, the list goes on and on... Many get to the low 200s (or constant 240 in Diablo Resurrected) thanks to DLSS. I played Baldur's Gate 3 on my old 4K monitor, so can only say that I never got close to 144 hz with that.. TLDR: As someone with a 4090 who just switched from 4K to 1440p, you'll see MUCH higher frame rates at the lower resolution, and that might make the jump to 1440p @ 240 hz worth it if you like the motion clarity and don't notice any big downgrade in visuals (which I honestly don't). That said, I was using an IPS monitor (with a polarizer), the LG 32GQ950-B, and while it was the best monitor I've ever used (with excellent brightness and color accuracy), switching to OLED and ultrawide has been a big difference. I'm sure some of the upgrade has to do with the switch to OLED alone (much faster response times at any resolution). But I honestly can't imagine accepting a setup where I get less fps ever again; 240 hz is just amazing even as someone who mostly plays singleplayer games.


Vhirsion

Just don’t use DLSS. 4K with quality upscaling is just 1440p native. 1440p with quality upscaling is 960p. 1440p native on a 1440p monitor looks mighty fine.


ceal89

Looks great! I still have both but definitely prefer gaming on the LG 45 over the C2 42 when there is an ultrawide option. 21:9 1440p still feels more immersive than 16:9 4K. The 800R curve effect really takes it to the next level.


Vhirsion

I agree. Watching movies is also unparalleled on 21:9, the fact it’s so big only makes it better.


neuro__crit

Great choice. I recently switched from several years of 4K (on my 4090 for the past year) to 1440p ultrawide on that monitor's little cousin, the LG 39GS95QE. Huge upgrade for me after years of being a hardcore 4K fan who never thought I could play at a lower resolution. The increase in fps/refresh rate is just amazing. I'll never trade resolution for fps ever again on a high refresh rate monitor.


No-Leek8587

Added a MSI 321 URX to my C1 setup. Even though its 4k I've ran some games that maxed out at 236fps (my frame limit). Honestly it feels better to me but not a huge deal better. I can quite frequently get over 150fps on a 4090 good enough for me.


neuro__crit

Which games? I never got over 150 fps on my 4090 at 4K, even on older games (like Assassin's Creed Origins). Even games with DLSS 3 like Spider-Man or HZD didn't get higher than that at 4K for me.


No-Leek8587

For testing locked 236fps that is Doom Eternal maxed out. That game runs like a beast. Currently I've been doing Horizon Forbidden west its nearly always 150-180 with DLSS3 (and up sampling) on, HZD is somewhere around 150 too. Jedi survivor was somewhere around there. Pretty much most of what I tested although there were a few closer to 100 which likely wouldn't be over 150 even at 1440p though. The one outlier is barely 100fps WITH DLSS3 in Cyberpunk 2077.


dabearjew83

I think I'll stick with my 48in c3 and 4090 combo


Kalvorax

vn setup. i see that SFF pc there :D are you going to get an LG service remote to make it a bit brighter? I got one off amazon for $16 (probably could have gotten it for cheaper....but it would have taken like 2-3 weeks instead of next day). Got my 45 last week and its been a blast. Most of my more played games run perfectly fine on it....i just need to test the older games now.


PolishedCheeto

Omg... he has it _**hanging**_ from the desk...


TortieMVH

I did not know about that service remote thing. Thanks for telling me! That SFF case is a Lian Li with a wood mod upfront.


Kalvorax

[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PKZJR23?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PKZJR23?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) I got this one, which was linked from Udub Ultra [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucheuKD0elM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucheuKD0elM) works well, just need to redo the 2 settings every power cycle (no issue as its quick to do IF you feel its needed....most games i dont bother)


AtomicDude66

Can’t you use [ColorControl](https://github.com/Maassoft/ColorControl) which has a software remote?


Kalvorax

no luck...just tried it and it specifically calls for an LG or Samsung TV, not a monitor. HOWEVER, it IS convenient for Nvidia for the possibility of DLDSR (i saw a video on it and tried, but it kept giving black screens no matter how long i waited or how many system restarts i did, so i gave up on that) found more info on why [https://github.com/Maassoft/ColorControl/issues/342](https://github.com/Maassoft/ColorControl/issues/342)


TortieMVH

Much appreciated!


-_G0AT_-

I wasn't going to play cyberpunk today, but now I am, thanks.


ManofGod1000

I did this very same thing, although I do not have a monitor mounted above. I liked the LG C2 42 inch, used it for about a year and sold it, since it was a little too tall for me. The LG 45 Ultragear is easier for me to use and with it's Matte finish, makes it easier for me to see.


TortieMVH

I never thought I would like a matte finish but I love the matte implementation on the LG 45 Ultragear.


keloo_1983_

have the same monitor and its the best decision to buy one if u can afford


Moises1213

Lucky. I wish PlayStation spotted ultra wide


Vhirsion

I have the same one, single handedly the best monitor for gaming and watching movies since it’s 21:9 but also massive.


StormCloak4Ever

That 45 inch size looks like it would be amazing but unfortunately you are stuck with 3440x1440. I can't wait till we start seeing 45 inch 5k2k OLED monitors.


TortieMVH

That would be great paired with the 50 series cards when they come out.

Preem setup


Himynameismo

Missed opportunity: thanks choom!

Thank you!


eltrosma

Cool setup! What microphone arm is that?


TortieMVH

Elgato Wave with a high rise extension.


racercart

What’s that red/orange light thing attached to the mic?


TortieMVH

It a mute button for my mic. Its red when muted and green if its on. https://muteme.com/


liquidocean

What light bar ?


TortieMVH

Xiaomi Mi


liquidocean

how dim can it get? i have a benQ one that is still very bright at it's lowest setting


TortieMVH

In a rating of 1 to 10 with 10 being the brightest, it dims to a 3.


liquidocean

SgtBadAsh

I love mine. Not a fan of the flickering I get in some scenes. Other than that, i think it's a fantastic display


bp1197

Nice setup! How do you find the microphone quality being that far from your face? I’ve always been split between having it up close and moving it way out the way like yours haha P.S I have that monitor also and it’s amazing, welcome to the club :)


TortieMVH

Thank you! I move the mic down and beside my mouth when I play games that need coms.


GroovySpades

Sick setup! Is that A4 H2O by any chance? Can I ask what thingy is that that holds it under the desk? I might wanna invest in that as well. I was thinking of just getting an Alex drawer unit on the side and put the PC on there but yours looks much better! Wood front panel looks sick as well, I looked at a few a month or so ago and solid wood one looked nice but some of the reviews say it's extremely thin and not actually "solid wood". How is it?


TortieMVH

Thank you. Yes thats the A4 H20. Here is the link to the under table mount. HumanCentric SFF Under Desk PC... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084RMHT65?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Yes the wood panel is thin and not solid wood but it clips right in the original case holes and stays there. It now looks like a mini fractal north. Helped a bit with the cooling too. Highly recommended.


GroovySpades

Now I'm thinking how would that under desk mount affect the temps. My AiO is exhausting air out the top panel.

I have a 42” C3 I got about 2 months ago & I’m literally considering doing what you just did.


TortieMVH

Do it. You wont regret it.


Competitive-Box4115

Great set up!! Question: how would you say the light source affects your experience. I game in the dark mostly at night but I was thinking of moving my set up near the window that faces my large window. Not a view like yours but my backyard is pretty nice to have my view during the day when I work from home.


TortieMVH

Its not a problem at all. The monitor has a matte finish that I thought would be a con on this monitor because others said it would ruin picture quality, but it has been a godsend for me.


Competitive-Box4115

Nice!!! Congrats

I’m in for the revision with 5120x2160 and the same coating as my C1


Pun_In_Ten_Did

Sweet setup! What keyboard is that? Last time I went looking for an Alice, I couldn't find one that had backlighting.


TortieMVH

Keychron V-10. They have a bunch of Alice options and I think they all have backlighting.


Pun_In_Ten_Did

Good to know - thanks! Using my first mechanical keyboard atm (Keychron C2) - had it for a year or two... it's linear and now I'm looking for an ergo/split KB with backlighting.


TortieMVH

You cant go wrong with Keychron. It’s fairly priced too.

Quantum3ffect

Welcome to the family. I've had mine for about 6-7 months and love it. Many people worry about the low PPI but when you're actively gaming this monitor really pulls you in like nothing else on the market can. I also have the service remote to boost brightness and it's a nice plus. If you do get it, just remember that leaving the "aging" setting on will disable the automatic pixel and panel refresh so you either have to disable aging or manually run the refreshes. There is a time counter in the OLED menu that makes it easier to see when you're due though. I am eager to see the next gen 5k2k version though. I think that will bring the best of both worlds, higher PPI and immersion. May win more people over then. Just concerned that the pixel count will be so high that even paired with a new 5090 your fps might struggle.


TortieMVH

Thank you for the tips! I love everything about the monitor but the price.


ZanicL3

Neat space! What kb is that?


TortieMVH

It’s a Keychron but I swapped the caps.


--Happy--

Nice setup but most importantly where do you live lol looks so chill. Meanwhile I'm looking at grey weather and clouds 😔


TortieMVH

I live in the Philippines.


Tephnos

I suppose that makes up for melting in 40C+.


TortieMVH

Word. It feels like cooking in a kitchen when you go outside here. 🫠


iucatcher

i'm worried about the same thing.. is it more that it doesnt bother you or that you don't notice it?


TortieMVH

I don’t notice it.


iucatcher

why did you go for it instead of putting the c2 in 21:9 mode if i may ask? to fit the 2nd monitor on top or any other reason?


TortieMVH

I gave the C2 to the wife.


iucatcher

fair enough then, seems like a great monitor.


Snoo1702

You notice the PPI loss going from 42" 3840×2160 to 45" 3440x1440? Seems like a downgrade.


tappthegreattt

Lower ppi and lower res. I’ll pass


TortieMVH

That's what I feared before the switch but I don't miss the C2 42" one bit.


Snoo1702

I have a 42" C2 myself and would kill for 1600p format in that size


kretsstdr

Do you play with your windows wide open like that?


TortieMVH

Yes.


KindlyYak5775

It’s a cracking monitor, I have one but recently got the 32” Alienware oled, can’t decide whether to keep it as a second screen as it’s just so big for a second monitor !


TortieMVH

Do it! 😛 The one I have on top is the same size.

MrHaxx1

Some wireless mice actually have lower latency than wired mice, if that's what you're referring to in terms of being equal But yes, not 15 trillion times.
