      Not sure why you were negged. Here have my +1. Some wishful thinking right there!

    All you need is an RTX 6090 to run it maxed out.

    • The next gen RDNA 3 should be able to. 3 times more cores and a lot more cache should do wonders at higher res.

  • Does anyone know how it performs at 1440p? Just thinking of getting it for PS5 and PC. Running it at 4k for PS5 games and 1440p for PC shooters. Thanks!

      You dont want to run a 4K at 1440P, might look blurry. I have a 1440P and running 1080P on it looks worse than running 1080 on 1080P monitor.

      • Yeah same here, I have LG 1440p and 1080p doesn't look good on it so I just thought I'd ask about 4K.

    • Don't. Play ps5 on your 4k tv and buy a 2k high refresh rate monitor for PC.

  • Price is acturally $1059, match with centrecom if anyone want free delivery.

  • Being capped at 24gbps, what's the best 32" monitor to get the most out of the ps5 (32gbps max), and xbox series x (40gbps max)?? I'm trying to google it, but not having that much luck..

      Asus TUF VG28UQL1A supports native 4K @120Hz visuals via HDMI 2.1 with full 48 Gbps bandwidth.

  • For the KVM, using one set of keyboard and mouse, you need a USB-C (that supports display) for both the device and cable. Other device can be HDMI or DP.

    • Huh? Can you use an example perhaps of a setup so this explanation can be clearer

      • the point of KVM is to flick a switch and it will swap between displays like a laptop/tablet/phone and a desktop using only one keyboard mouse.

        one device must have a USB-C port which supports display output. the second display device can be either HDMI or Displayport.

        you cannot have device 1 as HDMI and device 2 as Display port. (technically you can but this will require you to swap cables between switching defeating the purpose of the kvm mostly)

        so make sure atleast one device supports display over USB-C (and have the USB-C gen 2 cable which supports display about $18-20)

        • This is not true - you can set-it up with both HDMI and DP. Using the set-up manager in the monitor would let you have both HDMI connections.

          I have this monitor, and when I first set it up, I had it with HDMI2+USB on my Windows Laptop (HDMI1 was my XSX) and DP+USBC to my Mac mini (using a DP-to-USBC cable plus a second USBC cable). Once I got a TB4 cable off Amazon to provide the bandwidth, I was able to move to a single cable for the Mac mini.

          • @bailzwhat:

            Mac mini (using a DP-to-USBC cable plus a second USBC cable).

            can you link the first cable/adapter you used?

            • @kehuehue: My USB-C to DP cable is a CHOETECH (4K@60Hz TB3 compatible) branded model off Amazon. Unfortuntely I think CHOETECH have been kicked off Amazon now, so I can't link the exact cable. It was about $15, so not a particuarly expensive cable. It was honestly the first one I tried. The USB-c cable for the USB sharing is just a standard white Apple cable.

              I have since replaced both with a single cable - Plugable TB4 2m [https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B09C1LV8XC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1]

      • So you have the monitor and it has 3 normal USB ports for your keyboard and mouse, etc… There’s a button on the back of the monitor that switches those USB ports between computer A and computer B. The question is, what’s the USB connection path back to each individual computer?

        Looking at the connectors on this monitor, you have hdmi x2, display port, usb-c and usb type b. Forget hdmi and display port for this example as they’re not usb.

        Computer A can connect to the monitors usb 3.0 type b port. So where does that leave computer B? How does it connect to the monitor? It does so through the usb-c port!

        I think what kehuehue is saying is, if you plug computer b into the display port and computer b into usb c to get kvm functionality it may not work. Computer b and the kvm functionality expects both the display and usb protocol all to be over the usb-c connection. Is that correct?

        • It has 3 normal USB port, plus 1 upstream USB port and 1 USB-C port.

          First computer connects via 1x upstream USB port. Second computer connects via 1x USB-C port. Both computer share the 3 normal USB ports depending on which is "active" on the screen.

          I use the KVM ports to run my webcam, a Logitech dongle and some USB speakers - all work on either my Mac mini or windows laptop, depending on what's active on the screen.

          • @bailzwhat: Oh so you can use hdmi/DP and a usb c cable for one computer?

            • @lemto: Yes, thhet setup is as follows:

              Computer 1
              HDMI/DP + USB-C [you supply this cable]

              Computer 2
              HDMI/DP (whatever is not used on for Comp1) + USB-upstream [cable included in the box]

              Personally I have XSX (HDMI2.1), WIndows laptop for work (HDMI2.0), and mac mini (USB-c) all connected.
