$165 @ Wal-Mart. It wouldn't scan at the register. I told her it was $165 cause I scanned it on Wal-Mart app. She put her own price on it!! $99.99 . Thank you shorty

I love Walmart employees lmao. I bought a WD 1TB 2.5" SSD from there a few months ago, for like $44 and they put two in the lockbox. I take it to the register and the girl opens and just dumps everything in it. I pay then leave, get home and discover I got 2 drives for the price of 1.

[@Condor1970]

Have you noticed any issues with full 165hz? Or, is it better to just run it at 144hz like most?

[@tech-Nic]

I haven't really seen issues with this however how I'm using this monitor isn't currently "pushing" it's limits. 144hz would probably give the more reliable performance I'd assume.

[@poptartfart158]

my only issue with this monitor is that the colour seems to be so washed out compared to my tv, any help? (i don’t have a pc i hooked my playstation into the monitor that’s it)

[@tech-Nic]

The best way to remedy this will be to adjust the brightness, contrast and saturation settings until you see something that looks best for your use. You can always reset the monitor to the factory setting if you feel like the modifications you've made aren't the solution. It will take a little trial and effort to find your preferred visual settings. Just be patient and experiment a litte.

[@Elisabitafly]

How do you use the onbosrd speakers they don't automatically come on.

[@tech-Nic]

You'll have to use headphones or speakers...unfortunately the monitor doesn't have built in speakers.

[@richard-ib2ox]

How do you get the speakers to work?

[@pitbrand]

You probably have to tell your computer that you want your default speakers to be through the HDMI output to enable those to work.

[@FIr3BLZ]

Can you mount it

[@livesc]

I have the same one

[@tech-Nic]

We still use this one in the gaming room. Zero complaints!

[@unfiyra]

Audio doesn't work unless I plug my headset into the monitor. When I do this my microphone doesn't work. Do you know how to fix this?

[@tech-Nic]

Sounds like your audio is going thru your HDMI connection. You can either a) run your speakers out of the monitor or b) go into your computer settings and change your audio output to your headset so it's not passing thru the HDMI.

[@unfiyra]

@@tech-Nic Ended up getting a female USB to AUX adapter cable, and it worked. Yeah I tried plugging the headset into every port on my computer and matched the input and output devices to my headset, but nothing worked. Headset works now, but it's strange why this happened.

Do you reckon this monitor is too big as desktop monitor, im looking to upgrade to a larger, higher rez monitor in preparation for Starfield lol (currently on a 144hz 1080p 24 inch Acer Nitro VG240Y)

[@tech-Nic]

Here's what I add to this question...it's a very personal decision. For me it starts to get questionable at this size. It does change the way I play certain games. I have been gaming on the Samsung Odyssey 49" for the last couple years as my main hub. Some games are totally fine and others induce wood vomitting sessions if I don't adjust the settings. I think this monitor is a safe gamble though. It's not so large that I would be terrified but it is right at that area where if you're prone to motion sickness it will change how you play. (I don't play many games full screen on the Odyssey) Proceed with a little bit of caution but mostly excitement on this sized monitor Fair answer? Hope it helps!

@@tech-Nic I decided to pull the trigger on this one! If I end up not liking it I can always send it back, but I think it looks great! Not to worried I appreciate the feedback!

@@darksummondragon it can be both actually. TV's and monitors aren't really worth having repaired in my opinion unless you know how to work on them yourself. Outside of the warranty a faulty screen really just means time to buy a new one.... unfortunately.

How are you wanting to run three screens? Do you mean three of these monitors simultaneously? There are definitely ways to do that. If you mean, could you split screen this monitor into thirds it wouldn't be beneficial at all. I'd recommend something much larger like the 49" Odyssey. Of course it's not cheap but it's effectively three monitors in one.
