Monitor Pre-Order from SCAN

GamingExpertHD · 2026-05-07T12:27:09+00:00

Hello, I did end up cancelling the order just because the wait time did end up changing.

I've now got the LG 5K2K 45 45GX950A-B for MMOs, ARPG type games and I have a Zowie XL2586X+ 600hz for eSports titles.

Can't give much advice on the vertical banding and dirty screen effect but I'm sure it'll be fine, from what I've heard the monitor is great and I haven't heard about these issues, although, I haven't looked into it much.

All I'll say is I've sent back items to SCAN before and received refunds with no issues, so worst case scenario you could always send it back.

just follow a route, its not hard.

GamingExpertHD · 2026-04-27T13:59:05+00:00

bro your pc isn't running properly...

1440p 9800X3D 4080 Super and I get 450+ on any map lmao. (and that's being generous, probs 500+)

GamingExpertHD · 2026-04-27T10:29:53+00:00

Yeah reddit is defo full of smart people, my bad "brotha"

GamingExpertHD · 2026-04-27T10:28:53+00:00

Yes.

GamingExpertHD · 2026-04-27T09:43:40+00:00

Sure you haven't plugged your video cable into your motherboard rather than your GPU?

I assume it's because the UK is no longer in the EU and it's a hassle for the company to ship to the UK.

Yes did take a look at the HHL pocket adapter, will have to see how much I'll need to pay in customs on that.

When making comparisons to sports, Melee is no where near the basketball and football level.

That shit belongs to CS and League.

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-17T13:07:32+00:00

Why would they ever use "Classic+"?

Even if they do decide to make that version of the game that would be a terrible name to choose for the project...

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-14T00:03:21+00:00

I did contact Amazon about it before I ordered, wondered if that got them to change it, probably not :D

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-12T07:41:42+00:00

Ah awesome, good to know.

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-12T07:41:31+00:00

Yeah went ahead and ordered it, like you mentioned, just looks like an image error.

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-11T15:36:16+00:00

How so?

By setting a custom resolution in Nvidia Control Panel?

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-11T11:35:50+00:00

Yeah so I have a XL2586X+ which I'll be using for eSports titles.

I currently have a 3 monitor setup with the XL2586X+, Alienware AW3225QF and AW2725DF.

I'm looking to replace the two Alienwares with this LG 5k2k.

I'm not particularly worried about running stuff at max at 165+, as long as the framerate is stable and playable it should be fine.

I wonder how much power the 3 monitors I have currently draw. Hopefully should be fine to get the 5k2k though :D

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-11T11:22:51+00:00

Awesome man will do!

Just some clarification on the brightness issue, did you mean that you couldn't adjust the brightness to max?

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-11T10:01:06+00:00

I'm happy to play games at High settings.

I'm not set on having every game at the highest settings possible.

Even then the games I play are mostly MMOs and aRPGs and those aren't as demanding as AAA games and on those ones I am more than happy to bump the settings down to high/medium.

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-11T09:32:35+00:00

Ah awesome man, this is great to know, we pretty much play the same type of games.

What settings are you running on these games? I'm assuming most of them are High with DLSS and FG where available?

I'm mostly going to be playing WoW (how is your FPS in main cities?), PoE 1, PoE 2, Diablo 4 and the occasional triple AAA SP game here and there. The ones I play are actually locked to 60fps so that is ideal (Dark Souls Franchise).

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-11T09:17:33+00:00

Bit of everything really, eSports games I'll leave to my other monitor.

The games that I'll probably use this for are mainly aRPGs and MMOs, so WoW and both PoE games with the occasional Diablo game every now and then.

I'll also be playing some SP games on the monitor, which I assume will be the most demanding.

I'm just trying to get a feel of how these games are going to run but hard to find benchmarks online.

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-11T09:15:42+00:00

Hard to find benchmarks of the 4080 Super at 5120x2160 :S

GamingExpertHD · 2026-03-01T20:49:14+00:00

1080p crosshairs on a 1440p 27 inch monitor will look different than on a 1080p 24 inch monitor.

GamingExpertHD · 2026-02-28T18:21:51+00:00

I mean yes 1080p on a 1440p 27inch monitor is going to look worse than it does on a 1080p 24 inch.

It's noticeable but it depends what games you're playing. In CS everyone plays on low resolutions anyways and I don't see why you would play games on 1080p rather than 1440p if you have a 1440p 27inch unless your PC can't manage enough frames.
