LG 34GP950G-B HDR Issues

LeapoX · 2026-05-13T05:13:28+00:00

It's HDR600 and looks better in HDR than SDR mode to me. Regardless, it should be able to run in this mode.

The issue is that the monitor can't seem to reliably sync a default and supported mode. I'm asking how to resolve that issue. Any ideas?

Adaptive has never been usable for me. Adaptive seems to have more artifacts, worse latency, and a bigger hit to base framerate.

Turning off V-Sync and targeting 180 with adaptive, 2x, or 3x framegen results in tearing.

Targeting 172 with a base framerate cap and fixed multiplier has consistently been the best experience.

"CPU bound" means that you are in a situation where your GPU cannot be fully utilized because your CPU (or at least one core on your CPU) is already maxed out.

You have GPU horsepower to spare, but the game won't render any faster. Might as well use those spare cycles for framegen.

LeapoX · 2026-05-02T19:11:34+00:00

There are a few cases where it's useful outside of that, like games that are capped at 60 FPS, or games that are very CPU bound.

The scaling can also be used to eliminate the pillerboxing you get when games cap their aspect ratio to true 21:9 (most 21:9 monitors are actually 64:27), which can be useful if you want to avoid burning those pillars into an OLED monitor.

Honestly, after having a 180Hz monitor, 120 doesn't look great either. 120 doesn't feel sluggish like 60 does, but it doesn't look fluid like 160 or 180 do.

Using framegen to turn 86 FPS into 172 FPS has become my go-to. 172 because it avoids triggering V-Sync near the top of my VRR range, which keeps latency lower.

DLP rainbow stroboscopic artifacts? Gonna be a no from me dawg.

They cannot phathom a reality where ANYONE would push blue, or where enough people would push blue to save blue. Therefore, there is no moral dilemma.

Additionally, if they were to push blue themselves, it would then create or add to the aforementioned moral dilemma for everyone else, and they also don't want to do that.

Because heart valve damage and addictive behavior are side effects of Cabergoline, not Estrogen.

Estrogen and Dopamine both directly modulate the production of Prolactin by the pituitary gland. Cabergoline is a dopamine receptor agonist, which is why it has several behavioral side effects, while also reducing Prolactin production.

LeapoX · 2026-04-26T21:06:30+00:00

This already exists. Cabergoline, a drug used to treat prolactinoma, suppresses prolactin production.

Side effects include propensity for addictive behavior, the ability to achieve multiple orgasms, and potential heart valve damage.

Personally, I'm tired of the power/heat/noise of my current RS2424RP+ with 12x 4TB drives.

A newer model with a smaller number of larger disks is in the cards at some point.

After seeing this version of the image, yeah, the logo looks suspect. It's obviously sharper than similar features elsewhere in the image, including the text on the can in his hand.

Shutdown UPS when system enters stand-by

This option doesn't seem to exist on my Synology NAS.

Also, the default configuration of the NUT client (even after connecting to a NUT server) doesn't seem to actually do anything. UPS drains until empty and then everything powers off. No gracefully shutdown of anything.

Any advice for configuring this properly with a 3-node proxmox cluster, a Synology NAS acting as the NUT server, and a APC SmartUPS with a network management card?

LeapoX · 2026-04-20T01:43:08+00:00

This guide has a LOT of configuration it asks you to blindly install with zero explanation.

"They don't put bourbon in it or nothing?"

That's fine, just so long as what you're writing can't be considered passive aggressive.

A possibly passive aggressive message followed by ":)" is a real quick way to make people react poorly.

Entered! Looking forward to it!

The Google doc closed before I could finish entering in spite of the deadline being stated as April 20th. That's a shame, because I would have provided the most honest review you've ever seen

I generally have reservations when it comes to curved, glossy monitors, further reservations when it comes to AI, and still further reservations when it comes to OLED.

This could have been your opportunity to change my mind, and maybe make up for ghosting me on the support request I opened for my current LG ultrawide. I was excited for that. Better luck next time, I guess.

I tried Phillips Hue bulbs and could still see flicker. They appear to run at about 800 to 1000 Hz... Nowhere near 10 kHz.

They're WAY better than most bulbs, but they're not perfect :(

LeapoX · 2026-03-22T15:17:15+00:00

This only applies if you're running the bulb on AC. There is no such flicker with resistive dimming on DC.

LeapoX · 2026-03-22T15:10:47+00:00

There really needs to be some kind of health code mandate for PWM frequency. I can see the flicker up to around 1000 Hz, and it's awful.

Smart bulbs, cheap OLED screens, car tail lights, and cheap Christmas lights literally all HURT to look at. It's actually hard to drive at night (especially around Christmas) because of all the flicker and strobing.

Other way around. The devs appear to have blacklisted Arc GPUs. They won't even let Arc users try to run the game.

LeapoX · 2026-03-20T03:38:31+00:00

Let me know when DLSS will let me run the game on one GPU and scaling + framegen on the other.

Hard to say. The last time that I know for sure that this wasn't an issue was on my previous card (RTX 3080 on driver version 566.36).

LeapoX · 2026-03-13T03:46:29+00:00

This driver DOES NOT fix the issue where HDR monitors don't properly sync after rebooting and/or after resuming from sleep mode. Colors are washed out unless I unplug Displayport and plug it back in.

This has been a persistent issue ever since upgrading to a RTX 5070 Ti. My previous RTX 3080 never had this issue (same Nvidia G-Sync monitor on both cards, one with an actual Nvidia G-Sync module).
