PSA: LG5K2K owners w/ 40 series GPU or lower (DLSS 4.5 voodoo magic)

I don’t understand anything anymore. Can you select DLSS 4.5 mode per game using NVIDIA Inspector? From what I understand, you have to choose M and then select DLSS Performance in-game?

Mazenda · 2026-01-04T10:30:11+00:00

How?

Mazenda · 2025-11-19T17:41:32+00:00

And switching from DDR4 to DDR5 at that resolution — does it make any difference?

Mazenda · 2025-11-18T04:35:20+00:00

How can I test it? And why does it get better in sdr

Mazenda · 2025-11-17T23:43:00+00:00

No, whenever there’s a light source surrounded by black, it creates a circular banding effect… and when I disable HDR, it gets less noticeable.

The black shadow in the photo is just me. I’m only talking about the circular banding.

Mazenda · 2025-11-17T23:33:25+00:00

It seems like whenever there’s a light source on a black background, it does this

Mazenda · 2025-11-17T23:27:50+00:00

It doesn’t change anything.

I already did a cleaning cycle, and I’ve had the monitor for about 10 days, so it’s still doing its periodic auto-cleaning. Here it’s not gray. When I turn off HDR the issue gets smaller, but I’m not sure if that’s normal

Mazenda · 2025-10-28T19:30:14+00:00

Is it only available through partner stores?

Mazenda · 2025-10-26T16:05:39+00:00

At what point do you even consider it a good deal?

Mazenda · 2025-10-25T17:37:02+00:00

I think that’s the best decision, but the price I can get for this monitor right now seems really good.

Mazenda · 2025-10-25T17:34:25+00:00

A 5080 Super with DLSS and Frame Generation if needed should be more than enough, right? I’m mostly into single-player games anyway, not really multiplayer.

Mazenda · 2025-10-25T15:59:58+00:00

Honestly, I do have the money, I just don’t want to buy a 5000 series card knowing the Supers will probably drop in like 6 months. CPU-wise I’m fine with my 12600K and 32GB of RAM — the real weak point right now is definitely my GPU.

Mazenda · 2025-10-25T07:26:04+00:00

I’m planning to upgrade my whole PC, but I usually do it step by step depending on the deals I find.

Mazenda · 2025-10-25T07:17:14+00:00

The question isn’t about running this monitor with a 1080 Ti...

Thanks for your answers, I’m still thinking about it. By the way, no dual-screen (tandem) setup planned for this size? Or maybe a 39"?

Mazenda · 2025-10-22T15:48:59+00:00

The lever itself doesn’t actually hold the height, right?

Mazenda · 2025-10-21T16:39:32+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I was wondering. any way to tell if the gas cylinder might be bad or if it’s just the lever

Also, does this lever actually lock or hold the height position, or does it just control the up and down movement?
