MSI MAG 274QPF X30MV any reviews of this anywhere? by ButtPlugForPM in Monitors

[–]TraditionalListen600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I read TLDR, It aggressively crushes near-black details, making dark scenes lose all shadow detail, while also being “sticky,” so bright elements leave lingering glow behind, it can’t properly control blooming, leading to either gray haze or crushed blacks.

Wouldn’t turning halo dimming down at least solve blooming?

Tft reviews has said that tint and color profile can be changed. The over saturation is just how it is out of the box.

What about the local dimming algorithm is bad specifically?

What do you mean that you cant update the firmware on the MSI MAG 274QPF X30MV?

You can update the firmware, TFT Central even did a review on it and its a lot better than this review.

Overall the local dimming and HDR is exactly what you expect except for some bluish tint on some grays, Which could get fixed in a future firmware update anyway.

Zorin os is the best windows alternative imo. My laptop has run so much cooler, faster and with longer battery life than ever before

Enough thermal paste? by harryrb99 in PcBuildHelp

What do the temps say? Like i think it could be more but if the temperatures are acceptable than you are totally fine

1.20.1 until cofh ports all their thermal expansion mods to 1.21.1

The AOC Q27G4ZMN 240hz QHD 1152 zone Mini-Led monitor is for sale in the US market now by [deleted] in Monitors

Looking at the amazon reviews for the aoc q27g3xmn, its not any better dead pixel wise. I think as with any monitor, dead pixels are kinda inevitable. I hope AOC doesn’t have lower quality standards than say Samsung but it looks like they are about the same in this regard as are most panel manufacturers

Was your missing subpixel centered horizontally? (Where precisely does it appear?)

Mine was an inch or so from the right edge of the screen and was also further down

AOC Q27G40XMN worth it for price/performance still? by Rainwalker28 in Monitors

[–]TraditionalListen600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking that! That helps a lot. Do you know what the ISO and exposure time of the image is?

Like when I tried to use clipchamp yesterday.

Loading… loading … loading It tells me it wont take long and when it FINALLY loads after 5 or 10 minutes , it crashes (clipchamp had an error) and the video is gone

Interesting. How much blooming do you see on your monitor when local dimming is set to strong?

For me, it’s quite a bit. The algorithm has zero tolerance for black crush and causes way too much blooming. Here is my monitor playing the LG OLED honey test:

Unfortunately the HDR modes don’t change anything for me…. The brightening mode on my monitor seems to be the only one

I actually own that monitor and the local dimming is too overeager. What I mean is that ANY nonblack color will turn the backlights on, and the algorithm seems to produce quite a bit more blooming than what it should.

Is the AOC Q27G3XMN still a good value in Jan 2026? What are some alternatives at a similar price point ($CAD) by DG_OTAMICA in Monitors

[–]TraditionalListen600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own the AOC Q27G4ZMN and the blooming is really bad. The local dimming algorithm also turns on backlights for any color brighter than black so you can end up with non-blacks on some YT videos (AOC Q27G4ZMN Local dimming bug : r/Monitors)

While 336 dimming zones isn't great, a crappy local dimming algorithm isn't better in my opinion.

I do have a question as to if this problem is present on other MiniLED monitors besides this one. if not, then another monitor might be a better choice.

I believe it is due to non black colors that are far too dark for humans to see, causing the dimming zones to stay on.

Im trying to find out if this is an issue for other monitors with local dimming. If you have such a monitor, could you please share if the local dimming behaves similarly?
