The monitor is the major component for photo-editing. Having an LG professional Oled probably has the edge, but they cost in the 3k range. When it comes to consumer oled, the manufacturer may not be pursuing color accuracy verse something like a BenQ. So in certain price ranges it may make more...

Pretty sure you can get AMD chips without the cooler for less cost. I would include the affiliate links for the CPUs as well. I decided in my last build, watercooling the cpu wasn't worth it, so I kept the stock cooler. Watercooling the GPU is so worth it on the other hand.

Whoops meant to click 24 not 16.

There was an architectural change with the 3k series. It would work well if you already own one, but not worth it to buy one.

LG probably won't disclose what panel they have on a monitor since this may or may not change based on production. It seems you got a monitor model from a different generation, but LG was probably using the same process to create the panel. So the upgrade for the generation was probably with the...

Samsung tends to over saturate by default, so you might wanna turn that down. If you want to be super accurate, get a color calibrator. They run about $100. There will be some variance due to different panels even after calibrating with hardware.

I recommend an Asus Eye Care line.

If the response time is 9ms, then there may be some post processing being done by the TV to enhance the image. If you ever had two TVs on the same channel in different rooms, you may notice they are delayed from one another. This is the effect of various post processing tools a manufacturer...

They use the same panel, the difference is in the Backlight. The 950 has dimming zones which is necessary for HDR 600 certification. I think the zones on this monitor are noticeable which I would turn off making the difference moot. So it's really a question if you want local dimming zones. You...

The HD 2800 XT was pretty bad. The HD 3070 was a good intermediate until the HD 4070 mopped the floor with nVidia. The HD 3070 offered the performance of the HD2800 XT yet more efficiently at the $200 price point. It also had a huge over clocking headroom. It's DX standard was basically DX11...

What DP cable standard are you using and what is your TV model? @helpstar hits every other point you are probably experiencing.

It depends on what you need the monitor for. If you need one the same size, I would get a duplicate because it makes a lot of things simpler and you have image parity.

I found with a lower brightness, there is a little image retention that goes away with a bright source. Gigabyte's pixel refresher isn't that convinient verse LGs.

Don't plan on going back.

The LG model is a slightly above midrange. So someplace between the G5 and G7. That one is a question of do you want more contrast or do you want better color accuracy. The LG will have more accurate colors. It will also be at the right saturation. Samsung tends to spec their monitors to be...
