Why is it that every monitor i buy/use is subpar compared to an almost 10 year old lg "monitor tv" that my mom bought back then and was used almost non stop for 5 years?

Just spent 600$ on a samsung something something, its curved and freesync and whatever and then i put it next to the old lg and the samsung is so washed out and flickery.

    This is kinda my experience with lg stuff tho, the tv i bought for like 150$ is the best one i ever had, it easily tops the 4k 120cm ones we have at the office.

    because your mother bought it and you associate positive feelings towards that Monitor. So subsequently every monitor will be subpar for you 😉

    Yep. That's Samsung. CF791 operated in the wrong colorspace and no way to fix it without translation. I've never had a Samsung I didn't have to hack the color profile for. Definitely not my fave.

    Do some research before you buy?

    @yellow-dog I didn't mean reading the marketing wank but some independent reviews.

    @electrineer tbh its not really about how bad the samsung is, im mostly colorblind anyways, its just how great lg screens are

    check the pannel build type.

    TN pannel = washed out shit colors
    IPS pannel = better colors

    (rule of thumb)
