I just picked a G2490VX and this video is very relevant and helpful. Thank you!

Hi bro, it skips the "Color Setup" and the "Picture Boost" setting for me. Any way for me to fix??.

Thank you so much for all the info, once I set up the settings for my PC in the app, can I full close the program and it'll still keep the settings I made on the app? ( apps running in the background will take some fps so definitely don't want that running in the back)

I bought monitor speakers for the same one, how do I access the settings for them ?

Hi PC monitors, I am wondering if you can help me with my problem with this same exact monitor model. The input selector of my monitor keeps appearing randomly, and cycling through in the middle of the screen. It is as if the buttons on the bottom of the monitors are being erratically pressed randomly. Tried locking OSD but didn't work because the 'input selector button' won't lock (just the other buttons will lock). Ive been searching for solutions over the internet but none works so far.

The main menu system for me seems to not work most of the time, I set the OSD to Strong, and ever since, I am unable to bring it back up at all. The button itself just doesn't seem to work most of the time (the reason why I say most of the time is because it worked perfectly fine until I set OSD to strong, and now I only managed to get that menu once, at random). I tried turning off the display, holding the main menu system button and turning it on (found this information on the internet about unlocking OSD) but that just doesn't work. The button doesn't work in other menu's as well, like the far left menu that lets you select the output. Any idea what may be causing this? Is it a defective button? Cheers

I have monitor speakers that come with a usb cable and I noticed that I only have the 3.5mm audio jack. I bought and a usb to audio jack adapter but I don’t know how to access the sound or speaker settings for the usb like in the video. I don’t even have that option :/

You say that the hdr modes are worthless, but it seems my games have a weird motion blur around shadows and dark lines when i move my screens around without hdr rts on.

Hello! I recently got the CQ27G2 model on Tuesday. What would be the ideal best picture settings for games like Red Dead Redemption 2, or Forza Horizon 5? As for fps shooters, the main game I play is Call of Duty: MW 2019. I'd appreciate your feedback, considering this is my first 1440p moniter, and I converted from playing my series X on a 4k 60hz tv, to this...I'm still adjusting to it.

Can we change the crosshair shape?
There should be a dot crosshair as well but can’t change it for some reason

Hi bro, sorry for the question, can you also stretch on this monitor? I'm undecided whether to get an aoc 240hz or a benq ex2510s

[juiciestknives]

slightly confused, seems as we are using the same monitor, even checked the amazon link, but i have Amd Freesync instead of adaptive, my refresh max is 144, and my max res is 2560:1440...

I'm having Issues wit Dark colors on the monitor being pixelated and blocky weather it be image, video or games. I don't believe this is a driver issue since it is up to date and have adjusted many settings as well as factory resets.
Thus I belive this to be an Issue with the AOC monitor, any help here?

Hello, do you know where is the sharpness option?? please.🙏

[yendesss]

hey i have a question about the monitor. While I play most games i notice that there's a lot of ghosting/motion blur and it doesn't seem to be the same case to you and i wanna know if there's any way of removing the ghosting or motion blur

[strider]

It shits me that the display doesn't go all the way to the border.. There's a black rim around the sides and top

How do you go to that home screen when it's hooked to PS5?
