autobot Can I use my computer as normally without GPU? For example I play a lot of poker, is that possible still? Also I'm not really sure what you mean by "You can use it with a live usb" How does that work exactly

      Jl1994 Yes, the i7 14700K has an integrated GPU. It's obviously not as fast as a dedicated GPU but enough for light computer usage such as editing docs, surfing etc. It should also be possible to play Poker on a website.

      Live USB just means that you can install Ubuntu on a USB Stick and run it from there as well without installing it on your PC.

        moonpie Lower refresh to 60/70/75Hz (probably not needed)

        I do not recommend to reduce refresh rate due to some inversion artifacts visibility in gaming monitors.

        To mask such patterns, its very important to keep very high refresh rates

            simplex Do you agree with the other suggestions? Disabling VRR and Trace free techcnology for example

            Edit: Just did a quick search on VRR on the forum, seems like everyone agrees to turn it off. Didnt find much on trace free technology. Appreciate all the help guys.

                moonpie Is "Freesync premium" similar to VRR? I didnt find VRR but I found freesync premium which was turned off. Turned trace free to 0. Do you suggest to use "blue light filter"? Got one of those.

                Any other suggestions on features/gimmicks to turn off?

                  Is it possible to send a video here somehow btw? Took a slow-mo video of my screen. Looks like its flickering. Just wanted to confirm

                  Jl1994 Disabling VRR and Trace free techcnology for example

                  I dont have experience with VRR feature and comfort impact of it

                  But I do have experience with high-frequency monitors, where decreasing refresh rate to 60/50hz lead to eye-strain

                    moonpie Okay thanks. Btw I bought this monitor like 5 days ago. First 2 days the difference was crazy, felt so much better, headache so much better etc. Then after that started feeling worse again. It coincides with my computer starting to freeze randomly 4 or 5 times now which never happens usually. I'm hopeful something's up with the graphics or the computer that's causing the increase in symptoms again. Does that sound reasonable?

                      moonpie ubuntu 22.04 won't disable the gpu.So it's not a good way for testing

                        And thank you also aswell for your inputs @autobot

                        How do you guys know if the monitor is dithering or not? Any video of what it looks like or how to spot it?

                        moonpie even for testing

                        even old win XP or win7 could be useful for testing, to check OS influence

                        Get wide your mind, your not better than others
