My partner and I have a few new monitors, and some older ones. The new ones all seem to have the problem that the buttons are not responsive.
Often, if the monitor doesn’t detect a signal, you just can’t enter the menu and the monitor turns off. Which becomes annoying when you are trying to change the inout to something that is putting out signal.
On the older monitors, the menus and buttons seem wholly divorced from the monitors state beyond being on or off. You change inputs and the little blue menu doesn’t even blink.
So what changed technically speaking? I would imagine the newer monitors have faster micro controllers. Is there some standard everyone uses now that sucks? Or have I just gotten unlucky and many modern monitors have more responsive buttons?
Ok good to know— the monitors are the MSI 321URX and Samsung G9 Odyssey circa 2019. Most of the older ones are Dell. Any recommendations? Thanks!
As a general rule, I will try to standardize on Dell Ultrasharp monitors, now that they support 120hz, there is little reason for me to pick something else.
I am currently running a U2724D at home and it is brilliant!
U3219Q reporting in. The new U4025QW is looking pretty tasty though, 5120x2160, 120Hz, Thunderbolt hub, more ports than you can shake a stick at.
All of the U and S series Dells I’ve used have been great, and they’re by and large remarkably reasonably priced too.
