LGTVCompanion VS BetterClearTypeTuner

Planning on picking up this exact model soon, just wanted to share this to wake the tv on lan when waking pc from sleep: https://github.com/JPersson77/LGTVCompanion

I am attempting to set up the LG TVCompanion app (github here) after entering the MAC/IP/Device Id etc. I attempt to hit the "Apply" button and am getting this error linked here. I have no idea what to do..?

u/Xurxor https://github.com/JPersson77/LGTVCompanion/releases/tag/v3.1.5 testing the app to auto shutoff and starts the screen over the network (my tv is via WIFI)

Get the LG TV Companion app to save yourself a lot of pain.

One of the really nice things about the C2 is way, way more people own one, and that means the community is big enough that it has solved its own issues. Literally every issue you can think of has a solution. For example they've built an app (https://github.com/JPersson77/LGTVCompanion) that handles turning it on and off for you to match your PC's state. And even better, as someone who frequently streams games from my PC to my Nvidia shield in the living room, the app has a check box that allows it to shut my PC screen off while still telling the computer that an HDR connected device is attached which allows me to avoid unnecessary runtime (and eventual burn-in) on the pc monitor when i'm not actually looking at it while streaming. The only way to do that with an the ASUS monitor is to buy a dongle that tricks your PC into thinking it's another display and switch to that when you're streaming which would be totally janky.

There is software for LG TVs that does that pretty well: https://github.com/JPersson77/LGTVCompanion

Check out LGTVCompanion on GitHub! You can mimic auto wake from sleep so you don’t need to use the remote to turn the tv on.

I have the 48" C2 and there are issues with text clarity at lower scaling (even 125%). I used Better ClearType Tuner to switch the antialiasing to grayscale and make it look better.

but the text on my AQDM looks better, use the greyscale anti aliasing with BetterClearTypeTuner https://github.com/bp2008/BetterClearTypeTuner

If it helps I've used Better ClearType Tuner in the past to get the text on my display looking just like I want it. https://github.com/bp2008/BetterClearTypeTuner

I'm pretty happy with https://github.com/bp2008/BetterClearTypeTuner

You tried this tool rtings recommend? https://github.com/bp2008/BetterClearTypeTuner "improves text clarity significantly, and the subpixel structure isn't noticeable with Font Antialiasing set to 'RGB' and Contrast set between 1800-2200, as shown here, but make sure you have access to run the program as an administrator for it to work"

I've owned the older sibling AW3423DW monitor since late last summer and have used the Better Clear Type Tuner tool since Day 1 to increase the text contrast.

The monitor is the most affordable 1440p high refresh rate IPS monitor that shouldn't be terrible, but if you want a safer option that is more well-reviewed, the (Acer Nitro XV272U Vbmiiprx)[https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/phH7YJ/acer-nitro-xv272u-vbmiiprx-270-2560x1440-170-hz-monitor-xv272u-vbmiiprx] is rated quite highly by Rtings (I believe they are the same model, though I might be wrong). The Gigabyte M27Q would be a very good option and even has a built in KVM, but this is the original M27Q which has some text clarity issues due to unusual subpixel layout (though MacType and Better Cleartype Tuner seem to help to resolve this issue).
