by

Enabling G-Sync on your LG 38GN950 monitor can significantly improve your gaming experience by reducing screen tearing and providing smoother visuals. Follow these steps to activate G-Sync and optimize your settings for the best performance.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure your graphics card supports G-Sync (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 series or newer).
  • Use a DisplayPort cable, as G-Sync typically requires it for optimal performance.
  • Update your graphics card drivers to the latest version.
  • Make sure your monitor firmware is up to date.

Enabling G-Sync on the LG 38GN950

Follow these steps to enable G-Sync through the NVIDIA Control Panel:

Access NVIDIA Control Panel

Right-click on your desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel. If it’s not visible, ensure your graphics drivers are correctly installed.

Enable G-Sync

In the NVIDIA Control Panel, navigate to Display > Set up G-SYNC.

Check the box for Enable G-SYNC, G-SYNC Compatible. Select Enable for full screen mode or Enable for windowed and full screen mode based on your preference.

Configure Your Monitor

Ensure your LG 38GN950 is selected as the primary display. Apply the changes and close the control panel.

Optimizing Monitor Settings

Adjust your monitor settings for optimal performance and image quality directly through the monitor’s on-screen display (OSD):

Adjust Picture Settings

  • Set Response Time to Fast or Fastest.
  • Enable Black Stabilizer for better visibility in dark scenes.
  • Adjust Brightness and Contrast to your preference.

Disable Unnecessary Features

  • Turn off Dynamic Action Sync if enabled.
  • Disable any preset modes that may interfere with G-Sync performance.

Additional Tips for Optimal Experience

To get the best experience, consider the following:

  • Use the latest graphics drivers and monitor firmware updates.
  • Set your in-game refresh rate to match the monitor’s maximum refresh rate (144Hz).
  • Enable V-Sync in games only if necessary; G-Sync typically handles synchronization.
  • Adjust in-game graphics settings to maintain high frame rates for smoother G-Sync operation.

Enjoy a seamless and immersive gaming experience with your LG 38GN950 and G-Sync enabled.
