lol

hey, thanks. Glad you like the review. That's a good question, I think you can.

@@lcadigitalmedia thank you

damn! that's a good deal

Damn, thanks a lot! Appreciate it. hope you're going to get adjusted to the keyboard as it is really a nice keyboard, just need some adjusting lol

what do you mean by audible selfnoise?

@@lcadigitalmedia could be heard and annoying

I'm not a Mic Expert and I didn't test that unfortunately. I only compared the output of each mic out of the box, which the Senheisser has a lower base output level than the Rode Mic. So I preferred the SEnheisser for that to minimize my untreated studio rather than spending 1000hours of treating my studio in NYC.

@@lcadigitalmedia do you reduce noise in editing or not?

@@ngocehgayabebas2118 not really, I actually normalize or raise the audio a bit during post since I lower the input level during recording to eliminate all background noise.

Dolby Vision is already HDR. the HDR mode is 10-bit while Dolby Vision is 12-bit, and dynamic.

hmmm... maybe check your bitrate, and format on OBS?

@@lcadigitalmedia WHat is the right bitrate

@@adityakumarsingh9229 there's no magic bullet, you will have to test (trial and error) to find the best one for your set

it's just Razer being what Apple is doing lol. The old TrashCan MacPro is still being sold for almost $5K which is stupid lol

I did not experience it during the test with the games, but yeah, VRR Flickering is damn annoying. My Brother has this OLED Monitor and he hasn't complained anything about flickering to me.

Hey, I use a 360 in the case, so the 280 should be fine.

@@lcadigitalmedia my main concern is radiator height + fan = nearly 65 mm, how it will fit on top

the Radiator is inside those top mesh grill where you can remove the top panel as well, and the fans will be seen on the top part through the glass. You may want to ask NZXT Chat support to be sure.

Hey, Yeah, I think the AM8T sounds pretty good for academic videos, especially if you don't have a treated environment, it should minimize a lot of the background noise.

@@lcadigitalmedia thanks man

That's a very good question. I initially placed a USB Fan under it but then I realized this is supposed to be screwed on the ceiling without any fans, so I just placed on w/o the fan, though I still placed the metal plates in there as a heat sink. So Far I don't find it too hot or never really checked on it. I figured, if this was placed on the ceiling, then Ubiquiti already tested the heat on this device and that it should be able to handle it.

Heat kills electronics. 50c on case means 100 degc on soc. Also means lot if wasted energy/electricity. So im interested in it

@@kwazar6725then you could buy those small usb fan but that might get complicated if you plan on screwing it to the ceiling or the wall

​@@lcadigitalmediahow do other manufacturers get away without any heat? I dont want a mostly idle device using lots of power.

@@kwazar6725 IMHO, this AP and the older versions are intended to be screwed on the ceiling and they are passively cooled, so I don't think heat plays a major issue, I mean I understand heat degrades the chips over time but by the time you will see visible performance degradation in 5 years or so, there will be new tech already that you may be upgrading already. Like I always thought my CPU and/or Monitors will be the same for the next 10 years but every 2 - 3 years, I'm always temped to upgrade lol

it was upscaled to 4K due to Ray Tracing enabled lol, didn't want to play 4K native without Ray Tracing for testing. I typically play 4K resolution only, but I wanted to see how it looked like with Ray Tracing on :D

who's everyone else's box? LOL. that would be weird if it's just basic cardboard for an $800-$900 monitor

@@lcadigitalmedia I am also surprised, by now I have seen many videos on it all have cardboard box. Search on youtube!

I believe its because the version with basic cardboard box is the 27GS95QE-B and the version this guy tested does not have the "B" at the end

@@kfs439 That's interesting. I didn't even know that. Any reason you think why they'd just use a basic box for the "-B" Version?

@@lcadigitalmedia no clue, maybe something to lower the cost, like the cardboard box idk

Hey, thanks for watching the video. I'm using the Zoom H8 Audio Interface/Recorder

you will forever be ruined on watching regular LED Screens LOL!

I used to be very OCD about the HDR Settings, and you would want to use a colorimeter to calibrate them even more but honestly, the colors are already great compared to the regular LED Panels even for SDR.

How can he reach 4k while is not 4k? And is it possible to reach 4k on pc ?

@@neosaber4 what he meant was that it can render 4k from the GPU but then it will downscale to the Monitor's resolution

@@lcadigitalmedia talking about series x … i have a 1440p monitor but i’m not able to put 4k resolution.. how is this guy able to put 4k resolution on xbox series x if the monitor is only 1440p????

@@neosaber4 I dont know about the XBOX settings, but on PC, you can enable Super Resolution on AMD Radeon, and the equivalent to Nvidia.

99% of OLED Screens have Auto Brightness Limiter (ABL) to preserve and minimize burn-ins. So basically, at 100% white screen, it will only use about 20-30% nits or somewhere around 150-200 nits, while at 10% - 20% white screen, it will use 100% nix (max capacity). I dont have the exact numbers for this Monitor but it will be like that

I honestly didn't notice it! Thanks for the catch! Need to fix it lol

Np thee partner 👍

Thanks! Appreciate it. I have a new review on another Keyboard, which will be published next week.

I use this 80% of the time on my macOS VM on unraid server! :D I just used windows 11 VM during the video because of games. It's pretty good on the macOS, but don't expect dolby vision enabled as macOS currently only has HDR option. Not to be confused with Apple TV+'s content which are all on Dolby Vision. As for my sound system, on my Workstation/Server, I have an external DAC with Kanto Studio Speakers, you can check on my gear on the description :) It will look good on PS5, Consoles can only really get up to 120FPS dynamic (not constant), where this monitor shines is if you can maximize the 240hz :)

good question. Every OLED will have a pixel refresh but they automatically do it when the screen is off. You don't have to do it manually

When you want to turn it ogf yes it will ask you but not mid gaming

@@relmex432hz4 it would be damn annoying if it asks you mid game lol.

Hey, You're right. Haven't gotten the best settings to capture games using streamlabs for some reason. I'm working on getting the best/optimized settings though. Thanks for your feedback

@@lcadigitalmedia pas de soucis ^^ continuez comme ça vous trouverez les bon paramètres a force , bonne continuation

that's a good question. l Believe it's RWBG.

Rwbg

The HDR is not bad, it's sufficient; but I don't recall peaking at 1200 nits on the LG 27GS95QE, the Alienware does.

@@lcadigitalmedia Rtings and Viktor mentioned it peaked to almost 1200 nits at a 2% window in the "High peak brightness" setting. Also do you think it's worth upgrading from a VA panel with 8 edge lit dimming zones? Don't wanna drop $1000 on a monitor only to find OLED HDR is overrated lol.

​@@msnehamukherjee interesting. from a VA panel, it's night and day; IPS is generally regarding as the best in color quality for LED (over VA), and your VA panel only has 8 edge lit dimming zones, that's nowhere near the top FALD monitors that has about 1000 dimming zones of micro-LED, which means you're getting lots of Blooms, or shining around the object being lit. Now imagine, every pixel turns can turn on/off independently, which means on a 1440p (2560 x 1440), that's 3,686,400 pixels of the dimming zones; so you get unlimited contrast. You can compare the OLED panel over the LED panel in a pitch black room, sort'a like a movie theatre and you will see it night and day, Not to mention the input latency since it's per pixel, it's 1ms; but another thing to check as well is the max brightness of every OLED panel, this one is 600nits, the alienware is 1000nits but that's on the other side of the spectrum. in short, OLED will spoil you of every other LED (Regular) monitor once you try it.

@@lcadigitalmedia Thank you for giving a perspective. I do have an AMOLED phone with Dolby Vision so I'm aware of the contrast ratio it gives in a dark room. I just don't know how this carries over to the monitor lol. One final question. I have two options to choose from currently, this LG one and the other being a Samsung Odyssey G6 OLED which is a QD OLED monitor. Which one would you choose personally if HDR wow factor is the biggest priority?

@@msnehamukherjee I'd pick which one is cheaper

I"m using Nitro+ 6900 XT SE; 3080ti should be more than enough :D

you will be mostly fine but dont expect to play all AAA games in 4k at 60 fps

congratz!

hey, that's a good question. For your case, that will depend on your Fire TV Stick if it supports 4K Dolby Vision. The Alienware has Dolby Vision option and it does show on the Win 11 Netflix desktop app when I played dolby vision there

yes it does i have it

Yup, I use the 4k max stick with mine, it automatically switches the monitor to dolby vision mode when there's content for it and it works great. haven't tested with netflix but I'm watching the fallout series on prime at the moment

Congratz on buying the keyboard! The clacky sound is really good but I'm the same with you, the switch is a bit too soft, especially coming from the navy blue; There definitely is a learning curve for your muscle memory but you won't regret this keyboard.

same here, i love the keyboard, but I think i'll be replacing the switches that came with it soon. kind of regret ordering this keyboard with the gateron red switches. the quiet smooth typing is nice, but i've grown used to the pressure of a tactile switch.

@@s3rg3i damn, and I thought the brown was too soft for me, but you bought with the red switches lol. It's also a bit surprising since most people who buys red switches, they don't like pressing heavy unless you are coming froma tactile or clicky switch. I am getting used to the brown switches but I still mistype quite a few even on games like Dota 2 lol, and that's not even typing

@@lcadigitalmedia yea I screwed up 😆 . I loved the sound on the particular switch, so went by that. i'm still a n00b with switches and didn't realize these would require so little force. lesson learned i guess, haha. I came from an "Ajazz AK510" keyboard off amazon, which came with tactile switches with a noticeable actuation force. I dunno, maybe i'll get used to these...

Hey, I'm curious as to why you let go of it and why it isn't worth it for you.

@@lcadigitalmedia as we know qd oled all of them were oem by samsung. Dont think there is any noticeable difference among them. You should reconsider only when it falls below $1k. It’s crazy to see a 32” price closed to my 55” oled tv.

@@dllg7032 Yup! I agree with you're saying. Mine came out to be around $799, while my LG 27GN950 a few years back was around $900. Though, you can't really compare TV to Monitors, it's calibrated for different use cases. TV is focused more on movie viewing which most of them doesn't have the full color range (16~235) vs the Monitor (0~255); The isn't also optimized for text clarity, try hooking up your OLED TV to a computer, and the text isn't as crisp. There's also the latency aspect, OLED have <1ms response time but that's only 1 aspect of latency. Either way though, OLED is great for color reproduction and unlimited contrasts. I have both the Monitor and 55" TV, it kinda spoils it for the IPS now lol

You are totally right about that. 90% of the people should be buying the 4K IPS Panel; but oddly enough, I remember getting the LG 27GN950, and it was about $899 a few years ago, and this OLED panel on sale was $999 - $200 Dell Credits I had lying around, it turned out to be cheaper lol.

What's satisfactory for you may not be satisfactory for other's. OLED is faster and more responsive than IPS so I'd say OLED is the way to go if you care about great picture quality, high refresh rate, and fast response time. The bare minimum.

@@RedSky8 I agree with both of you. the 4K OLED is definitely a niche and if you're cash strapped, the IPS is more than enough for color quality or if you're into high refresh rate, then TN but if you want both and don't mind shelling, then there's OLED.

Thanks! appreciate it.

They have both different use cases. This Hoto Screwdriver is for electronics for those tiny screws, and all, while the Ryobi is more like for furniture and/or construction like my Makita tools! :D

Hey, I don't recommend putting satellites on this. I don't think it's worth the hassle. You're better off buying the Sound Blaster speakers for under $100

Thanks!

Yes and no. Yes, in a sense that you can hook up a wireless access point to it and set up its interface and firewall rules and all but no, that this is intended to be a (enterprise) firewall router where you'd be hooking up a switch, and the wireless access point is hooked up to it (switch). What you are thinking is an all-in-one router/modem/wireless AP (wifi) that your ISP provides.

@@lcadigitalmedia so this device plugs into the modem, then the switch. The wireless router can be plugged into the switch after it has been configured. Have I got these steps correct?

So there's a big misconception about routers and wifi. A Router is like the middle man that connects your (Local) Devices to the Internet (WAN). It routes packet from the your device to the internet and back, thus, having internet connectivity. A (Managed) switch connects your local devices so they can communicate with each other, and may be able to manage which device can go to which device or the internet. A Wireless Access Point or Wifi, is the access point where your local device can connect into, then go to the a switch, then the switch sends it to the router. pfSense is both a router and a firewall software app that manages which device can go to the internet, or which device can pass through to the other computer. Your ISP's Router/Modem is an all-in-one solution that has a router, switch, and wireless access point all in one, but is limited or average in what it does. This Protecli Vault is basically a mini computer that specifically has the H/W Components for routing. so you need to install pfSense in it for this to operate, otherwise, it's just an empty computer. So to answer your question: - This connects to the internet and your local devices like switch, then PC; or the Wireless Access point connects to the switch then router. - Think of this as an expert in routing and firewall, then you'd hire an expert contracter in switching, then hire a contracter for wireless. I have 2 upcoming unboxing reviews for the Unifi Switch, and Unifi U7 Pro (wireless access point). Let me know if this makes sense :D

So basically, Modem > (this) Router > Switch > Wireless Access Point (wifi) > Comptuer; or Switch > (wired) Computer like this image: i.imgur.com/lAo2qTe.jpg

Yup! it's 4K 240Hz

Hell yeah! It's what makes sense currently price/performance ratio, especially when it was on sale for $999. MS just needs to fix the Dolby Vision issue with all OLED with VRR.

Indeed it is! Good for GOT/HOTD but bad for eSports lol

yeah, probably that's the one.

not sure what you mean by this but this has VRR - Variable Refresh Rate which is basically freesync. Maybe you mean no Freesync Certification by AMD, but it doesn't mean it doesn't support VRR. I play Dota 2 and that game is not optimized, FPS can fluctuate from 240fps - 110fps, and VRR is working

Thanks! Appreciate it.

nice! that's awesome! enable the Anti-lag though to balance out the latency

You can get this one and compare, and see which one you will return lol

Hey, thanks for liking the video. appreciate it. Yes, All the time! lol. I have set all the things to avoid burn as much as possible

Hey, Yes GPU is important when you are primarly playing AAA Games and want the HDR on all the time. I do have Sapphire Nitro+ 6900 XT SE which is more than enough to enable HDR on all the time; I know, I'm using AMD instead of NVidia because I have a macOS VM in my server, and Apple doesn't want to support Nvidia. however, if you just want HDR for watching movies, you really don't need more than an RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT :)

Yes, for $750, I think it's a great deal. It was on sale for $999! and I had $200 Dell Credits that I need to use, so $799 Brand New ain't so bad. Ended up cheaper than my LG 27GN950 2 yrs ago.

That's a good question. This monitor does not have a built-in speakers, and all monitors that have built-in speakers are tiny, so I never recommend them. This Dell Alienware Monitor though has an eARC HDMI 2.1 port that you can hook up your eARC compatible Speakers.

buy speakers that have an HDMI port and connect them to the monitor to the eARC HDMI port and you will get sound. connect your console to the NON eARC HDMI port. there are 2 HDMI ports. one is for speakers and one is for the console
