Does the image cleaning automatically start on shutoff after a long gaming session?
@@justinjones2846 yep! Auto starts after lengthy “away” times.
Often I come back and it says pixel cleaning has completed
@@MinimalisTech After it runs the Cleaning, do you have to manually turn the monitor back on, or do you just move your mouse and everything resumes from sleep like normal?
is it suitable for cinema movies? i mean it has some frame motion mode ?
Elephant in the room: none of HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4 won't give you 4K@240 without compression.. wtf?
I've seen so many discussions that simply dismiss the fact that it has speakers as if literally no one would conceive of using it because it has lower quality than dedicated speakers. But for those times when I don't want to use headphones, like just watching youtube, then the desk space saved by not having a dedicated speaker on my desk is so much more convenient. I wish more monitors have speakers just for the convenience.
Great review and I love how interactive you are with folks in the comments. Subbed! Thank you for the great content! I'm looking forward to you comparing the LG and the MSI!
Thanks dude! Probably gonna have that video live in about a week and half! Appreciate the sub and you stopping by. Cheers!
Great review, man! You’re literally the only one who talked about the pixel sound feature and it was really important to me for a clean desk setup. I’m glad that it’s not a gimmick and actually sounds great! Brightness was also very important with lots of OLEDs having pretty low SDR nits. Throw in the fact that you touched up on MacBook compatibility and I’ll be getting this monitor for sure and you’ve got a new subscriber! Cheers
eeyyy thanks Viper. Happy the review helped. Pixel sound is definitely not a gimmick, legit sounds incredible.
Cheers man! if you got any questions lemmie know
lol built in speakers
@@NecroMorrius worthless comment of the day award
@@NecroMorrius It's a big deal for people who don't live in mom's basement. The WAF and the minimalism are valuable to a lot of folks actually bringing money.
@@MinimalisTech a little follow-up. I got the monitor and absolutely love it! Thanks again. 🤙🏻
Love your enthusiasm. Great! presentation man keep up!
Really Amazing Review! Subbed! Keep up the great content. Pre ordered this monitor after seeing optimums video and this video got me even more hyped to get it! Love how in depth you went!
Hey thanks dude. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Absolutely incredible monitor
I pre-ordered mine day one. This will be my first OLED monitor, so i'm very excited.
Niceeeee. It’s hard to try anything else after OLED
I had a 14 inch square tn monitor which shows blank screen so I just bought a miniled fast ips monitor from Xiaomi which have 4000+ led beads and 1150 dimming zones..the panel is source from BOE. Can't wait@@MinimalisTech
Congrats! 🎉
How are you liking it?
How is it so far I’ve heard bad reviews on the Matte coating
Got mine. Love LG OLED TVs and monitors. I have this monitor and the LG 48" OLED. Great for editing photos with the accurate colors.
You are super underrated keep it up bro
Appreciate it!!
Great review buddy
Thanks homie!
@@MinimalisTech Your video camera is terrible, you need a much better camera for reviews
@@user-pu2ro8ok3r ok!
What’s up bro, dope as video! I just got mine at Best Buy that I need to pick up. This one I think I’ll keep for sure. I’m Excited, so I’m going down the bunny hole of all the reviews lol
Nice dude. Still love mine. Been using it just about everyday
Thank you for this review; this seems like the perfect monitor for me. I work right next to a huge window so need this coating. However, I am pretty bummed this doesn’t come with a KVM switch built in, especially at this price point.
Yeah same, that type C port/kvm is what I felt was missing too.
Knowing the dimensions of stand and how far the screen sits has helped me as I have limited desk depth. It will fit and not be in my face too much 😂. Thanks.
Does it have sharpening filters? Like it sharpens the display on the monitor itself or has sharpness adjustment. Have you tried to do custom resolutions in 480hz node ?
I like your video a lot thank you
This truly looks like a worthwhile endgame monitor and I’m really tempted to pick one up. That said after using the LG 45GR95QE-B as my main gaming monitor for a few weeks, I don’t think I can go back to something smaller as the sense of scale and immersion given by 45inch display is on another level entirely. (Even 34 inch ultrawides feel kind of cramped now)
I looooved my 45gr95QUE. I only used it for gaming though, the PPI was too low for my productive work. I'm thinking of checking the 39" new one though.
im stuck in sorta the same boat, i want a 38 inch size 240hz oled so i can stack it with my other 38inch uw. :( just got to keep dreaming until something comes out that fits the needs.
Been thinking about getting this monitor
Great review, been weighing this up against some of the QD-OLEDS and its a tough call (plenty of time to wait as its not arrived in europe) - Must say its actually the built in speakers thats swinging it for me, such a nice quality of life thing for watching the odd anime over lunch instead of always headset outside of gaming, game mode switch is awesome and while QD pops, the depth of black and and cleanness of WOLED is hard to describe compared to actually seeing. Got a WOLED LG TV, that looks great, 0 burn in after a few years and that alone makes me think I'll stick with LG on the monitor too
Also minimalist style slaps! This is the cleanest look for sure
Thank you 4 the review ❤ can I have some information about the floating levitating lamp?
Hey for sure! It’s this one

@@MinimalisTech Thank you 😊 🙏 💓
Thanka for the review
My absolute pleasure!
@@MinimalisTech can u compare it please to the asus rog- Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM QD Oled
@@aspiringpianist I’d love to but I haven’t been able to get one.
I have the MSI 321URX though which is also QD OLED. Will be comparing in the next week and a half or so
That's cool too
Thanks for review! I'm looking forward for this monitor.
I have one question, can You check power draw on white screen with luminance set to 150-200 nits? I'm plan using this one for gaming and work and in my region electricity is quite expensive :)
I don’t have a multimeter to measure! Sorry dude. I’ll see what I can find out though. Hang tight!
Awesome review man!
Quick question, is the 4k240hz and fhd480hz possible over the hdmi2.1 port? Or does it have to go through the DP1.4 port with DSC?
Yo! Great question dude, you made me unhook all my stuff lmao. Yes it works on HDMI 2.1. Makes sense since HDMI 2.1 has more bandwidth than DP1.4/DSC. But YUP no issue at all dual mode through HDMI 2.1
Thanks so much man!
@@jttheacgnerd yeah for sure brotha. Appreciate you asking that question. It’s a good one 👊🏽👊🏽
My calculations come out with: HDMI 2.1 bandwidth can handle 1080p 480hz 10bit without DSC. It will be really great for the people with DSC problems (like black screens for some Nvidia GPUs and visually-lossless-but-lossy images).
Great review! How does the brightness and colors compare to the Alienware QD-OLED monitor you review recently?
I *feel* like this LG WOLED brighter?? Not entirely sure. I returned my AW for the MSI QDOLED which showed up yesterday. I’m gonna be doing some comparisons in about a week or two! So hopefully that video pops up on your feed.
@@MinimalisTech Looking forward to hearing your comparison between QD OLED and this LG OLED
I'm debating keeping my PG32UCDM or getting a dual mode one. I will miss the glossy finish thoo
In 27 inches mode do you still have VRR? Asus does not support VRR when aspect ratio 27" is activated.
Great Video. How do you find switching between Mac and PS5? I notice you have the KVM switch, how long does that take to switch between inputs?
if I go through my KVM dock, literally 1 or 2s,
Going through the on-monitor inputs swap, maybe 4s? I'm actually just going right through the monitor though since most TB docks don't support VRR which I rather have by going HDMI direct on ps5
@@MinimalisTech ok that’s great. Many thanks
How is the picture in 1080p and 480hz. Is the scaling good or is it rllly bad?
Nice review! Cool display.
If only I could get 45” wide monitor with these specs, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
The 39” version is out too I think! Looks pretty sweet. I can’t imagine Speaker would be possible behind the curved display but I’m tempted to check that one out!
@@MinimalisTechalienware or lg ???
@@joaquinarchivaldoguzmanloe1073 LG and Asus both have one.
Asus PG39WCDN
LG 39GS95QE
@@MinimalisTech i mean so far what do u think is a better monitor alienware new 32in oled or LG?
@@joaquinarchivaldoguzmanloe1073 oh hands down the LG. The Alienware missing a headphone jack alone was kinda off putting. The curve was pretty nice. I don’t reeeaallly have a flat vs curved preference but I’m leaning flat.
For me the dual mode and speaker are just perfect. Neither have a type C kvm but I already have thunderbolt docks to work with.
The LG for me sorta just nails everything I specifically need plus some surprises I wasn’t expecting.
That's very nice monitor for gamint and editing 📺
That dual mode looks cool, but I am afraid it will cause burn in quite fast. They should have implemented some kind of "ambient" lighting as an option to black bars.
Good review! Did you get any information from LG when this Monitor will get to Europe?
not yet! I've got a running list to ask them, so I"ll shoot them an email this evening
I have seen delivery dates on EU sites for mid to late June.
First of all, I've been waiting for this product. Thank you so much for reviewing it
1. Do you think the difference in quality is very big in the 24/27 inch mode? It doesn't look very bad when viewed from the video, but I'm worried that the difference will be big
2. Is it possible to lower hz at 4k or fhd? or is it fixed
3. Do you think this monitor is good for normal video editing
Yo!! Happy to review it and thanks for clicking!
1. Yes! It absolutely is jarring going from 4k to 1080p - that said, you reaaaally do get used to the 1080p after about 5minutes. Typically you'd be using this mode for those competitive titles at 480hz, so it's expected. That said, for some reason the 1080p 480hz mode was less blurry at 32" vs 24/27, I mention this in the video with some examples.
2. Yes you can lower the refresh rate to whatever you want. My MacBook through the dock for example is set to 60hz at 4k granted that's just a limitation of my thunderbolt dock. Still, 4k at 120hz on ps5 or my other PC with a 2070 I can adjust my refresh rate in windows display settings.
3. Absolutely! Edited my last two videos on here. It's bright as heck in HDR mode so all my colour grading and editing went better than expected.
@@MinimalisTech I didn't know I'd get an answer so soon. I was touched by your kindness ㅜㅜ As a person waiting for this product, you have been very helpful. I wish the channel even more and more success. Thank you!
haha thanks man, really appreciate it. Happy to help @@user-jx3cp4rw3s
I need a 40" plus version of this monitor, preferably in 21:9 aspect ratio
Hey bro, how does this monitor cooled? Is it cool by a fan or does it cooled passively by some sort of heat sinks? If it’s a fan, is it audible? Love your content
yo! I haven't heard back from LG about the cooling yet. From what I've researched online it's actively cooled. Taking a closer look literally right now I'm actually seeing a fan grille on the top of the monitor which sorta confirms it's actively cooled.
That said, I've of course heard nothing as of yet for the fan that would be inside this thing even pressing my ear against it under max load.
cheers
@@MinimalisTech Would really like to know this too, please keep us updated~ thanks
@@evl619 yo! Active cooling it looks. I prolly won’t hear back till mid week. But doing more research and the fact there’s a grille on the top of the monitor points to active cooling.
Still I’ve been trying to hear it and even pressing my ear to the grille under full load I haven’t heard anything still.
Wondering if it kicks in after hours of gaming.
Will update when I hear back tho ✌🏽
@@MinimalisTech Sucks that it has a fan. Like LG software and design, but the fan will lead me to Asus.
Nice review, great monitor… what is the measurement from back of the wall to front of stand, have a feeling might be too big for my setup.
he said it's 5 inches from yhe wall to the screen, so I would assume making sure you have at least 9-10 inches of space would be optimal
Thanks man👍@@lucalage3610
Thanks man 👍@@lucalage3610
matte def. has a glimmer effect or "dirty" look on solid colors. have this monitor but going back to glossy.
Do you know when this will be available at place like microcenter?
Thanks for the great video! Is it possible to turn off the LEDs on the back of the monitor?
Yep! They can be turned off
@@MinimalisTech awesome! Thanks for the reply
Thanks!@@MinimalisTech
Great review! One question I have regarding the 1080p mode: is it a big adjustment coming from a game say like RDR2 (4k mode) to a comp shooter like OW (1080p mode) mainly in just fidelity?
Absolutely. Very much expected tho.
If you’re legit swapping direct it’s jarring but if you’re starting fresh session right at 1080 it’s less shocking.
I still main the 1080p mode when I’m playing Overwatch. It’s sick
@@MinimalisTech thank you for the response! So if you were in the market for a new monitor, this or the Asus 4k 240?
@@hafbakedsnake706 there’s so many good ones. Personally this LG was the one I was waiting for because the dual mode and speaker. I’m big into competitive fps so it ticks a lot of boxes. I think my 2nd go to would maybe be the Dough Spectrum black but that one hasn’t released yet
@@MinimalisTech last question: does the ‘matte’ finish really make that big of a difference vs glossy? (I game in a pitch black room)
@@hafbakedsnake706 if you’re in a pitch black room glossy would probably give you a better experience. If you’re undecided though for that specifically I’d dig into which features you like the most etc like speakers or type c etc
great review as always. I'd personally be interested if they offer this in a 42" option.
Thanks Skippity! appreciate it. This in 42" would be nuts! I think it'd cannibalize some of their 42" C-series but we can dream!
question, does the 24" and 27" crop mode work at 4k 240hz too? and if it does, is it blurry like the 480hz 1080p 24" and 27" crop mode you mentioned?
Yo! the crop only works on the 1080 dual mode it looks like. No other menu options to crop the 4k
Does it have USB C hub. You know for charging laptop and all that
would you recommend this over any UW? Looking at this or the Alienware DWF.
Thank is advance.
Unless you specifically need the layout that works like two 24/27" monitors next to each other, UW is a garbage trend that is overhyped by AW and Samsung and looks cool in marketing but makes very little sense in practice. Most games get very weirdly stretched sides on UW, while the vertical scenery which is also an important part of most games gets cut off. 16:9 like the LG just makes more sense for most content, and fits movies and series perfectly, while also offering more vertical space for work and browsing. Go with the LG.
How do you get your MacBook to color correct? Mine is always purple and green with the 27inch OLED.
Hey, I actually didn't do anything out of box. Simply just used it. Swapped it to the custom "0" setting for cool/warm in the monitor menus.
i just play console series x n ps5.i got the 27in lg oled and astro a50x off amazon for $1100..just waiting on ps5 pro and im set for the next 5-10yrs 😁LG is 🤟🏾
Hi!

Yeah Bro you re good .I would be excited too when I have all this Goodies )),
Thank you again and you Enjoy your life ,
Best wishes to all others who like good Things and can afford in this one lifetime,
God Bless & Take Care!
If you can check out the 1080p for how it looks for old games like BG2 or Arcanum; i know for a fact that trying to run Arcanum at 1440p on a 27th looks really really bad since it was made for 1080p and older screens. So far no one talking about using the 1080p for retro games. Clearly 4k will be nice for BG3, other AA and indie games Even with my 6950xt. To make myself even more odd, I run Manjaro KDE Linux
Isn't this an issue for for?I'm a graphic designer worried it affects color accuracy.
Also don't you get tired more quickly than IPS?
Personally I don’t have any fatigue compared to ips at all. I think the older OLED panels that had bad text fringing caused that. That said I’ve been doing all my creation work and grading with this monitor and it’s held up incredibly well. I think due to the HDR brightness. Not sure how that would translate to design but I really like it
@@MinimalisTech thanks I appreciate the comment, I’m thinking investing in a nice 4K OLED to future proof and this one seems one of them. Just worried about color accuracy I don’t want to work on something that it translates different for the rest of people “IPS” or VA. But our phones are AMOLED already so… I’ll wait for a sale thanks!
no optical audio port on this one? I preordered it a week or 2 ago.
How much you think this will be in a year?
I'm really skeptical about the crispness of the text. I tried the latest 32" 4K QD-OLED and the text was just not sharp enough comparing to a 27" 4k IPS. It was slightly blurry which is a blocker for design work. I know this LG uses a different subpixel layout than the QD-OLED panel, so I'm really curious how sharp the text is on this one. If it is sharp enough, then this is the end game!
I feel you! Bad text would be a deal breaker for me too. i've got my MSI QDOLED coming today i'll be comparing these both real soon
@@MinimalisTech Which monitor is that exactly?
I want to know how the 1080p mode compares to a *native* 1080p monitor in picture quality
The only thing holding me back is the matte coating. How does it compare with the glossy alienware 32 qd oled you tested recently?
to be honest - it's truly hard to say. I know glossy vs. matte divides the OLED user base haha. My real opinion is both are absolute sweet and it sorta depends on your space you know? Ambient lighting, lamps etc. - for me I'm lamps galore so matte is useful. Mostly I'm indifferent - sorry if this isn't helpful lol.
I returned my AW due to a couple missing features but the glossy display wasn't one of them.
If you can control the lighting in your gaming area the glossy is a must have in my opinion. It’s just so much more clean/clear looking.
Do you play any sports games like NBA 2K at 60hz? If so, how does the input lag feel at that refresh rate?
Yo! I actually don't but 2k just hit Playstation + so you made me try it. Surprisingly, first time playing 2k in like 18 years lol. Last 2k I played had iverson on the cover lmao.
PLaying it for about 25 minutes tho on my ps5 it's absolutely flawless, zero perceivable input lag. I would say it's similar to my FPS game experience.
Lowkey want the c3, I mainly use my MacBook but will lbs getting a gaming Pc to use from time to time… would I be happy with a c3? I bought a studio display but with Best Buy I can return as I wasn’t too happy with the little bit of screen real estate 😩
I actually covered the c3 as a monitor the other day, focusing on console and macbook use. Thing is absolutely sick especially if you want more screen + glossy - th-cam.com/video/gUdiwQt3SkA/w-d-xo.html
if you have a new GPU with HDMI 2.1 you'll get that full 120hz. It's sick.
Thanks for the review
Thanks for stopping by!
The only thing extra I would want out of this monitor is one or two extra HDMI 2.1 ports but other than that I’m stoked for this thing.
I lowkey swapped to the HDMI port instead of DP 1.4 actually. Someone mentioned it has higher bandwidth, kinda sweet
Would you take this over a c3 42? I’m strictly console so idk which way to go tbh
For just console I’d go C3 TBH. I have two videos maybe a month or two ago for this. C3 is SICK if it’s for console.
Would you recommend this one or the ASUS PG32UCDM? I have 4090 RTX Rog Astrix and mainly play Warzone and occasionally story games like Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4 and etc.
hard to say! the PG32UCDM has similar performance etc, but it doesn't have that speaker or dual mode. The Type C @90w on the PG32UCDM is sickkkk tho.
I personally rather have the LG only since I can buy a Type C dock, but can't really buy dual mode.
Also depends if you prefer QD-OLED, I don't *think* I have a preference yet between that or WOLED
@@MinimalisTech thank you for the response! 👍
I have the PG32ucdm. It has more vibrant colors and is glossy (makes a big diff with oled) Doesnt have the 480hz mode tho
HDR on PG32UCDM looks disgusting. Also many users including me have buzzing noise when monitor is off. I returned mine bc this feels like unfinished product. Unacceptable at this price tag...
HDR on QD Oled is unmatched and it has Dolby Vision and it’s glossy without the grain
what about dolby vision althoufh im not sure what that even is xd but it doesnt have that right?
Do a comparison between LG 32GS95UE-B vs AW3225QF.
Can you compare it to the 2023 model?
Glossy and i would have replaced my 42 c2, but I have my old TN s2417dg as my secondary to remind me why i will never get a matte display again.
So do you find this better than the alienware of pg32ucdm or msi mpg 321URX?
haven't had the chance to checkout the PG32UCDM, Canada has crap stock on everything. I was lucky enough to snag a 321URX which came two days ago! Going to review this one probably next week or then do a comparison video between QD and W OLED thereafter,
Cheers!
Will probably buy this later on if it drops under 1000. Wish it had another year on the warranty as other OLED monitors are providing.
I saw some dude get this for 970 on Reddit with a series of codes and credit card cash back 🤯
Great review! Would it be possible to do a UFO test? Thanks :)
if you switch to 1080p mode 24 in, does it save or do you have to switch to 24 in every time you switch to 1080p?
you set the mode in the osd and it always uses that setting when you press the button according to other reviews I have watched.
@@DrunkHobo15 nice
Did anyone know when it come out in Europe ?
do you have any recomendaitions for a budget monitor for xbox series x along with using it with a macbook m2?
Do you have a preference for LCD or OLED? There’s a lot of great options!
i saw your vid on the 100$ monitor was looking for something in that 100-300$ range 4k good for general computing and gaming on my series x nothing to crazy@@MinimalisTech
@@youngancestor_ oh sick dude. Ok I legit recommend the pixio PX277
It’s 1440p 165hz. Awesome for series x, and it has 65watt type c for you m2 air.
I use my m2 air daily still and it has great scaling at 1440p.
No VRR since it’s hdmi 2.0 not 2.1 but you’ll still get that high refresh.
I’ve seen it on sale since I checked it out. But still around 300 USD

Grats on the new crib. Moving can be stressful, hopefully you settle well.@@youngancestor_
figuring out the perfect size led to an expensive journey and I've found it to be 27 inches
My main issue with this monitor is that it does not come with a burn in warranty like some other OLED gaming monitors that came out this year. Its $200 more than the Dell Alienware 32 inch OLED and comes with a 3 year burn in warranty. The main difference is the 1080p 480hz mode which is a nice to have feature, but very niche if I'm solely running the monitor at 4k 240. I don't think the LG monitor has convince me to buy this over the other QD-OLED Gaming monitors from MSI, Alienware, and ASUS where they are cheaper and brighter. Great review of the monitor though. Its amazing how far OLED technology have come on monitors.
This comes with a burn in warranty and an option to add an extended three year warranty for a total of five years
Is it better than the LG 27 UltraGear 27GR95QE-B? Wondering if to go for the 27 or wait for the new 32 inch
Hey man don’t buy the 27gr95qe , buy the 27GS95qe , it’s the newer version and way brighter
Yo! Having used my 27gr95qe for just about an entire year, I can defintiely say this is better. But they also just launched the 27GS95QE which is brighter. I think it also has an updated WOLED layout for better text. That would probably be the one to get if you're looking at 1440p.
Granted last years GR variant will see steep discounts and it's not like it's bad in anyways cuz all the new shiny ones are out. Still an absolute banger display.
No worries, thanks for the advice!
I only use a ps5 and just want a decent monitor so i think i’ll still go for the 27gr95qe considering prices have dropped on it
I wish monitors focused on audio solutions more. With PS5 dropping optical out, it's hard to find a display that works well with console and PC if you want both to run through speakers.
Right? I was bummed the Alienware 4k didn't have an audio jack for speakers either. These speakers on this LG are insane tho. The YT video doesn't do it justice. Perfect for PS5
I have a small question... I want to know how good the 1080p mode can look. Obviously, it already looks better than an actual 1080p display due to the pixel density as well as the integer scaling, but have you also tried super-sampling? Perhaps 1080p can look just as good as 1440p due to this.
Hmm good point dude. Give me like 30 minutes. Let me see if I can force Overwatch to 1440p on the 1080p 24”mode.
I can say I’ve been bumping between the 24/27/32 and still have a preference for 32 which kinda sounds wild.
@@MinimalisTech Yeah, you'll gonna wanna have it at 32 inches due to the integer scaling (it groups 4 pixels together to act as one). If you wanted native pixel density of 1080p, you'd need to downscale to 16 inches. That is why everything looks blurry on 27 and 24 inch modes (because it doesn't scale properly).
Please try the super sampling on 32 inches for the best result. Also, thanks a lot for checking this out. :)
There should be an option in nvidia control panel which is called "DSR".
@@PD-ws4td dope thanks ma brotha. Will check soon!
@@MinimalisTech Cheers. Looking forward to hearing the results! You could also play around with sharpness filters too when I think about it.
Looks like i couldn't even get there. The 1080p 480hz mode without DSC (had to turn DSC off to get DSR to show up) was actually cutting in and out a bunch. I'll have to try on HDMI 2.1 a bit later when i've got more time since it'll have higher bandwidth than DP 1.4DSC
Is there a menu setting to turn off DSC for displayport?
Yep. You can turn off DSC
@@MinimalisTech thanks for taking the time to reply!
if it was 4k 1440p oled i would fall in love. But, it is a good product.
This is definitely the best looking 32" 4K 240hz monitor and the flat centred stand is perfect for sliding a speaker or soundbar underneath. However, there is no Displayport 2.1 connector and there's a 99% chance that the upcoming next gen GPU's will all sport one of those. The Gigabyte Aorus 32" 4K 240hz monitor will support this new standard so i'll probably go for that one.
Could you review this model LG Ultragear 16:9 UHD Gaming Monitor 27GR93U-B
Nice! I didn’t know this was released. I might have to check this one out. I’ll come back to this and let you know. Maybe some point in May if I can! Cheers
@@MinimalisTechGreat, have a great day. I really liked the channel
Could you update if this has passive or active cooling?
Active cooling! Completely silent it seems
Were you able to achieve 4K 240hz on an Apple Silicone Macbook via DisplayPort to USB-C?
I haven't tried this yet, lemmie see if I can get my direct HDMI or DP cable to type-C, can't remember which one I have. I'll have to find it and give it a go
what's on top of your monitor? A light?
BenQ halo light bar !
What movie is the one where shes building a lego land cruiser
I’m gonna cop, BUT I’d prefer a 2k at 480hz like imagine 🔥
I went for the Asus 3 years with burn in on warranty
looks cool but no dp 2.1 is show stoper for me even there is no uhbr20 card yet.
Yeahh Dp 2.1 woulda been nice. Someone else made a good point, i swapped to my HDMI 2.1 since it hasn't higher bandwidth, cuz why not
Thx for this review ! I’m sold ! My kid was asking me a new monitor for his ps5 . I was thinking lg c3 42 but was to big for his room so this is the perfect choice for him . Thx again
Lucky him! Hope he enjoys! Incredible display/choice. The speakers make it a great all in one for console gaming.
Can you change the colour temp while hdr is on and if so what options within colour temp do you have ?
Yup! I've got HDR on right now and the menus give me Warm, Medium, Cool, and then a manual colour temp option. Manual being a gradient of like 8 between cool and warm
@@MinimalisTech this is fantastic news. Thank you for replying. I’ve just sent the Asus PG32UCDM back due to being locked out of colour temp settings in HDR mode. I’m used to a cooler colour temp and the asus wouldn’t let me adjust to get to that. Everything looked very yellow no orange, due to the warm temp. I’m so glad this monitor is different.
@@Captain-Chats happy to help 👊🏽👊🏽
@@MinimalisTech can you definitely see a different from cool to warm when you change.
@@Captain-Chatsyeah for sure. I didn’t go looking till you mentioned it. I landed on “W3” (warm 3 of 8) for my preferred look. Turns out there’s more gradient. There 10 cool intensities and 8 warm.
Hit me with your IG handle if you want I’ll send you photos of a difference.
Do you recommend sticking to the full monitor for 480hz mode or 24.5? I just bought this monitor!
Yo! I think it comes down to preference. The 480hz 1080p on 32" will be clearer-ish than 24/27 but having swapped between them I'm constantly trying out the different sizes.
when I'm ACTUALLY pushing rank on here I still do 24" but if I'm on quickly or w.e I'm rocking the 480hz at 32"
@@MinimalisTech Thanks for the reply! Does it feel weird to play 24.5 with all the black bars around you or do you get used to it quickly?
@@pman93aqw I hadn’t even thought to mention that, good one. Since it’s OLED the pixels are legit turned off so I quite literally haven’t noticed it haha. You might make me notice now having mentioned it lmao.
@@MinimalisTech Haha! Last question, if I am using the monitor for both work and gaming should I be worried about burn in? I wil be working 40 hours a week and mostly static stuff so definitely want to make sure I am making the right purchase!
@@pman93aqw straight truth. I’ve been using OLEDs for my main desk monitor for about 2 years ish now. C2 OLED, LG 27GR95QE, KTC GP27, not a single one has exhibited any burn in. I legit do use all the burnin prevention tools etc though and they all do automatic pixel cleaning.
I also auto hide any static elements. So far not one of them has had burn in.
Maybe one day I will but as of yet it hasn’t happened.
I work full time as an account 3 days a week at home and of course a crap ton of TH-cam stuff. So an easy 60-70 hour weeks on my OLEDs, just for my usage reference. I really can’t complain
Great review. Is this a Smart monitor which comes with a remote and does the monitor support OTT, youtube etc on its own
Thank you! No, this does not have a smart TV OS.
How much radiation does that monitor emmit, how hot does it get??
Yesterday, I had to return a $640+ LG 27GN950-B UltraGear Gaming Monitor 27” UHD (3840 x 2160) Nano IPS Display, 1ms Response Time, 144Hz Refresh Rate and etc. because the amount of heat it radiates in my game/bed/office room was comparatable to a room heater during the winter months, which is insane, to say the least. No pc monitor should EVER get that hot. I'm now looking for another gaming monitor.
wow! that almost sounds like a defect, i can't imagine ever having that much heat coming off a monitor.
This feels cool to the touch all the time. I think it's actively cooled since i see a grille on the top end of the display.
cheers
Now the question is, which one, Alienware QD-OLED 32 4K 240hz or LG OLED 32 4K 240hz ?
I personally returned my AW only cuz I preferred the MSI which comes tomorrow. The lack of headphone jack as small as it was didn’t jive well. Plus the stand was a bit massive for my liking.
from a display standpoint tho the AW was sweeeeet. I think I still prefer the LG but my MSI shows up tomorrow. I’m gonna do more in depth QDOLED vs WOLED comparison soonn
which are your top 5 games?? besides ghost of tsushima?
RDR2
Ghost of Tsushima
BG3
Overwatch
Pokémon Crystal (I’m old)
How bout you
Im so tempted on returning my Lg 27gr95qe oled and pre order this but that price tag is steep.
I have the 27gr95QE still and it really is a great display too. It's easy to compare to new tech etc and hate what you have but that really is a dope ass display still, I love mine.
gees this monitor, dual mode, something for me, 4k for developer work, 480hz for cs2 after work, the moment it will be available for 0% interest, im buying that
It ticks a lot of boxes. I wasn't expending dual mode to be as good as it is. I think when it hits amazon it might be 0%, not sure but they've usually got that bomb ass financing
Waiting on the gigabyte Woled variant just for the USBC port with display alt.
I sawwww that one. Looks sick. Apparently it's one of the only ones with DP 2.1. Hoping to check that one out too
This review must be using a cool color setting, lots of blue hues
Right? Everything looks like it has a blue filter over it.
Can you turn off DSC by chance? Deal breaker for me if not.
Not that I've found in the menus unfortunately. Interesting it's not there actually. but I'm pretty sure HDMI 2.1 carries more bandwidth than DP1.4., granted I'm not that deep into specs to have an opinion. Still surprised to see I can't turn off DSC
Yo! I was wrong - was fiddling with the menus just now - found out can turn off DSC under general
Can you vesa mount this monitor? If yes do it need an dapter ?
YUP! 100x100vesa. No adapter needed since it isn’t curve more any weird indents.
@@MinimalisTech Thank you
@@Ballovirta hard to say! I returned my Alienware for the MSI which comes tomorrow. I’ll definitely have a comparison video in the next few weeks.
Not gonna lie it’s sorta nit-picky between the two they’re both so damn good.
I “thiink” the WOLED is brighter but I’m not 100% sure. I’ll definitely compare them soon.
@@MinimalisTechim looking forward to it. Keep up the good work
Is this good for 1440p gaming? My GPU isn't good enough for 4k. 😢
Awe man, I feel you. If you're ok with DLSS/Frame generation it's pretty great all around.
I've got my 2070 PC that I tested some things about an hour ago, it performs ok on some 4k titles. 1440p on a 4k display looks fine tho personally.
I have not seen anyone comment on this: Is the matte coat something to take into consideration or no?
It is something to consider. The OLED user base is split heavily over matte vs glossy. Truly it comes down to personal preference, lighting in your area, or whether it matters at all etc
@@MinimalisTechCould the Matte coating be removed?
I''ve seen other people do this by buffing it out on some OLEDs specifically, although I can't recommend it as it would void any protections/warranties. @@kedrickkonkle2804
@@MinimalisTechThanks for the fast reply. Ive never really cared about warranties honestly. can you tell whether the coating is a layer that could be peeled off, a chemical that would need dissolved or a finish on the actual glass?
@@kedrickkonkle2804 I think it’s a layer that unpeelable.
There’s another channel called thedisplayguy. He talks about buffing it out across various monitors. May be work checking out! I don’t trust myself not to ruin a monitor to try that lol
This monitor size and specs but 21:9 aspect ratio would be the king for me...
Yeaahhh. I think the closest is that new 39”. Hoping I can check it out but it’s still 3440x1440
