@@irun2sanaxox Sent it back because my unit had very noticeable coil whine when playing games at 200+fps. Aside from that it was amazing. Hoping I just got unlucky and the next one will be fine.
I can confirm that the ABL problem still exist in this screen, i boght one, and when you puto a web browser, or a window, in full screen in white, getr a little more bighjter and is annoying, possible its more annoying thant the asus one.
@@DisplayReality not matter what preset you put it on or oled care options, has the probelm on all modes, when you resize a window to fullscreen, (white), the screen seem to get a liltt bit more brighter, and its annoying..., can you test this?, or can you tell me if in the lg GS; still this problem? thanks
Could we get some more HDR gameplay footage of this monitor please? Particularly of the TB400 and Peak 1000 modes, as I’ve read that for some reason the TB400 mode produces an overall brighter image than the Peak 1000 mode on these new Gen 3 QD-OLEDS (outside of 1-10% highlights). Thanks for all you do Viktor!
Sure no problem. I actually have the MPG and MAG versions for a vs vid. I can now do the true black 400 vs hdr1000 easier. The hdr1000 peak really looks nice on impact but true black 400 is nice but boring to me when I compare to a neo g8 etc. Ill show more soon on what I mean.. Thx
@@DisplayReality Hello, is it normal on this monitor that after turning on HDR on the desktop or browser there is no difference compared to SDR? I can see the difference immediately on the LG c1.
First OLED I had was the LG 48 inch C1 4k at 120hz. And it had glossy screen too. I used it mainly for streaming netflix or disney. And for Sim Racing. My newest oled was a vivobook from asus. Again the colors just Pop. Issue I had with it is in a certain vibrant mode. Blue color turns into violet/purple. But again the colors are just next level on everything. It has glossy finish as well. It survived 2 x 15hr flights in a wenger bag too. As for qd oled vs woled. The woled seems to be a better one. But then again if you play in a not so bright room. The qd oled is perfectly fine. Id like to snag a 27 inch 360hz oled but they sure are pricey. I remember buying my LG C1 on sale on Queen Elizabeth's last birthday at £750.
Both sre great. The Asus or LG offer the best w-oled experience. Get whichever tou like better. The design etc. The Asus is brighter in HDR in the peaks while LG has a remote.
I just purchased the the MSI MAG 27QPX. I'm seeing that it's essentially the same monitor but the MAG does not support Firmware Updates. So I guess any quality of life issues the Firmware has I'm stuck with, forever. Oh well, the MAG was $100 cheaper so I had to go with the more economical option.
I finally received my monitor. However. I can't figure out how to download my the newest 010 firmware. When I go to settings in the gaming intelligence app the firmware doesn't pop up on the right side. There is an option to do the firmware manually but when I downloaded the firmware, it's shows up as a bin file. Do I add that when when browsing the files? This is so frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I have all the files from the Intellegence app and firmware extracted to the same folder.
I recently got this monitor and so far, I think it’s great. However as someone who games for over 4 hours, The Pixel refresh on screen popup notification is a bit bothersome.
@@DisplayReality I downloaded the gaming intelligence app. I’m not sure how to go about downloading any of the firmware updates though., as there is a few on there website that I did download and extract the files from, but I’m not sure if it did anything. Maybe you can make a video on how to go about that. Because as of right now, there is no videos showing how to do it. I subbed to your channel. So I will keep a look out, if you decide to do so.. My current Firmware is FW009
Can you post your settings for this bad boy. I just picked it up today. Without HDR its kinda dark so I enable HDR and set SDR brightness up on Windows 11.
The MAG does not support firmware updates. (Also lower Power delivery) Do not buy it you will regret it. There already is a new firmware for these msi monitors. Buy the MPG..
I dont want you to regret canceling its just that if there is a major update or even critical you will be stuck. Thats why I say this. I dont know what msi is thinking. See my paywall msi video couple days ago on this for confirmation.
Im struggling to decide on next update… currently I have a nano ips . I use the monitor for console gaming … what could you recommend as an update : mini led Asus 4K or oled 4K? Thank you
the alienware 360 oled has very poor build quality terms of plastic. After i turn off the monitor the power suply still makes some " crack" noise like big 55 zoll lcd tvs. The sound can also happen when temperature in the room change. Does this monitor have the same problem ? For some pll its nothing but because i sleep next to the monitor its a huge deal.
Its very minimal. I say this MSI is worth it. I still will try to get the both of these for a V.s. video but the Asus is always sold out. They make a few every month..
@@DisplayReality yeah. I saw as well. Also, price is more or less the same in uk. £1300 The 27inch Asus swift is now discounted to £760 might take that and worst case if i feel its too small just send it back.
that steam voucher program is super cool it really tip how much cheaper this monitors are compared to the competitors... too bad they are not easily available by the time i get the 32inch one the program might have ended...
Thats tough.. I love brightness so the LG is best for me. But 360hz is so nice. It looks better vs my aw2723df 280hz. So it seems the w-OLEDS are brighter and Inhave not seen any color wash. I will have both this and the LG GS up soon in a vs video.
OK so I bought the lg oled and noticed the greasy matte coating immediately without even looking for it you don't need a microscope we all need to tell them to make a glossy version at least for oleds
Matte is fine. While I can tell it looks vasoline like its better vs an ultra matte dry looking screen. No issues on the LG. Its all preference... good thing we are starting to have options.
Viktor this is my ultimate gaming monitor! But at the moment I cannot afford it now and for a while. I can, however, get an aw2721D for $200, is that monitor worth it for that price?
That aw is really bright with nano ips. It's a great monitor. It would be way brighter vs the MSI. Hdr is great too but it's ips nano so the contrast is not as deep. Nano really gives you bright colors. I can try to hook mine up again if you need me too
@@DisplayReality thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I’m actually on my way there now to pick it up after I read your positive comment! And I think 200 is a good price, ya? I also ordered a 4070 Super so it’s gona be paired with that! Should hold me over for a while until the 27” MSI gets cheaper, hopefully
Make sure its not flickering, check the ports are not bent, access the menu and for any dead pixels. Even if it had a few $200 is a crazy good price. Why are they selling it?
@@DisplayReality I picked it up man after hearing your positive feedback and all I can say is WOW! This thing is extremely bright just like you said haha in SDR its almost 600 nits, and in HDR almost 800! This is the only IPS monitor that I can say has good HDR! They were selling as they got the aw3423dwf and had no more need, so I did all the scanning and checking that you mentioned and it passed all the tests so I said for $200 why not! Just have 1 last question for you man, there are 2 settings im trying to figure out. I hear on Rtings that people use different modes under "Variable Backlight" which essentially is the 32 local dimming zones; what setting do you recommend I leave it on? And anything with the Dark Stabilizer? Right now its just 0 and Mode 0. These 2 settings are all I need to know and I am good to go! Thanks again man, you helped me make that AWESOME buying decision for sure!!!
For picture impact no. If you have it on mostly sdr mode no. But HDR would look more clear and just as nice with no blooming whatsoever. The Asus is pretty expensive. It's not night and day difference. More like day and afternoon. Lol what do you like on the Neo so I can better understand what you like
The MAG has 15w power delivery vs the 90w on the MPG. Also, the MAG does not support firmware updates while the MPG does. And last the minimal rgb lighting (on the back) on the MPG while the MAG does not.
Critical Firmware update available on both 32" and this 27" MPG 271QRX monitor. Fixing black screen start up issues.

yes please!
Appreciate the day time/well lit room real world testing…. Maybe compare it with a mini led monitor too
I got s 3 way LG Mini LED, LG OLED and this.. hopefully within 2 weeks..
Good! I've been pivoting between woled and QD-oled for quite a while. Looking forward to your comparison vid mate
don't let actual sunlight on the display even through a window - you will get uneven wear from it on OLEDs similar to burn in
Just showing worst case scenario. It's was Sunrays with blinds so it was thru a valance etc.. But for sure never do that.
