I can confirm they do, but there's nothing particularly useful you can do there from what I've seen. And it's not something manufacturers like reviewers to discuss or encourage the use of, anyway.
@@PCMonitors I appreciate all your input, you're super knowledgable. What would you say is the biggest deciding factor for these new 4k QD-OLED monitors? Since brightness seems uniform across each panel, what should I look for other than price?
@@EngageMk8 Price in your region and availability are the main ones, some more examples of what to consider here - forum.pcmonitors.info/topic/msi-mpg-321urx-review-and-comparison-with-aw3225qf/.
I still have fond memories of the "wow factor" the PG32UQX delivered, so I'm also looking forward to seeing more Mini LED models with powerful backlights.
Tbh, an OLED will give you a better experience with fewer nits than a higher nit VA or IPS panel. Why? Because OLEDs have superior contrast. NIT for NIT comparison is only useful when you are comparing the same type of panels. HDR1400 is nice, but HDR400 True Black is better. Just my opinion, have nice day.
You won't find reviewers spending much time assessing Netflix content for copyright reasons! But it's not necessary to do so. This video thoroughly assesses the HDR performance characteristics of the monitor and its potential that CAN apply to both games and movies. But with both it's highly content dependent. Some Netflix video content makes better use of HDR than others. In general I find video content on streaming platforms such as Netflix makes worse use of high brightness peaks than game content. See my comments on this on the AW3225QF review with respect to Dolby Vision vs. HDR10 - th-cam.com/video/mLKMSIIlut0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XzVI3NZOxrbothqB&t=1005. Brightness peaks aside, the strong contrast and colour characteristics of the monitor and advantages of 10-bit colour processing also apply to HDR10 video content.
That's an overgeneralisation as it depends on the scene and which elements you're referring to. Some shades are deeper than they should be with the HDR1000 setting due to less accurate PQ tracking, but bright highlights are also significantly brighter in many scenes. It's the perceived brightness changes due to shifts between higher and lower peaks (due to ABL behaviour) that's generally more noticeable than any PQ inaccuracies, but for some scenes PQ inaccuracies are definitely still a noteworthy factor. I agree that it would be nice (and this applies to most QD-OLEDs) if they focused on tightening up the accuracy. Bright scenes where the ABL kicks in strongly with the HDR1000 setting shouldn't have shades dragged down lower than with the 'HDR True Black 400' setting. It only makes sense that needs to happen if there are also some bright elements being displayed that the monitor needs to pulse to high brightness (>500 nits - or beyond what the 'HDR True Black 400' setting would display). That would be a power limitation issue as the monitor may choose to sacrifice shade brightness in places to make sure it can brighten the brightest elements properly.

I agree with others, those are the best reviews on the internet.
Best monitor reviews on the web.
Thanks! 😊
@@PCMonitors bro your reviews are the best, btw is the asus pg27uq still worth in 2024 :O?
@@Tuskabanana If you find the price agreeable, it still offers a nice bright and dynamic HDR experience.
@@PCMonitorsTy for the Respond, for like 250-300€ worth :O?
@@Tuskabanana It's your money, it has to be worth it to you.
Great video! I have an AW3225QF. Which HDR mode do you think works best for this monitor?

@@PCMonitors thanks!
If you want the absolute brightest 4k 240hz OLED HDR monitor, which are you going with?
Any of the QD-OLED options, they're very similar in that respect so that's not a factor you can use to separate them.
@@PCMonitors Thanks so much! That's good to hear. Are you aware if any of these new QD-OLED models have service menu access?
I can confirm they do, but there's nothing particularly useful you can do there from what I've seen. And it's not something manufacturers like reviewers to discuss or encourage the use of, anyway.

These are good monitors, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited for more HDR1400 miniLED entering the market later this year.
I still have fond memories of the "wow factor" the PG32UQX delivered, so I'm also looking forward to seeing more Mini LED models with powerful backlights.
@@PCMonitorsme too friend. Me too.
where do i read avout these upcoming monitors?
@@leobarnet3662 displayninja is a good site that keeps track of them.

Please try to check HDR Netflix or movies. Not TH-cam videos.
Not a single reviewer made a video on this monitor as a content consumption device. 😢

Hdr1000 is dimmer than hdr400 hopefully they can fix this issue
