DON'T Buy This - ASUS PG49WCD QD OLED Monitor

Oh and by the way I will be purchasing the 240Hz Non smart version OLED G9 by popular request for a full review soon, which is possible thanks to all my wonderful Patrons (link in the description if you want to help support my work, I highly appreciate it).

You spent more time showing ads than being honest about this monitor. You didn't even bother to point out that it has other advantages over the Samsung and LG with the smart KVM, which is the main reason I bought it. And the better anti burn in features. What about the single USB C connection for everything (audio, video, power, and USB hub)? Plus, it's just better looking than any of those. And thinner with a better stand. And don't forget the quality control lottery you get with Samsung.
same, the smart kvm is soo nice.
With all the burn in features, would it still be risky to do things in Excel, Word and other software for a long time instead of gaming most of the time?
Ye this video is so biased its ridiculous this is easily the best super ultrawide
Do you use smart kvm with a mac and PC by chance?
@TheMadskater360 Yes. Both. The only downsides are that the Mac makes the aspect ratio on the laptop screen the same as the monitor, and the Mac won't hit the max resolution.
I can't even describe how much I hate those V-shaped stands. Its like 99% of the way to how much I hate matte finish, only not quite there because I can get a VESA mount if I have to.
Yeah, I have a monitor with a v-shaped stand as well and it somehow blocks more area than my other monitors.
@@faultier1158 Yeah my mouse always hits the stand, and I specifically bought a 32" deep desk instead of the normal 24", its crazy.
I face the stand sideways and then swing the monitor towards me.
Takes less space that way hahaha. Those huge v shaped stands take so much space.
SOLUTION: Ergotron
Samsung qc and support are absolute trash. There is 0 point in buying from samsung.
I've only had bad luck with Samsung monitors. So I like seeing other companies release ultra wides
I have it, no issue, I have only ASUS panel, I have pg27aqn and pg49wcd, they are perfect, omg bye bye samsung shit panel
This dude worked so hard for that bonus check from Samsung lol
i just got my G93sc and i love it so far!
are the dots at the asus also triangle positioned, linke at the sasmung, or classical? I heard triangle ositioning is really bad for text ...?
Dang I actually love the KVM on the rog vs the Samsung one… anyone have an idea of which monitor has KVM, has QD-OLED, curved, 45-49”, has burn-in preventative tech, usb-C PD port for MacBook, high refresh, and optimal for 8 hour coding and then gaming at night situations? Really long list of things but this ROG almost checked everything off except the high refresh and the burn-in preventative
Do you run the Graphically Challenged channel as well? If not, you sound the same.
He does.
Have you considered reviewing any of the 43" Samsung glossy TVs?
Thank you for your videos, Mr. monitor man
I have it and no issue, buy it guys ! it's not bugged with gsync like all the samsung monitors
Does this one has flickering issues like the Samsung g9 ?
no cause it's asus@@AMGLUNA
no cause it's ASUS, the best@@AMGLUNA
I bought the Philips Evnia 49 QD OLED in the end (KVM) and it’s a freaking amazing monitor!
Your right about Samsung's QC dealing with that BS atm trying for a refund on my G95NC the panel died twice in 3 months !!
😢
Samsung unveiled 3 new QD OLED monitors ahead of CES and they all seem to have anti glare. It's good to have options but I'd be really disappointed if they roll back on having a nice glossy finish at least as an option. Probably had too many people complaining about it not having a matte finish and I doubt they'll be bothered to make 2 versions, really hope I'm wrong.
To bad the ppi is pretty low. That's why I stick with 16:9 4k 144hz 28"
Want a upgrade so bad..
Best oled ive used .
Do people still buy asus?
I mean, no burn-in warranty is a very stupid decision to do.
The mighty have fallen. I bought a ROG Zephyrus laptop which decided the only gpu it would use was the igpu on the Ryzen...no matter what I did...$1500 dollar mistake, thank god best buy took it back after days of failed effort with support as well.
I have the asus 240 27 inch monitor it’s fire !!! Best 27 inch monitor out right now imo
To be fair, Samsung doesn’t have a burn in warranty either. That said, Asus monitors tend to have so many issues.
Finally someone that still has some braincells left. Having by far the highest brightness monitor with the same panel as others use and not having a burn in warranty is like trying to sell you a car with 5 bar boost pressure instead of the usual 2 bar on the very same engine that you know will blow up after the first few pulls. I'm sorry but you'd have to be actually stupid to buy the Asus or you really don't care if it will burn in 2-3 times faster if not even quicker and having wasted your money without being able to get a replacement.
@@colton9841 Tell me more. I have 2 different Asus monitors with the infamous no signal issue. Now I'm going out of my way to not buy Asus even if the other options are worse on paper. At least I hope they know how to have the most basic thing possible on a monitor work which is detecting a fu**ing input signal in the first place (no it's not the cable or port or just an exception, it's a common problem with Asus monitors).
I agree they need to cut the price but it might be good for people that don't have a top-of-the-line GPU to push the Samsung😅
I'm am extremely happy with this display. I don't play esports crap, so 144hz is just fine with me.
I had so many problems with Samsung displays, that I don't even care if they make one with 5 billion hz.
144Hz vs 240Hz, are you really going to notice the difference compared to the amount of money you need to spend on a higher end graphics card and all that goes with it (Power supply and CPU), the ASUS OLED is amazing at 144Hz with the detail and blacks, best thing is, you can get away with running a 3080 RTX and i7 at high or mostly ultra settings within most current games, try pushing out 240Hz at the same quality settings! Really wish these reviewers compared the total system required to run higher end gear instead of saying "ohh 240Hz is so much better".. Yeah if you spend $4k on the rest of your gear it is, if you don't upgrade everything else you are will be very disappointed. Sure you will have a greater refresh rate but running at lower graphic settings - so your image and immersion quality will be much less and you will be very VERY disappointed (unless you spend an extra few $k.
This is using the 1st gen wdoled panels?
2nd.
I’ve been looking at the new monitors, I’m done with all the “gamer” crap, I’m going for a 2024 oled tv.
Much better quality and value, 144hz is fine for me.
I'd say it should be at LEAST $300 less than the Samsung version. 144hz to 240hz is a massive difference. I wouldn't even consider 144hz. I'm on the AW3423DWF and it's not enough imo coming from 240hz IPS. I've adjusted to it but I def wish I waited for a 240hz glossy 16:9 or a 240hz 21:9 ultrawide. Now that I'm adjusting tho I'm sure I'll be fine. Glorious monitor for sure.
my 4090 can't push +45fps in cyberpunk at 4k ultra, stop being idiot, 144hz is more than enough, and the gsync compatible range for ASUS is 48-144hz, samsung is 60-240hz, useless...if I want to play at 360hz 1440p I have ASUS pg27aqn, it's all.
The same? Really ? Where is the USB-C & Smart KVM on the Samsung Monitor? Sorry dude, but this video is BS
Yep and from what I'm hearing, this is the same panel as the 240 refresh rate versions just slowed down to keep it cooler. Mist if us can't get 240 frame rate on this many pixels anyway. Be nice if we could overdrive it.
may i ask a good gaming monitor 1440p 27inch
Odyssey g6 or the new aoc mini which cost 280$
pg27aqn 360he ips asus, nothing better
144 hz is just a no go for me useless with my 4090 strix. G9 oled 57 inch would be way better 240hz
right now the smart g9 oled is $1299.99
That V-shaped stand is a Don't buy for me
I absolutely don't understand the pricepoint here... don't really care about the 144Hz (240Hz is overkill for the average buyer), love the KVM and DP/ALT with power delivery (work from home), but this monitor sells @ 1500€ in France vs the samsung "non smart" @ less than 1200€... Seriously Asus ?!?!?!
every samsung panels are awfull with gsync issue flickers, the asus panel are almost perfect for the gamers without any gsync issue, nver buy samsung if you have very high standard, buy asus like me.
Did you just don't recommend a device without testing it out?
Not like anyones lookin to buy that apart from alien eggheads
What make me hesitate to take a G93sc (or G9) is that it's 1800R and 1440p (really low ppi).
The 1800r make me think it would be way too flat for gaming, wouldn't 1000r be better ? I fear it would.
1440p is something i already have but on a 49" monitor ? + Oled ? Feel like i will have a hard time reading text on it, no ?
That’s not how resolution works.
If you have a 27” 16:9 1440p monitor then the resolution is 2560x1440.
If you have a 49” 32:9 1440p monitor then the resolution is 5120x1440.
They both have a ppi of 109.
@@jakevanoostrum622 Thanks for the answer pal, i saw my mistake some day after i posted it, that 49" is just like two 27" so essentialy same ppi, you're completly right.
Still bummed out by the 1800R tho', but without seeing it in real life compared to a 1000r or 800r it's complicated to make a decision.
lol This is selling for $1,799.98 in my city..
And the warranty is only 2 years vs 3 yrs from Samsung.
Hopefully the OLED G9 can actually do 1000 nits. My AW3423DW is way better than my brothers Samsung G8 OLED since mine will do 1000 nits and his is stuck at 400 nits without a service remote.
I keep seeing this thing about people begging for their oleds to hit 1000 nits but there is not a single oled display that hits 1000 nits full screen. It’s always in like a 5 or 10 percent window. And on a larger display that’s even harder to do.
OLEDs don’t need 1000 nits. HDR 400 true black on an oled is comparable image quality and hdr performance to somewhere inbetween hdr 1400 and hdr 1600 on an LCD that is capable of hitting 1000+nit flashes.
Provided you’re not trying to view the TV in bright light (like for real just get black out curtains) I don’t see the issue. I literally play on an HDR400 LCD which isn’t even hdr so I play in SDR which is like 500nits full screen. That is quite bright to my eyes and I don’t even feel like I am lacking out on much when I play games. Only when I’m watching dark movies that benefit from true hdr will I go and watch on my mini LED TV.
What are you talking about? The dell hits 1050 nits at 2% window while the G8 hits 985 nits. The difference is irrelevant. Values are taken from the Rtings tests.
For real scenes it’s 372 vs 447 nits, which is probably noticeable but given that the G8 costs 500€ less it’s probably acceptable. This is only for HDR though. SDR brightness is the same.
@@Enaxorize just Google it. If you want the g8 to do 1000 nits over dp in hgig mode which is necessary to tune a lot of HDR content in Windows 11 it requires a service remote. I've read that it'll do it over HDMI but he doesn't have a micro HDMI 2.1 cable to test it.
dont buy 1470k /dont buy rtx4090 / wtf , make or create for sell some before talk nonsense
49 inch on desk .... Are you serious people are serious with these monitor size WTF .... I think 32 or 34 ultrawide IS nice spot but 40+... Lol its a TV size how you Can play with this on a desk rip neck and eyes
Best monitor youtuber ever ngl
1800r is just not enough curve for me.
get the bendy one then lol
Perfect curvature 👌
1500R could be a sweet spot for 49".
All Asus OLED monitors are trash.
Hub rate one at s tier tho.
i just got my G93sc and i love it so far!
Same here, the best monitor I've ever bought. Worth every penny.
