    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.

      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?

      @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.

    For someone who called his channel "The Display Guy" I gotta say you're talking out your ass.
    Refresh rate and Frame rate are separate things. Linked, sure but still not the same. The refresh rate is how many times per second the display is capable of displaying a new frame, while the frame rate is how many times per second your GPU can provide a new frame. Just because a display advertises a certain refresh rate, whether that be 144Hz or 240Hz, it doesn't mean you are guaranteed to get those Frame rates. To make use of a 240Hz display your GPU has to provide 240 unique frames to the display per second in order for it to display a new frame every time it refreshes. Good luck getting a steady 240 FPS on anything but the beefiest and most expensive GPU/CPU combo and even then you might find yourself needing to tune down your graphics settings in most newer AAA titles.
    Enough said.

    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.

      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.

    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.

Such a pain!!!! The tech said if you hot plug the ports the monitor will shut off display ports and only thing to fix it Is to replace the input board. Says he does about 5 a week. Simple fix. But common. I figured a monitor that I paid 1,200 for it would allow hot plugging. Guess I was wrong.

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.

If you can get more than 140 fps at max settings on current gen games at these monitor specs then I would like to see where on earth your pc came from. Also the smart kvm is leaps and bounds better tech than what samsung is offering. With the Asus monitor you can get 3 separate connections going thanks to that powered usb C port. I clicked your video to see why I shouldn't buy this monitor but honestly I'm leaving unimpressed with your channel more than anything else. Also could you please pronounce Asus correctly?

      @RiceCubeTech 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
