    How would you compare it to the Alienware counterpart? I’m stuck between the G8, the Alienware 32in QDOLED or the lg GS95UE. I like the LG bc it has dual mode. 4K 240 and 1080 480hz

    • @Lol-qt9kv
      @Lol-qt9kv 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      I was debating too and eventually went with the g8. I had a 34gs95qe which was woled of the 32gs but thought that 480hz at 1080p was overkill as the monitor was never in stock/on sale. The g8 was on sale and I acctually really appreciate the qd oled vibrancy and never think that I need to go to 1080p ever. The purpose of buying a 32 inch panel is for the 4k 240hz experience so I would never use 1080 regardless of the game

      Interesting. I didn't notice at first, but I just checked and you're right. It seems like the power connector can be pushed in a bit. It's like the board that it's attached to is flexible or something. Weird.

      You definitely can but you will have to use upscaling on the modern titles that support it. Although this is true at 1440p as well in a lot of newer games so I wouldn’t let that stop you.

And if its a monitor its already connected to a pc that can do it all... so whats the usecase? The small group of students that uses their monitor as a tv? ( i use to do that) but then again which student will pay 1300€ ...you get 200€ monitor and a chromecast and youre done. So why not save the cost on the hub and smart hub... i feel like more people need a good monitor than a smart monitor with all the gizmos which is expensive..

    I feel like you got paid to talk positive about this, since you really didn't talk about any downsides such as the common purple/red tint in many scenarios, no kvm, poor color display in Windows but good in some games. Are you running default video settings? Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vision in any of their TV's or monitors, they went with HDR10+ instead so this was no surprise.
