I have both the AW3225QF and this LG. The main reason why I'm considering keeping this one over the AW is first its way easier to clean-not have to "deal" with micro scratches from gentle wiping- and 2, the deep OLED blacks-the whole reason to go OLED. Don't get me wrong the AW is no slouch. It's just that i'm sacrificing the deeper blacks and a screen that is so sensitive to any gentle wipe for what a slight increase in sharpness. Right now I'm typing this on the LG while I have this same video opened up on the AW right next to it and from a normal typing distance I cannot tell a difference in sharpness besides color-the AW does have a tad punchier colors to it. But I also kinda like the more lifelike color pallete on this panel. I'd say if you like the monitor get it and don't listen to the guys complaining about the grain. Ask them how those raised blacks doing lol
I have both as well and am keeping both. Have them mounted side by side and prefer the LG for similar reasons I’ve seen a lot of reviews not too fond of the LG but once you mess with the settings I prefer it over the AW

Great review! Seriously considering this to be my next monitor. Also considering upcoming ASUS 2k OLED, 480hz ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQDP. I play competitive type FPS, but also want max quality and "prettiness". Thanks again.
If you only play fps games then the upcoming 480hz 2k will be a better option. However this does a great job of giving you both a high res and high refresh experience, I know for myself that I need both so this is my choice. Glad I could help!
got this couple days ago, because i work as developer in the day, and grind cs2 at night, and oh boy, i still suck at this game, but monitor is just something else
LG knew this. It’s all marketing. I returned it the same day I got it. Also tried the Alienware AW3225QF and returned it same day. Vote with your wallet. Stop rewarding companies by paying for overpriced monitors that are subpar.
At 6:49 you say there's no text color fringing, but you show on screen some of the worst color fringing on text we've seen in an OLED monitor to date. Other reviews mention how bad it as well. I hope OLED panel manufacturers can get this color fringing problem under control soon. I want to buy one so bad, but I know that problem would drive me absolutely nuts.
Not to mention these displays just do not get that bright. IPS displays on the other hand do put out enough brightness. I tried this LG monitor as well as the AW3225QF and returned both the same day they arrived. Oh and the stupid “Pixel Sound” built in speakers are hot garbage. Anyone spending $1.4k on a monitor definitely has dedicated stereo speakers that will blow it away. It’s all just marketing. Vote with your wallet. Stop rewarding companies for selling overpriced, subpar products.
There is no color fringe at any normal viewing distance, only appears when you get the camera very close to the text which might not be the best representation of what you’ll actually experience.
I don’t know if you actually have this monitor or not, but the sound quality is really good for any normal use, the brightness is also so high that i turn it down, if there was any issues i would mention them, I bought this with my own money and falsely advertising it doesn’t benefit me.
@@TechTicals except it's literally been measured to have poor brightness and my own eyes told the same story. Sounds like you're coping over a bad purchase, but as long as _you_ are happy, that's all that matters to yourself.
@@bren.r No actually most of the reviews I watched said the brightness was good, so did my own eyes, and I could have returned it if I wanted to. I guess people have different expectations for brightness.
Same - returned it same day. I also tried the AW3225QF and returned that. OLED monitors for PCs just do not get bright enough. I refuse to pay $1.4k for a subpar product. Also the matte finish is horrible as expected. The cherry on top would be 27” instead of 32”.

Good point, slightly punchier colors don’t make up for the negatives of AW.

@@Luisangelnaza what setting are you using
@@TechTicals high peak brightness customer color C1 and brightness all the way up but the biggest difference is going in Nvidia control panel and tweaking the gamma slightly makes all the difference
@@Luisangelnazaeven with max brightness, it’s still dim compared to my LG IPS display.
So far I like the msi oled monitors. The coating makes colors pop
Been really interested to hear the difference from 240hz to 480hz. On competitive shooter games. Thanks for your thoughts!
The motion is smoother and snappier, I personally can tell the difference easily and really like it.
What is the actual name of the monitor?
32GS95UE-B

Does the monitor have a fan?
@@jasiekkobra2183 i think it does, but you never hear it

I play cs 2 as well, the monitor didn’t help me much either 😂
I wish the cropped modes werent so blurry.
@@rayth4386 yeah that would be perfect, the full screen mode is good though, when pushed back

@@bren.r I agree, but i currently have the asus pg32ucdm, and for my needs, its pretty damn good. the price tag is pretty crazy tho.
Can we switch to 2k resolution 1440p on this monitor?
@@gurpindersinghmuttar not natively no
Use dlss or fsr to play at around 1440p upscaled

it's not
It's so mind-blowing that I returned it just now lol
why lol, I just got the PG32UCDM and was wondering If should try this one as well, for the 1080p 480hz mode.

If you can return it if you don’t like it, then try it.
lol, i got one couple days ago, it is amazing, for competitive playing, you can really feel difference between 240 and 480hz
@@Savadrox I'm curious about the difference between it and Benq 2586x.
This is such a good monitor
