Asus has updated the warranty for their OLED gaming monitors to now include 2 years of panel burn-in coverage. This applies to the PG34WCDM, PG49WCD, PG27AQDM, PG48UQ, PG42UQ and upcoming models like the PG32UCDM.
You'll see the change in the specification tab on Asus product page, so you can refer to that for warranty claims in the future
Is this internationally applied? ? Just purchased 27AQDM in the UK
PG27AQDM this monitor color banding is awful, please stop lying for ROG
They removed this 2 year burn-in warranty from the product page... is Asus trying to scam us again?
Excellent review, even the more technical details were explained in a clear manner. Also loved the charts, very easy to read and digest data from
Thanks for the extended explanation of the color modes and those things that are usually a bit beyond my understanding.
Looks like a great monitor :)
I was waiting for this Review since day 1 of this panels launch! I can't really consider everyone else's review except for your in-depth review, and once again, I'm not disappointed, thanks Tim!
Not gonna lie the Chinese guy really did a in-depth review.

Please start covering VRR flicker on oled screens to bring more awareness to this issue that monitor makers ignore.
@El Cactuar Ive never seen free sync flicker like how it is on oled flicker so thats probably a different thing altogether and are accepted by gamers that say "just play the game normally dude stop nitpicking"
@El Cactuar iv been dealing with flickering on my old gsync monitor for years and i totally agree. I ordered the LG 27 oled and i heard using HDMI 2.1 alleviates the flickering, but we'll see
Thanks for all the reviews Tim, these are so fun to watch. Can't wait to watch the full thing.
MacType cleans up the text nicely. Thanks for the review.
looking forward to your Corsair XENEON 27QHD240 review. Thanks for the amazing work!
Thanks MU! The details you talk about are great!
been waiting to see this one and i cant wait to get one... haven't upgraded monitors since 2012 and wanted it to be a BIG upgrade.
The arrival of OLED in PC monitors has been long over due. So glad to finally see some competition coming to the marketplace. :)
Yeah.. i bought an OLED TV in 2017, 6 years ago already (and loving it). My iPhone has an OLED display, and now finally we get OLED computer displays.
I thought so too until my QD-OLED killed my eyes and gave me migraines.
@@foch3 need to lower brightness my friend
@@zaktech7816 I tried everything man. Now even my phone has to be LCD. Huge downgrade visually but my health is more important.
@@foch3 yes 100% ur health is super important. I suffer from photophobia which is bad light sensitivity. I had the same symptoms as u. I noticed lowering brightness in my general environment helped a ton. Also stay VERY hydrated. Best of luck to you!
Thanks for this excellent review! This was part of the impetus behind me getting this monitor, and I absolutely love it. Playing indie and competitive games at 240 hz is amazing, the HDR looks utterly astonishing, and the black levels are great. Outside of tearing during 4k blu ray playback, it’s been amazing. Easily one of the biggest upgrades to my gaming set up in my life.
Been waiting for this review, Tim :)
Thanks as always for this great review! Will be picking one up for sure when it gets released in the Netherlands, glad I didn't go for the LG :)
Good for more monitors being released and will be in use in real world to see how they fair, as well as improvements for next gens. Still all those known quirks to be issued in future monitors, but those upcoming panels in next years are looking really awesome. Better lifespan and brightness peak and sub-pixel layout improvement be it from MS or however, will be great.
Which panels are coming out that youre speaking of?
@@donsly375 you can google upcoming monitrs and check panels
This was a great review and one I've been waiting to hear. This monitor has been extremely good to me for the past 2.5 weeks with daily usage. I'll admit I'm afraid of burn-in so i keep my brightness at 60-70 range, but even so this is still quite bright. The response is quite amazing, and the color accuracy for me is very good. I'm very glad I made this purchase, it's the best monitor I ever owned so far, and I do hope this technology becomes the standard and the prices for these kinds of displays lessen. I use it mostly for just gaming and light youtube use, but if i do need to do any static screen work, i'll use my LCD panel.
im looking at buying this monitor, have you had any troubles or issues? are you on the most recent firmware version?
@@Huskmini 5 months in owning this monitor, I have not had any problems with it. Yes I'm running the latest firmware update, MCM104 and it indeed did improve the HDR. Great monitor overall and would recommend if your budget allows it.
@@ajdbob2831 how is the issue on desktop with the text sharpness?
@@floh667 I'll admit, if the text is too small or fine. You'll see the red and green on the sides of the text making it a little difficult to read, but make it big enough. It's just fine to read, and the sides of the text won't be too noticable.
@@ajdbob2831 can you weaken the effect by disabling cleartype?
Excellent review, Tim
Beautiful review man! I just recently bought a 32" 4K Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 and I couldn't stand all the blooming around dark areas next to bright areas. I returned it today and ordered this monitor! It'll be here tomorrow! I cannot wait! My FIRST EVER OLED! :)
What an outstanding review Tim! So much great feedback and also lots of technical elements explained along the way. I'd really like to get an OLED monitor for gaming but I've always bought 16:9 30/32' monitors in the past, so I don't really want to get a smaller monitor now and the ultrawides just don't do it for me.
Absolutely truth... today I bought 34" Dell Alienware AW3423DWF and I´ll send it back.... awesome breathtaking monitor at all BUT I came to it from 32 inch and I just cant get over size of panel. I miss vertical space on 34 inch so much that I have to return this awesome piece of technology... :(
I heard that LG has 32 4k OLED in the pipeline for end of 2024
@@MalmsteenSVK from what I understand the qD oled monitors are having serious burn in problems.
32" 4k is 2025 i think. but i agree
current gpus can't drive 4k anyway
@@MsFearco You need a top end GPU for sure but to say current GPU's can't drive 4K, that's not true unless you want to make use of higher refresh rates.

Great review as always
Indeed, Welcome back!
Indeed, welcome back
That Acer X27 and PG27UQ are still so amazing in 2023. 2nd brightest panels on their list. Amazing
I'd love if you reviewed the 27m2v. As it seems to be by far the best mini led monitor we've ever gotten on the market. And I'd like to know if you reccomend it or not :)
Yes please!
Seconded. I really want to get a 4K mini-LED monitor for a mixture of productivity, gaming and creative work and I have been stuck in analysis paralysis between the 27M2V, the GM001J, the M27P20 Pro and the GP27U.
This, and pretty much all Innocn monitors: 27M2V, ESPECIALLY the 32M2V, and even the 32Q1U.
Just got mine delivered today. Can’t wait to be home from work to try it out. Bought on Amazon so if it doesn’t live up to what I think it should it then it would be an easy return!
@@chuysguy360 how is it for you?
Heey Tim I was wondering if it would be possible to also review the new Redmagic 4K gaming monitor, the INNOCN 27M2V and the INNOCN 32M2V? Those monitor specs are looking very interesting
Mine came today and I totally love it! 🔥
How did u get one!!! And where
@@KrishPatel-ni9jp From Proshop. I pre ordered it a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the product page is not availaible anymore. Had luck to get one of them!
Did you ever get burn in with it?
Never. Every 8 hours a pixel refresh and everything was fine
Finally the review we all been waiting for! I happen to also Finally snag one this morning before they sent the now in stock emails!
Honestly was expecting better, when was this reviewed? Is it the current most FW?
I'm impressed by the relative performance of the LG OLEDs in the RTINGs burn-in test preliminary results, and thinking that the higher brightness on offer here is not so much a "feature" as sliding the scale away from LG's conservative approach to burn-in to a more aggressive approach that removes the safety limits. I'm just not convinced that the bigger heatsink is enough to offset the added risk, and Asus isn't offering anything that would provide any reassurance. I would treat this as an experiment in pushing the limits of OLED brightness--and one that early adopters could get burned on.
It's brighter because it uses the new MLA+Heatsink panel like the new G3 TV, it's not the same panel like he says as far as I know
@@wing0zerolg 27 inch oled uses MLA and a heatsink too so….
@wing0zero asus uses the exact same panel as LG, it comes from LG.
@@wing0zero no, it's literally the same panel as the LG just overdriven.
asus warranty means no warranty.
not hard to push limits this way... vs 5year lg..
also +50% price in my area wooo asus tax
i would like to add that 100% brightness is a stupid measure who the hell want to light a football field with a fullwhite screen lol.
50 25 ans 10% is what matters
or real scene brightness combined of 50 scenes not 3...
Thanks guys !!
Man monitors have gotten/are getting so damn nice, so fast.
i've been waiting for this vid! not disappointed in this at all. PC and display port use only on my part so idgaf about the HDMI bit.
Nice to see it doesn't suffer from overshoot issues at lower framerates like the LG did.
That's fixed with the firmware update.
I don't really think it even matters with oleds because as far as I know the total response time is recorded after it had stopped overshooting and even the total response time on a transition that's overshooting is well below the refresh window
Can't wait to get this. Thanks Tim for convincing me that this is a better buy than the 27gr95qe
Yes. More oled monitors please! i am waiting for 34 qd-oled gen 2 panel monitor - cant wait to see an hdr true black 500 and 240 refresh Qd-oled monitor
Love these videos as a monitor inthusiest
LG was available in Germany for 880€ preorder where as Asus is currently sitting at 1499€. Ill take LG any day of the week for that price difference and for the fact ASUS cant be bothered including HDMI 2.1 on a 1000€+ product.
found one on the Amazon Warehouse website for $650. Damaged packaging, nothing else.
Good review as always just a shame the video isnt also shown in hdr
Blows away the LG OLED. Odd because it's using the... LG OLED panel...
Kind of funny that Asus is beating LG with their own panel.
I wait to July for the dough spektrum oled in glossy 🥰
Thank you so much for this review!!! INNOCN 27M2V? :D
Thanks for the Review Tim. Great Job. I wonder which would be the best settings for calibration using i1 Display Pro in DisplayCal. Especially regarding "Correction"
Great review as always Tim. If this came out about 1 ½ years ago I'd be all over it. Having moved to 4K gaming like many people I'll be waiting a year or two for a 4K, HDMi 2.1, 32" variant.
I was also looking at 4K OLEDs, I specifically considered the ASUS ROG Swift PG42UQ but I don't want a normal OLED, I specifically want a QD-OLED, and as of right now there's only 4 QD-OLEDs on the market and all 4 are 1440p Ultrawides.
I currently own one of those and it's really the best on the market for me, but I just wish there was something between 32-42" 4K QD-OLED.
Does anyone even get out of bed for less than 32 inches nowadays?
Especially at this price.
Real estate baby, real estate.
And I have been looking at monitors since CRT and Sony trinitron.
Why would they put hdmi ports that can not even Saturate the max frame rate
Insane to me
@@fepethepenguin8287 No HDMI "native" content can push the bandwidth to require HDMI 2.1 (TV/movies/consoles). It's a 1440p monitor, not 4k. PC market has been display port focused for years now.
@@LeroyPeterson ya I just realized it was not 4k
why not include ufo test? i realize its the same panel as the LG one but this one has less overshoot so i would like to see the difference in terms of real world performance.
at any rate thank you for the awesome review
It's a shame they can't do a white stripe horizontally thru the center of what would be the normal RGB vertical stripes. Then it'd be a bit more like double color dots than stripes though. Not sure how well that would play with some content, but surely it'd be better than some of what's out there.
Me watching it on 10 years old 60 hz monitor... yeah the black and colors looks 'amazing, especially response time. And it does look amazing, actually!
Please include UFO test next time.
Are you going to review the upcoming Crosair 240Hz OLED monitor?
Thanks
Important to note QD-OLED brightness is directly correlated with RGB brightness. Whilst the ASUS might be 200 nits brighter in one scene most of that brightness is white subpixel boosting so in real content full of colour QD-OLED is more likely to shine.
This obsession with brightness on Oled panels is baffling to me. They don’t need to be nearly as bright to give a much better contrast and picture quality then other LCD technologies.
That's why those QD are more likely to burn-in. For bright scenes you have to use the colored subpixel.
@@Clutch4IceCream this relates to colour volume not just overall panel brightness.
@@Clutch4IceCream If you don't care about brightness that's cool. You're entitled to your opinion but I don't see the issue with clarifying the results by saying the white window test pattern brightness won't translate to real content due to the white subpixel?
@@xm3405 right, there’s a reason why oled tv manufacturers compete on brightness primarily on oled. Everything else is secondary.
Thanks for this in-depth review! I have one question though and hope you're willing to read this:
I just bought the LG version and I'm planning to switch it for this Asus one because mine is very dark (even in a dark room) and any color preset other than the default and reader mode forces smart energy saving on which reduces image quality because it constantly dims if the image isn't a really dark scenario.
The uniformity is also pretty bad with the corners of a white screen turning yellowish
So I've read about this monitor and it should not only be brighter and have beter uniformity but I should also be able to turn off any automatic dimming while turning the monitor as bright as I want without locking out any color presets, can you confirm this?
You might see this comment in other places too... Thank you in advance.
I will say that after using this monitor for a solid day, that brightness shifter is not nearly as noticeable as people make it sound and it has an advantage.
It helps prevent bright white flashbangs and bright whites from straining the eyes.
The uniform brightness is still perfectly great.
Sounds good for a csgo player. Those nasty flashbangs are killing my eyes sooner or later lmao
And since you have the monitor, can you tell me if it's possible to turn off the rgb on the front and back?
@@bwabbel yeh you can do a lot of fun stuff.
Hello and thank you for this comprehensive test🙏🏻.
Once firmware 104 is installed, what changes do you recommend to make please? (Switch the screen to srgb and what else?)
@Monitors Unboxed, can you test the relatively new Windows 11 " Auto Color Management (ACM) " a new color management that replaces the old ICC profile method? The new color management apparently supports wide gamut monitors out of the box regardless if a program is color managed or not. This means no more oversaturation in SDR for wide gamut monitors. That would be cool.
It looks like how the heat sink is providing cooling to the rest of the panel is through those heat pipes 1:50.
First of all Tim, I do enjoy your content. I have the PG42UQ and understand the brightness levels of OLED is a disadvantage of the tech but I don't see that being the only reason to rank monitors against each other. Size, connectivity (HDMI), features and, color quality are all discussed but the continued weighted focus on brightness is not as impactful as described.
Brightness matters a ton for hdr content, which is where Oled excels, hence the focus on overall nit output
Now that you are testing OLEDs is there a way you can give OLED two seperate scores for contrast? Obviously pure black will be infinite but would be more curious what the contrast is when considering the "dimmest without pixel being off' which likely will matter for lots of content.
This monitor seems to be better than the LG, but future will tell whether burn-in will be better too. I got 20% off on the LG and am happy with my purchase. In any way I am very glad that OLED on pc is catching on.
Sitting in the same boat, got the LG for 20% less too. I tell myself, that price/performance it was a good purchase. I refuse to pay like 1000€ for a 27'' PC monitor, my old one was just 300-400€.
Same here, and from what I can see in my country Australia it looks like the Asus will retail for $1899 as it’s up on some retailers here for that price already. I payed $1468 with the discount.
@@joshuabrain9751 @L D I mean It comes at a hefty premium, but the monitor is much better than my 1080p tn panel. I dont know whether its worth paying 450 euros just for oled, but i bought this knowing im paying forthe novelty of getting something so new, im sure the same applies for you lads too.
Its genuinely surprising how much discount they gave us but I dont care about the 40-50 nits at all since i run my monitor at 170 nits anyway
@@joshuabrain9751 i also paid that price with a discount, 20% off and free shipping is a great deal
@@shadowprice8100 @Erksah for the price we payed I think we got a great deal, from what I can see the Asus will actually be $2000 in Australia. My shipping status has changed to “picking order” getting bloody keen! I already have a C1 65” for movies and PS5, can’t wait to play some PC games maxed out with HDR on the 27GR95QE-B. This monitor will be perfect for my needs as the 240hz refresh and low input lag and response times will also be awesome for CSGO which I play a lot of.
Can you consider reviewing some KTC monitors? They have some sick panels and prices, especially at chinese retailers
Getting one is like a mythical quest. One day… some day…. I’ll get the next iteration of it.
Happy they are already getting better. I can’t wait to buy myself an oled 1440p 360hz hope soon. My 390hz 1080p is still doing great and will hold up until the 360hz version surfaces
What are you playing at 1440p over 360hz?
@@B.M.D. he's probably playing ancient games like counter strike and other garbage.
I wonder how it'll affect burn in with pushing the panel this hard, I know LG uses heatsink in their G lineup, but to the best of my knowledge that covers the entire panel.
less than 10 months lol if you do 10-12hrs a day at that peak brightness
I will recommend MacType to anyone using an OLED monitor. It almost entirely eliminates any visible fringing on text.
Yes I was desperate!
Not a joke thanks for this review
Hi Tim! love ur reviews but, speaking of brigteness... sdr, hdr, 10%/100% window, etc, i'm kinda lost...😅 i don't use sdr and hdr in any game whatever that means, at least i don't activate or tuch anything about those. So what brightness should i expect from this monitor in this case? i play mostly cs go...
Would’ve been nice if you gave a recommendation for the same technology but a monitor with a glossy display vs matte
Hello there and thanks for this review that, with the LG Oled too, is what "we" have been waiting for. At 6:21 you talk about the "static elements" tha could cause burn-in BUT also most games have stati elements such maps on corner, bars in center .. are this elemets that could be a problems too? Think that a gamer could stand many hours on the same game ... Thanks for the answer about it.
The real question is, at least for me - casual gamer, that after more than 12 years with my WONDERFULL Eizo Foris FS2333 40635hs of use, I'm looking to change by going directly to a TOP of the range, I also thought about the ASUS PG279QM but it seems to have "retired" much in advance, what you think about (or if you have other suggestions) 🤩
P.S.: As StealthHunter reports, down the comments, also in Europe this Asus monitor is sold for 600€ more than LG, let's call them quirks instead of commercial strategies!
@@KFC-Warrior THx and translated: the duration as it would consist .. there should be tests performed in this context is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
One thing this review completely failed to address is the fact that this monitor's HDR mode colors are completely screwed. This monitor is HORRIBLE looking, even after updating the firmware to the latest version (103). Also, there are several "HDR Presets" available while HDR is enabled, and those are broken as well, changing nothing when you select one over another. This monitor is a complete no-go for me and anyone that's ever seen actual good HDR (e.g LG C-series TVs) and expect something similar. The SDR mode on this monitor actually looks far superior. lol
The LG 27" OLED is far better than this monitor, even considering the brightness. It's clear that Asus took this panel and went nuts with it, and completely destroyed color reproduction in the process. I'm not sure why this was completely glossed over in the review, but seems a bit disingenuous.
Update: I've purchased (and returned) this Asus monitor twice now, having tested it a 2nd time after the latest firmware update. The colors are still atrocious. I settled on the LG 27GR95QE-B 240Hz OLED monitor. The brightness is not a concern for me since I just bought some curtains, and the color reproduction on this LG is FAR, FAR better than the Asus. HDMI 2.1 is a great addition as well, along with the fact the ports come straight out the back of the monitor chassis, unlike the bottom-fed ports on the Asus.
I don't know why the HDR issue is not discussed in this video, what you said is a real fact. I have this monitor and use it only in SDR, HDR is broken. Skin color looks oversaturated close to white. th-cam.com/video/BUVlamjtjmo/w-d-xo.html
Brightness with dolby. Realistic daylight peak brightness is more important than rtx but tone mapping and colour accuracy are even more important. Denoising and image processing are paramount. So peak brightness could be the culmination of image perfection or just garish like poor upscaling.
I need this in a 32in size I play mostly single players or coop game like remnan and elden ring so 27 is a bit tk small for me but I'm excited to finally be getting oled at 1440p
It's good to see OLED finally flooding the PC space. As soon as I heard of the C9 G-Sync update back in 2019, I knew the CX would be my next display to try out and it blew away any $1K-1.5K IPS monitor I ever had. It was to replace my TV but I still did all my gaming on it. So when the 42" C2 dropped that because my new PC display and it's been amazing. 42" is near perfect and gloss is boss. But these 27" 1440p 240Hz OLEDs will be the sweet spot for most.
It was for me! I returned my C2 today srictly because I bought the LG 240HZ OLED, I wish it was 4k to max out my 4090 but honestly I'm more than happy with it so I can jack up settings and if I really wanted 4K @ 27" I can use the upscaling.
And lmao I just realized the username I replied too
32" is the biggest you should go for pc gaming. Anything else is to big and forces you to turn your head to see everything
@@kenshinhimura9387 there's really no rule what size you should use, your desk could be really deep, you might play with a controller most of the time, some use 48" just fine. i don't know if i could drop to 32" but each size will be ideal for someone. i used to be on 4K 28" and the thought of 4K 32" when they were just releasing was way too big imo at the time lol
I wish you had an intro with music like on hardware unboxed channel.
I lost count how many times Tim repeated the Asus model name 😅😂🤣in this video. It’s a beautiful 🤩looking monitor for sure 🤯😉
Now has firmware update that according to Asus: 'Optimize HDR color accuracy and 30% color saturation improvement' would love to see a retest😮
If corsair can tune their panel near asus with better HDR tracking we might have a winner with 3 years of warranty.
Not really, because the Corsair model is just way to step for what you get
I tested both this and the Alienware ultrawide qd oled. I kept this one. Something surreal about the motion and look even against the qd oled. It seemed like it was faster and smoother. Unbelievable monitor for PC gaming.
I’m doing the same thing at the moment haha. The extra 65hz will do that to you.
RIP LG 2795GRE-B. I’m in the return window for mine but will keep it because I got it for $100 off, I find the brightness sufficient, I like the DTS:X feature, I dislike the look of the asus model, and I use the hdmi 2.1 mode.
Any chance you can re-test with the update they just put out? 😬 Thank you!!
32" 4k 240hz oled panels are going to be crazy in 2025.
After watching so many OLED gaming monitor reviews, it makes me realize just how good my Alienware AW3423DW is. So glad I got it last year. It's been an amazing experience. Best upgrade I've made in years, and that includes GPUs.
Exactly on the same boat
Tbh, any oled would be that. Pricing just needs to come down...This screen is more than 1200 dollars in EU...The LG own model is 1200.
How is your monitor in terms of burn in?
I see both AW3423DWF and G8 OLED in stock in my country, but I can’t pull the trigger because I’m afraid of burn in
I thought the same till I learned how much worse burn-in is on Samsung based Oleds.
@@Djuntas that's a very reasonable price and was since launch.
What is the game you are showing with the church? Looks cool ❤
Il wait for this to get a lower price tag when the newer one is released, currently i own a Predator X34 first gen, im tired with ultrawide, will this be a great upgrade?
Great job, as always. It's a shame that none of these 240Hz OLED implemented BFI. Using 480Hz PWM we could get 1ms of persistence by reducing the brightness in 4x (based on the Talbot-Plateau's Law). Ideally, I'd like an OLED Monitor with the options to adjust the pulse width to trade brightness with Motion clarity as we want.
Even with 240Hz PWM, we could get all the options to adjust the pulse width and play at 120fps with better motion than 240fps
Amen to that.
@@plasmatvforgaming9648 idk about that
@El Cactuar you clearly dont understand the technology then. Its reducing persistence. Persistence is ghosting in the human brain. Go read up
There are serious HDR issues and I wish you would have dived into it versus skipping over. This NEEDS more visibility. The Display Guy went into it and made effort to talk about its significance.
He made his review earlier therefore didn't have the firmware update. Hdr is great now.
Thanks
the asus have HDR issues big ones im surprised you didnt mention them
Im waiting for some great qd oleds
Hi bro! ty for your vid and so many info!
I have a quetions, i planning to buy 2 k oled and i think i ll choose asus oled 2k 27, does after a time of use it all still great and you no plan to switch on other oled monitors of corsair/acer/aoc? Or better to calmly wait them and choose best? Or asus already must be one of best
And what means hdmi 2.0 not good for consoles, how that work? i plan in future buy ps5 and xbox x and thinking how bad it will be if i stay asus for play on thme games like apex legends
Asus 2k oled will take from me around 1600$ with delivery to my place
What you can say in total it very good buy? i currently on 240 hz dyac + benq 2546k
It will be big changes in screen and shooting for me on oled? I play apex legends/Dayz and plan to play other games single/survival/shooting. Oled of Asus will be very good for apex/dayz and others vs my TN 240 benq? I want be able to see more clear screen to see enemy pixels on distance/green/bushes/ pick from top of building or like very little part of head
Will be so thankful for your reply!
Gosh, this monitor is a beast! Would love one... prob $1000 plus?
waiting for the WOWLED before i buy.
I never found my c2 oled tv or my aw34 qdoled to be too dim. Unless you watch tv at high noon with open blinds haha
Think I’d be happy with this one
Will you review the KTC M27T20? it's the same as the gp27q, but with a VA panel. I think it would be interesting!
It doesn’t allow local dimming with vrr yet so the review would not be favorable.
@@Keivz yeah, I emailed them about that last week and they said they would release a firmware update by the 16th of april fixing that.
However like 2 days ago they said it still wasn't ready cause the monitor failed some flickering test with the firmware update. So could maybe get fixed in the near future, maybe no, but either way i think a review would be interesting.
especially since this monitor is available in the EU market unlike the cooler master one
There are some great gaming monitors such as the 27GR95QE. But many have short comings, such as the RBG and burn ins. Is there a great gaming monitor such as the Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM and the LG but also great for design. Or is that a dream that will never happen and I should settle with two types of monitors?
What is the point of the black frame insertion? If frames comes at a steady rate, is showing the frames a shorter period perceived as sharper than just displaying the frame until the next frame displayed?
I still miss the contrast ratio chart, it makes it so hard to cross compare monitors with this "black level" chart
Is it easy to get burn in on this ??? Thinking of getting it
I would like to see a roundup of sub-$400 monitors for gamers as not everyone can afford …. Or wants to spend $1k USD+ on their monitor.
Hi Tim! Does it have a VESA compatible bracket on the back and can I use it with a monitor arm? I have no space on my desk for the stand
Please do the INNOCN 32M2V 32” Mini LED
We still have 5-10 yrs before even QDOLEDs can sustain an actual HDR picture of 700-1000 nits in most window sizes lol anything bigger than 10% window just falls down to SDR levels. Great dark room/perfect blacks, color purity and small highlights but this is just a small niche of HDR content.
Games and movies love big explosions for example.
That new stand design is 💰
