YOOOOOOOOO MY HOMIE WITH THE ZORZIE SHOUTOUT!! To answer your question in the vid title, definitely Zorz. I'm in too deep now, man... I couldn't leave if I wanted to 🥲. I live here now. I see you've been working on some things... Don't worry, I see you I see you ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I have so many things to say lol goddammit XD. The editing, just the general timing between cuts, the music and the drama and the pauses lol. We can feel the extra polishing and the attention you brought to details and fluidity/flow of it all. It's not overdone either, like it's not too much or anything. Good stuff!!! You've done homework or something? It was always good so far, but this is like next-level? Am I crazy? Anyone?👀 AND THE RESEARCH.... Everything is super in-depth and yet worded in a way that's easy to follow. You're nailing it on this point again. That's it. We're there boys. This is the promised land isn't it? ..... Like I said, I live here now. So......... the HDMI2.0 actually IS a limitation in the end... We were kinda questioning this during the unboxing video but never really investigated more... Welp, that's a shame. I guess a lot of monitors will start having those better ports soon anyway, but sad they didn't jump on the occasion for this one. Still overall looks awesome, like you said it can be really cool for immersion if you don't need the performance edge! Seeing those two monitors side by side and directy compared is also something I believe quite a few of us were requesting. The only question I have left is about the audio outputs... like... are those even decent? Rtings does have a quick description/mention but it's really basic info... Obviously I wouldn't expect a big deal, and I can't really blame you for not getting into yet another complicated subject lol.... since most people that really care about that have dedicated DACs and AMPs anyway... Would prolly not be worth it. but I am quite curious to know if they sound any good, by principle of knowing how the money I give them is being used lol, if anything. That and how input lag would compare between the monitors, but Rtings usually covers that in detail so I can go there for that. Side-side topic; APPARENTLY, some people actually mod their monitors, like remove the frame, then put a bunch of wet scott towels on the screen, leave for like 3-5 hours, and then PEEL OFF the matt coating from their monitors !?! Looks like you could potentially risk doing it too fast or wrong and it could damage the polarization layer... but when done carefully you can turn any matte/anti-glare coating into a glossy screen... I'm not sure if it would be possible to have a glass made for it to protect it once the coating is removed though, you probably wouldn't want to even risk scratches with the softest cloth... but isn't that nuts? Anyway, thought that was interesting enough to be worthy of bringing to your attention. BUT YEAH, back to topic. it's crazy good content man. Keep it up!! but...... Don't skip on fun times though lol, right? Take time for that at least, for your own sake.... (and theirs lol, whoever they may be). If you're going to be your own boss, the least you can do for yourself is not to burn yourself out! The zorzies have needs too dood, we'll understand if it's a bit later than we would expect ahah. And I'm glad to be here too man, btw. Not only that, I'm proud to be! LET IT BE KNOWN, I WAS HERE !!! OG ZORZIE 😎 omg I need a shirt that says that, now.. Alright enough, lemme get out of here before I create myself more needs with good ideas like this lol Edit: btw ZorzDad seems so cool! How awesome af is it that you make him part of your thing?? I’m kinda jelly lol, but I like that. Such good vibes, too
For sure! Furious Banana for life! I will get you a one of one shirt when I get big that says that. You live here now! Sorry I skipped the audio. I feel like audio is just a path I don’t even want to wrap my head around or else I’ll be going nuts researching the audio chips in the monitors and anyone serious already has hardware for that but I’ll try on the next one. Thank you so much for acknowledging the effort and timing and music and editing that went into this. It took me like 40 hours or more with the research. I have a lot of other videos half filmed. They won’t be quite as good but I think I should get them out. They’ll still be decent… People really do that?!! Wow. That’s ballsie. Right now I’m so broke that I won’t be able to risk it I don’t think. I might start a Patreon… for real.. Also - my Dad was truly elite in infinite ways and he loved games more than me. Didn’t need the best gear cause he loved the games. He played with a basilisk. It’s still on his desk. I miss him always. He would stole this thing from me and would be up all night playing Diablo 4 while staying Zorz.
@@ZorzGaming don’t worry about the audio, I was particularly curious about these monitors due to the small effort they did implementing extras on them, and nobody really seems to go in depth about those, but like you said people that really care have other external setups. And yeah, people actually do that lol. I’ve seen quite a few people saying they’re glad they went through with the mod, but you’re right that its very ballsy with expensive ones like that. If you’re curious, you can see an exemple being done on Tom Kos GIY’s channel, named like “how to remove coating from monitor” or something like that. Video is far from being on the quality level of the things you’ve brought to us lately, tbh I didn’t really look into his channel that much, but it gives a good idea, and there’s a bunch of comments discussing experiences etc. Maybe next time you upgrade screens and have a spare one, if you have nothing else going on, you could give that a shot for content lol. Or when you become famous and have too much time and money to spare (should be a few months right?)…
@@theREALfuriousbanana A few months? I certainly hope so. I wont be able to continue to be purchasing things basically now. I'll need the love and support of the community and getting to 10k subs as quick as possible. I would love to do that coating shit.... let me see if I have the courage...
Damn it was worth the wait... im so glad i found this channel searching for OLED reviews. The level of detail you went into testing this thing is actually impressive, please keep making content man your wit and banter can not be surpassed wether its reviewing a £1000 monitor or a really light mouse that probably shouldnt be possible its super rare to see such passion come through like this and damn is it helpful for people who feel like blowing a grand on OLED because ya know (WHO WOULD DO THAT RIGHT!? HEHE) By the way your pops seemed like a complete leg-end!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it. He genuinely was :). He woulda stole this from my room and been up all night playing Diablo 4. Miss him everyday. All your words are super appreciated and what keep me going. I want to get faster cause I edit for days. I deeply appreciate your support and for joining the Zorz Nation!
@@ZorzGaming I lost my pops to cancer a few years back so I know what you are going through man, take everyday as it comes don't worry about the speed! Zorz Nation represent!
Raven giving a professional monitor review. Hell yeah!! I'm legit coming from a CRT. I'm that guy. So me changing monitors is a big thing. I got the AW3423AWF & G8 OLED. I returned the AW3423AWF only because of minor things. Same panel. But the G8 has a slimmer design, remote control and HDMI 2.1. I can play 175hz @ 12bit. Even with DP. I got 175hz @ 10bit. The colors and vividness are so much better on the G8.. side by side with the same game. Good review and lots of useful information 👍
Dude is by now a certified doctor of monitor magic research. Really neat video...still haven't decided which OLED to pick, gonna keep thinking and wait a little
If you have the time then just chill. Wait a bit. What games do you play? That really will decide it. So far no one has made the dream monitor yet. And thank you!!
Leave it to Zorz to turn down sex and write a master's thesis on a monitor. The level of research on this is crazy. Well worth the wait for the review. Cheers. This is truly zorz, Zorz.
Hi man, I really wanted to thank you for this review. I haven't seen anything that goes so in depth, and it helped me decide to get the Alienware! Really happy with it, even more happy with the 157hz 10-Bit trick. I can't believe nobody else took that in their review. ZORZ NATION! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey man 🖖. Disabled Vet here. Back into pc gaming after like 20 years(have alot of catching up lol). Stumbled across your video, really good info. I Choose the Alienware, as I am building a semi high-end rig for Starfield. Thank you for the information! I'm going to hope once i set it up that the new firmware eliminates some of the older issues it was having. Cheers🍻
Subbed. You are a very silly guy. Silly recognizes silly. Also, the production quality is very good. I will be rewatching this when my Alien Vision gets here tomorrow.
I almost screwed up and bought the old version of the Alienware Monitor that everyone seems to hate. I found a brand new one on sale for $899. Will be arriving to my home soon, but this one has been rated as the best all around monitor to use for both gaming and productivity. I do alot of photoshop work in addition to gaming. Anyways, thanks for the in-depth video. 😎
You're very welcome! It is one of the best monitors on the planet if your goal isn't to play competitive FPS games at a super high level. Welcome to the Zorz Family!
Thank you! I try to speak the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Now when Razer wants to slip me 20k I'll tell you that Razer products are the best! *Kidding :)
+1 for the algorithm. Just wanted to reach out and say thank you very much for the monitor reviews. Your background from professional gaming and attention to whats truly important for a monitor to be excellent is like a beacon of light on TH-cam for people who really cares about this stuff. In addition your videos are highly entertaining. I really hope you succeed with your channel and more equipment start coming your way for review.
I’ve watched a lot of the tech TH-camrs out there about OLED monitors and plenty other things. Other than flossy carter imo, you are the most authentic and just relatable, realistic normal dude out there. Very matter of fact style and I just wanted to say, Keep doing what you’re doing because you have something alot of these established TH-camrs don’t. You can’t teach personality they say and Your content and sense of humour is fantastic. All the best - cheers
Fantastic review. Such a bummer the Alienware does not have 2.1. The mustard finish on the LG prevents me from purchasing that as well. In the end, it looks like I'll be using my acer predator for another year or two.
Thank you!! Give it another year I'd say but you're only losing 18 hertz without the 2.1. If there was a 240 34 widescreen glossy hdmi 2.1 with BFI! That would be the ticket. Thank you so much and welcome to Zorz Nation!
Found you from someone linking me how to flash a GPU bios. And absolutely loved that video so I watched further and subbed! Your expertise and devotion to subject and detailed way of explaining is what i dont see much of anywhere else! Keep doing what you do! Im sure a lot of people are interested in these type of videos!!! You have a bright future ahead with your videos, personality and way of explaining! Stay Zorz!
another great video brother! im planning on getting the DWF as soon as i get the money and its now reduced to £880 in the uk. so hopefully get it soon. are you able to make a short vid on how to set it up from new, in to that 150hz 10bit and all the other settings, in just a short precise vid? that would be awesome and held an old dinosaur like me out. thanks. 🙂
I will try to make a short for you if I can! So much going on. In the description you can get all the links. Look for the one that’s says 150hz in the title. I will try though! I really appreciate you watching and being Zorz!
Finding this video was so perfectly random for me. I bought a mouse from you off offer up, thanks btw its great, and now Im shopping for a new ultrawide and came across your review!! loved the content man! keep it up~!
19:29 "He's running away from Razer Synapse" Lmfao, I love your commentary. Bonus points for having No-one Lives Forever 2 in the background. Man, such a good game.
Watch my video and pause it where I show the custom resolution. Use Nvidia Custom Resolution to create it. Put in the exact values I show! Let me know how it goes!@@R1d3rBul
@@ZorzGaming Something happened and unfortunately I have to reinstall the windows! Everything is okay now, I make it work on 157hz at 10bit RGB. Do you have any other recommendations for shooting games which mode to use?
Thank you!!! Please inform Asus to stop sleeping on Zorz Gaming. Unfortunately in the real world money is catching up and I can’t afford to keep buying these things …
Just discovered this channel, honestly, I'm kinda inspired to do monitor reviews now. You're going places, and hopefully I'll meet you there at some point lol
Thanks for the Zorzy video, Tyler. Turns out the button on the bottom of the LG is multi-directional and can be used for navigating menus. It's incredibly awkward, though.
stumbled upon your channel because of oled monitor research. very professional and funny videos bro. instant sub. keep it up, you channel will EXPLODE!
@@ZorzGaming I am currently building a new PC with a Gigabyte 4090 Aero and a 7800x3d cpu. It is nearly finished (damn cable management takes too long!) and I can't wait to try it with the new monitor!
@@pillepolle3122 Awesome! Please do me a favor. Use the DP cord and check out 12 bit color at 175, then use the HDMI 2.1 cord and on the 4090 and check out 12 bit color. Please make sure you have Nvidia settings set to use full color etc etc.... Really wanna know if it utilizes the HDMI 2.1 benefit. As of right now ONLY the LG oled I can confirm does for sure. and it only is confirmed on a 4090... But also either way - AWESOME! SO HAPPY FOR YOU! That's gonna be sick!!!
After about 5 videos, and especially the review of the LG Oled and the comparison here, I have to tell you that your videos are really worth seeing. I don't understand why you still have such a short range, seriously. Stay the way you are, and I bet you'll reach more people in the future. Absolute premium content. Sidenote: I own the LG Oled and must admit that the monitor as it comes out of the package is anything but optimal. Only with some tweaking(thank you by the way) the monitor gets really good.
Fantastic review. Can you tell me if you are still using the 157 Hz 10-bit setting, or is the 165 Hz 10-bit setting viable? Based on various Reddit threads and your video, people are saying the 165 Hz 10-bit setting is not true 10-bit but rather just a UI configuration. What are your feelings on this? Have you tested it?
When I did my testing I found it not to actually be working. Someone may have found a work around but I don't know for sure. I've been really obsessed with the Zowie 540hz Dyac 2. Btw - Thank you!! Really appreciate it! Love having you in the Zorz Militia!
@@ZorzGaming Thanks Zorz, I did the testing with the various grading tools, it does indeed look like true 10 bit is working now. Absolutely loving this monitor!
Thanks Dude! The Alienware has the glossy finish. The Samsung I also believe has the Glossy finish and there is a new one from a new company called Dough.
Awesome review and comparison! And congrats with 1k subs! Currently have LG 42c2, was thinking about getting one of those for fps games but will probably wait another year for 32 4k 240 hz glossy oled
sRGB and DCI-P3 are SDR picture presets. The HDR modes use their own colorspace settings. HDR maps to sRGB when in windows desktop or showing SDR content.
@@ZorzGaming That's because each picture preset (SDR and HDR) could be calibrated differently. And for HDR mode in Windows 11, the sRGB tone mapping is handled (poorly) by Windows. The two most accurate modes are SDR "Creator -> sRGB" and "Creator -> DCI-P3" as those two modes were factory calibrated. True Black 400 is decent for HDR content and EOTF tracks pretty well. For HDR 1000, there are still some issues with EOTF tracking which was not fixed in the recent firmware update. If you want ACCURATE modes, use sRGB when using general Windows desktop apps. Switch to HDR True Black (with contrast dropped to 67) when you want to play an HDR game or video. You could use DCI-P3 for SDR use but you will get oversaturated color...of course, some people like that effect.
@@Creelick67 for true black do you have to do 67% contrast? I thought that was just a fix for hdr peak. I've been running mine 75% true black with Windows 11 hdr calibration and looks great.
@@adamt4181 I haven't measured with my meter but I did find both modes benefited from dropping contrast a bit. Not sure what's going on...hopefully Dell figures it out.
Defintely an underrated channel. Keep it going man. You have the it factor to go as far as you want. Im going with the lg instead of the dell oled. Hope its a good move.
Me jumping from 16:9 to Ultra wide 21:9 was another different level , Now adding features like Oled + HDR makes Makes Another level to another Dimension for sure.
I'm of the belief that all OLED is beautiful (and I just prefer 16:9), so I went with the LG. But I would honestly be more than happy with either as I've been dreaming of having an OLED gaming monitor ever since I first used an OLED phone 6 years ago. I just want BFI in my LG so bad that I could pay for it. If LG came out with paid DLC for this monitor that included BFI, I would no joke pay for it. Also, what is the game you're playing at 31:00?
Hey Zorz thanks for the review and sorry for my English. I’m new to the PC gaming world and coming from ps5 with a QD Oled in my living room and currently I have a 4080 paired with an Alienware 2723df IPS and I wasn’t impressed at all. The big concern I have right now to replace my 2723df and change it between this LG Oled and alienware Qd oled and which one to choose. I would do some Home office work and also planing to play some games like Star Wars Survivor, starfield ( in the future ) Baldurs Gate, Diablo 4 and RDR 2 etc. and was wondering which one you would recommend to me? PD: I have never tried an 21:9 screen 🙂.
If you watch the whole thing I tell you almost everything I can think of. The only reason to get the LG is if you want faster. Sounds like you aren't playing ANY games that are super fast fps games so Alienware Wins for sure. Thanks for watching! Welcome to the Zorz Family!
I don’t understand. I’m a xxxxing senior citizen and I just don’t understand. I read and watch Zorz Gaming because it is cool. I would like to humbly recommend some improvements. 1. Have an option that lets Zorz make decisions for you, and tells you what to buy. So that your life is “Decision Free.” 2. Have a place somewhere on line where Zorz devotees can meet and mingle. (Including seniors). 3. A phone number to call and have private consultations conversations for a reasonable fee. Based on your very educated opinion I now own 7 excellent monitors ($5,487) but I don’t think I need that many. Now I want to buy the new Alienware and think about buying the 47” one. The chubby young girl who lives across the street and two doors down from me helps me with my IT but doesn’t know anything about money. I wish there was a way Zorz could be more involved in my life. Thank you and Zorz forever.
We will be having our first annual Zorz shindig and seniors get in for free. Bring everyone! I hope you’re enjoying some game on all those high end monitors! Love you Sal!
Sal brings a really good point. It might not be too complicated to get a Zorz Discord or something. I'm sure some people would be happy to volunteer as moderator(s), and help setting some discussion, information, zorz-growth, or even help channels for people in need like Sal. Create a feed that automatically announces new videos, maybe do events, you could ocasionally stream and chill with the Zorzies and stuff, for occasions or whatever, accept some donations while at it lol, etc.. Might help the Zorz community to grow and become more engaged, and even give you a bit of additional easy or free visibility? Might not even require much work at all, if you have good supporters 🤔
@@theREALfuriousbanana Perhaps I can count on you :) . Discord stuff all new territory :) but I'm definitely down and will start researching it! Certainly guys like Sal need help even though he is the absolute epitome of Zorz!
@@ZorzGaming if i had more time i would be super happy to dedicate part of my schedule for that, but I have no modding experience myself, and a full-time job that requires overtime a lot, so I’d be super unreliable… i could create some threads and maybe look into a few bots, pop in from time to time etc, but we’d probably learning how those things work at the same time lol. I’ve been on discord for a long time so I know a few things that can be done, and some ideas that could be nice to have on there, but I have more general user knowledge than chanel management knowledge, so i’d have to look into how to set them up. Aand you’d probably eventually need more dependable people to cover more times, especially if it starts being busy at some point. But maybe at that point it would be easier to find people, as the zorz comunity grows. I’ll join for sure if you create it though, i just cant promise that i’ll be super useful or that I’ll consistently have a lot of time to put into it. We’ll just have to see where it leads us lol, but I’m down if you have no better option and dont feel like looking into starting all that alone. We could set up a time, look at options, and see how feasable/worth it could be. Who knows where it could lead… doesn’t cost anything to try but a bit of time!
For me, I was debating getting the LG OLED or the XL2566K. In the end, I decided I want the XL2566K. Can't wait for that review. Also, if you do end up keeping the LG, or really like it, check out the Dough version. It uses the same panel, but has a glossy coating.
@@ZorzGaming yeah Dough is a sub brand of Spectrum. They are actually selling the monitor for $720 rn, but there is one problem. They don't have the best reputation when it comes to drops so idk if it's worth putting money done for one yet. They do have user upgradable firmware tho.
hey zorz , going from og g7 to lg oled 27 , do you think the upgrade is noticeable ? i only play mmorpgs and some casual OW2 on the side , i wouldve went for the alienware but anything higher than 27inch is a no for me.
Oké thx for the explanation about hdmi 2.1 for better colour then display port 1.4, but how does it work? Can't you get 10 bit 240hz hdr at the lg? And what would u recommend coming from a 1440p ips 27 inch screen, I play mostly fps shooters, is the alienware looking great at 16:9 resolution in games 27 inch, because playing 34 inch fps is to big for me but would love to play some single players games wide screen
What about the OLED Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDM? It has a heatsink (very important not to burn in) and have an uniform fixed local dimming (perfect for reading or productivity as the dimming don't change according to the white folders sizes on Windows p.e). The big con is that the ASUS has HDMI 2.0.
@@ZorzGaming I know...I want to use a monitor for productivity and studying too apart from gaming on my Series X and PS5. I know I would not experience the 240 hz but I dont care as it's the first OLED monitor of 27 inches (uses the same panel as the LG). The LG OLED you told me here on a reply comment from another video that it's not good at all for productivity (apart from not having a heatsink), but it has HDMI 2.1. The PS5 can't do VRR without HDMI 2.1 (although some people told me that a very few HDMI 2.0 displays can), Xbox Series can do it with HDMI 2.0 as they use AMD Freesync so no problem there. I don't know what to do tbh. Maybe waiting for next year? I'm currently using the 2015 1080p 60 hz VA Benq EW2440 and it's pretty old and does not run so well now...the IPS are not so for me because the lack of deep blacks, that's why OLED and VA are perfect, but a good future proof VA monitor is almost as expensive here in Spain as these new OLEDs, or are curved (don't like that), so...
@@poltergeist7621 I'd wait as the LG for productivity and studying will be a disaster. I think the msi 34 has hdmi 2.1 so you can do everything on it but its ugly as sin and not as well built. Thank you for watching!
Hello ! How are you ? I wanna ask you is alienware aw3423dwf compatible to nvidia graphic card ? Becouse I have rtx 4080 super If it is i love to buy one 😊
Best video ever. The comment about no money, but have credit cards did hit hard ngl😵. Btw doesn't lg27" only has mla without the meta booster/brightness algorithm? - that one is only on the tvs, I guess lg was scared of burn in. Also, while maybe I'm not a pro, I still have to say the motion picture clarity is worth it just as a quality of life and experience improvement. The choices are so hard, especially since I don't even know if I would like curved UW, and that both of these are really expensive so you really don't want to make the wrong choice - in my country you can't return stuff just 'cuz, so you are conflicted with two though choices that you really don't want to screw up. Especially since you just know the resale value is gonna be near 0 since people would be scared of buying an oled panel due to the organic nature of it. Also wth doesn't lg offer burn in warranty? What's going on here with that. There's also the asus pg27aqdm, they have about 33% boost over LG's at 100% apl (190 vs 245nit) and around +200 nits at some hdr small window size, buut - no hdmi 2.1 again. It's just a mess rnow. I'm almost thinking of just waiting it out, since I already know many many many people have reported burn ins on the alien ware, and the warranty gives you less than perfect replacements. And on the LG's and asus end - you have no clue about the warranty. Sure, woled is great on tvs - I'd know. I have c1, but still, I don't display a hud for 10000 hours on it... What we need is some hacker to put in BFI in these firmwares somehow. I know 50% brightness isn't great for everything, but having the option for some games would be so good. The c1 BFI is amazing, I want that on the 240hz.
Thank you!! Really Appreciate it! It's also true I'm quite broke and in insane debt... need to start a Patreon. Oh ok... It's possible META isn't on the LG... So many pros and cons for monitors these days. Honestly I'd wait... The new MSI does have hdmi 2.1 but its ugly as sin... We need a 240hz qd oled thats bright with BFI. That would be ZORZ! Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate it!
@@ZorzGaming psst.. Dont forget Glossy 😎. Also curious if they have the nits boosted like the asus has(30% is quite significant in my books), since they said their heatsink is only 5% more effective in reducing the temperatures, I think asus is just not as conservative for the panel life. Oh the ugliness is real, just gimme a basic monitor guys pls. How hard is it
Have you tried the 42” C2? I’d be interested in your comparison between the C2 and the Alien. I personally found 34” UW somewhat limiting in terms of screen height and resolution. After about a year I sold my LG 34GN850 and switched back to 32” 4K (Gigabyte M32U). My consoles are connected to a 77” OLED so going back to my PC monitor’s lousy contrast and lack of HDR is always a pain. Good video BTW - both informative and entertaining 👍
Thank you so much! I went into a best buy the other day and saw it! The coating is great. We need that coating on a 34 or maybe 36 wide screen 360hz with BFI oled with Display port 2.0... One day :).
I had the opportunity to use LG C2 42" before I finally decided to switch to Alienware AW3423DW. What convinced me about LG is the ability to use it in 16:9 and 21:9 aspect ratios, which I love depending on use. This is my first OLED monitor and I was a bit disappointed with the colors after switching from QLED, which were natural but not as vivid as I expected, the brightness was also too low and this was mainly the biggest problem ABL was visible and too aggressive for me, readability of fonts also left a lot to be desired and as I was determined to cover the glossy here literally everything was reflected including even my glowing keyboard. Alienware fixed all these problems only legibility of small fonts although it is better is still not perfect due to still non-standard pixel distribution. Highlights in HDR are really bright and make a lot more impression and colors are much more saturated, but still natural. LG C2 is a better choice for mixed usage and when you have consoles or you are not a fan of ultrawide and you don't mind using 42" for all the time. Otherwise, it's better to pay extra for Alienware or wait for new versions of QD-OLED V2, this is what I would probably do.
im coming from LG C2 OLED 42 Monitor.. i was so hype for AlienwareAW3423Dw.. last week it arrived.. now i send it back.. i was testing 34 inch for 1,5 hours.. and i send him back, next week.. i dont know why this Monitor is so overhyped.. speechless. But Nice Video :-)
Great review, analysis and style! I’m only missing what the fps drop typically would be for going widescreen, I’m considering going down this path but its a huge tradeoff for me to go down on fps…
Thank you and welcome to the Zorz Nation. Mathematically you can kinda calculate the percentage on increased pixels - however you only need to really hit 165 frames with the Alienware as well :)
I just bought the Alienware purely based off your review- I’m not an aspiring FPS pro (no need for mustard sauce on my panel) I just love gorgeous gaming ❤
@@MayoRopeRusty Well I certainly hope you love it! I must recommend super highly doing the 157hz 10 bit custom resolution, doing the color calibration, and then kicking major ass and staying Zorz! Also - I agree mustard belongs on a sandwich :).
Cant wait for you to see and buy this monitor with BFI. Asus PG34WCDM 34-inch OLED monitor with MLA panel, 240Hz refresh rate & 120Hz BFI (black frame insertion
personally went with the lg (arrives tomorrow!) dont think the matte coating will be an issue since im coming from a zowie xl2546k, and same with the lg brightness since i use 30% brightness
Zorz. If the ultrawide was 240hz would you consider it good enough for competitive gaming? I'm debating on switching to the new 360hz alienware oled 27 inch. I'm competitive in league and halo infinite. Just wondering if its actually worth going back to 16:9 or getting a higher refresh rate ultrawide in the future.
@ZorzGaming I just got the AW2724HF today to test and see how 360hz feels. Oleds having basically zero ghosting makes 165hz feel a lot better than i expected comparing the two. Enjoy! I'm definitely looking forward to testing that monitor myself. Or waiting it out for a 360hz ultrawide q oled. I think 360hz is definitely much more beneficial to mouse and keyboard players on fps games. I use controller so 165hz vs 360hz is a lot harder to perceive.
@ZorzGaming I'm testiing the ips 360hz* compared to my AW3423DWF. I do get much more eye strain on qd oleds though. I've been reading the AW2725DF is even worse. Just gotta lower the blue light.
New firmware update on the dwf dropped June 5th that significantly improves eotf tracking and makes the hdr 1000 mode much more useable without tweaking any settings such as contrast.
I had the Alienware and unfortunately it had extreme coil whine! That's why he went back. The LG is coming tomorrow. This should have a loud fan for this. How is it with you? Would only take it for PS5 and Series X, so HDMI 2.1 is important otherwise there is no VRR on PS5. A great review!
I hear you! you had coil whine on the dwf model? interesting... I haven't heard anything. Yah HDMI is so good. Might wanna check out the MSI 175 34 inch wide. Ugly as sin but 175 hz with 10bit with hdmi 2.1! Thanks for watching!
@@ZorzGaming I was able to test the LG for a short time. fantastic and very fluid image. I only use the fan when it's quiet. otherwise the PS5 or Xbox will be louder. the picture is awesome. will test something 🙂 Thx for your answer!
You have more information on the Alienware AW3423DWF about calibration of the screen and other resources that would help me make get this monitor and tune it to how I want it. But can you give me advice on whether there is a way to minimise or eliminate burn-in because I do watch TH-cam Videos, use Microsoft Office a lot especially Word and Excel, read fanfictions on various websites that uses a lot of static white backgrounds (I think) and windows taskbar I can have it disappear when I upgrade my OS windows 7 to windows 11.
So to get the custom resolution 157 hz to work, you have to use Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) program? You can't set the values in Nvidia control panel to make it work?
If you're playing to win neither. If you want the most versatile gorgeous amazing single player/ mildy competitive monitor the 34 inch Oled 165 is the choice in my opinion!
My gut feeling is to hold out for a gen 2 of the 27" lg with better brightness and inbuilt buttons... needing a remote for a monitor is such a boneheaded design choice.
Hey, Does your windows show HDR True Black certificate? when i havigate to System>Dysplay>Advanced display it shows to me HDR certification not found. I saw other people has that True Black certificate
as a sensitive person, this wasn't my favorite operation tbh.. but now after 3 weeks it feels normal. it's weird how it works, but it's great now@@ZorzGaming
Gawd damn I had to watch 6+ hours of monitor reviews to find you. Pumped to the gills with technical specs. But now I'm armed with your countless hours of reddit research (but seriously your reddit rabbit hole offered a unique take( based on 6+ hours of Tuber monitor reviews)). If I may quote Trump, it's tremendous.
@Zorz Gaming in the impression world Trump is a harder one. Instead I leave you with the equivalent zoomer impressions I can do... OMG most underrated TH-camr ever. The only tech channel I will ever watch from now on. I didn't understand the ending though Lolz. (Actually Really liked the ending) *Italian chef kiss thingy?
I am experiencing lot of eye strain and headache from this monitor. Just got it couple days ago. When I take a video of the screen in slow mo it shows that its flickering even tho the naked eye cant see it. Will my eyes be adjusted to this? is there a fix?
Looks like we're waiting for next gen QD-OLED. Samsung had a bunch of monitors at CES with the new panel. 240hz with the new panel. Few (more) months? Ya boy been waiting for years with a 165 IPS and nothing has got it quite right. Please help
@ZorzGaming i spoke to dell about the overclocking thing and they said that they'd try and implement something that might help in a futureupdate so you won't need software to get the 10 bit 157 hz
@ZorzGaming they said they'd send me an email once it was made into an update + if you do it yourself they way you did it, it will not void your warranty in any way
I don’t understand. I’m a xxxxing senior citizen and I just don’t understand. I read and watch Zorz Gaming because it is cool. I would like to humbly recommend some improvements. 1. Have an option that lets Zorz make decisions for you, and tells you what to buy. So that your life is “Decision Free.” 2. Have a place somewhere on line where Zorz devotees can meet and mingle. (Including seniors). 3. A phone number to call and have private consultations conversations for a reasonable fee. Based on your very educated opinion I now own 7 excellent monitors ($5,487) but I don’t think I need that many. Now I want to buy the new Alienware and think about buying the 47” one. The chubby young girl who lives across the street and two doors down from me helps me with my IT but doesn’t know anything about money. I wish there was a way Zorz could be more involved in my life. Thank you and Zorz forever.
Aren’t we! Love your take on it too and your studio. We really should be consulted with for everything. Have a few pc gamers at nasa on the next space ship and watch how much better it is!
I hear that its possible now. I got 157 to work, which is close enough. It's awesome. Great Value. The only way to get noticeably better is the 240hz new Asus but its 1500 bucks.
Bro, imagine you have to spend the next 3 months without leaving your home and you're forced to play/game a minimum of 6 hours per day. Like a crazy experiment, and you can choose only 5 games in total to play. Which monitor do you choose? 🤯
The Alienware. I don't need to compete at the max level and if I did I might go with one of the other two I mentioned... But also the real question is... What 5 games :)?
Hey ! The new firmware update completely fixed the hdr problems (the raised brightness across the whole eotf range) now it's exactly the same as the AW3423DW !! so no reason to take the DW over the DWF now !!
Apparently they did the test of the Alienware dw with gsync on so the latency is not as high with gsync off, + like you said HdR mode and tue black / Color is more accurate on the dw. Then again most gamers don't care so the 300$ mark up is basically if you want the slightly better monitor that you might not even notice unless you are testing it with pro hardware. My only concern is burn in. With the new oled monitors around the corner that will introduce heatsinks, i am waiting to pull the trigger. Maybe 2nd or 3rd gen oled monitors with Heatsink will change that, i need 240hz min with 2x HDMI 2.1. BTw great Review Mr Zorz and rhanks for the tools
Thank you so much!!! Honestly I’m kinda with you. I want the 34 inch. Elite glossy coating. Widescreen option. 240. Hdmi. With the bfi and almost no chance of burn in. Waiting is a fine idea!
wait really? "They" being Rtings? is testing only with g-sync on is a thing or a mistake/oversight on their part for that one review? I haven't seen a specification about that... unless I missed that when checking it... Sounds a lot like something I would do tbh lol
I was thinking of getting one of these monitors, do you think it's better to wait for the 2nd gen of OLED monitors to release? And when do you think they would release?
@@xFrxsty #1 it's always better to wait for 2nd to 3rd gen #2 how bad do you need a new monitor for ? #3 you will do whatever you want even if i give you my advice. Do you mane
I want to be ZORZ.... that being said I turned ZORG and bought a 43" Phillips 5756/F7 for $182 shipped. Bought a Huanuo arm for $39 shipped and I have FOUR 21.5" 1080p equivalent displays without any borders.

Haha Zorz!! I truly and desperately want to make an intro that does the quick cuts closer and closer to the building except it’s Zorz :). So you bought that junk? “I am VERY DISAPPOINTED!” *Boooom*
I don't think anyone is gonna have problems being competitive with the ultrawide considering it has pixel response on par with 240hz ips/VA and input lag on par with the asus 360hz. Difference is smoothness and that difference is hardly noticeable.
YOOOOOOOOO MY HOMIE WITH THE ZORZIE SHOUTOUT!!
To answer your question in the vid title, definitely Zorz.
I'm in too deep now, man... I couldn't leave if I wanted to 🥲. I live here now.
I see you've been working on some things... Don't worry, I see you I see you ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I have so many things to say lol goddammit XD.
The editing, just the general timing between cuts, the music and the drama and the pauses lol.
We can feel the extra polishing and the attention you brought to details and fluidity/flow of it all. It's not overdone either, like it's not too much or anything. Good stuff!!!
You've done homework or something? It was always good so far, but this is like next-level? Am I crazy? Anyone?👀
AND THE RESEARCH.... Everything is super in-depth and yet worded in a way that's easy to follow. You're nailing it on this point again.
That's it. We're there boys. This is the promised land isn't it? ..... Like I said, I live here now.
So......... the HDMI2.0 actually IS a limitation in the end... We were kinda questioning this during the unboxing video but never really investigated more...
Welp, that's a shame. I guess a lot of monitors will start having those better ports soon anyway, but sad they didn't jump on the occasion for this one.
Still overall looks awesome, like you said it can be really cool for immersion if you don't need the performance edge!
Seeing those two monitors side by side and directy compared is also something I believe quite a few of us were requesting.
The only question I have left is about the audio outputs... like... are those even decent? Rtings does have a quick description/mention but it's really basic info...
Obviously I wouldn't expect a big deal, and I can't really blame you for not getting into yet another complicated subject lol.... since most people that really care about that have dedicated DACs and AMPs anyway... Would prolly not be worth it.
but I am quite curious to know if they sound any good, by principle of knowing how the money I give them is being used lol, if anything.
That and how input lag would compare between the monitors, but Rtings usually covers that in detail so I can go there for that.
Side-side topic; APPARENTLY, some people actually mod their monitors, like remove the frame, then put a bunch of wet scott towels on the screen, leave for like 3-5 hours, and then PEEL OFF the matt coating from their monitors !?!
Looks like you could potentially risk doing it too fast or wrong and it could damage the polarization layer... but when done carefully you can turn any matte/anti-glare coating into a glossy screen... I'm not sure if it would be possible to have a glass made for it to protect it once the coating is removed though, you probably wouldn't want to even risk scratches with the softest cloth... but isn't that nuts?
Anyway, thought that was interesting enough to be worthy of bringing to your attention.
BUT YEAH, back to topic. it's crazy good content man. Keep it up!!
but...... Don't skip on fun times though lol, right? Take time for that at least, for your own sake.... (and theirs lol, whoever they may be). If you're going to be your own boss, the least you can do for yourself is not to burn yourself out! The zorzies have needs too dood, we'll understand if it's a bit later than we would expect ahah.
And I'm glad to be here too man, btw. Not only that, I'm proud to be!
LET IT BE KNOWN, I WAS HERE !!! OG ZORZIE 😎
omg I need a shirt that says that, now..
Alright enough, lemme get out of here before I create myself more needs with good ideas like this lol
Edit: btw ZorzDad seems so cool! How awesome af is it that you make him part of your thing?? I’m kinda jelly lol, but I like that. Such good vibes, too
For sure! Furious Banana for life! I will get you a one of one shirt when I get big that says that. You live here now! Sorry I skipped the audio. I feel like audio is just a path I don’t even want to wrap my head around or else I’ll be going nuts researching the audio chips in the monitors and anyone serious already has hardware for that but I’ll try on the next one.
Thank you so much for acknowledging the effort and timing and music and editing that went into this. It took me like 40 hours or more with the research.
I have a lot of other videos half filmed. They won’t be quite as good but I think I should get them out. They’ll still be decent…
People really do that?!! Wow. That’s ballsie. Right now I’m so broke that I won’t be able to risk it I don’t think. I might start a Patreon… for real..
Also - my Dad was truly elite in infinite ways and he loved games more than me. Didn’t need the best gear cause he loved the games. He played with a basilisk. It’s still on his desk. I miss him always. He would stole this thing from me and would be up all night playing Diablo 4 while staying Zorz.
@@ZorzGaming don’t worry about the audio, I was particularly curious about these monitors due to the small effort they did implementing extras on them, and nobody really seems to go in depth about those, but like you said people that really care have other external setups.
And yeah, people actually do that lol. I’ve seen quite a few people saying they’re glad they went through with the mod, but you’re right that its very ballsy with expensive ones like that. If you’re curious, you can see an exemple being done on Tom Kos GIY’s channel, named like “how to remove coating from monitor” or something like that.
Video is far from being on the quality level of the things you’ve brought to us lately, tbh I didn’t really look into his channel that much, but it gives a good idea, and there’s a bunch of comments discussing experiences etc.
Maybe next time you upgrade screens and have a spare one, if you have nothing else going on, you could give that a shot for content lol. Or when you become famous and have too much time and money to spare (should be a few months right?)…
@@theREALfuriousbanana A few months? I certainly hope so. I wont be able to continue to be purchasing things basically now. I'll need the love and support of the community and getting to 10k subs as quick as possible. I would love to do that coating shit.... let me see if I have the courage...

Raven giving a professional monitor review. Hell yeah!! I'm legit coming from a CRT. I'm that guy. So me changing monitors is a big thing. I got the AW3423AWF & G8 OLED. I returned the AW3423AWF only because of minor things. Same panel. But the G8 has a slimmer design, remote control and HDMI 2.1. I can play 175hz @ 12bit. Even with DP. I got 175hz @ 10bit. The colors and vividness are so much better on the G8.. side by side with the same game.
Good review and lots of useful information 👍
So basically the G8 Oled has hdmi 2.1... wow... That means the insane colors of the LG oled with 12 bit and 175 hz? Holy shit.
Dude is by now a certified doctor of monitor magic research. Really neat video...still haven't decided which OLED to pick, gonna keep thinking and wait a little
If you have the time then just chill. Wait a bit. What games do you play? That really will decide it. So far no one has made the dream monitor yet. And thank you!!
Leave it to Zorz to turn down sex and write a master's thesis on a monitor. The level of research on this is crazy. Well worth the wait for the review. Cheers. This is truly zorz, Zorz.
Gotta have priorities in life ya know? Thank you so much for the comment Swing! You are Zorz and always have been!
Half an hour of straight dope! Awesome stuff man.
Hi man, I really wanted to thank you for this review. I haven't seen anything that goes so in depth, and it helped me decide to get the Alienware! Really happy with it, even more happy with the 157hz 10-Bit trick. I can't believe nobody else took that in their review. ZORZ NATION! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you brother! Really appreciate it! I just got the 360hz Oled and am working on a video now for it!

You can’t teach personality they say and Your content and sense of humour is fantastic.
All the best - cheers
You've got me tearing up over here. Thank you so much! Welcome to the Zorz Family!!!
Fantastic review. Such a bummer the Alienware does not have 2.1. The mustard finish on the LG prevents me from purchasing that as well. In the end, it looks like I'll be using my acer predator for another year or two.
Thank you!! Give it another year I'd say but you're only losing 18 hertz without the 2.1. If there was a 240 34 widescreen glossy hdmi 2.1 with BFI! That would be the ticket. Thank you so much and welcome to Zorz Nation!

Fantastic review. Can you tell me if you are still using the 157 Hz 10-bit setting, or is the 165 Hz 10-bit setting viable? Based on various Reddit threads and your video, people are saying the 165 Hz 10-bit setting is not true 10-bit but rather just a UI configuration. What are your feelings on this? Have you tested it?

Hi Zorz Gaming. I've just subscribed to you and liked this video. I want to know which OLED has a glossy coat finish for PC.
Thanks Dude! The Alienware has the glossy finish. The Samsung I also believe has the Glossy finish and there is a new one from a new company called Dough.

sRGB and DCI-P3 are SDR picture presets. The HDR modes use their own colorspace settings. HDR maps to sRGB when in windows desktop or showing SDR content.
Interesting. I tested all 6 on Doom and they all looked different in game…. More to learn thank you!!
@@ZorzGaming That's because each picture preset (SDR and HDR) could be calibrated differently. And for HDR mode in Windows 11, the sRGB tone mapping is handled (poorly) by Windows.
The two most accurate modes are SDR "Creator -> sRGB" and "Creator -> DCI-P3" as those two modes were factory calibrated. True Black 400 is decent for HDR content and EOTF tracks pretty well. For HDR 1000, there are still some issues with EOTF tracking which was not fixed in the recent firmware update.
If you want ACCURATE modes, use sRGB when using general Windows desktop apps. Switch to HDR True Black (with contrast dropped to 67) when you want to play an HDR game or video. You could use DCI-P3 for SDR use but you will get oversaturated color...of course, some people like that effect.
That’s exactly what I found. I like the dci-p3 with the clamp. Feels the most … appealing to me ;). Thank you for watching!
@@Creelick67 for true black do you have to do 67% contrast? I thought that was just a fix for hdr peak. I've been running mine 75% true black with Windows 11 hdr calibration and looks great.
@@adamt4181 I haven't measured with my meter but I did find both modes benefited from dropping contrast a bit. Not sure what's going on...hopefully Dell figures it out.
Defintely an underrated channel. Keep it going man. You have the it factor to go as far as you want. Im going with the lg instead of the dell oled. Hope its a good move.

Me jumping from 16:9 to Ultra wide 21:9 was another different level , Now adding features like Oled + HDR makes Makes Another level to another Dimension for sure.
Another Level. Another Dimension. Another reason to live!
I'm of the belief that all OLED is beautiful (and I just prefer 16:9), so I went with the LG. But I would honestly be more than happy with either as I've been dreaming of having an OLED gaming monitor ever since I first used an OLED phone 6 years ago. I just want BFI in my LG so bad that I could pay for it. If LG came out with paid DLC for this monitor that included BFI, I would no joke pay for it.
Also, what is the game you're playing at 31:00?
So would I no doubt! It's called Scathe - an Old school boomer shooter roguelike. It's not terrible. Thanks for watching!
Hey Zorz thanks for the review and sorry for my English.
I’m new to the PC gaming world and coming from ps5 with a QD Oled in my living room and currently I have a 4080 paired with an Alienware 2723df IPS and I wasn’t impressed at all. The big concern I have right now to replace my 2723df and change it between this LG Oled and alienware Qd oled and which one to choose. I would do some Home office work and also planing to play some games like Star Wars Survivor, starfield ( in the future ) Baldurs Gate, Diablo 4 and RDR 2 etc. and was wondering which one you would recommend to me?
PD: I have never tried an 21:9 screen 🙂.
If you watch the whole thing I tell you almost everything I can think of. The only reason to get the LG is if you want faster. Sounds like you aren't playing ANY games that are super fast fps games so Alienware Wins for sure. Thanks for watching! Welcome to the Zorz Family!
I don’t understand. I’m a xxxxing senior citizen and I just don’t understand. I read and watch Zorz Gaming because it is cool. I would like to humbly recommend some improvements. 1. Have an option that lets Zorz make decisions for you, and tells you what to buy. So that your life is “Decision Free.” 2. Have a place somewhere on line where Zorz devotees can meet and mingle. (Including seniors). 3. A phone number to call and have private consultations conversations for a reasonable fee. Based on your very educated opinion I now own 7 excellent monitors ($5,487) but I don’t think I need that many. Now I want to buy the new Alienware and think about buying the 47” one. The chubby young girl who lives across the street and two doors down from me helps me with my IT but doesn’t know anything about money. I wish there was a way Zorz could be more involved in my life. Thank you and Zorz forever.
We will be having our first annual Zorz shindig and seniors get in for free. Bring everyone! I hope you’re enjoying some game on all those high end monitors! Love you Sal!
Sal brings a really good point.
It might not be too complicated to get a Zorz Discord or something. I'm sure some people would be happy to volunteer as moderator(s), and help setting some discussion, information, zorz-growth, or even help channels for people in need like Sal. Create a feed that automatically announces new videos, maybe do events, you could ocasionally stream and chill with the Zorzies and stuff, for occasions or whatever, accept some donations while at it lol, etc..
Might help the Zorz community to grow and become more engaged, and even give you a bit of additional easy or free visibility? Might not even require much work at all, if you have good supporters 🤔
@@theREALfuriousbanana Perhaps I can count on you :) . Discord stuff all new territory :) but I'm definitely down and will start researching it! Certainly guys like Sal need help even though he is the absolute epitome of Zorz!
@@ZorzGaming if i had more time i would be super happy to dedicate part of my schedule for that, but I have no modding experience myself, and a full-time job that requires overtime a lot, so I’d be super unreliable…
i could create some threads and maybe look into a few bots, pop in from time to time etc, but we’d probably learning how those things work at the same time lol. I’ve been on discord for a long time so I know a few things that can be done, and some ideas that could be nice to have on there, but I have more general user knowledge than chanel management knowledge, so i’d have to look into how to set them up.
Aand you’d probably eventually need more dependable people to cover more times, especially if it starts being busy at some point. But maybe at that point it would be easier to find people, as the zorz comunity grows.
I’ll join for sure if you create it though, i just cant promise that i’ll be super useful or that I’ll consistently have a lot of time to put into it. We’ll just have to see where it leads us lol, but I’m down if you have no better option and dont feel like looking into starting all that alone. We could set up a time, look at options, and see how feasable/worth it could be. Who knows where it could lead… doesn’t cost anything to try but a bit of time!
@@theREALfuriousbanana Thank you my friend! I'm looking into it!
For me, I was debating getting the LG OLED or the XL2566K. In the end, I decided I want the XL2566K. Can't wait for that review.
Also, if you do end up keeping the LG, or really like it, check out the Dough version. It uses the same panel, but has a glossy coating.
The what version??? The Dough version? Omg I’ll have to check that out. XL2566k in a whole different category for real Killas. Reviewing coming soon!
@@ZorzGaming yeah Dough is a sub brand of Spectrum. They are actually selling the monitor for $720 rn, but there is one problem. They don't have the best reputation when it comes to drops so idk if it's worth putting money done for one yet. They do have user upgradable firmware tho.
@@PapaJuan Researching it now. And I'm typing this on the XL2566k.
Great Review. I like your style of doing Videos and wish you success for the channel.
Thanks for joining the Zorz Nation dude! Appreciate it!
hey zorz , going from og g7 to lg oled 27 , do you think the upgrade is noticeable ? i only play mmorpgs and some casual OW2 on the side , i wouldve went for the alienware but anything higher than 27inch is a no for me.
Why is bigger than 27 inch a no? For the games you're talking about the Alienware would be the right choice...
Not gonna lie, as a DWF owner that yellow panel health light kinda triggered me. Great Vid
I know right? Like ... Homie don't play with me! Thank you for joining the Nation of Zorz!
Oké thx for the explanation about hdmi 2.1 for better colour then display port 1.4, but how does it work? Can't you get 10 bit 240hz hdr at the lg?
And what would u recommend coming from a 1440p ips 27 inch screen, I play mostly fps shooters, is the alienware looking great at 16:9 resolution in games 27 inch, because playing 34 inch fps is to big for me but would love to play some single players games wide screen
IT uses HDMI 2.1A on both the monitor and the card! I think 27 inch 1440 is fine. Widescreen i think you gotta be more for fun than competition.
Very good video, really appreciate it!
Your microphone doesn't quite match the production quality of the rest of the video. :D
Thank you! Sound isn’t my speciality I need to learn with that … need a teacher. A Guru …. Hmmm
What about the OLED Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDM? It has a heatsink (very important not to burn in) and have an uniform fixed local dimming (perfect for reading or productivity as the dimming don't change according to the white folders sizes on Windows p.e). The big con is that the ASUS has HDMI 2.0.
It’s a huge con unfortunately. But I like the Pros….
@@ZorzGaming I know...I want to use a monitor for productivity and studying too apart from gaming on my Series X and PS5. I know I would not experience the 240 hz but I dont care as it's the first OLED monitor of 27 inches (uses the same panel as the LG). The LG OLED you told me here on a reply comment from another video that it's not good at all for productivity (apart from not having a heatsink), but it has HDMI 2.1. The PS5 can't do VRR without HDMI 2.1 (although some people told me that a very few HDMI 2.0 displays can), Xbox Series can do it with HDMI 2.0 as they use AMD Freesync so no problem there. I don't know what to do tbh. Maybe waiting for next year?
I'm currently using the 2015 1080p 60 hz VA Benq EW2440 and it's pretty old and does not run so well now...the IPS are not so for me because the lack of deep blacks, that's why OLED and VA are perfect, but a good future proof VA monitor is almost as expensive here in Spain as these new OLEDs, or are curved (don't like that), so...
@@poltergeist7621 I'd wait as the LG for productivity and studying will be a disaster. I think the msi 34 has hdmi 2.1 so you can do everything on it but its ugly as sin and not as well built. Thank you for watching!
Hello !
How are you ?
I wanna ask you is alienware aw3423dwf compatible to nvidia graphic card ?
Becouse I have rtx 4080 super
If it is i love to buy one 😊
Oled would be best for competitive fighting games since they cap out at 60fps right?
Very very interesting point. I want to say yes but my fighting game experience is minimal. Thanks for watching!
Best video ever. The comment about no money, but have credit cards did hit hard ngl😵.
Btw doesn't lg27" only has mla without the meta booster/brightness algorithm? - that one is only on the tvs, I guess lg was scared of burn in.
Also, while maybe I'm not a pro, I still have to say the motion picture clarity is worth it just as a quality of life and experience improvement.
The choices are so hard, especially since I don't even know if I would like curved UW, and that both of these are really expensive so you really don't want to make the wrong choice - in my country you can't return stuff just 'cuz, so you are conflicted with two though choices that you really don't want to screw up. Especially since you just know the resale value is gonna be near 0 since people would be scared of buying an oled panel due to the organic nature of it.
Also wth doesn't lg offer burn in warranty? What's going on here with that.
There's also the asus pg27aqdm, they have about 33% boost over LG's at 100% apl (190 vs 245nit) and around +200 nits at some hdr small window size, buut - no hdmi 2.1 again.
It's just a mess rnow. I'm almost thinking of just waiting it out, since I already know many many many people have reported burn ins on the alien ware, and the warranty gives you less than perfect replacements. And on the LG's and asus end - you have no clue about the warranty. Sure, woled is great on tvs - I'd know. I have c1, but still, I don't display a hud for 10000 hours on it...
What we need is some hacker to put in BFI in these firmwares somehow. I know 50% brightness isn't great for everything, but having the option for some games would be so good. The c1 BFI is amazing, I want that on the 240hz.
Thank you!! Really Appreciate it! It's also true I'm quite broke and in insane debt... need to start a Patreon. Oh ok... It's possible META isn't on the LG... So many pros and cons for monitors these days. Honestly I'd wait... The new MSI does have hdmi 2.1 but its ugly as sin... We need a 240hz qd oled thats bright with BFI. That would be ZORZ! Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate it!
@@ZorzGaming psst.. Dont forget Glossy 😎. Also curious if they have the nits boosted like the asus has(30% is quite significant in my books), since they said their heatsink is only 5% more effective in reducing the temperatures, I think asus is just not as conservative for the panel life.
Oh the ugliness is real, just gimme a basic monitor guys pls. How hard is it

Sorry for the delay! Please enjoy and stay Zorz!
Have you tried the 42” C2? I’d be interested in your comparison between the C2 and the Alien. I personally found 34” UW somewhat limiting in terms of screen height and resolution. After about a year I sold my LG 34GN850 and switched back to 32” 4K (Gigabyte M32U). My consoles are connected to a 77” OLED so going back to my PC monitor’s lousy contrast and lack of HDR is always a pain. Good video BTW - both informative and entertaining 👍
Thank you so much! I went into a best buy the other day and saw it! The coating is great. We need that coating on a 34 or maybe 36 wide screen 360hz with BFI oled with Display port 2.0... One day :).
I too would love to hear your opinion of C2 vs alienware QD oled.
@@dman7668 I don't have a C2 - But I would love to get one!
I had the opportunity to use LG C2 42" before I finally decided to switch to Alienware AW3423DW. What convinced me about LG is the ability to use it in 16:9 and 21:9 aspect ratios, which I love depending on use. This is my first OLED monitor and I was a bit disappointed with the colors after switching from QLED, which were natural but not as vivid as I expected, the brightness was also too low and this was mainly the biggest problem ABL was visible and too aggressive for me, readability of fonts also left a lot to be desired and as I was determined to cover the glossy here literally everything was reflected including even my glowing keyboard. Alienware fixed all these problems only legibility of small fonts although it is better is still not perfect due to still non-standard pixel distribution. Highlights in HDR are really bright and make a lot more impression and colors are much more saturated, but still natural. LG C2 is a better choice for mixed usage and when you have consoles or you are not a fan of ultrawide and you don't mind using 42" for all the time. Otherwise, it's better to pay extra for Alienware or wait for new versions of QD-OLED V2, this is what I would probably do.
@@LukaMono Literally said basically exactly what I think too!
im coming from LG C2 OLED 42 Monitor.. i was so hype for AlienwareAW3423Dw.. last week it arrived.. now i send it back.. i was testing 34 inch for 1,5 hours.. and i send him back, next week.. i dont know why this Monitor is so overhyped.. speechless. But Nice Video :-)
Thank you! I hear the 42 c2 is a wonderful piece of equipment if you don’t mind the limitations. Thank you for watching!!
Did you prefer c2 over alienware and why?
@@dman7668 I need to borrow my friends...
I don't understand why all the Reviews are like that ? So analytical and explained most of questions real users have.
i like you channel very honest and helpful
Thank you very much! Stay Zorz!
Great review, analysis and style! I’m only missing what the fps drop typically would be for going widescreen, I’m considering going down this path but its a huge tradeoff for me to go down on fps…
Thank you and welcome to the Zorz Nation. Mathematically you can kinda calculate the percentage on increased pixels - however you only need to really hit 165 frames with the Alienware as well :)
Ok, I subscribed!
Thank you! I subscribed back! Keep making videos dude! AAA and LordGurciullo! That’s a Zorz Combo ;)!
Should I understand that LG C2 stands no chance against these 2 monitors? For only PC gaming.
Get the LG 34GS95QE, 240hz over the 165hz on the AW3423DWF is a game changer.
Dude, thank you so much for this
Thank you so much for watching!! Stay Zorz!
What is better?
great review once again man!
Thank you my Zorz brother!
Awesome video bro!
Dude thank you so much! Love having you in the Zorz Family!
Great vid man- looks like it’s gonna take another 10-12 months for the PERFECT OLED
Thank you! Michael Bolton!? Love your work man! and yes that's about right!
I just bought the Alienware purely based off your review- I’m not an aspiring FPS pro (no need for mustard sauce on my panel) I just love gorgeous gaming ❤
@@MayoRopeRusty Well I certainly hope you love it! I must recommend super highly doing the 157hz 10 bit custom resolution, doing the color calibration, and then kicking major ass and staying Zorz! Also - I agree mustard belongs on a sandwich :).
If you had to pick just 1 which would it be between the 2?
I picked up the Alienware on your recommendation. Very Zorz so far.
Thank you! It's a gorgeous piece of machinery!
Is this still a pretty competitive gaming monitor over a 240hz?
Its close enough to 240 but its not super competitive. The LG wasn't so much more competitive to justify getting it over the 34 inch Aliewnware.
Cool man you have both I'm happy for you.
Well I’m gonna sell them all when reviews are all done … except my favorites :)
Cant wait for you to see and buy this monitor with BFI.
Asus PG34WCDM 34-inch OLED monitor with MLA panel, 240Hz refresh rate & 120Hz BFI (black frame insertion
Thanks dude! Appreciate the comments! That is the one I had in my cart at Newegg but simply can't afford to even front the 1600 bucks for it!
@@ZorzGaming shoot we need to get you more subs!
@@RaizuYT-vb5sv Yes! Soon!
personally went with the lg (arrives tomorrow!) dont think the matte coating will be an issue since im coming from a zowie xl2546k, and same with the lg brightness since i use 30% brightness
You should be good then! Enjoy! Glad to have you in the Zorz Family!
Zorz. If the ultrawide was 240hz would you consider it good enough for competitive gaming? I'm debating on switching to the new 360hz alienware oled 27 inch. I'm competitive in league and halo infinite. Just wondering if its actually worth going back to 16:9 or getting a higher refresh rate ultrawide in the future.
Were gonna find out cause its sitting in my living room right now!
@ZorzGaming I just got the AW2724HF today to test and see how 360hz feels. Oleds having basically zero ghosting makes 165hz feel a lot better than i expected comparing the two. Enjoy! I'm definitely looking forward to testing that monitor myself. Or waiting it out for a 360hz ultrawide q oled. I think 360hz is definitely much more beneficial to mouse and keyboard players on fps games. I use controller so 165hz vs 360hz is a lot harder to perceive.
@@nickbryant6970 You use a controller!? We gotta fix that dude! What are your thoughts on the 360 Oled. Any Eye Issues?
@ZorzGaming I'm testiing the ips 360hz* compared to my AW3423DWF. I do get much more eye strain on qd oleds though. I've been reading the AW2725DF is even worse. Just gotta lower the blue light.
New firmware update on the dwf dropped June 5th that significantly improves eotf tracking and makes the hdr 1000 mode much more useable without tweaking any settings such as contrast.
Good to know! Cause I've kept this baby!
I had the Alienware and unfortunately it had extreme coil whine! That's why he went back. The LG is coming tomorrow. This should have a loud fan for this. How is it with you? Would only take it for PS5 and Series X, so HDMI 2.1 is important otherwise there is no VRR on PS5. A great review!
I hear you! you had coil whine on the dwf model? interesting... I haven't heard anything. Yah HDMI is so good. Might wanna check out the MSI 175 34 inch wide. Ugly as sin but 175 hz with 10bit with hdmi 2.1! Thanks for watching!
@@ZorzGaming I was able to test the LG for a short time. fantastic and very fluid image. I only use the fan when it's quiet. otherwise the PS5 or Xbox will be louder. the picture is awesome. will test something 🙂
Thx for your answer!
You have more information on the Alienware AW3423DWF about calibration of the screen and other resources that would help me make get this monitor and tune it to how I want it. But can you give me advice on whether there is a way to minimise or eliminate burn-in because I do watch TH-cam Videos, use Microsoft Office a lot especially Word and Excel, read fanfictions on various websites that uses a lot of static white backgrounds (I think) and windows taskbar I can have it disappear when I upgrade my OS windows 7 to windows 11.
Black screen, Take off desktop icons, Hide task bar, but on screensaver with in 4 mins, and turn off monitor in 30 - should be ok!
@@ZorzGaming Thank you. Now I will go and buy this monitor. Plus, go back and watch this video again to go through the steps you mentioned.
So to get the custom resolution 157 hz to work, you have to use Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) program? You can't set the values in Nvidia control panel to make it work?
You can use nvidia!
@@ZorzGaming Thank you for your swift answer, though I can't set the CVT-RB in Nvidia control panel. That is what is making me confused.
@@muSPKwow CVT Reduced Blank is an option
in nvidia
how can the asus oled not have hdmi 2.1...
I know. They should do a recall….
I am currently looking for a monitor and stuck between these two monitors would love everyones feedback on which of theses monitors I should pick up.
If you're playing to win neither. If you want the most versatile gorgeous amazing single player/ mildy competitive monitor the 34 inch Oled 165 is the choice in my opinion!
My gut feeling is to hold out for a gen 2 of the 27" lg with better brightness and inbuilt buttons... needing a remote for a monitor is such a boneheaded design choice.
Agreed should have both options. Also with a Glossy coating would be nice and without the TPC.
@Zorz Gaming is there a way to use a rgb while in 3440 at higher refresh rates than 100
you mean novideo_srgb?
Hey, Does your windows show HDR True Black certificate? when i havigate to System>Dysplay>Advanced display it shows to me HDR certification not found. I saw other people has that True Black certificate

The Alienware. I don't need to compete at the max level and if I did I might go with one of the other two I mentioned... But also the real question is... What 5 games :)?
Where is Zorz?
Hey ! The new firmware update completely fixed the hdr problems (the raised brightness across the whole eotf range) now it's exactly the same as the AW3423DW !! so no reason to take the DW over the DWF now !!
NICE!!! I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Thank you!
@@ZorzGaming happy to help !
Apparently they did the test of the Alienware dw with gsync on so the latency is not as high with gsync off, + like you said HdR mode and tue black / Color is more accurate on the dw. Then again most gamers don't care so the 300$ mark up is basically if you want the slightly better monitor that you might not even notice unless you are testing it with pro hardware. My only concern is burn in. With the new oled monitors around the corner that will introduce heatsinks, i am waiting to pull the trigger. Maybe 2nd or 3rd gen oled monitors with Heatsink will change that, i need 240hz min with 2x HDMI 2.1. BTw great Review Mr Zorz and rhanks for the tools
Thank you so much!!! Honestly I’m kinda with you. I want the 34 inch. Elite glossy coating. Widescreen option. 240. Hdmi. With the bfi and almost no chance of burn in. Waiting is a fine idea!
wait really? "They" being Rtings? is testing only with g-sync on is a thing or a mistake/oversight on their part for that one review?
I haven't seen a specification about that... unless I missed that when checking it... Sounds a lot like something I would do tbh lol
@@theREALfuriousbanana it was monitor unboxed and I think they forgot. People were asking in the comment section to redo a test with gsync off
