- Brighter, Better and No ABL - LG 27GS95QE w-OLED GEN 3 First Impressions
LG has released a New 2024 Successor to the 2023 LG 27GR95QE. Introducing the New LG 27GS95QE w-OLED GEN 3 Gaming Monitor with so many New and improved features it truly makes it a real upgrade. We have here a New Gen 3 w-OLED panel that allows the typical brightness to reach a max of 30%+ in SDR & HDR vs the older panel.
Today I have an Unboxing and first impressions of this gaming monitor. I also show Daytime gaming ih a room with alot of ambient light.. even bouncing off screen to show real world usage and worst case scenario. A vs portion with the 27GR95QE vs PG27AQDM vs 27GS95QE showing the non exisitant ABL drop on the New GS model. ABL can be subject to different scenes and settings. I can only report on my gaming and so far I hsve seen None.
The 27GS95QE has a special option that will make this a very good option for anyone who loves brightness. It now includes a Peak Brightness option: Off, Low or High in both SDR & HDR modes. This option truly makes this a great gaming monitor and enables it to compete against other QD OLED 27" models.

This LG is using an updated w-OLED Panel with a 30% brightness increase. Example: asus is saying the new ultrawides use gen 3 panel but no new pixel layout. So this is a new and improved panel.
So two things. 1- why is the 95qe more expensive on Lg’s site I’ve also noticed it keeps going up on Amazon.
2. For someone who plays mainly cod on a series x (maybe a pc in the future) would you recommend this the Aw 3225Qf (I thought it would be cool to use a curve) or maybe something else?
I can vs these 2 monitors next week with cod. Ill be able to better show some points good and bad on both. Tho HDR looks nicer on the 27" GS. The LG site or amazon idk... I got mine at 859 on Amazon. But LG had theres at 900 but came withj some stuff free.
@@AFGixxeR88 I was going to pull the trigger on the Alienware, but I’m not a headphone guy like a lot of others, and this monitor only have and eArc/Arc port for a sound bar kinda tunes me away, they could have still added a auto jack.
@@RoyalBoyle78 so you can’t use desktop speakers
Yesterday i bought this monitor and today it will be delivered. This video is what I nedded to be made sure that I've made a great decision. Thank you, great timing.
Congrats! They even included a battery for the remote. Last yrs did not include one. Lol
What are your impressions?
Can you hear the fan? I had the GR for 1 day and returned it due to the loud fan.
Thanks for the review, nobody is talking about this release yet.
It really is an upgrade over last yrs. A major upgrade. Im happy with it. Trying to get the msi 27" for a vs video
@@ViktorsReality yah the MSI looks great too, as does the Alienware 360hz one.
Really excited to see how next gen woled compares to qd oled, especially for the 32in 4k panels
That is going to be great. That new 32" from LG is day 1
I'd say my biggest concern is the name being spaghetti, but with 1 different letter, so people might see reviews of this 27GS95QE, and then buy the 27GR95QE without noticing that it's not the same display.
True... same box, 1 letter change. How are ppl supposed to know... mainstream ppl. It is worrisome..
Well, most stores are offered to send them back to LG and they will upgrade the GR versions to the GS. So most GR should be gone by now or very soon.
Thanks for the update on these new monitors I was thinking of getting the asus but now I'm much more interested in this panel. Keep up the good work! 👍
Thx friend... we have alot to choose from so no need to rush and buy.. good times ahead.. :)
@@ViktorsRealityGood point it's good to be patient sometimes 👍
Wait for upcoming Asus oled trust me
@@schinnabua The 32' model?
@@ShrineMedium yes I think so. Not 100% sure tho because I’m only interested in 27 inch. Maybe google it…
One of the contenders for purchase! Yes, it’s expensive for a QHD Display, but it’s w-OLED GEN 3 and quite gorgeous.
Hi Vitkor, great review! Y have a question. Yesterday I bought the previous version on sale in my country (Spain) for 700€, since LG don't sell the new update and I doubt it will come out at the same price that the old one. There are other external sellers who sell it, but very expensive ( + 1000 €) ... Do you think I made a good purchase or should I wait for the new version to be released? Cheers!
Nice review. I just bought the last years Asus for 610 euro open box model
Cant beat that price. At least the Asus destroys the older LG GR version in everything..
Got this monitor today i love it brightness is perfect in gamer2 the peak brightness for me gamer1 is rly dimm and washout and hdr testet horizon zero dawn with rtx hdr looks rly amazing
I might go for this one since this is the only avaliable monitor in best buy. I was considering getting a qd oled since people said it was way better than woled but tbh there's barley any difference between the two so I don't really care. I'll be happy which ever one I get since its oled.
Looks promising. I'm excited to see how the 32" performs as well. That dual mode is quite an interesting feature.
1080p is kinda low for 32" though. I wish it had 1440p/360hz mode instead
@@jaybee0507 agreed, I'm hoping the 1080p/480hz mode resizes the screen to something equivalent to a 24" size or there abouts, or at least has that option.
Idk I got this and compared it to my PG27AQDM and the SDR brightness was still way brighter on the Asus when playing apex legends.
Keeping the Asus until the 480hz one comes out
Hey great video! Maybe you can help me out. I’ve recently bought the older version 27GR95QE and the fan noise is driving me crazy. Does the fan of this newer model also make any noises? Thank you :)
Nice video dude I’m looking to purchase my first pc monitor and I want a nice one so I was really looking at the GR but then I seen the GS and both are the same price and Best Buy so I’m guessing go with the GS right 🤔
Yes 100% GS. The GR is lower in sdr and hdr brightness. The GS will future proof you a bit.
This is a fantastic improvement on the GR model, however I'm looking to get a 32"/4k/240hz monitor next. The improved PPI and text readability is just too nice to ignore.
The 32" dual mode is a real upgrade. Like next gen.. cant wait for that..
I may pick this up Monday thanks to your review. I have heard too many complaints about eye strain on the new QD-OLEDs and don't want to take the risk. Can you explain how you were able to set the monitor to have no ABL?
On gamer 1 or 2 (I use 2) just keep contrast 65-70. Brightness to whatever you need it to be. Peak brightness on low or High. (I use low mostly) this monitor is better vs the GR of last year.
Peak brightness on low do you set your max peak hdr to 1,000 nits?
Virtor, would you chose this over the LG C3 42”?
I upgraded to this one myself from the 27gr95qe. Defiantly worth it for the brightness upgrade alone plus slightly better colors too. Very happy.
Congrats... It really just looks and is better in every way over the GR version.
My only complaint.... is that when image cleaning is executed sometimes is that it doesn't complete it until after several attempts intermittently
@@colin1992 Did I hear that right in the video, it is even cheaper than last years model? Here it is $1300 and last years model was $1400 at launch and still is $999... I would really consider it if it was $500-$600.
Is the brightness upgrade worth it? I returned my previous lg oled monitor last year because the brightness being so low kinda bothered me when playing in well lit areas, which I tend to do. I loved the way it looked and the colours and contrast were great, but it wasn't bright enough for me. Is this a considerable brightness upgrade?
Yeah it is @@nintendofire622
Hi victors, an info with these OLED monitors the video setting on PlayStation 5 should be set to 2160p or 1440p for a better rendering?
This monitor can accept both 4k and 1440p. I personally would enable 4k 120hz. (Weird how here it accepted both on call of duty - that was 4k at 120hz yes on this 1440p monitor) thats what thebmenu said anyway...
Ok thanks, one last request, for exclusive use ps5 recommendations among the following monitors that I could take on offer.
Lg 27gp950
Inzone M9
LG 27gr95e
Thanks
No matter how good my frame times are, I deal with enough vrr flicker that I had to return it. Otherwise I loved it but I don't know if oled is for me because of it
@ViktorsReality So about the ABL - when you open up a white page - it does not dim at all or?
damn i want this monitor!
I just got last year's for £500 I think it's great, especially with the service remote can unlock higher brightness. I also just bought the LG C3 42 as wanted to compare. Have you tried both? I find with the LG 27" Gamer 2 is brilliant. But I don't have any windows in my hall where my desk is. Had the Neo G7 before that was great for brightness but lacks depth from the OLED.
How much brighter did you get your GR? As stock it was really bad now when I compare to whats out.
@ViktorsReality I used the Service remote to unlock it. It's a lot brighter similar I'd say to the newer model. Only downside is you have to set up again every time you turn monitor back on. It only takes 10 seconds though.
sooo do you need to enable that peak brightness on sdr in order to not get ABL? does it state what the mode acutally does? great review, first on youtube i believe.
On my GR I would get alot of abl dimming with brightness at 100 and contrast at 60+. Here I dont get any at 100 brightness and contrast 75. Peak brightness is an option that shows sdr/hdr highlights better and improves the whole picture.
@@ViktorsReality I thank you mean to say ASBL not ABL. This monitor definitely has ABL it drops to almost 200 nits full screen. ASBL or Auto Static Brightness Limiter limits the brightness when it detects static images which can be triggered even when there's movement on screen if the movement is very small like fighting games.
@@fzmracerx which source do you have for "This monitor definitely has ABL it drops to almost 200 nits full screen." ? I am currently looking for other reviews on this exact model
@@FatalityDiablo All oleds drop to around 200 nits full screen. Even the new QD-OLEDs from Alienware only do 250 full screen.
If they didn't change the panel generation, they must have an improved driver to handle the increased brightness.
My 27GR95QE-B would shut down the display if i tried boosting brighness in the service menu when exposed to bright flashes in rapidly repeating fashon such as found in the Batman vs. Superman movie. Had to remove & reinsert the power plug to reset & get the display working again.
I do believe its some kind of gen 3 panel but not full featured like the new pixel layout ones. I can hit 1189nits 2% window. No abl so far. Ill have some hdr gameplay this week
Can’t wait for the 34inch ultra wide version!
These new 2024 w-OLEDs will be a great option for sure.
Do the colors of the 27gs95qe and 32gs95ue monitors look the same when viewing images?
No ABL and better brightness is definitely solid, but what about srgb mode? I remember when I turned it on, I couldn't really adjust any settings and it was wildly inaccurate and dim.
I'll go more in depth. The peak brightness option is really an improvement on all settings sdr and hdr.
Hi there, I have one quick question about this monitor if that's ok - i often heard that last years model supported 4k downscaling where if, for example, you set the ps5 or other device to output 4k then the monitor could accept the 4k input and downsample it to a sharper 1440p than it you were to directly output 1440p from the ps5 or other device. I just want to confirm if this years model still has this feature, or if it has possibly been removed? Thanks for the great review!
It does have this feature, but I think most would recommend you to keep it on 1440p in your ps5 settings. You want the ps5 doing all the scaling stuff rather than your monitor so no input lag and the ps5 will likely do it better.
Also, even though your setting the ps5 to 1440p, with most games the ps5 will actually still be taking a 4k signal and downscaling it so yeah you'll still get your nice supersampled 4k that will look better than native 1440.
Yes it still includes it. I missed your comment. Thx to everyone who responded :)
@@thepadster123 Thank you so much for your detailed reply and insight! I learnt a lot from that, which i can apply to monitors and tvs in general regarding signal input vs signal output for devices like the ps5 :) I really appreciate that!
@@ViktorsReality Thanks so much, Viktor! :)
what about the fan? is it still there? or got removed in 3rd gen
Do you think this is better then the 34awf overall?
This is THE monitor to GET! no doubt-
one concern i have with oled in hdr is that when i was playing armored core 6, the screen would constantly go dim cause theres tons of explosions, same for the sky of all things in forza horizon 5, are you sure there's absolutely no abl in hdr mode? cause this seems like my perfect monitor rn
I will test both games in HDR to be 100% soon. Thx for that info.
@@ViktorsReality completely forgot to mention I was using an asus pg27aqdm, which I returned lol
Can you play PUBG in this GS and advise us if it is pixelated..or it is as good as 4k as well?
How's the ghosting at 120hz specifically for console? I remember that the previous version had bad test results in that category
MW3 was in 120hz here. I didnt notice anything bad. Looked clear..
@@ViktorsReality I mean it looked amazing watching the video but that's good to know. I should receive the MSI 271qrx next week as it was shipped today so in the rare case that i don't like it I'll go for this 27GS95QE mainly because my current setup is all LG 😅.
@ViktorsReality I thank you mean to say ASBL not ABL. This monitor definitely has ABL it drops to almost 200 nits full screen. ASBL or Auto Static Brightness Limiter limits the brightness when it detects static images which can be triggered even when there's movement on screen if the movement is very small like fighting games.
This monitor drops to 235nits full white field so far I have seen. But my street fighter tests show no high brightness flash dimming. While the aw3225qf so far I see a 270nits across the board.
It clearly has ABL.. just less aggressive than last years model.
Is rumors of a higher end model coming out towards end of the year with better subpixel layout for text clarity and possibly 360hz. Might wait for that.
Not in any gaming I have played on so far. If it can pass the street fighter test as seen here that's all I need to know it won't have an abl issue at all.
@@ViktorsReality it's just performing better. It still gets dimmer the larger the white window increases like any oled
hey vikers the LG Oled 2024 34'' ultrawide 3440x1440 240hz model is listed on amazon @ $1299 I am just waiting on the dual mode 32''
I have seen that. Im waiting for that Dual mode for sure.
someone on reddit already bought it and shows the price at $1299 amazon just updated the product page with photos of the monitor but no buy button for the dual mode monitor by LG @@ViktorsReality
Is there any VRR flicker with gsync? What about text fringing?
It would be the same as last yrs so keep that in mind of you had issues. There is no new pixel layout just an improved panel. I have not seen any flicker with gsync. But I just got this in
@@ViktorsReality please check for VRR flicker if you do a review of this panel. I’m considering getting it. Although not sure if I should get this or the Alienware 360 hz qd oled. Choices choices
I’ve had this monitor for the past week and previously had the older GR variant before returning it. The GS is soooo much better!
True... That increase in brightness is easily seen.
What do you use it for? I’m wanting a monitor to play mw3 on a series x. Currently I play on a 32” Vizio
@@AFGixxeR88 gaming and it's awesome if you are playing at a desk, screen size might be an issue though for you since you have 32in already
@@carson4497 yeah I bought a secret lab desk. Well I’m using to playing on a 65” but then used an old Vizio lcd to put on my desk. I’m debating on this or the 32 Alienware
@@carson4497 I was leaning towards this or the AW32” curved he reviewed. I don’t know if I would mind a 27” after using it. Do you find it too small?
Are we getting a Alienware 32" vs neo G8 comparison soon?
Working on it but this just arrived
Ay please tell dose it have the same as the 32in one the 480hz thing
HI.Does this monitor not turn off every 4 hours (even when an active game is running and it cannot be canceled) to protect against burnout?
It does do a pixel refrsh but only when its off or on standby.
What are the best 27 QHD IPS Displays at 240 Hz today?
I really like the ktc 27" mini led and any nano ips monitor. The alienware aw2723df is under $500 at 280hz. Bright and fast. Tho no zones its great for what it is
In my country, the GR version costs 850 USD and the GS is 1100, do you think it’s worth paying the extra price for GS?
Same question… hope Viktor can help us…
I returned an AOC Oled AG276QZD that had G-Sync Flicker, three dark subpixels. And bought a new LG 27GS95QE-B. This is another level. No flickering (I only have Alan Wake 2 so far). No dead pixel or defective subpixel. Everything here is better compared to AOC and the readability of the text suits me better with LG. Brightness etc is great. I don't like to set things directly on the monitor, so I welcome the included controller. Probably thanks to DisplayHDR TRUE BLACK 400, I think everything in Alan Wake 2 is better, I don't know. Great satisfaction for me...
Alan wake looks really good here. I just tested that also. That remote does come in handy. Congrats friend...
Would this beat the PG27AQDM? iirc the asus only beat it in the SDR peak & ABL "issues"
The GS is best overall vs the GR and Asus. According to LG this new GS is using mla+ tech. So my findings are correct. But if you can get the Asus cheaper then its a good deal as the Asus is really good. Looks nice too.
How is text fringing? These new panels have a new subpixel (RGWB) structure right?
This like the new Asus panels are using the same older layout. The new pixel layout ones start with the 480hz dual mode and 480hz qhd monitors in june
So dose this monitor get to 480 or nah
@@RsW409 this is only 240hz. The new 32GS95UE is 480hz at 1080p
So is it a yes or no

I can have another ps5 video on this monitor. Give me about a week. Lots of new monitors incoming
@@ViktorsReality Does it have the same coathing as the GR, or did it get the new coathing like the 32' 4K version?
@@Iddqd_84 the GS has the same as the GR. The New 32" has the coating like the 32GQ950.
Using 38gn950 right now, any news on the 45gs if it’s coming? Doesn’t need to upgrade the resolution, can’t choose between 45gr or 39gs tbh…..
I too like the 39" size as 45 seems too big and curvy. Idk... lets see.
@@ViktorsReality maybe the new panel is worth the smaller size as well
It's sad that it only had 2 year warranty against the 3 year that other QD-OLEDs have. And does it even include burn-in in those 2 years?
Yes 2yr burn in warranty from LG
How’s it sad ?? They don’t need to even give warranty lg created oled and all the oleds use there panel. I have a 65in lg b6 which is a oled it’s 8 years old and zero burn in. I recently added a 65in lg g3 they give u 5 years burn in warranty so don’t worry about warranty u will never need to use it they will outlast qd oleds
im really confused after that model, every model has it own cons and pros but what should i get? PG27AQDM, LG27GS95QE (which is not aviable rn), ag276QZD or AW2725DF and also msi one 271QRX
I am trying to get the 271qrx to test but so far the GS is brighter vs the AW3225QF is sdr for sure. The Asus is good but in worst case it still shows abl as seen here.
@@ViktorsRealityyou’ve compared both those two monitors? The aw3225qf and this new LG?
Just got mine to test. I think there's ABL in "Peak Brightness" set to "High". Open a white screen window in Chrome and make it small. Then drag it to make it larger and watch your white icons on your desktop - they will dim. In "Low" mode it's not as noticeable. Still there, but barely.
The ABL is probably a lot better than what it was (I never owned the GR model) but it's still there. In games I really doubt you're going to notice it. And of course this is worse case scenario.
OLEDs will always have abl Im just talking and showing gaming or at least my gaming. For sure the GR was pretty bad at abl so this is a major improvement. I should have wrote" And less ABL".. lol
Hi . so they will not add this feature in a software update on the 27GR95QE model (Peak Brightness )
No.. this is for this new GS. Unless a new firmware is announced I do not think so.
So how does it fare when it displays gray/dark shades? does it have the dirty "gray" issue still? if it has than no "computer nerd" can use it as it will make widows/OS dark mode unusable because of the artefacts during displaying gray/dark shades
I have not had any issues you describe. Black stabalizer can lift shades. I have not seen any issues also on the GR unless that was just too low in brightness overall
I can get it for around 800 euro with preorder discount and new client discount directly from LG. Should i pull the trigger?
I think so. w-OLED still looks great. See if there are any LG freebies like spreaker etc.. the US has one currently going on. $400 worth of free stuff..
@@ViktorsReality no freebies sadly, but 20x0% installments, no interest rates. I just converted my price befote tax into USD and it is about 674 USD. Taxes here are insane 23%
I have the 27gr95qe, I’m thinking of getting this and using the GR as a second monitor. You think it’s worth it?
It is brighter but basically the same in every way. If you need 2 monitors one for gaming and one for overlays if you stream a QD OLED would be better. But of its just for you any qd oled for gaming would be a nicer upgrade. But of you like the LG menu system and want to keep everything the same (i am the same way i need everything to look even or the same) the GS is brighter and you will be able to notice. Its more fun for me.
@@ViktorsReality Lg Oled GS version have drop to $700 right now should i get that or go for msi oled 271QRX ? $800
what about the corsair?
I've had this monitor for a week now, and for a week I've been trying to get rid of the vrr flickering.
Have you tried lowering the Adaptive sync option from extended to basic? Ill see if there is any firmware update.
@@ViktorsReality I didn't see an option to choose, I can only choose to have adaptive sync on or off. Firmware is up to date as of yesterday. It's a well known issue apparently for OLED that has been going on for years. Obviously I'm learning this the hard way. Also, this doesn't just happen in games It happens on the desktop as well. Turning off adaptive/free/G synch makes the flickering stop, but having to disable a feature the monitor supports to fix it is not really a fix at all.
Did they fix the issue with ghosting at 60Hz? Last years model had that issue.
I have tried ps5 and I didnt notice anything wrong or smear.
@@ViktorsReality Thanks
why do all including this lg oled have the aux sound problem???have to unplug to make it work.
How dirty/greasy is the coating on this one?
I tried last years asus pg27aqdm and couldn't stand how awful it looked.
I have been using 4k for a year now. Are these 1440p oleds better than it? I do have the gp950 and as you said it is an upgrade but is is it as crisp as 4k?
4k is still best I think. But by seeing this panel. I am 100% getting the new LG 32" 4k 240hz / 1080p 480hz monitor.
@@ViktorsReality I will wait on that. I really like the 4k quality. I almost ordered a mini led today and I your vid popped up lol.
@@mickeylickey nice! Lol which mini led? But honestly I say wait until that LG 32" comes out that will be really good.
@@ViktorsRealityis LG making a 27" 480hz monitor too?
@ViktorsReality the ktc mini led you reviewed. Is it good still? It's much cheaper now on Amazon. Also can I use an oled all day for long periods gaming?

which on would you get
C3. Just because you get alot more for your money.
Thanks chef will do@@ViktorsReality
G9 oled here, top monitor
Does this version of the panel not have the 4k bug via hdmi 2.1 ?
Yes, the bug is still there. I checked if there is a new firmware and I have the latest version.
Wow thats so disapointing.. Thanks a lot for the heads up, heard it happening on some of the brand new panels as well really hope somehow a fix is implemented crazy.. @@HonySukys
Pretty sure woled gen 3 panels don't come out until 2nd half of 2024. Those will include the new rgwb pixel layout where this one doesn't.
Its a form of the new panel. The new 34" and 39" also do not have the new pixel layout but are newer gen panels. Just like this new GS 27".
@@ViktorsReality Ah makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
Does it still have the problem where it does 4k@120hz when using HDMI 2.1 that the 27GR95QE has?
I would hope not as that was fixed in a firmware update for the GR
Can you review this monitor ? pixio px277 oled max
I am trying too. It would be a great vs to pixio oled vs Koorui oled
How would you compare this lg oled to the msi oled ?
The msi has more color, image looks "liquid" because of the glossy look. Msi is best overall.. but Ill have a vs vid up soon
Bro do the msi 32 OLED!!!
I do plan on getting all 32" QD OLEDs this yr. A massive 6/8 monitor showcase would be crazy fun.
meeeh the msi "MAG 271QPX QD-OLED" and the " ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP " ones coming out this year are better in my opinion.
if you aren't dying to get a monitor asap id wait tbh.
The 27" AQDP will be 480hz and more expensive. The 27" QD OLED I would like to see if sdr is brighter because this peak brightness option is awesome. This 27" will be 699-799 by the time those release especially the 480hz ver.. Lots of options is good.
What is AVL or ABL you keep mentioning?
Auto Brightness limiting or Automatic brightness limiter. When an oled gets too bright it dims the picture. Asus has an option called uniform brightness to limit that annoying issue. These new LG oleds can handle peaks with no issue. As seen on the oled LG and Asus vs this New GS version.
What's the peak brightness on a 10% window?
Ill test for an upcoming video. Thx
Honestly its great that the display is brighter, but at this rate and at that price point, I feel like most people would be better off saving for a little while longer and getting one of the QD Oled 4k 240hz displays. Its legit a straight upgrade in most ways, Res, image quality, and the refresh rate is still 240hz. If you can afford a 900 dollar display, then you can certainly afford to save a couple hundred more dollars and just go ahead and get the best display.
True.. the QD OLED would be better overall choice. The upgrade is easily seen vs other types of panels.
How is the pixel fringing?
Same as last years. This new GS and the new Asus 34" and 39" monitors are using the older pixel layout. The new dual mode and 480hz monitors use the new pixels layout for text clarity. Ill get one in soon.
Hey Viktor, with all of your experience, I think the community could really use a tier list of some sort. Lots of channels in the audiophile/IEM world make IEM tier lists and it would be cool to see a spreadsheet or something of your thoughts on the various monitors you own and have reviewed. You're the only creator covering monitors on this level. Other channels go heavy on the specs, but yours is better from the perspective of the subjective and side-by-side comparisons. Also, you're not buying into the discussion of glossy vs matte, which is pretty refreshing. I'm looking at the existing monitor market and pretty confused on what to get. I'm using a 60Hz TN panel from 2012 😀. What I'm really torn on is whether or not to pull the trigger on a monitor like this or to get the new gen monitors that are always sold out. I'm worried I'll be disappointed with whatever I choose.
Ill make a tier list this month. I have been wanting too for a while. Thx friend..
will the pg27aqdm get a Update ?
The newest update has dramatically given it a brightness increase.
Still recommend the gs? I returned my gr hope I don't regret it
The GS is a very good improvement over the GR. This 2024 LG lineup really have improved brightness alot in sdr and hdr modes.
@@ViktorsReality is it the 3rd gen panel?
@@twinstarunruly4129 not a 3rd gen but improved panel. LG is saying mla+ on this new 27". This yr has been improved greatly across the whole range..
This would’ve been perfect but that anti glare coating really degrades its pixel density .
I have the oled 45in - Should I upgrade?
Wait for the new 45" coming in summer. 30% Brighter also
Best monitor? What about MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED and Dell Alienware AW2725DF? LG better?! )))
Best w-OLED. Not best overall monitor. Lol. Its a major improvment over the GR version of last yr. I will tey to find the best 27" qd oled
@@ViktorsReality Ok, find the best. I'm watching you, be careful!!! )))
They really dropped the ball by not adding a glossy option.
yeahh but qd oled gets so grey with ambient light
We don't need a glossy option we need this to only come in glossy. Oled with matte really doesn't do the panel tech justice at which point it doesn't look that much better than your typical IPS monitor which is way cheaper.
@@moc5661 Have to cater to both audiences end of the day
I think he means WOLED glossy. The blacks are better than QD-OLED and the contrast is higher. My LG tvs are better than my QD-OLED glossy monitor but I can’t do a tv as my monitor. I tried it and felt like I cooked my eyes. As soon as WOLED glossy drops I will be tempted to upgrade again.
@@CarnivoryHODL if you look at LG's products or any monitor manufacturer you will see that none of them make 1 monitor offering two different screen coatings for the same model and if there is i've not heard of it so let's be realistic here lol.
is the gr version still good to get its on sale for 700$
I would get the GS over the GR. $150 make a big difference in brightness.
you keep selling the brightness but how is the color gamma and color overall? I personally really care about that as well.
There is no washed out image at all. Sure QD OLED is superior but this looks good at full brightness. More videos incoming. I had this on warm color tone and gamma mode 2. Gamer 2 preset. Das on As that is low input lag mode. All fast while looking great.
oh so the color shown in the video is the warm display. that makes more sense! thank you for the response.@@ViktorsReality
Wow I want the new model but what can I do with the old model???? I don’t want have too many monitors!
Better wait for a real true upgrade with the new 480hz 1440p option in june. New pixel arrangment and mla+. Use the GR as a 27" Tv hook up a media device. Thats what I do..
@@ViktorsRealitythe 480hz is too big for competitive
But has the text clarity been improved? That is the question.
For that (an improvement) we need to wait for the w-OLED rgwb pixel layout starting in june.
I heard W-OLED panels have higher risk of burn in. Is that true?
no its the oposite, they have less risk of burn in
No improvement in Text Clarity?
No we have to wait for the new rgwb layout later in the yr.
Only issue is it's the same price as the Alienware 360hz. Alienware is actually $200 off in Canada on Dells website. Making it $200 cheaper than this. AW doesn't have a crap coating either.
aw has no hdmi 2.1 does it? massive no for many
@mattdrifts it does have hdmi 2.1 tho.
Almost pulled the trigger on the Asus but this model is priced identically on Amazon so I went with this one. Really wish Asus had opted to use HDMI 2.1 on the PG27AQDM.
I'm sure you will be happy. I'm just happy to see street fighter better here on the New GS LG vs the Asus.
Why do you need HDMI 2.1 for 1440p tho
@@Dr.WhetFarts allows VRR on PS5 if I use it on that. Also considering they are priced identically why not get the better HDMI 2.1.
Even though this monitor is an improvement over last year with its brightness, the price of $900 is still too high. Instead you can get the Alienware aw2725df and get 360hz refresh rate plus a semi-glossy screen. Other than slightly deeper black levels on the WOLED, I just can’t see why anyone would choose this over the Alienware.
The sdr brightness is I believe better here. Plus the remote. I have heard the sdr brightness is not good on the Dell 27". I may get a 27" qd oled but prob msi. This LG needs to be priced at 699-799 for sure.
@@ViktorsReality Gotcha. I am fan of LG oleds no doubt, I still have my 48" C1, and now looking forward to the upcoming dual mode by both Asus and LG. You have the best monitor review channel by far, keep up the good work
@EndoV2 thx man.. I too love LG monitors. They are built really well.
The LG is way Vetter then the Dell. I returned the Dell directly
they should of made this 360hz to compete with the 360hz qd oleds at the same price point.
I hap hoped for a 360hz version. But we have to wait for a 27" 1440p 480hz Non dual mode in June...
On my Alienware AW3225QF, I play with the windows wide open, sunlight shining through... I have zero issues with reflections. This monitor would look so much better, and cleaner if it was glossy instead of matte. I also have last year's LG 27 oled and that matty grain just ruins the full clarity of the image for me.
It’s still an issue. It just doesn’t go away cause you don’t have a problem.
It all depends on lighting. I have a 32GQ950 in front of my AW3225QF (acxross from each other) and its impossible to use as it warps the reflection. So I need to position it better.
I have just bought mine for 849 dollars ❤
Nice! I got mine for 859 so you win 🤣 enable peak brightness and witness the brightest oled ever at 27"
Weird how on Best Buy the GR is $100 more expensive than GS
And here I thought they would start offering some cheaper options but no, it's $900. Why can a midrange phone like Galaxy A54 for example have an OLED screen for like $400 or whatever it costs these days but we still don't have a $400 OLED monitor?
I'm waiting for the ASUS new ultrawide to become available. :)
The 34" or 39"? both going to be awesome
800R curve sucks
No USB-C PD is a bummer.
