ProArt continues to provide quality models at all price points. I am quite happy with mine although one of the cheaper models. Latency and responsiveness could be better but there are unfortunately always trade-offs in the monitor space. Another great review by Techtesters, appreciate the perspective and detailed testing results with analysis. Good monitor reviews are hard to find.
Did you use these wide color gamuts and how? It may be senseless, as most people don't have so wide color gamuts and probably won't have them in 5-10 years.
Excellent review, as usual. I actually don't mind the thicker bezels on the monitor. As thin as they've gotten on the gaming monitors I'm nervous any time I need to move mine as it feels like I'm putting more pressure than I'd like on the actual panel. Having a little bulk around it provides more peace-of-mind even if it's largely unfounded.
Finally a 32" 4K OLED...at 60Hz. Sigh. Plus it's 3500+ There's always that one thing about every monitor, every panel etc that ruins it all: LG 4K OLED under 1000€? Hell yes - wait but it's 42"+ and is glossy with WRGB subpixels. Alienware 34" QD-OLED for 1300€? Hell yes - wait but it's 1440p, has no polarizer and has triangle RGB subpixel layout. Plus it's curved ultrawide. Samsung 32" 4K 240Hz VA with 1200 MiniLED zones under 1500€? Hell yes - wait but it has quality control issues and it's not an OLED. Plus it has 1000R curve. Way to always ruin your products monitor/TV manufacturers. Is it really so hard to create a 4K 32" 120Hz+ OLED screen that costs less than 1500€ and is flat, matte and with standard RGB subpixel layout? Also given the year we live in it should come with HDMI 2.1 ports and DisplayPort 2.0 because using HDMI 2.0 is an insult at that price.
LG is your best bet, they're the ones that ACTUALLY make OLED panels and they had tons of news saying they were shrinking them down, don't buy from anyone else. The C1 and that family is the best thing for now but not as a monitor, as a pretty much secondary display when you're gaming, get another monitor for your main thing, some IPS e-sports one if you're playing something competitive, and when you're watching movies/playing singleplayer you switch to that I know this EXACT FUCKIN FEELING of always something missing, literally can't find a Computer Case that has all USB 3.0 in the front panel AND space for a lot of HDD, they're still using the 2.0 for some fuckin useless reason and they're like 350 €+, why would i switch my HAF X what's the point, just give me a fkin case with 4 3.0 USB one TYPE C AND SPACE FOR HDD IS IT THAT HARD TO ASK always this shit they always fuk something up
@@whiskizyo2067 Well, it's the kind of monitor I would like for gaming. A 32" 4K Oled monitor. It is the kind of monitor that a lot of people have been waiting for gaming. Even if it only reaches 60hz, it's perfectly ok for many. I don't want VA, I don't need 240Hz, I don't want 24" to 27", I don't want 1440p. This has the perfect characteristics to play and watch movies on your desktop. So, I agree with the original comment: There's always that one thing about every monitor that ruins it all.
Yes it is very very very hard to make a 32 inch 120 Hz + Oled Panel why you might ask Answer is that there are two types of RGB oled manufacturing techniques One is Evaporation Method and other one is Inkjet Printing Method The problem with oled evaporation method is that it requires vaccum environment and very expensive manufacturing equipment here comes an amazing solution to this problem which is inkjet printing , Inkjet printing doesnt reuire vaccum conditions and very expensive equipment its like a maseeha solution to all display enthusiasts but but but Current Inkjet Technology (in 2022 ) is very primitive and suffers from very very bad yield rate so much that they are almost out of stock 95 % of the time and guess what the company making this 32 inch RGB OLED Panel which is JOLED can go bankrupt says OLED info if they dont improve their operations , so forget about 32 inch RGB OLED Panel 120 hz + how the hell they can launch even a 60 hz panel under 1000 euros ?? also middle sized oled that is 17 to 36 inch diagonal 16:9 aspect ratio is very difficult to produce either RGB OLED Route our WRGB OLED Route
Thanks again for another EXCELLENT monitor review (and by the way, I love your ceramic cacti). I'm definitely enthusiastic about the superb picture quality of this RGB-OLED display, but I'll be quick to add that I'm a little less enthusiastic about the $3,500 price tag. Perhaps what intrigues me most is your mention that this RGB-OLED panel is manufactured by JOLED, which is a joint venture between Sony and Panasonic. The JOLED website states they make OLED panels from 10" to 32", but I am not aware of any monitors being sold by either Sony or Panasonic that use these JOLED panels (much less any TVs using JOLED panels that are 55" and larger). So, Panasonic and Sony, why aren't you utilizing your own JOLED panels? I'm curious about that!
How does this monitor compare against the EIZO ColorEdge CG2700X? (They are both the same price.) IPS vs OLED Which would you recommend for a Photographer? Thanks, Alexander
Thank you very much for another Thorough review. The monitor looks very nice. But, I don't think I can get past the 60hz refresh. Why, Why ASUS is it so low. I would think a majority of Video editors are editing 4k usually @120 HZ with slo-mo of 240HZ down to 60HZ for special effects etc. But we NEED to review / edit at the native speed of our source materials & then compile / export to whatever freq we want. This monitor seems to prevent that. I would be curious if you used the monitor in any work environment to see how it responded to Video editing. Plz update if you did & what the results were. Thank you again for ALL your info presented.
Nice Video :) Please do a full review of Asus ProArt OLED 21 inch Portable Monitor PQ22UC. (0,1ms - 4k60hz OLED - HDR - 99% DCI-P3 color gamut - Portability to anywhere)
Is the power supply on this USB-C? As in, can you plug it into a suitably powerful DC power supply (for example in a campervan)? I know there was an Asus display that offered this option, but it is nigh on impossible to search for because of there being so many monitors with USB-C power *delivery* (which while also needed, is not the key thing I am looking for). Being able to power this directly from a DC battery system with solar power etc, would allow for a much more efficient (energy-wise and for cable management!) setup for nomadic or offered photographers/videographers etc. Whilst many of us have inverters for an AC power supply like in a house - they consume power to run & we have limited amounts, so we often only switch them on for a short time when needed to run an induction hob for example.
Hi I'm looking for a M.2 ssd for gaming and coding with Python and C++. So watching your videos for a While. Before 1 or 2 hours I want to buy a 980 PRO but KC3000, S70, SN850 and Spatium M480 makes me confused so i think i need a professionels help. Which one should i Buy? I will buy 1TB btw. Thanks in advance.
Auto calibrated like Eizo ColorEdge CG monitors do... Wow. I thought I wouldn't see that out of Eizo for a long time yet. Indeed, I have an Eizo, but it is ColorEdge CS series, those do not auto calibrate (I keep using my colorimeter like with every monitor... I'd rather prefer it'd auto calibrate, lol).
I recently purchased this monitor and I am very impressed. But I do have a question, I was checking out the user profiles (Just to test the calibration on them) and I am noticing what looks like color banding/artifacts on them, both of them actually no matter how I calibrate it. None of the other profiles have this issue, and I've already done a calibration on the rec 709 profile which pre and post cal looks great and has no artifacts. Curious about what you think should be done, though I admit I'll basically never be using them anyway, just don't know how to feel about it.
if you have an spectrometer that can read CRI can you put it on this monitor and measure CRI at 6500K White. i want to see if it can match the light quality from the CRTs
This seems to be exactly what i'm after as I'm wanting the rich blacks the oled monitor offers for fantastic movies but I also play fps a couple of nights per week. That response time is terrible. I would really like to see how it effects playing R6 Siege. My current 4K, 31.5 inch LG with the awesome monitor stand runs at 120Htz which is good and works well enough for gaming but the blacks are very much dark grey and comparing it with my LG 65inch G1 OLED TV which has perfect, rich blacks, my PC monitor looks very poor. I don't know what to do.
@@TechTesters awesome, got a M1Max Mac Studio 64GB, 1TB arriving mid October and Secret Labs Magnus Pro XL desk. Monitor is next big item on the list. Do lots of screen recordings for website tutorials, video editing tutorials. OLED and HDR is the way to go. The Mac Studio monitor was a bit dissapointing, no HDR.
@@dogusatasoy I meant in the TH-cam reviewer’s panel (look like obvious reflections), but yikes, that’s a bummer about your panel. Shocked that you had to deal w a bunch of leak on an OLED. This is why I’ve been w EIZO CG series for a long time for color-critical work (and Flanders).
I m really impressed by Oled panels and would love to have one as my daily driver, Are there any 38inch ultra wide Oleds out there? is Burn in still an issue?
So far only the 34” qd oled ultra wide exists. Im waiting for a 38” UW myself too. As for burnin. It does, not much they can do to stop it completely. But you should try to take the usual anti burnin measures.
What about the Asus MQ16AH portable oled monitor? Will you review it too? Been waiting for it since september last year and still nothing on the actual release date price. Except it's $399 USD so EU it's still unknown so far.
@@adityaarayan2340 INNOCN has a tons of portable oled monitors so that's not really the reason. Asus has done this nonsense for many of years and it's not only oled. They announce it and release it after one year and 9 months or more.
Thank you for that review. What would you recommend for me as a professional photographer + UI / UX Developer? This oled proart or the mini led proart PA32UCG-K or the pro display xdr (i work with apple computers) thank you so much
If you're into pro photography I would probably skip mini LED and either look at a good IPS or a good OLED panel. I haven't properly tested the pro display XDR to really judge.
@Techtesters - can you recommend monitor for mostly document use? I need to point out, that I am spoiled with OLED 16.2" 3160x2400 Asus ProArt laptop with such screen, but more so with iMAC 27" 5K screen which is sharp AF. In general, what I am looking for is 400nits or 500 minimum, glossy (semi-glossy)... and sharp. If 5K 24" would exist - I would go for it - I will not go for OLED on 27" or 32" due to backlight change and more due to 'pixel distance' that blurs text. I am dead serious - I am using my PC, and Mac and work laptop, 12h per day and computers since 1999, I need near perfect screen as I read, analyse, compose and produce text docs. Can anybody help?
Not sure which model I'd pick exactly. OLED is great but isn't perfect, sounds to me like you'd be best off with a really high-end, high-DPI IPS panel, but then those won't be glossy or semi glossy. Mac panels might work, some high-end dells are really nice (but again, no gloss afaik). Might be best to just go out and see a few.
@@TechTesters Thanks, I am almost sure that this will be 27" IPS Black by Dell or LG scree in 4K (in 150% DPI), was thinking also about their 2723DE version that is 2560x1440 but is 120Hz - not sure I want it - also EIZO FlexScan EV2740X-WT (which is two times more expensive: 5500 vs 2500PLN in Poland). I really like added RJ45 in Dell's and better contrast but I think that I need 550 nit, as almost every day between may and august I have near 100% brightness on my iMAC (which is supposedly around 500-550 nit). Hehhh I cannot go anywhere in PL where such monitors would be displayed - that sadly include - biggest malls in Warsaw :( .
532 Nits right? you will not see the true HDR image on this monitor keep in mind that this low peakbrightness also gives low color luminance. HDR is all about Peak brightness AND color luminance. this monitor lacks both.
Not necessarily in hdr images with lots of snowy mountains sure peak brightness is king however, any other image where there are both dark and light elements on the screen this monitor is sufficient in dark environments. It has the contrast and the color gamut for true hdr. I have compared my s20 plus amoled display that can hit 1200 nit peak to my innocn oled monitor that is rated at 486nits peak. The colors in hdr scenes are more vibrant on my oled monitor .
HDR has little to do with brightness. What's more important, is the contrast ratio. You can have a monitor that goes to 1000 nits, but if the lowest output (black) is 5 nits, then it doesn't really matter. If the monitor does 0-500 nits, you have the ability to see all ranges of color better. All the first HDR videos from Hollywood, were color graded on very low brightness displays. Maybe 4-500 nits peak. Color depth and color coverage is equally as important. Again, if you have that 5-1000 nits display, and if it only covers 80% of DCI-P3, it can't display a true HDR image, while the PA32DC with 111% coverage can. I have a TV, that can do 1000 nits peak brightness, and a monitor that can do 600 nits. But The monitor sits so close to me (˜60 cm or 2 feet), that it is much bigger to look at, than my viewing distance from my TV. So I almost perceive them as being equally bright.
Great review as always. The low 60Hz refresh rate is a limiting factor if you are creating or editing video content that involves frame rates over 60 FPS .
No such thing as over-60fps content, 60fps itself is rarely used and most of the time it's utilized in demos to literally showcase these monitors / tvs. The thing is though that in niche cases, such as viewing slow-motion recordings in 1x speed, it is kind of annoying. I want to see a production monitor like this that does 120hz and THEN I'll be able to say "alright, this is endgame" because then there will be no reason to buy a secondary monitor for anything else, you can just get one of these and do anything on it including gaming.
Literally every OLED monitor I've tested "flickers". It's just so fast that most people can't see it. And apparently it's fast enough for TÜV Rheinland to say it's flicker-free so brands can spend a lot of money on these "flicker free" certificates.
The price... BTW one big mistake with showing colorful graphics is that I, watching this on my monitor, also see colorful and wonderful - and the conclusion is - if I see it that awesome, maybe my monitor is awesome enough for me? I'd rather see how the desktop looks, the websites look, etc. than some graphics like that.
I'm not impressed. Removing the W subpixel is a good thing ... but only if it solves the brightness problem in other way, which it doesn't. And this monitor also adds a new problem that OLED monitors didn't have, because such a high latency is not only a problem for gamers but also for drawing with the pen tablet. So this monitor is not for "Content creators", it is for "Content creators who don't need to create HDR images (or watch HDR content), don't need to create drawings and do not like to play games". Not many.
😅for an oled to have a cheap cost , a 22 to 32 inch size , 120 hz plus refresh rate , low input lag other perks etc wait for at least 10 years from now hopefully in 2032 you will get to see such amazing monitors which is not at all possible in 2022😁
@@adityaarayan2340 Who asked for a cheap cost? , not me, I know a high end monitor will always be expensive (by definition). But at this high price I can not accept a so ridicously bad latency, because latency is just a question to include a faster micro procesador as other high end OLEDs have. Making it "for creators" can't be a excuse to cut costs on this particular area, specially at this price.
Why cant someone just make a 32 inch tv or gaming monitor! We’ve had literally every screen size and feature set, but what most of us are looking for. It’s so frustrating
I'm guessing it's 60hz refresh rate? Saying it's not meant for gaming is such a cop out from ASUS. At this price, you can at least do 120hz. People who want high refresh rates aren't just gamers.
Sorry, but “perfect hdr” claim in under 30sec when this monitor has a max of 400nits is misleading and had me immediately close the video. Whether or not you’re mis-informed, or intentionally mis-informing people in the modern age is moot. I’ll be sure to never engage your content and sway anyone else away who shares your content with me. Do better.
Welcome to the intro of a video. Where you introduce what a product is SUPPOSED to be, according to the manufacturer. Then we talk about the test results, and confirm/debunk their claims. “It was made for people that are after that perfect HDR” “let’s see if that’s correct”. It’s not misleading in any way. My concerns and thoughts about the HDR are described in detail later in the video that you can easily skip to by clicking on the HDR chapter. But skipping everything and writing an angry comment instead, after misunderstanding the concept of an intro, is just lazy and unacceptable. And I will stay away from your comments. Do better. Lol.
I don't think you really understand what the definition of HDR means. If you think it means that it must be able to do 1000 nits of peak brightness (or whatever), then you're wrong. Back to you.
@@TechTestershow about you actually quote the words you say, and not what you think you said. I know what an intro is, I also know what a shill is. You never said either of your own quotes hahaha “It was made for” nope. What you said: “This is actually a professional tool” “Let’s see if that’s correct” nope. What you said: “Let’s check it out” “Now this is not a monitor you would get for gaming. This is actually a professional tool that is made for designers, for filmmakers, for video editors, and pretty much all kinds of content creators that are after that wide color gamut, that perfect color accuracy, that perfect HDR, and just that perfect all around color reproduction….so let’s check it out, let’s go” Words matter. Do better.
@@akyhneI know very well what the standards and limitations of modern HDR are. The ITU defined Rec709s SDR standard as being pegged to 100 nits in the 50s based off of CRTs. I bring up Rec709 (a color space) in the same way that there is not a single consumer television that can display “perfect” (aka 100%) Rec2020. Dolby visions standards require a display to produce 1000nits with peaks capable of 10,000nits. Same with the HDR10 standard. Most all content is being mastered in a 1k-4000nit environment for HDR, this doesn’t even come close. How bout I said, buy this monitor for accurate rec2020 mastering? You think that would be acceptable?
By far the best test video I have seen for the ASUS PA32DC. Can’t wait for mine to arrive by end of this month.
Hope you enjoy it!

Yes it is very very very hard to make a 32 inch 120 Hz + Oled Panel why you might ask
Answer is that there are two types of RGB oled manufacturing techniques
One is Evaporation Method and other one is Inkjet Printing Method
The problem with oled evaporation method is that it requires vaccum environment and very expensive manufacturing equipment here comes an amazing solution to this problem which is inkjet printing , Inkjet printing doesnt reuire vaccum conditions and very expensive equipment its like a maseeha solution to all display enthusiasts but but but
Current Inkjet Technology (in 2022 ) is very primitive and suffers from very very bad yield rate so much that they are almost out of stock 95 % of the time and guess what the company making this 32 inch RGB OLED Panel which is JOLED can go bankrupt says OLED info if they dont improve their operations , so forget about 32 inch RGB OLED Panel 120 hz + how the hell they can launch even a 60 hz panel under 1000 euros ??

@@TechTesters I hope it is but i've seen them multiple times with different angles.
They are (almost definitely) reflections in the review panel in the video.
@@joncoy1852 no they are not, i've tested on shop, and they are light leaks, but as service said they are accepted as a defeat by the service.
@@dogusatasoy I meant in the TH-cam reviewer’s panel (look like obvious reflections), but yikes, that’s a bummer about your panel. Shocked that you had to deal w a bunch of leak on an OLED. This is why I’ve been w EIZO CG series for a long time for color-critical work (and Flanders).
I m really impressed by Oled panels and would love to have one as my daily driver, Are there any 38inch ultra wide Oleds out there? is Burn in still an issue?
So far only the 34” qd oled ultra wide exists. Im waiting for a 38” UW myself too.
As for burnin. It does, not much they can do to stop it completely. But you should try to take the usual anti burnin measures.
@@TechTesters so even the pro art would get interface burning?
What about the Asus MQ16AH portable oled monitor? Will you review it too? Been waiting for it since september last year and still nothing on the actual release date price. Except it's $399 USD so EU it's still unknown so far.
I think Oled production being Oled production low yield rates discouraging Monitor makers
@@adityaarayan2340 INNOCN has a tons of portable oled monitors so that's not really the reason. Asus has done this nonsense for many of years and it's not only oled. They announce it and release it after one year and 9 months or more.
How does this compare to the AW3423DW QD-OLED technology? I've heard that QD-OLED is as good as proper RGB monitor compared to WRGB OLED.
heard the colors arent accurate on qd-oled but it just allows brighter more saturated colors which is good for entertainment.
Love that shirt 🦕 best movie of all time
Thank you for that review. What would you recommend for me as a professional photographer + UI / UX Developer? This oled proart or the mini led proart PA32UCG-K or the pro display xdr (i work with apple computers) thank you so much
If you're into pro photography I would probably skip mini LED and either look at a good IPS or a good OLED panel. I haven't properly tested the pro display XDR to really judge.
Not seeing how this offers better color gamut than a QD Oled....or what else does a RGB Oled do better than QD Oled panels.
I need this x 3 for my triple monitor panoramic gaming setup >:(
Not something I'm interested in, but you know, watch, like and comment for the algorithm! Cheers! 🍻😎
@Techtesters - can you recommend monitor for mostly document use? I need to point out, that I am spoiled with OLED 16.2" 3160x2400 Asus ProArt laptop with such screen, but more so with iMAC 27" 5K screen which is sharp AF. In general, what I am looking for is 400nits or 500 minimum, glossy (semi-glossy)... and sharp. If 5K 24" would exist - I would go for it - I will not go for OLED on 27" or 32" due to backlight change and more due to 'pixel distance' that blurs text. I am dead serious - I am using my PC, and Mac and work laptop, 12h per day and computers since 1999, I need near perfect screen as I read, analyse, compose and produce text docs. Can anybody help?
Not sure which model I'd pick exactly. OLED is great but isn't perfect, sounds to me like you'd be best off with a really high-end, high-DPI IPS panel, but then those won't be glossy or semi glossy. Mac panels might work, some high-end dells are really nice (but again, no gloss afaik). Might be best to just go out and see a few.
@@TechTesters Thanks, I am almost sure that this will be 27" IPS Black by Dell or LG scree in 4K (in 150% DPI), was thinking also about their 2723DE version that is 2560x1440 but is 120Hz - not sure I want it - also EIZO FlexScan EV2740X-WT (which is two times more expensive: 5500 vs 2500PLN in Poland). I really like added RJ45 in Dell's and better contrast but I think that I need 550 nit, as almost every day between may and august I have near 100% brightness on my iMAC (which is supposedly around 500-550 nit). Hehhh I cannot go anywhere in PL where such monitors would be displayed - that sadly include - biggest malls in Warsaw :( .
Thanks for the review. The price is insane unfortunately.
RIP with that horrible flickering.
I recently got the PA32UCR-K. It gets the job done. I also wanted to ensure good coverage of Adobe RGB.
532 Nits right?
you will not see the true HDR image on this monitor
keep in mind that this low peakbrightness also gives low color luminance.
HDR is all about Peak brightness AND color luminance.
this monitor lacks both.
Not necessarily in hdr images with lots of snowy mountains sure peak brightness is king however, any other image where there are both dark and light elements on the screen this monitor is sufficient in dark environments. It has the contrast and the color gamut for true hdr. I have compared my s20 plus amoled display that can hit 1200 nit peak to my innocn oled monitor that is rated at 486nits peak. The colors in hdr scenes are more vibrant on my oled monitor .
HDR has little to do with brightness. What's more important, is the contrast ratio. You can have a monitor that goes to 1000 nits, but if the lowest output (black) is 5 nits, then it doesn't really matter. If the monitor does 0-500 nits, you have the ability to see all ranges of color better. All the first HDR videos from Hollywood, were color graded on very low brightness displays. Maybe 4-500 nits peak. Color depth and color coverage is equally as important. Again, if you have that 5-1000 nits display, and if it only covers 80% of DCI-P3, it can't display a true HDR image, while the PA32DC with 111% coverage can.
I have a TV, that can do 1000 nits peak brightness, and a monitor that can do 600 nits. But The monitor sits so close to me (˜60 cm or 2 feet), that it is much bigger to look at, than my viewing distance from my TV. So I almost perceive them as being equally bright.
Great review as always. The low 60Hz refresh rate is a limiting factor if you are creating or editing video content that involves frame rates over 60 FPS .
no it's not...clearly you're not in the professional industry...
Lol, there is no such thing as video content with frame rates over 60. Even 60 is rare fringe situations like sports.
No such thing as over-60fps content, 60fps itself is rarely used and most of the time it's utilized in demos to literally showcase these monitors / tvs.
The thing is though that in niche cases, such as viewing slow-motion recordings in 1x speed, it is kind of annoying. I want to see a production monitor like this that does 120hz and THEN I'll be able to say "alright, this is endgame" because then there will be no reason to buy a secondary monitor for anything else, you can just get one of these and do anything on it including gaming.
This monitor flickers, but why does the Asus website say it's flicker-free? Are they lying?
Literally every OLED monitor I've tested "flickers". It's just so fast that most people can't see it. And apparently it's fast enough for TÜV Rheinland to say it's flicker-free so brands can spend a lot of money on these "flicker free" certificates.
Those assassins creed earing
The price... BTW one big mistake with showing colorful graphics is that I, watching this on my monitor, also see colorful and wonderful - and the conclusion is - if I see it that awesome, maybe my monitor is awesome enough for me? I'd rather see how the desktop looks, the websites look, etc. than some graphics like that.
You can't depend on what you see in a video. You have to see the monitor in person. Or just rely on online reviews, compared to what you already have.
Asus’ ProArt line definitely looks interesting. I’ll have to take a look at this in person and see if this is my next media monitor
Best video mam . Can I buy it for less price .
Wait until 2032 bro
How much?
$3500,-
Is this 60hz?
Yes.
I'm not impressed. Removing the W subpixel is a good thing ... but only if it solves the brightness problem in other way, which it doesn't. And this monitor also adds a new problem that OLED monitors didn't have, because such a high latency is not only a problem for gamers but also for drawing with the pen tablet.
So this monitor is not for "Content creators", it is for "Content creators who don't need to create HDR images (or watch HDR content), don't need to create drawings and do not like to play games". Not many.
😅for an oled to have a cheap cost , a 22 to 32 inch size , 120 hz plus refresh rate , low input lag other perks etc wait for at least 10 years from now
hopefully in 2032 you will get to see such amazing monitors which is not at all possible in 2022😁
@@adityaarayan2340 Who asked for a cheap cost? , not me, I know a high end monitor will always be expensive (by definition). But at this high price I can not accept a so ridicously bad latency, because latency is just a question to include a faster micro procesador as other high end OLEDs have. Making it "for creators" can't be a excuse to cut costs on this particular area, specially at this price.
It's not meant for gamers. No one makes HDR images (except HDRI), so don't know what you're talking about.
@@akyhne So "no one makes HDR" ? in what planet? because on earth almost ALL new series are HDR.
@@javiej You wrote "HDR images". No such thing, besides HDRI used in gaming- and 3D VFX development.
Nah, it is Sony BVM-X300 V2 4K HDR OLED Critical Reference Monitor.
Hope a heart from Techtesters.
Why cant someone just make a 32 inch tv or gaming monitor! We’ve had literally every screen size and feature set, but what most of us are looking for. It’s so frustrating
Assassin Creed earrings, hehehe
Cool, now lets see one i can afford.
Don't tell this is not for gaming and we should accept its price while it doesn't support 120Hrz. 🙃😉
I'm guessing it's 60hz refresh rate? Saying it's not meant for gaming is such a cop out from ASUS. At this price, you can at least do 120hz. People who want high refresh rates aren't just gamers.
These joled panels simply cant do 120
New video = new comment
Thick bezels, the only Thick I hate.
👍👍❤️❤️❤️
how old are you?
Don't be weird
I think 32 is too large, my sweetspot seems too be 28 at 4K
😊
😁😁😁👍👍👍
It costs $3,500. Too expensive.
Not for what it can do and its purpose.
This oughta be good. Message me to not win anything 💥💥⚡⚡💥💥⚡⚡
Sorry, but “perfect hdr” claim in under 30sec when this monitor has a max of 400nits is misleading and had me immediately close the video.
Whether or not you’re mis-informed, or intentionally mis-informing people in the modern age is moot. I’ll be sure to never engage your content and sway anyone else away who shares your content with me.
Do better.
Welcome to the intro of a video. Where you introduce what a product is SUPPOSED to be, according to the manufacturer.
Then we talk about the test results, and confirm/debunk their claims.
“It was made for people that are after that perfect HDR” “let’s see if that’s correct”.
It’s not misleading in any way.
My concerns and thoughts about the HDR are described in detail later in the video that you can easily skip to by clicking on the HDR chapter.
But skipping everything and writing an angry comment instead, after misunderstanding the concept of an intro, is just lazy and unacceptable. And I will stay away from your comments.
Do better.
Lol.
@@TechTesters Nice... that come back is both sassy & sexy~ 😘
I don't think you really understand what the definition of HDR means. If you think it means that it must be able to do 1000 nits of peak brightness (or whatever), then you're wrong.
Back to you.
@@TechTestershow about you actually quote the words you say, and not what you think you said. I know what an intro is, I also know what a shill is. You never said either of your own quotes hahaha
“It was made for” nope.
What you said:
“This is actually a professional tool”
“Let’s see if that’s correct” nope.
What you said:
“Let’s check it out”
“Now this is not a monitor you would get for gaming. This is actually a professional tool that is made for designers, for filmmakers, for video editors, and pretty much all kinds of content creators that are after that wide color gamut, that perfect color accuracy, that perfect HDR, and just that perfect all around color reproduction….so let’s check it out, let’s go”
Words matter.
Do better.
@@akyhneI know very well what the standards and limitations of modern HDR are. The ITU defined Rec709s SDR standard as being pegged to 100 nits in the 50s based off of CRTs. I bring up Rec709 (a color space) in the same way that there is not a single consumer television that can display “perfect” (aka 100%) Rec2020. Dolby visions standards require a display to produce 1000nits with peaks capable of 10,000nits. Same with the HDR10 standard. Most all content is being mastered in a 1k-4000nit environment for HDR, this doesn’t even come close.
How bout I said, buy this monitor for accurate rec2020 mastering? You think that would be acceptable?
