Don’t Buy an OLED Gaming Monitor It Will RUIN YOUR LIFE
PC gamers are probably better off avoiding buying an OLED gaming monitor right now as it could completely ruin their life. Not only are OLED gaming monitors incredibly expensive, but with so few options on the market you will likely have to make the tough choice between dealing with something you don't like about the display, or buying a 55" TV to use as a monitor which will require you to rearrange your whole setup.

Do you think buying an OLED gaming monitor is a good Idea? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
Thank for the video i also think the same and you should add about the potential Burn-in when gaming in certain games with static Hub. i think Mini-Led are more appropriate for gaming. TVs even though being big display seems to offer better and better value every year compared to monitor sadly. I'm seriously considering something like the new Hisense U8K and make a kind of Couchmaster setup.
have fun with the burn in you are lucky that you can but a new one every 6 months
I only play AAA games so 4k/60 dlss quality RT off is my thing.
I agree I just grabbed a 48 inch 4k OLED. It’s the most beautiful monitor ever to me BUT it was a grand and I never spent so much. And I’m so afraid of screen burn in so I’m always making sure to shut it off when downloading games and everything else.
This is crazy to me, I understand this is a video designed shine light on the pros and cons of these monitors but coming from a 27in 144hz 1080p monitor to the alienware 34in QD OLED I literally couldn't imagine a better monitor and I'm never looking back. It was worth every dollar. Personally I think you got a monitor addiction.
@Siddharth good question👍
@Siddharth I have qd oled too and no it does not, I play cs go time to time, it does not bother me but at the same time it looks AMAZING for high fidelity games like cyberpunk/ Forza. Also, for this particular model I use hdr 1000 which lowers down the overall brightness a bit to allow for higher peak brightness on parts.
I've got the AW qd-oled as well and I haven't had a single issue since I pre-ordered. Even the ones he pointed out. You'd expect first batch to have some problems but I think it shows they did their testing. Worth every penny.
but its a 24inch and qhd, the pixel density is very low
Yep, using the recent lg one for couple of weeks now and.. I just dont see it ruining me, I had QHD 60hz until now rofl, I dont buy monitors often, but I wanted something what can increase the atmosphere of certain dark and scary games by having pure black so I waited for such monitors start popping up in reasonable resolutions to size ratio and refresh rates. It achieves my goal brilliantly and I don't think I am going to look for something new anytime soon.
"I'm going to convince you NOT to get an OLED display!.... $999" Goal achieved. Convinced.
It's not even expensive considering what you get for it and how long it will last. You get a good Oled display and it instantly enhances your media consumption experience and won't be truly outdated for 5+ years. Or you can spend almost 2x the price for a GPU that will be mid range in 18 months.
@@AVerySillySausage It's $1,100 with tax and there's no burn in warranty at all. It's a rip off and the low brightness and the screen coating is noticeable. Should be $800 max.
Yup. Anyone paying over $700 for a top tier monitor is wasting money.
@@Kizzster The no burn in protection and low brightness were a deal breaker for me. But I still find it hard to call it a rip off, at least it's something new.
@@AVerySillySausage I'm gonna wait on ASUS but hopefully that Rog tax doesn't make it $1,500. Heatsink and possible warranty maybe more brightness too
Been on a LG Oled 48inch 120hz tv for 2 years now. Has been the most substantial upgrade to my pc so far. It’s the HDR experience that brought the 4K screen to lifelike images. I could never go back to anything smaller.
Been watching a lot of reviews on OLED monitors it really does seem to be one of the most noticeable upgrades you can make outside of getting a fancy new video card, or maybe switching from 1080p to 4K.
Oled really is amazing. Going between my TV and my computer monitor is night and day.
@@squirrelsinjacket1804 it’s definitely worth it even more so then a GPU. Besides, your gonna need it for your fancy new GPu else as well.
About a year and a half on mine, I wouldn't say I couldn't go smaller, 42" would have been nice if it existed at the time for the slightly higher PPI and I could get a little closer. But in general the big screen OLED 4k HDR experience is definitely a big improvement, it makes any game look much better and much more enjoyable. Best 1k I have ever spent on a tech purchase, feels like great value for money even at the high price. Then you compare it to GPUs that are more expensive and are outdated tech in just 18 months when another 1k+ GPU comes out, it's just ridiculous. My next upgrade for this display will have probably when 4k 240hz or 8k 120hz can be had for the same price as I paid for this and the hardware has to be available to drive it. Also by then Oled brightness should either be resolved or maybe it will just be microLED.
@@AVerySillySausage I have the LG CX for about 2 years now and I tried going smaller with the Alienware Ultrawide. I noticed I couldn't easily adapt to a smaller screen this time around. The 48" of the LG CX is just too damn immersive.
I use a Samsung qe55s95b for my 4090 gaming pc. What settings do you use on NCP? I use vsyn ON and frame generator on in game seems to be really smooth in most games.
There's no way you actually talk in this voice.
What do you mean? Seems completely natural.
Without further ado
So is an IPS or nano IPS 4K any good comparing to OLED ?
Stop buying TV's and calling them gaming monitors.
apart from the ports on the back, tv and monitors are the same thing
However while you can get a decent monitor for just about 300€, I haven't found a decent 55" 4K TV for the same price.
Also it must be a very low percentage of people that are buying a 300€ gaming monitor to watch TV in the livingroom.
@@Revytwohands-io6duno, not exactly
@@Revytwohands-io6du whoa not true at all.
@@JP-dm6gimy samsung 4k tv was about 300, its 50 inch though
Im using a 42 c2 as a monitor is it worth upgrading to this?
Do oled overclock well? My Vizio led tv went to 90hz from 60hz.
and now that there are so many 1440p OLED panels available between 27" and 34" around $600 to 750$, it is actually time to get one, geeks.
You might be interested that the screen films were originally developed to cover the old LED message boards in the late 80s. The old bumpy LED boards nothing like today. They came in a range of flatness/dullness and blackout. You are one of the few to realize it just diffuses the reflections.
the most chill intro i've seen you do in the last two years. i use the 42" C2 and it has ruined every other display for me
When I upgrade to a 5090 I'm hoping the 4k oled market will have more options by then.
I returned my C2 within 12 hours as it felt TERRIBLE for competitive PC FPS. Blurry mess compared to the 240hz IPS I was used to
@@mrpetebojangles21That is odd. When I play Apex and Warzone 2 on my C2 I often can see and call out stuff that my team mates have not seen. Maybe it is a settings issues / FOV.
@@Jaycensolo do you play on console or with a controller?
@@mrpetebojangles21 PC with a mouse and keyboard.
An OLED monitor not working out is a pretty low bar for having your life ruined, usually the death of a child is required to reach those heights.
I just bought the samsung Odyssey OLED. 4 days till it shows up, we'll see if you're right or not.
PS5 only. 27” LG OLED Monitor or 42” C2?
I've got the C1 with 65 inches. Can't imagine a better screen in my life and don't need another!
Hey man, is the 27 inch LG less blue than the C2 Evo 42 inch? When set my C2 to warm 50 it still is too blueish like a filter over the image (blueish maybe with a little bit green?) and lighting is too yellowish.
That’s because current LG OLED displays just can’t get bright enough. You can get the white point correct when doing a full calibration, but sometimes it will look a bit off thanks to the white sub pixel and low brightness.
@@GraphicallyChallenged is it better on the 27 inch one or is it pretty similar?
My C2 is freaking blueish with eye slapping white. 😅I don't have a calibrator but maybe I need to buy one. I tried some things like turn down yellow after setting it to warm 50, red a little bit up, lower blue and such things and some Rtings settings but didn't went through the full calibration for white point because I was really annoyed because of the picture and my eyes or head also made some problems. It arrived on monday and I was so so excited but now I am a little bit dissapointed and maybe I am too sensitive to a blueish touch. And maybe because my M32U is a low blue light panel without setting anything and I am so used to it. I don't know man.
I just want a 32" curved oled Gsync monitor is that so much to ask?
I bought a 55" LG CX last year for $1,000. I have it in the living room with a RTX 3090 PC build and a PS5 hooked up to it. It's looks amazing!
Obviously 4K would be a nice option to have but that would cost more and more to run it at 240z as well so for a lot of people 2k 240z is perfect at this size
Also every “gaming” monitor has a matte coating sadly
There is no 4k 240 hz, due to data rate on current protocols being maxed at 4k 144 hz
@@Kahyos we don’t even have systems strong enough to even properly make use of that anyways. Maybe one day.
@@stansmith7445The only future-proof purchase. 2K has nothing on 4K.
So in your opinion, what is the best 4k curved (widescreen or not) monitor between 27-34" you can buy today? If price isn't a factor.
Also wanting to know this. I have money to burn. I have a 60Hz 1440p IPS at the moment. I want to upgrade it in every conceivable way. Doesn't need to be curved for me... My demand is that it has to be MATTE. So many of these, you can see yourself in like a mirror. Nasty.
What do you think of Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 34-inch monitor?
i would recommend the samsung qn90b for gaming purposes as well without the drawbacks of oled you mentioned. i believe it comes in a 43".
I have it.
The biggest downside in my opinion is that it doesn't have Flicker-Free technology. So if you use it all day you may be very fatigued.
I use it a couple hours to play games and the rest of the day I use my other monitors.
@@FellTheSky I have the same one, fortunately the flicker does not bother me. HDR looks amazing, and the contrast is really good. If the lg c2 existed in my country, and on top of that was on a similar price bracket, I would go with the C2 tho.
@@Aennima The C2 is amazing, but I have a bright office set up and the QN90b is better in that scenario.
What I'm saying is that the QN90B is bright as fuck
I was glad when IPS panels finally became fast. But what I have missed from monitors is good black, even as a kid.
Not just that it's black, but LCD has such an unpleasant sheen.
I hate how people are becoming FPS whores in online gaming. I'm on a 60hz productiviy monitor with (I think) 8ms response time and still find myself in the 80th percentile of CoD players in terms of game score and game win/loss ratio. Whatever advantage you get from a ~20ms difference is literally 1-2 frames when running at 60fps; and I'm sorry less than 5% of gamers can measure a 1-2 frame timing difference in real time without their attention being directed to it. Even those that can see a difference, would admit that 1) just because you percieve the difference it only means that it is *possible* that one display showed information sooner than the other not that it absolutely will; and 2) even if the information was shown 20ms sooner, it is not enough of a difference to decide a successful or failure response at their competitive level in most cases and definitely not at the average 'competitive/try-hard' gamer level. No, the reason you're getting headshot with precision is because the other player's mouse + keyboard control is better than yours and their ability to predict exceeds yours. They could be on a 60hz display situation and you on 360hz with lower system latency and network latency; you'd still be fucked.
And lastly, so many people out there running around with network latency that kind of make their system latency reductions irrelevant. People don't realize that netcode means you're always looking at an interpolation of where a player is and not actual. Having better system latency can't hurt, but instead of spending $800 more on display + graphics card upgrades, spend it on better network gear and internet service (fiber). More than half of the time I play CoD; I'm running on 1ms ping -- no joke. Not ever fluctuating off of it. 360hz with 60ms ping isn't going to beat me at 60hz with 1ms ping. Tips: don't buy 'gaming' routers, learn how to set up a real router + switches + wifi access points, and game on ethernet always. Also, turn off any stupid fucking software that pretends it can optimize your gaming latency. That shit slows you down for sure, and for me damn near broke FFXIV network entirely. Don't even buy into those "we route your connection through our data centers and it's faster" either. It's a rare situation normal internet routing protocols don't actually find and use the best route.
Grats on being 80th percentile with dogshit FPS and input lag. You should at least feel what 144hz or even 240hz *feels* like before commenting on this. I say "feels" because HZ/fps also affects how fast your own inputs occur on your screen.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the MSI ge67hx or blade 15. They both have 240hz 360 nits OLED panel. I would have liked your opinion on this panel
Man, after I saw those release I thought for sure the high speed OLED would be one more common in gaming laptops and that's what I was waiting for this year. For some reason they never came out to any other manufacturers or models even within their own lineup and have been abandoned. I ended up getting a 240hz 16:10 Mini-LED with 1,024 zones and 1,100 peak nits of brightness on my ASUS M16 as the next best thing. The max brightness is absolutely incredible - bright lights really do make me flinch with how strong they are, just like in real life. The contrast is amazing as well as a result of the brightness and zones. But, it does have bloom in dark scenes as all LCDs will do, and the OLED displays will definitely beat the mini-LED in that regard and the grey-to-grey response times. So, I hope the high speed OLED displays come back to laptops.
@@RyneLanders hope so too, I think the new sizes 16 and 18 need some R &D before they can release it in OLED. But I'm so waiting for it
With Hisense's unless looking so awesome I think I may just get one of those. They just need to make a smaller screen. The u8h is awesome and suppose to be gatherin getting better this year.
I have an 83 inch LG G2 in my living room, along with a PerListen 5.2 surround system. I only use my desk for games that absolutely demand a keyboard, OLED plus great sound is just too great.
I recently decided to swap over to a 42" LG C2 Evo from my single 27" 4k and two 27" 1440p monitors, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. I have the C2 mounted on the wall just above my desk, and it is hands down the best display I've ever had. I was able to get it on sale last month for $899, and since I live in Montana, I didn't have to pay any sales tax 🙂
For the price, I thought it was the absolute best option because everything else was way more expensive and didn't look as good. I don't play any FPS games that would merit higher than 120hz refresh rate, so this tv as a display has been absolutely perfect!
Same, not to mention the built in 21:9 or 32:9 UW modes
42" seems so big for a pc monitor, how far away do you sit
@@berit9 I almost got the 48” C2, but after watching a few videos, I decided on the 42”. It does seem big at first, but I’ve found that I absolutely love the screen real estate. I normally sit back about 3 or 4 feet when I’m watching videos or playing games.
Whats your opinion on the screen dimming? I would be using mine for work mostly. Thanks
@@idratherberidingnow I've not really had any issues with the screen dimming. There are energy saving options in the TV that help to minimize the screen from dimming, and I only ever see the screen dim when I'm not active on my PC, and that usually takes a bit for it to dim. I also have seen that if it has dimmed and I go back to activity on my PC, the screen will usually brighten back pretty quickly.
As someone who just bought and upgraded from a regular IPS 1440p monitor to an Alienware AW3423DWF last week.... too late. Rabbit hole opened, now considering GPU upgrade for going to ultrawide lol. I love the change from 27" 16:9 to 34" 21:9 though.
Man,once you go ultrawide,you never wanna go back.Love ultrawide and yes gonna need good gpu.I got 4090 but 3080ti should be enough
nice i just bought the alienware a few months ago also i love also yes ultrawide is amaizng for PC i feel like every pc gamer needs ultrawide its so nice
I would totally get one of those samsung 49" ultrawides but not until they have a full 2160 4K vertical resolution and OLED as well.
@Johnny boogalo yup 3080ti is enough, I use an ultrawide as well.
I got my aw3423dwf yesterday I run it with a 7900xtx love it
LG C2 42" got it sale at 760€ (in Finland) for PC-gaming. 10/10 and it was cheaper than new 1440p tiny 27" oled monitors. Never going back to 27" monitors.
I got the "Alienware 27 360Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW2725DF" and I do have to say it's an absolute no go for me with the colour fringing. I can see it especially clear when using a small crosshair in cs2 and increasing my saturation (which I like to do to make the colours pop more). And it just buggs the hell outta me.
Aside from that it's a great monitor. But I will return it and get an IPS instead.
Hope this helps some, as I wasn't aware it would be that noticable.
cheers
what 4k game can u play at 200 fps ????
Loving my 48 inch OLED from LG Ultragear, 139 Hz and the HDR effect is actually brighter then HDR. lol
I bought a LG C1 OLED 55” one year ago, now all other monitors looks low-specs for me!! Im using it with PS5, now buying a LG 34” Curved for my PC with VA Panel.
That would be amazing if LG makes any 32~38” OLED curved monitor :,(
How do I block a channel this guy is unbearable
Don't worry... Monitor with matte coating is no go zone for me.
Now I'm using 55" LG OLED TV for my PC ;)
120hz, gsync.. For SP player? It's enough
Once oled, forever oled 😍
Same have LG c1 55 Oled for Pc and like who will pay for 27 2k Oled that cost more then this TV is crazy
I wasnt able to grasp how good oled was until i got one to see for myself. If you like hdr, an oled will make sdr content look hrd. Even watching this video i know what it should really look like. It is magical, it pushes your limits of perception, vibrance and clarity to the max. It is as if the blacks are magnetic, absorbing visable light like a black hole. Its not something i can express in words
I must be brain dead, I watch this video twice and I still don’t understand why not to get an OLED for PC gaming.
You aren't alone
This is exactly what I'm doing rn lmao catering my whole setup to a sony a95l qdoled tv I'll do 4k at 144 hz hopefully
I can't look at a monitor over 24 inches that is not curved, I've had curved for 6+ years now and I went from curved to a flat panel and literally looked like the monitor was bent backwards, hurt my eyes and returned it the next day.
With such a low PPI on the 45 inch, only being 1440p, it’s just not going to look good on static screens. It’s also 1700 bucks, LG is MAD
The LG C2 is the way to go. It has everything I want. oled, 4K, 120hz. Nothing else on the market has those specs at an affordable price. The only downside is that its a little big if youre using it mainly for a gaming monitor, I wish they made a smaller one. I mostly play single player games so 120hz is more than enough for me.
The KTC 42 is the same panel but a bit more IO and can OC' to 138Hz. Both are pretty slick but the 90w usbC power delivery and the KTC42 just made it the winner in my book.
How do you feel about it now considering we are getting 32 inch 4k 240hz OLED monitors early next year? Genuine question, not trying to be rude or snarky.
@@JoeBlow-ub1us I ended up returning it for the LG 27" oled monitor. 42" was too big for my small room, it was making me dizzy sitting only 3ft away.
About the 32" 4K oled's that's coming out, I'll wait for a price drop at $1K or below plus I'll need to upgrade my graphics card to a 4090xg mobile which is super expensive. As of now I'm good with gaming at 1440, 60fps on my 27" OLED monitor.
@@ADOS_DSGB you can pre-order one rn from dough (formerly known as Eve) for $889 with the glossy gorilla glass.
Can't go back to 16:9 after using curved 21:9 3440x1440 (LG 34GN850-B). It's a bit demanding on GPUs, but for productivity, it's great. So much so I'm getting a Dell 3422DWG for my backup machine.
OLED? Too expensive, and burn-in if you do a lot of desktop work. Not necessary for my line of work, although I'm wondering if they make giant OLED TVs in 21:9....
OLED for reading, work? Your advice?
This monitor is amazing. The matte finish is nothing and the pixels aren't that noticeable. It's far better than what he's saying. It's a 9/10 ez
I bought it this week, and it is a amazing screen! With the update its even beter
What about the Dough glossy 27” oled monitor? @graphically challenged
i have a 55 in LG c2 that i use as my "gaming monitor/TV" and i love it. i have my screen mounted on the wall on the far side of my bedroom and its perfect for my use case. the input lag is ultra low and you cant beat the screen quality.
I'm thinking of doing the same setup. Across from my bed with an extendable mount if I want to move it closer. All I keep hearing about is burn in but I think that kind of thing has been reduced alot with these newer models.
Gotta go easy on that bass, not sure if it's being deliberately boosted, but if not, it needs to be deliberately tweaked and reduced
Im on LG C2 and i had 14 day to return ,and to see a 4k diference i think you need a more 34" monitor and is 4096/2160 rez and a great hdr .I play space games +other and image is megatronic ^^.I loveit
I have the LG 27in OLED... not sure where the complaint about brightness comes from because I moved from an old TN BenQ Zowie 144 27in and this LG has been worth every penny to me.
I just bought one and see people complaining about the brightness but also see the same monitor in a bright lit room in other videos and the monitor is giving off a good brightness and not dim at all, might just be some real idiots lmao.
How much time have you put in your oled have you gotten any screen burning on your monitor I'm surprised you didn't mention any of that 🤔 is it working good on burn In?

Now i will only consider LED monitors and TVs, OLED is great for smartphones and tablets, that'is it and that' good for now!
+ new Nano IPS and VA have very nice PQ and perfs!
I don't get peoples obsession with high refresh rates. I care about picture quality and color accuracy way more
High refresh rate = less input lag too
I have a LG 27'' ultra gear a C1 and a C2. they are extremely bright so I dont know if he is just lying or what. My only complaint is VRR flicker. on the 27" which can be turned off
It's physics. To drive them LEDs brighter, they'll need to dissipate more heat. Even with placing them on an aluminium plate to improve cooling, there's a limit to how many one can put on a square mm. That's why you get a fairly mediocre DPI, which then translates into larger displays.
Waiting for a 32" 4k OLED with a high refresh rate, before I upgrade. I will also need to upgrade my GPU also , yah what I have will game at 4k but it's a struggle to get 120 fps
the 42 inch LG c2 is the best option, even if you upscale from 1080p.
ABL is a problem thou.
The Asus 42 inch OLED would be better since it has a heatsink, but that is matt and far more expensive.
Kinda fun that no company actually made the OLED we all want.
That's what I'm wondering. I run my computer at 1440p but I can't push 4K with high+ settings so I want to stay at 1440p/1080p. Does it look good on a 4K C2? And is 1080p better for upscaling to 4K?
I think they held off because they'll get 50% of the early adopters to jump ship for the new monitors when they come out--even if they're only slightly different and improved.
@@7evive I havent tested it myself, so I can only go from hearsay.
My understanding is that 1080p upscales better to 4k because you have 4 pixels to 1 ratio (basically 4 squares create a bigger square) instead of 2 pixels to 1 where you wont get that clean mathematical upscale.
i'm using 4k since my 1080ti and im still surprised that after so many years it's still too hard to run 4k
I dont quite understand where the market is. A 32' OLED seems like it would be the obvious next step for gaming monitor customers but nobody is making them. There are no options for 4K OLED below 42" except for one 27" which is too small IMHO and it is well over $1200. Many people go with a 34" 1440p instead but that seems like a waste of pixels to me, I'd rather have a higher resolution than an extra two inches.
I will wait for more OLED gaming monitors to become more mainstream and price are better. Great video man.
If OLED displays fix their inevitable burn in, I'll probably buy one for PC. Problem is, the taskbar is displayed most of the time, making it an easy target for burn in. I know you can just make the taskbar pop up when it needs to, but a few seconds makes a lot of difference (and frustration). Smartphones are slightly different due to them not having a taskbar but instead a home button or gesture bar. Generally my phone's OLED has performed quite well with minimal burn in, it's only noticeable on the notifications bar and the gesture bar. That's not to say that all OLED screens are perfect though. I own a ps vita and that has a OLED display, and has a lot of glaring artifacts like mura, greenish greys and burn in.
I love Oled but thats because I replace it ever 2 years since burn-in and screen brightness fading becomes too much for me after that time.
Got an 42inch lg c2 can't go back to ips now...7
I wonder if the PG27AQDM which is using an LG panel will have a less visible matte coating
I really hope so. I've heard that the matte coating on the LG Ultragear OLED is awful.
I have a 55 inch LG g1 and i regret That i’ve bought it so much. I’ve just asked 3 Times for RM and the Displays it’s simply pink on the bottom on all of the 3 screens. I can see it clearly on light colors as white, as much on dark colors as grey or black. It’s a nightmare
Bought a C2 when it dropped to $800.
I don't have a good enough GPU to get over 120 fps yet anyway.
So we should wait until 2024 to purchase an oled monitor? I purchased the dell/Alienware 34 inch oled and one for my wife. We love it!! It’s not too big and not too bright. The price was great as well as there are 4k hdr monitors such as the neo G8 that cost so much more than this beautiful and fast beast.
I bought the LG C2 48inch OLED over a week ago to replace a ten year old LG 37inch HDTV, which is still functional btw and is now used as my bedroom TV. It is hands down the best gaming TV/monitor I could possibly afford and I have yet to be disappointed by the LG C2, especially since I use both PS5 and PC. My next big project for the year is to build my tiny apartment's living room around this screen and build for myself a full surround system with a brand new AVR later this year, and build my own surround speakers. It's going to be fun!!!
What video card are you pairing that with? My plan is to do a full upgrade to 4K with a 5090 when they release and a large OLED monitor.
@@squirrelsinjacket1804 Currently still using an RX 570 8GB, not really suited for 4K, but good enough for 1080p. I'm planning on building a new PC later this year around an all AMD build, an RX 7900 whenever that releases and a Ryzen 9 7800X3D.
I got the LG C2 as well 3 weeks ago. For PS4 60hz on fifa23 I CAN NOT RECOMMEND it. Crossplay is deactivated so i only Play against PS4 players. Everybody is fastet iam so slow. Input lag at C2 with 60HZ is 11ms. I think its Not good enough. I change it probably for a real Monitor 32inch. Rabbit hole is insane 😢😂
I know it’s very super early for someone like you to have burn-in on the oled, but just wondering if that’s something you are worried about when gaming. Currently waiting for the Asus 240hz OLED they have revealed to be released this Q1, and my only concern is the burn-in. I do understand it will happen eventually, however I would like the monitor to be used for a good 5-6 years before needing to be replaced. I really only play 2 games (OW2 and FN, but I play others sometimes) and I play games for about 5-6 hours a day (8ish on weekends and stuff lol). Just doing a ton of research before possibly wasting money lol
I still use a PG27UQ personally. I've been waiting for a 4K OLED panel that's glossy and at least 32 inches or smaller. Until then I'll stick with the PG27UQ. It's not like it's awful, it's just not nearly as good as that would be.
@N7 Andy I thought it was a pretty good deal considering it was the only HDR monitor on the market and had a full array backlight before anything other than $3K+ TVs did even while also being one of few displays with a single response time toggle across the entire range. I'm more disappointed the PG27UQX never really came out. They announced it only like a month after I got the monitor and it's been like 5 years now.
@N7 Andy I still don't think it's worth it. A 48 inch display literally would not fit in my setup, I'd have to completely restructure my entire room as my desk barely has the space for the two displays I have on it and on both sides of it are filing cabinets that weigh over 300 pounds. That's just out of the question for me.
Plus those features aren't really a massive improvement to me. Yeah the 27UQ only uses 10 bit up to 98hz, but most games don't even utilize 10 bit color in a noticeable way. The only game I've noticed a difference is Final Fantasy 15 and it's pretty subtle. And 12 bit is irrelevant as no content on PC supports 12 bit color, there are no dolby vision games on PC so it would only matter for streaming apps which I personally don't use other than TH-cam (which also doesn't). Personally I just leave my monitor on 8 bit 120hz all the time. Also G sync on the LG isn't the same as it doesn't support LFC (low frame rate compensation). It means you're only getting VRR down to around 48hz while on the 27UQ you still get the effect down to around 15-20fps.
And pricing of course the C2 is dirt cheap now, it's 5 years after the 27UQ came out and I got it only a year after it came out for $1400. Back then the cheapest LG was still 55 inches and $2200 and only on sale for down to $1800 on black friday. There are now monitors with better specs than the 27UQ for $700, they just aren't enough an upgrade for me to say it's worth it. Besides, this thing is still one of the brightest monitors you can get and I do like a vibrant screen. Plus OLED wouldn't work with how I watch youtube mainly minimized as 1080p footage on a 4K display looks pretty awful so I usually don't watch 1080p content full screen. That would definitely burn in.
And I think you're thinking the PG32UQX. That was an obnoxiously over priced display, but it is the brightest monitors at like 1800 nits in some tests and is a 1000 dimming zone monitor. As I said, the PG27UQX never actually came out. It was talked about by them for a few years but never actually showed up. Even found posts on Reddit asking if it was shelved (I think it was).
too late, i just bought an alienware ultrawide DW, no regrets, it looks amazing haha
waitig for 4k 32in oled with normal pixel layout ideally with display 2.0 and 240 hz
Man all I want is a 165hz high refresh rate second generation qd oled at 27 inches and a flat panel that is glossy….is that too much to ask for lol??
i am going to hold out till holiday deal for a 4k oled high refresh rate monitor around 32 inches would be nice. 42 at the absolute most i would have to wall mount anything over 32 inches id say. but i will not spend over 700 on a oled though. i have 2x 4k 60hz monitors i will use as a triple set up with the oled in the middle for gaming is my plan. def holding out till holiday season 2023 though. they will be alot cheaper and way more choices for sure.
I have a budget 1080p 144hz. The black levels are so bad I can barely play Minecraft at night…
Definitely getting the Alienware QD oled. Maybe I should wait for the 2nd gen one?
I'm gonna keep my pc on 34 but I will be getting a 48/55 inch monitor. My current setup is 2 34 inch and a 28 inch I don't use so moving 2 will easily give me space for it. And I can't wait to see what it's like with MLB The Show where speed and size are important.
I have the ASUS ROG 42" OLED paired with 4090 and it is fire.
OLED burn in will be much worse than people realise, if you are an normie playing games 2 hours a day OLED is for you, if you are an hardcore gamer that plays 14+ hours a day OLED is not for you.
Got the QD OLED panel from Alienware as 34 inch Ultrawide... couldnt be happier!
I still hope that LG and Nvidia can resurrect 3D technology in the future. We need it back.
Honestly im totally happy with 27" 1440p options, EXCEPT there still is no glossy model. I am one of those people who thinks matte finish kills the colors of a monitor. I currently have a 42" c2 and it looks miles better than the 27" models ive seen in store, mostly just because of the glossiness
how does 1440p look on a 42 inch?
@@ADOS_DSGB not going to be super sharp, but still not terrible. The c2 is 4k though, so thats typically what I run it at. When im play some of my console games that run at 1440p120fps they still look great.
The Alogic Clarity is 27” 4K and glossy
@@TheEchelon but is it oled
im the opposite, i prefer matt and find it harder to find non-glossy finishes as all i see are my lights reflecting lol
I just want a 1440p 24.5" 240-360hz OLED monitor with a glossy screen! That would be my end game!
Very good input and review, eventually there will be a 4k oled 27 or 32 down the line
Eventually there will be 16k oled, just keep waiting.
@@DmitrySF It probably already exists, but only the rich can afford it ATM.
After going with the c1 I haven't gone back to monitors I even upgraded to c2
I lol'ed at the clickbait title and subbed. Congrats lol.
I have 2 42“ as monitors 😅 I love it! I work from this set up 3 days a week (2days im in the office) and it’s absolute heaven to work on!
for gaming i usually only use one screen except for ms flight sim and sim racing, where dual 42“ looks like real life 😅
I dont get it. So you say we shouldnt buy gaming monitor but get Samsung OLED 55" TV ?
They said the same thing about 144 hz and now I had to buy an xtx to keep things smooth
picked up a 1440p 240 hz viewsonic xg271qg from micro center. very nice monitor, no complaints
i've been eying non oled 4k monitors (looking mainly at the m28u and the g70b) but it seems there is no perfect monitor. for the prices they are asking perfection isn't an unrealistic ask.
i want to hop on the oled train but i'm worried about burn in issues.
maybe ill just have to wait a bit longer.
I was ruined a few years ago when I bought a lg48cx my first oled experience for my pc setup. Now I own 2 48 lc cx, 55 inch s95b, 55 inch a95k, and 65 inch c2. I will be upgrading my Samsung g9 neo super ultrawide to the oled version soon lol
65" lg cx was my introduction to OLED. Now I'm forever doomed to making poor financial decisions for the next best OLED display 😅
How do you use that many monitors? You have pc setups in multiple locations?
A 27incher that doesn’t require a remote to access the menu would be nice
Yeah that gimmick was the worst of all, probably second to the potential burning-in
Very cool, but can it beat CRT?
If all you are worried about that the matte finish won't be great, instead of buying a monitor buy an LG C2 TV. A 42 inch monitor will run about $899.00 USD when it's not on sale. Colors are vibrant, 120Hz, VRR, HDMI 2.1... what's not to like?
hes right. smaller monitors are finally starting to come out but even theyre flawed or not up to par (coatings and burn in). within a year or few there should be qd-oled glossy panels that will be resistive to burn-in in more sizes
They aren’t flawed or have any problems with burn in. They are just expensive.
What's a glossy panel?
@@stormzo6235 those are screens that you look at and it seems smooth and clear like glass. Usually tvs and phone screens. Most monitors use a soft matte coating that's supposed to reduce reflections at the cost of black levels, vibrance, and sharpness
@@dustinschulz5707 some of them do have minor flaws, and burnnin mitigation is implemented on them because it does happen over years. Still, there's nothing wrong with them. They'll just be way better soon
I think RTINGs proved that QD-OLED is more prone to burn-in than W-OLED, since LG OLED uses white pixels to give higher brightness sacrificing less the panel durability.
120hz on an OLED is about equal to 165-185 on a LCD. It's completely fine. Also the C1 I have gets uncomfortably bright in SDR. 115-125 nits with abl off is perfect (35-40 brightness).
Is that true? I been playing on a benq 240hz monitor for years and I just upgraded to the new lg 27 inch oled and it truly does look and feel faster then 240hz lol like I know on paper the lg oled monitor clearly states its 240hz but damn it really does feel like the refresh rate is higher then what it says.
@@IXICREATUREIXI It has to do with the pixel response time. You're getting a fraction of a millisecond with OLED while most IPS monitors are several ms.
@@IXICREATUREIXI how long did it take for you to receive it i just ordered it
@@LuisMartinez-nd7mk I ordered the 18th and got it the 25th
@@IXICREATUREIXI thanks for the quick response i cant wait to get it
I hate 4k gaming due to lower fps. Still waiting for a 1440p OLED monitor that's not ass atm. The first gen OLED monitors that are slowly coming out need work. One being glossy coats not matte
GTG is good, but you have to factor in input lag. No LCD can come close to competing with OLED on that.
It's insane. To add further to this point, I have the 27" OLED from LG and I tested it with a Timesleuth (Hardware based input lag tester) and a slow motion camera. The timesleuth reports only 2ms of input latency at 60hz, and the slow motion camera on my phone at 480fps showed zero noticeable difference to the eye between that and my Sony PVM side by side via 240p test suite's lag tester, PVM is raw input from the retro console and OLED monitor is through a Retrotink 5X in FrameLock mode at 1440p. Those two are usually my method for input lag testing modern displays.
I'm still perfectly happy using my Linsar 70" UHD 4K 60Hz TV, with games locked on a smooth 60FPS like a console.
I don't play any online games as my internet is so slow, and I don't play fast FPS shooter games, so the 4K TV works fine for me.
It has a great picture imho (it's running LG software) and cheap @ $750 Australian Dollars.
I only need the 60Hz / 60FPS for nice smooth gameplay, it also allows my CPU and GPU to run very cool.
My Gigabyte RTX4080 OC 16GB GPU doesn't even come close to breaking a sweat, same with my CPU too. It also uses a lot less watts too running locked 60FPS in games.
Cheers.
I love my 42 inch C2 honestly. It gets plenty bright. If you have to have a higher refresh then I get it, but for media work/gaming my C2 is simply epic.
until its burnt out
@@randy89555 yeah I'm sure it will burn out quickly at less than half brightness in my dark office. Lol
Don't be mad you can't afford one.
Really great advice, thank you!!!
