- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2024
- I've spent several weeks now with the top 3 gaming monitors on the market. The Zowie XL2566K, the Asus PG27AQN, and the LG 27GR95QE-B. These are all fast at 240hz and 360hz and bringing TN, IPS, and OLED to the table. I'll break down everything you need to know so you can choose the best gaming monitor for you.

Check out the Asus 27” OLED right here - new firmware info too! th-cam.com/video/Ja6WHD23D_Y/w-d-xo.html
Super cool to see the upgraded testing tech. Gotta love having hard numbers to compare each between. I'm not in the market for a new monitor rn but still super cool to see some of the latest tech
Perfect timing. I'm looking for a gaming monitor. You're my first stop in research
That LG one is gorgeous. Excellent production quality as well too!
My Pg27aqn just arrived today, Thanks for the review ❤ Love your work❤
In depth and informative! Megabanger as always.
Great reviews as always, love the matter of fact straight to the point. I wish this had some time stamps so I could skip around to what I wanted to hear about - I would love to hear your thoughts on the Alienware OLED 32 inch!
Good to see more content from you dawg, missed your uploads
I bough the LG last month coming from the a 1440P 144HZ IPS panel. I agree I wish it had better brightness. To add to your points, IPS gets brighter for sure but when you realize there is IPS glow and other imperfections in darker games despite the added brightness; the picture is far less clear on the IPS panels to the point where it's difficult to go back to them now.
I also pretty much got used to the lower brightness where to me its just normal now; adjusting the settings and turning off the power save features massively help.
nice to see a new video on monitors, lets go
Have an AW3423DW and I have to agree that OLED especially with HDR on ( Good HDR implantation on the game ) its like your looking out your window. The contrast is actually nuts and to me the brightness is whatever as I play in a dark room and never use brightness that's high anyway due to the eye strain it leads to. It always blows me away when I play something on it.
awesome content as usual! hello from the Philippines!
I am super happy with my 42" LG C2 OLED for PC gaming. Btw do you plan on doing an test for the new audeze maxwell headset? Would love to see an test and comparison with normal hifi headphones with Dac/amps.
New objective testing tech is fucking IT. Would love more content like this across the board this is awesome.
I also really appreciate the roundup at the end. Lots of information here and you really broke it down at the end. I really got some hard financial choices to make now 😂
Great vid
great breakdown, thanks!
Awesome video!
This was awesome to watch. Some really sick monitor tech coming out of these companies. More of this content, PLEASE!
I use the Samsung G7 Odyssey for my main monitor for about a year now. Have zero complaints so far. 10/10 monitor
I like your channel, have recommended your X2HR and if Zen DAC V2 vids to a few friends recently.
However, I feel that this video is incomplete without you also covering the Alienware AW3423DW and DWF.
Nice brightness config on that Zowie monitor
Great video, but we need your review of the Audeze Maxwell now!!
Hey BadSeed, killer reviews as usual my friend. Question: Since the Oled is a no go for yuh and I'm sure there is big and better otw soon. Could I snag the Oled from you? If not, it's all good. Thanks for the continued effort in all your videos!
I have the LG monitor and the brightness is something you have to get used to but the image and smoothness are unparalleled to anything else. I love my monitor so much. Also if you put the monitor into RTS mode, it does appear brighter and more rich with contrast
1st time on the channel and loved your review of the monitors. And I gotta say brotha your beard is epic😂😂😂
Asus XG27AQMR 1440p 300 hz monitor just came out and priced at 649 USD pretty close to zowie, will be cool to see a review on this
I'm really excited about the Acer XV275UP Mini Led monitor. Feels like the perfect monitor for all-round gaming at a reasonable price.
Nice comparison. I just got a newer oled tv and I’m all in favor. Next is my monitor upgrade but without breaking the bank. Waiting on 32” models to be released.
Love u bro❤️
OLED looking so goooood! Also flexing that last legend I see 👀
Great comparison. i'll Just wait for a brighter oled monitor.. I'm still waiting for a Audeze Maxwell review from you! (Oh you Just mentioned it)
You the most trusted tech channel for me
hope you good luck in future
fire review. This just means I'm still gonna wait until I'm buying my next monitor.
I want full HDR, 240hz support and 1440p at least (4k prefered)
Thanks for you video m8. We clearly need more 32" 4K screens with OLED or miniled tech. Loving my Gigabyte M32U (moved from Samsung Odyssey G9) it's best pixel density for 4K imho so you can run 125% scaling on it.. perfect for work and perfect for gaming (well.. it's just 144hz but still)
The first week of owning and using my LG48GQ900B I too was a bit disappointed by the brightness, but I realized that I eas used to crank the brightness on my other monitor so the colors would pop more. The contrast is so good on Oled that I now keep it at 70% to 80% now. I have no regrets whatsoever.
cool but how do I get that hoodie? It's rad dude!
actually curious what are some good monitor recommendations for someone who plays a lot of single player games?
I love the 1440p 27 inch oled monitors however im wanting a 32 inch 4k version of these soon. Right now for me my lg c2 42inch works wonders. And i prefer no anti glare coating on oled monitors.
@BadSeed Tech, great informative video man liked and subbed, let me get that OLED monitor you dont want😂
man we need a setup tour! Been tooooo long!
Damn the beard is spot on man!
I now would love to see if the „cheap“ 27“ 1080p 280hz asus tuf monitor can compete with these panels because its one of very few monitors wich offers backlight strobing with variable refresh rate at the same time up to 280hz
Another banger video! I love your production quality. Definitely one of the best tech TH-camrs. I really appreciate how you review things objectively even if you don't necessarily like it
I enjoy watching these kind of videos even tho I don't have a gaming pc or a PS5 lol
Apparently there is an update coming out this month for the LG that might help with the brightness. Also for the 4k full screen issue, you gotta delete a preset using CRU abs should be fixed.
I upgraded my monitor last month and was researching between these three monitors too 😂 thankfully, I reached the same conclusions and I'm happy that this video reaffirms my decision to get the PG27AQN
Yeah, its the brightest of them.
How bright do y'all need your monitors? I have the LG in a 4 season room with large windows in 3 directions so lots of indirect and some direct sunlight and never once thought I didn't have a bright enough monitor. The only time I had brightness issues was with direct sunlight on the screen but any monitor will struggle in that situation. At night I find myself turning down the brightness because it's too bright in a dark room.
@@danschmidt6206 Bright.
@@danschmidt6206 im thinking of getting the LG since the asus design is completely off putting for me. So “gamey”. LG a solid choice you say?
@@zerozerozero_0 The LG definitely doesn't have a gamey design. FWIW I am not using the included stand since I just dropped it into my dual monitor stand, but it's not gamey, and in fact had some metal in the stand so it had a pretty solid look and feel. One minor annoyance is the LG has this lip or bezel along the bottom of the monitor with a super reflective coating so in brighter rooms it's extra shiny and reflective. I don't notice it while gaming, just a thing I see when I'm walking up to it.
If brightness is at all aconcern I do believe the ASUS is just overall brighter than the LG. I am using HDMI 2.1 from my PC so the with ASUS only having HDMI 2.0 it would be a deal breaker if I would have waited and was choosing between the two of these monitors today.
IMO the HDMI 2.0 vs 2.1 and brightness seem to be the main technical differences between these two monitors and then it's more of a personal preference on the aesthetics, with LG being more subtle and less gamey looking stand, but with the damn shiny bezel lol.
I'm addicted to ultrawide and there's no going back.
Hoping for a 40 inch - 4K -OLED - 200hz - UW monitor!
Badseed tech the best love see this channel grow
I always watch these monitor reviews like I'm going to buy a new monitor for my office. Fact of the matter is, I don't use my office and likely never will. I have an LG CX65 in my living room, and have my gaming machine and work Mac plugged into that. 4k120hz is good enough for me, and I really don't see any reason to sit in a less comfortable chair with a smaller screen to do anything. Right now my office computer is solely acting as a print server, other than that I'd have no reason to even have a PC in that room.
Great review though, always good to see the options that are out there!
Man, it feels like LG monitors have problems with brightness. I had a 4K lg monitor and I sold it and got a Asus 2k monitor. I’m so happy with my Asus monitor!!!
I have the LG OLED monitor and personally love it. I always played at sub 300 nits brightness on other monitors so its not that big of a difference. The HDR on this monitor is INSANE though.
Hey bro can you send me one of those monitors pls thanks
I am using double 24" dell setup (working one, not designed for any gaming experience). I would like to switch them with one monitor that will give capability and feeling of working on two monitors. So its has to be widee. It would be nice to have +144hz, USB-C PD. Any suggestions?
I see the Audeze Maxwell box in the back. Review coming soon? 🤨
Do i go for the pg27aqn if i can catch it on a restock or wait for a 240-360hz 1440/4k oled later this year
Fantastic review. Almost wasted $1000 on the LG. Please keep making monitor reviews
I recently bought the MSI G321CU and I’m wildly impressed with it so far. 32” 4K UHD 144Hz, Freesync, 1ms response, 300 nit brightness, VA panel. It feels like a bit of a sleeper in the market at only $500 right now. Highly recommend if competitive FPS games aren’t your thing, it’s worth every penny.
300 nit isn't that very low for hdr content,hdr is recommended at at least 400 to 600 ?
For me I wanted something that was decently competitive but exceled at HDR and was flat. Ended up with the Cooler Master GP27U and I'm pretty happy with it. Definitely not perfect but it can hit 1000 nits in a 100% white window lol. I wouldn't suggest playing anything competitive on it with the FALD active but that's easy to switch.
Hoping we get a 27" Qd oled monitor, if I remember those can get brighter than lg's woled
Man the videography slaps. Was gonna look at the Asus monitor but HOT TAMALES $1600 is kinda nuts
I have a G7 (great monitor) but there is no way I will ever buy a new monitor that isn't an OLED. It is just too good.
I have my lg oled TV around 5 years and I think to this day I have no issue with burn in. Once I had it outside in summer under direct sun with nintendo switch. In the evening we noticed that the whole menu with games was burned in like crazy. Opened menu and made a pixel refresh or smth and then there was no trace of burning whatsoever
Because of that i would kinda trust lg with burn in
I had the CX on my desk ultimately moved it to my bedroom and got to 43 Aorus and I like it a lot even though it's VA but it has enough good features to be a keeper even though I find myself tweaking it often.
does the Zowie have a crosshair on the screen for aiming or add to the screen for game play? will this work with ps5?
i have an Acer Helios 300 i7 12700 3070Ti 16GB DDR5 gaming laptop, currently using my 77" LGCX TV as my monitor. Works great with everything except for Rocket League, which is my main game. Im looking to sell my TV (for about 2K) and buy the best, BIGGEST monitor i can buy, that will play RL as smooth as possible. Still super new to this side of gaming. Just came from console. Been actually still playing on my Series X bc RL just sucks on this TV on my laptop. Got any suggestions?
Brother imma need one of those hoodies that shits firee
This video is timely af. I spent all weekend thinking about picking up one of these three monitors. I just don't know which one yet. I'm going to watch this video and then go to bed.
Did you make a decision yet? I finally decided on the Asus, but have been waiting 2 weeks now for stock
My current monitor is on the way out, even worse today. Tempted to just buy the in-stock 27 oled
@@mkultra0 I did. After literally trying all three monitors plus the 27 ASUS OLED, I settled on the 1440p 360hz IPS.
Personally, I don’t think OLED technology is quite there on desktop yet. The text fringing alone during regular usage damn near negates any benefits from deep blacks offered by OLED. I say give it another year to see what kinds of OLED panels get released in 2024 if you really want to go in this direction
@Silver Joystix good to hear, I finally found the 1440 360hz in stock and have been using it for about two weeks. Absolutely love it
I came to the same conclusion as well, gonna see where oleds are at in a year or two. Cheers
The beard got upgraded to DLSS 3 straight edge generation yo! 😱
i’ve had the zowie 240hz or whatever it is for a couple years now (the one with wings). couldn’t be happier, plus upscaling games like rust to 1440p looks amazing and still getting 200 fps
What pc specs do u have to get 200 fps on 1440p in rust
@@SpoodrMin 3080 ti fe, 5800x 32gb ram in an ncase m1. even when it’s full pop i’m getting fps like that
Shhhh….it’s our secret. Let them get the pretty oled while we smoke them. Maybe the new 480 oled coming out later this year but not currently

im building my new gaming station , only the new monitor left and im dragging for a month now going back and forth , mini ips vs oled , well today you made me decide , i have too much light in my room and im streaming so no lights is off table , not the time for OLED yet my friend not yet :) maybe 6000 series hehe
I have the LG Oled been waiting for something to tell me about that stupid ass bug that it switches resolution thanks brother !! Where do I download this firmware
Great review... Asus has nailed it again with 360hz refresh rate in 1440 resolution...
By the way, can you tell me the name of the speakers on your desk? they are looking super kool... which brand is this?

What would you suggest for NBA 2K?
I was excited about OLED monitors too when it first came out but lost interests on it fast due to low brightness and potential burn-in issues. I'll be waiting for micro-LED monitors. Like OLED, micro-LEDs will have each pixel lit up or turned off depending on the media on display AND it will be very bright AND no burn-in issues!! It will take a while for this to come out but I'll be patient and my Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 (32", 4k, 240Hz, HDR1000, GSYNC, mini-LED monitor with 1196 dimming zones) will keep me good for a while. 😌
Why didn’t go for the Neo G7 ? The G8 has scanlines issues @240hz. Micro-led won’t be coming to monitors for a very long time, they can’t make them as small as Oleds. Mini-Led monitors can of course get much brighter than Oled but it results in blooming. The PG32UQX is reference grade HDR however the blooming is horrible. The G7/G8 are more conservative in how much brightness they push in a dimming zone so they don’t have bothersome blooming but aren’t that much brighter than an Oled.
You gonna be old untill you gonna have Micro led monitor
@@gencoserpen1260 For me, the scanlines issue really isn't that bad on the G8. If I'm sitting at least an arm's length away from the monitor screen, it is hardly noticeable. I own the first gen Asus FALD monitor that was released back in 2016. That one has approx. 300+ dimming zones and being an early adopter of the tech back then, I paid a hefty price of over 2000 USD for it. It has very bad blooming issues and super annoying fan but the HDR in games is superb.
Now comparing the Asus one I had back then to my current G8, the G8 beats it easily. OLED is still king though when it comes to contrast (I also own a 77" LG C2 OLED TV) but the mini-LED tech on my G8 comes very close and it is much brighter to the point I have to lower mine to 65 brightness or it hurts my eyes.
The G8 has to be calibrated correctly to take full advantage of it. It has all the specs I wanted for an OLED but no 32" 4K 240Hz OLED exists right now and I don't want to deal with potential burn-in issues... specially since I have a lot of static stuff on display when I use my monitor.
@@20puskinas1992 😂
Asus PG25QNR. 1080p, outstanding color, and 360hz. All I need.
Yup! Just got this as well for $360. Desk mount for esports desk space is *chefs kiss*
I wanna see 32in OLED panels.. 27in for 1440p is just a hair too small imo. 32in is the sweet spot. I just went to an LG C2 42in last september and I can't go back from OLED/HDR. OLED and HDR need to be experienced by more and I hope HDR Oled screens get cheaper for the masses
Per TFT-Central, LG Display is developing a 31.5inch 4K 240hz WOLED display, expected around Q3 2024. And Samsung is developing a 31.5inch 4K 240hz QD-OLED display to rival, with no expected release currently. Although the PPI on these is about 140 so that doesn't really hit your sweet spot, and they are ages away as they would probably ship in monitors in like Q1 2025 lol
They’re releasing firmware update for the LG to increase brightness. I have the panel and am very excited.
Dear Santa, I've been good all year most of the time) i want the LG OLED 27GR95QE😋
The PG27AQN was apparently $749 last month on Amazon. Wonder if it will ever get back in stock and at that price again.
Wow, would have instantly copped
Still 1600 EURO (!!!) in Europe, and no stock anywhere.
Lg Oled one is the one I got and it honestly don't see anything that bad about it, and the issues with your monitor in cod sounds like something is really wronf with your monitor? I play cod and imo doesn't seem to have anything wrong beside the vsync flashing. I had to turn it off. I came from the 4k lg 950g
I have color blindness. I play Pubg. I cannot see the black enemies nearby. Which panel displays blacks best? IPS panel or Va panel? I would appreciate it if you could answer me. Which panel monitor do you think I should buy?
Unless you only play competitive FPS. The best all-around gaming monitor is the Alienware AW3423DW - OLED 34 Inch. *For PC
I wish VA panel is also reviewed. For casual gamer and content consumer, I've been eyeing the S2722DGM and might buy it since beside that monitor the other good VA panel is the Odyssey which is super expensive for me. So for someone who hates not being able to see someone in the dark room and constantly getting jumpscare because i don't see enemies well in those scenario the S2722DGM is the best one for me right now. Unless someone who knows much better option. 🤣🤣
i just got a acer nitro 28inch 4k 144hz. its my first 4k, got it for $400, but its really dim. my hp27i has better colors. But this video helps alot!
I like my LG38GN950, waiting for Ark to drop under 2k, then I will have that as secondary.
Your beard looks super neat and beautiful.👍
i love my 1440p Alienware ultrawide OLED. first gen with true gsync ultimate.
For console you don’t need more then the ex2510s from benq. It is ridiculous on ps5 and series x. The motion clarity is outstanding
I’m not in the market for a new monitor but I am in the market watching the video for the sake of supporting Badseed
Does the DSC on the asus make it look blurry? Thats what has kept me at 240hz. I have heard that the 360hz 1440p from asus is blurry.
I tried it for two weeks and it felt grainy imo. I have the lg oled but I play in a dark room and have zero issues with the brightness.
@@TMart95 gotcha. Thanks for the info. I've heard the same from 1 other person.
I'm a simple man, i see a BadSeed Tech video, i hit the like button & get the popcorn
I bought the aw3423dw from Alienware and I’m blown away. Best monitor by far I have ever owned. 175hz qd-oled, hdr, gsync ultimate curved ultrawide. Considering you showed monitors unboxed I think it should be said he also said this is by far the best oled on the market currently. Not all people are in the market for ultrawide granted, however, if you are I highly suggest giving it a look. As for the people who worry about burn in, dell guarantees the monitor from burn in for 3 years no questions asked. I even confirmed with via a phone call with dell. All they require is a simple picture proof showing burn in “in any way” and they mail you a new one. Love it, wouldnt go to any other monitor for the unforeseeable future.
nice same here i just upgraded from a x34p acer to the alienware and im also blown away its crazy how much better oled or qd oled is. and i love ultrawide idk why people dont like it for me PC needs ultrawide i tried going back to regular 4k screen and rather have the utlrawide
Yeah man I understand the 4K dudes but I love the 2K ultrawide. I have a 4090 and just lock it at 170 to stay inside gsync and it’s awesome. I could never and will never go back to a non ultrawide monitor. People who hate on them tend to say “ it’s not supported on most games”. Which would have been valid in about 2014 but every AAA game including most of the indie games support it now, it’s a well recognized aspect ratio now.
Under this burn in warranty from Dell, you get a refurbished one, not a new one. Very important to know that.
Thanks for the great video, Mr. Gordon Ramcheeks
I play ALOT of FPS, mainly CoD with occasional NBA 2K, Madden and the Crew or need for speed. The zowie intrigues me the most but when im tired of cod for the day i dont want my other games too look like crap.
OLED panels .. Nvidia control panel / Adjust Desktop Color Settings and crank up your brightness to whatever you want, I'd try 65%-70%, the default is 50%.Try 60%-70%. I'd also increase Digital Vibrance to 70%-80%. Let me know. 😊
And destroy color accuracy in the process
@@houssamalucad753 .. You're dead wrong! The color accuracy is perfectly fine with the brightness increased. Your argument is like saying HDR 1000 vs 400 Nits blows out the image so don't use it. Being real CoD is 100% about seeing the other guy first. Neither TN or IPS panels can touch the accuracy of the OLED. Once done 1-click Restore and be right back where you were.
Buy one then I'll listen otherwise you're trolling.
the asus pg27aqn had umlb 2, according to optimum tech he says its on par with dyac+ if not even mildly better
have you tired the INNOCN 48" OLED Gaming Monitor 4K 138Hz UHD
Lg Is releasing a firmware update to increase the brightness.
It’s out and it does practically nothing.
@@Keivz use it in hdr
@@marktruong7937 I do. It can get brighter in the gamer 2 preset but that is inaccurate because the white point is too cool. In hdr and with the most accurate preset, the brightness is unchanged.
I feel like these days you need to have one strong Samsung 4K monitor, a 1080P 360hz monitor, an asus 1440P 360 hz monitor and also an OLED, that way there are no compromises, and you can just use whatever you feel like at that time. Far Too many monitors out there to just restrict yourself to one that's for sure. Personally, I went with the Asus 240 hz oled most recently, it's going to be a panel I use part time for gaming only. They say its a bit better than the LG version but milage may vary. My main productivity monitor is Samsungs 240 hz Neo G8 4k.
Have no issue with PG27AQDM brightness. I kept my g7 at 65 and 75 with asus.
Yup, I had this exact same experience with the LG Oled and returned it to micro center after 3 days. It’s just too damn dim. Also I could never get it to work I’m 1440p + 240hz because of the bug. Very disappointed.
