Is this THE ONE? If not, what else should be added? UPDATE - YES you can get VRR from the PS5, you just need to set the resoltuion to 4K on the console (which the monitor accepts).
You had me until you found out it was only 1440p. Oled without 4k is a no go for me. Maybe if they make a 4k version I would spend money to get one. I hope they make a 32in size, 27in is way too small.
I need some help I need a monitor but don’t know which to get this LG 27 inch 1440p Oled or the LG 32GQ950 I currently only play my PS5 and use it for both single player games and Modern Warfare. I’d love some help as I’m struggling to make a decision!
@@Leonardinho097 who said that? I feel 32 inch is too small, lg c2 42 4k is the way to go, the desk should be 2.5 feet deep, it's way more immersive for everything, 27 is so tiny you can't see anything in fps game

Great review. I picked up an LG B2 55" during Black Friday and now I'm obsessed with OLED. It's one of those things you don't know what you're missing until you have it. Been playing God of War 2018 via Steam with the graphics cranked and I never seen a game look so good. I will eventually upgrade my monitors to OLED in a few years.
Your videos are so high quality. Thank you, Spawn. Saw your review and decided to pull the trigger on this one. I hope the PPI won't disappoint as you said coming from a 32 inch 4K.
@@JTCPingas I disagree, this was a fantastic review. It was short, sweet, and to the point. The reviewers you mentioned would go so in depth it would most likely be over 2x the length of this video and most people aren’t looking for that.
Some people are missing the target market here in the complaints. It is aimed at Competitive PC Players first. There are way more of those who want to get into OLED Market than Consoles Players that want a 32" Oled at 4k 120hz. PC players prioritize PPI, Refresh Rate, and Input Lag. That's what they provided here with what Display Tech is capable of. 4k/240 isn't quite possible yet without compromise, so they are taking highest market share first.
i want 4k 120 not 32" inch tho simply just cus thats too big for my desk and i need dual monitor so i really would like a 27" monitor that has 4k 120+ with oled but it just doesnt exist i found a mini led which is the closest i can find and i cant even find it for sale anywhere
@Josegdumbniglet_1 you'll get it eventually, but that's an even more niche market. Im not hating on the different configs of OLED. I'm just explaining the Target Consumer.
You're right. A lot of people online write a lot of hate on 1440p, for me thats still the sweet spot. I imagined getting a 3090 or something like that and playing in 4k, in the end the higher framerates looked much better to my eyes.
Update: I have it since yesterday and I freaking love it! 27" 1440p OLED is simply the most perfect in terms of picture quality, pixel density and size! Money well spend this time. ABL seems also much less aggressive depending on presets but holy shit, very great monitor!
@@BlackOut300FPS I returned it because of the annoying ABL, yes, ABL is still there and can't be turned off. And bad grey uniformity. I'm waiting for the Asus version.
The 32" OLED 16x9 monitor with a glossy finish is basically the Holy Grail right now. If LG ever makes that, they'll essentially own the gaming monitor market.
PC monitor manufactures over the decades completely lost the ability to produce glossy panels (even if 'producing' means merely not applying a coating, lol). Sadly it seems OLEDs are not enough to re-wire their brains, but we can hope and wait
Good concise review as per usual. I'm curious to know how the anti-glare coating affects the vibrancy of the OLED screen (in comparison to one of your OLED TVs for example).
It’s due on how we create Oled panels and the limitation of it. For the short answer It’s hard to make oled smaller. There is a reason we are now getting oled monitor and it’s due to the new Mother sheet Oled which is the smallest we got it. Before you asked no Aoled is different and that tech issue is that it’s hard to make it larger lol.
I'm waiting for the Asus one which uses the very same panel. The benefit of the Asus one is the heatsink behind the display itself, which may make burn-in less of a concern as the heatsink will cool static things on the image.

@@wowitsruss You'll see a lot better black contrasts as well as the colours are crisp and clear. With a matte finish blacks appear more greyish if there's even slightly light hitting the panel and the colours are not as crisp as well. With glossy panel you'll see reflections yes, but if you use the oled panel like it's meant to, in a low lit room, that won't be a problem.
All the worries I had with the monitor I think you've addressed. I was on the fence about getting this one, But watching your video helped me make my decision. Just pre-ordered one, If they ever release a 32 inch 4k version, I'll definitely pick up one of those as well. I'm using the Cooler Master GP27U and even though it's 4k and everything looks fantastic. There is noticeable blooming and constant flickering because of the dimming. I can get rid of it by turning off the dimming, But then that defeats the purpose of getting the monitor in the first place. The LG may not be 4k, But it seems like it doesn't really matter because the visuals more than make up for it. I'll probably end up returning the Cooler Master and just keeping the LG. 2023 OLED!
I just sent my gp27u back for a refund the blooming on text and makes it hard to read in game + you can't run it at 160hz at 1440p or 1080p then it fails to wake from sleep when I have my pc in safe mode the added input lag when you enable local dimming was my biggest drawback
@@mirafu3481 It would be a better choice, But the only options are ultra wide monitors. I mainly game on consoles and use my pc for browsing and watching content. So I would end up with black bars on consoles.
I really enjoy all of your reviews, great job. I’ve been gaming on a 55” LG OLED C2 and it’s been difficult to find a decent monitor that would live up to the C2. I personally think the 42” C2 would be too large on a desk. I’m glad you explained that 4K isn’t necessary on a 27” screen as that has been a question of mine. I think I’m leaning towards this monitor.
Nice review of 2023 OLED monitor Chris. This looks like a complete package. Although I personally prefer glossy screen for OLEDs but I get it that it is essential to have a matte screen.
It's not essential if you start using proper brightness unlike most monitors stuck in 1999 with 250 nits and proper anti reflective treatment like on OLED TVs. Monitor companies still think the only way to tackle reflections is with milky paper. This monitor has a peak brightness of 1000 nits. Its average brightness performance is more than enough
27 is a good size if you don't place it too far away. My reason for OLED PC is solely because my eyes are very sensitive at night, LED always has this backlight even at 0 brightness and contrast. Not a fan of the stand with the two 'legs' taking space in front of the monitor
Ive been keeping an eye on this monitor and your the first to put up a proper in depth review so congrats on that mate, do we know when and where we can preorder this in the UK ? Also how is the HDR on this ? would you say its the same as the c2?
2023 OLED 😍, I always watch your videos to the end. This definitely the monitor for me . I gamed on an LG OLED 32inch in a certain gamers event and I loved it. I hope to one day get one. Thanks for the great video as always.
I've had mine for like a week and... It's *almost* perfect, inky blacks, no blooming, beautiful colors, the gaming experience, movies (sometimes when I get stressed in my office lol), I like the little remote... But no 4k display really is a bummer😔 It's not that big of a deal tbh but just knowing that this would be the perfect monitor if it had a 4k display and a thunderbolt port just feels like when you step on gum while walking and it's on your mind every step you take lol but nonetheless, I don't see myself changing monitors in the near future. I have the XDR Display and I enjoy this one way more (and it was cheaper hehe)
lol stepping on gum! I get what you mean about the lack of 4K, but the clarity 'almost' makes up for it. It's sharp and I too won't be swapping this (long term) for a while. I might review others, but this is the one for me.
@@Speedy94uru And I don't need a 2 story house. I don't need 2 monitors. I don't need my PS5 or my xbox lmao this is about *wanting* a better experience, there *is* a difference, just not a big one🤷🏻♂️ But, I still want it.
@@SpawnPoiint Yup, the clarity is amazing. Great quality👌🏻 And same, actually I think I'll just take this one home lol and keep testing whatever comes out in the future for my office. LG has my heart rn tbh.
@@SpawnPoiint Thanks for the review! I am really torn between LG32GQ950 and this one, I want to downsize from LGC1 it is too big and text is not clear as I would like it to be. Watched your review of LG32GQ950 and I really like it but it is a trade off that I am not sure I am willing to make. I really like 4k and 32 is nice size for it, dunno first world problems. :D 2023 OLED :D
27 inches is just too small. My PC monitor is 32 inches and I could never go smaller. Even though I don't really play consoles anymore ( I don't know why I bought a PS5 ) my console is hooked up to a 65 inch LG OLED C2.
Nice review, thank you. Looks like a great piece of kit from LG. Love the quality of OLED, the burn in risk is being managed well. However, I’d like to see more 3 year warranties, much like Alienware does. That gives a lot more confidence to purchase when you know there will be static elements on screen, gaming or productivity wise.
as a Odyssay G7 user (27" 2k VA 240hz panel) i just wait for 27" 4k OLED 240hz monitor for me this monitor is really excited monitor but it judt didn't worth to upgrade into it
Very cool monitor, would love to try it out but i feel that the 240HZ are kind of "wasted" on a console, it is more of a PC product if i could categorize it, it looks cool though. Also, i think the PS5 dosen't support VRR for 1440p resolution (right now at least) so only a series X/S could really take advantage of it.
@@TheOctopus6991 I just bought Gigabye FI320Q-X 32" 1440P 270 Hz, DP 1.4, HDMI 2.1 x2 and built in KVM (KVM is why I bought it). Pretty good but not great monitor (coming from a 42' LG C2 that was amazing but just to big).
@@TheOctopus6991 i don't i know, i just googled and it said that VRR isn't supported on PS5 for 1440p. You can play games on 120 fps though with HDMI 2.0 using a 1440p monitor, you only need HDMI 2.1 for 4k 120fps. Also 1080p supports VRR and doesnt need HDMI 2.1
I don't understand why they decided on a matte finish. That's a bust for me. Once I went glossy, I can't go back. The picture quality is just so pristine. Almost perfect monitor =/
Agreed. With the high brightness who needs a matte screen? Give us a glossy screen instead for OLED or at least give us a choice. The endgame OLED for me tho is a 32" 4K 240Hz monitor. In the meantime I would even take 120Hz. 27" is nice if you sit closer or have younger eyes but I now need 32" hehe. I do admit that 27" would fit my current setup better but I could always buy a bigger desk right? 😃 Plus I actually sit further away from my desk as I use a keyboard tray.
@@iknowmyname7 OLED's average is 600 nits. Phillips is planning a 1000 nit OLED TV. That is very good for handling reflections and combine that with the fact that the PC environment is more flexible with window shutters/shades, movability. The problem is many companies are starting to release OLED monitors at 250-350 nits. That is simply not enough and there are more revolutionary changes happening in the TV market vs monitor.
Great review can't wait to get a 2023 OLED ;) namely this one once Best Buy gets them in stock. Already being a Totaltech customer this covers the burn in issue. Currently use an LG 27GP950 and was wondering if the firmware updates the same just using the on screen controls?
It looks and sounds like an amazing monitor, but the lack of 4K does have me skeptical. I’ll probably come off of that hangup when I’m looking for a monitor for my future setup. Awesome video!
@@csch92 very fair point. I don’t have any experience with monitors made strictly for gaming, so this would probably be the perfect one for me. Probably wouldn’t even notice 1440p, especially for FPS
@@iAmJACpot as a monitor, 1440p blows on a 27". A lot of people with their shit eye sight are going to disagree with me on this, but the ppi on a 1440p 27" isn't there
“2023 OLED” Love the videos you create keep up the great work!!!….. Could you do a comparison video between the LG C2 42 vs the 27 GR95QE just like how you did with the gp950 a while back.. thanks if you can
I have this on preorder! Hard to tell from the video, but hoping the anti-glare coating isn’t too bad. LG’s seem to have a different/thicker coating than the Asus’. Going to give this a try.
Amazing review! Wanted to ask should I consider this over the LG GP950 or any other 4K monitor Just when I was thinking of buying a 4K Monitor,this launched, I specifically am asking this for PS5 and I only play Call of Duty and Warzone! Plus would you prefer this over the GP 950 for FPS games?.OLED 2023.
I know thats going to get skipped over, Same with burn in questions. Though this monitor looks insane. The burn in would be a issue for a desktop monitor and the icons etc. Ya couldn't do it. I had a LG CX and lightly was getting burn in from light use with the pc so that was out of the picture.
27" size in 2023 is the size minimum id want in 2023 even with the flashy tech, we just live in a world of 32" and Ultrawides / Super Ultrawides now and have since 2019 ish
any comments on how clear text is on a windows machine? i hear Oled can struggle with displaying clear text. thanks for the video Edit: just noticed the comment you made but looks like that was a Mac. would it be any different to Windows? also is this available in the UK yet
I was waiting for this video!!!!! Thank you for the amazing review! Happy New Year!!! Its ashame they put the anti-glare over it. It looks a bit glossy and ruins the beauty of it, But still a beast
2023 OLED! As expected, this looks stunning. Even though I agree that 1440P at this size is perfectly fine (and the fact you’re only really gonna be playing CoD on it), I do feel that the lack of 4K will put a lot of people off. Myself included if I’m honest. I was gonna opt for this over the 32GQ950 but as you know, I’ve wanted to go back to 32” for some time now, especially after trying yours out. When a 4K 32” OLED becomes available, I’ll be all over it 110%
If they can make this at 32" 4K and still retain the 240Hz refresh rate and all the other gaming features + glossy coating... then I'll pre-order... No reason for me right now to upgrade since I currently own an Odyssey Neo G8 which is still really good for gaming. I also own a 77" LG C2 OLED TV and the glossy coating just looks much better on OLEDs...
2023 OLED. @spawnpoiint, do you prefer this or the GQ950 for productivity? I imagine you prefer this for gaming but just wondering as I still have time to return my GQ950 and maybe switch to this, but for productivity, I think the bigger screen and 4k are great on the GQ950 😵💫.. and I already have the LG CX oled if i want all that contrast and benefits of oled when playing single player games.
Quite an impressive monitor, the only complaint that I have with it is the lack of 4K resolution. I know at some point in 2023 a 4K variant will be released, so I would rather hold off purchasing until that model is released.
Wow you got it already!!! I can’t wait to buy this for myself later this year, right now I have a LG 27inch 1440p 165hz monitor and I have been very happy with tht but can’t wait to upgrade to this oled monitor
Right now I use a C1 OLED tv with a 4090 pc and a PS5 and this is exactly what I wanted, 1440P high refresh rate, what ruins it though is the anti glare finish and it's a deal breaker for me. I hope LG make one that has the same finish as their TV's. Luckily there are many more OLED and QD Oled monitors coming so am in no hurry, it's just a shame as this had the potential to be exactly what I was looking for.
@@dn3043 Probably not at all to a lot of people. For me it ruins that deep contrast and muddles the colors. In some ways like smearing a very thin layer of vaseline on your oled TV
Is this THE ONE? If not, what else should be added?

The LG may not be 4k, But it seems like it doesn't really matter because the visuals more than make up for it. I'll probably end up returning the Cooler Master and just keeping the LG.
2023 OLED!
I just sent my gp27u back for a refund the blooming on text and makes it hard to read in game + you can't run it at 160hz at 1440p or 1080p then it fails to wake from sleep when I have my pc in safe mode the added input lag when you enable local dimming was my biggest drawback
Why not QD-OLED?
@@mirafu3481 It would be a better choice, But the only options are ultra wide monitors. I mainly game on consoles and use my pc for browsing and watching content. So I would end up with black bars on consoles.
Never thought I’ll say it but I’m on the band wagon on this ☝️ just because I’m in the same situation. And I want to experience this Oled 🚂
So I just ordered this monitor from Best Buy. I gotta see it for myself. I’ll have 15 days to return it so hopefully 🤞 all goes well.
I really enjoy all of your reviews, great job. I’ve been gaming on a 55” LG OLED C2 and it’s been difficult to find a decent monitor that would live up to the C2. I personally think the 42” C2 would be too large on a desk. I’m glad you explained that 4K isn’t necessary on a 27” screen as that has been a question of mine. I think I’m leaning towards this monitor.
2023 OLED. Thinking of getting this in 2024 or one of LG’s newer OLED monitors
Wishing you loads of further growth and success for 23 bud, cracking review
I appreciate that man!
Dream Monitor for Me would be - 4K 144 Hz / Glossy Screen / 32 inches (Flat) / HDR / VRR / Heatsink / Thunderbolt Ports / Speakers / Metal Build
27 inch*
Nice review of 2023 OLED monitor Chris. This looks like a complete package. Although I personally prefer glossy screen for OLEDs but I get it that it is essential to have a matte screen.
I agree, I prefer glossy over matte.
Y is is essential?
It's not essential if you start using proper brightness unlike most monitors stuck in 1999 with 250 nits and proper anti reflective treatment like on OLED TVs. Monitor companies still think the only way to tackle reflections is with milky paper. This monitor has a peak brightness of 1000 nits. Its average brightness performance is more than enough
Finally the real monitor for gaming. Perfect black, smooth motion and hdmi 2.1 support
Took them 3 years lol enjoy pc plebs 😂
Super tempted to getting this just want to see if someone can make a long-term review months later to see if it's truly worth it.
Yea, we need to see burn in results and wait for the hype to die down
@@FesteringRatSub there are already wide burn in tests for oled monitors and screens on rtings, this isn’t different.
27 is a good size if you don't place it too far away. My reason for OLED PC is solely because my eyes are very sensitive at night, LED always has this backlight even at 0 brightness and contrast. Not a fan of the stand with the two 'legs' taking space in front of the monitor
Can you compare this to the LG 27GP950?
27 inch 4k 240hz glossy screen like the c1 would be perfect for me. Its an all in one for me then. Im console and pc player
This is awesome. Would love a 32"
Same, 27 isn't tall enough for me
2023 OLED 🙏🏾 enjoy these videos to see if I should upgrade my monitor so they’re very helfup

Ive been keeping an eye on this monitor and your the first to put up a proper in depth review so congrats on that mate, do we know when and where we can preorder this in the UK ? Also how is the HDR on this ? would you say its the same as the c2?
As Usual it's just the privileged US that can pre order

2023 OLED 😍, I always watch your videos to the end. This definitely the monitor for me . I gamed on an LG OLED 32inch in a certain gamers event and I loved it. I hope to one day get one. Thanks for the great video as always.
Thanks for watching too!
How does picture quality stack up against 42" C2
THANK YOU for putting subtitles
I’ve got the 27 inch MSI gaming monitor but I want this one… looks fantastic
I've had mine for like a week and... It's *almost* perfect, inky blacks, no blooming, beautiful colors, the gaming experience, movies (sometimes when I get stressed in my office lol), I like the little remote... But no 4k display really is a bummer😔 It's not that big of a deal tbh but just knowing that this would be the perfect monitor if it had a 4k display and a thunderbolt port just feels like when you step on gum while walking and it's on your mind every step you take lol but nonetheless, I don't see myself changing monitors in the near future. I have the XDR Display and I enjoy this one way more (and it was cheaper hehe)
you dont need 4k in a 27" monitor
lol stepping on gum! I get what you mean about the lack of 4K, but the clarity 'almost' makes up for it. It's sharp and I too won't be swapping this (long term) for a while. I might review others, but this is the one for me.
@@Speedy94uru And I don't need a 2 story house. I don't need 2 monitors. I don't need my PS5 or my xbox lmao this is about *wanting* a better experience, there *is* a difference, just not a big one🤷🏻♂️ But, I still want it.
@@SpawnPoiint Yup, the clarity is amazing. Great quality👌🏻 And same, actually I think I'll just take this one home lol and keep testing whatever comes out in the future for my office. LG has my heart rn tbh.
@@SpawnPoiint Thanks for the review! I am really torn between LG32GQ950 and this one, I want to downsize from LGC1 it is too big and text is not clear as I would like it to be. Watched your review of LG32GQ950 and I really like it but it is a trade off that I am not sure I am willing to make. I really like 4k and 32 is nice size for it, dunno first world problems. :D 2023 OLED :D
I wanna get this, but scared of burn in
27 inches is just too small. My PC monitor is 32 inches and I could never go smaller. Even though I don't really play consoles anymore ( I don't know why I bought a PS5 ) my console is hooked up to a 65 inch LG OLED C2.
Nice review, thank you. Looks like a great piece of kit from LG. Love the quality of OLED, the burn in risk is being managed well. However, I’d like to see more 3 year warranties, much like Alienware does. That gives a lot more confidence to purchase when you know there will be static elements on screen, gaming or productivity wise.
as a Odyssay G7 user (27" 2k VA 240hz panel) i just wait for 27" 4k OLED 240hz monitor for me this monitor is really excited monitor but it judt didn't worth to upgrade into it
Very cool monitor, would love to try it out but i feel that the 240HZ are kind of "wasted" on a console, it is more of a PC product if i could categorize it, it looks cool though. Also, i think the PS5 dosen't support VRR for 1440p resolution (right now at least) so only a series X/S could really take advantage of it.
PS5 does support VRR now btw. They made it capable on a recent update.
@@cyril6164 i know it does in 1080p and 4k resolution but not in 1440p.
@@Th3FairyLaw isnt that because every 1440p released to this day had hdmi 2.0 at best?
@@TheOctopus6991 I just bought Gigabye FI320Q-X 32" 1440P 270 Hz, DP 1.4, HDMI 2.1 x2 and built in KVM (KVM is why I bought it). Pretty good but not great monitor (coming from a 42' LG C2 that was amazing but just to big).
@@TheOctopus6991 i don't i know, i just googled and it said that VRR isn't supported on PS5 for 1440p. You can play games on 120 fps though with HDMI 2.0 using a 1440p monitor, you only need HDMI 2.1 for 4k 120fps. Also 1080p supports VRR and doesnt need HDMI 2.1
Looks good. I wish it was glossy
Amazing review. Loads of information but yet straight to the point. Great work.
Thanks 🙏
Nice 2023 OLED monitor. I just bought a 55" C2 for my PS5 setup, but will definitely getting this when it comes out in my country. Great review Chris!
I’m getting the c2 to replace my current tv and won’t get a 27 in I’m good with my gp950
Beautiful display even at 1440p
We just want this but 4K. Please LG. Give the people what they want!!! 😢
I don't understand why they decided on a matte finish. That's a bust for me. Once I went glossy, I can't go back. The picture quality is just so pristine. Almost perfect monitor =/
Agreed. With the high brightness who needs a matte screen? Give us a glossy screen instead for OLED or at least give us a choice.
The endgame OLED for me tho is a 32" 4K 240Hz monitor. In the meantime I would even take 120Hz. 27" is nice if you sit closer or have younger eyes but I now need 32" hehe. I do admit that 27" would fit my current setup better but I could always buy a bigger desk right? 😃 Plus I actually sit further away from my desk as I use a keyboard tray.
Its because oled get less bright than traditional LED. Only QOLED comes close
@@iknowmyname7 OLED's average is 600 nits. Phillips is planning a 1000 nit OLED TV. That is very good for handling reflections and combine that with the fact that the PC environment is more flexible with window shutters/shades, movability. The problem is many companies are starting to release OLED monitors at 250-350 nits. That is simply not enough and there are more revolutionary changes happening in the TV market vs monitor.
2023 OLED. This is definitely on my list when I upgrade my current monitors!
I can't believe they are ruining these beautiful oled monitors with antiglare, at least make it an optional thing
Would be nice to see a glossy screen next time.
Could you do a vid of the best budget gaming monitor?
A bloody amazing monitor. I can see this panel being popular among gamers.
I totally agree!
the anti glare screen will make look everything shitty unfortunately
@@SonGoku544 Not at all. Matte screens are very pleasant and comfortable to the eyes.
@@lgquelhas lol good joke, if you like that blurry look maybe, i prefer an crisp and clear image
I love how this monitor has optic sound for my A50s
Nice, really nice. But 4k 120 oled @32" is what we need.
No 27inch!
2023 oled love all of your videos they just make my day
Thanks for the support 🙏
Great review can't wait to get a 2023 OLED ;) namely this one once Best Buy gets them in stock. Already being a Totaltech customer this covers the burn in issue. Currently use an LG 27GP950 and was wondering if the firmware updates the same just using the on screen controls?
It’s very similar to the GP950
I just bought the LG 48" 4kOLED gaming monitor. Didnt get it delivered yet. Hope it will be good 🥶🥳
It looks and sounds like an amazing monitor, but the lack of 4K does have me skeptical. I’ll probably come off of that hangup when I’m looking for a monitor for my future setup. Awesome video!
you dont need 4k on 27 inch
@@csch92 very fair point. I don’t have any experience with monitors made strictly for gaming, so this would probably be the perfect one for me. Probably wouldn’t even notice 1440p, especially for FPS
@@iAmJACpot as a monitor, 1440p blows on a 27". A lot of people with their shit eye sight are going to disagree with me on this, but the ppi on a 1440p 27" isn't there
@@longebane only if you sit 1 foot away from your monitor. At a reasonable distance that shouldn't be a problem.
pffft, 4k is overrated
Yep my interest went when u said 1440p
Incredible review, and I’m so pumped to be getting this monitor in a couple weeks!
Bought this on Prime Day. Held off until now. Cheers for the fantastic review.
If it was 4k this will be the best monitor in the life
“2023 OLED”
Love the videos you create keep up the great work!!!….. Could you do a comparison video between the LG C2 42 vs the 27 GR95QE just like how you did with the gp950 a while back.. thanks if you can
I’m
Currently stuck on deciding between these 2
I have this on preorder! Hard to tell from the video, but hoping the anti-glare coating isn’t too bad. LG’s seem to have a different/thicker coating than the Asus’. Going to give this a try.
Are you based in the UK? I would like to pre order to.
@@Buxtonchappy1 same but can’t find anything about UK Pre orders
Congrats, I really wish that, but for me, 999 dollars are too expensive, that should be reduced to half to make me buy, my country has lots of taxes
thanks so much for including the minimum and maximum height specs fam
Amazing review!
Wanted to ask should I consider this over the LG GP950 or any other 4K monitor
Just when I was thinking of buying a 4K Monitor,this launched,
I specifically am asking this for PS5 and I only play Call of Duty and Warzone!
Plus would you prefer this over the GP 950 for FPS games?.OLED 2023.
What did you go for
2023 OLED
I wish the monitor was 4k. That'd be perfect for a monitor with this many capabilities
Can VRR work on PS5 with 1440p? I thought it only was possible with 4K and 1080p
Since it’s a HDMI 2.1 it should support VRR at 1440p 120hz on the ps5
I watched this when it first came out and I was able to cop it today at 40% off msrp, super hype to get it, awesome review
Awesome video review! How is the ABL (automatic brightness limiter) on this monitor, especially during productivity sessions?
I know thats going to get skipped over, Same with burn in questions. Though this monitor looks insane. The burn in would be a issue for a desktop monitor and the icons etc. Ya couldn't do it. I had a LG CX and lightly was getting burn in from light use with the pc so that was out of the picture.
When will we finally get a 27" 4K OLED gaming monitor with 120Hz+ refresh rate? (And preferably with USB-C charging and KVM)
27" size in 2023 is the size minimum id want in 2023 even with the flashy tech, we just live in a world of 32" and Ultrawides / Super Ultrawides now and have since 2019 ish
I buy this for my PS5!!🔥🔥
Has this Monitor ALLM for Consoles ?
@@fastlap8344 My question too, would also like to know:)
2023 OLED. Thanks for the great review, Chris.
Thanks for watching!
any comments on how clear text is on a windows machine? i hear Oled can struggle with displaying clear text. thanks for the video
Edit: just noticed the comment you made but looks like that was a Mac. would it be any different to Windows?
also is this available in the UK yet
It was also a comment for like 3 inches away.
2023 OLED!!! YOOO I bought this monitor I cant wait for it to ship!!!!!!!!!!!
I was waiting for this video!!!!! Thank you for the amazing review! Happy New Year!!! Its ashame they put the anti-glare over it. It looks a bit glossy and ruins the beauty of it, But still a beast
The Best 4K Gaming Monitor is LG27GP950-B. The actually OLED is 2K
2023 OLED! As expected, this looks stunning. Even though I agree that 1440P at this size is perfectly fine (and the fact you’re only really gonna be playing CoD on it), I do feel that the lack of 4K will put a lot of people off.
Myself included if I’m honest. I was gonna opt for this over the 32GQ950 but as you know, I’ve wanted to go back to 32” for some time now, especially after trying yours out. When a 4K 32” OLED becomes available, I’ll be all over it 110%
What put me off is mainly the SDR brightness. Resolution is fine for the size.
@@xtrmlvr SDR brightness is fine
I have the 45" curved on the way. I have the 48" LG OLED. 2023 OLED looking good!!
If they can make this at 32" 4K and still retain the 240Hz refresh rate and all the other gaming features + glossy coating... then I'll pre-order...
No reason for me right now to upgrade since I currently own an Odyssey Neo G8 which is still really good for gaming.
I also own a 77" LG C2 OLED TV and the glossy coating just looks much better on OLEDs...
Incredible video! I really enjoyed it.
4K, 144hz, 27" glossy OLED panel would be my dream
same
Same
You won't even tell a difference at 4k 27 better off 1440p 27 and 4k 32 or 42
You have bad dreams I see. Have you ever compared side by side a 1440 and 4K at that size?
I own both and it doesn’t make too much sense.
Same
That remote looks clean. I wish the C2 remote looked like that.
Was interested until you said matte display, no thanks
It will certainly split people!
how do you game when all you can see is yourself in a reflection 😫
@@turboxide It’s really not that bad, and a black silhouette reflection is much more appealing than a washed out matte display
2023 OLED. @spawnpoiint, do you prefer this or the GQ950 for productivity? I imagine you prefer this for gaming but just wondering as I still have time to return my GQ950 and maybe switch to this, but for productivity, I think the bigger screen and 4k are great on the GQ950 😵💫.. and I already have the LG CX oled if i want all that contrast and benefits of oled when playing single player games.
If I was using it for work/productivity, I'd stick with the GQ950. So I'd stick with what you have imo
wow thanks for the super fast response! makes sense, thank you 🙏
The things crazy accessible compared to other OLEDs
Quite an impressive monitor, the only complaint that I have with it is the lack of 4K resolution. I know at some point in 2023 a 4K variant will be released, so I would rather hold off purchasing until that model is released.
For a 27 inch monitor I don’t think you really need 4k
how does this compare to a high end 4K monitor with it being 1440P?
We need a 32 4K OLED ASAP!
i ordered one and im still waiting for it to arrive, can't wait.
Do you still have a non gaming desk setup? Great channels, one of the best.
Yes I do. That’s behind me on the other wall now (but it’s a mess haha)
Look forward to see what you do. I need some inspiration for colour and lighting. Although guess you’d go grey 😀
Would be perfect if it was 4K. Not sure but I don’t think the Xbox Series X does 1440 resolution.
It has HDMI 2.1 so it can do 4k and 120hz
Wow you got it already!!! I can’t wait to buy this for myself later this year, right now I have a LG 27inch 1440p 165hz monitor and I have been very happy with tht but can’t wait to upgrade to this oled monitor
Nice one, which LG do you currently have?
@@SpawnPoiint I have the LG 27GP850-B and I love it. my pc with 5800x3d n 3080ti can push enough performance at 1440p
Right now I use a C1 OLED tv with a 4090 pc and a PS5 and this is exactly what I wanted, 1440P high refresh rate, what ruins it though is the anti glare finish and it's a deal breaker for me. I hope LG make one that has the same finish as their TV's. Luckily there are many more OLED and QD Oled monitors coming so am in no hurry, it's just a shame as this had the potential to be exactly what I was looking for.
is it such a big deal?
@@dn3043 Probably not at all to a lot of people. For me it ruins that deep contrast and muddles the colors. In some ways like smearing a very thin layer of vaseline on your oled TV
