The firmware version should have been disclosed when reviewing a product. This monitor had firmware updates that increased the brightness.

So basically we have to wait few more years for technology to mature. I'll stick to my IPS for now.

so is it worth getting the 321upx version now? i currently have the 271qrx and honestly want the 4k panel more

When do you think 43" or 48" 4k 240hz oled monitors would be released?

Very interested in the MAG 271QPX E2! Going to wait for final pricing (and your review!) but that sounds like a better fit for what I’m looking for

Turns off all the safety features, finds burn in after several moths of hard use. #shocker #NSS #GFSF

It'd be interesting to see you try and warranty it with MSI after this test, and see if they cover it. And thank you for the heads up about the MAG 321UPX inability to update firmware. JB Hi-fi currently has this model for $550 AUD off which is tempting but I'll give it a miss.

@MonitorsUnboxed I changed my windows settings to my displays rated 240 hz. It was 60 hz. I am using displayport cable. My new monitor is the new ASUS OLED 240 hz glossy. My Elden Ring game then crashed loading up my save file. I tried verifying files and restarting my computer and the game still crashed. I then set the refresh rate setting back to 60 hz in windows and the game loaded up fine. So am I missing a setting? Do I need to change a setting in the game or on Steam?

Do you think the AOC Q27G3XMN is still worth it if it costs 380e?

Whata the difference between this and the PG27AQDM?

This market sucks, that’s the true. That said, this is the best for HDR. Better than any oled monitor. You pay 1k for an oled screen that doesn’t get bright enough for HDR.

I honestly just want an ultrawide 144Hz OLED to play my single player games.

To help anyone who has the monitor: DO THE REFRESH! I did the refresh 99.9% of the time and before I didnt, I saw zero burn in. Now, one weekend Path Of Exile got the better of me and I didnt do the refresh for maybe 18 or 20 hours and it burned in one part of the ui (maybe the size of two U.S Quarters). Think I ran the refresh once or twice in 40 hours over that weekend. Since, ive always ran the refresh and its gotten slightly better but its still there on gray or blue backgrounds. Im hoping the big "every 2000hr" refresh will aid in fixing this. Tbf, in reality its a non issue after I log in- but I can see it on my blue windows log on screen and it breaks my heart everytime. I literally cant notice on anything that isnt a full bright blue or gray background. Its just rough because I know there would be actually zero burn in if I just ran it around every 6-8 hours which is no big deal at all- just didnt respect the refresh back before my issue.

alienware aw2723df or ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQMR? what ahould i buy? or smth different?

Thanks for your detailed reviews and enthousiasm! Will you guys review the 27GS at some point? Im on the fence on that one but there arent any reviews out.

As a M0B101 owner myself, TIL there's a firmware upgrade. Thanks Tim! I'm in the same boat as you and also don't feel compelled at all to upgrade.

Just bought the samsung G8 for 750€, cant wait till it gets here, never even tried OLED

worth it for 1200?

If there is no firmware update for the qpx e2 , it's still a deal breaker.

Can we setting on VRR, ELBM, Oled anti-flicker and Gsync/Freesync at the same time ? Is there a specific framerate ?

Bought a refurbished aw3423dwf for 650 euros, it's so perfect i can't imagine going back to another display

So I see that text is still an issue. I had high hopes for this monitor to not have text fringing but maybe it is really just all marketing?

Who wouldn't pick the OLED one?

Bought the AOC a few months ago and loving it so far.

hi please tell me waht monitor is better in 2024 ? 1. ASUS TUF VG27AQML1A 2. Asus TUF Gaming VG279QM 3.Gigabyte 27" M27Q-X 🙏

This msi version is fanless, so there will never be a coil whining when spinning. Do the other super ultrawide screens also have a fanless heating solution ?

So probably a dumb question but I don’t know, looking at the AW2725DF. I have a 4090 GPU but I saw this monitor supports AMD only….will this be an issue for my GPU, meaning will there be a sacrifices? I have always had monitors that have both technologies, AMD and Nvidia, so I was not sure. Thank you for your time, hope to get a clear answer.

same channel, same cherry-picked opinionated Pay4Review info. Asus must not have been willing to pay an Aussie channel for a good review so they suggest buying a TV over a real pc monitor instead. For shame.

Can anyone suggest good color accurate Ultrawide 34inch monitor for Programming and Content consumption?

Tim should build a studio where behind him is a wall of various monitors

I really shouldn't hv bought a miniled monitor last year

what does he mean by sacrificing accuracy?

So glad you guys are still doing Monitors unboxed. In the market at the moment for a new monitor at the moment but I'm stuck. I want to get a 4K monitor, no real budget in mind but one of my priorities is how the monitor is for eyestrain. I've been stuck with ASUS for a while because their blue light filter option in the menu seems the best but I can never find anything regarding other brands blue light filter options. Also I hate glossy monitors which seems to be the trend for the high end models now. I'm also in Australia with you lads and I do feel we don't quite get the same lineup that the states do. Was wondering whether you had any insight on the eye strain portion? Thanks Tim.

Is there a reason to get the DW over the DWF if I run n Nvidia GPU?

I have dwf and its been awesome. No burn in and I do pixel refresh when it says

a 49" 240 would be great... but seems like only Samsung is giving that!?

Will you be putting out an updated review with the new firmware?

Can you review the new Samsung 4k 32 inch 240hz oled monitor

does this monitor support HDMI earc ? or any Woled support ?

i can see those AI monitors getting hacked

I really want oled high refresh rate. Its too expensive man..

I miss 21:9 I'm on a c2 42" have been for over a year. I like larger screens so the lg 39" 21:9 oled is interesting at $1000usd but also the dwf 34 qd OLED seems nice for the coating and price

Do you think it will be good upgrade from gigabyte G32QC ? I loved this gigabyte for its image quality , especially very high contrast but backlight died ... it was a bit big on some ocasions but in gaming and media consumption that curved 32 inches was awensome , in gaming really close to ultrawide . Only drawback was it's response times , some games was basicaly unplayable on it - for example sonic forces i could not play it , it was giving me motion sickness . I just wish oled 32 inches were not 2000usd ...

dont think i will be satisfied with 240hz. I currently have 4k 144hz, g9 at 240hz and 1080p 360hz. I keep switching between them all - i need either g9 at 360hz or 4k at 360hz to be fully satisfied for now.

Whats next after OLED, anything else promising in the near future

Thanks for the fantastic update! I fell in love with OLED panels after I bought an LG C1 TV a couple of years ago. Ever since then I wanted to buy an OLED monitor as well, but I work from home, so combining work and free time media consumption/gaming, 16 hours of continuous use isn't unusual for me. Spending that kind of money on a monitor, only to have noticeable burn in after a year or so is obviously not great. Guess I'll have to hold off for now and continue using my trusty IPS LG monitor.

For some reason, mine is taking forever to turn on, it can take up to 3 - 5 min :(

How do I update to the latest firmware if my laptop doesn't have DP?

360Hz VA XD and the refresh compliance 30% - 50% in 360Hz mode, terrible black trials and other VA shit... Nope, just let die this weak technology. OLED and MiniLED are future.

I think 240Hz OLEDs should be cost no more than 550-600$ to be compare to (Fast) VA, LCD and TN. We need mid range budget OLEDs.
