wow volume is low did you review the odyssey neo g9 57 yet I tried this monitor it felt like a downgrade as far as brightness goes and 480hz vs 240hz was not a huge difference I think it might be best I wait for Lg oled 45'' 5120x2160 @ 240hz

I haven't tried the g9 57 as I use the 49 oled as my streaming monitor. It's likely much brighter due to being mini led.

Hey there. I still absolutely love the a90k still, however it still sells for $1300 and with it being 2 years old that's a hard pill to swallow. The lg c4 in a 42 inch regularly goes on sell for under 1000 and if you're looking for 42 inch, that would be my recommendation.

What’s even the point of picking an OLED when a matte coating mutes and dulls the rich colors and deep blacks that OLEDs are famous for? You might as well choose an LCD, save some money, and avoid burn-in concerns. OLED gaming displays should definitely be glossy.

The cleaning part is actually huge, I was a day one purchase of the alienware qd oled and aside from the packing scuffing the panels a bit, setting it up I smudged it a bit and when I went to wipe it off it got more tiny hairline scuffs. I ended up returning that one and vowed to never buy a glossy QD OLED again. I've had no issues cleaning the glossy LG OLED TVs, but the G80SD being matte is actually great for ease of cleaning.

The problem with this "glossy" coating used on most QD-OLED monitors is that it is not a true glass coating like on an LG TV, but a very fragile plastic layer. I would only buy glossy if it's actual glass.

The alienware is £940, the MSI/Gigabyte/ASUS/LG are all £1299, so its a crazy difference. But the lack of a RTINGS review for this monitor worries me, and a lot of internet doomsayers saying samsung is terrible.. matte is terrible... etc

I have been testing it with my QD-OLED SB95C TV side by side for about a day now. I thought the reflection during the day was not too bad for the TV, but after seeing the monitor I doubt I can use the TV during the day ever again. I don't really realize how bad the reflection is before this. I mean I noticed it, but it didn't bother me too much. Now it just feels so terrible. Also I'm glad that Samsung kept their smart calibration on this monitor, fairly useful. Samsung seems to heavily saturate the colors, personally I need to calibrate it down.

Great video man. To add to the pixelated issue you experienced, I didn’t experience exactly that, my PS5 while plugged into this monitor produced screen artifacts that resembled what happens when your GPU is failing. It wasn’t constant and it mainly happened going from PS4 Games too PS5 Games. It also happened when you’d pull up a game map or menu. Almost like the screen couldn’t handle fast changes. I didn’t experience this on my Xbox Series X however, I wasn’t able to fully recreate those exact scenarios on there so I can’t say for sure. Loading Halo Infinite also caused very minor artifacting that wasn’t necessarily super noticeable. After troubleshooting it to hell and back via different cables, screens, etc I came to the conclusion I just got a defective unit and returned it. While it worked, this was probably the best looking gaming experience I’ve ever had and my first experience with OLED. I will be getting a replacement, it was too awesome to not try again. Again awesome video man, I hope you cleared up your issue you had with the monitor.
