480hz 1440p OLED.. Is it FINALLY time to upgrade? Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP

Why is only optimum talking about the DSC issue where when you alt tab you get a blackscreen for multiple seconds? This will drive many people insane and should be mentioned on every review....

[@PhantomLex]

I have this monitor and I do not have the issue so it's most likely gpu/driver based

It's bound to Nvidia GPUs so if you run one from AMD, it's normal you don't have it.

Who cares. The 1-2 second doesn't matter. Who keeps tabbing out of the game wtf

@@mhrndzs No that is not what I meant at all. I am by no means rich, and wouldn't even want to be cause of my beliefs, not gonna talk about that right now but either way no, that was not what I was trying to say. I'm just saying that in general, 999 $ isn't that much considering most people spend at least that on a tv, some people spend well over 3k to a tv. While some may argue that tv will be used way more than a monitor, that is not the case for everyone. I rarely watch tv, and most of the time definitely goes on my pc. So I would say a 1k for a monitor that will last you at least 5 years isn't that big of a deal.

I will stop caring about fps when I stop noticing the improvement when I get more. 110fps to 165fps was absolutely noticeable, 165 to 240fp may not be, I might need to go to 360fps to notice another gain in fluidity for example.

but what about the AAA games? lets say games like cyberpunk, hunt showdown, ghost of tsushima with 70-90fps and on this 480hz monitor, will it be still smooth or choppy? if you have any AAA games installed, could you please test it out for me? disable DLSS, frame gen and go all Ultra to force the game to have 70-80fps, basically below 100fps and please tell me if its smooth or choppy experience

wont buy an oled when you have roughly 1 k hours of use before starting to have some form of degradation (burn in , image retention , etc...) especially when they are so expensive , at that price point you'd expect a monitor to last 5-6 years at a bare minimum lol

[@urkent4463]

i'll think so cause price is more irrelevant to my eyes than quality made for eyes and therefore 240hz is no quality it just has some ?seen no blurbusters pic for 1000hz? 1000 and 480 are way better than 240. and seen it live, kinda sad how bad my 4k 240 oled is i hope for an firmware update to 480hz, cause that's still nowere near the status of endgame or to leave it on the desk forever after 4 years you'll see it if you thought beeing sensitive to it before and really been 40 pics of a mousecursor isn't a cyrcle. it pretens seeming like one. with 80 pics we can decide again then

You can buy a 240Hz 1440p OLED right now for $550. Is that 480Hz worth double the price? I don't think so. Also, I'll never trust that dual mode feature. They have issues in some games. Some games refuse to work in the 24'' mode, sometimes the refresh rate refuses to reach 480Hz, sometimes adaptive sync doesn't work, It's a mess. I recently bought a 24'' 1440p 240Hz IPS. I'll keep using it until we start getting proper 24'' 1440p OLEDs.

[@crowntotheundergroud]

I'm assuming ur talking about the 360hz qd-oled. If that's the case, the brightness superiority is limited to whites. qd-oled still has FAR brighter colors. I wouldn't sacrifice the superior pq for the bump in refresh rate. This monitor is still marginally a better gaming monitor.

[@ItsBigEz]

Want it so bad

[@KaledTV]

Your wording is extremely misleading to customers, it goes to 265 nits in SDR, 450 nits can only be reached when uniform brightness mode is off and the content of the image is mostly black.

[@crowntotheundergroud]

yea uniform brightness mode just limits the brightness to whatever the full screen brightness is capable of im pretty sure. I would never use it, even if SDR really isn't meant for anything over 200 nits.

[@Cuthalu]

This is incorrect. Full white screen brightness is very rare in real world usage, so the actual max scene brightness you can get is a lot higher, more than double the full screen nits. For example, Rtings tests real scene brightness. With mostly black screen the highlight could be around 1000 nits.

[@KaledTV]

@@Cuthalu The point is that most people using this in SDR are not using an option that let their brightness fluctuates based on the content of the screen. That's why all the prominent monitor reviewers compare the brightness with these modes disabled.
