[@kylelang9878]

I know it seems that way, but we've had massive OLED panels with 120Hz refresh rates for several years in the TV space. This is just the market responding to the increased demand for high-end monitors in the PC/gaming space.

because PC monitor market was stagnant for a very long time, hell even midrange smartphones from 6+ years ago had OLED screens

Oled tvs have been a thing for years, people have just been waiting for them to hit the monitor market but since tvs are more profitable than gaming monitors it takes time. My IPS is shit when it's nighttime in DayZ, i wish i had a OLED....

​@@perspectiveandthinking4k and UHD are the same descriptor. Ultra High Definition was literally designed to be the "mainstream" term for 4k resolution panels. Also, the bleeding edge is ALWAYS a bad value for the money. But you don't make progress and make cheaper versions of the better things without first making the better things. Plus, plenty of people can tell a difference between 1440p and 4k at 32 inches. I could probably easily do it, given I'm incredibly used to my 1440p panels.

UHD was also originally introduced alongside the rise of 4k TVs, so yes, you don't know what you're talking about. Nowhere did I say that 8k was practical or meaningful.

32inch at 4k is actually one of the perfect monitor size for me, the reason why it took me this long to get one (I got the MSI version of this same panel) is that there isn't any good option that don't compromised in one way or another, its either 1440p high refresh, 4k at 60hz or 4k high refresh with poor contrast/IPS glow/black light bleed, there are MiniLed version of the same spec but a lot of them don't tune LD well or cost a fortune(3k usd and up).

I cannot wait to see these OLED monitors become more affordable, right now they are outside of the general publics reach due to obscene costs. But that doesn't mean the tech or the that the future isn't bright, it is, and so is OLED. It reminds me of the good old days of CRT. Gaming, production, all on same package... HDR... Some of the features have been left out on games because it didn't seem plausible to have it ever come to monitors for affordable price. Few years from now, and I can almost guarantee OLED monitors to be the norm, I hope the production is being ramped up. I wonder what BenQ is cooking with this lmao.

Have the burn in be completely eliminated.

My photomonitor fron 2011 is matte. My gaming monitor from 2017 is matte. Glossy is just the new buzzword as matte was back then. And matte coatings today will most likely be much better than 5 years ago. But again, glossy will be better for sure. But matte wont be bad.

32" really is the new 27". I'm typically ahead of market trends and have many many hours behind top-end 4k monitors in formats of 42", 32" and 27". 32" really does seem to be the "last stop" for size. UNLESS you have a deep desk of at least 36" deep then maybe go bigger than 32. But for the majority of users 32" is the most you'll ever need. I just wish more 32" came with a small curve of at least 1500.

[@griffin1366]

It's all personal preference. I much prefer 24" and am hanging out for a 24" OLED.

32" is just too big and 4k 240 hz is even with a 4090 at max settings with the least games possible. 27" 1440p is the way to go. And if it is too small, move it closer! Then you have your 32".

[@Shadowsmoke11]

I completely agree. 32'' is too big for gaming on a desk. 27'' is the maximum size for it to be ideal.

[@peoplez129]

4K is kind of lame. Only good for 4K movies. Ironically, 240Hz on 4K actually looks worse than 240Hz on 2K, because since the pixels are smaller on 4K, the speed of things at that refresh rate don't travel physically as far in the same timeframe, making 4K at 240Hz actually less smooth because it has to skip more pixels for the pixel changes to travel the same distance. That's even if both screens are the same size, and it gets even worse if the 4K screen is even bigger than the 2K screen.

[@AquilaeYT]

Glossy screen is literally better than matte for me, there is no question of "matte is better because..." glossy doesn't restrict your perception of colors, it's more pop, sharper, it's more pleasing to the eye to focus the text, etc. The important question is : how do you not see the difference between the two? I absolutely don't understand your point of view.

[@Shadowsmoke11]

I don’t think Optimum is the type of guy who cares if the screen looks good or not. He prefers just more frames and performance over visuals. That’s why I think his brain is kinda rigged that he isn’t able to notice the difference between glossy or matte. He lacks the attention for detail.

I've had 4 OLED screens, Samsung, LG and the latest is the 240hz 27-inch from Asus. One thing is constant with OLED screens: burn-in. It's literally the best screen technology in terms of color, fluidity, just OLED screens are extremely pleasant out of the box, but buying an OLED screen means buying a screen that will only last a few months, and that's the problem with tests that aren't done long enough over time. Burn-in is caused by a static image that lasts too long, and there are technologies included in the screens and techniques of use to avoid the problem, but they prove to be totally useless. The simple fact that game ATHs are static can cause the problem, and I've had it on literally every screen I've owned. I strongly advise against buying an OLED screen, I don't think these screens should even be named as GAMING. If you play several hours a day, your screens won't last long. I've since switched to a Samsung VA panel for solo gaming and a TN Zowie panel for competitive, I'm really disappointed with OLED screens I hope these problems will be solved one day.

[@rcdarkangel]

If you're burning every OLED out you own in 3-4 months you'd literally have to be the unluckiest human being alive. A literal walking anomaly.

@@MrDutch1e but how ? Have you tested it? There are calculators and I have the Samsung g7 27“ and g8 32“ and took even a picture side by side, if I send it to you u cannot say which one is 27 & 32“ Calculators say 8cm, but I’ve measured only 6cm because with 8cm difference the 32“ looked smaller

27in is too small for 4k though, just stick to 1440 at that size

it is the best explanation ever people complain that Oled needs to be glossy and it is huge difference vs anti glare... it is only placebo.

@optimum Does this monitor have a resolution change to 24 inches and 27 inches?

[@delightedbylight9893]

Yes, i saw in another channel vid the guy making 27 and 24 inch from the monitor's menu. I was amzed and happy to see this feat added to menu

[@GamersSanctum]

The quality of your vids is next level. You do such a good job, plus no sponsors! The direction of monitors is nothing but good for us, the monitor market has been stagnant for almost a decade and it's moving so rapidly now. I'm most excited for the 27" 1440p 480hz oled.

This year was finally the time I would consider upgrading my PG279Q since the only upgrade I would find interesting is if it was OLED and had a significant Hz increase. Was unsure to decide between OLED 4K 240 or OLED 2K 360. I decided to go with the 2K 360 since I find 32 inch too big and mainly play competitive shooters. Also I personally don’t really care for 4K that much and prefer smoothness over resolution so 4K didn’t really make sense. Also my 3080 probably is better suited for 2K as well. I ordered the Alienware AW2725DF as soon as it became available in my country (last Friday). I’ve only had the time yet to test it for about 2 hours, but I’m loving it so far. The picture quality definitely is an upgrade and the jump from 165 to 360 Hz might not be as insane as 60 to 144, it’s definitely noticeable. I remember your video where you tested the 540 Hz monitor and said “it felt like looking through a window”. That is exactly what I feel like using this monitor. Anyway I’m excited to further test it and go back to some old games I enjoyed to see how it compares :)

[@JayBeeEff1]

Have been looking forward to this monitor since it was announced last August, I'll be hoping to get one as soon as it comes to Europe. Just ticks all the boxes for me

As an esport lunatic with crappy eyesight who has gamed on 32" 1080p for the past 5+ years, the experience isn't bad for me. Being able to do both 480hz @ 1080p and 240hz @ 4k will be actual endgame for me. Only things to look forward to after this batch of monitors (4k 240hz oled 32" herd) is more brightness, better burn in protection. Enjoyable succinct review.

[@dano1242]

this is what I was looking for thank you! I wanted a good editing and gaming and it was really hard to find a higher refresh rate

[@JYoutubes10]

I appreciate the work you put into your channel. Stoked about these 4k OLEDs, but I'm waiting for the Aorus release before I make a decision on one.

[@XLR8bg]

For those not liking the 1300 USD price tag - consider getting a 42" OLED TV. I did that as I didn't want to wait for those 32" 4K OLED monitors and I'm definitely not replacing it now, especially at those prices... My LG 42" C3 costed me like 900 USD with the delivery included, and the fact it is a TV comes with a bunch of benefits... the only drawback IMO is the 120Hz instead of 240Hz, but I'm personally fine with that.

[@dejanbusse805]

Currently running a 240Hz BenQ XL 2456. The coulours really arent good but for Gaming its still great. I never felt the need to Upgrade until now. I feel like the PG32UCDM really has become the next Evolution of Gaming Monitors.

Cool monitor, but 240hz is a bit much. I've never noticed a huge difference between 120 and 240. I'd rather have 120hz to save money.

1440p oled Ultrawide is one im waiting to buy

[@TheDragonReds]

They added on this monitor "ASPECT RATIO CONTROL" so u can change it between 24.5” (esports mode) and 27” imagery, have u tried it? I'm waiting for 4k 240hz/1080p 480hz version :P

[@JtwasLuck]

I would be more interested in a dual mode 27" OLED, sadly this just isn't it. I'll wait for a 27" 4K OLED in the future. I am however interested in the soon to be released 480Hz 1440P OLED panel, I really hope they try to get BFI to work at 240Hz.

[@gssngr]

I always thought Optimum was a man of culture, and playing BF1 in 2024 further confirms that.

[@RAZGR1Z]

The only problem is now GPU's and game developers have to catch up to these specs. A 4090 isn't good enough and I suspect a 5090 won't be either.

[@Hipsterjes]

Love to see you throwing in battlefield 1 in the showcasing. Looks amazing on this display

[@Ray-dl5mp]

Sounds like a perfect monitor that is also super expensive. The only issue in terms of gaming is, you could argue for single player games you might as well get a bigger high quality hdr tv. Also this monitor is so expensive it’s basically already in that price range. But I agree this monitor is great if you’re looking for an all in one solution to gaming on a desk or working. We probably won’t need anything better than this for single player gaming. Multiplayer I guess we can always get crazy with hz increases over time for perfect clarity.

[@vengefulancient]

"for single player games you might as well get a bigger high quality hdr tv" Why?

[@rcdarkangel]

I have access to a 65" OLED in my living room. I far prefer to game on my 32" HDR display at my desk. My desk is cosy as fuck.

[@Ray-dl5mp]

@@vengefulancient it’s very cinematic to have a big screen. Isn’t it similar to playing on a console? How many people play Spiderman or God of War on a monitor instead of a tv? But yea of course high quality 32 inch monitors can work great for it too. I might get a 27 inch but I might go the 1440p 360 hz variety. Hard decision.

[@vengefulancient]

​@5mp24" 1440p 165 Hz here. If cinematic means "big, low framerate, and blurry", I don't want it. "Similar to playing on a console" isn't a compliment lmao. Pixel density and framerate trump panel size any day. Single player games are no different.

[@Ray-dl5mp]

@@vengefulancient good point. I decided to go with 27 inch 1440p OLED. Should be great for all games. Looking forward to it. Should also fit my specs well since I have a great cpu and 4070 gpu. I considered 4k but I think I can do that next time when more of the just below highest end gpus can handle it better.

[@iiimgdiii]

Why are none of these company's not looking into making 24inch 1440p High refresh IPS, OLED monitors. If you're someone like me, who sits less than 2ft away from my monitors, the last thing I'd want to upgrade to is a larger screen. For me even 27inch is ever so slightly on large side at that distance.

[@ZorzGaming]

This looks like it could be ultra Zorz but for almost twice the amount of the 34 inch wide which can DLDSR you’re only getting then 80 more hz. I need to try this to see what else it can do. As always Optimum I’m a fan!
