I have had this monitor for 2 weeks and if you primarily game with this display, it is absolutely fantastic.

[@xPhantomxify]

Hows baldurs gate 3 with this monitor? I heard its too dark on qd oled monitors, like the shadows in game being completely black and not enough brightness

[@johngonzalez9621]

@@xPhantomxifyI think you would be able to adjust contrast and black levels

[@shizuro4091]

does this monitor has g-sync ?

[@zayd55]

@shizuro4091 Yes it's gsync compatible. I've been using it with my rtx 3090 without any issues.

Did you have any issues with eye strain or eye fatigue when using this monitor for extended periods of time? I had a MSI 271QPX (which uses the same QD-OLED panel as the FO27Q3), but I had to return it because it caused me so much eye strain.

[@thinkcomputers1]

Used this for about a month straight, no eye strain or fatigue

[@Dreyden12274]

I've got the msi monitor you mentioned and don't suffer of any eye strain

[@TyroneBF]

I had to use a LED light above the screen to combat the eye strain/headaches. It has something to do with OLED pwm flicker and a niche amount of OLED users experiencing it (me included). Ever since the change and turning off HDR I've had no issues. Some of us are just extremely sensitive to this lighting method.

[@thinkcomputers1]

@@TyroneBF I might have to consider this with my next OLED, although I really didn't have any issues with this one

[@Maxim_1120]

I could get the monitor now in sale for 800€ here in Germany. Is that a good deal ? The only concern I have that I will use the monitor for gaming and home office.

[@FromTheHood]

That's a good deal. Here in Slovakia it's around 900 euros.

[@maervo4179]

I got it for 600€ 2 days ago

[@Poppaai]

Nice! Did you get the resolution switch to work?

[@thinkcomputers1]

Yeah it worked by default no problem

[@ronald0122]

does the pixel screen poup on screen while you are gaming more then 4 hours?

[@undercovermc]

Is this considered the best 27" OLED for PS5 atm? Not interested in 32" monitors or TVs. Thanks

[@Welshgamer2514]

I've been rocking this for the past 2 weeks. However I'm struggling with picture settings. Do you have any decent ones

Same

[@mrhappytroll]

Ive been waiting for the MSI 271QRX for months now and cant find it in stock, I might just buy this since it has the same specs and be done with it. The OLED care features seem pretty comparable to MSI's and the price is the same

[@GMoneyy3000]

I'm in the same boat, gonna pull the trigger on this. Rtings just reviewed this one and its slightly brighter than the MSI and Alienware versions

[@mrhappytroll]

@@GMoneyy3000 Oh they did? I was looking for the review like yesterday, lemme check it out. Also, Im so mad at myself, it was in stock on Newegg for 2 days and I didnt buy it because im going to be out of town when it said it would arrive.

[@mrhappytroll]

@@GMoneyy3000 I had the alienware, and now im using the Pixio monitor which has the 240hz WOLED panel, not a fan of it

[@volvo89577]

Same here. Ordered a Alienware because it was cheaper with a 100$ now 1,5 month has gone, had to cancel my order and i decided to pull the trigger on this monitor. Almost identical specs, so im sure it will fulfill my expectations.

[@GMoneyy3000]

@@volvo89577 I’ve been using mine for 2 days now and it is simply amazing. The settings required some tinkering but wow the image quality and motion clarity is top notch

[@KennyKennTV]

Do you know what the refresh rate for this monitor is when you resolution switch to the 24" mode? Is it still 360hz or changes to 240hz

[@anderschristensen2717]

its 240 in 24 inch

[@TheMotivationGuy-ne7ji]

Gsync Support?

[@ceks0n]

Adaptive sync its same but no certificated

[@Kryptix0III]

wonder how this compares to Alienware's AW2725DF which is also 1440p 360hz oled

[@RiposteThis]

Same panel, but the Alienware doesn't have HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.

[@Maxim_1120]

I can't decide between the Dell Alienware AW2725DF (777€) vs GIGABYTE AORUS F027Q3 (786€) The Alienware hat 2x Dp 1.4 and the Gigabyte has 2x HDMI 2.1 Both are grate Qd OLED.

[@hristescualexandru9816]

Hey man, I saw that you also play helldivers 2, did you encounter any artifacts (black dots on white glowing parts in game, with HDR on) with this monitor? thx!

[@thinkcomputers1]

No I didn't

[@markdavenportjr5129]

I'm going for this bad boy this Christmas with my gaming rig upgrade. :)

[@thinkcomputers1]

Nice!

[@BluKunVT]

Do you know if there's any differences between this and the FO27Q2 aside from the refresh rate?

[@thevagrantgaming]

I’ve spoken with Gigabyte. They are basically the same monitor other than the refresh rate. I think the heat sink might be smaller internally because of that which also makes it a little lighter in weight also.

[@JFinns]

@@thevagrantgaming Wasn't the Q2 also a QD-OLED panel from last year? It might not be quite as good as this years panel. Edit: some sources say they are both the latest, making 240Hz a much better buy for me since my PC isn't going to run anything at 360fps anyway,.

[@guilhermeg345]

​@@JFinns Is it really a gen 3 panel ?

[@justlukas181]

Strange - my monitor cannot be rotated (left / right).

[@maervo4179]

I actually bought the monitor 2 days ago and i can't see any text fringing in normal use 🤔

[@FranticFountain28]

Thanks for the upload. I’m new to monitors, and want to know if setting the Xbox Series X to 4K although the panel is native 1440p okay? Will it make the image worse?

[@NoverianSnowCone]

It has HDMI 2.1 so the XSX will downscale the image from 4K to 1440p. The benefits of this, is that the image will look a little cleaner with AA, as opposed to a native 1440p image or upscaled from 1080p. That being said, you're leaving money on the table as the XSX will only go up to 120hz (on games that even bother with that). Just something to bear in mind.

[@hienata76]

Hello, I didn't understand, does the Display Port support 360hz? The one I will connect to the video card..

This is a shame, looking for an OLED with good speakers since my EX2710Q has awesome ones built in.

[@Dzus1k]

I sent mine back yesterday after 2 weeks of use. There was a few reasons for that but the main one was the glossy finish that made me unable to work with text editor because all I saw was my own mirror every time I worked with editor that had dark background. Also the panel is really dim against classic IPS one and I could not get the result I expected from it. The last thing was that with any light source coming into my room the panel was not pitch black but had purple tint because of the anti-glare filter used. The only was to solve all of this issues was to block any light source but I refuse to sit in a room that has zero light coming in just to enjoy my new monitor. Maybe if I lived in underground bunker with zero light that thing would be good for me but for now its hard pass. Ill try mini led as my next monitor.

[@xPhantomxify]

Please STOP buying QD-OLED/OLED monitors as work monitors. They are NOT suited for office work use. Stick to gaming/entertainment only.

[@xPhantomxify]

Why is this concept so hard for you to grasp?

[@Dzus1k]

@@xPhantomxify Have you ever heard about working on Ipad? Its also OLED and due to its brightness and clarity its perfect for work. This OLED monitor at other hand is dim trash and glossy finish makes everything worse. But as I said I got my money back and going for something else.

@@Dzus1kif your room is bright and will have lights while using it DONT buy QD OLED, get WOLED they have less reflection and just get a matte finish

@@Dzus1k The iPad is a lot more expensive than OLED gaming monitors and TVs per inch. Take a look at the price of Apple's studio display and pro display XDR and they aren't even OLED.
