Just wanted to say, using the waveforms at 4:26 to show differences in HDR brightness is a GENIUS way of demonstrating brightness performance. Very straight forward and easy to understand. Surprised I don't see reviewers do that more. Good thinking! Please do more of that 🙏

[@mitchplays9297]

I agree, to the untrained eye its very hard to compare the differences between the two. Its even good for people watching on non oled screens, where maybe the images look the same, but the waveform will show easy to digest data about the picture quality. I hope this catches on and more reviews start to include it

[@Keivz]

Wonder what tool he’s using.

[@cryptonix02]

​@@Keivz I believe he's just taking raw camera footage of the monitors in action, putting it in Premiere or DaVinci Resolve or something, and using a video scope waveform to show the differences side-by-side. It seems like it's most useful in *comparison* as opposed to only showing a single monitor's performance because it might be hard to calibrate exactly how bright the footage should register, so rather than trying to perfectly adjust your camera settings to match real-world luminance values, you can just compare two of them side-by-side to at *least* see which one's brighter.

[@CraWea]

Yeah I appreciate the empirical approach, but without a reference waveform there is no way of knowing which of the two waveforms is the most "correct". I'd rather have a well calibrated screen with appropriate brightness than one hardwired to "impressive demo" mode, like you see for demo TVs in electronics shops.

[@Keivz]

@ 100% thought the same thing. I believe an eotf tracking analysis serves this purpose (used in other reviews) without the need for a $30k reference monitor.

[@xynthexia]

If you're in the UK (or AOC is available for you), the AOC AG276QZD2 is a much better buy. Currently £450, it uses the latest gen 3 QD-OLED panel at 1440p 240hz. Edit: So I see some people claiming that the monitor is a gen 2 panel. This was previously W-OLED from LG, the updated version (this, they only changed 1 part of the name) uses Samsung's gen 3 QD-OLED. I hope this clarifies things. Please ensure that you have the correct model (AG276QZD2) when purchasing.

To be fair my phone is 1440p and I use it at 1080p, because even though I can see the difference it's not worth the battery etc imo. But your point about "artists draw at a flat resolution" is very irrelevant. Almost every artist draws at 4-8k minimum, and games rendered in 3d usually have appropriately large textures that mean you will be playing at the appropriate resolution anyway. It's impossible not to notice the difference; there's no "trying to cope to justify the purchase", that's just how it is. I kind of suspect you were playing in 1080p on your games, or maybe your monitor was just that small that the PPI made it hard for you to tell.

I returned it and only 2 weeks later they sent me a new one(usually whenever I return something in my country they waste the full 30 days before returning the product so getting it in 2 weeks was insane). I just received it and am impatiently waiting for it to get acclimated because it's cold outside. I have confirmed that it's a new model though because the service code says it's from October 2024. So I can wholeheartedly recommend alienware if you are scared of burn in or any other problem as they are indeed very good with their warranty.

Yeah its like 95% OLED recommendations now, but people who aren't just gaming really need to understand what it means when they say "mainly for gaming". I feel like its not emphasized enough that if you aren't mostly using it for gaming how much more differently you will need to use the monitor. A lot of newer people who jump into OLED are going to love the colors and performance, but could end up with annoying issues later down the line.

been using a pg27aqdm for over a year now. you can just turn off the popup and let it do its pixel cleaning when monitor is in standby. ive had 0 noticeable burn in when testing flat colors and im 50/50 gaming and programs withs constant static elements

[@r0xa18]

My LG OLED does all his burn-in prevention when in standby. Which OLED did u use?

HE FINALLY REVIEWED A KOORUI MONITOR

[@teckniec2]

Something of note, according to the listing it has a single display port 1.4 which can do 1440 @ 240hz (The advertised spec for the panel) but the rest of the display outputs are hdmi 2.0 which can do 1440 @ 144hz. They show the difference in one of the slides but weird there is not at least one hdmi 2.1 port. I have a 1440p 144hz ips monitor that I bought years ago, no HDR or any modern features, this is a tempting upgrade. I have a Sony A80J OLED TV and I love it and never plan on going back. The LG ‎27GS93QE is at $599 with hdmi 2.1 and a two year warranty.

Costs equivalent of $850 here in East EU. Same specs (2K, 240Hz, 27inch) from AOC (AG276QZD2, Samsung qd-oled panel) is $560. The cheapes I've found with the specs is the older version AG276QZD that's $530 here, but it has LG OLED panel (not sure if it's much of a downgrade) Just a fyi for fellow EU ppl:)

[@_APV_]

Additional info on panel difference. The newer one is 0.03ms minimum response time, instead of 0.3ms (so more similar to the panel mentioned in the video). Higher horizontal frequency of 360kHz instead of 255kHz (whatever that means). Higher power consumption of 75W instead of 25W (but EU certificate says 29 kWh/1000h vs 25 kWh/1000h, so there might be a mistake in specs)

Biggest problem with OLED is you cant just leave it on with your static desktop 24/7 like ya do with a LCD.. Gotta be careful with it, never leave it on, set black wallpaper and no task bars, etc or in a year or less it's an unreparable mess

[@analogicparadox]

Burn-in is a lot less likely now, and you can just use rotating wallpapers and display sleep to avoid it. You shouldn't be keeping it on for so long anyway, it's a huge waste of money.

[@jaemy39]

new oleds have anti burn in technology built in

[@ferdgerbeler8494]

@@jaemy39 yes, they do, automatic dimming and regular pixel refreshing that lowers the overall brightness of the panel, their mitigations are destructive and annoying, but they do keep t working for a few years if you're willing to tolerate it... the refresh will randomly tun your screen off to do it on many models, cant use it for 7 minutes, etc..

[@ferdgerbeler8494]

@@analogicparadox it's better, but burnin is still a major issue, and leaving my LED screens on all the time is no problem at all, they draw less than a real liightbulb.. don't get me wrong, when i want the best, i flip on the OLED, but i find myself rarely using it due to having to turn it on a deal with windows screwing up display settings every single time, etc.

Recommended the last Koori monitor he uploaded about to a friend. The friend bought it, and was happy until one day, the joystick on the back of the monitor that is required to navigate the menu got stuck going to the right and pressing enter. Every time the monitor was on, it would automatically get really dim, or some other random thing would happen. The cost of RMA was almost the cost of buying a new monitor due to shipping. You can't get this in reviews.

[@chrissimao14]

Stuff like this happens with every single product to ever exist. The reason you don't hear about it is because it's usually rare. If we do hear about it, usually, that means it's widespread and is then product is pulled.

[@jollyjames7170]

@@chrissimao14 If it were an ASUS product, it could just as easily happen, but it wouldn't cost $90 to ship it overseas, just sayin return experience is important, a button based menu navigation is important (and reliable), and a nice monitor stand that doesn't wobble (mentioned by optimum rightly) is also important. But sometimes, YT reviews might undervalue some of these aspects and so do consumers.

[@dinckelman]

When buying ROG, half the pricetag is the brand. Normally I would have said you also get way better warranty, but with ASUS, it's clearly not even remotely close to competitive. Affordable competition is what runs the market

[@glbernini0]

I love the small center mounted stand! I need all the usable desk space I can get! I am looking forward to 2nd gen monitors when a few more bugs have been worked out!

[@MeatNinja]

As someone who has already been using a 1440p 144hz IPS monitor, upgrading to OLED without also going 4k just seems like a waste of money. But if I go 4k, I would also need to get a 5090 to get all the frames. Now we're talking about a 4000 euro upgrade for just a monitor and a gpu 😂

[@mitsuhh]

Yh i use 1440p 144hz IPS 27 inch with a 4080, and prior used that same monitor with 1080 TI

and the enjoyment you get from this 4000€ upgrade is minimal... would go for meganex 8k light VR headset instead of a new monitor at that point
