LG's 480Hz OLED Gaming Monitor is ALMOST Perfect... [Full Review]

[@Thetechchap]

Hey Chaps! Would you ever use this in 480Hz Mode??

[@Bobbe1994]

No is the short answer

[@VsSecretChannel]

Yep

[@mogensen84]

I was really looking forward to this monitor, but with this pricetag and no USB-C .. That is really disappointing 😒 Not to mention the brightness of this monitor. I would have thought it could get a lot brighter compared to the QD-OLED's 🤷‍♂ I think I will pass on this one tbh, since there is absolut 0 chance of me using that 480Hz mode anyway. I might end up getting the LG 32GQ950P-B instead, seeing as the price has gone down a lot over the past few weeks.

[@Captain-Chats]

No i wouldnt

[@Joshua-xh6bm]

No, but I'm not a competitive gamer in the slightest. Maybe this thing will appeal to those people but for $1,400 you can do so much better than this. It's trying to be a jack of all trades and master of none.

[@hurstod533]

I honestly have had OLED for a few years now and have not had any issues with burn in. I do run the pixel cleaning every time I am prompted though, so that might be the reason. I think you would have to abuse it a little bit to really see issues with burn in.

That bottom bezel makes this monitor look so good. I don't know why most monitors still have a larger bottom bezel, compared to the other sides. Except for Zowie, they still use bezels from the 90s.

i have this Monitor for my PS5 Pro and holy smokes... the image quality, the picture quality, the graphics, the sharpness, the colors and absolutely everything is incredible. i cannot say this enough. This monitor is an absolute beast, i mainly care about the image quality and picture 4K that's why i got it plus OLED my gosh the Blacks on this thing is amazingly dark inky i love it!!! I'm Coming from Sony inzone M9 4K ips 27" monitor and it was an awesome monitor but this right here is different Game Changer, also the "matte coating on the display is not grainy at all or very mattey, its more like matte and glossy put together in one, it really is nice to look at and the most amazing part of all of this, it went on sale for $400 off so i paid $999.99 plus tax instead of retail price of $1399.99 plus tax, i got it at Best Buy

[@MiscoJix]

At 07:40 you are measuring Lux which do not equal nits. At 10% white window both monitors should be at around 500nits.

[@DonDOOM4]

At 8:00 how are you getting 800 nits out of those clouds in HDR mode on the PG32UCDM? On all HDR modes - Gaming, Cinema and Console (P1000) modes they're much dimmer on other PG32UCDMs. I'd be interested to know your settings, or whatever you could've changed to achieve this. There's been a lot of discussion regarding the aggressive ABL behaviour of these new QD-OLED panels, which seem to be even worse on the PG32UCDm specifically. I can't post links here, but on reddit, the OLED_Gaming sub and the official ASUS forum there's a lot of unsatisfied people with worse than expected HDR brightness performance in mid to high APL scenes. Thanks for any additional information you can provide!

[@MrM-dl5zm]

My 2 cents. Yes the Asus have some issue with Peak1000 mode but True HDR400 is not affected. Many people have reported this and Asus is aware of this issue. They have fixed previous 27" oled monitor. We gonna wait how they will handle this one.

[@OC.TINYYY]

So much better than the grey blacks on QDOLED in anything but a dark room. Returned a G8 OLED monitor because of it. Sticking with WOLED from now on.

[@Thetechchap]

Yeah - blacks are darker for sure. Each has its advantages - I quite like the Asus QD-OLEDs I have too.

[@bb2status]

I completely agree. Raised blacks on QD-OLED panels is a deal breaker for me.

[@Banana_Slugcat]

The G8 sucks in general for many other reasons, but yeah WOLED is much better for blacks and power efficiency. QD OLED is just a bit more vibrant but 99% of people won't notice the difference.

[@fuzzywinkle8310]

I’ve done the exact same thing

[@0newithmisery]

@@Banana_Slugcat "99% of people won't notice the difference" Uuuhm, no... I have a G8 QDOLED and this LG WOLED monitor. The differences in image quality are night and day. The Samsung is much brighter, although the brightness of the LG should actually be higher according to the data sheet. The LG is also so much darker that the colors almost look distorted. But, in contrast to the Samsung, the LG offers a much more homogeneous and warmer image. The Samsung blasts its candy colors right into your brain. The Samsung, on the other hand, offers better HDR. For example, the HDR10+ mode in Cyberpunk, which is not even shown in the options with the LG. You can argue about which is better. But I have now decided on the LG.

It's DOA at the price they're asking. The QD-OLED options are both cheaper and better, offering glossy panel coating, similar levels of SDR & HDR peak brightness, actual burn-in warranty. Minus that niche 1080p480hz mode. I thought the LG WOLED panel would have better peak brightness levels with all that MLA tech they're marketing, but it seems to be gimped in this monitor to the point that it isn't any brighter than the competing QD-OLED panel.

[@patrikmedia]

depends on the region, in EU the Asus costs 1500EUR, while AW is around 1140EUR (incl. tax, varies slightly by country). If LG prices it reasonably then it will probably be less expensive than the Asus or at least same. But so far we have no info of pricing outside the US. As for WOLED panel, there is still a good chance that Asus will tune it differently than LG and give a much brighter monitor, similar what they did with last gen WOLED releases.

[@mogensen84]

[@Mutio86]

Wait for the ASUS with WOLED then. Also WOLED is still less prone to burn in than QDOLED. The 2 year warranty is still something that sucks on the LG especially for that price. My 4K 27“ LCD LG got a red stripe on the right side 5 months after warranty end..

@@Alinho295 LG does offer a 2 year warranty for the panel including burn in as he says in the video. Others offer a 3 year warranty though and especially for the asking price that‘s a no go. But like I said, ASUS will release a monitor with the same panel. Plus we‘ll see others like Gigabyte as well. So there‘s lots of competition and I expect the prices to drop. I won‘t buy one until autumn anyways. With Blackfriday etc. that’s the best time to shop tech. Until then I‘ll hold on to my current LG. Even when the red stripe sucks but at least it’s pretty much on the right and not in the middle of the panel. ASUS or Dell would‘ve just replaced the monitor as it‘d still be within warranty *sigh*. If I were to buy an LG again definitely only with a warranty extension.

The reason why 1080p at 32 inches looks better than cropped is because 4K to 1080p is a perfect 4:1 ratio so it’s utilising 4pixels whereas the crop isn’t a perfect scaling.

[@Captain-Chats]

Just a heads up, I've had the Asus PG32UCDM and i sent it back. It locks you out of changing any settings while in HDR mode. I'm very partial to a cooler colour Temp / white balance and it doesn't let you change this to your liking making everything look yellow / orange. I was utterly disappointed and very annoyed. Isn't it up to the user on how they want to see their picture? Especially when these things cost more than £1k. Absolutely unacceptable imo, you can change these settings on a tv for Christ sake, Ill be trying the LG next

[@MrM-dl5zm]

Thats very interesting because HDR color accuracy is much better with wider color gamut than LG not to mention fucked up EOTF for HDR. And HDR settings are locked both on LG/Asus. You can pick HDR mode and calibrate colors for DCP-I3 and SRGB mode along with Gamma. Check MonitorUnboxed review for LG - you goofed sending it back my man.

W-OLED is your common OLED display type. From what I've seen, QD-OLED is newer and better in the sense that its colors are more vibrant and the screen more uniform. I think they usually can get a little brighter, too? The main visual benefit is more color vibrancy. I think it's the same technology as W-OLED, but it has a Quantom Dot layer in the panel(QD), that gives it it's even stronger colors and uniformity.

[@noirelectrique8782]

glossy the light comes straight into the eyes which gives intense colors but also even dazzling whites. The surface takes reflections like a mirror. It is however quite pretty in a room when it is turned off. Matte screens greatly attenuate reflections, and the image is softer, a little less dazzling but with less intense colors. I personally prefer matte for a gaming/working/text PC etc. It's much more comfortable and relaxing when you spend time on it

Others say it is 3. Gen. Oled? NOt 2. gen...

[@healer80]

The thing is thiese screen reglective coatings make oleds look like ips anyway

[@orion9k]

The 7600x3d with 7900 XT cant even run CS2 without lag (fps dipp bellow 144 fps on 1080p) under high game activity, so if you want to run 240hz in cs2 with 1% fps staying above 240 fps, you need 9800x3d, so these high hz monitors kind of seems overkill atm if you want to really use the high hertz to your advantage.

does gsync work?

[@deliciouserest]

I bought one I think it's a huge upgrade from my QLED

[@Noah-Lach]

I'd love to see this industrial design with the ROG's glossy cover glass and better thermal management. I guess the quest for a perfect monitor is still ongoing!

[@mariuszkruk1135]

Does it have VRR Flickering issue?

[@0newithmisery]

Of course. Every OLED monitor has this. But of course the paid KZbin experts don't mention it. However, the flickering on this model is very limited.

[@pvdgucht]

27-Inch 4K QD-OLED high nits brightness min 120Hz that's all I want. Been waiting for that for soooo long. 32-Inch is just to big when you sit quite close to the monitor.

So all I’m hearing is wait for ASUS dual mode ?

[@desirewithinus]

UK when?
