I love it that now there are gaming monitors that aren't horridly ugly with all the useless colourful plastic props, screaming "GAMERZZZ", but instead something that actually fit a normal home.

[@triliner254]

Unfortunately its actually only LG doing this. Look at the rog or aorus monitors, they still look gaudy as hell.

[@CR0WYT]

As time went on, people got over the RGB hype and figured that proper functioning equipment is way more important than showing off with flashy colors. Companies like Razer and Logitech are already moving away from RGB equipment.

[@Quast]

I would consider that a minimum requirement, nothing to celebrate.

[@elu9780]

I like minimalistic designs and stay away from all the gamer stuff. Especially since all of it is plastic and thus, inevitably, looks cheap. Some plastics can look pretty good, true, but I'd really like aluminium more. Simple shapes endure, too. Like designs from Apple, starting from early 2010s. They do not look like they're from early 2010s, they still look good even now. Gamer stuff? That will eventually grow outdated, just like all-glass cases already have.

Ngl, all the OLED monitors looks superior to non-OLED monitors. From the front it doesn't look much different from other LG OLEDs or Asus OLEDs etc.

[@JanM2]

​​@@MrKapucyn19 But QD OLEDs tend to look worse than WOLEDs because WOLEDs don't have the ugly branding and instead only a clean front. QD OLED on the other hand often uses unnecessary branding on the chin like with the current 360hz QD OLEDs from MSI and Alienware

I like both single player games with breathtaking scenarios and competitive shooters. At this moment it is still too early to play competitive games in 4K and LG has unveiled an all in one solution that could solve the problem of those who, like me, find themselves in the middle ground, torn between the choice of image quality of 4K and the fluidity of Full HD at a high refresh rate. Great review.

[@JagsP95]

Why does this read like a bot response

[@joos3D]

I tend to agree, but I'm also used to playing competitive games on a 27" 1440p monitor. I don't love the idea of dropping resolution and PPI even though I really want an OLED monitor with high refresh rate. DLSS is good enough that I'd rather use that to get 4K resolution than this solution, but bandwidth starts becoming an issue at high refresh rates

[@zacharyspencer2285]

Lol I was thinking the same thing. I'm like hmm is this an LG rep?@@JagsP95

[@thedofflin]

​@@JagsP95Doesn't matter, i fully agree with this. I've been sitting on a 1440p 240Hz monitor and haven't felt like upgrading to OLED yet because i don't know whether i want low res with high refresh for Overwatch or 4K at lower refresh for everything else. If i wasn't obsessed with playing Overwatch competitively i would've switched to 4K OLED a while ago

[@3rd.world.eliteAJ]

@@thedofflin Honestly the issue for me is that the refresh rates are just too high. Barely any game is going to push 240 frames at 4k even with a 4090, and having tried the 540Hz PG248QP at my friends house, I couldn't tell the difference between it and my 360Hz monitor.. Hopefully LG or someone releases a middle ground 120Hz 4k & 360Hz 1080p, not being able to utilize the full refresh rate on a monitor would just be too frustrating for me and considering the hardware to run at those frames won't be out for another year at least, it just seems like a novelty feature that you can point your finger at saying that you've got it.

[@FJaypewpew]

im keen for the 1440p 480 tbh

[@FJaypewpew]

[@brandonmurray3629]

I have this below a 42” LG C2 oled for video editing and color grading with the bonus of having an incredible gaming setup. Built in color calibration is really nice, using my i1 display pro makes this monitor very accurate just make sure you go into advanced settings and use the max number of patches. Matte display is NOT an issue on this monitor people saying so don’t own it and aren’t using it next to a glossy screen. The pixel layout is so much better for text, it’s really a relief to not have color fringing around text! All around love this monitor, I think it’s the best for my needs and I would 100% buy it again!

[@konga382]

LG missed a trick by not letting the 24" mode be the full ~1620p resolution. HDMI 2.1 can handle that resolution at 480hz with DSC.

[@emrexis]

maybe the panel is not fast enough for that resolution we can't know for sure

[@konga382]

@@emrexis Yeah, it probably would have taken a bit of extra work on their part to get it working, but between the already crazy 4K 240hz mode, the dual mode toggle, and the cropping feature, it seemed like they got 90% of the way there and then stopped. This monitor still seems good, but it could've been insane with this feature.

[@MaxxDW]

This is the dream package for me if it wasn't for the difference in price point per region. The PG32UCDM retails for 1300$ in the US which I'm willing to shill out. But that same exact monitor costs 1800€ in EU. Taking currency conversion into account, that's a 600€+ difference for the exact same monitor!

[@NANOTECHYT]

You can still see text fringing, it's just now not on the horizontal axis, it's on the vertical axis. Of course maybe in real life, it's better than the previous layout, but from the video there's clear blue text fringing on the "t" in the word 'Desktop' on the OLED vs the IPS panel.

[@m0nztam0nk]

Matte coating…just why…i chose the asus model for 2 reasons: glossy and qd oled (better color pop in bright colours). I use it for warzone gaming (no matter the hardware this game cant be pushed far beyond 200fps consistently) and professional photo editing. And especially for photo editing i would NEVER go back to a matte coating… i can control the light in my room so i guess thats why, but the clarity IS superior!

Plus, i never expect to go over 300fps in tripple A titles (which i played) the max i can get from my pc is 200fps on fhd. So 240fps vs 360hz means not too much as a deal breaker. So does 1440p vs 4k. But as an owner of 360hz fhd aw2521h, i'm guarantees you that sooner or later you will find out that resolution will be quickly out date by gpu generation and upgrade path. I'm not a fan of huge monitor either vs my pc is quite in a stage of bottleneck (not that bad but have no plan to upgrade it for couple of years) so yeah...i will spend a bit more for 4k 240hz.

A massive amount of CPU & GPU processing power is wasted with sample-and-hold just attempting to reach what CRT does for free at 24 fps/Hz (Though obviously at that refresh rate flicker will be a _bit_ of an issue, lol).

Might get this. Seems pretty solid at what it's trying to do. Not sure I'm patient enough to be waiting for the 39 or 45 inch 5K2K 21:9 version, that might even not have dual-mode. I like playing immersive single player or more on the relaxing coop games too and then 21:9 is ideal so long as I can set a 16:9 mode for competitive games. Ideally by now ultra & superwide screens would have Picture By Picture with no downsides so one could play 16:9 with a long sidescreen for whatever when desired, but they still halve the refresh rates in PBP mode for some reason. I really thought we'd be further along now. I remember a dual-mode 4K-1080p monitor was implemented and sold as kits as far back as 2017 by the engineer Zisworks as a hobby project. The industry is very slow at adding conveniences that are already well figured out how to do.

I really hope this feature becomes standard across more of LG's 4K monitors. Even if it's just a bump from 4K 60 up to 1080p 240 that would still be awesome. I'm not a resolution snob in games but I prefer 4K for the desktop experience so I can use scaling for super sharp text and video. I would love to be able to switch over to 1080 mode for gaming and get the higher refresh rate and higher frame rate by dropping the resolution. It's just such a great idea and totally makes sense to do on a 4K panel with the way the pixels naturally scale.

I love this channel however 1080p resolution for any game including eSports games doesn’t make any sense especially you are forced to full screen and no crop for such a low resolution

[@bygodwearemen]

I just prefer dedicated minitors. There'd be some scarifice in dual mode configurations.

[@ChewyMustaineReviews]

You and monitors unboxed are the best reviewers on the planet. The only thing i am afraid, is the matt coating...

[@sushimshah2896]

Some laptops did have dual-mode displays since a few years, but they were 4k@120Hz/1080p@240Hz iirc.

[@eduardomaldonado5793]

Finally I’ve been waiting for something like this time to get rid of my neo g8 having a monitor to change from 4k single player gaming to 1080p esports gaming is a dream very excited

[@GnomoDota]

Your videos are awesome ! congratz bro, keep going like that

[@WestMain-pf2jk]

im a tech and ow nerd so this channels pretty cool

[@hwelp]

Yo what if the heat sinks were in a spiral pattern. Like think about it, if the fan spins and the heatsink is in the spiral motion similar to the fan, would there be less noise or better cooling?

[@lekso02]

My RX570 is scared for its live after I watched this vib, also imo you are so underrated.. love the channel and the vibes keep it up!!

[@Sweenis80]

This can be done with a lot of high refresh 4K monitors. I had a 4K 60Hz monitor that I could overclock to 120Hz, but only at 1080p. I have since tried it with a few friends 4K monitors and it seems that cheaper monitors are capable of this whereas higher end brand names like LG or Samsung aren't capable of this (I'm assuming it has to do with the on board software). The best results I got were on a 4K 144Hz screen that gladly ran 1080p 290Hz, with a temp difference of about 3c measured with an IR temp gun at the hottest spot on the back.

[@willfullyinformed]

Still too spoiled by my LG C2, 42" 4k OLED @120 Hz. The size is perfection, glossy, the colors, HDR, everything is immaculate, and 120hz is a perfect happy medium with no noticeable competitive performance decrease in games. Will wait until they come out with an OLED at 240hz or so at 40+ inches. Great too see they're heading that direction quickly with PC features! Awesome review.

[@AntonioDal.]

I wish it had a triple mode: 1440p option at something like 360hz. Even with some black bars due to cropping it would still be amazing to play in the current sweetspot gaming resolution.

[@willwunsche6940]

If it had all three modes I would be torn on what to use constantly 😂 but that would be ideal still

[@SudoYETI]

I'm very interested in this. At home I've given up multiple monitors because I prefer having one nice monitor directly in front of me. This seems to be exactly the type of thing I've been looking for. 4K for 4K content but 1080P for esports.

[@MasonTurek]

hey man, loved the video. What shirts do you wear?

[@datalival]

same question

[@deama15]

Man I wish they did a 48 inch version of this! I still can't find a 4k 240hz OLED TV!

[@richardjung9562]

This 4k 1080p thing is actually really cool:D u get almost double the pixel density and you could also roughly half the viewing distance and still see the same sharpness level like 1080p 24inches because every mm^2 has ca. double the pixels. Right? I would love to see this on a 27inch monitor. That would be insane. Native 4k on 27 inches for story games and like upgraded 1080p for shooters with immense fps on a more suitable size for that.

[@obliviondust2719]

Hey optimum, how does this monitor cool? Is it cool by an active fan or does it cool by a heatsink? If it’s cool by a fan how audible is it? Best

[@mach1one]

Good product, nice mature and clean monitor design. Like Pixel Sound technology. I just wish LG would release the similar product but without matte coding and without Dual Mode for a cheaper price. Then it would be my dream monitor!

[@iTrinityPlays]

Welp guess I'm gonna have to buy this OLED if I do buy one. Closest thing it seems we'll get to a 1080p OLED monitor. I like the unexpected twist of also being a 4k monitor. Wasn't ever big on 4k gaming. But this monitor would for sure change that for more casual games.

[@28Revenge]

my dream monitor would be a 27" 5K monitor because that would be retina display for productivity at high refresh rate which would be amazing, and then it would scale perfectly to 1440p for gaming where youd be able to get good performance. Praying this is a reality one day. Probably OLED

[@keppycs]

"retina"...

[@GrainGrown]

Easy to spot the Apple fangirl.

[@28Revenge]

@@GrainGrownyes, because retina is fucking awesome & I am a designer so makes sense to me

[@28Revenge]

@@keppycsyeah 5k @ 27” is 218ppi which counts as retina

[@keppycs]

@@28Revenge you're ignoring the viewing distance. that too matters in perceived clarity

[@krzysiekj2522]

we needs it! But my pq279q luckily is still going strong, and there is not a slighets reason to upgrade for now. but we wants it!

[@alicope2]

Can you compare dual mode between LG and Asus and tell us which one is better

[@Heisenberg355]

The only disadvantage with those OLED Monitors is that they're PWM controlled, as in not flickerfree. This can cause headaches when using for a long time for some users, and is generally undesirable

[@cal7447]

Oh my goodness they've finally fixed (more or less) the text rendering issue? THAT, more than anything else, might be what pushes me over the edge finally

[@mind.journey]

I'm curious about how the 1080p mode compares to the 4k mode rendered @1080p in terms of image quality.
