Thank you for the update!! I'm in the middle of helping a friend build out their new computer, and they are going with 1440p for their monitor. Was trying to go through all of your recent videos since the last roundup to try and get an idea for the best ones to get. This made it SO much easier! Wonderful content as always!

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

One of these days I intend to upgrade to a 1440p monitor, so these videos are highly useful. Thanks, Tim, for all the hard work on keeping purchasers properly informed on what they're getting!

[@Tomiply]

It's crazy to me that people still haven't upgraded. I got a 1440p monitor back when the 1070 came out, so like 7 years ago. I get it though, not everybody wants to do it, as it makes everything harder to run, but it's such a nice upgrade in clarity.

[@GewelReal]

​@@Tomiplymy 1650 isn't ready for it

[@sSteppingStones]

Nobody uses upscaling at 1080p but you can get a 1440p display and upscale from 1080p and it looks fine

[@jameskillbot2867]

I got a 1440p 144hz on 2012 for Diablo 3… what is wrong with you?? It’s exactly the same as not upgrading to high speed internet to me. Should be one of your top priorities in fucking life imo.

[@pcmasterracetechgod5660]

Definitely good recommendations but these are definitely not all of the best options. The Alienware QDOLED wasn't mentioned at all unless I missed it, which is in my opinion, the best of the OLED monitors available and what I'll be buying on black friday.

[@TheRedJacket1]

Glad to see the LG 27GR83Q getting the MUB seal of approval! I bought it around a month ago, which felt like a bit of a gamble because there weren't many reviews on it. Going from a garbage tier 15 inch 1080 60hz laptop display to this thing has been an absolute game changer.

[@orentalor224]

you recomend to buy this monitor? or 32GP750-B is good also?

[@Nightmare0021]

A while ago, based on your recommendation, I bought a 274QRF-QD, and I'm very happy that I did, I like it a lot. Thanks for the video, Tim!

[@RichWhiteUM]

About 1 year ago, I picked up the Gigabyte M32QC on sale from Newegg for around US$250. It's ridiculous the prices that they are going for now. With that said, I've been happy with my choice. I went with it because it is the VA panel and not the IPS one. I wanted the better contrast rate and blacks of the VA panel. I did have one issue with it. One of our cats took a header right into the panel, when something spooked her as she slept on my lap. It caused a black blob to appear at the bottom of the screen. Gigabyte fixed it with no questions asked. They even professionally color calibrated the replacement panel. From when I shipped it, the total turnaround was about 2 weeks.

[@federicodiaz7280]

I cannot find any of this monitors for less than 300. the range goes from 300-500 euros. I'm in the Netherlands

[@wirthypickle]

Was trying to find this video yesterday! Great timing

[@ValenceFlux]

For 1440p I have been using the TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B for a while now. I picked it up on sale for under $300. It's been pretty good but I am sure there must be better looking displays coming out soon.

[@user-on4lv8eu9h]

An idea to implement for recommendation videos: showing screen moddels similar to the one being recommended that didnt make it because at the time of their review the price was too high. I have seen the screens you recommended (as cheaper and better value) hold their price while similar screens (at the time of their review more expensive and worse value) got discounted, making them a better buy in the end

[@ACrazyNoob]

hey i have a question, do you guys have a ps5/xbox series x? i have the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD and while the freesync works great with pc, when using freesync on my ps5 it refuses to show an image, is this somehting you could add into your testing? cheer!

What monitor you suggest for pc gaming?max price I'm looking for is $400

[@3Konaa]

In regards to the budget 1440p 240hz monitors, Does the LG 27GR83Q perform better in fps titles than the GIGABYTE M27QX? I'm considering 1440p mainly so my gpu is getting used more than it is at 1080p, and yes I do want a better content viewing situation with 1440p, that's not my main goal. I do enjoy single player or story based games, but my main game area are esports titles. I want to go for something 1440p that isn't going to shatter my wallet while still being competitive.

[@simeonmarkfernandes1423]

When using a colorimeter to calibrate a monitor, does it change colors wrt the color profile set in the monitor or with respect to the monitor's color gamut?So if I set a monitor to Srgb and then calibrate it, does it fix the colors considering the clamp imposed by the monitor's applied color space?

Thank you for the review! 🙆🏻 Just nice my friend has finally decided to shift from Mac gaming to PC gaming. I will be using this video as a guide for getting a 1440p monitor for him during Singles Day sale (11.11) in Singapore.

[@Woodzta]

Worth noting that the old M27Q is being slowly phased out here in Europe and the M27Q v2.0 is sold in its place. It's much closer to the M27Q-P and has an RGB sub-pixel layout instead of BGR. Considering the M27Q-P is next to impossible to find here, the 2.0 version (generally advertised as 165Hz instead of 170Hz but they can still go to 170Hz no problem) is a good consideration.

[@Tom_Quixote]

Thanks. Was wondering why I couldn't find any M27Q-P monitors while searching prices here. I wish we had something like Hardware Unboxed Europe

[@MinishMan]

Was just going to comment this myself. Bought an M27Q Rev 2.0 off ebay last month for £215 and I can't tell how it's different to the P variant. Has RGB subpixel, KVM works great for wfh, does 170Hz, I can't notice any obvious motion or inverse motion blur. Great monitor and I'm really happy with it.

[@lordofdrones]

Gigabyte seems to have really poor QA as well, lots of pixel errors reported in various forums. Make sure the retailer has a good pixel error returns policy, because Gigabyte does not.

[@bleikrr]

I bought an m27q last month, but I’m not sure if it’s rev 1.0 or 2.0

[@lordofdrones]

@@bleikrr I would assume it has a different EAN, but maybe not if 2.0 just replaces 1.0. Macro photo of pixels would work since 1.0 is non-RBG and 2.0 is RBG.

[@txmetalcobra]

I would like to recommend the Acer XV272U Vb. It’s relatively inexpensive and performs very well.

[@TonyW86]

Hey great work! I was wondering if you plan to review the newer model MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2? I would love to see some reviews of this, how it performs against the original version, and if its g-sync compatible - a big deciding factor for me.

[@edoardomileto6150]

I'm looking forward for your review of the DELL G2724D. According to RTINGS tests it (slightly) outperforms the M27Q-P both in motion and color performance at a lesser price. It's a really good deal expecially here in europe where the prices of Gigabyte and MSI alternatives are much higher

[@omnisemantic1]

Yep the Taiwan imports are way too overpriced in EU. Dell & LG is where it's usually at.

[@dj_m19]

if the price makes sense and you can find it in stock (considering it was discontinued) I'd still recommend the s2721dgfa. G2724D is supposed to be the "new" s2721dgfa but it doesn't have the same features, it's definitely more of a budget monitor, ever so slightly, in terms of features. But of course all of this depends on availability, price, what you're looking in a monitor etc

[@omnisemantic1]

@@dj_m19That's exactly what I've been using the past 2.5 years and I intend to keep using it for at least as many more. It's a great f'ing display ^^

[@famezy9103]

I’ve got the Dell G2724D and I game on PS5. I really wouldn’t bother paying more money on other 1440p monitors, unless you want OLED and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, which the doesn’t really make a difference on console, but I’m unsure if the bandwidth makes a difference on PC. That’s the 2.1 bandwidth I’m referring to that doesn’t make much difference on console, but of course OLED does The Dell has HDMI 2.1 but it has the lower 24Gbps bandwidth instead of the higher 48Gbps, but it works perfect for VRR on the PS5 It has DisplayHDR 400, which is good brightness with 400 cd/m2 and peak brightness 450 cd/m2 and although it isn’t true HDR because it isn’t OLED, it still has good HDR modes with different brightness levels It also has almost zero ghosting even in extreme response time mode It retails for £279, but I was lucky I saw it on sale for £209 on Dell website and grabbed it Seriously, just to have a couple of extra small features that won’t make much difference at all in gaming, it’s not worth paying almost £100 more on other 1440p monitors like Gigabyte and MSI and it’s going to be very similar resolution quality as they’re all 1440p There isn’t any other 1440p monitor out there with HDMI 2.1 for that price and all the other gaming options are very similar on majority of the 1440p monitors

I would love an updated video on the best screen for mixed usage. I feel like a lot of content is eather "highest value this", which is far from premium or just "gaming" focussed which leads to OLED's. I use my setup for work during the day so OLED is not an option, and gaming at night. I'm looking for both the optimal monitor setup AND just the most premium screens out there that will suite my needs.

[@pcmasterracetechgod5660]

Get a cheap 4k monitor for work, and get whatever OLED you want for everything else. I personally am going to grab the QDOLED from Alienware this black friday

[@aouyiu]

Sunlight doesn't really make a difference, in fact with phones at least it's easier to see a Samsung AMOLED screen than it was an LCD iPhone in the sun. Then again phones use glass not plastic. What matters for sunlight visibility is glossy screens. Not all OLED panels are glossy, some other panels have glossy options too, usually IPS models.

[@pivdb]

​@@aouyiu uhm, thanks for the feedback but I didn't really mention sunlight and reflectiveness at all? The reason I want to avoid OLED is because it's not good for mixed usage.

Any help is appreciated, thank you for all the awesome help and advice with monitors!

[@kickfister]

I really feel that the BGR subpixel layout on the Gigabyte M27Q-P shouldn't be as understated as it is. The moment I saw what that actually meant for text it went right back. I simply don't believe that the average person would take mild improvements to color gamut, pixel response/overdrive modes, brightness, etc with that compromise unless they literally will only ever use the desktop in order to launch a game. I'm not even that sensitive to weird subpixel layouts (currently use an QD-OLED and don't care about its subpixel layout at all), BGR was just that bad though. At the same time I do get the recommendation for it, objectively speaking, but it's a huuuuuge caveat.

[@xSubaa]

According to Rtings The M27Q 1.0 has BGR layout. The M27Q P version uses RGB layout. And I believe the new M27Q 2.0 is using RGB but you can't tell what revision you're getting when you buy.

Way too big and pixel density moves at Full-HD territory. Even 27 is too big sometimes depending on the type of games you play

[@TheBenMillard]

@@Novskyy621 32" is great for movies and text is comfortable for long days of spreadsheeting. It matches 24" 1080p pixel density as you point out - which is very cosy for an ergonomic viewing distance. That's why Steve likes 32" for graph-making in comfort. A more filled vision cone is also nicely immersive in video gaming. If you can see the pixels, you are simply too close!

[@Novskyy621]

@@TheBenMillard32" 4K has not the same pixel density as 24" 1080p. It's nearly 50% more.. also i think a more filled vision cone may be more immersive for racing games but for some games its actually worse when you have to move your eyes so much to see the minimap or other hud elements. For shooters i prefer smaller screens, makes it easier to focus

[@TheBenMillard]

@@Novskyy621 Good point about narrow vision being better in some types of games. My 32" screen actually has a 27" bordered mode for that reason, running at a custom resolution to keep the pixel mapping 1:1 of course. Some players even use 4:3 aspect ratio and that's supported, too. My comment and this video are about 1440p at 32" not 4k. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I personally find the size of UI elements is so cosy and the sharpness of modern IPS is so good that peripheral vision is enough to get the key information from edge-of-vision HUD elements. Rev counter, compass, damage readout, event notifications, etc. But the games I play are quite slow-paced so this won't be true in some titles.

I’m hesitating between the 27GR93U and the 27GR83Q and the gigabyte m27U for console games (x|x),especially fast fps games like cod so what do u think should I chose between these three?

[@Ninja_Reborn]

Hi Tim, can you please take a look at the new M27Q-X rev 2.0 panel in a future video. It would be nice to see what are the differences between the old and new panel to see if the product is still as good as the original, nobody has looked into that yet.

[@dmartineze1]

I would love it if you had a gaming/HDR-productivity section; this would be a type of monitor that would be best for productivity during the day and gaming during the night. In my case, I work from home, so I use my computer during the day to look at spreadsheets, reports, code, have a chat window all the time, etc. (and other burn-in activities), hence why I'm hesitant with OLED, but as soon as I clock out, I may have a gaming session where I would love to get as much as frames and colors as I can get. My ideal monitor is IPS 1440P 240hz ultra-wide with (at least) HDR1000, but that monitor doesn't exist.

[@ItsukiSackey]

Same here, I'm scared to buy an OLED because it is not designed for non-gaming usage, and it is also very expensive. I would like to know what is the best Premium option for polyvalent monitor.

[@kaslofchen257]

HDR 1000 can't guarantee good HDR performance. LG 32GQ950 is HDR 1000 certified and its HDR is like shxt for its poor backlight

[@erejnion]

Wait, no ultrawides? I thought you guys usually do ultrawides too as a separate category.

[@morten1811]

I agree. I was kind of floored when I saw no Ultrawide Category. To be fair to them, there hasn't been a lot of UW action lately outside of OLED so I can understand why they chose to leave it out, but perhaps they could've at least clarified why they left UW out, or perhaps they just simply forgot. They are human afterall and we have no idea about their workflow. Benefit of the doubt, I say.

[@HeadhunterKev96]

Yep, would be great as these are the one I'm looking at. But no problem for me as I'm still very happy with my Gigabyte M34WQ. Not the best monitor in many categories but for the price it's awesome for me!

[@Sniper0655]

[@StolenMemes4U]

​@@dIggl3r Good for you but I don't want to spend 1000$+ for a monitor that it has the risk/guarante to burn in. I also see myself with an OLED but in 10 years from now. (Hell, right now I have a 1080p TN panel 60hz at around 70$ which I bought in 2011, only now i'm looking for a new one in the range of 700$) And I know you want to defend your pick and say 1 of 2 things: 1. Burn in is user error. They used the monitor wrong. Didn't turn display off every 4hr for pixel refresh, or using it as a monitor is fundamentally stupid and you're an idiot for buying OLED for your use case. 2. Burn in doesn't happen. I have my display and it doesn't burn in. Because I didn't get burn in, your experience is invalid and I'm going to keep talking about how I don't have burn in. OLED is the best! Stop worrying about burn in you idiot. But you can not ignore the basic physics of how oled functions. Burn-in is absolutely an issue and especially in the windows environment where programs have a ton of static elements. An OLED monitor will be great for media and gaming consumption but should be avoided for hours of daily web browsing and productivity. So it comes down to your use and knowing what you're getting into. For all the people that say just don't worry about it, they must have the luxury of ignoring what happens when a $1000 monitor gets burnt in scroll bars and browser header or it has burnt the rest of the pixels to match to the point the brightness is very low. I would say if you're going OLED and intend to use it 8-12 hours daily be prepared to trash it in five years. This video should have had some other safe options too.

[@konkaiser1243]

Why have you never looked at the AOC Q24G2A? I think 24" 1440p is actually really nice for a bit more sharpness.

[@SaltyMaud]

The upper end Samsung VA monitors, including the G7 are basically the only VA monitors that are virtually smearing free and despite being 3 year old VA monitor, it still has top tier motion clarity for 1440p 240Hz LCD panels. In terms of brightness and color specs it's still on par with other 1440p 240Hz options too, and it _does_ come with the extra contrast from being a VA panel. Even with the rudimentary edge lit local dimming, HDR looks passable. Not great, but better than nothing. Even if it's getting old, I wouldn't discount it as an option, especially since you can frequently find it on sale for 399€ or your equivalent.

[@riba2233]

Yeah still the best 1440p240 lcd option by far

[@SaltyMaud]

@@riba2233 It's definitely not _the_ best 1440p240Hz LCD monitor anymore with the new mini LED monitors coming to market, but in the midrange it sure is still a uniquely competitive option just by the virtue of being practically the only option that offers the VA benefits without the VA downsides. I'm very happy to keep using one while I'm waiting for OLED monitors to mature and come down to regular people prices.

[@RedBeardedRabbit]

Let's not undersell the benefits of high-contrast displays like OLED. It's not just for HDR. It makes a HUGE difference in image quality in SDR too especially for darker content - not to mention being able to actually see any details in dark scenes in games and media vs your typical 1000:1 contrast IPS and TN.

[@RedBeardedRabbit]

@@Navi_xoo I mean... pricy sure but not pointless. Some people have money to spend. Regardless, to avoid burn-in there's miniLED finally starting to happen in LCDs. Before that there has been VA panels, which traded off contrast for response times. I made that trade-off as I hated bad image quality.
