I had a high end IPS monitor and picked up an ASUS OLED monitor last month. I cannot put into words how big of an upgrade it's been. Gaming on this thing has been an incredible experience so far.

[@shininngg]

I would love to upgrade to an OLED monitor but im too scared of burn in

[@Spealer]

Yeah I have the MPG321URX and the panel is incredible! OLED for a monitor honestly I find more impressive than a TV. Mainly cause I spend more time on it than a TV.

[@Benefits]

@@shininngg I was scared of burn in too. I held off on buying one for almost 3 years but after watching all of the long-term burn in tests on KZbin, I decided that burn in is something I should no longer be scared of. The technology has matured enough that I felt confident spending the money on it. Plus, with all of the pixel shifting and pixel cleaning features built into modern OLED monitors, burn in is virtually a non-issue these days. And if for some reason you do get burn in, almost every OLED monitor comes with a 3 year burn in warranty that will replace the monitor.

[@Benefits]

@@Spealer I agree! We have a LG C1 OLED tv in my house and it's nice to watch, but these newer high-end OLED computer monitors are on an entirely different level. I got the ASUS PG34WCDM OLED Ultrawide and this thing completely blows away the LG OLED TV we have.

[@G0A7]

Oleds probably will be above sooner than later, tn took decades to reach 480hz and oleds what, 5 years? The low response times also make a huge difference so im pretty sure where gonna see oleds with 600+ hz in no time (the only problem is the GPUs and games that could run like that)

[@Slixbrah]

@@blakkpatron but you need to push 480fps to get that clarity, whereas a 240hz dyac monitor will look clearer and only need 240fps

[@blakkpatron]

@@Slixbrah true to an extent, 480hz will still look better than say regular 240hz even if you're not hitting 480fps at all times and dyac/blackframe insertion isn't for everyone(causes eye-strain/fatigue for some) to add to that colour/contrast on an oled is going to be way better than what any lcd gaming monitor is going to produce.

The G8 OLED even has a toggle for that aspect ratio. Really great for competitive FPS where its so clear with its high PPI but also extends FOV so much further than regular 16:9.

[@DrDaveYT]

I was timid to upgrade to OLED for a long time as I find I've gotten used to leaving my IPS/TN monitors on for long periods of time, but OLED has changed my life. I'm actually watching content on my main monitor again (youtube videos, tv shows, etc) that I found I wasn't when using a benq TN for the competitive edge it offers. I think this is the perfect balance of leaning towards a really strong competitive monitor, but being really solid for media consumption too. I just use all the OLED health features I can, and turn the monitor off when I walk away from my desk although my PC may still be on. I went with the 1440p 360hz MSI btw, and I couldn't be happier with my decision.

[@kevan4259]

Hello Dave, the Benq monitor you used had DyAc+ right? How does that motion clarity compare to the one on the OLED for competitive? That's the only thing that's holding me back from getting an OLED, the Asus PG27AQDM precisely.

540hz TN is not a meme at all and I'm glad you mentioned it in your top 3. I just can't adjust to 27 or 32 inch monitors... they are way too big. Also my only use case is competitive games at high refresh rates so the 540hz TN makes sense for me and the size is amazing.

It’s a bit easier for me to use the bigger monitors on most games but the smaller 25 in is the best one and the one I’m most comfortable with

Sure, but paying 1000 for trash colors, contrast and just 1080p in 2024... very hard to justify unless you will have a second monitor or are an actual pro player... honestly 0 reason even for pro's to buy this considering it's already hard enough to distinguish between 240hz and 360hz not to mention a 540hz and 480hz oled...

FYI there are tail-less USB-C female to DisplayPort male (or HDMI) adapters that can make this easy, and they also have USB-PD input that they forward to the laptop. This could be a nice way to connect to such a display. I prefer the bring my own cable boring nice Thunderbolt cable vs having specialized cables for this kind of thing. The downside is they are only rated to 4k60 but I'm not sure if that's really a limit or just what usb-c was rated for at the time; I tend to think it's a pure electrical connection & not going to limit things more than what your laptop would do.

@@dantay_____tv If you set it up to max hours that is 16. you will get forced to do the cycle. So either you have to choose between pest or kolera. Get the popup in the middle of your screen every 4 hours able to postpone/cancel up to 16 hours max. or put 16 hours and not beeing able to cancel it. This is very annoying when you play competative games. I have sent MSI an ticket to make them change this popup so it dont pop up in the middle of the screen. And i also suggested them to put 15 hours use and make it possible to postpone 30-60 mins.

[@DRIFT9LE]

@@dantay_____tv You have to chose between the following: Get popup every 4 hours: max postpone to 16 hours which will force you to do the pixcel cleanup. Or put 16 hours max, that will also force you. I chose the last one. And try watch the timer. Have sent MSI a ticket to try get the popup on bottom of screen instead so it will not ruin your game and make it able to postpone it 1 hour and get the warning at 15 hours.

better than LG 27GS? I mostly do productivity/a little gaming/youtube watching. I just want a QD-OLED over an LCD. But i also really want a 27" 4K QD-OLED with the new RGB design for text fringing

I just ordered ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDM, cant wait for it to arrive. been gaming on 25 240hz TN for 6 years.

[@xfadeangelzz3684]

Was hoping to see a monitor that deserves praise which doesn't cost u a limb and a half. Oh well

[@alexmac3564]

I’m not sure if it depends on the region (I’m in USA) but the MSI model you mentioned on the description brings up all the specs you mentioned at 240hz. The one with 360hz is MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED 27" 1440p 360 Hz Gaming Monitor. Nevertheless thanks for the suggestions and reviews.

[@nuffsed1459]

No you're mistaking it for the 274QPX and not the 271QPX which is indeed a 360hz monitor

Why are monitor in store with dead pixel still a thing i had 3 Asus screens all over 1000 bucks and dead pixel ._."

[@radekmojzis9829]

I got the LG OLED in January, least responsible financial decision i have made this year, but DAMN. It looks SO good. My expectations were high, but it delivered everything I expected and more. I was using UltraGear 27GP850-B (1440p 185hz IPS) which is pretty decent, but the oled blew just me away. Never going back to older technologies for my primary display. One thing worth researching before you buy however is the flickering issue with freesync/gsync, Im not sure about the newer generation, but you cannot really use variable refresh rate on the older LG models - the brightness noticeably flickers all the time. So even if the panel is g-sync compatible, you will have a bad time if you expect it to work flawlessly. I personally just turned it off all together.

[@Dirty_Hobo]

can't wait till OLED monitors will finally be affordable in a few years.

[@Prioz__]

If you don’t have a good pc these monitors aren’t for you anyways tbh these monitors are specifically for high end gaming rigs

[@deekkan]

The Asus might not have speakers but it does have USB-C 90W and KVM switch. Which could be worth mentioning. If it only had the same speakers as LG also and maybe less rog design it would be near perfect!

[@notwatchingrn]

my bank account slapped me as soon as i clicked this video

[@maxfmfdm]

Im using a 65 inch hisense and I am never ever going back. I had all the other stuff. Its the most potent combination of big, bright, high contrast, high color gamut, accurate colors. I only run 136hz because outside of that it tears on vrr but I am sure now that its on par or better with the high refresh that sacrifice significantly in at least one of those areas.

[@spiritey8235]

my bank acc gave me a warning before when i clicked on this video could you do budget monitors next?

[@Prioz__]

The Alienware 360hz 1080p ips are pretty budget rn like 329$ anything oled is going to be in the 500$ range and up

[@codywertanen]

definitely would love to see a review for that UCG Dual Mode monitor. 4K for content stuff and daily work and then switch to 320hz seems like it would be awesome. Also for only $500 is crazy even if its 85% as good as OLED.

[@ohmyTalal]

I got the LG coming from 540hz /360hz/ 4K 144hz. I can confirm that the LG is worth every penny It's like having 2 monitors in one. If u have a high-end PC & Money just buy it, it will take you a few days to get used to it due to the size but I ended up pushing it a bit further, and that worked for me. You can switch from 4K to 1080p mid-game with no issue unless u have a second monitor Sometimes ur game will switch to 2nd me monitor just saying

[@thevalorantguy8615]

1440p 360hz glossy sounds like a dream. Might try get my hands on that msi

[@rowanyuh6326]

I love my Alienware 360hz it looks great in Siege, Kenshi, Bf2042, terraria. My complaint is lack of hdmi 2.1 which the MSI one has and microscratching that happens very easily, grease also adheres to it incredibly well which is bad. The factory color grading is a nice touch.

[@diligaf1000]

As someone who mainly games om console it feels like we are literally decades behind 😂 500hz is so insane id love to see what that plays like

idk either, only optimum plays at 540hz

[@protato911]

its crazy ever since Oled hits the monitor market we been getting so many good monitor in other panel type at a very competitive price, even the top tier OLed isn't too bad considered mini-led flagship from years ago can cost way more then 1k.

[@DELTA9XTC]

I can tell you from experience (got it 2 weeks ago) that the text clarity is fine with the ASUS PG32UCDM, you don't see any colours at the edges at all. Like zero, completely nothing. This is obviously only noticeable with a magnifying glass lol when I'm getting extremely close to the screen, like touching my nose type of close, I can see kinda a minimal greenish shadow/line at the top of each letter. And only on a dark background like KZbin comments for example. On a white background, I can't see anything that shouldn't be there. And again - from anything further away than nose touching distance, you can't see anything anyway. I had an IPS panel before, my QD-OLED's text clarity is def not worse than that. Looks completely fine. And regarding light and reflections - yeah, I always have the curtains down when I'm on my pc during the day (already did that with my IPS monitor) and I also don't have any windows right behind or in front of me to begin with. Only left and right of me, but those are like 3m and 6m away from my desk. I also don't have any lamps behind me. So even during the day I don't get any reflections. I can't notice anything. What I can attest to, tho, is the upgrade in picture quality in a dark room. But that's obvious - a monitor with very good colours that pop out, glossy coating, will look even better when it's in a dark room, compared to the same display in a bright(er) room. Doesn't mean it's bad otherwise, not at all. I was worried about the colour fringing of those 4k240 QD-OLED panels, but my worries were totally unfounded. Also I had a matte finish before on my IPS, and from now on I def won't ever go back to a matte finish. I do understand the passion some have about that. There are certain situations a matte or semi-matte coating is the only reasonable option tho, so (semi)glossy isn't the best option for everyone!

for the first two monitors, the main difference is that the asus has a usb c port, which can be a real gamechanger for an allday-monitor

Really hoping we see some many-zoned mini-LEDs become worthy. I really like the flexibility of taking my monitor into a brighter room or my patio. But there just aren't many offerings yet for monitors (where-as there are plenty of amazing TVs with mini-LEDs). I might end up getting a 5k w-OLED when they come out next year. Notably though, I'm not doing competitive e-sports.
