[@russellbower2557]

4k needs 32” to take advantage of that resolution and glossy panels like MSI has that nice pop in clarity

[@SixPathsOfJin]

Definitely not if also using for productivity. There's a big difference between 4k and 1440p in a 27"

[@josephocenada]

yeah too small, just for productivity... I have 42 inch and I wouldn't opt for smaller screen to run 4k games and watch movies

[@jamiew2574]

Looks pretty cool. I actually just brought the AW3423DWF which got delivered today which I’ll be setting up Saturday alongside my new pc. Got the AW3423DWF for £699 which is £180 off RP so thought it was a great deal (at least hope so!). Just to add - I’m coming from gaming on a ps5 on a 55” TV so wanted a larger monitor (not interested in a dual setup) which was curved (and predominantly for gaming and occasional viewing) & this seemed a great choice especially with all the reviews I have seen across KZbin and reviewer websites.

[@madeinnola]

How the Cross hair look? I barely used it on my 144hz LG finally tried to use it on my 240hz AW2723DF after having it for months, was highly disappointed

[@diablodima]

Wasted opportunity, should have gotten OLED and showcased Runescape 3 in 4k All Ultra - you can't imagine how colours pop playing Runescape with OLED. Lobsters never been more red and yew trees never been more green!

[@CasualPerspectiveGames]

2:59 WOAHHHH

[@hanswurst6742]

613€ in Germany...man I hate this new trend. Even worse with the new MSI and Gigabyte Oled 32inch that cost double

[@hyperfuse7319]

the LG 32GS95UE suits certain ppl. the FHD 480hz on the LG suits me well. i do work and video content on 4k and when i play cs2, i swap to FHD 480hz. and CS2 on a 1080P 32inch is decent. All you need to do is up the anti aliasing settings and it will look clear and not blur at all. I can play well on that. totally no issue. But of course FHD in desktop, yes its ugly due to it being blur. But i will just flick back to 4k when i am in desktop and change to FHD 480hz when i am in cs2.

[@mirelflutur3391]

I know is off topic but does anyone have issues installing windows 11 24h2 ? If yes .. how do you fix the error about the missing driver ...?

[@yarincool1237]

5k-1440p 240-480hz dual mode would be like the perfect monitor, 1080p isn't enough for competitive games imo, but 4k and above feels useless for competitive so 1440p is best for competitive games.

[@brettcoles5262]

27 inch 4k in correct monitor to use. Changed from 32 inch to 27 inch and 27 inch is just the perfect size for gaming. On the 4K to 1080p issue here, after playing 4k you just can't go back to 1080p, just saying the truth.

[@d4nith3]

Mattw coating. 👎 QD Oled Glossy finish is the way to go.

[@dainluke]

This is perfect. 4K 180Hz and 1080p 360Hz are basically all you need. Madness.

[@itsdeonlol]

Nice monitor!

[@igotthatcrypto7169]

I watched the entire video!

[@YzorYzor]

Hard pass. 4k 165 Hz and 280 Hz 1440p it would be fine but 1080p on 27 inch is a HELL NO.

[@mickeylickey]

Gonna pick this up next year. I want wait a few years and let OLED mature more.

[@TheAngry-AmericanGuy]

WAY TOO SMALL! WE NEED MORE 38 INCH 4K MONITORS AND * AFFORDABLE OLED'S * ONLY! *

[@konradandjispro8681]

🤨☠️ Bro but How it is Impossibrl....

[@FisherMoyA]

lel

[@trump24-32]

send me one eh 😂

[@craigshagey9999]

The price for me ther is better out there and cheaper

[@JahonCross]

There are cheaper 4k 27in monitors out there.

[@raeshalgoul8505]

👍✌

[@322-Dota2]

it's not INTEGER SCALED in 1080p. Never buy it, it's a scam.!!!

[@Joshda039]

Wow

[@Chicken-o5e]

What does integer scaled mean?

[@322-Dota2]

@@Chicken-o5e when 1 pixel made of 4, which means perfect crisp image.

[@TheMrMetallozkar]

You know, it would be helpful if you added a bit more detail, like wtf is integer scaled and what are the implications of not having that.

[@chasepewitt3439]

It’s not for no reason tho we don’t have ports with high enough data transfer rates. The closest thing being the newest display port2.1 (which no consumer gpu has at the moment) but even then doesn’t have enough transfer speed still to do integer scaling fully. It’s a hardware limitation thing.
