The best OLED Monitor? - LG 27gr95qe-b Review

[@theexpatgunner]

Was almost ready to buy but will now wait for the 2024’s LG 27GS95QE which is about to be announced at CES. It promises to offer double the SDR peak brightness at 400 nits.

[@TechTicals]

Brightness is not really bad here, it’s ok, bigger issue is the hazing effect the coating gives, makes reading next or browsing the web very messy.

[@V1CT1MIZED]

1920x1080 is technically 2K. 1440p is QHD which is 4x 720p.

[@colin1992]

I have this monitor myself, I am a Series x user. I primarily play games like forza, cyberpunk. COD, mortal kombat, and this monitor works perfect for that, I do see that Msi and Alienware is coming out with some qd oled monitors in 32 and 27 form factor, they look enticing, however I've heard that Samsungs qd oleds have more risk of burn in than Lg woled. As much as I want to get the qd oled, I'm going to keep this monitor becuz it works perfect for my use case which is strictly gaming. I love it. Sometimes it won't finish an image clean but after a few triggers it finishes eventually. If I were to edit video on my Mac mini, I'd use an ips monitor instead.

Has it had any dead pixels or burn in I want a monitor dat can last me for almost a year or more ?

[@Chino-in6ln]

​@@uzihellrising2045I've had it for about a year , no issues yet

[@marcgil256]

How’s the brightness issue? Is it really bad? Or is it not that bad? I’m thinking of getting one this weekend, but I’m a little hesitant because every review of this monitor mentions how weak the brightness is.

[@Chino-in6ln]

@marcgil256 still makes me squint when playing I'm a dark room . I get uts not as bright as some monitors . But it's definitely bright enough for me

[@Chino-in6ln]

@marcgil256 if anything nows the time to get one . I saw a few days ago the price was 800 . I bought mine for a 1000

Great review!

[@TechTicals]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tonig.1706]

Very good video!

[@E.Dragos]

Any new toghts so far? Its more cheap now and its tempting.

[@TechTicals]

If you’re only going to be 1440p gaming and you can’t push more than 240fps, get this. Otherwise the alienware 360hz oled, or the lg dual 4k 240hz + 1080 480hz is better

cant turn on hdr mode in windows 11 need help guys

[@TechTicals]

Are you connected with the included cable? What device are you connected to?

@@TechTicals solved. connected to pc with HDMI 2.1(included). rx7900xt AMD adrenalin says that 10 bit pixel format does not support hdr. had to turn it off in case to use hdr

[@Zilon112]

Is the fan on the monitor audible? I just received my unit and the fan or whatever is really loud and almost sounds like coilwhine. How is it with your model if you try to listen?

[@TechTicals]

I don’t think there is a fan, mine is dead silent, probably take it back

i have a Xbox series x with this monitor and i cant get hdr to turn on do i need to send it back

[@raiderscorpio562]

you have to enable hdr in the xbox display settings . worked fine for me

i’m in australia and i’ve just picked this up for $1350 from harvey norman! ;). very excited for it to come plus my new rtx 4080 7500f ddr5 build to come. oled should be here in 1 week, PC should arrive in 2 weeks

I still have my old glossy dell 1080p monitor with inbuilt speakers , still haven't given up on me.

[@yzuniga13sa]

Stop calling 1440p 2k, that is not a 2k monitor.

[@yzuniga13sa]

@polochris4697 exactly. 1080p is technically closer to 2k. People don't realize that 2k resolution is used in cinema, which is 2040x1556 or 2040x1080. There is no such thing as 2k for computer monitors.

[@TechTicals]

Bruhhh😂 thanks for informing me

[@tacomandon]

I see what your point is but this is just a common phrase. Like a “half ton” pick up truck which is a 1500…

[@TheJms1977]

If you want the best Hdr experience make sure to use windows 11 as it has proper calibration windows 10 is no good at Hdr, and to say the Hdr isnt amazing is a mistake its by far one the best experiences if set correctly games like cs go dont support Hdr so dont use it unless it supports it.

[@TechTicals]

Maybe i haven’t looked into this closely but i didn’t notice a difference with win 11 hdr collaboration

i play much better on my oled slg 45 ultra wide 240 hz and i have also the lg 27 oled same one u have here...i stream on 27 but i play better on ultra wide

[@TechTicals]

Interesting. what kind of games do you play?

[@ImakeTanks]

I returned mine, the LG 27 OLED it isn't 100% flicker free it makes me sick and eyes hurt, can't run it in 1080p over 60hz, too bright at 0% in dark room. 27 is too big for competitive gaming which is why all pros use 24 inch 1080p. The stand doesn't adjust all the way down in bottom out position, at 1000 dollars and 27 inch it doesn't have speakers built in and it has very little opinions in the menu for such a high dollar monitor. I am 10x more happy with my $150 100% flicker free 165hz Asus Tuf gaming 23.8” 1080p monitor ips monitor with built in speakers.

[@GradietPanda12345]

All this sounds like a subjective personal you problem

[@ImakeTanks]

@@GradietPanda12345 Light emitting diode are subjective? Where you ever diagnosed with autism?

[@TechTicals]

Probably a problem with your model, I do not see any flicker my friend, although there is some brightness change when viewing smaller windows, not in game though

[@ImakeTanks]

@@TechTicals Flicker-Free No PWM Dimming Frequency The LG 27GR95QE isn't flicker-free because there's a slight dip in brightness that corresponds to the refresh rate, the brightness dims every 4-5ms at all brightness levels, like PWM this flicker cannot be seen by the person unless you use specialized high speed cameras. People sensitive to PWM and flickering should stay away from this LG 27 OLED monitor. I had to return mine because the flickering made me sick and my eyes hurt after the first day testing the monitor, this is how they were designed to work, not a problem with my model that I returned.

[@3dimon3]

Its flicker free , all wine with mine ;)

[@XeqtrM1]

I mean you don't really need the HDMI 2,1 on a 1440p monitor plus the Asus 27 inch OLED monitor is superior over the LG OLED monitor it's brighter etc

[@TechTicals]

HDMI 2.1 gives you more bandwidth than DP 1.4 which is included on these. This means that my signal wont be compressed when running at 1440 244Hz 12bit, which means that there will be less latency. I really like that there is 2 on the LG. but you're right, the Asus has the better panel implementation.

[@Decki777]

I really like this monitor too bad it's not 360hz right now i have zowie 360hz monitor .

[@TechTicals]

Yeah the 360 will probably feel smoother, but this will give you a more responsive and cleaner image

[@Decki777]

@@TechTicals yeah and this oled has HDMI 2.1 which is great.

[@Wobble2007]

Matt screen, poor fine details, not a great monitor really, fine details is one of the most important things period for a gaming monitor, a 32" glossy 360hz+ RGB-OLED is what I'm after.

[@TechTicals]

Detail is pretty good in games, not for productivity though, I do think that in a perfect world, a monitor for this price should not have these issues

[@Wobble2007]

@@TechTicals Text clarity is the perfect benchmark for how good a monitor is at rendering fine details in games, so not great for RTS games for instance or RPG games, anything you play close up on a desk will suffer, fine for video and cinematic console games at a reasonable distance though, just not great for a PC gamer, even worse if you like emulation or pixel and indie type games, those sprite pixels need a nice sharp RGB screen to look their best, so does any good shader. It seems a lot of these new OLED displays forget they are supposed to be monitors, not TVs, TVs are viewed at some distance, monitors close up, in my case I like to be really close to the screen when playing games on a monitor, the two display types should be treated very differently in production, and a gaming monitor should never have a matt type display finish, always glass or glossy plastic.

[@TechTicals]

@@Wobble2007 I’ve compared it to my IPS panel on my laptop which has a higher resolution and ppi, in desktop applications reading text I agree with you, but when it comes to games, I can’t see any of the text fringing, I’m sitting very close to the monitor.

[@Wobble2007]

@@TechTicals I've noticed all sorts of horrible artefacts on these OLED panels with non-uniform sub-pixel layouts, chromatic aberration, as has been shown with VR modules, a non RGB stripe sub-pixel layout can dramatically drop resolution perception, trying to make shaders look good is impossible for instance, for some they may not even care, but if you are used to really high clarity RGB monitors, it may really turn you off.

Not even close to the best oled monitor

[@akashsxo]

Then tell me one

[@MrDutch1e]

​@AkashSingh-uk5ub asus 27" oled is far better. Doesn't have the terrible coating and gets 25% brighter. Also every ultrawide qd oled on the market is better and gets way brighter. They are only 165-175hz tho. There is super ultrawide monitors that are 240hz that are samsung gen 2 qd oled out that are the best of the best.

@@MrDutch1e Thanks,i have seen online too but ASUS haven’t launched the same in my region,so i have no other choice other than LG

[@MrDutch1e]

@AkashSingh-uk5ub LG is still good and has a burn in warranty but if you can wait you should probably wait. QD OLED monitors are going to be releasing gen 2 version likely beginning of next year and LG is supposed to be released a follow up version to this monitor. If you're on PC go with aw3423dwf from Dell if it's available. 3 year burn in warranty and far better brightness than this.

[@akashsxo]

@@MrDutch1e Really,thanks a lot for sharing this valuable info. I will definitely wait for the newer models as i am not in hurry anyways.
