CORRECTIONS - The caption reads 144hz for the Alienware ultrawide OLED but it's actually up to 175hz; The AOC 24G2SPU is also listed as 144hz, but is 165Hz. Apologies for these, we will put an extra level of checks into our video review stage to prevent these in the future

[@remygallardo7364]

Just wanna say thank you for your channel and your bizarrely perfectly timed videos related to my needs. I got a huge bonus this year for the holidays and its been about 8 years since I last built a rig so I'm gearing up to go from several generations out of date to top of the line and your content is catching me up in record time with excellent recommendations across the board. Very excited to see what sales come along this holiday season and see what I can get to assemble next year!

[@MrAnimescrazy]

What is your budget or what is going to be your budget when you buy the parts? Are you going with an all white or all black build? For the gpu amd or nvidia? For the cpu amd or intel? Will you buy the top of the line?

I got a Cooler Master GA271 which set me back £140 Not actually that bad for the price, 1440p at 27” with HDR (not the best but fine) VA at 100Hz, so not the best panel, but hey for the price it’s bloody amazing, and a great budget option

[@NathanThierry-ss8nz]

Thank you for your guide ! It really helps!

[@dbPopRocks]

Great video and very informative! Thank you for helping me figure out what monitor I should get. Cheers

[@losslessthoughts]

My next monitor and TV both will be OLED but I will use what I have until they die! My monitor is actually a Monoprice Darkmatter, it is 27" 1440p 180hz with an IGZO-IPS panel. I have NEVER been satisfied when viewing the UFO test until doing so on this monitor. Virtually no blur/ghosting, it is incredible! I was suckered in to buying monitors with VA panels in the past due to their much higher contrast ratios but I learned the hard way that the motion blur and ghosting was abysmal.

[@sQubanaut]

[@patshiii]

On mid to high-end oled displays, some brands use technologies to prevent the burn in of screens. Basically, if the screen detects a static image in a region of the display, it will cycle it by a one pixel margin in a circular pattern so that the pixels are actually refreshed.

[@muhammadzhafranabdurrahim]

what brand and series?

[@patshiii]

@muhammadzhafranabdurrahim I know that Corsair and LG monitors have it. You can look up the XENEON 27QHD240 OLED and XENEON FLEX 45WQHD240 OLED for example.

[@Furious321]

Yeah I'd be surprised if the OLED options didn't offer a Pixel Shift feature. LG has been putting that in their TVs for a decade.

[@James-db6ez]

I've found OLED to be particularly bad for screen burn, even with the pixel refresh on. This is particularly frustrating for gaming given the common presence of a HUD which is in the same place for long periods of time. This is with LG and Samsung products, for reference. I have personally gone back to LED and higher refresh rates until this technology matures a little further.

[@ARecklessNinja]

awesome video marcus!!! I personally have a samsung odyssey neo g8 at a steal of a price so it's amazing. This video is super helpful/informative for anyone who's brand new to this kind of stuff as well

[@SuhDudeThomas]

Love the video! I recently just purchased a new monitor for my series x and would like to hear your thoughts on it. It’s an Alienware AW2724DM 1440p 27in with 165hrtz and 180?hrtz over clock capable.

I am deciding between the AOC miniLED 1440P VA or the Asus Oled pg27aqdm 1440P for all types of use except working, especially for playing, consuming content on the Internet such as KZbin, Twitter, searching for information and browsing pages and I read a comment that at 60 Hz it is not They work well as if it were an LED, I don't know if that's true, what do you recommend?

[@DJaquithFL]

I own both the Corsair Flex 240Hz and Alienware AW3423DW 175Hz OLED monitors, and for gaming, the Corsair Flex with its 800R is by far the best gaming monitor I've owned to date. Absolutely once there's a 5K version of it, hopefully 500Hz DP 2.x OLED, I'll buy it. OLED is absolutely capable of 1kHz /

[@crism1912]

i agree!! i love my flex so much

[@tadejdanev5030]

what about burn in risk?

[@DJaquithFL]

@@tadejdanev5030 .. If you leave it on CNN 24/7 without following the pixel refresh guidelines, sure after about 6 months, maybe a year you'll have burn in. Otherwise for everyday use in gaming and following the refresh when it tells you to do it. Hell no!

[@uncletupac1545]

Hi. If you had to pick between the Alienware AW2723DF or the LG 32GQ850-B, what would you choose for primarily gaming with occasional media use? Is LG 32GQ850-B on 32" as crisp as Alienware AW2723DF on 27"? Wich one is visually better and crisp image and provides a better experience mostly in gaming? Thank you in advance for your answer!

[@SamHutter]

Straight to the point, great video

[@petercruz1993]

I got a Lenovo 1080p 144hz IPS 24" monitor for £109 on Black Friday. I could spend £1k on a monitor if i wanted to, but honestly the experience is fantastic. The only upgrade I'd make is OLED or 360hz. I've a owned QHD high refresh monitor before, and I prefer 1080 for value and nailed high FPS.

[@Cleisthenes607]

When it comes to HDR one thing I'm confused about is for example with ASUS OLED laptops. I can pick in the myasus app the DCI-p3 colour profile or the viviid DCI-P3 coloor profile but then I can't stream HDR video content on youtube, I have to enable HDR in windows 11 but by doing that I can't use any of the MyAsus colour profiles, so am I missing out? What kind of HDR is windows using, is as good as the colour profiles in the myasus app? It's really confusing as I'm not sure if its using the entire colour space, windows is not clear about that.

[@Majeedz93]

I've been researching 1440p monitors for hours and after coming to the conclusion that the GP27Q is the best 1440p monitor, I find a video that supports my opinion. it's unfortunate that I can't find it where I'm from and importing it would almost double the price. what is the best second option in your opinion?

Wait so ive been seeing videos about monitors and im thinking about buying one. do i need a console in order to use it or could i use windows 11 and download games from there??

[@Anonymous-kp1xr]

If the monitor does not have a display port of 1.4, is there any benefit in having a refresh rate of more than 144 hz? For example some monitors are 165 to 180 hz and also feature hdr10 which is unable to run 1.2 displayport. So where is the benefit?

[@vergaerd]

Any input, 2cents or suggestion is appreciated: Currently, I can't decide between a 38 inch curved or non-curved UltraWide. Its between nano IPS vs normal IPS and 3840x1600 vs 3440x1440 (or 12:5 vs 21:9), which is -even if small, probably a noticeable difference in PPI to me in this ratio. They're both 144hz, which is what I'm aiming for. I'm buying the UW for productivity and I also do a little casual gaming of various types. It will replace my current 27inch 1440p ,144hz screen. The curved nano IPS 12:5 screen by LG is twice as expensive though and I'm not sure if its worth it. I'm worried the 12:5 aspect ratio could be even more of an "issue" with certain games than 21:9 already is. If the LG was OLED I wouldn't have hesitated for the price but.. its not. TIA

[@mugensekai]

I have a 38 inch UW thats 3840x1600 and it is a noticeable difference (at least for me) compared to a 3840x1440 in terms of the amount of code I can fit vertically. It's an IPS, and I don't have any experience with nano IPS so I can't comment. I have a 27 1440p actually above the 38 inch as well. I've casually played some games on the UW (Doom, CS 1.6), and it's 60Hz so meh. In your boat, I'd personally opt for the 3840x1600. I refuse to go to a 3840x1440 at least if I intend to use it for productivity. Gaming wise I didn't notice anything in doom at least. Good luck.

Im considering buying the new ASUS Tuf Gaming VG249QM1A. The main games i play is Fortnite and Rocket league but mostly Fortnite. The monitor that i consider getting is a 24" (23,8) Moniter and i think its the perfect size for competitive gaming. The monitor can also get all the way up to 270Hz and has 1920x1080 resolution. I also have a 32 inch moniter as of now but im tired of playing fortnite on it since it feels way too big. But the best thing of all is that i can use my 270Hz 24" monitor for Fortnite and Rocket League and then ill use my 32" moniter for other games such as Sea of Thieves, Raft, etc. Should i buy the moniter or not? (its on discount right now -17%) it costs $262 in my country as of now and it normally costs $319

As a Gigabyte M34WQ daily driver, I can confirm it's well worth a punt if you're looking for a budget ultrawide that can double-up as a work monitor. The built-in KVM switch is what convinced me to invest, and being able to click a button at 5pm and instantly switch from my various Excel work spreadsheets to gaming in 1440p, 144hz glory is brilliant.

[@Arney0408]

How does the kvm work with a second monitor which doesn’t have the switch?

[@intheinaka]

​@@Arney0408it doesn't unfortunately, though it works for me as I usually have KZbin or Netflix playing on the second monitor from my PC, while I have the work laptop up on the Gigabyte - the switch makes flipping back and changing videos pretty painless. But yeah definitely something to consider if that's a deal breaker.

​@@Blackstar-ti4pyI've not found it a problem tbf! I personally find 34 inches to be about the sweet spot for sitting at the desk (I would say my desk is about average size) and not finding it uncomfortable.

You think the odyssey g7 (2020) is still worth it? Really want a VA because of the contrast but am not ready to spend for OLED. Thanks!

[@FJAD94]

G6 better or aoc miniled 1440P 180hz is the best

[@leavinx]

LOVE this guide planning on getting a 1080p and 165hz monitor.

[@EtErNaLz_Awelon]

Thoughts on the KOORUI GN05? Its 1440p 240hz IPS for around 300$ which is suspiciously cheap for Bulgaria.

Thanks for a great Gaming Monitor guide! PC Centric, if you hadn't had that Alienware Monitor, what other monitor would you have chosen to use? Would you have chosen one of all the ones you mentioned in your video, or would you have chosen a completely different one, if so which one?

[@PcCentric]

So for me personally, the 38 inch version of the Alienware ultrawide is best, as I mainly do video editing and love ultrawide, but if I was going to buy one, i'd get the OLED!

[@Blackstar-ti4py]

And which one isnt alienware 😂

I’m an artist and a gamer and just bought a truly beastly new computer. I’m so overwhelmed by all these choices! Do they have hybrid monitors for both gaming and art?

[@conorturton]

OLED, even if it's a lower 120Hz refresh rate. There is nothing like an OLED.

Man speaks the truth. Bought an LG C2 to go with my 4090 build... Dear Gawd. RE4 remake on HDR... Disgustingly pretty. I've never stared at a puddle in a game so long.

[@delta8731]

QD-OLED babbbyyyyy

[@giarc00007]

monitor wise they are great. dont recommend to use tvs for pc gaming though. i have a lg c2 and with gsync you do get quite a bit of vrr flicker with it. got myself a lg monitor and its much better. just use my c2 for tv and console gaming

[@MrAnimescrazy]

​@@ninjapirate47 i went with an all white full tower build with the gigabyte aero oc 4090/ 7800x3d/ 64 gigs of ddr5 on my lg c1 and damn do games look good.

@@giarc00007 Also a C2 user. You need to cap 5fps below max refresh rate to prevent pixel overdrive. You also need to always stay at the max capped refresh rate in order not to experience flicker. I only notice the flicker with loading screens and sometimes in static menus. Having said that you do need a beefy GPU...at least RTX 4080 for all eye candy.
