[@andreaswoehler26]

Thx for the review! I‘ll probably wait for 27“ 4K WOLED. LG Display is supposed to start production at the end of next year. So in two years it could be avaiable. 32“ are to big for my desk and I got so used to 27“ 4K with my Sony Inzone M9. I stick with it. I only do console gaming and office work on the monitor. Also got a LG C1 65“ OLED TV. So I‘m fine. Hopefully 😅

i cant use oled due to PWM oled flicker sensitivity which 10% of people have, the pulse x modulation must not enter the high area in the iee standard for example 240/360hz x 10-20 modulation, until they create 3000+ pwm, or BOE 1920+ then i cant use them due to migraines and eye pain

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Where did you get the statistic of 10% having an issue with that? But sorry to hear that!

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Thank you!

[@pierrekama]

If you have to compare this monitor to Asus ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP, which one do you prefer for competitive gaming and work. And in terms of the feeling of fluidity, which one do you prefer? and one last question, is there a significant difference between 1440p and 4K?

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Two different monitors aimed at different crowds. There is a difference between 1440p and 4K, but having the ability to output 4K at high FPS is another thing.

[@juanblanco7898]

Aw yiss! I've been waiting for these new OLEDs to get featured on your channel. Thank you! May I ask about the tools and methodology you employ to test input latency?

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Glad you enjoyed it! I use SMTT for input lag testing.

[@checkoff8281]

Rtings reviewed this model and said it has bad input lag, wirh lower framerates. At which rate/rates did you test? And what firmware version? Fee days ago msi released new firmware adressing „latency and response time“, so maybe they fixed it, if it ever existed. Maybe rtings made something wrong.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

@@checkoff8281 do not trust Rtings and their false numbers. Tested at max refresh rate.

[@checkoff8281]

@@TotallydubbedHD Ok maybe you could test it with 60Hz and prove rtings wrong.

​@@checkoff8281maybe you can go ask them how they tests and why they got results so wrong? Popcorn at the ready.

[@XRMarcus]

Would this or the QPX model be good for the PlayStation 5? HDMI2.1 and Oled be nice and fast not worried about 4k as only play call of duty

[@NamlessKing]

In FPS games such as COD which better settings for pixels slow or fast ?

[@W1DST3R]

You should get some better/warmer lightning in your studio, it looks very harsh on video

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Nah, I'm good. And it's not a studio, it's my desk, workspace and my room.

[@checkoff8281]

This could easily be fixed in post. More important is to fix exposure when you film your screen :)

[@TotallydubbedHD]

@@checkoff8281 hey, if you think you can do better, please be my guest. It takes days to create videos and years of knowledge to compile. I'm happy with my videos.

[@checkoff8281]

@@TotallydubbedHD Well im just saying not to use auto exposure on your camera while filming a screen would be a little upgrade. And thats nothing you need to learn for years. Just set it up and done :) Same with warm colors (which i think is ok in your videos and doesnt matter), its not a big deal to do that...

[@TotallydubbedHD]

​@@checkoff8281not using auto exposure makes no sense when the screen is constantly changing brightness levels in games!! These comments aren't appreciated, you have no idea how much work goes behind the scenes to get videos live!

Do you recommand msi 271qrx over the aorus fo27q3? Which is better?

The aorus one doesn’t seem to do anything better and is $50 more so I’d go with MSI

[@Feranzyfps]

[@Womey_]

@@TotallydubbedHD Welp no happy days, unit came with significant bumps, divits and burn-in on the model. Seemed to be an open-box return to MSI, someone noticed the defects with their unit and returned. Checked the time, had 10 minutes on it. I don't think they "refurbished" or did anything but resell it back. Pretty disappointing, hopefully this helps someone who may fall down this path of refurbished units from MSI.

[@shauncarroll5071]

I have recently purchased the MPG above before I had chance to update it I plugged it straight into my Xbox series x and the I’m pretty sure the HDMI ports were still in pc mode but it let me run the console at 4k 120 HDR I was under the impression I needed to switch it to console mode on the pc first. Anyway I played a few games of fifa and the input lag was fine so I’m not sure. I’ve since updated it to FW11 and it’s now in console mode. Is there any need to keep it in console mode? And also do I need adaptive sync turned on when using it with the Series X?

[@TotallydubbedHD]

I don't own a console, so can't say - but it's unlikely it's running 4k 120. Freesync is up to you to decide.

[@hkbornin1995]

I understand DSR off will limit hz to 240, i would like to play pubg in 1728*1080 so therefore i have to turn dsc off in order to customise resolution in nvida panel, would you let me know if 1728*1080 is one of the pre-set solution in nvida panel? thanks so much for your info and if any advise.

Ha, let's see!

[@the1ito]

Highly doubt they would make a 1440p monitor with an oled screen on 24 inches

[@bergdk237]

@@the1itoI did mention also IPS! I don't care to much now, if it is one or the other. Most important is the monitor size, refresh rate, and as of now ULMB 2! The rest is more like a bonus to me! Asus has one 1080p 540hz with ulmb2, but it is way to expensive for a 1080p TN panel in my opinion. For instance a 24.5 inch, 1440p 360hz, IPS with ULMB2,with a little better pricetag, would be dope!

[@lordfalke8117]

Hey man, I've been watching a ton of your reviews over the last few days as I'm looking for a new monitor (you're amazing, lol) Currently I'm tending towards the HP 27q as it basically ticks all the boxes (refreshrate, inputlag, image clarity, color accuracy), the only thing I'm worried about is the "low" contrast that comes from an IPS panel. So far I've used a 24" VA from AOC (I think the C24G1), I was quite happy with it though it broke recently. I've never paid attention to VA smearing therefore I'm not sure how bad it was but having the dark blacks was very nice. Now, I haven't found a VA panel yet that really ticks all my boxes (in terms of color accuracy in particular). So, maybe you (as an expert) can give me a bit more input on this, how disappointed am I gonna be by the blacks on an IPS? (I don't generally sit in a pitch black room, so it might not be as noticeable). Do you have a VA recommendation with good colors and image clarity?

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Heya, Thank you, much appreciated, glad you're enjoying the content :) As for the question: that's a hard one to really answer; as it's subjective, but indeed VAs will have MUCH better deep blacks vs IPS panels, as for another recommendation, have you considered this AOC (although this doesn't have good colour accuracy for image editing, but won't be an issue for gaming): kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYfNqnahg6hpnpI

[@lordfalke8117]

@@TotallydubbedHD yeah, miniled is looking really good. I might just stick to my Mac for Image editing and who knows, maybe one day they'll introduce an srgb clamp through a firmware update. If you say the colors look good for gaming I'll probably give it a shot.

The firmware update msi released mentioned optimised of input lag, so I thought this gave some validity to rtings findings in terms of input lag being higher than usual for the same panel i.e dell/alienware's 1440p 360hz qd oled. Not a fan of their blanket number rating for 'office' 'gaming' or 'brightness' etc but the data itself seems comprehensive and useful. What do you think is problematic about them?
