IDK if you have heard of this but this monitor was reviewed by another youtuber, TheDisplayGuy, and they also found that this specific monitor does have some amount of grain not present on other glossy displays. That would probably explain why it didn't fix the oily look on the display fully.

I think matte coatings are horrendous in general. It's the reason why 1080P at 24.5 Inches is no longer the gold standard anymore.

I'm not clear - is the LG also an OLED or is it an IPS? I'm trying to move up and away from a 24" TN panel - but it would be a bummer to have to look at a 'dirty white page' effect. Can one really and truly get used to that, as you say? If the dirty white screen thing is due to the screen coating - and it is present in IPS and in OLED displays, then this needs to be addressed. We need a brainiac to fix this, yeah? BTW i looked at the glossy ASUS you have there and it's called a WOLED or white OLED. What's that about? Cheers

I have been using Oled TV's as my display for going on 3 years now, before that I was using Qled. I think the problem with alot of these Oled "Monitors" is they are so heavily geared towards gamers that they jam a bunch of rubbish presets into them which make them really difficult to calibrate out of the box. You would think a TV has that problem but they really don't. I was using the 55" LG CS for a while but opted to go down to the LG C2 Evo 48" and the experience for me is far better as the pixel density is far better. In terms of colour accuracy, the C2 calibrates extremely well and for me as a 3d animator, vfx artist and Game environment and cinematic creator I am loving this display. The colour accuracy along with an incredible HDR experience when gaming really makes this screen pop. One thing I noticed in your video was when your Asus display was off (not even going to talk about the matt display as those just leave an ugly taste in my mouth) but when the display was off, it wasn't completely black like the LG Oled TV's I have. When my screen is off the panel is pitch black, it doesn't have that grey/brown look to it like yours did. I wander if that isn't some sort of filter on the display that is causing your dirty white effect as I don't have that issue on my screen at all? The colours are incredibly uniform.

[@jb8478]

I'm not really aware of the "dirty' screen. The glossy monitor looked warmer while the matte monitor looked cooler. If I was to turn my monitors overall brightness down then I might could see why it would look dirty, but the problem would be that it's just too dim making the white washed out a tad, or having a smudged effect instead of a true bright white. Could just overall screen brightness by the issue you are having? Of course there is also that fine balance between monitor brightness and contrast to think about as well.

[@chubbysumo2230]

I noticed this same thing with my corsair Xenon Flex. Unless there is some other color up, the white looks almost like its dirty. I think its supposed to do that as a way to save the OLED screen from having some burnin issues quickly. Its like it intersperses pixels on/off to prevent burn in as well as flash-blinding someone. I was playing pubg and I was literally blinded by a flashbang because the screen got so bright.

[@shodan6401]

I think that the problem you are trying to solve is not related to the monitor finish. It's because of the brightness limiter of OLED panels. You can turn it off. It might be in the User Menu. But you might have to access the Service Menu. The display is crushing the White, and it's dynamic. It does it more the larger the solid white area. You need to turn this off. Every brand and model is different, so where the setting is can vary a lot. But if you turn it off, that grainy effect will go away on both monitors.

[@xxzmk]

I swapped from a 4K TN Panel with matte finish to a 40 inch 4K TV with Gloss finish. Yes the 4K Monitor was really sharp on 28 inches compared to the 40 inch one. But tbh. at 110ppi I don't see much of an issue to just use an 40 inch screen. But what I realized is that many things appeared more clearer and more "sharpish", when I swapped to a gloss screen. Something on the monitor made it always look like it had extreme softness on the edge.

Apparently this monitor has a glossy coating on top of a matte coating (LG isn't making the panel without the matte coating), so you get the reflections of glossy with the graininess of matte combined. edit: people are saying this is a different panel than the matte WOLED and ASUS so far is the only one using it. It's certainly not the same glossy coating LG is using on their TVs, so I'm not sure what to believe.

I dont think the white problem is glass type. Its probablly APL = Average Picture Level and its kind dimming white color when its on big surface of the screen. More white it will dim it more. Try to make smaller window with white ond see if white is accurate. You should also update Asus monitor. I tried almost every OLED monitor before 32 inch 4k, high refresh rate ones and last one was that same Asus model you have and its actually not that glossy. LG's mat finish was deal braker for me.

I have had a lg oled for about a year now and yes, that void like black is just crazy.

I think the screen door appearance has to do with LG's pattern of sub pixel pattern compared to the traditional layout.

The perception of reflections is not limited to their visibility, but also to "how" it is visible. In the left image, the reflection is sharp-edged, and these sharp-edged reflections cut through the actual image, which is simply more disruptive.

I use an Alienware AW3423DWF. Great monitor with excellent color calibration. Although I did change the color gains from 100% on everything to 92% red, 93% green and left blue at 100% because I've never been a fan of overly warm/red default color profiles where even when I'm looking at a pure white image, it still looks oddly reddish orange. A trend I've always seen on virtually all monitors I've ever used (except one), not just OLED. I love the color vibrancy of OLED, but I also like a more neutral color profile where colors look like their supposed to and not have everything skewed toward red because someone thinks it makes the image feel "warmer". White should look white. Not red, not blue and not green (most monitors I've used tend to favor red out of the box, but I did have one that oddly enough tended to favor greens). Anyway, that's enough of that rant, the Alienware AW3423DWF uses a bit of weird coating. It's not quite completely matte, but also not quite completely glossy either. It's a little of both and I've been really happy with it. I know the guy at Hardware Unboxed has had some reservations regarding the coating Dell uses, but I've never noticed nor had any issues with it in use and I think Tim even admitted mostly the same experience. And I've actually been really surprised with it in all light conditions. I mostly use it in a dim or dark room, but even with full sunlight in the room, this has been the best monitor I've ever used with excellent image quality with pretty much no glare that I've ever noticed in use.

I've gotten used to the "dusty white sheet" on both my OLED monitor (which I'm using now) and my LG C1 (65", which is popular for a reason; I only got it after it was discounted, new in box, $600 off, which was about a reasonable price in my mind), as both share them on the generally uncommon event that I'm looking at a solid white image. I've always assumed it's just the nature of how said OLED are manufactured, and it's pretty low on my list of complaints (for example, my LG C1 is substantially dimmer than the Samsung QLED it replaced, even at maximum brightness beyond what's recommended, but it has other advantages, not the least it's four HDMI 2.1 inputs). In terms of monitors, the ROG PG32UCDM I'm using is a...sort of an older, bigger cousin to the monitor you reviewed, and aside from its different size and resolution...kind of similar? If I'm not mistaken, the glass is certainly quite glossy, though perhaps not as good a gloss as yours (the details aren't specific), and this was KZbin's favorite monitor for a period of time (or second favorite, after the MSI 32" OLED that uses the same panel and has almost the same feature set, for a hefty $350 discount). And it is a magnificent display overall--like you, I'm passing on the oversaturated color profiles in favor of a custom-set User Mode, sRGB, 6500K temperature to get uniformity between Windows 10 (and now 11), which is more important to me than a few games being night quite as oversaturated as you might expect (Overwatch 2 came to mind, but I don't play that, so that's fine). Really, I'm more annoyed at the very obvious reflection of closed blinds on the wall behind me (my desktop sits at a desk in probbly the best lit room in my house, even if I do close all the windows), and as with the LG C1, there's not really a good solution besides "Wait until the sun goes down." Hopefully this newer model manages those reflections better?

Still if she hadn't bought it I would happily bought it myself as it was the only OLED screen I had seen so far. But it's been years and I can't imagine the horror of having a glossy screen now. As I said I might be one of a smal group of users. I'm also older than most of those watching this channel, and it shows in my preferences being more for usability than rainbow LEDs and bling making your computer look cheap..

The only thing you're missing out on with a matte screen is eyestrain headaches. It is not as "murky" as Dawid is implying, nor does it fix the white issues. Do your health a favor and ignore how initially fancy the shinier screens look. The matte finish won't bother anyone unless they obsess over videos like this. Glossy = headaches.

QD-OLED isn't fully glossy though, it's semi glossy.

@@Simon_Denmark everything looks "semi-gloss" next to an LG display. LG went heavy gloss and vantablack level blacks.

I have the og lg 27” oled from last year. With the colors dialed in and the service remote for a brightness boost it is fantastic. No fomo

[@apostolos8734]

i did the same thing, with some time spent calibrating and the service remote, it looks amazing.

The ACER one does look pretty nice and sharp

I think my preference may be matte for laptops and glossy for desk monitors. My problem with glossy finishes on laptops is when you get an imprint of your keyboard smudged into the surface of the screen every time you close the lid. And like you said, I don't think the colors are all that different between displays that are actually properly color calibrated in my experience. The colors on a laptop with a good-quality screen and a matte finish is still going to look way better than a glossy laptop with a junk screen with low color gamut.

Can someone share the wallpaper Dawid used in this video? it looks awesome

[@stephenhood2948]

I have an LG Ultragear monitor. No OLED, but I have the same blotchy looking white on the display. I usually use dark mode in Windows, so its not very noticeable, but on a bright white screen it looks very blotchy.
