Which 2024 OLED Gaming Monitor is Best? LG vs ROG

[@SpawnPoiint]

What are your thoughts on the two monitors? Is one a clear winner?

[@thepadster123]

Neither are perfect: LG has the 'matte problem' Asus has the qd-oled 'raised blacks' problem. The god monitor is basically a mini lg c2....which for reasons known only to the gods they don't want to give us 🤷

[@drblossom-vb3kr]

bro you are the best I could not make a choice between the two and the reason why I discovered this monitor in the first place was because you reviewed them

[@Captain-Chats]

I had the ASUS and sent it back due to being locked out of colour temp / white balance settings which I find ridiculous. It looked way too orange to me in HDR. I’m now waiting for the LG for UK release as I’ve had it confirmed you can change colour temp in HDR mode. Any inside info on a UK release ? Also ordered the Magnus pro desk a few days back. 👌🏼 my set up will pretty much be the same as yours at this rate 🤣

[@88ksalcedo]

I was all for the lg until u mentioned the usbc on the ROG. I could just use the extra hdmi port but the usbc is just more convenient with the charging

[@williamchiawq3747]

​@@thepadster123 For price to performance, LG 42 in C series really the best overall. I really don't understand why LG don't even want stick with LG OLED TV specs especially on the coating. LG OLED glossy coating is actually one of the best anti-glare performance in the world. And they decided to make matte finish on their new monitors line up. I personally may not too annoyed with matte coating, but as Im using C1 as my monitor now, I definitely will still much prefer glossy finish. QD-OLED itself regardless either glossy or matte coating, the blacks under ambient light is really bad. The reason go for OLED is of course due to unbeatable contrast ratio in HDR. If the true black for QD-OLED require very low light environment , its really a dealbreaker for me.

Regarding glossy vs semi glossy, the QD OLED has raised blacks on lit rooms, so in the video, every time the lights are on the LG always looks better.

And that's a negative for the Asus one. I wont always be using it in a very dark room. Hummm

[@Lightking813]

which is interesting makes using the W oled alittle more appealing the other thing I noticed is it looked like the QD OLED was a bit too red

[@sawdust8691]

The Asus also has some harsh orange hue for some reason in comparison to the LG, making the colors look more natural on the LG. Maybe that's fixable in settings but as is the LG looks better to me here at all times.

[@NippleSauce]

​​@@Lightking813Agreed. Asus usually has a reddish tint to their displays. They also all have this "wide gamut" mode that usually makes it even more red lol. That can, however, be adjusted with custom User RGB color settings. But I'm literally so torn right now between sticking with my LG pre-order or with cancelling it and buying this Asus QD OLED... I kinda dig the Dolby Vision HDR support but don't know if there will really be that big of a difference in the two monitor's HDR performance for my usage on PC...especially because I generally use lower monitor brightness (even when using HDR). And also, I have never seen either of these OLED coatings or sub-pixel layouts in person before....so I'm not really sure which one I would prefer...

[@Xeonzs]

They're almost the same to me, so for me the main difference is the warranty, Dell, MSI and ASUS offer 3 years warranty including warranty (ASUS since this year february, so it covers all their new 3rd gen oled panels), meanwhile LG only offers 2 years warranty which doesn't include burn-in, therefor the LG is an instant skip for me. I'm sure people who prefer glossy (like me) make sure to darken their room if they're going to choose such a panel, always when I start to game I close the curtain. Matte is nice for people who do not control their household, for example living with parents or family and/or have their setup in the living room instead of a seperate office room.

[@dfasdfgdsfdf588]

I think the main deciding factor is whether you are willing to optimize lighting. QD-OLED is cheaper and has clearly better HDR real scene performance if you can optimize the lighting conditions. If you cannot optimize the lighting conditions then QD-OLED is a purple mess. I went for QD-OLED personally since my only light sources are behind the monitor anyway, it's much cheaper too.

"Clearly Better HDR real scene performance" No mate, the real scene performance would be not being locked up in a pitch dark room like a goblin when ever I want to use my 1500 euros monitor it would be me expecting a consistent performance of my monitor anytime I decide to press the power on button without doing mental gymnastics around the house to make sure the monitor will have actual black colours and not worse blacks than a 500 Euros Calibrated IPS panel.

[@dfasdfgdsfdf588]

​@@sadasd-n2f It's a fair point but I've been a basement dwelling goblin for a decade already and would continue to do so regardless of what monitor I purchase. That's why QD-OLED just has no downside for me and comes at a considerably cheaper price (Alienware 1200 euro). If circumstances were different I would seriously consider WOLED though.

[@caveskel2690]

@@sadasd-n2f but the matte coating on WOLED will destroy your experience and blacks anyway. the scattered light across the matte screen makes everything look bleak, makes blacks look like whiteish and makes the image sometimes hazy. the truth is simply that there is no perfect monitor yet. but if you aren't obsessed with matte coatings then QD-OLED should be better, despite the raised blacks

I think there is only one condition to compare both oled technologies, the lifespan. The Rtting did a nice job to compare both technology qd- and woled. According review of long burn in test, the qd oled are more prompted to be burn in because lack of white subpixel push the entire subpixel to reproduce white color. I would definitely take woled tech for production work and qd oled for content consumption. And of course glossy panel is a lot crisp in dimmed condition which is preferred by gamers. There are also a lot of users they used their woled's as productivity monitor since lg c2 and the big bunch of them never experienced burn in.

I love glossy and what's surprising is the hate I get for it. People hate that I like glossy screens. Matte coating did get better on last few monitors but the 3m usual coatings was AWFUL forever. As a general rule, matte coating absorbs the light and diffuses it. So sharp reflections get bigger and dimmer but also make bigger area on the screen greyt. While glossy is more mirror like but black is black, nothing disrupts sharpness and colors of the screen. There are different glossy coatings. I have great experience with lg oled tvs like lg c1 and the glossy coating on it makes the reflections MUCH dimmer and non intrusive. When I sit in my living room in the evening, I don't see any reflections even on black background. Now, I don't know how asus glossy compares to lg glossy. But at 2:46 if you pause with reflection of the ceiling lamp seen on both screens, you can see the matter on the right, the reflection is actually just bigger and imo way more distracting.

Matte finishes degrade color vibrancy, so I'd advise against promoting them. Most of us prefer glossy or traditional glass, which not only offers superior clarity but also maintains the standard set by leading brands like Apple, with the exception of the "nano-texture" option designed for those who really prefer it. They consistently use glass or glossy finishes, ensuring even older models like my MacBook 2017 outshine many of today's monitors from other manufacturers. Matte is often chosen primarily for its cost-effectiveness, not its quality.

The LG's blacks are stunning. Its a winner for me as i have a very light room.

This coating on the LG have no color so you will have deep black but with very grey scene and poor colors gamma it makes worst buying an Oled at this price whith only deep black !

2024 OLED! I would choose the LG for the additional 480Hz support on PC. Currently have the new 27GS95QE which uses the new MLA+ 275 nits screen and its been great so far.

[@sterlonb.digital777]

Raised black levels on the QD-OLED defeats the purpose of gaming on an OLED screen. Highly disappointed

[@jakeola10]

it's only an issue in a bright room. in a dark room black levels are perfect. And even with some less harsh indirect light in the room, black levels are still only almost imperceptibly raised compared to WOLED. If you plan to use your display during the day in a well lit room WOLED is the better choice, but otherwise if you're in a darker environment QD-OLED presents a much better image.

[@timpeeee1904]

@@jakeola10 its not better.. QD-OLED looks only Red in Pictures.. and WOLED is Natural ... LG wins over the overpriced ASUS. facts.

[@jakeola10]

@@timpeeee1904 doesn't matter how it looks in pictures, only in person. I've seen a QD-OLED and a WOLED tv side by side in person running the same content, and the QD-OLED is absolutely superior in its more natural color reproduction and panel uniformity. LGs WOLEDs look great definitely and there have been significant improvements over the years, but the QD-OLED is simply superior and an evolution of the technology.

[@dracidio]

I don't know about others, but I always preferred Glossy screen, I know about reflections, but the color pops more with Glossy panels

[@Wreaker6179]

I am going to take this in to consideration thank you

[@jakeola10]

It should be mentioned that QD-OLED has raised black levels only in a bright room. in the dark the black levels of QD-OLED are perfectly on par with WOLED. Showing QD-OLED alongside a WOLED in a bright room seems a little disingenuous without the added context of the role room lighting plays. It is absolutely worth mentioning the raised black levels of QD-OLED in a bright room as that is definitely a deal breaker for many, but the context is important so that the raised black levels aren't seen as a baseline flaw compared to WOLED but instead as a situational difference depending on your lighting environment.

[@elchancho8432]

I have the Asus and I love it! I mostly just play Apex and it looks amazing! To me glossy looks better because mattes color can look dull at times

[@SpawnPoiint]

Totally understand that too, the glossy always looks nicer in the right lighting too.

[@MrEggyman99]

I'm literally trying to choose between these 2 monitors currently, but STILL weighing up the differences and what would be better for me. More/better warranty or a matte finish that doesn't show me staring at myself in a daylit room

[@SpawnPoiint]

Haha that’s where I’m at too. Neither are 100% perfect.

[@thechanacy]

Any thoughts/future review on the GIGABYTE AORUS FO32U2?

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

Timestamp @ 6:30 giving me edge lit vibes. The purpose of OLED is to have perfect contrast and when you have raised blacks you kinda get somewhat the effect of blooming in a sense which i can also see the colors pop more ( extra brightness ) and so on with the QD-OLED. The ROG isn't bad by any means and these OLEDS are close but imo LG needs to get the perfect blacks in the mix with QD-OLED. Like in that screen the ROG looks brownish from raised blacks which again is somewhat the effect of when you get blooming. For me, Its LG 32GS95UE the picture is more in line of what an LG OLED C3 / C4 would be for the most part.

[@YDanny00]

Would you be able review the MPG 321URX QD-OLED and do another video comparing them? 2024 OLED

[@SpawnPoiint]

I’ll have a look at grabbing one

[@Gusbus001]

I have come to prefer the matte screen on the woleds. I like that I don’t see my silhouette on when gaming and the raised blacks on the qd oleds are just more reason to go with the lg. I do have really think that people have blown the whole matte vs glossy oled thing out of proportion.

[@henry9719]

Indeed, because the coating applied by LG on the OLED display looks clearer than the coating on ordinary displays.

@@thepadster123 In all fairness, videos like that are important. If people don't raise a stink about even having the *option* to choose a glossy display, then we'll basically never see any improvements. In an ideal world brands would give us both options and let us choose. If people never publicly voice their opinions then we just never get the option.

Hi, I am really enjoying your videos. Not because I am a Gamer, but because of the way you make them. One question: why would you not favour curved gaming monitors? I noticed that many of the Gamers on KZbin would prefer flat screens. Best, Tim

[@lennonation]

Is the purplish colour on Asus monitor when comparing the black levels of both monitors due to the lighting into room? If there it is a dark room, are the blacks same for both? This was not in the videos so I am asking as I use my monitor in dark environments most of the time.

[@SadGuyLuke]

The purple-ish colour comes from light bouncing in and back out so no ambient/direct light, no purple
