Which is the best 32” 4K OLED panel?

The raised blacks on the QD-OLED are such a dealbreaker for me. Even in a moderately lit room you can tell that the blacks are pinkisk gray. It’s a shame because I really like the glossy panel. Have to go with WOLED for this one.

What's weird to me is that WOLED never uses the RGB subpixels to display white, only the white subpixel. It seems to me that displaying RGB with the white subpixel would easily increase the brightness of white things, but for some reason WOLED only wants to use the white subpixel. I could see how this would increase the lifespan of RGB subpixels, but my guess is the real reason why is because the RGB subpixels don't exactly match the same white point of the white subpixel, and that's why they avoid displaying all of them at the same time unless you want to display a non white shade.

Couple of problems with the displayed AW3225QF: Turning DV and with HDR 1000, colors get clipped at about 500 nit brightness. That is, everything above it is white. If you calibrated the display, like with the Windows HDR calibration tool, brightness then gets limited to 500. In other words, the display is either dimm at 500 or won’t support Dolby Vision properly since that’s mastered for 1000 nits. - And, at HDR 1000, greys below 3% just slump to zero. What appears as fluke in reviews is very relevant in dark games, where detail in shadows gets lost (and on black hair in portraits).

I'm hoping there will be curved WOLED monitors sometime next year. I think curved will be more suitable for me as it can help with looking at the game's side user interface when curved. This can be of help for my visual impairment as I don't have to go out of my way to look closely at the sides. But to each their own. I don't want to go for an ultrawide because I'm blind in my left eye and I don't want something smaller than 4K. I have a 42" LG OLED TV and I use it as my monitor, including watching movies at night. Now if only there are dynamically-resizing monitors that slide the back monitors outwards towards the sides and brings it in with the sides of the 16x9 monitor. That would be great for movies and TV shows that show in 2.35:1 content.

The ambient light reflection issue on the QD-OLED panels is very real. In a normally lit room, the quantum dot layer is clearly visible, making blacks look not much better than those on an IPS panel. It's that bad. The panel is also difficult to clean - mist a clean, soft microfiber cloth with eyeglasses cleaner to remove fingerprints. Distilled water just spreads the finger grease around, making it nearly impossible to remove.

[@Echoes_of_Inquiry]

To get the most out of monitors with refresh rates of 480 Hz, 240 Hz, or 144 Hz, your PC needs to be capable of generating frames at the same rates, that is, 480 fps, 240 fps, or 144 fps, respectively. While a 144 Hz display will still look good, to achieve the best native performance, matching the frame rate to the refresh rate is essential. Otherwise, you won't experience the full potential of the higher refresh rates, and it might not make much sense to invest in them unless your system can keep up.

[@theexpatgunner]

Worth noting that LG WOLEDs for 2024 with GS in the name feature LGs new MLA+ WOLED panels with META 2.0 technology, giving them typical SDR brightness of 275 nits. This seems a decent step up from the sub 200 nits performance of LGs previous 2023 GR models.

[@peoplez129]

Which is virtually useless except for brightness chasers. I barely use my VA panel at 10-20% brightness, and it's 300 nit. That's barely 60 nits in regular usage. At most on a bright day I might use 50%, which is still just 150 nits. So 200 nits is more than enough. Same applies for night, where I wouldn't even dream of wanting high nits, because then you just get flashbanged by every bright scene. In a way I'm glad people complain about the brightness, because it means I can get the lower brightness monitors for discounted prices because no one thinks they want them because of everyone spreading this brightness chasing disease. 300 nits is really all a person needs for bright HDR content, which every one of these monitors can achieve on the highlights, because almost no scene is going to be mostly full white. Even if you had a scene where you had the bottom half of the image being black and the top half being pure white, virtually all OLEDs can display that at 300 nits or higher, which means a more realistic scene is going to be even brighter, closer to 400-600 nits at the very least.

It's because of the QD-OLED layering, it doesn't have a polarizer so the Quantum Dots get stimulated causing a purple-ish effect on what's supposed to be dark/black spots of the image, also happens when the display is off.

[@Shidera5721]

As he also says in the video and as confirmed by RTINGS, every bit of ambient light causes black to shift slightly to purple. According to RTINGS, this is no longer the case when there is little to no ambient light, and then black is truly black again. The conclusion is, therefore, if you want to use these QD-OLEDs during the day, you should make sure that the monitor does not get direct light and not too much indirect light either. So, if the desk is angled or very close to the window, you will probably need shutters or a different monitor.

[@Shidera5721]

I was using a Samsung Odyssey G7 for some time which had an extreme curve of 1000R (that is way more curved then this with 1700R) and I really liked it for games and even other media, the first 3-4 days I actually disliked it, but after I got used to it, I noticed that it really helped with immersion, you get the feeling of looking at the objects itself rather then the display for some degree atleast, which was very apparent when swapping back to a flat display. The biggest downside is that it defnitely slightly distorts objects, which is absolutely not a problem for entertainment media (you still perceive flat lines as flat etc. just not perfectly flat), but as soon as you need to do something on the monitor where you need forms to be actually precise, the monitor becomes instantly unusable. Sidenote: For people that think that curved displays are not suited for competitive FPS. At the time I was using the 1000R display, was the first time I've managed to get Rank 10 on FACEIT (CSGO) and am still since then. I did peak on my current 360Hz display tho, but that is not because of the display but I generally improved. I would say curve or not curved is negilible for competitive gaming, from a performance PoV, the other display metrics matter more (Motion Blur > Refresh Rate btw. there are monitors that outperform higher refresh ones just simply due to better pixel response times or backlight strobing techniques.

SRGB and DCI p3 are "color spaces". Think of it as the colors on a painters pallette. A wider color space means it can display a wider variety of colors. So a wider color space can produces more vibrant and bright colors. The window sizes refer to how much of the screen is lit up. So a 2% window size is a small highlight taking up about 1/50th of the screen. 50% takes up half Generally the bigger the window the lower the brightness. LCDs can usually push more full screen brightness than OLED or QD OLED WRGB has a white subpixel that also helps with full screen brightness since that's a weakness.

WOLED is the best. I saw side by side them in real life and QD0OLED is absolutly garbage.

[@linighttwo4068]

You don't seem to understand what luminance means. Just say brightness or luminous intensity.

[@Kapono5150]

That disgusting matte coating made the choice easy for me

Its a double edged sword. Matte isn't that bad imo..glossy is nice but you can't play with any ambient light without annoying reflections and as others have said the glossy screen scratches and the blacks raise with any light. That's annoying.

you have to call out hte elephant in the room. LG still has the balls to make their own panels and displays. Samsung electronics makes the worst monitors. You always have to wait for Asus to buy a samsung panel and make a good monitor. hence, the Asus PG32ucdm.

[@MrFaleh1129]

9:19 nah QDOLED is simply better even if it has raised blacks and even if you play in a bright room Matte coating makes colors smeared all over and that is a big deal more big deal than a slightly raised black

Oh, you think a 420 refresh rate makes a monitor good? That's cute. But let me tell you something, kid. Refresh rate isn't everything. It's just a fancy number that tech companies like to throw around to make their products seem better than they really are. And besides, what are you even going to do with that refresh rate anyway? Play video games every waking hour? Get a life, pal.

WOLED monitor 100% QD OLED have raised blacks in anything but a dark room. It doesn't even need to be a really bright room, average lit room will raise blacks. Defeating the purpose of OLED. That's before we even get the semi glossy cheap plastic coating they use on the QD OLED monitors. Absolute horrible coating which micro scratches after 1 cleaning w/ a brand new microfiber. Got a smudge on it or some spit splatters? Be prepared to be cleaning it for 30 minutes to get it off & by the time you're done, micro scratches. It's funny how a lot of this is finally coming to light & the echo chamber the once lamented QD OLED as better, is finally reversing course.

[@interceptor001]

The coating is that bad??? Did not expect that.

Does this apply to all glossy OLED TVs too?

[@Sawadaz]

Asus PG32UCDM is way better than both of them.

[@p4inmaker]

Brightness is marketing bullshit, modern oleds can become so uncomfortably bright I tone them all down anyway. Proper blacks are what truly matters, and WOLED wins there every time, you'll never fuly eliminate ambient light and QDOLED blacks get washed out by even the smallest amounts.
