[@rickystafford7433]

yeah it's hard to capture how much better it is. The weird thing is even side by side you don't notice that much but when switching between monitors they both just have such a unique feel and I prefer the punchyness of the QD. it feels like colorful soft and smooth plastic, hard to explain. Not just yellows either as the video suggests...Reds, oranges, yellows, greens, even blues.

[@normaldude5960]

It's so weird tbh... On the TV side, I would choose the LG G4 with its georgous WOLED-panel compared to Samsung's S95D QD-OLED panel, but on the monitor side, I would stick with the 3rd gen QD-OLED panels from Asus, Gigabyte and Dell/Alienware compared to LG's WOLED monitor panels... this is going to be a very interesting year

[@houssamalucad753]

I would do the opposite, for a TV I appreciate the improved color volume and I watch at night in a dark room so the brighter blacks are not a problem. For a monitor however I use it in a normally lit room all day so WOLED is better, oh and the 480hz mode would be fun

The 2880p mode for desktop use for increased screen space and sharper text and the 1440p mode for gaming because most gpus can't really render games at 2880p high/ultra and high fps.

[@patrikmedia]

@@flockelocke2297 what do you define as better image quality? It's clearly not as sharp due to lower PPI and it also has the old pixel layout, adding text fringing. so the only advantage really is the higher brightness and maybe the glossy, highly reflective coating, however that last point can be very subjective.

[@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.

[@theSato]

@@peoplez129 I'm sorry, if you're saying that beyond 200nits brightness is "useless" you really have no idea what makes good picture (and especially good HDR)

[@peoplez129]

@@theSato SDR doesn't need more than 200 nits. Most people turn up their IPS monitors because the brightness counteracts IPS glow by making their pupils shrink from the brightness, making everything look darker, so by proxy the darker areas look darker in comparison to the bright areas. All OLEDs do about 600-1000 nits peak brightness on HDR, which is bright, and brighter than even most IPS screens.

[@Der_Oesterreicher]

WAIT a sec. just for clarification, at 07:17 you said that the blacks on WOLED are better, but i notice that the Alienware has a glossy Display while the LG hasnt, could it be because the glossy panel is reflecting every little bit of light or are you sticking to your conclussion? I just wanna know that a 100%. thx

[@adrianofan92]

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]

Wie er auch im Video sagt und was auch von RTINGS bestätigt wird, jedes bisschen Umgebungslicht lässt Schwarz leicht in Lila übergehen, laut RTINGS ist dies nicht mehr der Fall wenn es kaum bis kein Umgebungslicht gibt und dann ist Schwarz auch wieder wirklich Schwarz. Das Fazit ist also wohl, wenn man diese QD-OLEDs tagsüber betreiben möchte, sollte man darauf achten das der Monitor keinesfalls direkt licht abbekommt und auch nicht zu viel indirektes Licht, also wenn der Schreibtisch schräg oder sehr nahe zum Fenster steht braucht man wohl Rolläden oder einen anderen Monitor :D

[@andrewmorris3479]

A glossy display enhances contrast. The reason you think it doesn’t is because it lacks a polarizer. Use the MSI in a light controlled room and you’ll have the best image quality on a gaming monitor in 2024.

[@DipamPatel_yt]

Hey can you make video all different specs of monitor I mean I don't what srg and dcip is and the 10 % window and 25% window can you explain all theses terms

[@paulcox2447]

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.

I bought an LG and returned it. The blacks were so crushed and the colors were over saturated. Not to mention how dim it would get. I thought games a regularly played looked worse on it. Sure, at first glance it’s very eye catching because of how saturated everything is but when I actually used it for gaming and watching KZbin/anime it just looked off. Oddly enough, the switch looked great on it

[@arondyte318]

I returned my MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED because while the picture quality was great, the glossy coating just captures too may reflections from ambient light sources and the raised purplish blacks were definitely a deal breaker as I also use my computer under natural lighting conditions. I currently have the LG 45GR95QE-B and it’s totally fine in natural, artificial and no lighting conditions. It was hard to justify keeping the MSI when it only works well in 1 of the 3 lighting conditions so I sent it back. Hopefully next year’s model will be a bit better as I really wanted to like it.

[@peoplez129]

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.

[@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.

[@cptcrogge]

Exactly the video I've been waiting for, seems the LG is the better choice for multimedia and gaming.

[@ExSkyCyclePilot]

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.

[@fionnmaccuill415]

Just turn off the light?

[@Lightking813]

Personally when it comes to curved i'll say 100% if gaming on an ultrawide but it gets more questionable at 16:9 and on the note with the 480hz mode I can see it being good in games where the res doesn't matter as much and u just need raw fps

[@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.

I play in a pitch dark room and my PG32UCDM looks absolutely insane.

Both are rubbish. Im going to make my own display in my day dream with unlimited monitor hz and -5000 input lag where the mouse points me itself to enemys head so it can be quicker than hackers itself.

samsung beter.

Not true, the high end is the AORUS FO32U2P. it's not alienware aw3225qf. Stop misinforming the people about monitors, and more specifically - stop misinforming them about the glossy and matte problem. Neek.

[@stephaneburne4155]

Both have the same panel.

[@Shibo4201]

@@stephaneburne4155 No, the AORUS FO32U2P is 31.5 inches and it has DP 2.1 UHBR20, it's not curved and has a better design. Now think again.

[@houssamalucad753]

what do you mean by high end? the one with the most features is the Asus, not the Aorus that isn't even on sale yet, on the budget end there's the MSI in the US and the Dell everywhere else.

[@Shibo4201]

@@houssamalucad753 you can buy the aorus fo32u2p and its the best on the market. All other models are trash. asus doesnt have the best quality and the best features, even tho it provides the most features. Aorus fo32u2p is the best.

sticking with VA

[@conyo985]

IPS for me. I can't stand the smearing and the vignetting of VA.

[@KlennR]

@@conyo985 Cheap VA's are so awful. Haven't seen personally how Samsungs high end VA panels look tho.

[@andrewmorris3479]

That’s a shame. ASUS PG32UCDM is insane.

[@sunnysideup559]

@@conyo985Samsung's 2nd gen VA Panels have no smearing and have double to triple the contrast ratio of IPS panels.

that's awful man

i just managed to get an msi mpg321urx. wich is the only one that i could get here in europe. i only had LG WOLEDs up until now and i must say that i am very suprised how much light the QD oled absrobs. in a somewhat lit room the display looks almost competely grey! that is more irritating then i had anticipated!

aw3423dwf is better than those... till they release ultrawide 4k+ at the end of year:)
