Hello guys,
Recently i have a bad itch to upgrade my monitor, not sure if it actually worth but i am looking into it.
Right now i use an LG 27GP850-b, Nano IPS, 1440p, 180hz monitor which is, for my own eyes, incredible for what it offers coming from an old slow Samsung VA. Its Fast, responsive, vibrant colors and high refresh rate.

So the next step is a new technology panel. I have a Ryzen 5 5600x and a RX 7800XT and i play some competitive shooter (like PUBG) and AAA titles (i got a huge steam backlog) and i am debating with these monitors.

As a new guy into OLEDs i am overrun with all the OLED terminology (panel technology, coating etc). I found these in my region around my budget (max 400 euro)

1. AOC Q27G4ZDR (342 euro)
2. Dell Alienware AW2726DM (409 euro)
3. Samsung LS27HG612SUXEN (399 euro)
4. LG UltraGear 27GX704A-B (399 euro)
5. Samsung Odyssey G5 G50SF (349 euro)

And i am between the AOC (QD-OLED) and the LG (WOLD with MLA).
Whats your opinion ? Which one would you recommend ? Is any other monitors to have in mind ?

Hello guys,
Recently i have a bad itch to upgrade my monitor, not sure if it actually worth but i am looking into it.
Right now i use an LG 27GP850-b, Nano IPS, 1440p, 180hz monitor which is, for my own eyes, incredible for what it offers coming from an old slow Samsung VA. Its Fast, responsive, vibrant colors and high refresh rate.

So the next step is a different aspect ratio or a new technology panel. I have a Ryzen 5 5600x and a RX 7800XT and i play some competitive shooter (like PUBG) and AAA titles (i got a huge steam backlog) and i am debating of immersion and contrast/colors

The budget i can use right now is around 300-400 and after a lot of research i narrow down my options to these Monitors

Ultrawide

1. AOC CU34G4Z(326 euro)

2. Dell ALIENWARE AW3426DWM (361 euro)

OLED

1. AOC Q27G4ZDR (342 euro)

2. Dell Alienware AW2726DM (409 euro)

3. Samsung LS27HG612SUXEN (399 euro)

4. LG UltraGear 27GX704A-B (399 euro)

5. Samsung Odyssey G5 G50SF (349 euro)

I am leaning toward the AOC's in both categories beacuse of the USB hub, hdmi 2.1 and heaphone out (i plug in my speakers). But if the difference in perfomance and picture quality worth it i will have to make it work with another way

Note: i like the ultrawide cause i work as a junior CPA (we use excel a lot and read documents/invoices) and in the future i might do some work from home so the productivity is there but i cant really skip the wow factor of an OLED as the number one reason of my desktop is entertainment.

So whats you opion, what do you recommend or even your personal experience with these type of monitors ? Also the Ultrawides uses fast VA panels will i notice smearing coming from my LG 27GP850-b ?
Thanks a lot!

Hello guys

I am gonna move to my girlfriend in the summer and i cant take my PC with me right now cause the space is a bit limited and we want something to play with a portable 1080p monitor or the tv we already have as long as i am there .

I was looking for a console but all my friends play on pc and i already have a big steam library, so its not an option right now

I found a used Minisforum HX99G (6900HX, 6600M 8GB, 16GB, 1TB) for 590€ but i think i can push it down to 500€. I have to mention that i already own a LCD Steamdeck that i can use but i was looking to upgrade if i want to play and enjoy some AAA or some pubg with friends.

Is this a good deal ? or do you recommend something else ?
