I’ve been wanting to get an OLED for my gaming setup recently but just haven’t bitten on any deals. This pops up on my marketplace for $150 though and I figure if it’s easily fixable it’s a great deal. I like to work on electronics but have never worked on an OLED tv as I haven’t had one. So is this worth it and possibly an easy fix?
the The Display Guy just released this video, such a let down when it comes to the abl of this monitor as it has the same old abrupt abl from the last model XG32UCWMG which made playing at 100% brightness annoying :/
Hey everyone,
I’m interested in upgrading my gaming setup a bit; I play on Xbox Series X and for the past several years I’ve used a 32 inch 1080p TV and want to upgrade to a monitor since I play at a desk, probably 27 or 32 inches, and I want to get an OLED monitor but am wondering about how big of a difference there is between 1440p and 4K. My friend who plays on PC says that 4K is rarely worth it over 1440p, but I thought I’d ask around here to get some advice.
Hello,
I’m upgrading my old rig (RTX 3060, IPS display) to a RTX 5080+9800x3D and I’d like the screen to go with it. However, I see a lot of extremes on Reddit and it seriously is irritating for someone trying to get a clean idea. I live in a city where there is no way to check the displays in real life.
I’m tired of seeing « this is dogshit, absolute garbage » comments. I doubt either option is as bad as I read, and I’d like an educated comment, preferably from people who have both.
The hesitation stems from two very opiniated comments I keep seeing:
Honestly I use Reddit for more « human » opinions, but Reddit is also the only place where I see this extreme bias for glossy. I want to know if it’s a circlejerk or real.
If you have any questions so I can clarify please don’t hesitate.
Thank you
Tried the Asus PG32UCDP to replace my long time ips monitors and dunno if the oled has a stronger matte surface but the "film" felt more pronounced when viewing whites. So I tried the XG32UCWMG and am soooo glad I did.
Now I get what they mean by having images "pop." Even regular ass menus with black backgrounds and dark mode on Twitch feel better. Having almost no motion blur I think reduced eye strain.
The reflections I was so nervous about are a non-issue. They are dimmed, similar to the Galaxy 26 ultra phone's anti reflective glass if anyone has one. Just took a quick Pic of both oled monitors in a medium lit room to compare some reflections on the table. So, don't think I'll ever go back to matte.
I’m finally getting my first oled but I don’t know which one to pick the ASUs one is not on sale anymore and now $550 so I don’t think it’s the right option .
Got my oled 2 weeks ago (love it!) and my cat loves to boop his nose on the screen 😆. It is not noticeable when the screen is on and i will be soon buying a microfiber cloth to clean it.
Managed to preorder and order seems to have went through. Price was $1700 CAD and it should ship August 7th.
Hello, which is more reflective? Anyone who tried both and can share their experience?
Hey everyone, I’d like to hear some opinions.
I know this question gets asked a lot, but hey, what’s the harm in asking it one more time?
I currently have the ASUS XG27ACDNG, a 1440p 360Hz QD-OLED monitor. I’m running an RTX 5080 and a Ryzen 9 9850X3D. When I bought the monitor about a year ago, I was playing a lot of Valorant, so the XG27ACDNG made perfect sense because of the high refresh rate and because it was all I needed for competitive gaming.
Since then, my gaming habits have changed quite a bit. I barely play Valorant anymore, and I’ve mostly shifted toward story-driven single-player games. For a while now, I’ve been thinking about selling my current monitor and moving to a 4K display. It feels like my RTX 5080 is somewhat wasted on a 1440p monitor, and I certainly don’t need 360Hz to play games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077.
My question is: should I buy a 4K monitor now, or wait for the upcoming tandem OLED panels?
My concern is that when the tandem OLED monitors launch, they’ll likely cost €1,200+ before shipping, assuming they’re even available during the first few months after release.
What would you do in my situation?
Where i live ( hungary ) the LG b5 is cheaper than the C5. Is it worth the B5 for gaming and watching movies? ( my room is not too bright )
I would use xbox series X and medium pc ( rtx 3070+ r5 3600 + 16gb ddr4 )
Thanks guys 🙂
dead pixels all around. it's been a brilliant set and will continue to do so.
I've used it at 1080p, 2k and uw, 3k, 4k, 5k and 4k uw. no scaling...
that last configuration is its current and has been for a while now, 3840x1620x120
ain't she a beautiful thing?
I currently have the Asus XG27ACG and AOC 24G2E. I can see the difference in contrast between the two because I have the Panda panel on the AOC so the contrast ratio is higher than on the Asus so I guess I already understand that the OLED will be an improvement for contrast and blacks.
My only point of comparison for an OLED is an iPad Pro M4 and S25 but I believe there's a difference in motion smoothness because of the size difference and something with our eyes. Planning to get a 27 inch 1440p OLED.
I have also noticed that when I play 60fps gameplay videos on my Asus monitor in a smaller window, it looks smoother. I wonder if I will get that same motion smoothness but in full screen if I switch to an OLED monitor? If not the same level of smoothness because of the size difference, will it still be an improvement?
I have a pretty okay PC. I can hit around 80 to 90 FPS on Expedition 33 at the highest settings but with DLSS on Quality. At that point will it be worth switching in terms of motion smoothness?
For the colors I think most of what I see here are oversaturated stuff. I kinda prefer the more natural looking image which is usually on the IPS monitor. I feel like really big improvement in image quality is only in the contrast, blacks, shadows, and stuff like that. Otherwise the colors is the same if you have a good IPS panel? Please correct me on this.
Red Dot in the Upper Corner of QD-OLED Screens – Is This Normal?
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a second QD-OLED monitor and noticed a small red dot in the upper-left corner of the screen. I checked my other QD-OLED monitor, and it has the exact same red dot in the same location.
Is this normal? Do your QD-OLED monitors have it as well?
I'm currently having a hard time on deciding which I should get between these two. After whole day of researching on which is better, I have seen that the UltraGear is superior in terms of displaying colors and black outputs. As for the ROG, it has a lower peak brightness of 400 nits. The UltraGear uses a 3rd Gen W-OLED with a glossy surface, while the ROG uses a 3rd Gen QD-OLED with an anti-glare surface.
I always play in a dark room with a low chance of having a light open from the background. I will be using it for playing racing games and competitive FPS shooter games from time to time on PC. I will also use the monitor with PS5 since the GTA VI is nearby.
The pros I see for my usage with the ROG is its proximity sensor to help lessen the burn-in, while the pros I see with the UltraGear is with its picture quality.
These two monitors are my only options since their prices are almost the same (from where I live), so I'm really having a difficult time on whether to pick between the two.
I'm looking to buy a new gaming monitor and would appreciate some recommendations.
My requirements are:
1440p (QHD)
240Hz or higher
OLED panel
Great HDR performance
Low input lag and fast response times
I'll mainly be using it for PC gaming (competitive FPS games like Overwatch, CoD, etc.) but also for single-player games and general desktop use.
What do you think is currently the best 1440p 240Hz+ OLED monitor on the market? Are there any models I should avoid? I'd also love to hear your personal experiences if you've owned one.
Thanks!
I have a gaming laptop with an Intel Ultra 9 275HX and the 5080 LAPTOP GPU. My budget is quite tight as a student, so I don't wanna spend extra money if I don't have to.
I connected it to pc via hdmi 2.1 super high speed cable.
When I played Claire obscure it was perfectly fine, now for rdr2 and kcd2 it does this.
It's the cables fault, right?
