I'm looking to buy a monitor for PC gaming. I'll only use this monitor for gaming (no competitive gaming like fps/shooters).
My big question is: Strictly for gaming, what are the pros and cons of a flat panel vs an ultrawide?
My resolution will be 1440p and the panel size will be 32" to 38", with a display ratio of 21:9 if going for the ultrawide.
I'm open to all advice and personal experiences.
Thanks.
I’m stuck picking between these two monitors. I have previously used 240hz and 185hz monitors but have no clue if they had BFI & MPRT but I wondering if it is worth spending the extra $100 on the MSI to have the BFI & MPRT features. For reference I play a massive variety of games but lean to more fps and fast paced.
Hey everyone,
I recently upgraded to the ASUS ROG Swift XG32UCWMG, but I’ve hit a total wall with its HDR performance. Coming from the PG27UQ—which was an absolute HDR monster—the HDR on this panel is honestly a massive disappointment.
It’s so dim that it completely kills the viewing experience. I’ve actually been forced to watch my 4K movies in SDR instead just to get a bright, usable image, which feels terrible for a monitor in this tier.
Note: I’ve already exhaustively tested and cycled through every single OSD setting on the monitor itself (HDR profiles, uniform brightness, local dimming modes, brightness locks, etc.), so the issue isn't a buried menu setting on the display.
Before I give up entirely and return it, I wanted to ask:
Any advice or external software tweaks would be greatly appreciated!
My only concern with the new model is the gray banding issue. Do you guys think I should get the PG27UCDM, or wait for the PG27UCWM to launch in my region?
I'm almost done with my RTX 5080 build, but I'm stuck on this decision. This will be my first OLED monitor, so I'm pretty torn.
Ive tried every setting imagineable on pc and monitor. I don’t know why its like that. The line goes exactly in the middle and ive tried all hdmi cables i have. Turned hdr off/on. Turned g syn off/on. I am out of ideas now.
I was thinking of buying this for my PS5 gaming setup. It’s worth mentioning I often play very cinematic and high graphical fidelity games so I was looking for an OLED monitor with VRR and HDR to give me the best experience. If this isn’t the best one, can someone give me a recommendation as to what monitor would be best for me? Thanks!
Hi, On the market looking for monitors I realize that there are a lot of qd-oled monitors with 280-360hz refresh rate, but none in woled.
With a Woled panel you find 240hz for ~400€ in Europe, but you'll have to spend +600€ to get higher refresh rate (480hz LG).
Is there a technical limitation for 300+ hz woled panels that it is impossible to do? Or no one is looking for this except me?
Thanks.
I’m thinking about getting the asus XG27AQDMES. I don’t know much about oleds so I wanna know if it’s a good monitor
I currently have a 32-inch Samsung G8 OLED ultrawide monitor (QD-OLED Gen 1), but I’d like to switch back to 16:9—mainly for better game compatibility—and I’m looking at current 2560x1440p options.
Should I go for a Tandem OLED or a QD-OLED? My main issue with current 2560x1440p QD-OLEDs (like the AW2725DF) is that using DSC makes Alt-Tabbing really annoying. From what I can see, Tandem OLEDs are excellent (aside from gray uniformity). I owned an LG WOLED a while back and was only disappointed by the brightness; Tandem OLEDs seem to perform better in that regard.
How does the ASUS PG27AQWP-W compare to my current monitor in terms of image quality? I want to go back to 16:9, but I don't want to sacrifice image quality.
Thanks.
