What about the Lenovo Pro 32UD-10? I really cannot find any videos on it.
I recently got the LG 27GX790B-B which is a 27” 540Hz dual mode to 720Hz, but returned it because I needed to get a more important purchase. But just from me using it for a few weeks, I absolutely loved it! It really opened my eyes to Tandem OLED displays. I had a QD-OLED panel which was fantastic, but I wanted to try it out and I returned that to try it out. I personally like Tandem panels better, so the Asus XG27AQWMG highly peaked my interest especially for the price. I will definitely consider getting that! Great recommendation and thank you!
Really appreciate uploading this a day after i buy an oled lmao
That Alienware is literally $100 cheaper then that ROG. It's definitely taking that W
what do you think about the Alienware AW2725D? is it worth getting over the AW2726DM if they are similar in price?
hey mate, coudl u do a breef video on ur thoughts on after the price hike, if the 5070ti is worth it still over the 5070 base. im struggling to justify 12-20 frames more for nearly 300 pounds exrtra????
The AGON PRO is now 566 pounds.
Why would the Asus ROG XG34WCDMS at 280Hz be your top ultrawide pick when the MSI 341CQR X36 at 360Hz is available at the same price?
Anyone who can get 60 FPS framerate (with or without DLSS upscaling) on RTX 5000 can take advantage of 360 FPS with 6X frame gen. The days of “most gamers can’t drive 360 FPS” are over.
@12:45 genuine question, aren't tandem oleds more prone to having bad grey banding. Is that something you will have to look out for on both of these monitors in the sweet spot segment?
Is the Alienware AW3225QF good, how would it rank among these monitors?
This video came out at a good time as I'm still trying to decide what OLED to buy, thank you!
I just got the samsung 500hz monitor at 600$ with extended 3 yr warranty
Surprised you didn’t know this. Just a bonus if you buy a higher hz monitor. Makes us non 5090 owners feel better about not hitting them frames 😂
gaming at 200 FPS on a 500Hz monitor will generally have lower input lag and feel better than gaming at 200 FPS on a 240Hz monitor. Why? the 500Hz Monitor WinsFaster Panel Scan-Out: A 500Hz panel refreshes its entire screen in just 2 milliseconds. A 240Hz panel takes 4.16 milliseconds. Quicker Top-to-Bottom Delivery: The 500Hz monitor draws the newly received 200 FPS frames onto the screen twice as fast
I bought the acer predator x27u w1 model. How does it compare to these? It’s 1440p 240hz
I have an OLED and I still watch these.
Samsung Odyssey 4K G8 monitor is the best monitor at this point.
i bought an msi 27 inch 4k oled 240 hertz obviously it does also have hdr 0.01 ms response time and even though i overpaid at the time i do not regret buying it :3
Were there any banding issues?
my main is ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDPG my other one is asus rog swift pg27aqdp big time overkill
what about the 5k2k lg 45 inch 21:9?
Bro I’ve been looking for a 1440p oled monitor for the last two days and I swear it’s impossible. Ive watched so many videos and read so many things online and it seems like no matter which one I choose it’s either gonna have grey banding, “dirty screen”, burn in, or panel dimming.
I'm waiting for the Alienware 39 inch unless the LG one has a big price drop before its released.
I got Alienware for £370 it's great.
Danke, endlich verständlich erklärt!
Great reviews thanks for the video. Tbh I'm looking for the best 4k OLED monitor to attach to my ps5 Pro in my office probably a 27inch. I was looking at the Samsung G8 or the non OLED Sony M9II. I don't want to spend money on stuff I don't need. I know I can utilise 4k at 120Hz. What would be the best monitor, any suggestions? as in my option the sony at £800 and not 4k was the one I originally thought of buying. Thanks
you like the 32 inch over 27? i like the ppi of the 27 but might just be me
First time getting an oled monitor. Can someone pls tell me is Alienware AW3225QF still worth it in 2026?
Lol I'm not starving and going homeless for burn in. I'd choose IPS over VA.
LG is not on my list.
Why wasn’t the LG 27gx790b-b included on the list it’s also a 540 tandem duel mode
I ve got the rog strix aq27acdms for about 600-630 dollars now using itvery good 280hz 1440p 10bit hdr true black 400
