Stumbled upon your channel, because I watched every review of the LG that exists currently. I have to say: Exceptional review. You've been talking about stuff nobody else mentioned (for example the HDMI 2.1 stuff and the metallic bar under the screen) Such reviews combined with your brilliant, but subtle humor will definitely be successful on youtube. You got a zorz future in front of you!
Max... All jokes aside - This is maybe the best response I've ever read. I am deeply grateful you appreciated that I do my best to find all the things that shockingly everyone else seems to miss. It's what made me want to make the channel. Well that and also getting to do stand up but with multiple takes :). Your compliments are so deeply appreciated. You are clearly born Zorz and must be part of the Zorz Nation. Thank you so much. Every Review?? I'm guessing you're either writing a thesis on this fucking monitor or you're really considering it?? Also - HDMI 2.1 is life changing and that metallic bar can totally kiss my ass - like seriously who allowed this to happen. The fashion police gonna move into the tech space to take this thing away....
I just bought two backup remotes for it from Walmart you can use regular TV remotes for this thing. The cleaning buttons are missing but that is it any other setting can be controlled with a LG universal remote it's actually better than buttons can you don't have to reach over to the monitor.
Your reviews are fantastic Zorz! You are funny without really trying and that shows up, and plus, you actually know what you’re talking about! Keep up the great work!
I completely agree. I wish there would be a 240-360hz OLED monitor WITH good BFI feature and a glossy finish, 1440p 27 inch. That would be the perfect monitor, at least for me.
@@Slader774k 240-360hz would be nice if we could get stable 240-360fps in every single game at 4k max settings, but the thing is that we can't. We can get 120fps for sure, but for some people such as myself that isn't enough. In my opinion for gaming 4k isn't worth it at all, *yet*. I would rather have 1440p 240-360hz oled to get that stable 240-360 fps ingame ( with newest gpu/cpus ) than 4k 120hz, or even 4k 240hz since we can't really get *stable* 240fps at 4k yet ( except in some games, especially older games ) So as for now the perfect monitor would be a 240hz-360hz Glossy 27 inch 1440p OLED or QD-Oled, with good BFI feature, for example the dough spectrum black OLED monitor looks like the perfect OLED monitor you can buy, if it really is what they claim it to be. Maybe in 5 years I can finally say that 4k will be the " new normal " but right now I can't. Also I do understand that some people prefer 4k 120hz instead of 1440p 240-360hz. It's just that as a " competitive " player such as myself, I can easily see a huge difference between 120hz and 240hz, and the difference between 27 inch 1440p compared to 4k 27-32 inch isn't that big. In terms of ppi yes it is insanely big, but for your eyes it isn't as big of a jump than going from 1080p to 1440p for example, and on top of that you will get way less fps on 4k so it's just not worth it yet. Maybe next gen of gpus can do it, maybe not. I feel like in 5-6 years 4k will be the new normal and that's when I'm also gonna switch from 1440p 240-360hz to 4k 240-360hz.
I reckon if you're getting into OLED this is the one. It's cheaper than its competitors at least for me (it's on sale on Amazon right now) and it is much less likely to suffer from burn-in than QD-OLED. Plus, not every game supports ultrawide still. The anti-glare matte coating on the panel isn't really that big of a deal breaker if you game in the day (small amounts of ambient light will reflect off of a glossy screen, unless your room is dark enough). 240hz is a bit overkill but obviously is a bonus as it gives you pretty decent overhead if you're planning on a component upgrade in the future. That being said, this is the beginning for OLED gaming displays. There is likely going to be more coming next year so waiting might not be that big of an issue for you. I ultimately decided to buy this monitor and I can't wait. Been waiting for something like this for a long time.
I hope you adore it and love it. It is probably the overall best monitor for every scenario there is... Remember to use HDMI 2.1 if you have a 40 series card. Stay Zorz :)!
Oh Really? Damn - Very cool. Ya know what though? My gut feeling is that it's actually not gonna burn in. I constantly am seeing the pixels move and it makes me feel frustrated but also safe at the same time :).
@@ZorzGaming I’m going to try this monitor myself when it comes back instock at my local Best Buy. You warned it’s kinda dim but how you kept mentioning how good the clarity was it convinced me.
@@Kapono5150 must be nice to have a Best Buy that gets stock :( the one near me hasn’t even gotten cpu coolers or mobos in for the last month. Making me about to shop online
you are a very good reviewer, good sense of humor and presentation. and very deep analysis. continue the world you are doing and soon you will be a global channel in the monitor reviewing department. I enjoyed, 👍 will come to visit again.
I took your advice and hooked it up via HDMI 2.1. Definitely a little more pop in the colors. Interestingly it says it isn’t validated as a Gsync Compatible display when hooked up via HDMI but it seems to be working
RBK THANK YOU! I'm hearing a lot of mixed results from people but I know damn well for sure its more pop, cleaner textures, and just feels better. 2 questions if you're so inclined 1. What video card do you have? 2. Did you try turning on the two things I recommended in the CRU utility to see if it reduces input lag?
yooooo. I'm just stunned man. In awe. Dude seriously, I literally went through 10+ different reviews, including some from big 500Ks or even millions subscribers youtubers... and I gotta say, you were by far the top one. I'm just so amazed that I haven't seen you around before, you're really good. Almost wanna create an account so I can sub+like twice lmao. Look, I talk a lot but I feel like I just need to give you feedback and give you the props that you deserve, so my b if I go on for 5 minutes haha. You don't come off as if this is just another day of work for you, and it feels much more pleasant to listen to when compared with other reviews. It feels more like a fun conversation about your experience and discoveries than like a pre-written scripted monologue from so-called big tubers. Your jokes are not forced either so it feels natural, it's just easy to listen to and is still informative and entertaining. You also managed to go through more details than other big channels AND deeper in each of them. I can finally say that I feel like I don't need to go through more reviews, as opposed to everyone else's videos. If you can eventually do tests for color accuracy, input lag, clarity, and research optimal gaming performance settings for your viewers, I feel like I'm just gonna ditch other channels completely and yours will be my one-stop shop. This stuff can be expensive (hello top tier cameras, good mics, other testing/measuring devices) but if you're serious about it and want to grow, I'm sure everyone will appreciate having a channel that covers it all this well. Still crazy to me that I have to go through over 10 other big/giant channels and yet I still had to get here to finally be satisfied. The "negative" (I have to, lol right?): -Would have been nice to have sound tests opinions, through the jack/optical ports, especially since the monitor doesn't have speakers so some will use those. How's the sound quality? How's DTS? etc.. It's not just a passthrough, it has to have a DAC, correct? How good is it, compared to say, the motherboard chip, or a 100$ popular usb DAC or something. Feels important imo. -Editing could improve a bit I guess, but yeah not at the detriment of your quality of content and vibe. If it's always this fun this I could totally ignore that forever. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you can catch up to bigger youtubers. Hope to see more! Either way, glad I stumbled here, this is an instant sub for me! I guess I'm a zorzie now if that's a thing. Wish you everything. Stupid question lol... do you have a mouse pad? just wondering because of the scratching mouse sounds in the mic when you were testing DP1.4vsHDMI2.1, sounded like nails on a board lol.
A Zorzie!?? Omg - My heart is aflutter with your comments. Truly - I deeply deeply appreciate it. As someone who doesn't have the budget and has to buy this stuff on credit these kinds of comments mean the world. I would love to have the technical gear ( eventually) and the technical background of making better videos (eventually). I thought about doing sound tests but Sound isn't my forte but I could attempt in the future. Also I have literally every mouse pad that exists practically :) haha. What you're hearing is a cerapad kin hard pad ceramic pad that makes that noise and I can see how its annoying ! hahaha. Thank you again and I really appreciate it!
@@ZorzGaming Ohhh, never heard of such a mouse pad lol. I was mostly curious and intrigued, but it's not like it hurt or anything. Just picked up too well by the mic maybe. It's great that you specify "eventually", means you don't lack the will, some people like to make a few videos but have no intention of growing and improving. I'm really glad that you're one of those who actually wants to! And yeah, I'm well aware of the price of all the equipment you could need. It's not cheap. And the audio is kind of a world of it's own lol, so not the smallest task to accomplish. Those things do take time, unfortunately. But hey! I like good content, and not everyone has the natural talent AND has it in them to put the time and effort required to make it. So while I'm very selective about content creators, I want to fully support the ones that do. And they're quite scarce these days lol, not gonna lie. So Ima be watching your journey and letting ads play for you man. It's not much, but it's honest work ahaha. Least I can do to contribute to your growth! I went for the monitor, after your video btw! If LG ever asks for feedback, I'll drop them your channel ehehe 😏. Who knows, might make them look into you!! *laughs diabolically*
@@theREALfuriousbananaI LOVE YOU ALREADY MY FRIEND. Yes my intent is to grow the channel to huge status and even have others and guests on it. I want to talk about all of gaming from history of gaming to console to pc to development. Thank you very much and I appreciate it! I have to get to 1000 subs before I even make a cent though :) SOON!
Oh dang! SUB SUB SUB SUB SUB….. oh wait… that’s not how it works… rip. Guests is a brilliant idea! I’ll recommend you to my friends then! May the Zorzies rain aplenty!

Nice review man and I am lg fan I have 65in g3 oled and 65in b6. I recently purchased the msi 321urx but returned it because of annoying oled care and freesync doesn’t work. I know matte coating takes away from clarity but I trust lg the most I am ordering the 27gs
@@ZorzGaming yea the new one I had the gs for a week but returned it and waiting for lg to release a mla with gloss screen and ah nice man I waiting to see it
Actually its 10-bit with hdmi 2.1 and 12-bit with dp 1.4. Also at least on the PC I am dp 1.4 with 240hz natively support at 1440p. One thing I am noticing though is that on hdmi 2.1 the colors seems to be much more accurate out of the box compare to dp 1.4. EDIT: OMG bro! for some reason hdmi is so much smoother lol I just tried csgo and it is buttery smooth.
Have to agree with Max Beien's comment above. I didn't know about the HDMI2.1 technology either. Also I loved the Signs comment at the beginning. Nice review!
Unfortuantely it isn't. This monitor caps it and doesn't give full bandwidth. Its hard to quantify the benefit with science but the color is way better. @@corpingtons
I have a 1080 Eizo for work and reading, so I'm gonna risk it for gaming. Even though I'm cursing myself with forever buying more expensive GPUs due to the resolution and refresh rate. Like you said, let's enjoy life while it lasts.
Eehy Zorz, I'm writing to you from Italy and I wanted to tell you that your video is still very useful today! I ordered this monitor and after seeing your content I am calmer because it gave me the certainties I was looking for, apart from the size which I hope with getting used to it won't be a problem... (I come from a 32 inch). In this video you have a lot of style, you look like John Travolta in his golden age xD
HDR definitely adds more colors. Example: When a in SDR the wall appears solid red. In HDR that same wall would look more orange, because more true colors are now displaying on screen. HDR is so hard to get right in gaming.
We making M. Night Proud! Hey I saw After Earth first day at the 1030 am show with my Dad and Old was the last movie we saw together. I'm a huge fan! Also Thank you!!
@@ZorzGaming Awesome! Can I ask one quick thing?: I know the matte coating makes whites/brights not look great when browsing etc but what about blacks during content consumption/gaming? Are blacks on this monitor AS good as on your glossy Alienware oled or does the matte let it down? I'd ONLY be using it in either low or NO lighting conditions and for me the big sell with oleds are the blacks, not the colours and/or response times. Thank you!
@@thepadster123 I haven't opened the Alienware yet! I plan to do that Saturday. I will say with blacks it's not as big of a deal. But here's something else to note... With a little outside light source the screen actually brightens up. I know I've heard EVERYONE say it requires pitch black room but that makes it even darker...
Great review! Really want to see a side by side comparison to the Alienware. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on that. Loving the witty comments. I’m always expecting a laugh when watching your reviews 😊 keep up the great work!
I tried this monitor with hdmi and dp and it was beautiful. The clarity is unreal, but, then i tried the aw3423dwf and even though the clarity and picture were slightly less impressive i loved the hdr and ultrawide. After heavily deliberation I stuck with the AW.
Zorz review, als always. And if the other potential problems with this monitor didn't convince me to skip it and wait for better OLED, 17:44 and 26:16 certainly did.
Thank you so much dude! Yah I could live with the coating if it had that elite blur... but it doesn't. But then, every time I turn it on I'm like oh shit that's gorgeous...
As i got 38"ips gaming screen recently, will wait to microLED screens to come into market in future. Doesnt want to sacrifice to use any anti burn measures for pc screen by changing icons, wallpaper, etc. For TV no queations asked, OLED is only best choise.
the LG has NO motion blur due to instant pixel. However it still has persistence blur like every other LCD/oled without BFI. only if we reach a 1000hz we can call it persistence blur free
Right that's why I tried to clarify it because people often don't know the difference. YES 1000 hz 1000 frame ZORZ POWER! That would be elite! However I don't think that will ever happen because they will keep upping graphics so we wont be able to get 1000 frames... maybe an elite BFI at 360 on a serious ass Oled would be the shit? Thank you for watching!!
@@ZorzGaming VR microleds are already at 1KHz. The transport link is the weak spot now. ANd you can play most older titles over 500fps now so I don't see the issue aside from getting the data out at high enough resolution..
Hi againe , recieved this monitor , after testing a lot too :) i figure out that it works much better without Vrr or freesynk or gsynk compatible , try to turn it off ,and i think TPC not bother me when it off , no auto dimming or adjusting brightness and less imput lag and clear picture too
I love the review, keep this up and you will blow up. Best monitor review I've ever watched. I'm buying this as an upgrade from AW2518HF, excited for when it arrives, thank you!
@@ZorzGaming I got a question for you, have you tried the ASUS PG27AQDM version of this panel? Supposedly it is a lot brighter than the LG, I've seen the LG next to the samsung g8 and it is significantly dimmer. The upped brightness would be a huge plus for me. However, I've heard that it also has completely washed out HDR colours. I'm now on the fence between the two. It would suck spending 1k on a dim monitor.
@@jameskim4096 It doesn't have HDMI 2.1 which was the absolute best feature for me. But everyone's eyes are different - I don't have a brightness issue like a lot of other people do although the LG even looked a tiny bit dim to me.... I might wait for the next thing and not jump on either...
@@jameskim4096 If you have to have a 1440 Oled right now and thats what you want then I approve - HDMI 2.1 12 bit (I hope you have a 40 series) And Welcome to the Zorz Nation!
Regarding HDR it was the most impressive feature for me. It might be not that dramatic change in games but in movies like dark knight rises it is astonishing. And it's not about color saturation only, it's about sharpness and brightness (yes it sounds weird regarding it's sdr dimness)
HDR is far more impressive when it comes to allowing detail in dark areas all while having super bright high lights. Look at any starry scene with good HDR and the stars look like actual stars on your screen. Colour is almost never really changed tbh in most HDR things I have watched and tested or its very very little difference.
Thank you! I been bogged down by money rent and jobs but soon to be bursting out with more content. I hope to but not sure about that specific monitor due to financial constraints. We need to petition the companies to send me the products :)
From the research I just did it can still support it even if it isn't native to the panel. Also the difference that my eyes can clearly see makes it pretty elite either way :).
I WOULD LOVE TO! Don't think I can afford all of these things as I'm still not getting them sent to me quite yet :). I do know that panel will be the same one but ASUS has its chance to do its own thing on it and maybe make it even better!

thx 4 review, unique one! i like the Cube Poster on the wall, i am fan of cube 1 2 & 3 movies. dell p1130 is a beast, i played 6months apex legends on it but is so hard to play modern br games because of the lack of far distance visibility so i had to swap to a 27" untill this oled becomes available in my country. i hate m blurr, i hate slow monitors, i hate ips but i have to wait for the oled to arrive to europe. nothing compares to a crt, if i had the monney i would buy a fw900 right now but is overpriced as fk.
YES!!! First person to mention CUBE! Saw that movie in the theater alone as a kid. First scene blew me away! Yah crts still so amazing. I'm going to get mine repaired hopefully. I haven't tried Apex on a crt but I don't really play Apex. Thanks for watching!
@@ZorzGaming Cube is amazing how it fucks with your brain as a teenager, you made me download and rewatch it again i wonder how i will understand it as an adult. I think dell p1130 is amazing for games like Overwatch, cs, val, games that are not battle royale and have small maps with close pvp encounters. in Br games lacks far away visibility no mather what rez or refesh rate you use and i tested 30+ resolution combos from 4:3 5:4 16:9 16:10 21:9 you are an AMAZING content creator, so natural, so fluid and super mega funny. please keep up the work, never give up and keep on making epic videos. soon, you will explode and i can't wait to see you get 10k 20k 50k 100k +++ subs because you are worth it and talented in what you do!

@@delightedbylight9893 Your words mean so much to me. Literally Tearing up. Thank you so so much! You are for sure in the Zorz Nation! and yes I cant wait to get my Trinitron back up and running.
Agreed about almost everything. I think there is one more thing worth mentioning is how this oled panel displays white-yellow color junction. It's followed with nasty red-cyan fringing. Just try to google "yellow" and go to the pics. Also colored text sometimes looks blurry, but it is actually the windows problem. Didn't notice it on macOs
I got the same 4k bug when trying to play valorant using HDMI 2.1 but oddly enough not when using Display Port 1.4, from a unit I bought in December even with the latest firmware - getting a new unit tomorrow, definitely will try deleting those stupid custom resolutions :)
Hey Zorz, I just got this monitor 2 days ago and im loving it so far. The clarity and colors are extraordinary and the brightness is not an issue for me. Im running mine at 80 brightness, 100 hurts my eyes. I have a question for you; do you know how to adjust the RGB in the back? I want to turn it off or change the color. Thanks Z!
Thank you Thank you!! Welcome to The Zorz Nation :). Well I am going to be testing and reviewing 5 new ones in total so in about 6 weeks I will tell you.... However... I'm leaning towards having one for serious gaming and one for immersion. Stay Tuned!
upgrading to the 45'' model will be first ultrawide I ever used it was a mistake buying the 27'' direct from lg since they charge a 9% restocking fee I ended up just selling it and will buy the 45 oled model from best buy and put a 4 year geek squad warranty on it that way when I have burn in or pixel issues I am covered
Before i watched this video i ordered this monitor and pay Extra guarantii for 100 :D so it will not work for panel LOL , btw that is the best review - about this monitor - thanks a lot mate , for info about hdmi and other stuff !
Yo, THIS REVIEW. WHAT? You cover shit that even the most in depth review channels didn't even bother to gloss over. I've also been chasing high refresh low motion blur gaming ever since the days my Sony CRT shit the bed. I thought this might be the one. Definitely dropping you a sub to see what's coming. Get your hands on some calibration/latency checking gear!
I found that CPC enable set off and LEA refreash enable set to OFF in service menu is crucial settins for this monitor. Can you make another video about these settings and hopefully LG will include these settings in menu for next firmware. Thanks!
@@ZorzGaming Thanks for the reply. I ran into a few of the discussions you were in on the reddit subs and kinda ended up with even more questions. I have this monitor and will try out the Display port eventually, but I have a 3080 and wonder if I'll get a different result since it's not a 40 series. Never have tried display port on this monitor because of this video, but I been getting flickering during regular windows usage and wonder if anything would change. None the less, I'm excited for the update!
@@Un1oad flickering during windows usage with HDMI? Could be the cord... So far I don't think the 30 series benefit from the color enhancement like the 40s do...
@@amberhamzic6289 I think it would be pretty Zorz if you like ultrawide! But I wouldn't sit too close to it :). Remember Mama said don't sit too close to the TV!
I tried HDMI 2.1 and with HDR it looks worse than DP, but with no HDR and vivid mode on HDMI it looks slightly better than DP w/HDR. Any idea why this is?
Does that Toasty app have that lower input lag option for Display port 1.4?. Another thing that helps with input lag is to go to task manager / details and set cpu priority for the Overwatch exe to real time.
U2711 we used to remove the matte finish by soaking paper towels (lightly sprayed with misted water) over a day or two. Most AG coatings are stuck on via water based glue so it could be an option ;)
Great content, bro! Do you live in Cali? I was at micro center in Tustin a while ago at the checkout behind someone that looked like you, who was in line with his gf. They had a motherboard and a lian li 216 case in their shopping cart, lol.
Thanks dude! I do! I'm in LA as I relegated to this nightmare as an actor. (Kidding, I love it). I have been there but not recently, must have just been another devastatingly handsome guy... Thanks for being Zorz!
Welp guess oled ain't ready yet cause of burn in, at least i can get a cheaper monitor now and not another thing that cost 1000$ like a valve index, a 4080/7900xtx, oled 1440 monitor, everything is 1000$ its very annoying, thank for this very helpful review.
i was seriously thinking about getting this monitor, basically because i want something with a great picture, colour, blacks and detail. but the burn in thing... really has me worried tbh. and if they are saying youre not covered at all for burn in, then thats not good. now im also debating an ultra wide. not a fan of curved. my favourite game to play is minecraft. Got any advice or suggestions on a decent ultra wide monitor?? great vid btw.
I guess all this time 3+ minutes I was trying to figure out what the hell monitor you're talking about from LG. I thought you were talking about their 45-in OLED; LG’s UltraGear 45GR95QE. That 240Hz 45-in LG OLED monitor is pretty damn good. I have its more expensive cousin the Corsair Flex. I also have the more expensive 175Hz Alienware AW3423DW; CPU-Z HSGHTK and 9MM3CZ I play Call of Duty and I've been playing it since the beginning, 32-in 16x9 was my preference and this 45 in is the equivalent but in 21x9 form. The 34-in Alienware is equivalent to a 27-in 16x9. Keep in mind people conflate OLED panel performance with their control board which is actually the limitations currently of OLED. OLEDs are capable of 1kHz refresh with real
.. My pet peeve with my RTX 4090 is for some dumbass reason Nvidia decided that DisplayPort 2.1 wasn't a necessary thing today. I wouldn't mind but my RTX 3090 already fully saturates my 175 Hertz alienware 3440x1440 and worse I have to limit it to 8-bit instead of 10-bit color. Onscreen crosshairs are not cheating. Again, I play Call of Duty where people are Wall Hacking .. that's cheating!
Incredible informative comment! Thank you! I want the flex bad is it Zorz? Also is it the control board controlling motion blur reduction stuff like black frame insertion?
@@ZorzGaming .. The only reason that I can think that Nvidia didn't include DisplayPort 2.1 is because their G-Sync technology isn't capable of supporting it. So I don't know if it's a chip availability issue or a technology block that they can't overcome or the fact that their technology no longer is necessary and has been replaced. In either case, the omission of a DisplayPort 2.1 was a real gut punch especially to people looking at the RTX 4090. HDMI 2.1 appears to be working fine but it's not my preference. However, maybe the days of DisplayPort are coming to an end. It does seem rather odd to have two competing standards, and other than monitors DisplayPort has very limited acceptance; meaning very few TVs include a DP. And mentioning that it's also coming to the point where there's a blur between monitors and TVs, some of the best and most interesting setups that I've seen are where people are using exceedingly large 4K televisions with 120 Hz VRR + ALLM as their primary monitors with the screen split into multiple work areas for productivity. Also it works well in someone's bedroom where the monitor can double as a TV.
@@ZorzGaming .. I forgot to mention because I wasn't thinking about it. The problem with a large television set under 30 in from your nose becomes a real eye strain issue. So I wonder if something like the Corsair Flex or LG's 4K OLED Flex is just the beginning. I can tell you this, I literally would hate my monitor if it didn't have curvature to it. 800R is the closest curvature representation to have an equidistant from your eyes. Flat screen or a less curvy screen .. You're constantly refocusing and doing that for hours at a time is extremely difficult no matter your age.
Great review, this monitor is just overpriced for me. My current setup is a 240hz 1080p ips lg for gaming, and a 1440p va for desktop usage, and they cost only $600 total 😀
You know I totally agree. It's not worth it. A g7 1440 VA still kicks ass and you can get one used for 400 bucks. Thanks for the comment. Welcome to the Zorz Family.
I have the same monitor but imma be honest idk wtf going on, is hdmi 2.1 active just by using the cable or do i have to do something in cru, all i did was add the settings to the cta-861 block that u have on which is the ULLM and what not, does that apply for all the resolutions the monitor has available? Or do i have to create a resolution because when i try it wont let me go to 240hz but i can use it in the desktop and games
Hey just some feedback, idk if it's your microphone or the background music sounding scratchy, it is eery / hurts to listen to, idk it's just something about the Audio at 02:44 i still watched the whole video and thanks for the review
Thank you so much for the feedback. In that part I could also hear it. I move around a lot and use a lav mic that isn't Zorz. Also - Thanks for watching!!! Zorz Nation!
I bought the ASUS version of the monitor yesterday and I'm already getting anxiety from playing too much OW2 and Fortnite and thinking about the HUDs burning in. Should've probably gone with mini led like the G7 or G8 just cuz I'm an anxious person lol.
You’ll be good! I don’t know the Asus exact settings but keep all the options on for OLED screen care on. It shifts pixels and it should be totally fine. Should be…..thanks for watching and welcome to the Zorz Family!
@@ZorzGaming It has a dead white and blue sub-pixels on one of the pixels so now I'm debating on returning it ☠. Panel uniformity is perfect and there's no dirty screen effect, I think I'd rather stick with the dead pixel than get a worse panel overall idk.
Thank you! I'd love to check it out but unfortunately it might not happen unless me you and a couple fellas want to hit an asus truck mid delivery ......
I have a big problem, I bought the FO48U on discount a few months ago and I'm stuck now. A glossy 120hz OLED looks SO GOOD. This screen has its issues, like the hyper aggressive dimming, but for gaming my god is it awesome. The problem is its just too big for me (theres a joke in here somewhere I know it) and I was hoping this LG would be a suitable replacement... but the coating.... its so awful I can't even describe it. If you never saw the glossy LG panel you might be ok with it but I just can't.
@@ZorzGaming Well the good news is smaller gaming panels coming means more companies will make them, maybe we will get a really good one in the next few months.
So its no different input lag? Between HDMI 2.1 vs DisplayPort 1.4? Its nice that u can disabled DSC by the LG..u can chose betwenn DP 1.4 (DSC) an normal DP 1.4
Input lag in the way we feel it doesn't seem different but the eye feeling how it hits your brain does seem different. I wish I had a more technical Explanation.
The screen moving is extremely annoying when on the LG C2. Makes the display go off the edge of the screen a little bit. It won’t make the usage unbearable, but it’s just annoying
Don't buy this if you want 5 years of value - I'd wait a bit. This is the newest of the new and the first of the first. Hopefully my future reviews coming out will give you more insight.
Perfection would be a 32" 4k OLED at 240hz . Gloss finish for sure . Flat or curved doesn't matter Then I would build my PC to try and squeeze all the FPS that I possiblely could.
no one would not care about using high brightness + DYac (+)+ Oled instead of HDR that does not work at all in the first place . Make HDR vs non HDR + DYAC+ for us .
Stumbled upon your channel, because I watched every review of the LG that exists currently.
I have to say: Exceptional review. You've been talking about stuff nobody else mentioned (for example the HDMI 2.1 stuff and the metallic bar under the screen)
Such reviews combined with your brilliant, but subtle humor will definitely be successful on youtube. You got a zorz future in front of you!
Max... All jokes aside - This is maybe the best response I've ever read. I am deeply grateful you appreciated that I do my best to find all the things that shockingly everyone else seems to miss. It's what made me want to make the channel. Well that and also getting to do stand up but with multiple takes :). Your compliments are so deeply appreciated. You are clearly born Zorz and must be part of the Zorz Nation. Thank you so much.
Every Review?? I'm guessing you're either writing a thesis on this fucking monitor or you're really considering it??
Also - HDMI 2.1 is life changing and that metallic bar can totally kiss my ass - like seriously who allowed this to happen.
The fashion police gonna move into the tech space to take this thing away....
Well said.
@@ZorzGaming I would've bought this monitor if it weren't for the metal bar at the bottom... like who approved of that design? so bad.
@@Skryfix Literally like leaving all the stickers on the Ferrari...
@@ZorzGaming Please tell us how does it compare, is it better or worse than Alienware QD OLEDs ? And Zowie 240hz and 360hz ?
One of the best reviews for this monitor. You went through some details other reviews didn't mention. Thanks for the great content! 👍
Thank you so much for appreciating and noticing. Zorz recognize Zorz!
Honestly the best monitor review I've ever watched. Dude is criminally underrated. Subbed
Thank you so much!! We be staying Zorz Together!
Great review! Honestly idk how in the heck they thought having no physical buttons besides the power button was a good idea.
Thank you so much! Yah its super risky...
I just bought two backup remotes for it from Walmart you can use regular TV remotes for this thing. The cleaning buttons are missing but that is it any other setting can be controlled with a LG universal remote it's actually better than buttons can you don't have to reach over to the monitor.
@@manicniceguy2341 Very good point! I love that! Sounds like you love it!
Your reviews are fantastic Zorz! You are funny without really trying and that shows up, and plus, you actually know what you’re talking about! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much. Do you have 27 pistols? I ain't messin with you. I really appreciate the kind Zorz words.
@@ZorzGaming I don’t! But I also was raised on Counterstrike so I’m partial to the Desert Eagle 😂
@@pistol27pete That was a bad mama jama. I also loved the silenced usp :).
Man its crazy I learned more about my monitor than watching all tech tubers combined. Nice video
Dude thanks! What a Zorz comment! Greatly appreciate you!
Definitely the most fun review of the LG OLED. Well done!
Wow, thank you Zorz sir!
For HDR the brightness should be set at 100 on the monitor otherwise it's not setup properly. You don't adjust it lower like you would in SDR content.
I completely agree. I wish there would be a 240-360hz OLED monitor WITH good BFI feature and a glossy finish, 1440p 27 inch. That would be the perfect monitor, at least for me.
Agree 100 percent. 27 inch 1440 360hz BFI with good brightness. Glossy screen HDMI 2.1 - Game over.
That but 4k variables hz bfi glossy 27-42” qdoled
@@Slader77 Drooling. Nice Profile Pic by the way. Stay out of the girls bathroom.
@@Slader774k 240-360hz would be nice if we could get stable 240-360fps in every single game at 4k max settings, but the thing is that we can't.
We can get 120fps for sure, but for some people such as myself that isn't enough. In my opinion for gaming 4k isn't worth it at all, *yet*.
I would rather have 1440p 240-360hz oled to get that stable 240-360 fps ingame ( with newest gpu/cpus ) than 4k 120hz, or even 4k 240hz since we can't really get *stable* 240fps at 4k yet ( except in some games, especially older games )
So as for now the perfect monitor would be a 240hz-360hz Glossy 27 inch 1440p OLED or QD-Oled, with good BFI feature, for example the dough spectrum black OLED monitor looks like the perfect OLED monitor you can buy, if it really is what they claim it to be.
Maybe in 5 years I can finally say that 4k will be the " new normal " but right now I can't.
Also I do understand that some people prefer 4k 120hz instead of 1440p 240-360hz. It's just that as a " competitive " player such as myself, I can easily see a huge difference between 120hz and 240hz, and the difference between 27 inch 1440p compared to 4k 27-32 inch isn't that big. In terms of ppi yes it is insanely big, but for your eyes it isn't as big of a jump than going from 1080p to 1440p for example, and on top of that you will get way less fps on 4k so it's just not worth it yet. Maybe next gen of gpus can do it, maybe not. I feel like in 5-6 years 4k will be the new normal and that's when I'm also gonna switch from 1440p 240-360hz to 4k 240-360hz.
@@ZorzGamingFor sure 💯
lots of pretty damn useful info here, wasn't dissapointed of spending 32mins of my existence on this ! Gj zorz
Thanks Vlad! Really appreciate you being involved in the Zorz Nation!
This was somehow one of the most informative yet hilarious reviews I’ve ever seen. Subbed for sure
Thank you so much Macman!! Deeply appreciate it!
best review about that monitor, by far. entertaining! keep it up!
YO! Thank you dude! Truly truly appreciate it as your comments feed my soul! *not my stomach yet* :) kidding.. Welcome to the Zorz Nation!
I reckon if you're getting into OLED this is the one. It's cheaper than its competitors at least for me (it's on sale on Amazon right now) and it is much less likely to suffer from burn-in than QD-OLED.
Plus, not every game supports ultrawide still. The anti-glare matte coating on the panel isn't really that big of a deal breaker if you game in the day (small amounts of ambient light will reflect off of a glossy screen, unless your room is dark enough). 240hz is a bit overkill but obviously is a bonus as it gives you pretty decent overhead if you're planning on a component upgrade in the future.
That being said, this is the beginning for OLED gaming displays. There is likely going to be more coming next year so waiting might not be that big of an issue for you.
I ultimately decided to buy this monitor and I can't wait. Been waiting for something like this for a long time.
I hope you adore it and love it. It is probably the overall best monitor for every scenario there is... Remember to use HDMI 2.1 if you have a 40 series card. Stay Zorz :)!
@@ZorzGamingis it only for 40 series and if I don’t isn’t DisplayPort the same?
My understanding is the 4080 and 4090 have full bandwidth hdmi 2.1 capabilites so you'll need one of those to utilize it. @@corpingtons
@@ZorzGaming ok thanks
Burn 🔥 in should not be a worry bc a 4 year warranty at Best Buy is only 149, it covers burn in. Just don’t let that be a reason why you don’t buy
Oh Really? Damn - Very cool. Ya know what though? My gut feeling is that it's actually not gonna burn in. I constantly am seeing the pixels move and it makes me feel frustrated but also safe at the same time :).
@@ZorzGaming I’m going to try this monitor myself when it comes back instock at my local Best Buy. You warned it’s kinda dim but how you kept mentioning how good the clarity was it convinced me.
@@Kapono5150 must be nice to have a Best Buy that gets stock :( the one near me hasn’t even gotten cpu coolers or mobos in for the last month. Making me about to shop online
@@ZorzGaming It's probably why the brightness isn't so high, to protect from burn in.
@@ZorzGaming I paid the 1090 bucks. Says it will be here on the 17th. Hope I enjoy it as much as u did
you are a very good reviewer, good sense of humor and presentation. and very deep analysis. continue the world you are doing and soon you will be a global channel in the monitor reviewing department. I enjoyed, 👍 will come to visit again.
Thank you! I also deal with Mice, Pads, Keyboards and other various things. Stay Tuned. And thank you so much for joining the Zorz Nation!
I tried both DP and HDMI 2.1 port. Lower input lag is on Display Port when it is used with variable refresh rate!!!
Hmm, I'll have to scope this out. I dont often use VRR so I didn't test that.
Yes test it please, didn't find this test on the net :)
I upgraded to this from the Omen 27i 1440p 165hz Monitor, this is my very first oled and I've been blown away
Sweet! Yah its really something special :)
I took your advice and hooked it up via HDMI 2.1. Definitely a little more pop in the colors. Interestingly it says it isn’t validated as a Gsync Compatible display when hooked up via HDMI but it seems to be working
RBK THANK YOU! I'm hearing a lot of mixed results from people but I know damn well for sure its more pop, cleaner textures, and just feels better. 2 questions if you're so inclined 1. What video card do you have? 2. Did you try turning on the two things I recommended in the CRU utility to see if it reduces input lag?
Your sub count is climbing with each video... once you break 1K the floodgates unlock. Keep it up!
Thanks old friend.
Amazing review here Zorz, really appreciate your personality/humor in these videos, thanks for the video!!!
Thank you so much TheGiantFox! Really appreciate it! You're officially in the Zorz Nation!
yooooo. I'm just stunned man. In awe. Dude seriously, I literally went through 10+ different reviews, including some from big 500Ks or even millions subscribers youtubers... and I gotta say, you were by far the top one. I'm just so amazed that I haven't seen you around before, you're really good. Almost wanna create an account so I can sub+like twice lmao.
Look, I talk a lot but I feel like I just need to give you feedback and give you the props that you deserve, so my b if I go on for 5 minutes haha.
You don't come off as if this is just another day of work for you, and it feels much more pleasant to listen to when compared with other reviews.
It feels more like a fun conversation about your experience and discoveries than like a pre-written scripted monologue from so-called big tubers. Your jokes are not forced either so it feels natural, it's just easy to listen to and is still informative and entertaining.
You also managed to go through more details than other big channels AND deeper in each of them. I can finally say that I feel like I don't need to go through more reviews, as opposed to everyone else's videos.
If you can eventually do tests for color accuracy, input lag, clarity, and research optimal gaming performance settings for your viewers, I feel like I'm just gonna ditch other channels completely and yours will be my one-stop shop. This stuff can be expensive (hello top tier cameras, good mics, other testing/measuring devices) but if you're serious about it and want to grow, I'm sure everyone will appreciate having a channel that covers it all this well.
Still crazy to me that I have to go through over 10 other big/giant channels and yet I still had to get here to finally be satisfied.
The "negative" (I have to, lol right?):
-Would have been nice to have sound tests opinions, through the jack/optical ports, especially since the monitor doesn't have speakers so some will use those.
How's the sound quality? How's DTS? etc.. It's not just a passthrough, it has to have a DAC, correct? How good is it, compared to say, the motherboard chip, or a 100$ popular usb DAC or something. Feels important imo.
-Editing could improve a bit I guess, but yeah not at the detriment of your quality of content and vibe. If it's always this fun this I could totally ignore that forever.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you can catch up to bigger youtubers. Hope to see more!
Either way, glad I stumbled here, this is an instant sub for me!
I guess I'm a zorzie now if that's a thing. Wish you everything.
Stupid question lol... do you have a mouse pad? just wondering because of the scratching mouse sounds in the mic when you were testing DP1.4vsHDMI2.1,
sounded like nails on a board lol.
A Zorzie!?? Omg - My heart is aflutter with your comments. Truly - I deeply deeply appreciate it. As someone who doesn't have the budget and has to buy this stuff on credit these kinds of comments mean the world. I would love to have the technical gear ( eventually) and the technical background of making better videos (eventually). I thought about doing sound tests but Sound isn't my forte but I could attempt in the future. Also I have literally every mouse pad that exists practically :) haha. What you're hearing is a cerapad kin hard pad ceramic pad that makes that noise and I can see how its annoying ! hahaha. Thank you again and I really appreciate it!
@@ZorzGaming Ohhh, never heard of such a mouse pad lol. I was mostly curious and intrigued, but it's not like it hurt or anything. Just picked up too well by the mic maybe.
It's great that you specify "eventually", means you don't lack the will, some people like to make a few videos but have no intention of growing and improving. I'm really glad that you're one of those who actually wants to!
And yeah, I'm well aware of the price of all the equipment you could need. It's not cheap. And the audio is kind of a world of it's own lol, so not the smallest task to accomplish. Those things do take time, unfortunately.
But hey! I like good content, and not everyone has the natural talent AND has it in them to put the time and effort required to make it. So while I'm very selective about content creators, I want to fully support the ones that do. And they're quite scarce these days lol, not gonna lie.
So Ima be watching your journey and letting ads play for you man. It's not much, but it's honest work ahaha. Least I can do to contribute to your growth!
I went for the monitor, after your video btw!
If LG ever asks for feedback, I'll drop them your channel ehehe 😏. Who knows, might make them look into you!! *laughs diabolically*

Pixel shift levels 1-4 mean that at level one, one pixel is shifted and at level four, four pixels are shifted. This information was provided by LG customer service

Thank you! Welcome to the Zorz Family!
Nice review man and I am lg fan I have 65in g3 oled and 65in b6. I recently purchased the msi 321urx but returned it because of annoying oled care and freesync doesn’t work. I know matte coating takes away from clarity but I trust lg the most I am ordering the 27gs
Nice! The new 240? I hear nothing but good things. I actually have a 55 OLED I unboxed and need to play on and review.
@@ZorzGaming yea the new one I had the gs for a week but returned it and waiting for lg to release a mla with gloss screen and ah nice man I waiting to see it
Yes mate! Very well thought out review. A+
Thank you very much! I have a friend who constantly inspires me... He looks just like you oddly enough...
Actually its 10-bit with hdmi 2.1 and 12-bit with dp 1.4. Also at least on the PC I am dp 1.4 with 240hz natively support at 1440p.
One thing I am noticing though is that on hdmi 2.1 the colors seems to be much more accurate out of the box compare to dp 1.4.
EDIT: OMG bro! for some reason hdmi is so much smoother lol I just tried csgo and it is buttery smooth.
Exactly HDMI is sick. Colors are better. Everything is better. HDMI 2.1 is what makes this next level.
Have to agree with Max Beien's comment above. I didn't know about the HDMI2.1 technology either. Also I loved the Signs comment at the beginning. Nice review!
Thank you so much!!!! Appreciate it! Welcome to Zorz Nation!
@@ZorzGamingis the hdmi 2.1 240hz? And why would I use it instead of DisplayPort 1.4 would it actually be lower latency? Input lag
Unfortuantely it isn't. This monitor caps it and doesn't give full bandwidth. Its hard to quantify the benefit with science but the color is way better. @@corpingtons
I have a 1080 Eizo for work and reading, so I'm gonna risk it for gaming. Even though I'm cursing myself with forever buying more expensive GPUs due to the resolution and refresh rate. Like you said, let's enjoy life while it lasts.
Eehy Zorz, I'm writing to you from Italy and I wanted to tell you that your video is still very useful today! I ordered this monitor and after seeing your content I am calmer because it gave me the certainties I was looking for, apart from the size which I hope with getting used to it won't be a problem... (I come from a 32 inch).
In this video you have a lot of style, you look like John Travolta in his golden age xD
Thank you so much! I'm Sicilian. :). My agent when I was a kid said I was her "little Travolta!". Stay Zorz!
HDR definitely adds more colors. Example: When a in SDR the wall appears solid red. In HDR that same wall would look more orange, because more true colors are now displaying on screen. HDR is so hard to get right in gaming.
Yah it... feels like its got promise but.. I don't know :).
Came for the review, the Signs segue got you the subscription too 😂
We making M. Night Proud! Hey I saw After Earth first day at the 1030 am show with my Dad and Old was the last movie we saw together. I'm a huge fan! Also Thank you!!
@@ZorzGaming Awesome!
Can I ask one quick thing?: I know the matte coating makes whites/brights not look great when browsing etc but what about blacks during content consumption/gaming? Are blacks on this monitor AS good as on your glossy Alienware oled or does the matte let it down? I'd ONLY be using it in either low or NO lighting conditions and for me the big sell with oleds are the blacks, not the colours and/or response times. Thank you!
@@thepadster123 I haven't opened the Alienware yet! I plan to do that Saturday. I will say with blacks it's not as big of a deal. But here's something else to note... With a little outside light source the screen actually brightens up. I know I've heard EVERYONE say it requires pitch black room but that makes it even darker...
Great review! Really want to see a side by side comparison to the Alienware. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on that. Loving the witty comments. I’m always expecting a laugh when watching your reviews 😊 keep up the great work!

I tried this monitor with hdmi and dp and it was beautiful. The clarity is unreal, but, then i tried the aw3423dwf and even though the clarity and picture were slightly less impressive i loved the hdr and ultrawide.
After heavily deliberation I stuck with the AW.
Agree completely. Still the best overall OLED on the market in my opinion.
Very tempted to get this.. but what I need/want is 27" - 32" 4K 120hz OLED glossy LG Monitor.
That would be an elite option. Need another year or so … thanks for watching!
Best you can get is a 40-inch LG OLED TV in that case... I have a 55 Inch LG OLED TV, it's fantastic for PC use, though mine is a bit too big. xD
Zorz review, als always. And if the other potential problems with this monitor didn't convince me to skip it and wait for better OLED, 17:44 and 26:16 certainly did.
Thank you so much dude! Yah I could live with the coating if it had that elite blur... but it doesn't. But then, every time I turn it on I'm like oh shit that's gorgeous...
incredibly informative and hilarious content. Amazing, subbed.
Sir. I am honored. Welcome to the Zorz Family!
As i got 38"ips gaming screen recently, will wait to microLED screens to come into market in future. Doesnt want to sacrifice to use any anti burn measures for pc screen by changing icons, wallpaper, etc. For TV no queations asked, OLED is only best choise.
Best Review of this Monitor. Thank you.👍
No sir. Thank you! I deeply appreciate it.
the LG has NO motion blur due to instant pixel. However it still has persistence blur like every other LCD/oled without BFI. only if we reach a 1000hz we can call it persistence blur free
Right that's why I tried to clarify it because people often don't know the difference. YES 1000 hz 1000 frame ZORZ POWER! That would be elite! However I don't think that will ever happen because they will keep upping graphics so we wont be able to get 1000 frames... maybe an elite BFI at 360 on a serious ass Oled would be the shit? Thank you for watching!!
@@ZorzGaming yeah the fps could be the issue...but dont forget we are just at the start of the whole A.I. generated frames thing
@@ZorzGaming VR microleds are already at 1KHz. The transport link is the weak spot now. ANd you can play most older titles over 500fps now so I don't see the issue aside from getting the data out at high enough resolution..

Hi againe , recieved this monitor , after testing a lot too :) i figure out that it works much better without Vrr or freesynk or gsynk compatible , try to turn it off ,and i think TPC not bother me when it
off , no auto dimming or adjusting brightness and less imput lag and clear picture too

@@ZorzGaming I got a question for you, have you tried the ASUS PG27AQDM version of this panel? Supposedly it is a lot brighter than the LG, I've seen the LG next to the samsung g8 and it is significantly dimmer. The upped brightness would be a huge plus for me. However, I've heard that it also has completely washed out HDR colours. I'm now on the fence between the two. It would suck spending 1k on a dim monitor.
@@jameskim4096 It doesn't have HDMI 2.1 which was the absolute best feature for me. But everyone's eyes are different - I don't have a brightness issue like a lot of other people do although the LG even looked a tiny bit dim to me.... I might wait for the next thing and not jump on either...
@@ZorzGaming I will get the LG, after research it seems it's a lot more reliable than ASUS. Thanks
@@jameskim4096 If you have to have a 1440 Oled right now and thats what you want then I approve - HDMI 2.1 12 bit (I hope you have a 40 series) And Welcome to the Zorz Nation!
Regarding HDR it was the most impressive feature for me. It might be not that dramatic change in games but in movies like dark knight rises it is astonishing. And it's not about color saturation only, it's about sharpness and brightness (yes it sounds weird regarding it's sdr dimness)
It's growing on me. I hardly ever watch movies or shows on my computer monitor but I can clearly see its Zorz in that scenario.
HDR is far more impressive when it comes to allowing detail in dark areas all while having super bright high lights. Look at any starry scene with good HDR and the stars look like actual stars on your screen. Colour is almost never really changed tbh in most HDR things I have watched and tested or its very very little difference.

It's a 10-bit panel accepting a 12-bit signal doesn't make it 12-bit
From the research I just did it can still support it even if it isn't native to the panel. Also the difference that my eyes can clearly see makes it pretty elite either way :).
Very nice video, hope to see you test the PG27aqdm
I WOULD LOVE TO! Don't think I can afford all of these things as I'm still not getting them sent to me quite yet :). I do know that panel will be the same one but ASUS has its chance to do its own thing on it and maybe make it even better!

thx 4 review, unique one!
i like the Cube Poster on the wall, i am fan of cube 1 2 & 3 movies.
dell p1130 is a beast, i played 6months apex legends on it but is so hard to play modern br games because of the lack of far distance visibility so i had to swap to a 27" untill this oled becomes available in my country.
i hate m blurr, i hate slow monitors, i hate ips but i have to wait for the oled to arrive to europe.
nothing compares to a crt, if i had the monney i would buy a fw900 right now but is overpriced as fk.
YES!!! First person to mention CUBE! Saw that movie in the theater alone as a kid. First scene blew me away! Yah crts still so amazing. I'm going to get mine repaired hopefully. I haven't tried Apex on a crt but I don't really play Apex. Thanks for watching!
@@ZorzGaming Cube is amazing how it fucks with your brain as a teenager, you made me download and rewatch it again i wonder how i will understand it as an adult.
I think dell p1130 is amazing for games like Overwatch, cs, val, games that are not battle royale and have small maps with close pvp encounters. in Br games lacks far away visibility no mather what rez or refesh rate you use and i tested 30+ resolution combos from 4:3 5:4 16:9 16:10 21:9

Agreed about almost everything. I think there is one more thing worth mentioning is how this oled panel displays white-yellow color junction. It's followed with nasty red-cyan fringing. Just try to google "yellow" and go to the pics. Also colored text sometimes looks blurry, but it is actually the windows problem. Didn't notice it on macOs

Hey Zorz, I just got this monitor 2 days ago and im loving it so far. The clarity and colors are extraordinary and the brightness is not an issue for me. Im running mine at 80 brightness, 100 hurts my eyes. I have a question for you; do you know how to adjust the RGB in the back? I want to turn it off or change the color. Thanks Z!
Sweet! Yah its growing on me a lot! I think the rgb is all connected so tis all or nothing...
How do you like it now? Feel the asus counterpart wouldve been a better pick?
Hexagon Rgb setting - there u can turn it off or change the colors
You mention very important stuff other reviewers not said and I experience it now already after get the monitor...
Thank you my friend! Welcome to the Zorz Family!
best review ever made nuf said
Thank you!! Truly Appreciate this!! Thanks for joining the Zorz Nation!
Zorz gaming now zorz monitors? Your amassing quite the collection (;
Thank you so much! You helped on this one quite a lot. And its about all aspects of Gaming!
Honest review. Got a sub, like, and comment. What’s your main monitor tho?
Thank you Thank you!! Welcome to The Zorz Nation :). Well I am going to be testing and reviewing 5 new ones in total so in about 6 weeks I will tell you.... However... I'm leaning towards having one for serious gaming and one for immersion. Stay Tuned!
I had an issue with the 4k bug. Found out it was Nvidia control panel keeping it at 4k even though I changed it to 1440p in windows.
Damned Nvidia!
upgrading to the 45'' model will be first ultrawide I ever used it was a mistake buying the 27'' direct from lg since they charge a 9% restocking fee I ended up just selling it and will buy the 45 oled model from best buy and put a 4 year geek squad warranty on it that way when I have burn in or pixel issues I am covered
You're going 45? Thats true gangsta! Let me know how it pans out :)
love this monitor great review
Thank you so much! Appreciate it! Zorz Family Unite!
I turned off adaptive sync and it no longer changes brightness while transitioning scenes. 16:42
Before i watched this video i ordered this monitor and pay Extra guarantii for 100 :D so it will not work for panel LOL , btw that is the best review - about this monitor - thanks a lot mate , for info about hdmi and other stuff !
Thank you dude! Welcome to the nation of Zorz!
They need to bring back BFI, and gloss coat it, and make it more hardware calibrated. The rest are small issues
Hoping they'll have a 57" 32:9 240hz OLED next year.
Yo, THIS REVIEW. WHAT? You cover shit that even the most in depth review channels didn't even bother to gloss over. I've also been chasing high refresh low motion blur gaming ever since the days my Sony CRT shit the bed. I thought this might be the one. Definitely dropping you a sub to see what's coming. Get your hands on some calibration/latency checking gear!
BROTON! Super Zorz Comment! Very very much appreciate your words! Yah I need that gear sent to me I should start a go Zorz me!
I am using my current LG GL850 400 cd/m2 monitor at 25% brightness only, I doubt it will be too dim for me :D
I found that CPC enable set off and LEA refreash enable set to OFF in service menu is crucial settins for this monitor. Can you make another video about these settings and hopefully LG will include these settings in menu for next firmware. Thanks!
OOOH interesting!!! I don't have the monitor anymore but I will keep it in mind! Thank you !!
Fantastic review. Have you done any more testing with the hdmi 2.1 vs display port 1.4? Been waiting to see if there was a testing conclusion. Thanks!
I have a little more info but nothing concrete, will be making a little video.
@@ZorzGaming Thanks for the reply. I ran into a few of the discussions you were in on the reddit subs and kinda ended up with even more questions. I have this monitor and will try out the Display port eventually, but I have a 3080 and wonder if I'll get a different result since it's not a 40 series. Never have tried display port on this monitor because of this video, but I been getting flickering during regular windows usage and wonder if anything would change. None the less, I'm excited for the update!
@@Un1oad flickering during windows usage with HDMI? Could be the cord...
So far I don't think the 30 series benefit from the color enhancement like the 40s do...
Thanks for the nice Review!!!
Can you Review the neo G8 pls
Trust me my friend I would love to review it! Unfortunately I am running on my personal funds... If only someone would send me one :)
@@ZorzGaming hm okay what so you think about the 45inch ultrawide OLED?
@@amberhamzic6289 I think it would be pretty Zorz if you like ultrawide! But I wouldn't sit too close to it :). Remember Mama said don't sit too close to the TV!
I tried HDMI 2.1 and with HDR it looks worse than DP, but with no HDR and vivid mode on HDMI it looks slightly better than DP w/HDR. Any idea why this is?
I honestly don't know why that is. What bitrate color? Vivid also changes things. Try C2 in color temp and maybe mess with the black level setting...
Maybe the source was not made for 12 bits, I don't know.
Does that Toasty app have that lower input lag option for Display port 1.4?. Another thing that helps with input lag is to go to task manager / details and set cpu priority for the Overwatch exe to real time.
Thinking I'll wait for something with 600+ nits and/or glossy
Yah - I totally feel that. And if it had 600 nits and glossy and black frame then I'm gonna commit crimes to get it :).
U2711 we used to remove the matte finish by soaking paper towels (lightly sprayed with misted water) over a day or two. Most AG coatings are stuck on via water based glue so it could be an option ;)
When you reviewing the GS? Heard it’s much brighter.
I want to get the 1440 LG 240hz with the new panel but its 1500 bucks....
Great content, bro! Do you live in Cali? I was at micro center in Tustin a while ago at the checkout behind someone that looked like you, who was in line with his gf. They had a motherboard and a lian li 216 case in their shopping cart, lol.
Thanks dude! I do! I'm in LA as I relegated to this nightmare as an actor. (Kidding, I love it). I have been there but not recently, must have just been another devastatingly handsome guy... Thanks for being Zorz!
Judging by your v ideo. Both monitors are IPS. Why is your left LG display completely grey instead of black? The IPS is blacker in comparison.
Probably due to the coating and lighting in the room and what the camera picked up. The LG is the OLED LG.
For what it was, Signs was a good movie and the ending was good too. I would say it's one of M. Night's better movies.
Oh it was soo good direction wise. The shot with the tv reflection still haunts me. Just wish it wasn't so absurd with the plot and water :).
Welp guess oled ain't ready yet cause of burn in, at least i can get a cheaper monitor now and not another thing that cost 1000$ like a valve index, a 4080/7900xtx, oled 1440 monitor, everything is 1000$ its very annoying, thank for this very helpful review.
Thank you for being Zorz! :)
Next level play…you hit all the right buttons…
Thank you Thank you!
i was seriously thinking about getting this monitor, basically because i want something with a great picture, colour, blacks and detail. but the burn in thing... really has me worried tbh. and if they are saying youre not covered at all for burn in, then thats not good. now im also debating an ultra wide. not a fan of curved. my favourite game to play is minecraft. Got any advice or suggestions on a decent ultra wide monitor?? great vid btw.
Thank you! I think a curve grows on you but if not it might limit ultra wide monitors. What are you thinking?
I guess all this time 3+ minutes I was trying to figure out what the hell monitor you're talking about from LG. I thought you were talking about their 45-in OLED; LG’s UltraGear 45GR95QE. That 240Hz 45-in LG OLED monitor is pretty damn good. I have its more expensive cousin the Corsair Flex. I also have the more expensive 175Hz Alienware AW3423DW; CPU-Z HSGHTK and 9MM3CZ
I play Call of Duty and I've been playing it since the beginning, 32-in 16x9 was my preference and this 45 in is the equivalent but in 21x9 form. The 34-in Alienware is equivalent to a 27-in 16x9.
Keep in mind people conflate OLED panel performance with their control board which is actually the limitations currently of OLED. OLEDs are capable of 1kHz refresh with real
.. My pet peeve with my RTX 4090 is for some dumbass reason Nvidia decided that DisplayPort 2.1 wasn't a necessary thing today. I wouldn't mind but my RTX 3090 already fully saturates my 175 Hertz alienware 3440x1440 and worse I have to limit it to 8-bit instead of 10-bit color.
Onscreen crosshairs are not cheating. Again, I play Call of Duty where people are Wall Hacking .. that's cheating!
Incredible informative comment! Thank you! I want the flex bad is it Zorz? Also is it the control board controlling motion blur reduction stuff like black frame insertion?
Also agree completely it should have 2.1. And I know it’s not I was joking :)
@@ZorzGaming .. The only reason that I can think that Nvidia didn't include DisplayPort 2.1 is because their G-Sync technology isn't capable of supporting it. So I don't know if it's a chip availability issue or a technology block that they can't overcome or the fact that their technology no longer is necessary and has been replaced. In either case, the omission of a DisplayPort 2.1 was a real gut punch especially to people looking at the RTX 4090. HDMI 2.1 appears to be working fine but it's not my preference. However, maybe the days of DisplayPort are coming to an end. It does seem rather odd to have two competing standards, and other than monitors DisplayPort has very limited acceptance; meaning very few TVs include a DP. And mentioning that it's also coming to the point where there's a blur between monitors and TVs, some of the best and most interesting setups that I've seen are where people are using exceedingly large 4K televisions with 120 Hz VRR + ALLM as their primary monitors with the screen split into multiple work areas for productivity. Also it works well in someone's bedroom where the monitor can double as a TV.
@@ZorzGaming .. I forgot to mention because I wasn't thinking about it. The problem with a large television set under 30 in from your nose becomes a real eye strain issue. So I wonder if something like the Corsair Flex or LG's 4K OLED Flex is just the beginning. I can tell you this, I literally would hate my monitor if it didn't have curvature to it. 800R is the closest curvature representation to have an equidistant from your eyes. Flat screen or a less curvy screen .. You're constantly refocusing and doing that for hours at a time is extremely difficult no matter your age.
Great review, this monitor is just overpriced for me. My current setup is a 240hz 1080p ips lg for gaming, and a 1440p va for desktop usage, and they cost only $600 total 😀
You know I totally agree. It's not worth it. A g7 1440 VA still kicks ass and you can get one used for 400 bucks. Thanks for the comment. Welcome to the Zorz Family.
I have the same monitor but imma be honest idk wtf going on, is hdmi 2.1 active just by using the cable or do i have to do something in cru, all i did was add the settings to the cta-861 block that u have on which is the ULLM and what not, does that apply for all the resolutions the monitor has available? Or do i have to create a resolution because when i try it wont let me go to 240hz but i can use it in the desktop and games
Hey just some feedback,
idk if it's your microphone or the background music sounding scratchy, it is eery / hurts to listen to, idk it's just something about the Audio at 02:44
i still watched the whole video and thanks for the review
Thank you so much for the feedback. In that part I could also hear it. I move around a lot and use a lav mic that isn't Zorz. Also - Thanks for watching!!! Zorz Nation!
I bought the ASUS version of the monitor yesterday and I'm already getting anxiety from playing too much OW2 and Fortnite and thinking about the HUDs burning in. Should've probably gone with mini led like the G7 or G8 just cuz I'm an anxious person lol.
You’ll be good! I don’t know the Asus exact settings but keep all the options on for OLED screen care on. It shifts pixels and it should be totally fine. Should be…..thanks for watching and welcome to the Zorz Family!
@@ZorzGaming It has a dead white and blue sub-pixels on one of the pixels so now I'm debating on returning it ☠. Panel uniformity is perfect and there's no dirty screen effect, I think I'd rather stick with the dead pixel than get a worse panel overall idk.
Would like to see a review of AOC AG274UXP from you like this one!👍🏽
Thank you! I'd love to check it out but unfortunately it might not happen unless me you and a couple fellas want to hit an asus truck mid delivery ......
I have a big problem, I bought the FO48U on discount a few months ago and I'm stuck now. A glossy 120hz OLED looks SO GOOD. This screen has its issues, like the hyper aggressive dimming, but for gaming my god is it awesome. The problem is its just too big for me (theres a joke in here somewhere I know it) and I was hoping this LG would be a suitable replacement... but the coating.... its so awful I can't even describe it. If you never saw the glossy LG panel you might be ok with it but I just can't.
I totally understand... nothing perfect quite yet. and yes the joke is - It might be too big for you but not for her :).
@@ZorzGaming Well the good news is smaller gaming panels coming means more companies will make them, maybe we will get a really good one in the next few months.
@@arc00ta I agree. Buying this thing is paying the consequence of getting the brand new tech as opposed to waiting for the updated versions.
So its no different input lag? Between HDMI 2.1 vs DisplayPort 1.4?
Its nice that u can disabled DSC by the LG..u can chose betwenn DP 1.4 (DSC) an normal DP 1.4
Input lag in the way we feel it doesn't seem different but the eye feeling how it hits your brain does seem different. I wish I had a more technical Explanation.
The screen moving is extremely annoying when on the LG C2. Makes the display go off the edge of the screen a little bit. It won’t make the usage unbearable, but it’s just annoying
It sure as hell is! Thanks for watching!
Nothing I and mean nothing has come close to gaming on my old 19" sony trinitron, god I miss it.
Nothing. I agree. :(
im on a tight budget, when I buy a $1k monitor, I'd expect it to work for at least 5y. But LG doesn't cover burn-in. My only concern :/
Don't buy this if you want 5 years of value - I'd wait a bit. This is the newest of the new and the first of the first. Hopefully my future reviews coming out will give you more insight.
Can’t wait until OLED will be the best of all worlds.
34 inches, 4k, 1000nits, 1ms input lag, 500hz, with the best bfi of all time. It would literally just be called Zorz
Perfection would be a 32" 4k OLED at 240hz .
Gloss finish for sure .
Flat or curved doesn't matter
Then I would build my PC to try and squeeze all the FPS that I possiblely could.
@@ZorzGaming my end game is a 27in 1440p version of what you said. Can’t wait until we get there and then I’m all in!
no one would not care about using high brightness + DYac (+)+ Oled instead of HDR that does not work at all in the first place . Make HDR vs non HDR + DYAC+ for us .
Good idea!
Man I have been on this same boat for years about BFI and Motion Blur. I am so sensitive to it.
Thank you sir!
You're quite welcome! Sorry for the delay. I'm a Maniac and got lost in HDMI / Input lag Research.
