    I have this monitor. I got the brightness to stop fluctuating by turning off the energy saving mode in the general settings. Specially this is called "smart energy saving". This is a separate option from the DFC one.

      What’s your personal opinion about this monitor? And usage? Does the automatic brightness adjustment work well?

    • @adventuresinbytes
      @adventuresinbytes 2 года назад +36

      @@SwissOliver The automatic brightness stuff sucks which is why I turned off both DFC and the other option. I have not tried keeping DFC on but turning off the other option to see if one is worse than the other.
      I do not have the problem mentioned in this review where the monitor needs time to 'warm up'. It seems good to go the second it turns on.
      The build quality of the monitor is good. Reluctant to call it excellent as I think only Apple makes truly excellent built things. Some would say overbuilt. But the plastics are premium feeling and the monitor stands are robust.
      I do NOT like the gloss plastic on the sides of the monitor. Glossy plastics are dumb and no product should ever have it.
      I like that the gamer aesthetic on this monitor is low-key and minimal. No overuse of weirdly shaped plastic to appeal to teenagers.
      The colors are great, it works well in games. I'm not one to pixel peep this kind of stuff. Are the blacks as good as OLED? No not going to happen.
      Is this monitor worth the price? For me yes because I have no plans to upgrade this monitor in the next 6 years. I think this monitor is an excellent example of peak IPS technology. The end of the road, if you will. I'm buying into the greatest this tech has to offer and will stay here for as long as possible. Waiting out and bidding my time until OLED-QD and Mini and Micro LED become affordable and useable in a desktop scenario.

    I have this monitor. It is simply the best monitor I have ever had. I do not have the brightness flicker, but I disabled Energy saving. DFC is off. The color accuracy on this monitor is simply fantastic to look at, blacks are great for IPS, better than any IPS I have ever seen. I have all the good you spoke of and literally zero of the bad. I got a Perfect panel with 0 light bleed.
    QUESTION: is 12 bit with DSC a better picture than 10 bit without DSC? This monitor is SO amazing looking I am having a hard time seeing the difference. Games look absolutely amazing on this. WOW is an understatement.
    If you want an color accurate 144Hz gaming monitor in the 32" size. stop looking and buy this. Nothing else compares IMO.
    I also do not have the Warm issue at start up. I think you could have a slightly bugged monitor.

      In games G7/G8 Neo is probably better but for work/games this monitor can be more appropriate because G7/G8 Neo have got an aggressive 1000R curvature. It's not for everybody for sure.

    • @socialreport2836
      @socialreport2836 2 года назад

      There are no any 12 bit color depth in the monitor, it's a gimmick. Maybe it can be applied only for grays and blacks, as some monitors can support 12 bit depth brightness (including Neo series) but it's different.

      I have got G9 Neo (and I know other people who own it as well) and there are no any issues with it, almost perfect, even the scanlines are invisible at 240 hz. G7 Neo seems to be better than G8 Neo (quality/price) but they are both much dimmer than G9 Neo in real HDR scene. You pay for what you get.

    I like how here in Canada I find the 32GQ950-B at 1,7k or 1,65k on Best Buy and Amazon respectively vs the 27GP950-B running on a discount at 1,018 initially 1,2k still saving 500 or 450 bucks actually. I don't know how's the pricing elsewhere but I doubt it's 100$ difference in the US. Imo this big price bump isn't justified between these 2 products. Plus when there's the Inzone M9 or the Neo G7 being 500 and 150-200 bucks cheaper respectively to this 32. In my use case I look for decent / good hdr and freesync premium for regular and gaming usage

      I am currently choosing what to buy. Either the AW3423DW or this LG monitor.
      Alienware’s OLED glossy screen sounds really tempting, besides it’s ultrawide, something that I haven’t really tried yet for gaming. However I’m worried about the low PPI and burn-in.
      This on the other hand is a very crisp 4K monitor, with better SDR brightness and it won’t ever burn-in, however the contrast ratio is conventional (it sucks) and besides the resolution, it won’t give me much of an upgrade over my current 32” 1440p 144hz monitor (also from LG).
      I’m currently something like 70% for Alienware and 30% for LG. But I’m still researching and this might change.

Its in the low $700 dollar range, where the LG 32GQ950-B is mid to high $800 range. Does anyone have experience with “both of these” and could tell me why you’d get one over the other. From what Im reading there isnt a huge difference. Can save about 120-140 bucks on the 32GR93U or is it worth spending the extra and getting the 32GQ950-B? Thoughts , suggestions.

Can’t wrap my head around any 4K monitor until we’re at that point, 1080p and 1440p are not even as crisp since the pixel density is a lot more for 4K.

    This monitor is wayyyyy better than the Alienware QD OLED. Shame on any reviewer that doesn't think so. I get the whole OLED craze, HDR I get it. This is next level for an IPS panel. I'm telling you this is the nicest IPS panel Ive ever seen, it makes the 27 GN950 look like absolute trash. If you think this is simply a 32 inch version of the 27gn950,, think again. It's not an exaggeration, you won't feel like you missed out by not getting an OLED.

      If youre looking for a 4k 144hz monitor you might aswell go for the much cheaper M32U, or just spend a bit more for something that can actually handle HDR like a 43inch QN90B, saying that the aw3423dw is an overhyped monitor but then talking about the 32qg950 like if it were a godsend and a step up from other IPS monitors is the most bullshitery bullshit Ive ever heard.

      @@iamfrog6747 the Gigabyte is trash. Its a cheap panel for people who wanna buy a cheap panel. Thats my point, this ain't any other IPS. Almost to a point where I truly don't regret buying an OLED at this price point. The colors and saturation and pop is amazing. I saw all these monitors in Microcenter before buying it. Now the Neo G8, that impressed me. The panel looked amazing l, but that curve is unbearable. I saw that QD OLED and I couldn't believe how much it disappointed me picture wise. HDR is not the end all be all. The LG is a super fast, super punchy panel, and it looks amazing. It doesn't have that typical monitor coating either which kills picture quality even at 4k. It's just so daam smooth. You can't just base everything from what you see on paper, not everything translates.

Also, ppl mentioned G8 has issue with accurate colors pre-calibration. 240Hz less concern to me since I don't game high refresh games and anyway have only a 2070 graphics board.
    On the other hand, I saw great reviews of the LG and ppl say even tho it has only 32 dimming areas, it's quite good for HDR contents and colors are accurate from factory.. So what do you think?

Try faster ufo moving speeds and LCD vs OLED differences will become obvious. Perhaps 3000+pps speeds. Fast competitive games utilize even faster speeds. Realistically default 960pps speed is too slow for demonstrating small gtg differences.

      Do you only play console games? For PC games 34/35" 21:9 is more immersive and overall better than 16:9 32" (the width is more important than the height for a cinematic view). The advantage of IPS colours vs QD-OLED colours is doubtful. QD-OLED has got a very large color gamut. HDR Color Volume is probably even better in QD-OLED, in SDR Color Volume they are probably comparable.

Scanlines are only visible in certain and very rare situations and only at 240 hz (on certain blue color, not all blues, almost invisible, scanlines on white color seem to be not visible at all compared to the previous firmware upgrade), at 120 hz there are no any issues with scanlines. I tested it myself, the quality of G9 Neo is excellent right now, maybe especially the batch after january 2022. The firmware upgrade 1011 is a way to go for this monitor. It's certainly the best for multitasking.
      AW3423 has got some fringes, it's true. In HDR gaming it is better than G7/G8 Neo though, as G7/G8 Neo has got 420 nit HDR hilights in the real scene (maybe the firmware upgrade will increase the brightness), AW3423 - 480 nit without any blooming.
      G9 Neo has got 800-900 nit hilights in the real scene, so it's almost 2 times brighter than AW3423. Possibly HDR is the best in G9 Neo in bright gaming scenes, 32:9 is quite immersive, not comparable to anything even close (even to 21:9). For programming it's the best option, of course. It's worth testing, if it's not too late :)
