I own BOTH the GR and GS models. Your review is SPOT ON! I also used a neighbor's ASUS version. The differences are considerably noticeable. The GS looks MUCH better than both aforementioned offers...
I wanted to buy LG 27GR. Is GS really that much better? Why
@@soulsmouls as far as "that much better" goes, it's the brightness.. SDR mode is awesome on SR model. Don't get me totally wrong here , I have the GR, and it's pretty good, it's the dimming effect, and total brightness that should have been what the SR offers..
Out of the gs and asus which would you say was better/liked more in the end? I’m stuck between the two but I’m able to get the gs for $650 CAD (about $480 USD), or can get the asus on sale for $900 CAD (about $666 USD). So I’m wondering if it’s worth saving the $250 for the gs
@@envic9747 YES! The GS is fantastic!
LG is really going all out this year!
Glad I went with the GS95 over the PG27. Considering they are the same price on Amazon I just couldn’t justify getting the Asus over the LG.
That remote comes in handy too. Also hdmi 2.1 on the LG
Plus, from what I've seen the gs doesn't have ABL. GS is basically the replacement sku that perfects everything. Only hard thing is whether or not to go qd oled 360hz for the same price.
@@MrDutch1estick to lg. aw 27 oled glossy finish is causing eye strain in users. (search google)
@@MrDutch1ealienware 360 oled.eye strain problem with that model (search youtube)
I like that your picky when it comes to monitors and don't follow the crowd and the buzzwords. Your simply stating the truth and that is why I am subscribed. I look forward to you comparing the MSI URX to the GS good sir.
Thx friend. Thing is I can easily show these soecific things so it exists. As soon ss the 271qrx is available Ill get it
I second this
Just discovered your channel, love all the information and well made comparisons with every monitor, even down to the software updates some of us may miss. Keep at this man!!!
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words.
Rtings got their hand on the 27gs95qe and their results are quite interesting. Basically, in HDR, you're not missing anything if you got the 27GR95qe.
The performance for gaming is way better on the S. It was way too many inconsistencies on the GR
I kinda agree with that, but the SR looks better IMO.
Honestly I'm upgrading from a 1080p I bought in 2011. I think the 27gr95we will work fine for me considering it's just $599 right now.
I’m more surprised this man doesn’t have the PG32UCDM already. The Asus looks great, I’m just worried about their customer support and how they have handled software updates in the past. For example, Asus says DV will come later via update. So basically HOPE like hell Asus will follow through
I will be getting the asus in march once avialable thru newegg or amazon. Cant wait... :)
@@DisplayReality I had one in the cart at Micro Center but wasn’t quick enough. lol I just wanna order it and move on with my life, this is so annoying
RUclipsrs: “W-OLED Sucks now! QD-OLED is the new king!”
LG: “And I took that personally”
Really looking forward to the 34inch Ultrawide W-OLED! Hopefully it’s on par (or even better) than the latest Gen QD-OLEDs
The new asus 34" and 39" w oleds look good. That 30% brightness really does help vs qd oled now. 2024 will give everyone lots of options
Your videos on the GS helped me decide on purchasing it! It’s underrated as heck! Love it
I have this LG27GS95QE too. I returned the GR and made a swap. I agree that it's so much better in the brightness. Just curious why you chose Gamer 2 instead of Gamer 1? Based on factory settings, Gamer 2 is running a cooler tone. Probably that's what you preferred.
Reason is gamer 2 looked to have higher brightness as like if it uncapped a bit in hdr mode on armored core 6. I think I have a video on that. Its the armored core 6 hdr test video. Lol i forgot. But congrats on the GS🎉 it is a safer bet as that brightness is nice to have if needed..
@@DisplayReality Thank you so much. haha.. Ahhh I see. That's very interesting. Guess the difference starts to show when you start to push it to higher limits. I was about to return the GR model for a full but decided to try the GS model after watching you video on it. You made a very good review on it. Can't wait for your next review on the 27 inch 480hz comparison between LG and Asus. Keep up the good work mate!
any problems with fan noise or anything like that? Keen to get this wants it gets back in stock.
Cheers Mate
@@thepadster123 I experienced fan noise on my older monitor which is the LG27GP95R when I got it brand new. Called for service support and they replaced it with a new piece. Techinician says fans noise ido occur in some units. As for this LG27GS95QE unit, I haven't had any sort of noise coming from it. It's actually very silent and also runs cooler than the LG27GP95R. Hope this helps mate.. Cheers..
@@jinxforeva thank you 🙏
Can’t wait for the GS vs AW and MSI!
It will be a good video. I just got a secret monitor in.. to vs also.. its gonna be good. :)
I own BOTH the GR and GS models . GS is very good
how's the reading and day-to-day tasks with the GS?
A great comparison, and good presentation. Keep it up!
Good video.. so Asus over the LG gs regardless of price? Still need that 32" battle of Neo G8 vs AW QD-OLED.
I prefer the GS over Asus. I am working on the Neo g8 vs Alienware. I needed some helldivers 2 gameplay but those servers... lol
rtings says that turning local dimming off and using HDR content makes it way dimmer. How are you using HDR with peak brightness?
Great review my man! But Viktor people say Lg brand is more durable than Samsung. How true is this. Cos I’m planning to buy a Samsung qn90b
LG is great. Ppl say this because samsung sells alot more. They are 18th in a row on tvs and monitors the number 1 seller. I think since they sell more they also recieve more issues. I Am getting everything samsung this yr also. Well i will try too. Lol your qn90b will be great..
I'd be interested to see the perceptual difference of qd-oled vs w-oled, although I guess for it to be 100% fair they'd have to be calibrated? Idk. Just purely science-wise, tftcentral confirmed qd-oleds have a 30-50% higher luminance than woled in all colors other than white.
QD OLED has always been brighter in color brightness. Thats just how the panel is made. No need for testing as thats just obvious and we have known that since 1st gen. Now its up to the monitor makers to get these modes working as even on the new asus the picture modes are wonky. Couple of news outlets reporting that. I have seen other calibrated monitors and other than rgb in different numbers (by small amount single digits changed) all my monitors are calibrated by eye and idisplay pro and sm208 brightness meter to verify. I cannot give actual calibration numbers as that is their info but my monitors are the same. Besides the hype so far on QD OLED it does not destroy w-OLED. Ill be the first to not go with the trend and present video evidence of how close these come.
For matte screen users, there is no real other matte options coming out in 2024, and not for cheap, and nothing really in WOLED and matte, it's mostly QDOLED in 2024, and mostly glossy, and mostly not in 27 inch. Since the GR is on sale for $599 right now, it's almost no contest, especially since it has the least offensive body design. At that point the question becomes whether the GS is worth paying almost $300 more for....and even with the upgrades, it's not enough, even if it was 360hz, which it's not, it would still be a tough call at $300 price difference.
Thanks for the comparison. A couple questions. Have you used the ASUS with the latest MCM106 firmware and noticed any ABL or brightness difference, and if so, how does it compare to the LG? How is the fan noise on the LG?
would you still choose the 27GS over the GR if you can get a GR for $440? The cheapest i was able to find a GS is $670 so is the price differenct worth it or is the deal worth it?
@@dannysantiago8670 I honestly say yes. The difference is easily seen. Hdr is way improved but sdr is night and day. I just got the 45GS95QE for 899 and I was waiting for the GS version also. The brightness is a huge update and now its good enough to last couple yrs. LG OLEDs GR are the first gen panels so they have low brightness around 200nits while GS is 275nits and higher in 50% and 25% windows. Honestly night and day.
@@DisplayReality sweet I’m trying to switch to a gaming monitor for my ps5, I’m used to playing on a Samsung oled tv the s90c, my room is pretty dark but I still like bright pictures. I’m just stuck between how much of a difference are both in brightness for console gaming but thank you again!
Can you hear the fan on the LG?
Waiting for the LG GS version vs the new asus XG27AQDMG :D
Hey Viktor! Currently thinking about purchasing this monitor but am wary of any ABL in HDR. Have you experienced this within any of your testing?
This weekend ill have hdr on the GS. No worries ill test 3 games. Armored core and some other ones. Any ideas?
@@DisplayReality I’d say Ori And the Will of Wisps, FFVII Remake, and any other RPGs if possible. Ima big RPG fan and that’s what I primarily play on my OLEDs 😅
Need help with LG 27gs95qe
I just picked up this 27 inch 1440p OLED. Out of the box settings are not it, but I can’t seem to change them? I can only select preset modes and can only edit the brightness. All other settings are greyed out as well as the reader preset. I’m on ps5 and I am using the hdmi cord that came with the monitor and it’s plugged into hdmi 1. Thanks in advance for help.
I currently have the AW2725DF but I think it’s giving me eye strain. I wanted to try the 27GS because I can get a good deal on it $800 - 15% off - cashback, but my only concern is it’s going to be worse in text clarity because it’s not using the new subpixel layout. Also going to matte screen. Not sure what to do. This is the only video I can find good info on it though
Hey, The 27GS95QE is different vs the AW. Glossy vs Matte can be seen side by side. Do you or have you had any other monitor before? If you give me the model or monitor name I can try to better explain the coating on the GS. I have mostly all LG premium monitors and the matte is different on a couple of them.
@@DisplayReality Thanks for the reply. I have the AW2725DF and now the 27GS95QE testing them. The LG is easier on my eyes but I don't like the matte coating for white screens and lighter colors.
Can you tell me if the coating on the 27GS is less grainy than on the 27GR? I am seeing reports that the 32GS is much improved in terms of grain than the 27GR so if the 27GS is just as grainy with the coating as the 27GR then I'm tempted to go with the 32GS even though it's much bigger and 4k because my eyes are agreeing more with WOLED for some reason. I love the image on the Alienware but it is tiring out my eyes and has worse VRR flicker too.
@@rickystafford7433 I just got the 32GS95UE in. I will unbox it soon for a side by side especially on the coating. The 27GS is the same as the 27GR. Tho I know what you mean on the matte look. I play alot of panning games (civ v) so I see that grainy peal sheen.
Im struggling between the Asus 27inch 480hz and 32inch 240hz for PC and ps5 gaming…😭
That 480hz will be sweet.
Hey, thanks for the review! Currently i'm searching for a gaming monitor for my ps5. I have the LG 27GR95QE here but i'm unsure if i should return it and get the LG 27GS95QE if it get's a bit cheaper. I had no issues with the brightness at all but would you still recommend to buy the new model?
HDR is better on the GS. Plus it future proofs you. Everything else being equal. If you dont care about that brightness then there is no point plus if you got the GR at a very good price then you are set. What I really mean with the video is that brightness impact is nest on the GS but that is fornppl who want oled coming from mini led etc..
@@DisplayReality Thank you! I‘ve purchased the GR for 690$. The GS is at 879$ atm in my country.
@@DisplayRealityIs any OLED future proof? (Burn-in)
Did they fix the ghosting issue that the GR had at 60Hz refresh rate? I'm a console gamer, so I still play some 60Hz games. Just wanted to know because no one seems to be officially testing this monitor.
Thanks a lot. What is the max brightness of oled panel in nits on sdr mode? Is there any oled monitor which has more than 500 nits brightness on sdr mode?
Ill have a brightness test soon. Prob when I compare to a 27" qd oled.
To side by side. But its bright enough to handle sdr.
1 Question my super Dude without seeing yet this amazing video vs, does the LG monitor has any framemotion type for movies ?
No.. only Samsung monitors that are smart have it due to game mode. The G60B, G70B, 34" G8 OLED, OLED G9 (G95SC) and new 32" OLED G8 AND G95D will have them. The framemotion or added frames from 30fps to 60 or 60 to 120fps - I hope thats what you mean..
@@DisplayReality thanks my dude!
It's called frame interpolation. All these corporations use different annoying proprietary terms to obfuscate that it's interpolation. All forms of interpolation are garbage.
MIne is coming in two days, I also heard the 27GS95Qe is using the new MLA panel, can you confirm Victor?
I have not seen any info on the new MLA+ as it's called (MLA 2.0). I can assure you this is a new panel. The brightness is just too much improved over last yrs version. I am releasing an HDR Test as someone wanted to see Armored Core 6 and some MW3 gameplay. But I'll keep a lookout on the newer mla tech if used here. Info is still coming out. LG should have really made bigger noise on this monitor it's that good.
@@DisplayReality I agree, it's like LG kept quite on this monitor, not sure why. As always, thank Victor.
Sum1 just linked me to this video on ur channel nd this was a gr8 video! Can u make another breakdown video with more HDR gameplay?
Sure.. I am planning on the 27" w-OLED vs QD OLED from MSI. Also maybe a GS o5QE vs the new 32" Alienware qd oled
@@DisplayReality thx! do u have an ETA on when we can expect that video?
@@Tele-Upstairss when the MSI arrives which is first week of march I think. But Ill see if I can show off true black 400 vs the Alienware this week. Fri probably
@@DisplayReality Can’t wait!
Bro I'm so confused so should i get this the
LG 27GS95QE
or
Samsung Odyssey G60SD
Or
Alienware AW2725DF
(they all about same price)
Plz help
@@injured_lion the LG would be brighter than both of those in SDR. But HDR the G60 and Alienware would be best. If you decide onnthe later 2 then its matte vs glossy which the Alienware would looks a small bit clearer but the G6 looks amazing in design.
Thanks alot for the quick reply that was very fast.
But i have couple more questions
I had tried the Alienware for the weeks and it was really nice but had 2 problems
-the colors got washed out when i turn on my room's light
- and text fringe was quite bad
So since the Samsung G6 has the same panel
Does it suffer from the same problem?
And does the LG W-oled panel has clearer text?
@@injured_lion the G6 has a matte screen so if you turn on light it would help with image still being vibrant. My OLED G8 32" looks very good in all settings. Also with text while I dont have an issue with that issue I have heard LG woled have less of an issue. Its tough I know I didnt awnser your questions but each has there own quality or differences. I say I think you will be happy with a G6 especially in HDR modes. Price right now is $667 and the matte coating should help you with ambience lighting
@@DisplayRealityi think you're right, the G6 would have the best of 2 worlds
The rich color gamut of QD oled
& ambient light resistance of matte finish.
I made my mind I'm gonna get the G6
Thank you very much 🙏🏻🙂
Noti gang!
This or QD oled 360hz damn choices man...
QD OLED 360hz MSI... I just got the MAG version to test vs the MPG.
I’m in the market for the 32” and didn’t want to get the lg version because it was w oled but honestly it looks pretty sick and I’m not seeing the whole washed out look people are talking about. How’s the text clarity on that lg gs?
It is not washed out. Ppl are trashing this due to the QD OLED hype. I was surprised when I first saw this. I was used to the low brightness og the GR but this is very good. On Text? I never had a problem so I guess it does not bother me at all. I just game on these oled monitors
@@DisplayReality do you have any idea when the 32” might come out? It’s already on Amazon and are you going to do a comparison with that one ? The design on the new lg 34 and 32” monitors are so clean and minimalist. The stand is super nice too I’ll get that if it comes out this month
@@Ceeziep that 32GS95UE will be very good. Yes 100% i need that. It will even be brighter vs this 27" as its a true next gen 3 panel.
Sorry to ask but if I am not mistaken, in this video you personally think this monitor, 27GS95QE is even better than the new qd oled 32 inch Alienware?
I got my hands on 27 inch new alienware on the launch day but returned it due to low brightness and not great hdr performance. If it is true I am considering buying this one haha, thanks~
I have both the aw3225qf and 27gs95qe side by side. Sdr the LG wins easy. But in hdr there are 2 modes. Peak 1000 the alienware looks awesome and better but in true black 400 the LG is more vibrant and overall brighter even the highlights. Crazy i know. Either the Alienware has messed up mides (Which I dont think so) or the LG this yr is really bright. That new peak brightness high option on the LG is what saves it. Glossy or matte the LG which is matte looks better on impact and no image wash. I will have a vs video after the alienware vs neo g8 next couple days.
@@DisplayReality yeah I tried the hdr 1000 mode on AW2725DF but it is not bright enough in windows or other app but hdr400 mode is much brighter. Thank you for your reply and looking forward to your next great review video ~
@@xbt2459 I believe digital trends (not really sure) said the Alienware 27" hdr peak was under 950nits. Thats why I decided to not get that version and wait for the MSI. My Alienwsre can hit 1089nits in peak hdr 1000 but it does dim the surrounding scene. But Im ok with that if the peak is that high so I totally understand why you returned your 27" that hdr impact was not there. Same can be said on the new 32" pg32ucdm I am hearing many say they expected more brightness. This LG true black 400 is better vs my Alienware qd oled so that was really interesting to see. I hope the MSI is just as bright or brighter.. I know believe the Samsung version will be good in hdr as that will have the peak brightness option also but its matte. Lots of options but lots of issues or shall I say missed or lower picture modes. We shall see..
Thank you for your honest opinion and great patience~ Your video is amazing keep up the good work brother~@@DisplayReality
2025 for 34 and 39 inch is going to be nice & I’m getting impatient.
My fan is starting to make noise on ny original LG not sure if I van take it apart yo clean if a heatsunk versioncomes out that would be great.
so the new LG GS is using the 3rd gen W OLED, i want the new msi or asus 32 in 4k oled but i cant take the wait! what do you recommend
The GS is using an improved Gen 2 or Gen 3 but reduced in nits. I say this because thats what I have heard. Until someone opens it Ill bring that to everyone. I know what you mean lol on which qd oled to buy msi or asus. Both will be great. Msi has them for 949 plus you get 100 back on a steam gift card. So the msi is way cheaper and I cant wait to test. You cant lose with either. So far the asus is not impressing with the brightness and some picture modes struggle according to some reviews online.
@@DisplayReality thank you for this, i sit in my thoughts right now deciding if this wait is worth it LOL since the LG Gs is out already.
@@MarcWazowskii I say wait a small bit. The LG GS was on sale at LG with over $400 dollars worth of free stuff. G9 speaker, LG LED mouse matt and fast shipping for 899. I say this 27" will drop to $ 799 in no time say end of May. The 32" new pixel layout true next gen w-oled I hear is $1299 (not sure) but this dual mode monitor will be really good and brighter than any qd oled. I have seen this at ces 2024 and wow... I believe hdvtest has a video on it the 32gs95ue. Hes impressed
Hi bro..even this gs is 1440p can you say that this monitor look like 4K or still you can see some pixels not like 4k?
So what is your final recommendation????? Model number brand??
GS over all as its even cheaper vs the Asus.
@@DisplayReality thx confirm your model number pick plzzzzx
@@tapptomBro the model number is in the title and the description of the video.
Most likely better cooling on the lg so they can make it brighter
The GS does it has HDMI 2.1
Yes 2.1. I was able to actually get hdr, 4k and 120hz to work too.
@ViktorsReality I'm getting this one. The only thing that I don't like is that's only 0.03 response time
@@user-vy5qx1xq5b Huh? "Only 0.03 ms response time" That's the weirdest thing I've heard. I hope you do know that the 0.03 is only a marketing thing and the realistic response time is bigger.
@Simon_Denmark 1 respon time it's better than 3
@@user-vy5qx1xq5b What do you mean? Only CRT's have better response time.
so when are you going to compare the GS to the new 27" QD-OLEDS? im patiently waiting still :)
Next week for sure. Any games u want to see on them?.
So is the GS much better than the ASUS other than some slight ABL in some specific situatuons? The ASUS is currently $100 cheaper than the GS in CAD.
Thats about it. If you like the Asus then its a great choice. I can only show what I find when using them. The Asus is a way better monitor vs the GR tho.
Hey Viktor! Just picked up GS95 today and this thing has been great beyond belief. You were right when you said this was truly an amazing monitor and the lack of ABL is truly a game changer! I just have a couple questions about how to calibrate this monitor.
Firstly, I noticed that when calibrating HDR on the PS5 that it was significantly brighter than my 27AQDM although they should be around the same range which was confusing to me. However, I found out that compared to my 27AQDM which had a console mode that had HGIG, this monitor does not have HGIG at all. Instead, I found out this monitor forces you to use DTM (which goes to around 4000 nits) and can extremely blow out highlights. So how exactly am I (or how did you) supposed to calibrate this monitor on PS5 to get the best HDR experience?
Secondly, when using the Windows HDR Calibration tool on Gamer 1 and Peak Brightness on High, this monitor only went to around 570-600 nits. Another helpful commenter told me to just put the max at around 1000 nits for smoother gradients, and I read that you were able to achieve around 1100 peak brightness in a 2% window. So is this the best calibration or should I stick to my 570 nits calibration? Also, which basis should I use when calibrating the PS5?
Thanks in advance.
Hey... Im so happy the video was helpful. I actually am trying HDR400 vs Gamer 2. I think Gamer 2 enables better peaks and Gamer1 is true black 400 which caps everytjing around 400-450ish max. No abl so far in testing. For ps5 (16 clicks) is 1,000nits so maybe try 16-18 clicks. See whats better. So you know 25 clicks is 4000nits on ps5.
@@DisplayReality Thanks for the feedback! After trying both Gamer 1 and 2, personally I think Gamer 2 looks much better than Gamer 1 in my opinion (it’s a tad bit over saturated though). I just put it at 1000 nits (16 clicks) and will report back how I like it.
What do you think is the best Peak Brightness setting to use for Gamer 2?
@XxLethel I also like Gamer 2 more. The peaks are higher. On PS5 I believe we should put it a small bit more like 17 or 18 clicks as the monitor may reach a small bit more. But just try it. If you are happy at 16 good to go. Just played some unbound and am totally happy with the highlights
@@DisplayReality Great to know thanks a lot! You’ve been a lot of help for me on this OLED journey and i genuinely appreciate it
Hi, Viktor whats brighter w-OLED LG 27GS95QE or New MSI MPG OLED?
MPG OLED overall is best. But in sdr mode while I have a side by side the w-oled looks to have higher peaks. I'll have a video out soon. I just finished remodeling my area hence why I haven't released a video.. it's coming.
Do you know when the GS releases worldwide? Im in the UK and I cant find these anywhere. Im thinking of going with the GR just because of the price drop its had and I play console too so maybe its better to go with LG than asus.
Try to wait for the GS. The GR is too low in brightness even for console. If it is $500 then maybe but $550+ dont do it. You will regret it. Wait until this GS is on sale if you need it cheaper. This is worth it.
Hey Vicktor, if this is your name. I want to upgrade my monitor to this, tell me about text clarity , is this ok for normal using case like programmer
While I have never had an issue with text many who work or use it in that sense may want to wait for the newer pixel layout. The new 27" 480hz and 32" 4k dual mode will include the New pixel layout. This 27" 1440p still has the same as before.
@@DisplayReality LG's new 27” 1440P 480Hz OLED panel was exepcted end of june. Do you have any news on it?
How is the input lag at 60 and 120Hz on the GS?
So, where you able to test the SDR brightness? Does it reach the advertized 275 nits?
Full screen hdr I was able to get a little under that. When I vs the alienware I will redo the sdr and hdr test on both. I know its 32" vs 27" but until I get a 27" qd oled (msi probably) this will have to do..
The lg 27GS95QE isn't available in Europe yet... any estimated dates?
Should be up very soon. Its been since Jan in the USA.
Hi Victor, I've tried to set peak brightness at High and calibrate HDR (setting peak brightness as 1000) by Windows HDR Calibration tool. But it seems like overexposed on highlights such as sun. I've tested it in Cyberpunk2077, MWIII, Elden Ring(these were all set to 1000 peak brightness in game), and it became normal when I set the peak brightness to around 600. Should I just calibrate the peak brightness back to 600? Or it's an issue from LG? Thanks for you further explanation!
Right now the windows calibration tool is off. Asus on the PG32UCDM just had an update. Ill double check the LG. But whatever look best is what you should set it at.
@@DisplayReality maybe I got too high expectations on this monitor since I have a 65C3, which looks brighter and accurate than 27gs95qe. But still, it is a brilliant monitor since I couldn’t see any ABL in SDR mode which make me feel wonderful when I’m playing MWIII.
Whatever, thanks for your review on this monitor, I don’t regret to buy it!
Should i sell my PG27AQDM to buy the LG27GS95QE?
Is it that much better?
No... the Asus is really good. As long as you do not have any issues with it you are set. Wait until say the 480hz 1440p monitors come out.. this yr
@@DisplayReality thanks friend
which one is better to choose
27inch
27GS95QE is best or even the Asus AQDM.
So peak brightness is 1,200?
What settings did you use to get that brightness. I tried gamer 1 and 2 with peak brightness high and am hdr calibration tool in windows 11 cuts out around 580 nits.
Ignore the win tool. Its been reported that even the new PG34 from Asus shows 600nits. Ive seen some reports of that issue
@ViktorsReality so should I just set it to 1000 nits or something? I find some games like a plague tale need the calibration done.
Gamer 1 is HDR true black 400. While gamer 2 etc will get you the best peaks. Just pick the one that looks best to you.
Bought lg27gs95qe, using HDMI 2.1 monitor blacks out like a tv having handshake syncing issue. Any settings that could be culprit. Or is this monitor flawed? TIA.
FWIW, Changed setting in Nvidia control panel>manage 3d settings>Global Settings>Preferred refresh rate > Highest Available. Limited testing but seems to resolved my screen blackout issues. .
Thx for the info. Im sure this will help many if they have this to try at least..
@@DisplayReality Unfortunately it was wishful thinking and didn’t really eliminate the black outs. But closing GEForce overlay and The lg monitor settings app has reduced the blackouts greatly.
@@rayb5548 try adaptive sync on basic in the monitor menu instead of extended
is the matte screen a deal breaker for most people? im getting this tomorrow am i missing out on glossy? Ive never seen oled before or proper HDR
Just give it a try. Whats your current monitor? Mostly every monitor on the planet had matte screens before qd oled started coming out on Ultrawide monitors last yr and now on 32" and 27" this yr.
@@DisplayReality it’s a old msi OPTIX MAG272CQR 1440p so it’s definitely a upgrade from that. The glossy purist had me questioning my purchase lol.
i can state the awful ABL happened to me with the AQDM on Genshin. i returned it real fast. super annoying and distracting, and feels like your monitor is broken.
Also have not had it at all on the AW 32" !
No abl either for me on the AW.
You mean no really bad ABL on the AW 32" 4k 240hz QD OLED? I'm thinking of getting the Asus one (flat, same panel). I really hate ABL and I'm willing to wait for the WOLED if I need to but would rather have a glossy finish now if the ABL is fine.
@@Ben-pw1in I just have not seen any abl so far. On windows desktop that may be a problem but I buy these for gaming so thats how Ill judge it. But Im sure in those really specific scenes abl will kick in but since the images transition so fast I have no seen any so far.
@@Ben-pw1innon at all on the AW. i even tried to make it happen with a all white window and dragging it fast from small to large. it also could be the DV bug tho, that its always in DV. they have a FW update coming in march that will allow us to disable it. if you are in no hurry, id wait for DP 2.1 monitor. i had to have this panel for FF7 Rebirth next week :)
What is the difference between GS and GR?
The GS version is brighter in both SDR and HDR modes. It is noticable. If you can but the GS or Asus AQDM. Also a new Glossy AQDMG just released
@@DisplayReality Which is better PS5 Asus or GS?
@@Nvnas currently from every comment so far. The LG 27GS95QE is best. Less issues as the Asus has some firmware issues and quality control things
@@DisplayReality Glossy or matte screen is better?
What if the 27gr95qe is available for like $599 ? Should I still not get it ?
If you dont need 100% brightness or are happy with 200nits for gaming then its a nice choice. I personally cannot fully use any monitor under 300nits. The GS which is brighter can be found for $699 on a sale. Wait for next or this week for sales to begin.
@@DisplayReality alright. thank you
Hey mate should I use DP 1.4 with DSC on the 27GS? It’s on by default for me
Yea. No issues.
@@DisplayReality thank you so it doesn’t matter? Do you have any recommendations for settings? Somehow I like gamer 2 mode but does that raise the chance for burn in since it’s 100% brightness?
@@xokin156 I also have it on gamer 2, black stabalizer at 60 peak on High. Im really not worried on burn in as LG has a 2yr burn in warranty but if it bothers you Gamer 1 is a small bit lower or you can keep peak brightness off or on low. My monitor pixel refreshs every 2 days so it will help with that also.
How are you able to play street fighter full screen?
Yes. No problems. This is on xbox series x
I got the GR version last month and has and horrible abl or asbl for working and browsing and going me crazy and pain in my eyes , is this version much better on this? I thinking to retune it and buy the asus oled , it’s much better ? Or you recommend to wait for the gs in Europe , gs vs asus? Much difference?
The GS is very good. I can only saybwhatvI have tested and right now the GS shows no signs of oled dimming on all my games. Another option is the new koorui oled. I will have an unboxing soon. Its cheaper too. But the LG has that remote which I do love. I can have another video soon on the GS with some windows sizing.... if you need it.
Thanks!, my problem isnt in games, are in borwsing or working on pc, when you put a small window to fullscreen , screen dim if you hava a contrast over 69 and get brighter if you down this valor, is annoying and drive my crazy, i by a service remote control and nothing changes.@@DisplayReality
@@DisplayReality Hi, yes, i want to swap the GR for GS; but are too expensive for me, and need to konw if the problem is solved --> if you open a windows tab in a fullscreen , (or chrome or similar) , if contrast are hig, then dim screen and if contrast is low, do the opposite (get brighter), not so agrressive specially with engergy saver in off, but still here and hate it, thanks!!! (doy you know if the asus screen do this behavior?)
What is better, this or AW2725DF?
I hsve not tried the 27" QD OLED. But I will get the MSI 27" QD OLED to vs them. Should be fun. Color will look better on tbr QD OLEDs. Brightness looks to be better on these new improved gen 2 and 3 lg psnels. No matter the coating it does not look washed out all.
You ordered the MSI already? I get mine tomorrow and as I previously said if it's not my cup of tea, I'm definitely going to consider the LG GS.
@@DisplayRealitywhat about the 32” AW vs this for console gaming
AW2725DF.
@@AFGixxeR88I’ve got the GS95QE running on my PS5 currently and it’s been great. Coming from a Dell S2721DGF that was also 1440p , this OLED just looks so much better. I play in a darker environment so it’s plenty bright for me. It also feels more responsive to controller inputs than my Dell did as I mainly play shooters. Does 1440p 120hz with VRR on the PS5 which is what I wanted
So GS is your favorite 27 inch currently?
Its my fav 27" until I get a qd oled to test. Prob within next 2 weeks.
@@DisplayRealitywhat about GR
@@soulsmouls the GR is lowest in brightness innsdr and hdr. Its very dull looking vs the other options. Save 100-200 more for at least the GS or QD OLED. You will be happier
@@DisplayReality how long will it last me do you think
@@soulsmouls if you dont need brightness then its a good buy but only under 550 for the GR As on sale the GS can be had close to 640
Yo Vik😊
Hey Mikey!! Lol goonies
On the GR version, the gamer2 setting looks horrible in HDR. Way oversaturated. Vivid mode in HDR is even worse with bright scenes undersaturated & dim scenes way oversaturated even compared to gamer2 setting. At least gamer2 is consistent in its presentation. Gamer 1 is substantially less bright but more in line with intended HDR presentation.
More color is not always better color. More brightness is not always better if it messes up the presentation in other ways.
Hopefully saturation levels & brightness are more in line with intended presentation.
I will be getting the new GS version tomorrow.
HDR is much improved especially in HDR true black 400 mode. Pls let me know what you think of the GS..
I am guessing, but if this is a new panel, they may be using the new blue PH-OLEDs. If so, this would possibly allow them to make the panel less expensive as I have read somewhere that they were using 2 florescent OLED diodes per subpixel. PH-OLED is 3x more efficient allowing them to use a single diode per subpixel, reducing the amount of the used by half while still allowing an increase in brightness & to do so at slightly lower power usage. Blue PH-OLEDs are likely more expensive, but since they can use only half of them, they can be made less exppensive.
Hi there, I got the LG 27GS95QE-B tonight. While there doesn't appear to be any ABL, that is a little deceiving as while it doesn't seem to dim in any odd way, the SDR modes when opening & closing a dark window in front, high peak brightness has no affect on a largely white window but does have an effect on a largely dark window. So some dimming is happening in SDR modes when high Peak Brightness is selected. Low peak brightness seems unaffected this way.
I will say even on low peak brightness it is still quite a bit brighter than the GR version.
As to the possible efficiency improvement if power supply is any indication that appears to be absent or minimal as the new power supply is rated for 140 watts where the old one was rated for 110 watts. New power supply is slightly larger. This may be the same panel with beefed up driver circuit.
On the other hand colors look very good. About the same as the old GR version. In the high peak brightness mode though in HDR there is a slight increase of posterization otherwise gradients are good considering brightness increase. Much better than on the brighter modes on the GR version.
Vignetting is still alive & well though. Center is still slightly brighter than edges as on the GR.
Center of the back cover seems to run a bit warmer than the GR version. Not real hot but definately warmer to the touch.
Gamer 1 is the best most natural presentation for HDR content consumption. I can see where gamer 2 might be better in some cases for gaming.
@@ronaldbrandt8037 Hey, I was thinking about picking up the GS because the ABL on the AQDM is driving me insane in HDR. I have a couple of questions about the GS that I'm curious about before I fully return the AQDM and grab the GS. (This is my first OLED so I'm trying to figure out what's the best for me currently.)
Firstly, how is the ABL with HDR enabled on the GS? Currently, everytime a bright white image appears the screen greatly dims (albeit only for a moment) this is a major annoyance of mine with the AQDM. If this is non-existent on the GS that would be a major selling point for me.
Secondly, what is the max nits in HDR on the GS? I've seen a report on reddit that it only goes to around 550-600 nits (in Windows HDR Calibration) and begins to clip. Apparently this happens on both the high and low peak brightness setting within the OSD. This would be in comparison to my AQDM which goes all the way to 900 nits.
Thanks.
I can't measure HDR brightness with my colorimeter but I can measure SDR brightness when calibrating sRGB. There I got 326 nits in LGs calibration program using the Spyder X colorimeter. In Victor's other video of this monitor he shows it getting over 1100 nits in 2-3% window size. This is brighter😮 than the Asus model & has better HDR color than the Asus.
In practice full white screen brightness is bright enough to put the GR version to shame & I would imagine it to be at least slightly brighter than the Asus but with much better HDR color overall.
As with the GR version I found that setting Windows HDR calibration to 1000 actually gives better result with smoother gradients & no loss of peak brightness.
best settings to use on the gs95qe? mostly for cod
Brightness:100 Contrast:60 Sharpness:70 Gamma:mode2 Six color Saturation:100 Black Stabilizer:60 Black Level:Low warzone brightness:50 😍😍😍
@@frederickm5879How do I get all these settings? Everything is greyed out on all of the presets and there is no custom preset??
I can get the gs for 550 dollar, is it worth it over aw2725df 1050 dollar . I got 4090 gpu
If I had to choose I would get the GS at that price. Make sure its the GS and not GR.
@@DisplayRealityyeah its the gs sale now on lg where im from. The 360hz is also a good option. I have the aoc 240hz oled now. Im gonna change it back and go for 360hz wq oled or the gs version. Please help me decide hehehe
@@cr9731 the GS is brighter but 360hz is nice to see if you need it. Your 4090 shoukd be abke to handle it. I personally dont think $500 more for a 360hz qd oled is worth it. But think about what you want. If you need 360hz.. like really need it then its worth it..
Yeah thats the thing hehe. Its 500 dollar more . But i got the aoc 240hz now oled same panel as gr i think
@@cr9731 if its the same as the GR then to see a difference a 360jz would be better. Maybe wait for a sale? Usually Dell has black friday deal year round. Maybe by may.
It's dumb LG did not give this panel a competitive 360hz like the QD-OLED.
I agree. The 2020s are gonna be about pushing frames. 240hz 1440p oleds in 2024 doesn't feel like an upgrade
1080p 360hz is not great at all.
@@J_Brian Then it's good we are talking about 1440p 360hz.
240Hz vs 360Hz is hardly something majority of people will pay attention to.
120-180Hz range is enough tbh.
I could barely tell the difference between 180Hz and 240Hz .. And when I tried the 360Hz it felt very similar to the other 2.
ayyy
Let us know ASAP about the MSI 321URX. Isn't that the $949 32" one? The Asus PGUCDM 32" came out but for $1299, doubt anything of it is worth $349 more. Only ones I'm holding to see reviews on are the MSI 321URX and Aorus 32U2P.
Here is some info. Best Buy has the MSI 321URX at $899 and the 27" at $749. I will get both of these in asap
@@DisplayReality you got to have some information on how i can get my hands on the msi 321URX. Im hoping end of february, i see ppl saying some as late as april. This might really make me get the 3rd gen wOLED LG gs.
@@MarcWazowskii the MSI shipping is march 6th-20th. So be on the lookout. First small batch sold out but restock is coming. These all wont be oos for too long.
Hi bro..even this gs is 1440p can you say that this monitor look like 4K or still you can see some pixels not like 4k?
Pixels at 1440 on a 27" is clearly noticeable. I have an ips UltraGear same format, and it's something I can't ignore. That's why my next monitor will be 4K 32" ( as I can't find 4K 27" ), but not bigger. Being TN, IPS or Oled doesn't make any difference in the size of pixels. It's a matter of proportions between surface and density (PPI).
