I have had my GP27Q here in the UK for maybe a couple of weeks. It came with firmware 1.2 and i have to say this monitor is ASTOUNDING!!! Im replaying games and its like i've never played them before! It's that good! The only issues i spotted were minor blooming on punishing RUclips HDR and local dimming tests which are designed to show this. In real life usage - videos, games etc you arent going to see any issues in my opinion. No flickering noticed either with G Sync and local dimming. I'm very, very impressed!
Do you have any suggested thing to change with this monitor? I just got mine and want to know what to do and not to do to get the best experience, thanks!
@FrequentlyPlays Honestly I just would make sure freesync is on and then g sync in nvidia control panel. Then make sure local dimming and hdr are on. Personally I turn hdr on in windows BUT auto hdr off and use the hdr settings in each game.
@@JoeMaranophotography I don't seem to see a g sync option in nvidia control panel for some reason, I've turned on adaptive sync in the monitor menu though
@@halrichard1969 what did you upgrade from?? I went from the 27" odyssey G7 . I'm also being very careful to turn it off when not being used/letting it do the pixel refresh deal when it pops up to lower chance of burn in .

Your OLED is actually showing black crush at 10.31 the mini LED is the one that is actually displaying the correct scene the extra stars should be displayed that's why they are there and your OLED is crushing them to the point that they cant be seen
Hello, my friend. Tell me please, after a lot of tests that you did between collor master and alienware, which of the monitors shows the most beautiful and detailed picture? Does Alienware have a lack of brightness or is everything great?
@@videocardzrule354I got it and regret it at first…dead-stuck pixels but after I revived dead pixel I’m happy there is still some flicker, distortion on left and right edge of the screen, brightness fluctuation, white screen uniformity colder and warmer parts are visible on certain parts when displaying white (web-some apps...I dislike dark mod), blooming is visible if you just a bit off of axis. I was baited by "futuristic" mini-led tech and high brightness...fald transitions can’t keep up with fast movement and it creates some artifacts(minor but visible). Since revival of dead pixel I will stick with it.
@@NedimTabakovic That’s terrible about your experience. I was so close to buying one, and ultimately I did not grab one. I did however just buy my new monitor a different model/brand, Newegg has the Aorus 48” OLED 120HZ for $500 refurb!!! I could not pass it up. Fingers crossed for when it arrives. Not as bright as these Mini LED displays in SDR, but a great display either way.
Hiya, what's your impression of sdr content like movies or games with FALD on? Is there any backlight bleed like you usually see with lcd monitors? Thanks :)
Your eyes need to be checked hahahaha you can definitely see the blacks are so washed out on the bottom. The picture quality of the Alienware is far superior no comparison. You did say it looks better to you so that's subjective and if it looks amazing to you and it's what your looking for that's all you'll need and you save some money.
@@korn2040 It's not though, there are at least 3 scenes in this comparison where the Alienware is producing too much black and reducing the amount of detail in the picture. It happens at 4:56 , 6:19 and at 10:31. Yes OLED is better but not on this monitor. LG are still the kings of OLED.
@S M alienwares monitor has the least aggressive ABL on any oled. Anyways I dont understand you brightness junkies. I dont use any of my ips displays at more than 200 nits.
Worth to wait for new features? Or just grab the F one? I got a Dell Deal for 1000 € (which is quite cheap for germany) so guess its a good to go? Is coding fine on the QDOLEDs?
Unfair to the LCD as the camera isn't set to the middle of the panel, so it doesn't give a good representation of what it would look like, resulting in worse black levels and contrast.
I prefer LCD because on OLED everything turns into a black blob, like here at 4:56 - zero details on this mountain on OLED, or at 6:19 - zero detail on the mane lion. Of course, contrast and black levels on OLED always will be better but the loss of details is huge, and I like to use a monitor and not maintain it. Only what we need are more dimming zones. Just imagine 5000 of them instead of 500. BTW - you should invest in some monitor arm, for two or better three monitors to make such comparisons better and easier to setup.
I think what you're seeing is actually RUclips compression. The "blobs" aren't present on the actual display and certainly not with higher quality footage/games. It's all about compression.
@@BespokeTech the limited dynamic range of cameras is primarily what causes the crushed shadow and/or highlight details in RUclips recordings. No camera on the market can accurately record the full dynamic range of modern HDR displays.
This is a video of a video, compressed for YT, and displayed on whatever kind of screen you are watching it on. Not really representative of the actual experience.
@@danbernardi1 Yes but its also slanted (the AW monitor) so you're not viewing directly on and it "seems" less clear. I think side-by-side from a distance would have been better not one closer and one above at an angle.
@@vertigo_one Does it matter? You are viewing 2 monitors with a pixel density of 120 per inch on a compressed youtube video from an iphone recording....
What about that MASSIVE Elephant in the room re this 'review' - WHERE IS THE PC/CONSOLE/DESKTOP/GAMING ELEMENT...THIS IS A MONITOR AFTER ALL, NOT A TV (--> That 3min(!!) video you uploaded 2 months ago is NOT A REVIEW) On evidence from your videos, I'm gonna call this out - you were, 100%, paid by Alienware to make that monitor appear 'better' (at >2x the GP27Q's cost !!)
The top is QD OLED 3440x1440..........The Tempest is 2550x1440. Backlit cannot compete with OLED. This review seems kinda fishy. If you need this guy to man splain Monitors to you then you need to study up a bit. Also, I would watch a few more comparisons.

Black crush can be fixed with calibration

surprisingly the ultrawide doesn't actually seem all that much wider than the cooler master panel.
it's because it's a lot further back, it's far enought that it's out of focus
Thanks for this comparison, hope I wont regret 499$ for GP27Q

You'll see more blooming than bleed with this monitor. It's minor but there. SDR is fine. Not amazing but pretty good.
Is the oled matte or glossy
Nice Video. Thank you. =)
Bottom one looks better to me and it's half the price

How do you know “how the scene is supposed to be displayed”?
how is the content when viewing 16:9 on the alienware? looks like noticeably smaller than the gp27q
Congrats! Nothing is the same after going OLEd.
16:9 on a 34' 21:9 display is the same size as 16:9 content on a 27'16:9 display like the gp
why is the top OLED screen not in Full Screen? too dull in brightness department????
It's a ultrawide monitor displaying a 16:9 video, there will be a vertical black bar.
The brightness is way too low on oleds though unfortunately under 200 nits 100% whites..
280 nits for this one though.
@@xXYannuschXx still pretty low my g7 32 1440p holds 500/540 nits 100% hah

Absolutely.

Lol lock your camera settings next time you do a comparison video. Auto adjusting makes it impossible to compare

27" is too small, my friend.
Subjective but can absolutely be true for some users.

potatochobit Shut up, my friend
Go ahead and get 42 inches TV idiot, if you think that’s small, but that is definitely not small for normal people
Nope, 27" has the best pixel density for the 2560x1440 resolution.
that is not the gp27q, 27inch isnt as wide as an ultrawide lmao

I did a video directly comparing the two. Not sure how that's fishy. You can see it for yourself and make your own judgement.
it absolutely can compete with OLED and it will win in bright content(which is most games/movies) and not to mention how OLED is too dim for true HDR
Backlit mingled absolutely CAN in fact compete with OLED. Have you even watched the video?
