I had this monitor and went and played on oled at my buddy's has and then took 360hz back straight back to best buy and replaced it with 240 hz oled I'm getting 6 to 8 kills a game now was only 3 or 4 and the picture is beyond we xplainable
I guessed 1200 usd, was close. But I have a 4k 144hz 28" monitor and don't wanna go lower res. So my next in a few years I hope will be a 8k 144hz or 10k 100hz or something along those lines.
High refresh rate for 4K means 175hz at best with significantly lower image quality. And that will require a beast of a graphics card because 4k has 80+% more pixels to render. So no, that's not a true single choice case.
I get your point that you must be a good gamer to take advantage of the high refresh rate, but on the other hand, there is something nice about higher refresh rates mainly motion clarity and input response. I wouldn't scoff at someone for going for this monitor for non- esports titles at all. Retro Gamers who play on a crt will tell you that the biggest reason they keep their CRTs around is the 0 input delay. CRT's have the fastest response time becasue of the way they are built is completely different to that of LCD or OLED. When i play retro stuff on a crt it feels amazing because you press a button and it almost feels like the character responds a millisecond before you press it. This probably becasue being used to LCDs you have adjusted to input delay so when going to a CRT or a 360hz monitor it really feels so amazing.
2:48 this is true of any piece of hardware that is designed for competitive use. An ultra high refresh rate display and NASA spec PC won’t turn a bad player into a good one but they will allow an already excellent player to be even better. IMHO, if you have a PC that can drive a display like this, I would rather have a larger 4K display with real HDR. That’s why I went with the PG32UQX to pair with my 4080. 144HZ is plenty for when I do play the occasional shooter or racing game but the superior image quality and MiniLED backlighting makes every game look so much better.
idc about resolution, im currently using an Asus TUF VG259Q 1080p280Hz monitor. (I will soon be getting the Pixio PX259 Prime S 9A 1080p 360Hz) to replace my current Main Monitor and the Asus TUF will go downstairs. in some games I get over the 280Hz OC (Running a 5950X/ 3080Ti FE)
I went from 1080p 144hz to 1080p 240hz to 1440 165hz to 4k 144hz.... I could go back from 1440p to 1080p, but after 4k, both look horrible, and 1080p I can't even see people in apex anymore
Hi. Very soon will get a new rig and need a new monitor. Please let me know if you know for sure that 4k is worth it on 27" vs 2k. Cuz I think I choose 27 over 32, but still don't know which resolution is better value
I'm currently under IPS 144HZ 1440P. Was wondering to get something new, I do both single and multiplayer games, was wondering how shockingly different 240HZ and 360HZ would feel.
Get the OLED PG27AQDM instead, still 1440p 240Hz but OLED means motion clarity is on par with 360Hz and the input lag is actually lower on the OLED, plus it obviously looks much better.
My monitor's also my TV, streaming, sports. etc., screen. 1440, 165 HZ, 32", and I paid less than half that for it. I'd consider springing for an OLED if they come out with one that matches my refresh rate at a decent price, but for regular gaming and general use, can't see how this could be worth it. My reflexes are always going to be the bottleneck anyway.
I'm currently enjoying a 3440x1440 21:9 IPS 180hz monitor. I may be in the market for a 4k monitor next time since HDMI 2.1 is out. I'm just torn between a OLED vs IPS display.
I hate Ultrawide, ruined immersion on most games because they were intended to be viewed in 16:9 as the developers intended. You don't explore dark narrow tunnel with a wide ass aspect ratio and pretend to be immersed by that. Good for competitive shooters not for regular gaming.
(0:00 Finally happened? ............ It's been out for months.) Real shame you didn't actually bother to look at the Asus website on this monitor for its technology. There is an excellent video on there about the tech in this panel. You missed completely what the Ultra Fast-IPS technology is, which is relevant to any gamer. Making it not just relevant to e-sports players. You banged on, even with analogies, why you need a very beefy PC to get the high frame rates. All while completely missing out the fact this monitor can run at lower resolutions than 1440p. It does 1440p, 1366p (92% of 1440p), and 1080p. You can also reduce it's screen area to run at 25", for 1366p and 1080p. Overall it means you can play with what GPU you have, getting crisp respose times of 1.5ms. While you can play older less demanding games at the fastest refresh rates. It won't burn-in. It does not have a weird sub-pixel layout that OLEDs have, that cause issues with anything outside of content consumption. Like the Alienware monitor you mentioned has a red and green halo around boxes like the google search box. Should have done you research before yelling at us. You didn't even really review it.
i got me the LG 45GR95QE, which is the ultrawide version at 45". It has a low PPI at just 3440x1440 but i dont notice it much and having a lower resolution also means the 240 frames are easier to drive. I think this monitor strikes a perfect balance for an "ambitioned ethusiast casual prosumer". It has nice colors, it is immersive, has great pixel response time and deliver 240 frames to give you a bit of an edge. That means it is great for all types of games, like Racing or Adventures but also fast paced FPS like Call of Duty or Battlefield.
can someone tell me the dimensions how low can the stand go? will this monitor reach and fit inside 45cm? or will i have to not use the stand and use arm mount?

It is too expensive. You could buy a Samsung 32" 1440p 240fps curved gaming monitor for £599. You could have two of them for just an extra £100 than this monitor being reviewed(not that you would, that might be overkill).
No this is not a hdr monitor and no one should buy this for the hdr mode. It’s basically unusable. If you aren’t a e sports player and only care about gaming just buy the 240hz oled asus, not the lg oled as mentioned in this video. It’s the same panel but the asus get significantly brighter than the lag 240hz oled.
My understanding of the way the human eye works tends me to think that 360Hz is overkill and the money would be better spent on 240Hz but larger screen and/or better image/colour quality. I can't imagine there are many people who could truly discern the difference at this super high frame rate...enough to make any noticeable difference to gameplay anyway...
