Great review Had this a few weeks myself, and I am just truly blown away When you think about it, it's kind of insane how far we've come remember how 10 years ago, if you had a rig that could run any game in 1080p 60fps ultra you were kinda a beast and now 10 years later we are running at not only 4x the resolution but 4x the refresh rate with room to spare in some titles, which is kind of insane This monitor really is just a do it all monitor, I genuinely cannot find any fault with it. The only thing I can find is that the lack of dp 2.1 might hurt its longevity, but with no cards supporting it for now, and when it does come, I dont know if I would be able to tell in person between DSC and a lossless UHBR20 stream
Totally agree, the progression has been unreal over the past decade. In regard to DisplayPort 2.1, I think it’s really not a big deal for the following reason. Although DSC is still compression, it is visually lossless, meeting ISO/IEC standards. Of course no compression is always best, but in this case it was a compromise I was willing to make.
DP 2.1 won't really be relevant unless you're running a 4k ultrawide (ie.. 57") at something like ~5000x2160 resolution. Or 8k. It's why Nvidia wasn't really concerned with bringing it's support to market in 2022 but it'll probably be on the 50 series.
That is the new norm now, technology being absolutely impossible to get, until the next generation comes out and you don’t want it anymore, that’s when it becomes readily available
Man I want to get this so bad, it's on my bestbuy cart right now lol, but I keep second guessing myself. My current gaming monitor is a 120hz alienware ultrawide which is still perfect for me, but my younger brother bought a QD oled alienware ultrawide 1.5 years ago and it looks so much better than mine haha. Also I have a QD OLED Sony TV (A95L) so I know what I'm buying myself into in terms of this panel tech.
It is a really excellent monitor, but I guess it comes down to your preferred aspect ratio in the case you described. If you feel you will miss ultrawide or not
@@PatrickMcNamara8 yeah so I just bit the bullet a few hours ago and bought it from best buy. Will be strange going from a 27 inch or 34 inch ultrawide to a much bigger 32 inch but less wide. Can't wait to experience OLED on the desktop front though since all my other devices are OLED
@@squirrelsinjacket1804 amazing lol, once you go OLED, you can't go back. 240hz is amazing, but not a huge difference vs 175hz which I have as my secondary screen for many years. 4k is amazing, it's so sharp and I think 32 inch is a perfect size for it (I have a 4k 27 inch I use for work), but I wouldn't go with 4k at that size for gaming (waste of performance). I think you should, for someone who still have a 1080p and 60hz, the upgrade will be beyond night and day. make sure your room doesn't have too many stuff behind though (like window or anything) since it's basically like a mirror (reflects everything). I'm kind of expected what I'm getting myself into since I have a QD OLED TV with glossy display as well.
@@raikozy35 Nice, thanks for the details. Think I will get it when the 50 series releases later this year since I don't think my 2060 super is gonna do too good at 4K with it lol.
The only thing missing is Display Port 2.1 if you wanted to know. This monitor has a KVM switch, right? This plus everything you said would be the perfect monitor and I believe that the Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P is capable of all of this or I can be wrong but I'll find out later on today when it gets dropped off by UPS at my house and I'll let you know. ✌
Yup does have KVM, the DisplayPort 2.1 is not a big deal since no cards support it yet. And with 1.4 and dsc it still supports the full 240 in a basically lossless manner
FO32U2P (AMD freesync certified) flickers on the 4090, PG32UCDM (NVIDIA gsync certified) does not flicker, seen this on the loading screen of AC Odyssey. Asus will have dolby vision, Gigabyte will not. Asus looks dimmer in games with white colors/background, while Gigabyte has amazing brightness and color in games. Even in RDR2 snow areas.
Yup it is super frustrating! I have always said this issue would be solved by offering back ordering. But retailers never learn I suppose. I am sure the LG variant is just as good
@@PatrickMcNamara8 Hopefully haha. I hear the anti glare screen muddles the pixels. I may just get the apple studio display until the ROG is back in stock instead
There is no pinkish hue! This is a common issue on defective panels, which this one is not, if you receive a panel with pinkish hue, always request an rma
So it’s actually more than that, I know specifically the issue OP was talking about. There is a rare issue where these LG panels have a color calibration issue that makes red bleed out a bit. And these have to be sent back to factory for replacement. But again it’s a rare issue
You can see the magenta tint on the monitor starting at 0:16. This is known issue of all QD-OLED monitors, they are only good if you control your light in the room, in a bright environment these monitors suck.
lol fair, but I guess there is a price to pay if you want the best that technology currently has to offer. In 5 years time, a panel like this will be cheap. It’s a matter of what you value more, time or money
What program do you have running in the background with the champagne glass and the honey, etc? I just got one of these monitors and I’m noticing vrr flicker mostly just on loading screen in games. I’m trying to determine just how bad it is and if I should send it back for a replacement. I have a 4090 and i9 13900k so my hardware is solid. Thanks
So personally if it is only on loading screens I would not send it back, as this is common behavior. From what I have seen, VRR flicker happen on loading screens due to rapid jumping of frame rates, which does not happen during normal rendering of games. I have noticed it on like 1 loading screen, but never again. So if it is something not happening during gameplay, I probably would not worry. Also the demos I had running were just 4K OLED demo footage from LG and Samsung on YT
@@braisedtoast9002 an RTX4090, i9-13900k, 64GB RAM, and 4TB SSD isn’t solid hardware?! Lmao what planet are you from boy? Go troll someone else. Much Shrame To Famry!
This is fundamentally a technical limitation of OLED, brightness must be limited to stop burn in. It’s a great panel but it isn’t magic, all panel types have limitations, none are the best in every single way. LCD can have super high brightness, but also have much poorer contrast
@@PatrickMcNamara8 It's not because of burn in prevention. Imagine blasting all pixels at 1000 nits. How much power do you figure the panel would want? How many power bricks would you need plugged in? 8? 9? The ABL comes due to power constraints. They set it at 180w for example and keep the brightness across the whole panel to peak at 180w. Always was and always will be the main issue.

The monitor support
HGIG
HDMI 2.1
Optical out
The display is mate oh glossy?
Glossy display, which looks excellent. It does have hdmi 2.1
Great review. Is that Paper Mario in the N64? Testing my super vision :D
It is lol, I can’t believe the video has that level of sharpness
@PatrickMcNamara8 The quality of the video is great, but I just guessed based on the color of the label, lol. Couldn't actually make it out.
Too bad the peak brightness on the latest QD-OLEDs and W-OLEDs are garbage.
Yeah we can’t have everything, there is always gonna be a trade off
true, thats why i return mine next week.
To bad this thing is sold out and being scalped :/ cant find one for less than 2500 unfortunately. I think I may go with the LG variant
Yup it is super frustrating! I have always said this issue would be solved by offering back ordering. But retailers never learn I suppose. I am sure the LG variant is just as good
@@PatrickMcNamara8 Hopefully haha. I hear the anti glare screen muddles the pixels. I may just get the apple studio display until the ROG is back in stock instead
i got mine for $1700 not bad
Any VRR flicker?
Zero!
Yay happy to hear!
Asymetric stand is driving my ocd mad.
Yeah stand I am not a huge fan of, it’s also way too big. But the included vesa mount is nice
Is the pinkish hue noticeable?
There is no pinkish hue! This is a common issue on defective panels, which this one is not, if you receive a panel with pinkish hue, always request an rma
That's because of the lights present inside the room, that's the main issue with glossy displays.
So it’s actually more than that, I know specifically the issue OP was talking about. There is a rare issue where these LG panels have a color calibration issue that makes red bleed out a bit. And these have to be sent back to factory for replacement. But again it’s a rare issue

@@PatrickMcNamara8what? these panels aren’t made by LG and the magenta tinted black is clearly visible at the start of the video
mines coming today
Enjoy! It is an incredible display
@PatrickMcNamara8 just got it. I'll unbox after work. :) does it come with cables?
If its not affordable it isnt perfect.
lol fair, but I guess there is a price to pay if you want the best that technology currently has to offer. In 5 years time, a panel like this will be cheap. It’s a matter of what you value more, time or money

Peaked? Having aggresive ABL makes it the worst of the 4k oled monitor. HDR1000 looks terrible
