Doing the lords work with these comparisons. Keep up the good work
Max Luv.
Hey my brotha😊 I went a projector route this time cause I was tired of buying tv's. I like the change for a minute. Still love my OLEDS. 😊
Hey my brother have a good Friday and weekend too😊.
OG what up.
Thx for the review😊
I think I have to choose Neo G7 or AW3225QF. Only concerns about burn in hold me back from the QD-OLED.
The thing I have noticed with watching your vids and doing my own side by side comparisons with my AW3423DW, AOC Q27G3XMN, and AOC AG344UXM was that while mini LED can get brighter in larger scenes it looses massively in specular highlights and anything that's small... And with games you get a TON of highlights. They are usually a lot dimmer as the zones just cant keep up with with how small highlights can get. If you mod cyberpunk to fix the black level you can see it on headlights in the distance, QD OLED looks really bright while Mini LED looks a lot dimmer ( not bad at all though depending on the price you can get one and also no burn in ), same as stars, small lights, windows etc. Also like you said the detail in the dark scenes. That said mini LED is still impressive to me and considering we are getting cheaper and cheaper mini LEDs that allow people to get into REAL HDR at affordable prices has me excited. Loved these comparisons dude and love the effort you put into this. For anyone wanting either get QD OLED if the mini LED costs the same or more, but if you can score a deal or are scared of burn in, Mini LED is a great option for good HDR.
Well said.
Gona try this out currently using a lg c2.
hello, very nice comparison, I am currently hesitating between these two monitors mainly for gaming, but I am more afraid of burning because sometimes I can play the same game for 6 hours in a row like last epoch etc this kind of game which has Constant HUD sometimes a few hours on RUclips.. I would like to know which one you would recommend for such use? thanks in advance and great video
Forgive me on the delay, you commented in between a break I needed from social media.
Burn in is not of major concern.
That RE4 title screen looked *really* dim on the AW. Is the lower brightness from OLED a problem for you? And have you noticed any distracting ABL? I'm thinking of getting the Asus QD-OLED but I'm nervous the brightness just isn't enough.
No and no.
How would you comment the 2 monitors if you play fighting games like tekken 8 or street fighter 6? I ordered the 3225qf to play tekken 8 and was wondering if I made the right choice. I also favor curved panel.
Prior upload if you didn’t see I played some SF6, maybe check it out might be helpful.
The 3225 while might not be perfect, is a step above in all regards to what I got last year.
Tekken 8 was better in term of HDR vs SF6. Teekn 8 Look absolutely amazing on the AW. Make sure to keep it on TSR for Tekken 8 as that gives the best picture quality.
@@studior3dd SF6 is an SDR game
@AllAboutTKK I didn't even realize that, no wonder. Thx
You can have color saturation on OLED per game by using ReShade (through NVidia Control Panel it's also possible to do it).
Just ordered the 32 inch AW. I got tired of waiting for Asus stock. Hopefully the panel won’t be all scratched up like others were at delivery.
QD OLED seems to have pinkish whites in the RE4 comparison
aww need to compare 2304 zones like on the odyssey neo g9 57 vs a oled
i have the neo g8 and kinda disappointed with the black crush you can also see on the video whenever there are dark scene "MORE" details on an OLED compared to mini LED where the dark part is only black where as on the OLED you can literally see there are things on those dark areas
This is probably a dumb question.. would you hook this up hdmi 2.1 or dp1.4? Heard the gsync issue was fixed with the new firmware
No question is a dumb one. Not asking is dumb.
But display port for pc 100%.
Please give us the hdr and sdr settings for the neo g8 🙏🏻🙏🏻
My settings sdr neo g7
Local dimming high.
Contrast adhancer on.
RGB 45 50 47 perfect white
Contrast mode 1
Contrast 90 after 90 the white are to blooming! The clarity will wash out 90 is absoluut the max.
Black lvl 11.
Saturation after playing 70 its to saturated. 60 is nice. But everytime i go back tl 50 is for me perfect really love the natural look
Profile custom.
who has faster responses? who has the most imput delays?
Whoa black level from mini-LED is amazing than i think
sucks gonna have to return the alienware. return window is this weekend and they still havent said a word on fixing dolby vision issue. still looks good but capped at 500 nits is unacceptable for the alienware.
Just an FYI.
Stock Neo G8 black equalizer is 13 on both HDR & SDR. Interesting that you said it was on 6 default. You can go up to 16 without it failing the 0-255 black level test. You having it on 15 is exactly how I have it.
Might come out of the box as that but when I did the reset default those were the valve numbers.
But yeah 15 is a nice sweet spot for it!
Yo homie😊
8:21 We are entering in a fun era with these OLED displays. They could actually be brighter than MINILEDs as long as only a very limited amount of pixels (Such as less of 5% in total) are switched on, which is the case here on this isolated text. But as soon as the display has to "share it's brightness budget" across more pixels, then everything gets dimmer il comparison to MINILEDs capable of sustaining a fairly high brightness across as many pixels as they want.
This OLED flawed advantage mostly comes to play in space scenes or in night scenes as you've been able to witness here on Tomb Raider.
There wasn’t much of anything in person I enjoyed on the mini LED vs the QD-OLED.
If this were a traditional WOLED with or without MLA, maybe so, but the QD option has the bright potential mixed with the perfect contrast that just makes it an immediate win. But these are just my opinion.
I’m actually very happy with the AW3225, no desires to even touch another entry from other companies either due to this one being curved, it’s really good.
How about scenes set in a bright HDR daylight ? Was the MiniLED advantage that noticeable against the clamped QD-OLED ?
I would totally forget about WOLED because they loose a lot color accuracy the brighter they go against QD-OLED and MiniLED displays.
Yes this QD-OLED Gen 3 seems to be the point in time many have dreamt on since the late 2000s when we first heard about the tech.
I doubt they are going to improve much as the only tech that will overtake QD-OLED is going to be TCL's Inkjet RGB OLED who are not ready for prime time yet.
@SP95 my honest opinion, (this isn’t a paid promotional video) it’s pretty solid on all cases. The DV HDR could use some work, but unlike MSI offering, this panel will receive FW updates. It’s everything I hoped for.
Thanks for your additional thoughts 😁
@@SP95 thanks for the conversation, whole reason I started making content was because I enjoy the engagement.
Whatsup bro i got this alienware but im really afraid to get burn in after playing same game different day, ok they are a warranty but idk men im just in trouble with that , im in reflexion to return this AW to get the G8 whats your advice ?
My advice would be to not worry about burn in.
Ok thanks you i gonna follow your advice , thanks to give me a answer
The neo g8 just dropped price again near me. $797 delivered. Still can't decide. Will probably be happier with the oled though.
I can believe it, it being 2 years old. Needs to be $500 for its ago.
@@AllAboutTKK you're right for the trade offs it needs to be cheap.
Just got it yesterday for $379 on Samsung, waiting for pickup.
Samsung edu account is selling Neo g8 for $550. For that price, I might try to make it work. lol. I have the Alienware myself and it’s pretty great but software and fw is buggy
Haven’t had a need to any FW or software concerns myself. It’s been plug & play perfection for me.
Even at $550 it’s hard to live with the contrast angles on G8, that’s always been its largest opportunity
@@AllAboutTKK I had issues with the monitor reporting that it was overheating and also really bad screen tearing with g sync at max refresh . They specifically addressed that in the latest firmware update. After the update, they broke changing the hdr color profiles in ddm. Someone from Dell actually called to follow up about the overheating today.
Neo G8 can be had for $522 to $549 with EPP, just grabbed one for the $522 for my son. Older son will be getting the alienware soon.
where at?
@@cdeppracing216 Samsung
Just got it yesterday for $379 on Samsung, waiting for pickup.
yes, I messaged and got a refund on the difference for 399@@khanhvu6969
got it for 1 dollar, waiting for self-call
I'm Ok with you, a gaming monitor is a curved monitor ! I really don't understand why MSI, Asus (and the other brand) made flat monitor while their other gaming monitors are curved.
Since the morning aw3225qf is orderable for 1120€ . I really want to purchase it, but I tried to waiting next black friday to made my choice at the best price. It is a shame that the alienware doesn't have 2.1 Displayport.
And i still want to see the fury of Doom Eternal on the Alienware
Yessir. Gonna make content on just the monitor itself going forward, just no more comparison.
i dont know lol...just both.........great..
lol, that’s how it is sometimes.
Bro is it weird that on my own G8 with HDR on at max on this video I see a ton more details and no bloom on the Alienware, but the G8 in the comparison is kinda scuffed with insane crushed blacks and blooming? 😂
lol.
Am I the only one to prefer the Neo G8 here ? 11:55
And here 18:25
I don't know, maybe I need to see OLED with my owned eyes, coming from the 1440p G7
Probably are not but the G8 flaws over the QD-OLED are something many who have adopted an OLED will not live with.
It’s a reason there isn’t a slew of brand new variants of mini LED coming out but yet QD-OLED. They are all coming out hundreds less than G8 when it dropped and the contrast is just nothing shy of perfect.
but the brightness on the g8 makes it more addictive. the alienware brightness is no brighter than g8 which makes your eyes feel nothing but boredom no focus. not only the g8 is more addictive to the eyes but the curveness of the g8 wraps your view eyes and your face and your view angle in a such a unexplainable good way. and that light bottom corner on the alienware would be so distracting
Hello, you tested only hdr? Because hdr only a few games will look good in hdr.
Iam so dissopointed because are all 1000+ screens. And only for hdr, sdr is not that great because of the brightness. All hdr every game every program needs to be tweaked. And then sdr please show some sdr content. Sdr is for me still the best! Viberant clerarity good brightness.(but for qd oled) low brigthness). You can only get advantage with peak brightness when you turn on hdr. I had alienware aw34.... qd oled yeah deep blacks high contrast but i had never one single time a wow factor with hdr on. I calibrate everyting from deep dark blacks to reshade to everhthing.
And when i turn SDR back on on a non qd oled it blows my mind 😁.
SDR with local.dimming like the neo g7 or neo g8 with some tweaking for the perfect white. Still it blows me away.
I think the hdr wirh all the things you need to for the so called perfect hdr no still not satisfy me.
With the neo g7 and neo g8 you got hdr i dont use it but you have it. And you can use sdr with high brightness deep blacks very good contrast and local dimming enable in sdr its still the all rounder for me.
Yes viewing angle sucks. Buts thats VA and gues i play not sideways but at.the front of the panel haha.
But what i wanna say its hdr to much focus on it atm.
Sordy for muy bad english i could do better haha but typing on my phome haha.
And btw thanks ofcourse for the comparison love it
Thank you.
Everything is good about oled until you encounter burn-in or you are doing work with a lot of texts and static background.
Have you experienced this or shooting worst case scenario out there?
Panels of today have pixel cleaning, image shifting technology to help with this. In order for you to see tech you would have to have some type of radical static images, from a monitor perspective it’s going to be much harder to destroy the panel VS tv panel because the same type of content won’t be viewed, think reading an article vs a tv being idle on let’s say CNN, FOX, ESPN, etc.
Everything is great with a Mini LED until you see that bleeding white to black.
Worst case scenario, hence my fear of buying OLED monitors. I can do anything with my monitor and not worry a thing. I can have it on all day, static image or not, no issues or fears, and texts are as clear as it can be.
No bleeding, no dead pixel. I’ll wait a bit until there is no burn-in absolutely.
@@ceuser3555 monitor abuse!
There will never be no burn in absolutely on an OLED. And anything that is not an OLED does have some bleeding, just the science of an LED no matter the panel style that is currently available, specifically in this direct comparison.
But I do understand your reservation, totally empathize with the notion, just wanted to offer some objection, seems like you for things figured out for yourself so you won’t be led to an impulse buy.
Max Luv
C2 or Alienware?
Alienware. I own both these options you’re asking me about.
Could you play some other games on them something that's going to stand out fighting games ain't doing it no justice
There are ZERO fighting games in this or the prior comparison video?
Oof that black crush on the G8.
Exactly bro, wild.
ISO on the camera is super low. This is why you cant see any blooming on the G8. The whole video is sus af, making the G8 look better than it is.
@@almir-lq9qw sus? Lol man earth is a wild place. Need to sell that stuff you smoking.
@@AllAboutTKK open up the iso to normal setting then. I owned the G8 and it is a blooming mess.
@@almir-lq9qw you owned I own, difference.
Also, never said it wasn’t. For you to say this video is suspect is mind blowing. The context of this video isn’t to sell the G8.
And you can’t open the ISO dude, if you full blown it you can’t make out image on either of these things, come on man I have more than 600 videos many with highest echelon TVs I shoot them all the time.
can't beat oled
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 Mini LED is much better than the Alienware QD-OLED! In my opinion.. I returned my Alienware QD-OLED the same day that i purchased it and went with the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 32-Inch 4k 165hz display instead and couldn't be happier.. For what ever reason OLED monitors are just not as good as OLED TVS.. With that said the only other display that beats the Samsung Neos would be LG C2/C3.. But the LG is a TV and is 42 inches for the smallest sized model that LG makes and they can only do 120hz.. But as far as monitors go, these Samsung Odyssey Neos are truly special, though, for sure and will get you as close as you possibly can get to an OLED.. They also can be had for great prices now in 2024.
Much better is an exaggeration!
Let’s just look at the facts, both are 32”, both are curved. Financially has to be the only option, and you went with option 2 on the Samsung end so you don’t even get the higher refresh rate for 1080p esports. But I do get that you said “in your opinion”, on paper no person is ever going to go for that option over this QD-OLED option unless it’s a financially conscious choice.
But as an owner of both those you’re speaking on and the C2, I have to offer the counter opinion of my own which is that the Alienware is the greatest monitor I’ve owned.
100% bro
yeah lmao wtf was bro smoking comparing a Neo G7 to an QD-OLED lmaoo
He took me out at G7, not even the 8…
I think you mean Contrast Enhancer not Colour.
Nope, color not contrast, I said it correctly.
Nice comparison. Alienware is better, especially in those dark scenes.
Amen.
You should calibrate both for better results but yeah mate
Too much time consumed with these two. Time for me to move on. Time to start just enjoying the AW.
@AllAboutTKK I understand! Just hard giving honest and reliable opinions to people interested in buying either of these without calibration settings done correctly. Enjoy the monitors ! Hope what I said was fair.
@@suyt4063 what you said was very fair. Thank you.
@AllAboutTKK yeah of course and don't worry I don't know how to calibrate well either I just ask a friend thanks for reviewing monitors glad I found the channel
@@suyt4063 thank you too.
The difference in dark scenes in insane... Oled forever.
Actual facts.
Too bad the AW has guaranteed scratches on the screen.
Buy the MSI model if you're going to get one.
@OC.TINYYY not a scratch on mine!
@@AllAboutTKKAll of them get scratches. Guarantee you have micro scratches when using a flash light in a dark room at various angles.
I went through 2 of them already. Same issue as the DW/DWF as well. Shit packaging.
Not really surprising as it's a plastic gloss screen coating.
I have OCD. So for most people, ignorance is bliss.
MSI & Samsung both have peel off protectors w/ their gloss QD-OLEDS monitors.
@OC.TINYYY ok ok. Very well articulated. You are an underrated viewer!
Much appreciated. I will certainly go in and validate micro scratches. Currently working on my review of the monitor and I will be sure to add findings Wednesday when video post.
Thank you. As I always say, Max Luv.
samsung colours arent nice
alienware for 1200eur or neo g7 for 500eur?
Alienware.
@@AllAboutTKK thank you, have you enabled vrr in your tests? How bad is vrr flicker?
@SuperSlokky yes and seems fine to me, it’s a daily driver now no real complaints.
