    The difference between the coatings seemed the biggest difference that a user would notice, and i think it deserved more time. Also how are you defining 'bright room'? Office lighting? Full sunlight at noon? I found this unhelpful, but I still like you. I would have loved if you had put them in 'moms basement','typical home','typical office','the surface of the sun' scenarios with a POV camera and played a video or a game. Because I really want to buy one of these, and this video just left me with more questions!

    every time you turn on the g8, the settings bar pops up, when you close it, another pop up appears telling you how to open the settings bar again.. incredibly annoying. how can a product reach market like this? its baffling. I had to use colorControl to fake a certain controller input (the included minimalist controller doesnt have the required buttons) to open the hidden service menu, from there i disabled the settings bar auto popup.. every time a new firmware update is installed i have to do it again...

    The Samsung has a God awful feature where a pop up appears telling you that you can use the remote to change inputs every time you turn on the monitor. Every. Single. Time. It's undismissable and impossible to get rid of. Just more of Samsung's awful bloatware (not including their awful tizenos "feature"). Buyer beware

    Hey Nicholas, big fan of your work. Just had a quick question - how big of a deal is the Asus’s higher input lag for multiplayer FPS gaming on consoles? Given how similar these monitors are, should that push buyers towards the Samsung over the Asus?

    I just recently purchased the samsung g80sd on the right there and I have to say I hate it. The colors and OLED are super nice, don't get me wrong, but the whites are SUPER dull and gray. Browsing white background websites and google docs and the like is atrocious, even with all the tweaking you can do with the monitor, nvidia control panel and display settings for windows 11. At a $1000 USD price point you think you would get the best of both worlds? I'm really picky and accustomed to the super white backgrounds and bright scenes. Even if its artificial and not "accurate". I don't like when sunny days in games look like its raining and cloudy. I will be returning this and trying out this ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM.

    I’ve been comparing both at home as I got them both on sale. The Samsung is a couple hundred dollars cheaper in Canada when on sale. The Samsung isn’t bad but for some reason I just keep getting drawn to the Asus. I didn’t think I was a pro gloss screen person but something about it just seems better, even the way the colours present. I love that I can use the type c to connect my MacBook or charge my phone. Not a fan of the Asus stand but it is what it is. The Samsung build quality just isn’t there, the ports on the back press into the system when you connect cables and the unit gets super hot. Tizen is horrible on the monitor, even worse than on their tvs (also returned a S95D for a LG G4 partly for this reason). I’m tired of menus popping up on the Samsung, and the loading screen that hangs anytime the screen changes the signal source and resolution. When it gets up and running everything is fine, the colours seem over saturated but some people may prefer that. The speakers being built in are also handy. But I just can’t stand the menu system and it just seems so clunky having to grab the remote to back out of a pop up is incredibly annoying.
    The Asus is just an all around better unit, I wish these monitors were as bright as some of the flagship oled TVs, I get that they can’t… I digress.
    I don’t notice a lag input difference between the two at all. Reading reviews I thought the Asus would be horrible for my consoles but I’ve been playing cod and Wukong without any issues.
    Sometimes the numbers on paper, are just that… numbers on paper and it doesn’t really convert to any real life difference.
    For instance the Samsung S95D and LG G4 TVs are supposed to have similar input lag and smoothness… but the Samsung felt a tad quicker than the LG despite what the specs and number readouts posted online and in reviews.
    I digress again.
    Would I pay full price for these? No.
    I think Asus is the top dog for QOLED AND WOLED and their heatsink setup.
    I was close to checking out a comparable LG but I don’t like that it used a fan and is missing a type c port.
    I’m tempted to check out the other Asus ucdp(?) but I have zero use for the dual mode.

    VRR flicker is the biggest deal breaker for me. I would already have the Asus otherwise. I just can't bear that. People say it doesn't matter if you have a high-end computer because it just happens when your frame rate fluctuates. Come on!!! It's a 240 Hz 4k monitor. Of course the frame rate will fluctuate unless you have a 4090 and cap it to 60 fps. I play with a 4080 paired with a Ryzen 9800X3D and the frame rate always fluctuate in newest games especially the lowest 1%.

Some weird artifacts while gaming and the menu is so dump that is sometimes turnning things off makes them on afk stil the image is amazing and I could at some point replicate that on my g80sd Smasung on the other hand has this remot control which is a cool feature if you like to miss around with things image is very nice, you can do a lot of tunning on the Samsung, hdr is very nice still Dolby is better on the Asus colors on the Samsung are more pronounced* Samsung is smother though with less Flicker and no flicker what is so ever when vvr is on *one major problem when you switch from hdr to sdr on both monitors you have this crazy faint line right in the middle of the screen splitting the screen to two halves it goes immediatley away on the asus but on the Samsung it does not go until you switch input or miss with high contrast did some tests the samsung has a vertical banding on orange balck images I do not know if it is an issue with all unites or just mine. Can someone please test this I really love the g80sd more when it come to the practical side and white looks white on the Samsung on the asus more milky like white.

      let's be real, it's already been 3 generations of oled monitor panels, and many more generations of TV oleds. It's no longer such a big issue if you don't use it for 8 hours straight and mainly for office work. For gaming it's really not a big issue. Rcently bought an oled (the asus mentioned here) and overall the enjoyment from oled is a lot bigger than i believed it would be. Plus 3 years of burn in protection, so in 2 years if it becomes bad, you can replace it with a new one free of charge and enjoy a few more years of life. If you plan on using the same monitor for more than 7 years, then yes, don't buy an oled, buy a Mini-LED one instead
