      ​@@perspectiveandthinking4k and UHD are the same descriptor. Ultra High Definition was literally designed to be the "mainstream" term for 4k resolution panels.
      Also, the bleeding edge is ALWAYS a bad value for the money. But you don't make progress and make cheaper versions of the better things without first making the better things.
      Plus, plenty of people can tell a difference between 1440p and 4k at 32 inches. I could probably easily do it, given I'm incredibly used to my 1440p panels.

      8k n more is completely useless for the most people n always will be. Live with it and it looks like it's increasingly distancing people like you from reality the "better" your monitor gets.
      Even if the mainstream use it synonym (because mainstream mostly just repeats things and knows nothing by itself): 4k n UHD are technically not the same.

      Who said anything about 8k? That's not what any of this was about in the first place.
      You are wrong on that account too about UHD. UHD encompasses both 4k and 8k tech. UHD was also originally introduced alongside the rise of 4k TVs, so yes, you don't know what you're talking about. Nowhere did I say that 8k was practical or meaningful.
      You seem to have your own opinions contrary to most people that play games regarding new advanced technology. That's fine, I won't comment on that. You're free to have opinions, even if they're dumb

    32inch at 4k is actually one of the perfect monitor size for me, the reason why it took me this long to get one (I got the MSI version of this same panel) is that there isn't any good option that don't compromised in one way or another, its either 1440p high refresh, 4k at 60hz or 4k high refresh with poor contrast/IPS glow/black light bleed, there are MiniLed version of the same spec but a lot of them don't tune LD well or cost a fortune(3k usd and up). Honestly I really glad that OLED 32inch 4k 240hz is a thing, its great and pretty much perfect for me.

    I definitely prefer the semi-gloss just because the colors pop out and aren't "washed out" a bit due to the anti-glare coating and unless you're playing with direct sunlight or some super bright conditions, the semi-gloss looks so much better. Even looking back at the first monitor I've bought, which was an Acer 60hz 1080P IPS panel that was glossy, the colors look soo good and I kinda miss that after using matte displays for the last 2-3 monitors I've purchased.

    But that doesn't mean the tech or the that the future isn't bright, it is, and so is OLED. It reminds me of the good old days of CRT. Gaming, production, all on same package... HDR... Some of the features have been left out on games because it didn't seem plausible to have it ever come to monitors for affordable price.

  • @IIIDzire
    @IIIDzire 5 месяцев назад +5

    This year was finally the time I would consider upgrading my PG279Q since the only upgrade I would find interesting is if it was OLED and had a significant Hz increase.
    Was unsure to decide between OLED 4K 240 or OLED 2K 360. I decided to go with the 2K 360 since I find 32 inch too big and mainly play competitive shooters. Also I personally don’t really care for 4K that much and prefer smoothness over resolution so 4K didn’t really make sense. Also my 3080 probably is better suited for 2K as well.
    I ordered the Alienware AW2725DF as soon as it became available in my country (last Friday). I’ve only had the time yet to test it for about 2 hours, but I’m loving it so far.
    The picture quality definitely is an upgrade and the jump from 165 to 360 Hz might not be as insane as 60 to 144, it’s definitely noticeable.
    I remember your video where you tested the 540 Hz monitor and said “it felt like looking through a window”. That is exactly what I feel like using this monitor.
    Anyway I’m excited to further test it and go back to some old games I enjoyed to see how it compares :)

    Glossy screen is literally better than matte for me, there is no question of "matte is better because..." glossy doesn't restrict your perception of colors, it's more pop, sharper, it's more pleasing to the eye to focus the text, etc.
    The important question is : how do you not see the difference between the two?
    I absolutely don't understand your point of view.

    What you were saying at 6:50 is true. It was already confirmed (by LG) that the WOLED panels with the feature to switch between 4K 240hz and 1080P 480hz WILL have an easy-to-implement cropping feature so you can set the screen size to 25", 27" and 32".
    So, while I *really* like the semi-gloss and great Adobe RGB colors on the QD-OLED, I want to see the new WOLED in person first. Plus, waiting a few more months for the WOLED monitor releases would cause the QD-OLED monitors to be around $200 less in price as they will no longer be labeled as "the latest and greatest" in marketing terminology.

    I've been waiting for 240hz OLED 4k monitors for almost 2 years now. Ever since I got my Samsung G9, I've known that this is basically the monitor I would be moving to next. For what these monitors are capable of, the $1,300 price point is surprisingly reasonable. Considering a 4090 will struggle to max this monitor out in some games, the price seems like a steal. Plus, with the amount of competition, and the fact that there are multiple alternatives that are $100 cheaper, I expect that the price will start dropping pretty quickly. I'm incredibly excited to pick one of these up. Or possibly one of the competing monitors. I'll wait for some more reviews and comparisons before finally upgrading.

      4K is kind of lame. Only good for 4K movies. Ironically, 240Hz on 4K actually looks worse than 240Hz on 2K, because since the pixels are smaller on 4K, the speed of things at that refresh rate don't travel physically as far in the same timeframe, making 4K at 240Hz actually less smooth because it has to skip more pixels for the pixel changes to travel the same distance. That's even if both screens are the same size, and it gets even worse if the 4K screen is even bigger than the 2K screen.

    I've had 4 OLED screens, Samsung, LG and the latest is the 240hz 27-inch from Asus. One thing is constant with OLED screens: burn-in. It's literally the best screen technology in terms of color, fluidity, just OLED screens are extremely pleasant out of the box, but buying an OLED screen means buying a screen that will only last a few months, and that's the problem with tests that aren't done long enough over time. Burn-in is caused by a static image that lasts too long, and there are technologies included in the screens and techniques of use to avoid the problem, but they prove to be totally useless. The simple fact that game ATHs are static can cause the problem, and I've had it on literally every screen I've owned. I strongly advise against buying an OLED screen, I don't think these screens should even be named as GAMING. If you play several hours a day, your screens won't last long. I've since switched to a Samsung VA panel for solo gaming and a TN Zowie panel for competitive, I'm really disappointed with OLED screens I hope these problems will be solved one day.

      If you're burning every OLED out you own in 3-4 months you'd literally have to be the unluckiest human being alive. A literal walking anomaly. I've got multiple OLED's, only a single one got burn in, and it was from a known generation of bad hardware, and was ironically, my least used panel. I've got WOLEDS now with 1000's of hours of gaming/windows mixed usage and no burn in. And shit, I don't even look after it.

Also mini led technology is something I look forward to as well and maybe compete with oled but as of now it's technology is relatively young and is also expensive.

    it is the best explanation ever people complain that Oled needs to be glossy and it is huge difference vs anti glare... it is only placebo.

    Amazing except for the few of us who play mmorpgs, and have static hotbars on the screen for a thousand hours at a time.

    As an esport lunatic with crappy eyesight who has gamed on 32" 1080p for the past 5+ years, the experience isn't bad for me. Being able to do both 480hz @ 1080p and 240hz @ 4k will be actual endgame for me. Only things to look forward to after this batch of monitors (4k 240hz oled 32" herd) is more brightness, better burn in protection.
    Enjoyable succinct review.

    I always thought Optimum was a man of culture, and playing BF1 in 2024 further confirms that.

    I'd bet it looks utterly fantastic, but since I got screwed with an OLED TV that began to show signs of burn-in after only 2 years, I'm skeptical, esp considering QD-OLED is showing signs of early death already. Burn-in protections were built into my TV as well, but it didn't help.

    Did you have any flickering with G-Sync enabled? Like in darker (gray) areas in games or other applications.
    Did you have VRR flickering at all?
    Are there any problems with the asus Rog Swift PG32UCDM?
    I have the Alienware AW3225QF and it has G-Sync flickering in darker areas and loadingscreens.
    Is there anyone who have the same problem with the AW monitor?
    The Dell-Support wasn't really helpful and said I should ask the Nvidia-Support, I did that and they (Nvidia) have done everything possible to help, but the flickering is still there.
    The Dell-Support said, it's no hardware-issue and an exchange is not possible.
    So I'm going to return it, because I don't want to pay 1100 bucks for a monitor that can't do G-Sync without problems.
    (G-Sync is important for me because it eliminates screentearing and it makes the games much smoother!)
    So I'm thinking about buying the Asus one but I don't want to have the same issue...
    Thanks for any help!
