#LG #OLED LG 27GR95QE Vs Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED vs Mini LED
Hi Friends Welcome to Viktors Reality:
today I have my review on the LG 27GR95QE-B Gaming Monitor. I cover real world scenarios from gaming brightness to how light may effect you viewing experience on this anti glare coated monitor.Welcome to the Worlds first 240hz OLED gaming monitor the LG Ultragear 27GR95QE.
LG 27GR95QE-B 240hz OLED Gaming Monitor Review LG Ultragear 2023
Brightness - 6/10
Display Test HDR showed: 603 Max 150
2 Ambient Light Testers Showed the following:
970nits @3% / 300+nits @50% / 170nits @100%
*Comparable to an Odyssey G70A or Gigabyte M28U. Both if these monitors have a overall SDR brightness of around 300-350nits
Display Image Quality - 8/10
Sharpness & Speed are two words that showcase the power of OLED vs any other technology. Even see here in this review. The LG looked clearer and sharper albiet due to the smaller size vs the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8.
Matte Screen - 7/10
This screen is reflective. Not Ultra Matte like the Odyssey Neo G8 This monitor looks wet vs the Neo G8's dry paper look. This problem is when there is alot of light reflecting it lowers the percieved brightness and picture impact alot. This should be mainly used in a Light controlled room. While having a Oily / Vasaline coating look...The clarity is still seen even by this issue.
Gaming - 7/10
Gaming have been amazing. The clarity of OLED at 27" really is a step above the rest. While a tad more brightness would have made this a much more enjoyable experience as I love brightness impact still the clarity cant be overstated. This is the clearest monitor in motion I have ever seen.

The Future has arrived! OLED display Technology finally on our awesome monitors. LG 27GR95QE OLED 240hz Monitor Review. I hope this video helps you make an awesome buying decison! :)
Great vid, thanks. My decision is between this and the Dell 34'. Can't wait for your vs video between em!
Great review, May pick one up, my only issue is I will never play games in Vivid mode as this mode always increases input lag, u need to be in game mode to get best input results.
I thought you were going to show if on pc if you’re able to switch it to 4k as well.
Edit. Lmao I’ve been waiting for this video for that info since your last video.
Do you leave HDR mode on in Windows or does everything look washed out?
?
I don't understand the need for so much brightness. Am I missing something here? I literally turn down the brightness on every monitor I have ever owned down to around 30-50%. Otherwise it makes my eyes bleed.
I do agree that I rarely run with max brightness. However, remember that TV's and monitors lose their brightness over time. Generally, a monitor's useful life is considered based on how many hours until its half its brightness as it originally was.
So if a monitor comes already fairly dim on day 1, this will be the brightest it ever will be. Additionally, I believe the likelihood of burn-in on OLED's increases with higher % brightness settings.
Ultimately, a monitor that comes fairly dim just means it's less flexible on your lighting situation and needs to drive the pixels harder, possibly reducing the lifespan.
I don’t understand the need for your opinion, everyone has different needs & specifications
@@crism1912 I don’t understand the need for your comment too, as you said different people got different needs. Why don’t respect others opinion.😂
100% on this display is probably very close to the 30-40% you're used to on traditional LCD panels
DAMN! That LG looks smooth asf... and I'm watching this video from RUclips and I can see that, I wonder how much better it would look in person.
Hello Victor…great job on the video 👍🏾. I have been using this monitor for a week now, connected via displayport 1.4 with my RTX 3080TI gpu Windows 11 PC and HDMI 2.1 ultra speed cable to Xbox series X. I play video games such as Apex Legends, Dead by Daylight, etc. and also stream these games. Love the Oled color, the crisp video, brightness, and no lag.
There are some settings adjustments required in both monitor and PC.
Lg monitor: Set energy savings off and select either Gamer 2 or Vivid.
PC: For RTX gpu, open Nvidia control panel and select set up G-sync. Enable settings for the selected display. Change resolution PC to 2560x1440 (native) and refresh rate 240Hz. If you are using other gpu, go to display settings and turn on HDR setting. Next select advance display settings. Select the correct display and verify refresh rate set to 240Hz. If you are using windows 11, download Windows HDR Calibration from Microsoft store. Launch app, set minimum luminance to zero, maximum luminance to 1500 and maximum full frame luminance test to 1500.
Thx friend... I tried testing with Display Test HDR the official Vesa win app. Mine shows in HDR 603nits max and 150 min. Can you check to see what yours says. I think the data is off. Its the official vesa windows apl call display test hdr. I have got a couple of friends who also bought this and they report the exact numbers. Thats not possible as there is no way 5 monitors will have the exact numbers due to panel variance.
Yessir! Been waiting for this one . Thank you, stay awesome
G8 Neo all day amazing monitor
Fullscreen brightness needs a major step up on the sucessor to the 27GR95QE.
Agreed! but I am still hyped asf for this monitor to arrive.
would love to see how it handles difficult to spot (dark backgrounds) enemies in games like tarkov and PUBG, versus regular high brightness IPS
you will always sport enemies better with ips panels...cuz they dont have real blacks and never will. So with oled you either have to raise the black levels (brightness slider) ingame or play with this shadow setting in the menu of the monitor.
The 27" LG OLED doesn't handle anything bright or white well at all. There's also adaptive brightness that keeps making my games fluctuate. I'm returning mine.
Thank you for the video, you helped me decide on ordering this beast. It was between the Zowie XL2566k and this OLED. I'll be coming from a Viewsonic X270 elite (1080p). I'm a huge stickler for motion clarity and this looks clear enough for me to drop my strobed (BFI) monitor. I tryhard at Planetside 2 so the ridiculously low input lag will be aweome. The picture quality difference, I can already tell, will be MIND-BLOWING! Thanks for reading my blog post.
That zowie is top tier also. But I just love this oled clarity.
Right away your review seems more fair than just about every other review covering this LG & Samsung
Great review. I really want to see more comparisons of its pixel response time and motion clarity compared to not only other OLEDs, but LCD panels (and even a CRT if possible).
I feel like the complaints about brightness are from people misunderstanding OLED. They hear how OLED gives incredible contrast and think that it must be accomplished through brute force of brightness, but really it’s the lack of brightness in the shadows and darker tones that make OLED’s HDR performance so spectacular. Using this display in a bright office environment, while totally usable, is like judging an off-road vehicle by its MPG on the highway. OLEDs are meant to be used in dim or dark environments, and people have gotten used to playing/working in bright environments at home because edge-lit LCD does not benefit from dark environments. Actually, the darker the room, the worse LCD panels often look.
I actually have a aw2723df 280hz vs this in my new vid for later today. Not a vs but we can see the brightness and speed opinion of mine inbthe vid. But I will work on a proper vs vid soon. Thx
@@DisplayReality awesome, you got a new subscriber. I love watching display tech channels and I really enjoyed how you presented your thoughts and info.
i connected my ps5 to this monitor and it looks cloudy. The picture looks great in your video...am I missing something?
To me this is an almost perfect monitor except I'm somewhat used to my workflow on a 32" 4K and wouldn't really want to change from that. The brightness isn't a problem for me as my room doesn't tend to get direct sunlight so it never really gets too bright. If anything, my current display doesn't go dim enough when all other room lights are turned off. Anyway, a 32-34" 4K version of this would be absolutely perfect for me.
Apparently LG is NOT covering Burn in on this panel. Jus something to think about
Thank you Vik!
Been having this monitor since last week, been using my ps5 and series x, so far I love it !
Is it still good?
Does this monitor accept a 4K 120hz signal for PC gaming?
Yes
Nice video, Im going to buy this monitor for testing as well looks great.
Yea bro its nice but its not like our Neo G8s..
@@DisplayReality Is not as bright?, Im so used to the G8 brightness that when i go to my C1 I feel that Im gling blind lol.
@@DisplayReality g8 is better?
I thought you were going to show if on pc if you’re able to switch it to 4k as well. I’ve been waiting for this video for that info since your last video bc you said you were going to verify it.
Now then nice to see your still going strong on your videos anyway you have me hooked once again on this new monitor LG like you no I’m old School and haven’t a clue on the settings I’ve got a PS5 and only play sports sims any chance you could send me your settings as you have helped me out in the past thanks 🙏 once again JJ London
Great video! Thank you for making interesting decision in buying monitors!
Appreciate the work you put into these videos! Did you manage to test the input lag? Considering it's an OLED and also 240hz, I imagine it's probably the lowest input lag for a monitor!
Its instant. While I personally didnt not feel any different between DAS on or off. but with it On you can see in the video it is milliseconds faster.
@@DisplayReality could u compare it with the gq950 or is there no comparison 😭😭
Users of the LG OLED are saying it’s just too dim for 1000 bucks. Maybe the second generation will be worth getting
Yes thanks for this video getting it today 😎🔥
Another great review thanks viktor
My biggest issue with this monitor is that LG has yet to provide a proper Win10/Win11 driver which means that HDR isn't performing correctly with a PC (due to the lack of HDR ICC profile). SDR does look nice once dialed in due to the deep blacks and vivid colors. I have it set to around 70% brightness to reach 120 nits for regular desktop/office use but it just lacks the "pop" that you get from OLED TVs even in a dark room
You use this monitor for desktop/office use without being concerned of burn in?
I ask because I am currently considering to purchase this monitor for gaming and office work.
ofc...a TV is much bigger so there will be overall more brightness (its not cd/m2 without a reason)
@@thomasschatton2920 I would buy this as a secondary monitor only for gaming instead of dual purpose.
@@thomasschatton2920 I have an lg cx and do a lot of gaming on it and haven't experienced any burn in if that helps
Hard agree. HDR through PC looks HORRIBLE, what a shame. Thankfully SDR still looks beautiful and stunning. PS5 HDR works fantastic as well.
Great video, you are doing an awesome job.
Are there any fan cooling the monitor on heavy use? Or does it have a passive cooling setup?
I have not heard noise yet but ill look into it. Thx
Great video man. I can't wait til mine comes. I run my current monitors, Acer xb271hu, at 25% brightness so I think I'll be fine with the LG. Quick question, in HDR can you adjust white balance?
Im sure you will love it if thats how you keep your brightness. I will check but I know vivid is a set preset. Thats what I tried in HDR.
Has yours shipped out ? I’m still waiting for mine to ship
Mines been on “processing” stage for the longest 😵💫😵💫😵💫
HI VIktor great review ! , how is the height of the monitor stand ? I saw in someone else's review they said it actually raises to a good height that you don't actually have to tilt you head down and it's actually eye level ??
Got my pre-order in a while back, and saved a few hundred bucks on it as well! I'm really looking forward to getting this in early April! I'm used to OLED gaming, so I'm curious how I will adjust to the "matte coating" on this monitor. Great review as well, quality stuff!
The coating is no problem friend. I have no issues. Just looks like a reg semi matte coating. Its only with it off that u see that different oily look. No isssue again in gameplay etc
@@DisplayReality Sounds fantastic! If everything pans out, I will have the monitor on my desk in about 2 weeks time or so! Stoked!
At 0.25 playback even when recorded with the camera it's clear how the OLED response is faster
These next few weeks/months are going to be great
I thought you were going to show if on pc if you’re able to switch it to 4k as well.
You said in the last video in the comments that this was one thing you were going to look into.
I am working on many videos friend. I also will have side by sides so we can test the clarity of this oled.
Yes you can do 4k120 on pc. At least mine can.
Thanks for the review, so tired of people bashing on the brightness when they don't have the right settings enabled or if they're coming from big 4k tvs. Some of us are upgrading from budget to midrange IPS monitors.
This monitor is the most picky monitor I have used. Its still a tie between vivid and gamer1. As sometimes for movies vivid is brighter while gaming gamer1 is brighter. Still an amazing image
@@DisplayReality I just got mines today and I’m still figuring out the settings. Brightness is just about right for me with the right settings but the anti glare coating was a little more noticeable than I thought but I think I can get used to it.
@@DisplayReality also one thing I noticed about this monitor is that it dims the display on some white pages like google even with the smart power savings off.
It's normal that people are critical when a monitor is priced that high.
I have oled TV 55 in my room and its dope. Whole new level of picture. But can't imagine oled as the main screen for working in apps with static elements for example photoshop, touchdesigner and so on (screen burnings)
I wouldnt edit on this. Just for gaming. I too am still worried about burn in
Probably staying with Inzone M9. What do you think, Victor? You had both
Try it on Win 11, many say the ABL gets disabled and peak brightness is much better on win 11 with AUTO HDR Enabled
You serious? Wow I need to see that. That sounds so cool. I know microsoft has been updating win 11 auto hdr etc.. thx for the info
Viktor, did you not have 4k upscale issue? This itself is a massive let down and huge miss by LG. Plus no driver yet
4k upscale issue? I have not seen that yet. What should I look out for? Thx
Would you prefer thé alienware qd oled or this lg oled ?
QD OLED Alienware has more impact and I really do like that ultrawide
HI Viktor!
Im thinking about getting the Asus PG32UQX as my main monitor as Im all about brigthness. Especially SDR. I dont really use HDR. Although currently im owning the QN90A 55 inch version. My question is, would you say the Q90NA 55' has more noticeable SDR brightness than the Asus PG32UQX as it is a TV? Which one would you say is brighter? Because I might just stick with my QN90A.
Thanks for all the helpful videos!
they get about the same but the samsung. it will look better cause contrast. i own this same tv and love it so much i bought the beautful neo g8
Si todo está muy bien, el problema es que no sabemos si todos estos paneles oled se acabarán quemando o no. Yo tengo amoled en mi galaxy, y ya le he tenido que cambiar la pantalla porque el logo de un canal de tv se me quedó grabado. Como pantalla todos sabemos que oled es lo mejor que existe. Un saludo.
I want to see a versus video vs the Samsung NEO G8.
I finally bought this baby today! I am coming from Asus Rog Swift PG278Q 1440p 144hz monitor to this one. I am not sure what the whole issue is here. People crying about anti-glare coating and stuff. This is a gaming monitor, not a TV. Get over it, lol. My Asus looked amazing, being an 8bit TN panel with an anti-glare coating. It was considered one of the best gaming monitors of its time. Even now, it is probably one of the best 1440p 144hz monitors out there. The Asus has 350cm/m2, and I am a dark room gamer and had to lower the brightness to 45 percent. Otherwise, my eyes would bleed, lol. 200cm/m2 is plenty for dark room gaming and probably for medium lite rooms. I never had an issue with Asus at 45 percent brightness with the sun directly shining from window behind when I felt like opening the curtains.
Will there be an qd-oled version of same spec qhd 240hz monitor from Samsung? They put glossy finish on odyssey oled G8 and incoming oled G9, maybe we should wait and see...
Great review, Vik. Good job.
Is it much more responsive than the G7 Odyssey? I was thinking of getting the Samsung G7 because I like the curvature and the 32" very immersive screen, and I think it's not the same on the LG 27" flat. I play a bit of everything, but mainly FPS. they cost me $100 difference, what's my advice?
Awesome monitor. But it would be perfect if it was a 4k monitor. I still prefer my neo g8 I just can’t go back to 1440p after experiencing 4k. And I’m able to hit 4k 240fps plus on my 4090. I think I get more out of my 4090 with the neo g8.
Hey! I am using this monitor currently as a gaming/productivity monitor for working from home. I have my gaming settings down, but with a windows computer. What settings do you reccomend, mainly white screens/text reading.
If you have it set to gamer1 lower contrast to 60-65. The contrast is what makes the abl appear.
Man I can’t wait until they drop the 4K version.
Yea thats prob going to be a bit brighter too.
Until DP 2.0 becomes more standardized, you're out of luck. For now, you would have to settle with 4K/120Hz, and manufacturers are pulling out from making those screens for now (TCL showed a 32" prototype at CES a few weeks ago).
@@DisplayReality man i have been scouring the internet lookin for the perfect monitor turns out its not here yet. And I’m def not settling for no 1440p because thats what i got rn. Hopefully they drop it asap so i can pair it with my 4080 and see how it turns out.
If the 2k is $1000 I can only imagine how much the 4k Version is going to be.
@@Minarreal why would you say this? There is already a 4k 240hz monitor and all the new and cards have DisplayPort 2.0. Plus I have owned a 4k 144hz for YEARS. There are a few 4k monitors above 144hz. 4k oled will almost certainly be next year especially with the 50 series gpus coming out that year 4090 is already a 4k destroyer
@ViktorsReality Have you been able to get the Input Lag numbers?
Hi Sir, thank you for your needed informative unbiased reviews. I was thinking for people that want to avoid the burn in nightmare for desktop use do you think the g8 at 1500 dollars is too much as it is non oled? Also you mentioned the clarity of the lg, how can 1440p compete with 4k in that aspect even in a smaller screen size? Thanks.
I'll tell you this: burn-in is not an "if" but a "when." Every OLED display will *_eventually_* suffer from burn-in. If you're not comfortable replacing your display in 3-4 years, I would still avoid OLED (at least for a few more generations)
Actually I got the Neo G8 for 1099 when it first came out. But even tho they are both very fast. OLED just has some kind of look that really looks liquid hence looks instant in motion. Besides the technical advatages you just need to experience it for a while then try to go back then you would notice. Ill try to get a good video on this topic soon now I can make it since this 27 is smaller.
I had the G7 32" And i fell in love and now this proves how good the G8 is!
The G8 is amazing
Pls do a detailed comparison of mini led g8 with this
Great review, monitor looks amazing, im tempted to buy it.
hey as a neo g8 owner will you recommend the oled g8 over neo g8 as primary monitor? I already have the neo g8 but really excited about the oled monitors. I primarily game and browse internet
Please test the brightness of automatic HDR under WIN11 as soon as possible, and hope you can compare LG（27gr95qe） VS ROG（pg27aqdm） in the future😄
I just updated to win 11. As many were saying hdr is better on 11 vs 10.
@@DisplayReality Would you say W11 is worth it for HDR?
Top 3 monitor reviewer on the whole platform! Gj bro
Is there Black Frame Insertion available? I could game on 1NIT brightness if it has CRT level motion clarity. I have C1, and to me 120hz oled is still not good enough unless I turn the BFI to "High" mode (maximum length the diode is turned off), but with the High duration it is really almost no smearing, very good clarity.
Hello great video I have a 4090 with the 32" odyssey just bought the 27 oled lg I don't know it's alittle to small what would you get if you had a 4090 but not bigger that 32 and no wide monitors I have 15 days to return the lg thank you
Could you do a video (or tell me)what settings you would set to if using an Xbox series X? Thanks
Viktor which one would you buy for ps5 and pc gaming the alienware aw3423dwf or this Lg?
They should Drop a qd OLED 240hz
I cant wait for that!!
Hi, this model have the same pwm function for brightness like the Dell DW??
Thanks in advance
Is there anyway you could compare it to the s95b as well as the aw3423dw just built my first PC and I have a c1 in my living room and I love it but idk what would work better for a desk
can you test Cs:go flashes and Valorant flashes . Thank you
Awesome 😍
@Viktors Reality What are your NEO G8 OSD settings?
Would you recommend an upgrade over the gp950? Gaming on console only (ps5 & series x)
that's what interests me too. I bought the GP950 1.5 years ago. use it with XSX, PS5 & PC. I also have an LG Oled TV and the picture looks even better there in my opinion.
@Viktor: what do you say about the upgrade from GP950 to the oled?
Setting to vivid mode will disable the low latency DAS mode so i wouldnt advise vivid for gaming.
waiting for the Lg vs Alienware video
Working on it. Im getting some new trailers togther
Love this review! Question: So if you wanted to, you could set it to 4k, at 120hz? Like truly? Because I'd likely sacrifice some hz for that resolution.
You should be able to but it won't be true 4k because this monitor only physically has pixels in a 2560 x 1440 grid. Downsampling is a thing though so through scaling magic downsampling a 4k signal to 1440p will look better than native 1440p on this monitor, but perform slower accordingly.
No. All it does is send a 4K signal and downsamples to 1440p.
@Craftymang sounds not worth it lol. Especially since it's hard enough for a GPU to reach the fps to utilize 240hz. Thank you for the answer on that. I pre-ordered it anyways, because damn it's stunning.
Hey mate what’s better out of these two and LG C2 42?
So basically the monitor picture quality changes based on on your environment?
this LG is on sale right now for 799. i think i might order it at that price.
Hey victor so can you clarify the sdr gamer one setting and vivid setting on what type of games I should switch in between. I was a bit confused. I’m thinking about getting this monitor and want to know what setting are best for the type of games player. Thank you for your help
The gamer 1 is best for games while vivid is best for movies. At least while switching between content it looked best with these. Ill trybm to show thisbm soon.
hello for exclusive use ps5 which between the two ?
Do you have a QD-OLED to compare with? AW3423dw's picture quality, vibrance and brightness seems to be better then W-OLED.
The only advantage this LG seems to have is response time so only competitive fps players would benefit owning this over QD.
Maan I'm so torn between The G7/G8 mini-led and the ASUS PG27AQDM. I love the OLED's contrast and response time but I read a lot on my screen and I view static content. It's a tough choice.
To bad for the matte finish, will wait for the asus one. But since that uses the same panel, wont keep my hopes up?
Yea same panel and maybe even a tougher coating. They say Micro texture coating. But we shall see maybe they will changing it. It looked like this OLED at ces 2023.. we shall see.
the LG has a green tint you can clearly see once next to the Samsung panel 8:00, this is a problem with all LG WOLEDs. I expect this to be completely blown away by the Alienware in your next comparison.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with the community. Would you say this is a good monitor for competitive gaming? Thank you in advance for your time.
This OLED is the clearest I have seen just like the 42" C2 OLED. Especially at 240hz its a win for a competative person. Tho I dont play competative I do like seeing the clarity.
The LG is not as clear in motion as the Zowie 1080p DyAc monitors with the backlight strobing turned on. My 240hz DyAc monitor doesn't show blur on the UFO at 960 pixels per second where the OLED shows blur anywhere above 240, but the LG OLED does not suffer from the overdrive/strobe artifacts of an LCD either. If you are comfortable gaming at 1080p, the Zowie 360hz is definitely better in motion. If you want to play a larger variety of games and especially if you want to play at 1440p, I think the LG OLED is superior to every other display on the market. It's as good as you're going to get for competitive games without using a Zowie, and I don't regret switching to OLED.
I just ordered the 45inch lg oled. Im coming from a samsung g7 240hz. Samsung joystick on the bottom is starting to go bad :/
We will see if its worth it…
Hey Vik another monitor boy oh boy.
🤣
omg bf2042 looks amazing ! what gpu are you using ?
Could you do a comparison video of these 2 both in HDR and display them side by side please?
Sure.. sdr vs hdr. Butvi did one on an qd oled alienware. But the video was sdr content. I need to find cinematics on both formats
Can you please post your Neo G8 custom picture settings, thanks
What setting would you recommend for wz2 ?
Nice videooo!! I'm loving my neo g8 so far, I picked it up for just 820€ 💥💥 Love your videos
Hey friend... how you been? Awesome price on your neo G8. Sometimes I switch monitors on a monthly bases. after I made this video I find that I really missed my Neo G8.. :)
How crisp or easy to read text on the LG compared to the M28U ? I have an M28U arriving tomorrow but I've been questioning if I made the right choice.
Some text looks fine on the LG, but a lot of the text looks horrible and there's definitely a subpixel issue there. When the text looks bad it's like chromatic aberration where you can see one color bleeding over the edges of the letters.
Should be a noticeable difference the m28u should be much better text wise
Lota of ppl have issues with the qd oled while I dont. But Im not really or I mean the fringe does not bother me. I can see it but barely.
@@DisplayReality I have the fringe on the LG OLED, not the Samsung one. I was not really expecting it.
I'm confused about the "accepting a 4k signal at 120hz". Does that mean it will actually display the image at 4k when using a 120hz speed? Is it a down/up sampling type thing? Anyways, thanks for the review!
Its for consoles, I believe. Either one or both consoles don't output a 1440p signal. It's 4k or 1080p out ONLY. The monitor's pixels are a 2560x1440 grid so it can't display 3840 x 2160 (4K) natively. The image displayed will be downsampled.
@@Craftymang Thanks!
in depth ghosting test is what matters to most "Real Gamers" other stuff not much. so yes i would like to see that thanks.
I will be vs this on a side angle once my 4080 comes in. To show that clarity that I can easily see
so the street fighter games that get flashs ...the light gets dimmed on LG 27GR95QE ,right? , so is there no solution for this ? cause i game on old fighting games and this monitor is so convinced me up until you mentioned about the flashes in street fighter alpha 3 / street fighter 2 and street fighter 3, i m so bummed by this now
I dont know if its my phone display or not, when you are playing battlefield, i can see kinda smear, like an oil canvas painting in every scene where the bright sky on, is that the matte coating doing? Looking forward for the video against dell's QD 👍
what is your opinion on 1440p 240hz oled vs a 4k 165hz such as the neo g7? which would you say looks better? i personally don't play very many fast games but love my 110hz. my mind tells me 4k has more pixels per inch and better display but all i hear is oled talk from a lot of people in my circle.
I honestly feel this is clearer. This feels instant while the Neo feel super fast. Its different. Ill have a new video up soon.
Do you like the HDR experience on the LG or the Samsung more if you had to pick?
Samsung is better. Way Brighter... I will show more of these monitors I wanted to include the 32GQ950 and AW but it would have been a 40min vid lol
@@DisplayReality OK. Is the aw3423dw also better in hdr?
Ok so I have a 4090 GPU. Which monitor would you suggest getting? Currently I’m using a LG C1 but I want a smaller and better refresh rate screen for competitive gaming.
Ideal solution would be that you get both. A 27'' OLED monitor for competitive gaming and desktop usage and a larger LG C1 for for 4K gaming on the big screen.
Not an OLED but the Asus PG279AQN is a beast of a monitor for competitive gaming or if you wanna wait for the 500hz stuff to come out you can’t go wrong either
This interpixel grid is killing me, i see squares very well. It will be annoying in Word and browsing. No vaseline, no vaseline ! We will wait Asus :)
Ill look into it more. I havent really read up much on the pixel format thx
Now then I’ve just ordered the monitor LG for £750 😂would appreciate it if you could give me some setting’s as I play on the PS5 and watch tv 📺 RUclips a lot plus I’m a golf ⛳️ nut 🥜 and old School thank you 🙏 once again and I hope life is treating you kind JJ
Matte finish is a terrible idea, especially on oled and when we have aw3423dw with a king glossy finish.
Dont waste your time on this model, as long until manufacturer understands that glossy coating i a MUST, they can leave this monitor for themselves.
I do believe this coating actually makes it dimmer. I have never seen a screen look dimm when lights are on.
@@DisplayReality ofc it does. If there is a "problem" with a glossy coating - you can turn off the light, close your window/door etc, in other words - control your light sources, which is easy.
If you have unnecessary matte hard coating - the only way to fix that is to take this monitor to the garbage bin...and get a glossy one.
Vivid mode turns off LG DAS feature and that will introduce input lag. Just so you know. I really wanted to like this monitor, but it's a no for me :(
