Enjoy amazing visuals. You welcome.
Great settings for the monitor bro I had pretty much the same settings. I just lowered the color from 35 to 25 and change the shadow detail from zero to -5 looks amazing. These are the kind of comments we need really helps out a lot.
Its great to see they brought over the settings they use for their OLED TVs. I prefer using active tone mapping for example as it gives a much higher APL. This works best when using the light sensor so you can set it to max brightness for daytime viewing and lower brightness for the evening. A shame this monitor doesn't have the light sensor though.
@@Sarigueijo There are no integrated speakers. Firmware updates are listed here - www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/?model=N0002912&modelCode=LS27DG602SNXZA.
No plans to do so. It does have a lot of similarities with features and some performance characteristics, but they've bundled in their (frankly infuriating) 'Smart TV' / Tizen rubbish on that model so the OSD layout is much less intuitive.
Just watched you 3225DF review, i am so so sold , when can we expect the review for this one as i really want to hear your thoughts on this 360hz panel in general. I personally and a lot of people i know are torn about this 360hz2k and the 3225df , or any 4k240 monitors with the same panel in general. Thank for the great content, the best review ive seen of 3225df by far.
@@PCMonitors Thanks for doing a review! Do you have another monitor to test it in a dual monitor setup? I've read about problems in that configuration (two monitors) when the screen goes to sleep.
@@AlphaSteam2 I didn't have any issues with that, but it could be system specific. Or because people aren't aware of the setting shown right at the end of the video, perhaps. There's also an 'Auto Source Switch+' setting which could possibly cause some delay or confusion with that, but I keep that disabled (which is the default state) and manually select input.
Hi, did you notice the pixel shift while using? I have a PG27AQDM and the pixel shift is set to medium but I never notice it. Did you find this model have more obvious pixel shift algorithm then other models?
No, I didn't find it obtrusive. I've used many OLED models and this one wasn't overly aggressive with its pixel shifting in my view. Obviously individual sensitivity varies and I'm quite used to such behaviour now, but there have been models I've used and actively noticed the behaviour a bit too much so I've had to disable or change the setting. This wasn't one of them (just as well, as you can't).
What's the text readability/desktop usage like on this monitor? That's the one concern I have with OLED monitors that's putting me off the idea of getting one.
No, I found it perfectly comfortable as with most OLEDs. But I don't specifically use or require "low brightness". The brightness regulation is the same as other OLEDs - small cyclical brightness dips, nowhere near as dramatic as PWM. Most people find them perfectly comfortable (especially for higher refresh rates), even those sensitive to traditional PWM.
Which panel of settings are you referring to? If you're unfamiliar with Samsung's control system it might be worth referring to the user guide, page 15 onwards - downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202406/20240623033632001/BN81-25880A-00_WUG_G60SD_NA%20LATIN_ENG_240405.0.pdf.
@@PCMonitors He is referring to the blue one at the start. I dont even know how to get to it as well, I have a G6 My settings UI are so different, its not so technical as yours. How did you access the settings panel at the start of the video? Blue ones
@@sahilm483 This is a G60SD OLED - is that what you have? What you're referring to is just the main menu. Which is laid out and accessed as shown in the manual. So it's accessed by pressing the joystick in and then pressing it up (the icon looks like a menu and is used on many monitors).
When the monitor is in sdr it goes to 8 bit color depth and I doesnt allow me to change it to 10bit. I can only change it of i use nvidia color settings. What do i do? Aldo is it a good idea to get icc profile from rtings reviews website?
Doesn't make a difference what you select unless you're a content creator and can actually use 10-bit for SDR. The vast majority of SDR content is 8-bit so it won't matter - if you select 10-bit it won't do you any harm, though. We provide ICC profiles in our review - feel free to use them if you wish and keep them if you prefer how things look. Most people would be happy not using them and they can potentially make some undesirable changes due to inter-unit variation. They're most useful for people who need the most accurate colour output and wish to use the gamut mapping for colour-aware applications. But if colour accuracy is important you'd get much better results profiling your own monitor with your own colorimeter or similar device.
Does this monitor support remote input? How are you able to toggle through the menu settings without using the joystick on the back? It does not feel very sturdy. Thanks
The OSD joystick is the only control method. There's often a bit of wobble or 'give' when using a joystick at the rear of the monitor and this one isn't an exception. It isn't too bad, actually.
@@PCMonitors Thank you for the reply and thank you for taking the time to make this video. I really appreciate it. My monitor looks great with these settings. So you think the joystick will hold up over time? There’s a review Samsung’s site where they state their joystick cracked after a month.
@@Jake-ke8lh It's a similar design to many monitors in that respect, so I don't see why it wouldn't last well. Once set up you shouldn't have to use it very often anyway, which will minimise wear.
Hi, I have a problem with this monitor. When I turn off the monitor from the menu using the button on the back, the core lights on the back continue to light up for a long time (about 20 minutes) and when I press the button on the back again to make sure the monitor is off, the menu opens after a short while without the Samsung logo, then I close it again and the same thing happens. Have you experienced this, is this normal? Does standby mode prevent damage to the screen? Because as you know, leaving the screen on for a long time on oled monitors can cause permanent damage to the screen. Do you turn off your oled g6 device from the menu after turning off your computer or do you leave it in standby mode by itself?
Also when I alt-tab in games, the display port text appears on the top left of the screen and goes away after a few seconds. Would it be better to connect via HDMI 2.1 instead of via display port? I would be very happy if you could help me, thanks in advance.
@@keremkerem967 You can just let the screen go into standby, it's not a problem. It will also run its 'cleaning' cycle when in standby. If you're worried you could even use the setting I talk about at the end of the Best Settings video (ruclips.net/video/nnUaBOfnuVs/видео.htmlsi=u0Nc9uPI5kDe6T1X&t=840 ). You can try running games in 'borlerless full screen' rather than true fullscreen to avoid this behaviour, but it might be related to DSC. HDMI 2.1 and DP both use it so I can't see the cable making a difference there.
@@woahiwhiffed It's still going to go into a standby state regardless of those settings. If they're disabled and you don't turn the monitor 'off' with the power button, it will remain on standby but won't enter the deepest standby state (equivalent to 'off' using power button).
I have an annoying problem with this monitor. When I set 240 hz often the screen goes black and in the left corner of the screen compares the display port popup like I've lost signal. I tried changing cables, modify options, but nothing... the problem persist! What it can be? My GPU is a Nvidia RTX 2070 Super.
Why are you setting it to 240Hz rather than 360Hz? I certainly didn't have this issue with my RTX 3090. So your monitor being faulty or your GPU having some issues for some reason.
@@PCMonitors Because if I set it ad 360 hz the screen goes black every 5 seconds. Actually only at 120 hz I don't have this issue. I will try test with a friend's gpu, if the problem persist I'll turn it back the monitor.
@pcmonitors what would you recommend for setting on this monitor if reviewed something similar.LG 39GS95QE-B.AUS 39" 2K WQHD. I like the setting you use.
I have this monitor i returned... monitor is constant shifting and it is not full screen and i can not use HDR RTX ai anymore and adaptive sync is off does not work anymore... When i use climate control on than HDR RTX ai and adaptive sync works again. Monitor is overheating. Now i wait for money back or another one, if they find its defective. IF its not than i get money back. g7 works normal no problem.
@MakeSh00t Sounds like you might've received a dud. It has been very warm for the UK recently and I've had no issues with the screen overheating. The "shifting around" is a standard OLED behaviour, an image retention mitigation measure called pixel shifting. You have no control over the algorithm on this one though, which is a shame.
Right... And this is an OLED, so there are no response time settings. Per the review it is very snappy and that's not something you should worry about.

No, it has a correctly balanced white point. You can't gague how the screen looks in person on a video because that depends on the camera, room lighting, video processing and your own screen. Cameras often pick up stronger than usual tints for Quantum Dot based light sources due to their broad spectral output with strong energy peaks.
I don't think it does, it is the best matte coating I've ever seen, maybe still slightly worse than the default semi glossy coating but despite that this monitor is still definitely better than the aw2725df that I have

That's an ASUS setting. Per the review the monitor always shows very little ABL behaviour under SDR (so it's as if 'Uniform Brightness') is always on.

No - and that isn't the case for the majority of monitors at all. I've used plenty of QD-OLED models which lack such a setting.
