How is the VRR (GSync)? I really want an OLED monitor but I cannot deal with flickering. RTings claim this monitor has pretty bad VRR flicker. Has it been fixed now?
I did not experience it during the test with the games, but yeah, VRR Flickering is damn annoying. My Brother has this OLED Monitor and he hasn't complained anything about flickering to me.
@@lcadigitalmedia Rtings and Viktor mentioned it peaked to almost 1200 nits at a 2% window in the "High peak brightness" setting. Also do you think it's worth upgrading from a VA panel with 8 edge lit dimming zones? Don't wanna drop $1000 on a monitor only to find OLED HDR is overrated lol.
@@msnehamukherjee interesting. from a VA panel, it's night and day; IPS is generally regarding as the best in color quality for LED (over VA), and your VA panel only has 8 edge lit dimming zones, that's nowhere near the top FALD monitors that has about 1000 dimming zones of micro-LED, which means you're getting lots of Blooms, or shining around the object being lit. Now imagine, every pixel turns can turn on/off independently, which means on a 1440p (2560 x 1440), that's 3,686,400 pixels of the dimming zones; so you get unlimited contrast. You can compare the OLED panel over the LED panel in a pitch black room, sort'a like a movie theatre and you will see it night and day, Not to mention the input latency since it's per pixel, it's 1ms; but another thing to check as well is the max brightness of every OLED panel, this one is 600nits, the alienware is 1000nits but that's on the other side of the spectrum. in short, OLED will spoil you of every other LED (Regular) monitor once you try it.
@@lcadigitalmedia Thank you for giving a perspective. I do have an AMOLED phone with Dolby Vision so I'm aware of the contrast ratio it gives in a dark room. I just don't know how this carries over to the monitor lol. One final question. I have two options to choose from currently, this LG one and the other being a Samsung Odyssey G6 OLED which is a QD OLED monitor. Which one would you choose personally if HDR wow factor is the biggest priority?
99% of OLED Screens have Auto Brightness Limiter (ABL) to preserve and minimize burn-ins. So basically, at 100% white screen, it will only use about 20-30% nits or somewhere around 150-200 nits, while at 10% - 20% white screen, it will use 100% nix (max capacity). I dont have the exact numbers for this Monitor but it will be like that
I have one of these and I love it, my only issue rn is finding the best HDR settings, it has RGB lights built into which was an amazing surprise, and it plays 4K 120FPS for Series X consoles. Even though it’s a 1440p display.
I used to be very OCD about the HDR Settings, and you would want to use a colorimeter to calibrate them even more but honestly, the colors are already great compared to the regular LED Panels even for SDR.
@@lcadigitalmedia talking about series x … i have a 1440p monitor but i’m not able to put 4k resolution.. how is this guy able to put 4k resolution on xbox series x if the monitor is only 1440p????
Hey, You're right. Haven't gotten the best settings to capture games using streamlabs for some reason. I'm working on getting the best/optimized settings though. Thanks for your feedback

Can I have the time I spent watching this video back?
Why your box is printed but everyone else's is basic cardboard?
who's everyone else's box? LOL.
that would be weird if it's just basic cardboard for an $800-$900 monitor
@@lcadigitalmedia I am also surprised, by now I have seen many videos on it all have cardboard box. Search on youtube!
I believe its because the version with basic cardboard box is the 27GS95QE-B and the version this guy tested does not have the "B" at the end
@@kfs439 That's interesting. I didn't even know that. Any reason you think why they'd just use a basic box for the "-B" Version?
@@lcadigitalmedia no clue, maybe something to lower the cost, like the cardboard box idk
So is the HDR good? Is it impactful? At high peak brightness setting it does peak at 1200 nits in a 2% window.
The HDR is not bad, it's sufficient; but I don't recall peaking at 1200 nits on the LG 27GS95QE, the Alienware does.

Does the brightness LOCK when HDR is turned on? Or is it still adjustable... i just dont HDR that locks at 100 if that makes sense lol

How can he reach 4k while is not 4k? And is it possible to reach 4k on pc ?
@@neosaber4 what he meant was that it can render 4k from the GPU but then it will downscale to the Monitor's resolution

@@neosaber4 I dont know about the XBOX settings, but on PC, you can enable Super Resolution on AMD Radeon, and the equivalent to Nvidia.
Do you have to do pixer refreshing with this one?
good question.
Every OLED will have a pixel refresh but they automatically do it when the screen is off.
You don't have to do it manually
When you want to turn it ogf yes it will ask you but not mid gaming
@@relmex432hz4 it would be damn annoying if it asks you mid game lol.
Do you know what subpixel layout this monitor uses? Thanks
that's a good question. l Believe it's RWBG.
Rwbg
la qualité de votre capture est vraiment trop mauvaise pour ce faire une idée......
Hey, You're right. Haven't gotten the best settings to capture games using streamlabs for some reason.

Thanks for your feedback
@@lcadigitalmedia pas de soucis ^^ continuez comme ça vous trouverez les bon paramètres a force , bonne continuation
