I think you're using Gamer 2 which has a blue tint. Gamer 2 is brighter but the colors are worse you should use gamer 1 even if it is darker. Brightness is not everything
Even though the asus is brighter I prefer the lg becuz of hdmi 2.1 and better burn in protection features., LG for me, has Been my favorite monitor brand haven’t had any issues with them and will continue to be my favorite monitor brand for quite sometime, I’m not an asus hater, asus is a great brand, it’s just for me i prefer LG.
The performance and colours are impeccable. I have never seen such rich colours on any display. Thanks for the review! I am really enjoying this monitor. I wish more games, such as Apex would include HUD transparency/ sizing settings
@@swa99a10 Nah, there is no need for concern when it comes to input lag. I use both VRR on and off and it's fine. Though both monitors (this and my other one that is G7) both flicker in menus with VRR on
I did purchase the LG and the brightness was an issue at times. But really the anti glare coating was just way to much. I prefer the matte finish but it was overkill on that monitor, almost a grainy look at times. Other than that it was great. I know they use the same panel though. But that Asus brightness is impressive! Thank you for the comparison review!
First of all thank you for this side by side comparison. I have two questions 1) Did you update the firmware on the LG monitor? 2) Is the ASUS worth €400 more than the LG? In NL the LG is €899 vs ASUS €1300. Currenlty I have an old IPS monitor (Asus PG279Q) and I wonder if I realy need the ASUS for that €400+. I would just be as happy with the LG I think? The brightness is my main concern. Some people complain about the LG being to dim
Hi! Yes the LG is on the newest firmware as of this date. Also the Asus is worth it because of the nicer warmer (less blue) picture with the added brightness. I find that destiny 2 on the LG is too low in brightness vs the asus which is just right for oled. Thats just my opinion as I like bright monitors. Bright enough to overpower semi ambient lighting. If you are picky or a hardcore gamer you will notice it. Maybe get the asus on a sale?
I got the LG and have it on gamer 1. Its bright enough for me but a future update would be nice. I've seen too many Asus quality control issues on reddit and that put me off on it. Also no HDMI 2.1? Cmon now. Great comparison video as always!
@@DisplayReality Can confirm. I've tested both of these extensively, and the HDR colors on the Asus are way off. Beige / tan colors are pink, and yellows show a green tint.
Issue with gamer 2 on lg is colors r extremly over saturated. I dont mind some over saturation but its like massive over saturation. But its so much brighter then gamer 1
reduce the saturation within the driver. As little as 48 instead of 50 will do. Especially over HDMI you can use a 12bit signal so you won't lose colour depth. That way it still is not colour accurate, but looks very good to my eye.
Asus is roughly 200bucks more expensive in my country Germany. And i think both are top tier monitors, though from all the reviews Asus wins slightly it seems. I would buy Asus but the 2.1 HDMI missing idk hard to justify. Or we get 27 4k OLED soon in future...
Im sure we will be seeing an mla 2 or something bew from LG on new oleds. The Asus should be the standard tho as LG own monitors push blue for a higher brightness look. At least they should all give us standard 3yr oled burn in warranty.
Lol i impulse bought the LG thinking it was actually this monitor. I realized after I bought it that it wasn’t but might not return it to Best Buy since I have a ps5 and this has hdmi 2.1 which I didn’t even expect. The LG is also $150 cheaper which is nice.
That’s my worry. I got a G8 OLED during is flash price drop at $999 and just want to make sure I’m spending that money on the monitor that’s best for me. I love the G8 but have been loving the reviews on this monitor as well. Both have pros, I don’t “need” widescreen but it has been nice. I don’t “need” 240hz but it’s definitely nice to have as well. I’m worried I’ll notice a difference in picture quality if I return my G8 and get the ASUS.
great video,do you have some informations of new qd monitors? should i buy this one or wait for the next generaton of monitors? i only want 27inc monitors
For triple monitor or the 49" OLED G9 or 57"Neo G9 (this would be best as no line or anything in between like 2 32"s) but after seeing 32:9... a 57" Neo G9 is the Ultimate! But oled g9 49" just went down in price. I just posted on my community post
I only have a 42" c2 as the c3 is the same as c3 other then new processor. I dont have the others... but I will get a new oled / qd oled 32" from lg and samsung once released for sure..
Could be... but I tend to get new monitor every yr so I personally wouldnt see that burn in for example. But you are right the harder you drive a panel I am sure issues may arise faster..
I bought the LG 27gr95e for playing ps5 ff16 and the result is very dark and difficult to play , my eyes are painful playing this game, is it somthing wrong with my setting? 😅
It depends on what you need. Glossy is best overal for quality but non glossy or matte looks very good in a room with lots of light. I actually more matte monitors than glossy due to alot of ambient lighting. .
I just got the lg for 863.00 and waiting for the asus 1078.00 so far i like the lg just waiting to see what the asus looks like .and i have been playing 120hz 4k on the xbx series x with the L.G is that up sampling?
The qd oleds looks richer. Everything else is about the same. The best is qd oled but from seeing the lg 42" oled and this asus. W oled is still very good and unless you have 2 side by side mostly ppl wont notice. Unless you super picky
I am using the PG27AQDM since yesterday, overall its crazy fast, bright and it has a really nice design.. But thsi Anti Glare Coating is just too much. In bright scenes i see this weird grainy "corn" like looking stuff. I used a c2 42" oled before and the image quality was just much better. They should not release these monitors with a matte finish.
I got rid of my LG 27 Oled monitor cause I had a C1 right besides my desk. C1 is better overall, even for reading docs. I hated the oled monitor when I had to work, text clarity just sucks. Thinking about if I should buy the Asus or just wait.
I select either gamer 1 or 2. DAS mode is needed for the lowest input lag. 100 brightness and 65 contrast for the lowest able possible while still looking good. Black equalizer 55 or 60. Sharpness 40-50. . Gamma mode 2. Smart energy off. All this can be applied for hdr too if possible. Vivid mode pushs too much blue does not look too good
I have not compared them yet but this is brighter in sdr. And the G8 oled is tied on brightness with peak on and the oled g9 is the brightest with peak on, on sdr modes.
I had the AW3423DW and now currently use the LG 45" WOLED, the QD-OLED panel gets brighter and has slightly more vibrant colors, but that's really the only difference. You can't go wrong with either one, I would demo both if you can and go with whichever you prefer.
Not that I have noticed. Some qd oleds depending on firmware could affect some things like response time. I belive the AW3423DW just got a new update that improves response time

@@DisplayReality I'm talking about CPC and ABL, CPC makes the corners like 25% darker and can only be turned off with a special remote on the LG monitor and needs to be turned off everytime you start the monitor. ABL can't be turned off on either screen unless you set it to a dark mode, it's acceptable on the Asus model though.

Setting this monitor up this weekend,and would love to know where you can find the motion.backgrounds? That car looked amazing!
They are in wallpaper engine. I just typed car or mclaren etc. They should poo up. Make sure its in 4k or 1440p
like you said, At 1K price point Asus should have included HDMI 2.1. They F'ed up big time with that so i went with LG instead
Hi Viktor, that looks awesome! Also 04:05 ... 🤣
😁
I like the extra brightness from the asus, but thay comes with a price, an increased chance of getting burn-ins due to every pixel being brighter.
Im sure we will be seeing an mla 2 or something bew from LG on new oleds. The Asus should be the standard tho as LG own monitors push blue for a higher brightness look. At least they should all give us standard 3yr oled burn in warranty.

can you please tell me when we gonna see a 32"monitor 4k oled 144hz+ hit the market ??
We may hear something in early sept at the next display conference.
I heard it's gona come on early 2024
lg's whites are like grey in my opinion .. asus looks like the winner here but the LG monitor is beautiful for sure
They do look greyish vs the Asus. The Asus clearly has more headroom on the brightness side
Did you do any brightness measurements w/ certain window sizes in HDR?
Curious to how much of an improvement it is against the AQDM & GR OLEDS.
Using this monitor after having experienced QD-OLED was a piss poor experience. The anti glare is also very noticeable.

Please do a tear list what u think is best from monitors u tryed

that is cool, me too, i change monitor every year, but thats why i said for some people it could be a better option
configure the lowest brightness on the asus and the problem is over
Game 2 on LG is 8200k. It is why you get the blue tint.
Game 1 is less bright but it is accurate (6500k)
On vivid its crazy blue. Too much to really enjoy.
Hi viktor, what do you do with your old monitors that you don't use anymore?
I keep them lol. Its hard parting with them as when I use or used them I like certain things about each.
Do you notice text fingering ?
Hell on the Ryu images the white looks grayish on the LG but white on the Asus.
both monitors are amazing just pick the one you like
The latest Asus firmware has increased the brightness by a huge amount.
I bought the LG 27gr95e for playing ps5 ff16 and the result is very dark and difficult to play , my eyes are painful playing this game, is it somthing wrong with my setting? 😅
Can u not just turn up the brightness
Thats why thr GS is almost night and day difference. The GR is low in brightness
Which is better, glossy or non-glossy?
It depends on what you need. Glossy is best overal for quality but non glossy or matte looks very good in a room with lots of light. I actually more matte monitors than glossy due to alot of ambient lighting. .
