"I'm going to convince you NOT to get an OLED display!.... $999" Goal achieved. Convinced.

This is crazy to me, I understand this is a video designed shine light on the pros and cons of these monitors but coming from a 27in 144hz 1080p monitor to the alienware 34in QD OLED I literally couldn't imagine a better monitor and I'm never looking back. It was worth every dollar. Personally I think you got a monitor addiction.

Been on a LG Oled 48inch 120hz tv for 2 years now. Has been the most substantial upgrade to my pc so far. It’s the HDR experience that brought the 4K screen to lifelike images. I could never go back to anything smaller.

I use a Samsung qe55s95b for my 4090 gaming pc. What settings do you use on NCP? I use vsyn ON and frame generator on in game seems to be really smooth in most games.

I just bought the samsung Odyssey OLED. 4 days till it shows up, we'll see if you're right or not.

So is an IPS or nano IPS 4K any good comparing to OLED ?

Obviously 4K would be a nice option to have but that would cost more and more to run it at 240z as well so for a lot of people 2k 240z is perfect at this size

So in your opinion, what is the best 4k curved (widescreen or not) monitor between 27-34" you can buy today? If price isn't a factor.

Im using a 42 c2 as a monitor is it worth upgrading to this?

i would recommend the samsung qn90b for gaming purposes as well without the drawbacks of oled you mentioned. i believe it comes in a 43".

I'm surprised you didn't mention the MSI ge67hx or blade 15. They both have 240hz 360 nits OLED panel. I would have liked your opinion on this panel

As someone who just bought and upgraded from a regular IPS 1440p monitor to an Alienware AW3423DWF last week.... too late. Rabbit hole opened, now considering GPU upgrade for going to ultrawide lol. I love the change from 27" 16:9 to 34" 21:9 though.

Don't worry... Monitor with matte coating is no go zone for me. Now I'm using 55" LG OLED TV for my PC ;) 120hz, gsync.. For SP player? It's enough Once oled, forever oled 😍

Do oled overclock well? My Vizio led tv went to 90hz from 60hz.

With Hisense's unless looking so awesome I think I may just get one of those. They just need to make a smaller screen. The u8h is awesome and suppose to be gatherin getting better this year.

I got the "Alienware 27 360Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW2725DF" and I do have to say it's an absolute no go for me with the colour fringing. I can see it especially clear when using a small crosshair in cs2 and increasing my saturation (which I like to do to make the colours pop more). And it just buggs the hell outta me. Aside from that it's a great monitor. But I will return it and get an IPS instead. Hope this helps some, as I wasn't aware it would be that noticable. cheers

the most chill intro i've seen you do in the last two years. i use the 42" C2 and it has ruined every other display for me

The LG C2 is the way to go. It has everything I want. oled, 4K, 120hz. Nothing else on the market has those specs at an affordable price. The only downside is that its a little big if youre using it mainly for a gaming monitor, I wish they made a smaller one. I mostly play single player games so 120hz is more than enough for me.

PS5 only. 27” LG OLED Monitor or 42” C2?

LG C2 42" got it sale at 760€ (in Finland) for PC-gaming. 10/10 and it was cheaper than new 1440p tiny 27" oled monitors. Never going back to 27" monitors.

Hey man, is the 27 inch LG less blue than the C2 Evo 42 inch? When set my C2 to warm 50 it still is too blueish like a filter over the image (blueish maybe with a little bit green?) and lighting is too yellowish.

You might be interested that the screen films were originally developed to cover the old LED message boards in the late 80s. The old bumpy LED boards nothing like today. They came in a range of flatness/dullness and blackout. You are one of the few to realize it just diffuses the reflections.

There's no way you actually talk in this voice.

I have the LG 27in OLED... not sure where the complaint about brightness comes from because I moved from an old TN BenQ Zowie 144 27in and this LG has been worth every penny to me.

I bought a LG C1 OLED 55” one year ago, now all other monitors looks low-specs for me!! Im using it with PS5, now buying a LG 34” Curved for my PC with VA Panel. That would be amazing if LG makes any 32~38” OLED curved monitor :,(

I still use a PG27UQ personally. I've been waiting for a 4K OLED panel that's glossy and at least 32 inches or smaller. Until then I'll stick with the PG27UQ. It's not like it's awful, it's just not nearly as good as that would be.

I've got the C1 with 65 inches. Can't imagine a better screen in my life and don't need another!

What do you think of Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 34-inch monitor?

Can't go back to 16:9 after using curved 21:9 3440x1440 (LG 34GN850-B). It's a bit demanding on GPUs, but for productivity, it's great. So much so I'm getting a Dell 3422DWG for my backup machine. OLED? Too expensive, and burn-in if you do a lot of desktop work. Not necessary for my line of work, although I'm wondering if they make giant OLED TVs in 21:9....

i am going to hold out till holiday deal for a 4k oled high refresh rate monitor around 32 inches would be nice. 42 at the absolute most i would have to wall mount anything over 32 inches id say. but i will not spend over 700 on a oled though. i have 2x 4k 60hz monitors i will use as a triple set up with the oled in the middle for gaming is my plan. def holding out till holiday season 2023 though. they will be alot cheaper and way more choices for sure.

OLED for reading, work? Your advice?

I bought a 55" LG CX last year for $1,000. I have it in the living room with a RTX 3090 PC build and a PS5 hooked up to it. It's looks amazing!

the 42 inch LG c2 is the best option, even if you upscale from 1080p. ABL is a problem thou. The Asus 42 inch OLED would be better since it has a heatsink, but that is matt and far more expensive. Kinda fun that no company actually made the OLED we all want.

120hz on an OLED is about equal to 165-185 on a LCD. It's completely fine. Also the C1 I have gets uncomfortably bright in SDR. 115-125 nits with abl off is perfect (35-40 brightness).

I have an 83 inch LG G2 in my living room, along with a PerListen 5.2 surround system. I only use my desk for games that absolutely demand a keyboard, OLED plus great sound is just too great.

I recently decided to swap over to a 42" LG C2 Evo from my single 27" 4k and two 27" 1440p monitors, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. I have the C2 mounted on the wall just above my desk, and it is hands down the best display I've ever had. I was able to get it on sale last month for $899, and since I live in Montana, I didn't have to pay any sales tax 🙂 For the price, I thought it was the absolute best option because everything else was way more expensive and didn't look as good. I don't play any FPS games that would merit higher than 120hz refresh rate, so this tv as a display has been absolutely perfect!

Loving my 48 inch OLED from LG Ultragear, 139 Hz and the HDR effect is actually brighter then HDR. lol

I just want a 32" curved oled Gsync monitor is that so much to ask?

How much time have you put in your oled have you gotten any screen burning on your monitor I'm surprised you didn't mention any of that 🤔 is it working good on burn In?

I will wait for more OLED gaming monitors to become more mainstream and price are better. Great video man.

Really great advice, thank you!!!

This is exactly what I'm doing rn lmao catering my whole setup to a sony a95l qdoled tv I'll do 4k at 144 hz hopefully

I hate how people are becoming FPS whores in online gaming. I'm on a 60hz productiviy monitor with (I think) 8ms response time and still find myself in the 80th percentile of CoD players in terms of game score and game win/loss ratio. Whatever advantage you get from a ~20ms difference is literally 1-2 frames when running at 60fps; and I'm sorry less than 5% of gamers can measure a 1-2 frame timing difference in real time without their attention being directed to it. Even those that can see a difference, would admit that 1) just because you percieve the difference it only means that it is *possible* that one display showed information sooner than the other not that it absolutely will; and 2) even if the information was shown 20ms sooner, it is not enough of a difference to decide a successful or failure response at their competitive level in most cases and definitely not at the average 'competitive/try-hard' gamer level. No, the reason you're getting headshot with precision is because the other player's mouse + keyboard control is better than yours and their ability to predict exceeds yours. They could be on a 60hz display situation and you on 360hz with lower system latency and network latency; you'd still be fucked. And lastly, so many people out there running around with network latency that kind of make their system latency reductions irrelevant. People don't realize that netcode means you're always looking at an interpolation of where a player is and not actual. Having better system latency can't hurt, but instead of spending $800 more on display + graphics card upgrades, spend it on better network gear and internet service (fiber). More than half of the time I play CoD; I'm running on 1ms ping -- no joke. Not ever fluctuating off of it. 360hz with 60ms ping isn't going to beat me at 60hz with 1ms ping. Tips: don't buy 'gaming' routers, learn how to set up a real router + switches + wifi access points, and game on ethernet always. Also, turn off any stupid fucking software that pretends it can optimize your gaming latency. That shit slows you down for sure, and for me damn near broke FFXIV network entirely. Don't even buy into those "we route your connection through our data centers and it's faster" either. It's a rare situation normal internet routing protocols don't actually find and use the best route.

I wasnt able to grasp how good oled was until i got one to see for myself. If you like hdr, an oled will make sdr content look hrd. Even watching this video i know what it should really look like. It is magical, it pushes your limits of perception, vibrance and clarity to the max. It is as if the blacks are magnetic, absorbing visable light like a black hole. Its not something i can express in words

Im on LG C2 and i had 14 day to return ,and to see a 4k diference i think you need a more 34" monitor and is 4096/2160 rez and a great hdr .I play space games +other and image is megatronic ^^.I loveit

With such a low PPI on the 45 inch, only being 1440p, it’s just not going to look good on static screens. It’s also 1700 bucks, LG is MAD

How do I block a channel this guy is unbearable

So what looks better IPS or OLED?

I dont quite understand where the market is. A 32' OLED seems like it would be the obvious next step for gaming monitor customers but nobody is making them. There are no options for 4K OLED below 42" except for one 27" which is too small IMHO and it is well over $1200. Many people go with a 34" 1440p instead but that seems like a waste of pixels to me, I'd rather have a higher resolution than an extra two inches.

Waiting for a 32" 4k OLED with a high refresh rate, before I upgrade. I will also need to upgrade my GPU also , yah what I have will game at 4k but it's a struggle to get 120 fps

Very good input and review, eventually there will be a 4k oled 27 or 32 down the line

what 4k game can u play at 200 fps ????

I have a 55 inch LG g1 and i regret That i’ve bought it so much. I’ve just asked 3 Times for RM and the Displays it’s simply pink on the bottom on all of the 3 screens. I can see it clearly on light colors as white, as much on dark colors as grey or black. It’s a nightmare

I can't look at a monitor over 24 inches that is not curved, I've had curved for 6+ years now and I went from curved to a flat panel and literally looked like the monitor was bent backwards, hurt my eyes and returned it the next day.

I love Oled but thats because I replace it ever 2 years since burn-in and screen brightness fading becomes too much for me after that time.

Bought a C2 when it dropped to $800. I don't have a good enough GPU to get over 120 fps yet anyway.

I have a LG 27'' ultra gear a C1 and a C2. they are extremely bright so I dont know if he is just lying or what. My only complaint is VRR flicker. on the 27" which can be turned off

I have a budget 1080p 144hz. The black levels are so bad I can barely play Minecraft at night… Definitely getting the Alienware QD oled. Maybe I should wait for the 2nd gen one?

I was ruined a few years ago when I bought a lg48cx my first oled experience for my pc setup. Now I own 2 48 lc cx, 55 inch s95b, 55 inch a95k, and 65 inch c2. I will be upgrading my Samsung g9 neo super ultrawide to the oled version soon lol

i have a 55 in LG c2 that i use as my "gaming monitor/TV" and i love it. i have my screen mounted on the wall on the far side of my bedroom and its perfect for my use case. the input lag is ultra low and you cant beat the screen quality.

I was glad when IPS panels finally became fast. But what I have missed from monitors is good black, even as a kid. Not just that it's black, but LCD has such an unpleasant sheen.

too late, i just bought an alienware ultrawide DW, no regrets, it looks amazing haha

i'm using 4k since my 1080ti and im still surprised that after so many years it's still too hard to run 4k

I have the ASUS ROG 42" OLED paired with 4090 and it is fire.

What about the Dough glossy 27” oled monitor? @graphically challenged

It's physics. To drive them LEDs brighter, they'll need to dissipate more heat. Even with placing them on an aluminium plate to improve cooling, there's a limit to how many one can put on a square mm. That's why you get a fairly mediocre DPI, which then translates into larger displays.

I wonder if the PG27AQDM which is using an LG panel will have a less visible matte coating

waitig for 4k 32in oled with normal pixel layout ideally with display 2.0 and 240 hz

Just 2 weeks ago upgraded from 32'' VA to 38'' nano-IPS , yes there are less deep black levels , but in color reproduction and fast moving picture IPS are great. I was considering to get OLED for PC wich delivers best possble picture and HDR, no questions there , but there wasnt any options in size 38'' and looks like wont be at least in 2023. So gonna have to wait , to 38'' OLED matte or till micro-LED matte curved comes out.

i can agree since the oled screen on my phone has the taskbar n keyboard baked into the screen + i love my acer Predator XB3 27" IPS 1080p FHD 280Hz G-Sync Gaming Monitor way better

Honestly im totally happy with 27" 1440p options, EXCEPT there still is no glossy model. I am one of those people who thinks matte finish kills the colors of a monitor. I currently have a 42" c2 and it looks miles better than the 27" models ive seen in store, mostly just because of the glossiness

Man all I want is a 165hz high refresh rate second generation qd oled at 27 inches and a flat panel that is glossy….is that too much to ask for lol??

I'm still perfectly happy using my Linsar 70" UHD 4K 60Hz TV, with games locked on a smooth 60FPS like a console. I don't play any online games as my internet is so slow, and I don't play fast FPS shooter games, so the 4K TV works fine for me. It has a great picture imho (it's running LG software) and cheap @ $750 Australian Dollars. I only need the 60Hz / 60FPS for nice smooth gameplay, it also allows my CPU and GPU to run very cool. My Gigabyte RTX4080 OC 16GB GPU doesn't even come close to breaking a sweat, same with my CPU too. It also uses a lot less watts too running locked 60FPS in games. Cheers.

This monitor is amazing. The matte finish is nothing and the pixels aren't that noticeable. It's far better than what he's saying. It's a 9/10 ez

Very cool, but can it beat CRT?

I lol'ed at the clickbait title and subbed. Congrats lol.

Stop buying TV's and calling them gaming monitors.

So we should wait until 2024 to purchase an oled monitor? I purchased the dell/Alienware 34 inch oled and one for my wife. We love it!! It’s not too big and not too bright. The price was great as well as there are 4k hdr monitors such as the neo G8 that cost so much more than this beautiful and fast beast.

I'm on i9 13900k +strix 4090 and I'm on the Alienware 1440p 240hz highly debating going oled. Wish it had at least 320hz

GTG is good, but you have to factor in input lag. No LCD can come close to competing with OLED on that.

I'm gonna keep my pc on 34 but I will be getting a 48/55 inch monitor. My current setup is 2 34 inch and a 28 inch I don't use so moving 2 will easily give me space for it. And I can't wait to see what it's like with MLB The Show where speed and size are important.

I bet it'll be hugely popular this year, so price drop will not happen right away. Also if it's not bright enough or you don't like the finish you can always return it.

hes right. smaller monitors are finally starting to come out but even theyre flawed or not up to par (coatings and burn in). within a year or few there should be qd-oled glossy panels that will be resistive to burn-in in more sizes

120hz 4k is good enough for me. I wonder if there's benefits to leaving your gpu refresh rate uncapped if your display is limited to 120 hz

I bought an LG C1 55'' a year ago and love it. Literally the best monitor I ever bought.

I bought the LG C2 48inch OLED over a week ago to replace a ten year old LG 37inch HDTV, which is still functional btw and is now used as my bedroom TV. It is hands down the best gaming TV/monitor I could possibly afford and I have yet to be disappointed by the LG C2, especially since I use both PS5 and PC. My next big project for the year is to build my tiny apartment's living room around this screen and build for myself a full surround system with a brand new AVR later this year, and build my own surround speakers. It's going to be fun!!!

I must be brain dead, I watch this video twice and I still don’t understand why not to get an OLED for PC gaming.

I recently built a new system, very high end.. i9-13900KS (OC) - Asus ROG STRIX 4090 (OC), 96GB DDR5 5600 Ram - 1200W PSU - Lian Li Galahad II Cooler - 2x 2TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMe M.2 - Phanteks NV7 Case - 12x Lian Li SL Fans - And more.. The reason i'm telling you this is because i'm a gamer, I play competitive games like rust, overwatch, etc. I want to upgrade to a new monitor, not sure if it's worth going to 4k for fps reasons or not. But I definitely want to step up from my current Acer Predator XB272 1080 27". I want something between 27-34" That is top of the line. Such as the Alienware AW3423DW. I don't have a budget, whatever is best for my setup I will get. So my question to you is, what would you get? I play games like rust, overwatch 2, diablo 4.

picked up a 1440p 240 hz viewsonic xg271qg from micro center. very nice monitor, no complaints

I'm really confused... so do or do not by that Ultra Gear monitor? 🤔

Ugh... i was ready to buy the g8, but the s95c came with 30% more brightness and 2xdurability.

Got an 42inch lg c2 can't go back to ips now...7

I hate 4k gaming due to lower fps. Still waiting for a 1440p OLED monitor that's not ass atm. The first gen OLED monitors that are slowly coming out need work. One being glossy coats not matte

the best budget ones panels lg c1 and the Heinsen ones with 4k 120hz

i've been eying non oled 4k monitors (looking mainly at the m28u and the g70b) but it seems there is no perfect monitor. for the prices they are asking perfection isn't an unrealistic ask. i want to hop on the oled train but i'm worried about burn in issues. maybe ill just have to wait a bit longer.

Once you get an oled you can never go back to lcd. I got my first oled tv in 2021 and since then now after getting the 27gr95qe every display I use is oled. 2 TV’s, Phone, Switch, Monitor

Well, on the bright side, if you were "burning through" that many OLED monitors in such a short time, you most likely had no problems with actual burn in?

LG C2 is good because it's almost perfect for movies and entertainment, pretty affordable, and also works fine for gaming.

I still hope that LG and Nvidia can resurrect 3D technology in the future. We need it back.
