It seems that you are on an impression from QD-OLED and you overated. Put it side by side to G8 Neo and compare them in bright scenes and seperately in dark scenes while gaming. In most cases probably in bright scenes G8 Neo will be a winner because the visible contrast will be higher in G8 Neo if we exclude some black pixels in QD-OLED, in dark ones QD-OLED will be a winner as expected. Your tests are not entirely meaningful and they don't take into account all the situations. It's rather true because common reviewers show these advantages and disadvantages directly comparing these technologies, not by remembering what was seen or some numbers showed.

Just got finished watching something close to 3 hours of your monitors reviews. By far the most informative reviews on the subject that I've seen. One thing I would love to hear your thoughts on is recommendations with a focus on creative professionals. All the videos I watched seem to speak to gamers who might care about color accuracy. While I have been able to scrape most of the relevant information I need from watching the color performance chapters, it would be great to hear your take on what you think the best options are for creative professionals who need color performance first but want gaming chops on the side.

Ive got it too, it so far has been great. Have had a few pixels die on me, and the BGR makes some text look weird. Great gaming display though!

DIdnt realise it is already almost halfway through 2022. Always happy to see more monitor recommendations. Im in the market for a second 1440p monitor to my LG 27gl850-b. Thinking about the gigabyte model ;)

Great timing, almost finishing my new build and a monitor is the next step. Thanks for all the reviews, I learned a lot about monitors with them.

I have had the AW3423DW and have had it for about 3 weeks now. I was on the fence about ultrawide and the curvature coming from a 27 inch 1440p 165hz panel. I have absolutely no problems with daylight or normal room lighting (Window right to my left). No glare or reflections at all in my set up. The HDR is absolutely unbelievable. But the real game changer is the response times. All the animations especially in isometric games have absolutely no blur. Everything is so crisp. I've noticed it feels smoother and more responsive (and better personal performance) playing shooters at around 120 (because of the increased performance costs at max settings) vs 165hz on my old panel. I have a 3080ti and it runs the panel very well. If you use any DLDSR features you it will bring your rig to it's knees at 1.78x at 4587 x 1920 or 2.25x at 5160 x 2160 but the clarity is more than worth it if you can get enough frames. On games that are finicky with the 21:9 The Oled technology is made for this. Pitch Black bars on the side for 16:9 with absolutely no light bleed is amazing. I was on the fence about the curvature but I am so glad I made the switch. The subtle curve with the ultrawide makes sense as it envelopes your peripheral vision and makes it more usable. I would highly recommend making the switch of you the cash and Horse Power to run it!

You guys are knocking it out of the park. I got a Gigabyte M27Q on a recommendation of yours from a year ago and it's a great monitor with the most important thing of all to me: no ghosting at all just like you said.

Thanks for all the in depth testing, it helped me a lot last year when I bought a new monitor. I've got the Dell S2721DGF as my new main monitor and I'm still very happy with it. It ticked all the important boxes for me and at the moment I would say 1440p ist perfect for every tasks I do, gaming, content consumption and homeoffice. If I had to find a downside it's probably the color calibration out of the box, it took me days if not weeks till I had I setting I could live with.

I'd like a curved monitor, but the best places for my computer all have light sources somewhere behind me that would cause glare issues. That's the problem with a curved screen. You can't alter its angle a bit to avoid a reflection as easily as you can with a flat screen.

Is this really an issue or are you not going to notice it? - IPS panels tend to have IPS glow and backlight bleed, do you notice these two yourself when in a dark room with dark content displayed with max brightness? -Is there anything else you notice you don't like about the monitor?

I know right. This monitor is so good. I got mine for £470 on Amazon. The lack of motion blur or VA smear makes me wonder why bother with IPS unless you really can't adapt to the curve. With the dimming zones on at all times the SDR black levels and no IPS glow is a winner. I was playing a game yesterday and then checked out the UFO alien test for motion blur as the monitor was fully warmed up by then and zero dark smear at 240hz using the highest response time setting (not MBR which is awful). To me IPS is a no go anymore. I hope Samsung continues making these type of VA panels in the future.

@@theoldpcgamer77 IPS is garbage compared to VA, there's a reason why almost all high end LED TV's are VA, I went to a shop yesterday and there were only two VA panels from Huawei and Samsung on display the rest were all IPS and they all looked washed out and the picture quality was worse on all of them compared to the two VA panels, it wasn't even close

Just picked up the M32U. I highly recommend it. Decent contrast for an IPS, moderate glow, good viewing angles, very good pixel response with manageable overshoot, low input lag, nicely saturated colors, VRR, nice immersion. I use it for PC exclusively, as I also have a 77” LG OLED I use for my consoles. After a brief foray into the world of ultrawides (LG 34GN850) I found myself starved for vertical space and image sharpness after switching from the Acer XB321HK (2016 60 Hz 4K 32-incher) so I’m selling the LG UW. That’s why the Alienware AW3423DW doesn’t tick my boxes, even though I can’t deny its OLED virtues and HDR prowess. My next monitor is going to be a 32” OLED since even the recent 42” LG C2 is just too overwhelming for a desktop display… Just my two cents. The M32U is a really good product, my bridge solution until 16:9 gaming OLEDs appear.

Great video Tim. Would you consider doing a niche category in the future for portrait-oriented screens for use as a secondary or tertiary screen? Maybe just as a one-off category, not every time. Thanks.

I bought the Gigabyte M27Q, didn't really feel like spending that much more for the X version. Been 2 weeks since i've had it and honestly im just in love. Went for 430$CAD(About 336$US) for a total of 500$ with taxes. Tested it for bleeding and there was some, but nothing noticeable during use and no stuck pixel like some review i've seen mentioned. So overall im really really happy with it, your review of the M27Q also helped me after doing some more research and comparison between a few monitors. To be honest i also wasn't really expecting to have this many game that actually run well at 1440p on my RX570 and i was expecting much worst from running more demanding game at 1080p on it, you can see there a bit of ''Blur'' but nothing to really cry about it'll still look very good in my opinion.

I really wish OLED saw some direct focus. OLED is so much different from other panel types that it definitely deserves its own category, and we're finally at a point where high refresh rates or resolutions on OLED are accessibly priced.

A category I rarely see mentioned is "Second Monitor." A lot of features like ultrawide do not apply; there are several different criteria. And there is the question of portrait or landscape for the side monitor. It seemed like CES 20 and 21 had high end monitors like PG32UQX and PG32UQ announced but never seemed to make it so I am excited to hear you mention upcoming choices. Who knows, I might live to own a microLED monitor.

Thanks for this excellent roundup of all this information! I'll definitely look into your more in-depth reviews for a lot of these! One small thing I noticed while watching: I found myself frequently rewinding to pick up on information that I missed. If you had some sort of text on screen that covered the information you're talking about it would probably make the video much easier to follow. The footage you're showing looks great, but doesn't convey much information to an average viewer like me (plus, with the names all being combinations of letters and numbers, it's very easy to miss the name and have no idea what monitor you're actually talking about.) It's extra work, but it'll probably do a lot to help viewers retain information, especially on these roundup videos where many viewers are hearing these names for the first time!

I wish we could have 37" 4k gaming monitors, 32" is still too small for 4k without text upscaling in windows, and 42" and above is too big for a monitor at 16:9 aspect ratio especially if you wanna use it also for fps games and not put it like 4 feet away. 37" is just in between the two and provide the overall sweet spot.

I have had the AW3423DW and have had it for about 3 weeks now. I was on the fence about ultrawide and the curvature coming from a 27 inch 1440p 165hz panel. I have absolutely no problems with daylight or normal room lighting (Window right to my left). No glare or reflections at all in my set up. The HDR is absolutely unbelievable. But the real game changer is the response times. All the animations especially in isometric games have absolutely no blur. Everything is so crisp. I've noticed it feels smoother and more responsive (and better personal performance) playing shooters at around 120 (because of the increased performance costs at max settings) vs 165hz on my old panel. I have a 3080ti and it runs the panel very well. If you use any DLDSR features you it will bring your rig to it's knees at 1.78x at 4587 x 1920 or 2.25x at 5160 x 2160 but the clarity is more than worth it if you can get enough frames. On games that are finicky with the 21:9 The Oled technology is made for this. Pitch Black bars on the side for 16:9 with absolutely no light bleed is amazing. I was on the fence about the curvature but I am so glad I made the switch. The subtle curve with the ultrawide makes sense as it envelopes your peripheral vision and makes it more usable. I would highly recommend making the switch of you the cash and Horse Power to run it!

Yeah, PC Centric gave a strong warning that it is NOT good in normally lit rooms (it is dimmer than even average monitors in the same category) and combined with its screen coating and curve means it has a difficult time handling and diffusing reflections and ambient light. That seriously non-standard subpixel layout leads to really ugly, blurry tex. If you're familiar with chromatic aberrations in photos, it looks like that. An unwelcome red/blue fringing. I'm sure the next batch of QD-OLED monitors will do better.

I honestly still don't see 4k monitors as being worth it. Especially 4k 120Hz or higher. No GPU can actually run any games I want to play at that resolution without having to turn down the graphics settings a lot which just defeats the purpose of having a 4k monitor in the first place. And if it can run a game at 4k then running it at 4k and then downsampling to 1440p to remove aliasing will most of the time be preferable anyways.

These 32" 4k monitors prices are just insane. Ridiculous. Better buy a new high end gaming pc in that price.

How did you solve the oversaturation with colors.i updated mine but need to configure the correct contrast a d color settings...

Ive been using the LG C1 as my main pc monitor and gaming for the PS5. and its been absolutely ridiculously good. I have it placed a little over arms length and even for that size, its so smooth and relaxing on the eyes. The only drawback i see is that i wish it had an even higher refreshrate of 144 or 165. But you barely notice cause the pixel smoothness at 120 is even better than a 240hz non oled monitor!! and indeed when you have to read or type. the screen tends to dimm on you after a minute or so. But a quick flip of the mouse on the document/browser and its back again.

All very nice Tim but as a current UW1440p user looking for a bit of an upgrade but staying 21:9 I'm disappointed there were no UW1600p mentions. Not that there's alot of selection in my area - only 2 LG units and a cheap 60Hz BenQ but it wouldv'e been nice to see what you thought of this class of display which are usually 38" in size which I think is a good size for this resolution. Anyways thanks for all the work you put in and the common sense recommendations.

For the 4K category I went with the Eve Spectrum (matte) about a month ago, and the deciding factors were I liked the more simplistic design of everything (including the stand), but the fact the USB-C port was capable of delivering 100W of power along with video out made it ideal for the MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro my new employer provided me with. It's able to keep the laptop fully charged and I can connect everything else to the USB hub on the back of the monitor making for a super clean setup. Since I bought this monitor myself it also lets me get back to dual displays for my personal desktop (my personal and work setups share the same desk) and dive into 4K gaming for the first time. It's pricey for sure, but the full feature set has made it very ideal (so far) for both work and play. Only gripe is for some reason the webcam I have connected to the USB hub on the monitor causes me to have to re-allow it for use with some chat services I use for work. The large, external power brick is also less than ideal because the cable that plugs into the monitor isn't long enough to work with my standing desk while leaving the brick on the floor, but this can be solved with better cable management on my part.
