**The info about the front facing light at **3:16** is incorrect. There is a separate setting under system that's not grouped with the rest of the lighting options so it CAN be disabled - just tested it. Thanks to @isn1p12 for the catch. ** Also for those curious about input latency hit with Aspect Control, can confirm it adds .3ms for processing. Well worth it imo.

@@rickystafford7433- especially with it being the one that shines right at your face!

the reason why 27" isnt 1440p or 24" 1080p is simply because it displays the actual physical pixels for those sizes, a 1:1 readout. So since this is a 140ppi monitor it simply has more pixels at 27" compared to a 1440p version, as those only result in 110ppi. But good thing that you can still use a higher resolution input which gets downscaled, so 1440p on the 24" mode looks super crisp as you mentioned in the video.

UPVOTE SO MORE PEOPLE SEE THIS IMPORTANT DISLAIMER! The real reason why DSC is an issue is that on nvidia GPU's it causes a 3 second black screen when tabbing out and on monitors that don't require DSC like HDMI 2.1 or DIsplayport 2.1, the tabbing out is instant and responsive. No weird issues at all. DSC's compression was never it's issue, it's at least lossless in our experience. But The black screen for a few seconds is absolutely related to DSC. Nvidia has no fix for this.

@andreas7278

DSC is not lossless at all. By definition it is a lossy compression algorithm just like MP3s are for sound files. The marketing term "virtually lossless" used for DSC is just a marketing name and is defined by "when all the observers fail to correctly identify the reference image more than 75% of the trials" to be precise. Can you detect MP3 from lossless files? With crappy headphones it might be hard, hook it up to anything decent and it's plainly obvious. DSC is not the same quality but it is a very good practical solution to the bandwidth limitation of the past. It's time to face it out though since we have had new interfaces for a while already at our disposal. But DSC is lossless, no way around that. I am not sure what you mean by saying "it's at least lossless in our experience". I assume that you meant that it has not been bothering you in practice which is perfectly fine but it's not lossless and what does "at least lossless" even mean? Better than lossless generating additional information which wasn't even there to begin with?

Even HDMI 2.1 will use DSC for this resolution/refresh rate. Also I don’t know what good this “important disclaimer” is when no nVidia card has DP 2.1 and I don’t think any monitor does either. It’s not really a big deal, and if it is you can just run in fullscreen borderless and sacrifice like 5 fps.

Thank you so much for covering the screen size feature, to which I had no idea the ASUS could do this, as far as I know only the gigabyte has this feature. I had great worries 4K over 32" would hurt competitive ability, but 1440p scaled to a smaller window sounds so perfect, its almost 2 monitors in one I was holding out for more reviews of the gigabyte/MSI/HP, but I think I'm gonna go with this one

Two things: 1) As always, great review. You've been heavily influencing my purchasing since your first GSX 1000 video and if I hadn't just bought an OLED monitor two weeks ago, I would have bought this one based on this review. 2) I need to know what that sweater/hoodie is so I can pick one up.

Thank you for your video! This is the first one I've seen on your channel. I'm impressed by how well you convey information in English, even for non-native speakers. Do you or the community have any other tips? Currently, I have a Radeon RX 6950 XT installed and don't plan to upgrade for the next 3-4 years. Should I invest in a 4K panel and go with upscaling technologies and adjust the details for a stable 60 fps or stay with 1440p with that video card? Also, on this specific monitor there's the option for the smaller display output.

I would recommend to stay with 1440p if low fps bothers you. Because games will struggle with 4k on the fps side of things especially if you use ultra settings or anti aliasing.

The problem with DSC is not about the compression or being able to notice it or not, but that NVIDIA's driver issues. For example, they're known to have a bug which turns the screen black when alt-tabbing when going through DSC, and it doesn't seem they're in any rush to fix it.

I was honestly on the fence only because I was either waiting for the DP2 or for next years monitors. But man you really sold me on this badboy

I'll be waiting for the PG32UCDP model that has 480Hz mode also matte too. Being 32" for competitive fps to me will be no problem, can easily push it a bit further away, 9dm dept desk. The simulated physical size and custom resolutions is neat. I appreciate high PPI but for some fps games I can literally do 1080p at 50% res scale hah so scaling thing whatever. Though I'll probably just use 1080p 480hz at native for some games. Will push it far enough to make it feel like 24"/27" if I want, easy. But great stuff, really aside from lack of DP 2.0 for futureproofing, another thing I'd like to see is full Hz BFI and BFI sync.

Thanks for the good review! If you play 4k you're better off pushing the monitor back enough if that's a possibilty than reducing size to 27 otherwise you'll lose some clarity. But if the rig is struggling with 4K I would definitely consider opting in at 27 or 24.5 at those "odd" resolutions as those would be equivilent for native for this monitor at those sizes. It's pretty cool and unique that it's an option and it definitely adds more wiggle room to manage to get competitive games hit that 240 target with a good rig! Definitely peakes my interest to get this monitor

You can customize the resolution on cropped mode? Why did no one else mention this? This is awesome. My biggest concern with using the cropped mode is that the pixels would burn uneven if you play a lot of hours in cropped mode. Similar to playing 16:9 on ultrawide oleds.

Had to turn on notifications for your channel, I never see your videos in my feed.

Does 27 and 24 inch modes have an affect on the input latency or refresh rate performance (e.g UfO image clarity) noone seems to test these and in my opinion these are clearly why FPS players might want to pay extra for this monitor. Thank you

Been seeing a lot of reviews of these 32" QDs, is there any news of the new implementations for the 27" panels? Along with that I believe some manufacturers are doing revisions of their previous models last year like LG adding a brighter glossy version of their 7GR95QE-B

The Killer Feature part is amazing and first time I heard of it. 32 inch is a bit too big for competitive at least for a while. Just got the monitor and was struggling with it. But activating the 27 inch mode and going 4K 240HZ is GodLike. Huge thanks for this amazing tip! Any tips or settings I should change when using the monitor? Saw the TFT guide on hownto calibrate and set up the monitor but itnkinda kills the OLED Features...

Interesting that they seem to have fixed the VRR flicker. That's one of the few issues I have with my LG CX.

Can you compare this to LG TV, I assume thats the C series, which imo is the best TV alternative to those monitors and what I am torn between. (currently have the C2 42 but really want 240hz)

Would you still recommend AW3423DWF 34" over these panels considering its half the price of the new ones? Ultrawide aside

I’m surprised you didn’t have any flicker, mine has a ton and my DWF had zero issues with flickering.

I dont understand how it can do 27in 4k when its 4k at 32in natively. That just doesnt seem technically possible.

What kind of frames are we looking at here on CoD at the 24” or 27”, and with what specs?

I've mostly used Apple computers/laptops with bright and high DPI monitors. Most of the MacBook monitors are in the 450 to 550 nit range in SDR. Aren't you finding the 260 nit full screen brightness to dim for productivity work and web browsing?

knowing not much about monitor technology, are there gonna be 25inch OLED monitors for said competitive gamers or is that not worth to produce/not easy to produce. I mainly play valorant and i would LOVE a 25inch OLED at like 240Hz or 360Hz

i have a pg27aqdm, using it for work and play, recently found the need for more screen real estate, can I mount them on top of each other? or should I just get another pg27aqdm

Can you offer some perspective on this vs the FO32U2P? Trying to decide between the two.

5:00 With burn in are we looking at 3-5 year life cycle for these monitors? They are gorgeous enough, but I don't know if two GPU cycles are the norm with OLED

the aspect control feature is amazing however it’s not really the same as having a 4k 27” or 24.5” monitor as there obviously isn’t physically that many pixels in those sizes. Either keeping the default resolution or a lower one that scales well will probably give you the best image and performance.
