I recently picked this display up to replace my 49 inch Ultrawide. Very happy. Was torn about getting an OLED but in the end I felt like I really didn't want to have to make accommodations to mitigate potential image retention or even worse burn in. I know many use OLED and don't have the issue, even still I just don't want to have to deal with it. This monitor delivers for my needs. HDR is great, 144MHZ pretty much as big as I would want to go on my desk. I have an OLED TV and yes they are fantastic. But I really dont feel like I am giving up all that much in image quality for PC use. This review helped me decide to give this panel a try. Thank you for the informative review it is spot on.

Very informative review. Despite being a little late to the review, I'm personally glad to see a reviewer displaying the rear I/O layout as that's something I look to help my monitor / TV decision making as the layout helps with looking at positioning etc behind the scenes prior to choosing a product. The monitor while not the best, isn't by far the worst. The colour accuracy is quite impressive as it the wide colour gamut :)

I love this channel!! Awesome review!!

I've has this since Spring and love it. I have my LG CX next to it. I only use the LG for console and movie watching. The 43" Is perfect while the 48 is just a little too much. Also, burn in has me worried even though it hasnt happened on the CX. Along with that, I think Linus said the burn in protection basically shades or shaves vibrancy on the oled. For those still wanting an oled, wait for the '22 model as it will come in a 42" size. I may get that if they can improve over the cx and c1.

Hey.. BURN IN.. thats one reason I went with Gigabyte.. I know OLED is sharper and colors yet my sons friend has the OLED one and is getting burn in effects. Maybe some leave it on no screen saver...

Straight to the point review, congrats. Despite of a big drop in price for it recently - $899 AUD, I'll skip buying it due to power consumption and other lower performance stats as shown. Still shopping around for either an OLED or a revamped Samsung M7 or M8. My concern with OLED panels is burn in as I'm unsure whether playing flight sims will have the same effect as working on usual stuff on pcs. Cheers

Excellent review. As soon I get enough cash I will totally get this screen and wall mount it in my room. :)

very good review👍 usefull info's!

this is a really good review for someone with my level of knowledge! Not too general since I do like to know a bit about the specs but not as super in-depth as most other reviews I've seen. Big thumbs up! I've just bought it for 550 in a black friday sale! I've done a lot of searching and 43'', 144hz, 4K, HDR, HDM I2.1 (so you can actually USE those specs) for 550 feels almost like I'm stealing. Hopefully I'll be as happy with it as I think I will be. yes Oled will always be better, but so much more expensive.

Great Nada 💜🔥

Recently bought one for $100. I know crazy right? But I was able to snatch it up from Marketplace. I dont think they knew this was a gaming monitor. They thought it was a TV. Love it. Thing is amazing and my 6800xt handles it fine. Speakers are better than ok especially coming from a monitor standpoint. I have it on level 1 and its LOUD! I control the volume from my keyboard multimedia wheel scroll but have it set on level 1. Only thing I find odd is the fact that they didnt include a better stand for it. But a VESA mount should resolve that issue.

Bought this monitor 3 months ago and use it for 10 hours per day. It’s been rock solid, and love the larger screen. The KVM is a game changer as I switch between desktop and laptop numerous times per day. The VA isn’t great for angles, but man is the contrast ratio lovely! Inky blacks compared to my old IPS. 10/10 would recommend for anyone wanting a larger 4K 144Hz screen

Great review. Am looking for a monitor that will keep me from tipping over in Snowrunner.

Nice monitor.. thinking about which should buy for my pc and this I think the one I wantd

I feel like this monitor is great on ps5, but when using as a pc monitor, the colours look over saturated. Also when I was playing re8 village on Xbox series x @ 4K 120hz. I saw colour shift around the edges of the grass and other objects. But apart from that the ps5 is a dream to play on. (All games) I’ve never found the perfect picture settings for pc monitor use. I’ve always found hdr to be too bright (blinding) and and colours to be dull. I’ve found setting (green) to be the best allrounder. Thoughts on this?

Great Rev, could be good for flight sym? I play only DCS and IL-2 and like this monitor but I didn't know if the 9.9ms reponse could be a problem. So I ask if possible cause I'm really interested in buy it but I need to know if could be good for flight sym. Thx.

Hi, wich one is butter for gaming aorus or Samsung g7 43 inch ?

Hello, I am using KTC G48P5 OLED monitor to play games. I tested several games like Resident Evil 3/2/8, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. And I found the dark region is not so clear as the OLED should be. So I tried to set the "dark balance" of the monitor from 50 to 100, it got much better, BUT the bright things like sunlight is distorted. That means I can't get a natural visual from that OLED monitor by setting the "dark balance". So I want to buy a non-oled monitor like this one to see if it gets better. I noticed that this monitor has a similar function "dark balance" to improve the darkness clarity, but I'm not sure whether this feature also increases the overall brightness just as the KTC does. If it affects only the dark region, I think it's OK for me to buy it. Could you please take some tests on that function? Thank you in advance!

Hi great vid, does it have a crosshair overlay?

Bought a Samsung Neo G7 43" to replace my 49" Samsung CRG9 ultra wide, which I received a week ago. Nothing but issues, especially with the displayport. And no firmware updates since launch either. Returning that pos and ordered one of these instead. Doubt it has as good of a picture, but hopefully it is at least bug free.

Will the low bandwidth on this monitor really be a problem for gaming on ps5 in 4k?

I wanted an Oled monitor but I need it for web browsing on my pc... a lot. The auto dimming feature typically annoys the hell out of people (Linus) so I went for this Aorus monitor. I really needed a 43 inch size to replace my old 55 inch samsung, which was just too big for my sim racing/flight setup.

I just got this monitor a few days ago but i can not seem to find a good setting for it, the colors just seem off and in dark scenes the blacks either have bad gradiant or no detail at all depending on black equeluzer setting.

Just connect it through DP and that's it. On PS5 the Limited bandwidth is almost not noticeable either while gaming, plus the HDMI 2.1 limit there is 32gb “According to tests with the LG 48" CX TV, while the Xbox Series X can output bandwidth of up to 40GB/s via HDMI 2.1, the PlayStation 5 is currently limited to 32GB/s. In practice, this means that when playing a game at 120 Hz, the console will have to switch to 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, while Microsoft's next-gen console is able to keep the optimal 4:4:4 format.“

Hello does this supports Vrr and Allm ?

I own this panel. This review neglects to mention the one weakness this panel has, text legibility. This is a BGR panel, and despite statements to the contrary you'll find online, no clear type setting changes in Windows can fix the problem of text legibility with certain combinations of text color and background color. For example, if you're using Windows 10 in dark mode and go to Display Settings, the white text on black background will look fine, but the accent color text (mine is purple) and grey text will be difficult to read. The problem seems to be that horizontal lines get aliased out of existence, or at least become extremely thin. For example, the cross bar on a letter 't' almost completely disappears. Scaling UI text up does help alleviate the issue, but this is not always practical for some applications and diminishes the utility of having a large screen if the text is scaled too much. Otherwise, for gaming and HDR video, it's great.

I cant even get better with 9 a 9 millisecond monitor. lol that's 9 one thousandths rite? and i can do 7 one hundredths of a second and i might be the worlds fastest not sure. but pretty close. a new RTX card i think gets 3 latency... then you have your ping i get about 30 on the titles i play. so 42! lol that's nothing to worry about even for my 0.07 response time... not even close!!!! that would be 70 rite? which is unheard of. and the overall lag is 42... lol yeah trust me your fine doing pro gaming on this.... if you can get a response time of 0.04 then I doubt your even human lol. ive never met anyone that get anywhere near as fast as me. and i been playing pro for 38 years! so i say go for it if you can afford it! im going to start saving up personally doubt there is a better monitor out there. my other option is buying 2 monitors and a TV.... then be unplugging them and moving them around my living room several times a day.... or buy this... so really ill be saving money! that's what im telling myself at least lol.

@@Sincerity1993 It's a PC monitor i have no interest in consoles, if i did i'd use an oled tv. It does 240hz 10 bit full RGB in both SDR and HDR. I also have a 4k FALD ips monitor 1000 nit and although the G7 doesn't get as bright it does better in dark HDR scenes with no blooming. Overall the HDR in all scenes is decent and better than SDR and the response times crap all over the 1000nit HDR ips monitor that it's pretty much on par with a TN monitor. Overall the G7 is one killer pc monitor.

@@theoldpcgamer77 I use my Monitor for Gaming on PC AND PS5. So I don't understand why you would say it makes no sense to play on consoles on a Monitor. It does, because otherwise you pay twice the price 2k+, also not everyone is as rich as you or has the space for both a Monitor and an OLED TV. :) For example, I have my monitor in my office room at home, that's the only space where I can put it because if it were in the living room the cats would play with it and I like to be alone when gaming, not disturbed by cats or my gf. I don't watch TV, so buying an OLED TV just for a console would be a waste of money. Besides the HDR on the G7 was worse than SDR which is why I choose SDR over HDR any time before returning it.

I've decided to get this monitor instead of OLED and I am glad that as I used this as my full time main monitor (with WFH and all that.) The power consumption is still too bad though I thought I could have it at 50 watt with 200 nit but I am not too sure now with this video.

I have both this monitor and a 55" CX. This is better for HDR imo. The OLED just gets too dim and dull during bright scenes. I also prefer the HDR on this monitor to the X95J which I also bought as a main TV for the living room. It has higher overall brightness than the X95J but they are comparable in brightness but it absolutely kills the X95J in contrast. Seriously the contrast on this LED monitor is good that it's comparable to the OLED with that depth in the image that comes from getting solid black level. The X95J is a big letdown in that regard. And then the incredible brightness against the fantastic contrast gives it this really vibrant pop that not even the OLED can match. And, it has such a good price point when you factor in it's wide color gamut and overall awesome out of box color accuracy. The image is sharper and there is less blur on the oled but after a few minutes of gaming on this thing with the correct overdrive setting I usually get to where I can't notice smearing anymore. But if you want a display with really solid HDR this is where that awesome balance between great brightness and great contrast is at.

When I turn on HDR I don't see any difference besides the brightness being maxed out.

1k brightness jesus christ nada , this monitor has the power of the sun XD

Just bought this for 670€ - Upgrading from a 8 year old 4k Asus monitor i'm sure i will feel good about this monitor no matter what :P

you dont actually have to run game in 4k. you can scale it in game , in graphics card or on the monitor. now thats what you should have shown how does it handle 1080 upscaling. cirles and lines in macro photo

I've had this monitor for about 18 months and had no problems with it at all, the only downside I have is the amount of Heat this thing pumps put! Don't touch the top of it, you have been warned!

I love the concept. But I don't think the execution is there. If this had FALD and was $700-800 I'd love this. But I think $1000 is too much. Not being OLED is an advantage in gaming. But I don't feel right paying more than I would for a larger OLED panel just to get a 144hz VA panel without FALD. I feel like 144hz at this resolution is a wasted feature. The games that benefit from 4k can not be run at 4k 144fpz with reasonable settings. Also worth considering, a VESA mount that can handle a 43" panel on a desk is gonna cost a couple hundred dollars last I checked. And with a panel this size on a desk, I feel that would be necessary for the tilt adjustment.

If it had a FALD Backlight it would probably cost $1700, but that might actually be worth it. And VESA arms for desks are very expensive. Fortunately wall mounts are very cheap, even with some tilt.

I’ve owned it for about 2 years. Amazing gaming monitor. One thing I have to say tho, is that HDR looks horrible. Not specific to this monitor but I looked online in public forums and this seems to be a consensus as well. Next gen consoles with HDR on looks extremely washed out, on any monitor. Anyone know a solution to enjoy the HDR experience? Seems like a downgrade when activated. ( Everything was calibrated )

Thought about switching to a OLED

is it better than the PG43UQ?

The PG43UQ is a bit nicer. But no HDMI 2.1.

i like this,.......but why no Apple monitor,...the 5k_rez power consumption
