the different naming's for monitors drives me crazy. some are worse than others but man I've been trying to pick out a new one and i have to have 20 tabs open cross referencing them all to figure out which one is what and why its better than the other.

Another great job of evaluation of your hard work. Looking forward to 2024 hardware release reviews. Happy New mate.

This is a great way to breakdown all the monitors you guys reviewed this year! Thanks for all the videos and have a happy new year!!

Great ranking video, and still works for a good start on seeing what is available this year.

Love these videos! Thanks Tim, happy New Year

Picked up an Alienware AW3423DWF this holiday, in part due to your videos and recommendations over the year. I know it's not on this list because it released last year, but as we're at year's end, I wanted to say I appreciate the work you do here. A safe and Happy New Year to you.

Hi how was it ? I got the G8 for sale. How is the Alienware performance and display ? How is it for productivity ?

@@nicktan4530 This is my first OLED screen so the wow factor was quite the experience. Still playing around with settings a bit to convince myself I've maximized it's capability. Both in-game (HDR on) and everyday use (HDR off) work to a tee. I'd have no reservation in suggesting this monitor to others. That G8 (34" Odyssey OLED G8) was the other consideration when I knew I was going to buy a new monitor. Both seem to be at the top of the heap in Ultrawides, but at the end of the day it was price that helped in the final decision. At the time the Alienware was on sale for a few hundred dollars less, and I let my frugal nature win out. Of course the G8 went on sale just after the holiday which put it within about a hundred dollars of what I paid (the universe can be cruel that way), so I'm left wondering what I may have done at the time if the cost had been that close. But I wouldn't swap the Alienware out at this point as I'm incredibly satisfied with this monitor, as I imagine you are with the Samsung.

Not sure if prices ever drop on LG's website but LG offers extended protection past the manufacturer warranty if you buy through them. For the 27GR95QE you get 2y manufacturer warranty and have the option to get 1 extra year for 69.99 or 2y for 99.99.

I’m a royal patron supporter of your channel for several years now. Really appreciate your dedication in making these content. Please keep it up! Good work ! Already like, subscribed, bell notifications and commented.

I'm looking forward to seeing what LG unveils with their new ultrawide OLED lineup. I'll likely be buying that when it hits the market 👌 the curve is more aggressive than I'd usually like to get but since I have my C2 65" TV, I think I won't mind the curve for mostly KB/M games.

Guys, I love just how clystar clear and crisp is your audio and video recorded. 🦊

Awesome overview video … thanks!!

Excellent review. Tyvm.

Thanks for the ranking video. cheers.

good ranking reference and appreciate your 2023 year end summary

Super excited about 2024 with the absolute onslaught of OLEDs coming out. If nothing else, pretty much every single OLED monitor released the last 2 years had one or more major problems at launch and this is the channel I trust to find those problems and point them out before I spend a ton of money on one.

​@Vercusgames Ya my LG from around 2003 had such amazing picture/color quality.

Thanks for the great work!

I'd love a tier list for mixed-use monitors.

Very useful format for a quick overview. Keep doing next year as well, son.

Doing a shout out for the LG C2 42 I baught with your recommendation a long while back. Still going strong for what I baught it for around 800 USD. Thank you for doing all these reviews. Cheers from Sweden

Love your monitor videos Tim. Hope you are getting paid man! :D

Great video- thank you! I feel very fortunate to have been able to purchase an LG 27GR95QE- what an amazing monitor. The one thing that kept me from purchasing the Asus was not only the price, but the quality control issues I've had with Asus products in the past- one motherboard that died after a year, and various laptop diplay issues I've experienced over the years. I love the brand, but when you're talking about an investment that significant, I just didn't want to roll the dice. It probably would have been fine, but I've never had any issues (fortunately) with any of the LG monitors (gaming or UltraFine) I've used over the years.

I bought the asus last week. It arrived DOA and ended up going with the lg. Blown away by it. Took some tweaking to get it right but worth it.

I picked up the Odyssey Ark 2 for content consumption and gaming and I love it! Would love to hear your take on it.

I love these tier lists. Glad i picked up the alienware ultrawide qd oled monitor.

Is there any monitors you think could have been on the list you didn’t get your hands on. Good new year’s looking forward to the 4K QD OLEDs 🤤🤤🤤

Nice! I picked the first one mentioned in A Tier. Just waiting for it to ship out to me.

It'd be useful if you put flat panels on the left and curved on the right so you could more easily see from a snaphot of the completed chart. I'm not interested in curved panels. I like you are now putting them in order as you rank them by tier which I don't think you did last year. I'd also love if you started including TV's (for use as monitors) as that's what I use. Currently a 40" Samsung which is still great but at 10 years old coming close to replacement. Not sure if a select number would be the way to go or a separate video altogether. Very useful round up of the years screens as usual and I'd imagine you influence an awful lot of purchases.

The AG276QZD has a very annoying burn in warranty however, including a pixel refresh that has to be left turned on after 4 hours otherwise it may void warranty. So unless you love seeing red text appear every 4 hours and a 10 min full pixel refresh warning I’d stay very clear from it. Otherwise it would be an amazing monitor for its price.

picked up an open box armada 25 at micro center for $104us. until they sold out of them, the new-in-box units were $130-150. i imagine that kind of pricing would change the value proposition of this monitor and possibly it's place on this list. too bad it wasn't widely available at those prices.

I just got the asus oled on sale open box from Amazon for 800 all I can say if you considering it for gaming get it. The motion clarity in warzone is insane. No longer am I see a block of pixels jumping around a corner or drop shotting. I see full detail of the other players skins while in a gun fight

would this be the same as your overall recommendations or are there older monitors also still recommended?

What a cool format

Nice summary.. eager to see some 43" next year.. or larger in the "non" ultra wide shape.

Nice tier list, but where does the Alienware AW3423DW(F) sit?

Hi, great vid, which 27 inch IPS would you recommend for gaming but also some work from home web editing, budget around £500

The Corsair 27QHD240 actually has 200 nits of brightness since they've last updated the firmware.

I purchased the XG27AQMR because of your review and I've absolutely loved it. I really appreciate this channel and all your work!

Love to see end of year monitor rankings next year. This year I got LG 27GR95QE and I love it minus fan noise that is audible for me but it's minor. Couldn't get ASUS version unfortunately as getting LG one on sale (700€) was stretching my budget already. Now I have OLD curse as in I'm allergic to IPS glow. 😂

I have it and didn't hear any fan noise at all, maybe at your place is much hotter or something so the fan starts up. ASUS was a bit better but also a lot more expensive + it doesn't have VESA mount.

23:32 ive heard that the koorui 27e3qk is an actually decent option for the same price with same specs.

Still sticking with my launch X27 probably until the great PHOLED stuff comes out in a few years. Desperate for oled and all the perks it brings but can't give up the brightness just yet. I've been used to 4k hdr for years and hopefully monitors get a giant leap forward soon so i can have my cake and eat it too. Very excited for the future.

The dell alienware aw3423dwf is not on the list, would you have put it with the above the g8 or below?

Hoping you cover the 49in G9 OLED soon! Been on the fence about getting it.

I’m hesitating between the 27GR93U and the 27GR83Q and the gigabyte m27U for console games (x|x),especially fast fps games like cod so what do u think should I chose between these three?

I bought a 48GQ900-B OLED after having VA ultra wides for years and I love it. Play games on custom 3840x1800 and watch content in 16x9 4K so win win.

Do you have plans to review any of the KTC Mini Led offerings?

HELP ME! Which monitor would be the best choice regardless of price? MSI G274QPX or Omen 27qs??? And why is there no review of this monitor (Omen 27qs) on the channel? Please help!

Hope to see your review of the Innocn 32M2V soon!

Could you please provide a summary at the end of these videos about what monitors ended up in what categories. Or a separate video just stating here are the monitors in each teir going though a tier at a time without jumping between tiers. Or... a list in the description?

Thanks for a Great video. In my region i can get the m27u and lg27gr93u at the same Price, which monitor would be best?

I find that the pg27aqn is missing from the ranking, in 2023 it had a major update with the addition of the ulmb2 and various optimizations, it is almost a new monitor in 2023

How do q-oled / w-oled perform for mixed use - 70% browsing/work/spreadsheets and 30% gaming? What monitor would you suggest? I need relatively good color calibration, but it doesn't have to be super pro level (i do make visuals on occasion). And 2x27 1440p or 1x ultrawide?

When discussing the KVM on monitors please clarify if they are full KVM or only partial. Most monitors with KVM require the second "computer" is using USBC for video so you could not use it as a KVM between say two gaming rigs both a DP or HDMI port or combination of.

I'm buying an AQMR, no question. It's crazy to think that the best 1440p LCD experience on this list is only a B tier monitor at a justified 20% price increase over the competitors. I still don't trust OLED monitors and for design and document work, IPS is the way to go.

any plans on reviewing the MSI 275CQRF-QD?

would you consider re-reviewing the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD? I'm curious to see if the new srgb and other new colour modes are any good, and if its worth grabbing at the current prices for it. Or if I should settle for another monitor with worse response times and motion handling.

please review the Dell G2724D. Love your work :)

Yeah, I want to know where AW3423DWF fits. Even if it wasn't released last year, it was last year that it received a solid firmware update, and last year that it received a solid price drop. So where does it fit?

I got Lenovo Legion Y27QF-30 for 320 euros this year to replace a broken monitor of mine. I only saw one chinese review for it so seems like no one really knows about it. Seeing that it came out and you reviewed Lenovo Legion Y32p-30, i would love to know if any people in the comments know about this monitor and if it was a smart purchase. For me a 2k 240hz monitor for 320 euros was perfect value, but i don't really know how this monitor compares to others that came out this year...

I got very unlucky with the purchase of my PG27AQDM. Even after updating to the latest firmware it displays constant black screens and powers off randomly on its own. Back to my LG C2 42 until the 32 inch 4k 240hz OLEDs are here

Thanks info, see ya

love the rankings, im planning on getting the 27GR95QE-B this coming days, not the new GS version due to its price tag, its a lot cheaper than most of its competition like the Asus version, brightness is not an issue, i use my Predator X34 with 300 nits brightness only with 45% most of the time and its already bright for me

What I don’t understand about the praises for the AQDM is that if it doesn’t have HDMI 2.1, then doesn’t that mean that it can’t natively run 2k 240 hz with hdr natively. If so what’s the point of such specs?

I ended up going with the Asus AQMR this month and I absolutely LOVE it! I was on the edge of getting an OLED but I couldn’t justify the price. However, this monitor absolutely slaps at a $499 price tag and 300 hz in comp games is insane.

Hi friend: I need a single 32-34" monitor primarily for office work. My budget is around $500 and I'm super open to Amazon Warehouse deals that are used-acceptable to get a deal. My current thought is the Gigabyte M32U. What would you recommend?

I purchased the lg 27” oled about a month ago. I’ve been in a rabbit hole with trying to get the colors to a point where I feel like it’s correct. I’ve been considering trying the asus 27” oled but that warranty is trash. I got the lg on sale too so waiting for the glossy lg 27” in 2024 is risky for me

@tim, do you have any reviews planned for the samsung 57 inch ?

Hey there! I'm eagerly awaiting your review on the SAMSUNG 49" Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC Series Curved Smart Gaming Monitor, as mentioned in one of your earlier videos. I'm on the fence about purchasing it and your insights will greatly help me make an informed decision. Could you please share when we can expect that review? Thanks a bunch!

Why didn't you review the KTC g27p6? It's like the other 1440p 240hz W-OLED options but much cheaper. Be nice to get your thoughts on it

I know MUB concentrates almost exclusively on gaming monitors, but there are three 27" 2160p OLED monitors currently available that use a panel from the Japanese company JOLED that are interesting. First is the Philips 27E1N8900. It's currently $799 at B&H. The other two are the LG 27EQ850B, and the Asus PA27DCE-K, currently $1,800 and $2,000 on B&H. I would like to see a thorough review of at least the Philips, which seems too good to be true. The other two are too expensive to even consider.

Do you guys experience VRR flicker on some of these OLEDs? I picked up the PG27AQDM from this channel's recommendation and it's a fantastic monitor, but the VRR flicker is starting to become a problem while gaming. I'm surprised it's hardly ever mentioned with OLED reviews.

If less eye strain and viewing comfort was your most important metric, how would that change this tier list? Or would it remain the same? My LG 27GL850-B has been pretty rough when it comes to eye strain and thinking about replacing it. Would ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQMR be a contender?

wish for a UW 45" 4K OLED panel or at least 38" also excited for the 32 4K 240" panels - hopefully all with dp 2.1

The Alienware DWF is older but still one of the best.

Can you please review the Dell G2724D? I would love to see your motion and response time analysis of this monitor as it is quite cheap in Scandinavia where I live.

I recently finished refreshing my PC and I have an rtx4080 paired with a ryzen7 7700x. Now looking to upgrade from my my 1080p 170hz monitor. Trying to decide if I should go with a 1440p ~240hz or a 4k ~160hz monitor. Considering: MSI G274QPX, Asus XG27AQMR, Gigabyte M27Qx Gigabyte M27U. Kind of in that 350-499 USD range... I primarily play COD, so the high refresh rate is very appealing to me. But I do also enjoy playing immersive, graphically intense AAA single player games (CP2077, Starfield, Alan Wake2, etc.) So that's the use case for 4k. I probably spend 2/3 of my time playing COD and the remaining time playing single player games...
