because lg makes pretty much all oled displays and the smallest they manufacture is 42". for a company like asus to make their own 32" panel it'd be so expensive people wouldn't buy it.

My favorite part of this tv (42'' is basically tv size) is the custom heatsink. I don't care too much about the size of the back of the monitor as long as it doesn't dim the brightness constantly.

Nice review as always… and your room, gets me every time 🥹

Wonderful first impressions 👍I'd be looking at this from a creator's perspective as well as gaming, so would really appreciate some productivity insights as well as colour accuracy info in the full review. Great job so far!

Looks great. Straight I like the screen because they have used the perfect aspect ratio. Also gloss screen and I hope they do slightly lager versions in time. Love it. I hate the long wide view monitors so much screen missing like that.

Love this desktop setup, did mine pretty much the same way after watching your videos. Thanks!

On your future review, will you give us a comprehensive analysis on the anti-glare matte screen? Is the matte coating embedded within the panel or is it another layer? Do you notice any sacrifices on color and sharpness because of the matte finish? Do you find its brightness setting to be adequate for an OLED monitor during productivity use? How aggressive is ABL in your testing? Please let us know. Thank you!

Glossy finish looks better, matte kinda white wash the display but they said it helps reduced reflection. In my experience, glossy finish reflect brighter but smaller in size (I really don't know how to explain it, hopefully you get the idea), matte is diffused so dimmer reflection but it's making the glare diffused on the entire screen thus making the display less enjoyable to view. I prefer a dimmer or close to pitch black environmental lighting anyway so glossy is best for consuming content.

Great review! Can you comment on the productivity side of things? More specifically how much better text looks compared to other oled displays since that is one of the marketing points for this monitor.

Amazing video like always

OLED GAMING: So honestly, this monitor would probably be a go-to for me if I wanted a desk experience. Thanks for the video man!

I'm very excited about this monitor as it's the first one to check all the boxes for me. 4K, OLED, VRR, G-Sync, true HDR, >120Hz, fast response times. And I do prefer a matte coating for monitor-use. Yes colors and contrast might not pop as much if it's hit with light but it's a comfort feature, which for a monitor I use long periods at a time, I abosultely need to have. It gets you a uniform image over the entire screen without any distractions at all times. And there are many other benefits over somethng like an LG C2 (heatsink minimizing risk of burn-in, option to turn off automatic brightness limiter, sharp sub-pixel layout for text, Displayport, auto switching into stand-by when you turn off your PC...). Not quite sure about the size yet but coming from a 32" which I've been using very comfortably I feel like it could work for me.

@@vintatsh That's not how it works. 800 nits is never enough because HDR is supposed to have impressive highlights, it needs a wow factor to have any amount of realism at all. Since highlights are small areas of the screen, and sometimes time-limited, they need to be really bright to stand out. You're never going to full-screen at 1600 nits unless there's like a flash bang or you're staring at the sun, in which case you would avert your eyes which is the realism factor. It makes it like real-life (FYI the nits of real sunlight on a normal day outside is 4000-5000). On OLED you can stare at the sun or let people flash bang your face in "HDR" because the screens are just too dim.

I guess for now it's just personal preference, I get where you're coming though.

6:05. Matte screens still force you to control your environment. If they push over 600 nits, you don't really need matte screens in a controlled environment. I feel like monitor companies have produced 300 nit monitors for so long, they think matte screens are 100% required. That's what happens when all you focus on is one upping the Hz each year instead of picture quality.

@dylanyoungs8313

TV's have and likely always will have much better colour accuracy and general quality because of the image processing they use. This is unlikely to ever exist on a gaming monitor because it introduces substantial input lag.

I prefer glossy displays. Yes the reflections are clearer, but with an matte display it washes out every light that shines at the display, making an small bright light wash out the entire display.

I really enjoy your channel tbh

I just received mine and it was the best decision i ever made. Im in LOVE, my first 4k screen ever and then also the biggest :D

Nice video! As a PC Gamer 42" is waaaay off the mark, We need some 27" OLED display especially for gamers using dual screen set-ups. For XSX and PS5 this is good, but realistically most console gamers use OLED TVs anyways from 50" upwards. As a dedicated gaming monitor, minimum requirement should be 144hz or even 165hz, personally I use 240hz @ 1440p (competitive) and 144hz @4K (single player). Thanks for another great video :)

Thanks for the review, i can't wait for your full review! My dream spec for a gaming monitor would be pretty close to this: 42 inches or so, anti-glare, normal aspect ratio not ultra wide, but 1440 @ 200mhz instead of 4k (because not even a 3090ti will do anywhere near 4k @ 138mhz in most decent looking aaa titles anyway). If possible, i had a couple of suggestions for things to look at over the course of your full review: - What do resolutions other than 4k look like on the monitor (try playing a game in 1080/1440 and seeing what the monitor's scaling is like) - In the settings, what HDR options are available?
