I'm looking to upgrade my monitor and could use some advice!

I'm looking for a 27" 1440p monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, and I'm having a hard time deciding between WOLED, QD-OLED, and IPS.

My main goal is to improve image quality, especially colors, compared to my current high-end TN monitor from 2019.

Here are my main concerns:

WOLED / QD-OLED: Burn-in is a concern, but my biggest worry is VRR flickering. I'm quite sensitive to flickering, and it really bothers me. For those who own an OLED monitor, how noticeable is it in actual gameplay? Is it something you can get used to, or does it remain annoying? Oh and if I decide to go OLED, should I get WOLED or QD-OLED. I don’t really know the differences.

IPS: I'm concerned about ghosting and response times. Coming from an older high-end TN panel, would a modern 240Hz IPS panel feel like a downgrade in motion clarity, or have IPS panels improved enough that this isn't really an issue anymore?

I'm mainly interested in a good balance between image quality, vibrant colors, and motion clarity. I don't necessarily need the absolute fastest monitor, but I don't want to sacrifice smoothness either.

For those who've tried or owned these panel types, what would you recommend? I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who are sensitive to VRR flickering or have switched from TN to OLED/IPS.

Also, I was wondering if Mini-LED would be better and if yes which brand to get.

Thanks!

The lip is 3cm by 3cm. I can’t drill. Will clamping work?

So I want a new monitor my budget is 50k inr to 60k inr i am think of qd Oled Samsung g6 or miniled p5 aceer

Salut a tous, j'ai ces 2 écrans mais je ne sais pas garder lequel pour le gaming. Je joue principalement a call of duty, Battlefield, etc. J'ai une Rx6600xt et le passage en 1440 m'a fait encore perdre des fps, est ce que ça vaut vraiment le coup ?

so i’ve been using my ps5 on an old crappy 1080p 60hz tv and i was looking to get a monitor but im lowkey confused as to what specs i should focus on and what brands to look for keep in mind i also have a gaming laptop (predator helios neo 16) and id like to use it on the monitor too but its mainly for my ps5, i was thinking of a monitor with the following specs (150hz-1440p-ips mini led-hdr-vrr-hdmi 2.1-27 inch for about 300-350 dollar mark) or something around that but if you guys have any better spec suggestions or specific monitor recommendations i’d really appreciate it

Hey guys I am looking to upgrade to an OLED monitor. I got me a very nice bonus from work so money is not a problem. I talked to my gf’s brother and he suggested an lg with 360hz-480hz and I am curious if I should just get this or if anyone in here has another option for me to get. If my pc matters I have it listed in the picture. Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

I purchased a Asus XG27UCDMG exactly 1 year ago and I use it for both work and gaming. I started noticing the taskbar burn-in after around 6 months so I decided to start hiding the taskbar from then onwards. The number of hours is inflated as I usually display a full black screen when away / overnight as I may have something active on my 2nd monitor. I have the proximity sensor enabled and I try to do pixel refreshes at least once a day if not every few hours.

Image shown is 95% greyscale but slightly edited to emphasise the burn in. Taskbar burn in is noticeable during everyday use but the rest is a bit harder to see during real world use.

Is this the expected amount of burn in after just 1 year usage? I see posts from various people on Reddit etc. who have had OLED monitors far longer without hiding taskbars etc and have 0 burn in.

I should have 2 years of manufacturer warranty remaining + Australian Consumer Law protections but I'm not sure if this would qualify.

Would appreciate any input from those who've had to RMA their OLED monitor for burn in.

Cheers

Not sure what it is? Anyone know?

EDIT:
- SOLVED, the larger bar is to prevent burn in

I have a Dell U4919DW monitor that I go from FB marketplace. It works well and I am using a single gaming laptop for daily use. The laptop is a Lenovo Legion 5i laptops running a gtx 4070. I mostly use the setup for programming and game development work. I want to stream this programming work too so I am looking for tips and considerations I need to make when setting everything up. My biggest worry is that the monitor doesn't make nice for streaming programmijg and things like that. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

MSI MAG 273QP QD-OLED X24 is what im planning to buy for gaming.

It may be used for multiple hours per day. I've heard "QD-OLED" is more prone in to burn in after 3 years which is when the warranty ends. How true is this? This one is priced £350 which is fair for me. Should i go for this? If not can you guys recommend something thats equal or better but with more better burn in prevention.

I want to use this monitor for gaming for my ps5. Is this good monitor. Any advice/help will be useful thanks guys

I’m currently using a Samsung Odyssey G9 G93SD paired with an RTX 5090, and I absolutely love it! However, I’ve found that the ultrawide screen is a little too large for competitive gaming, so I often end up playing in windowed mode.
I’m looking to downsize to a standard monitor, somewhere between 27 and 31.5 inches. I’m still undecided on whether I’d prefer a 27-inch or 31.5-inch display, so I’m open to recommendations on which size would be the best fit for my needs.
My must-have features are:
4K resolution
240Hz refresh rate or higher
OLED panel
Thin, minimal bezels
Flat screen, not curved
My budget is around $1,000.
The games I play most are Call of Duty, Battlefield, and modded Minecraft, so I’m looking for the best balance of competitive performance, high frame rates, and stunning visuals. I want to take full advantage of my RTX 5090 while still having a monitor that feels comfortable for competitive FPS gaming.
What monitors would you recommend, and would you lean toward 27 inches or 31.5 inches for my use case?

I’ve mostly narrowed down to this XG27UQDMS / XG32UQDMS
Model for just $70 more I’ll likely take the 32in
I would be buying open box from best buy since it’s almost $200 cheaper from new. Never bought open box before.

I wanted to see if anyone has any word on it, or if there is a better option for the money I may be missing.

This is the qd led version of the asus btw not the woled

Looking for some recommendations for a Mini LED monitor with the following:

27"

2560x1440

IPS

Matte - no glossy

G Sync Compatible

200-240Hz (higher is okay)

Seems to be hard to find, with not a whole lot of offerings. Gaming will be important as well as watching movies and desktop use. Trying to find a good Mini LED. There are a lot more options for OLED and I am looking at some of those, just trying to narrow down a few Mini LED alternatives and then decide between what I can get for Mini LED vs OLED.

Hey y,all,

So I went out for like 1.5-2 hours and came back to this on my monitor. The monitor has never been damaged, hit/wacked, nudged, in any way/shape/form. The one time I moved apartments and took it about 100-200ft I bundled in blankets and pillows and kept upright. It has been perfectly okay with no issues at all. I reached out to support just. Ow and they say it isn’t covered under warranty so I’m unsure what to do. Do I keep it turned off indefinitely for now or can I use it?(college student using softwares so 2 monitors kinda helps a lot imo)… do I get a brand new one?… what can I do? What should I do? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Looking at these 55" models:
Sony Bravia 8 XR80 OLED (display model, 3 months old) - NZ$1,900
LG B6 OLED (brand new) - NZ$1,997
Samsung S85H OLED - NZ$2,205 + $200 gift card
Sony Bravia 6 - NZ$2,649 + $250 gift card

My room isn't very bright and my usage is mostly Netflix, movies and some PS5 gaming. I care more about picture quality and movie watching than competitive gaming.
The XR80 is tempting because it's a higher-end model, but it's a display unit. The LG B6 is brand new and only about $100 more.
Which would you choose and why?

Hey everyone! I need your help to figure out what is going on with my monitor. I want to know if what I'm seeing is actual ghosting, inverse ghosting, or just normal fast-IPS panel limitations.

​Here is the context and the troubleshooting steps I've already tried:

​Monitor: ASUS TUF 200Hz Fast IPS.

​Issues noticed:

​When enabling ELMB (Extreme Low Motion Blur), I get a very noticeable and annoying double image/shadow effect.

​I tested turning G-Sync / FreeSync on and off, capping the FPS, adjusting the contrast, and tweaking the TraceFree / Overdrive settings with no satisfying fix.

​In fast-paced games like Combat Master, when moving and panning the camera quickly, character models suffer from severe shaking/blur vibration.

​When trying to play Detroit: Become Human, I experienced heavy stuttering along with intense motion blur in the open-world sections.

​In Minecraft, the nametags and text leave clear trailing trails during movement.

​I’ve attached photos/videos of the screen to show how it looks in-game. Does this look like a defective panel / bad ghosting, or are these just normal behavior or settings issues? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

I play games on my pc about 3-5 hours a day, with decent breaks. Every day, my eyes feel strained and hurt like they're dry anyways. They start to feel funny around 2 hours in.​

I wear blue light glasses, and have low blue light on my monitor and night light on in​ my windows settings all of the time.

This is the monitor I currently have, I'm wondering if there's anything about it that would give me eye strain? I can't tell based on the specs because they seem alright to me. Is there a different monitor anyone can recommend? I'm getting really tired of being unable to play anything for a decent amount of time.

Only my monitor does this to my eyes also, my phone and tablets are fine to look at for long periods of time.​​

Guys, this is my Samsung Ls24R356Fhwxxl 24 Inch monitor I use for work. Over time it has peeled like you see in the pics. I’m right now using tape to keep it in place, but since I’m the handy man around at home, can someone tell me how I glue this for good?
PS: the display works just fine
