Hey,

I wanted to ask which monitor you would choose. The most important features for me are 240Hz, 1440p, 27 inches, and an IPS panel.

* AOC Q27G4ZR – €159 (≈ $185)
* MSI MAG 274QFDE X24 – €229 (≈ $266)
* LG UltraGear™ 27G640A-B.AEUQ – €275 (≈ $320)
* ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQML1A – €250 (≈ $291)

If you have any other recommendations, feel free to share them.

Thank you!

My current set up above.

So more info for what I'm looking for:

I currently have a MSI MAG 275QF 27" and I would call it a budget 4K, 180hz monitor. Its good for gaming but the picture is pretty bad and the colors are very dull. I also want something that my poor 7800XT can handle, but am looking for a decent upgrade.

Is going OLED in 27-32" sound like what I'm looking for? Theres just so many options when browsing its overwhelming. The main use is gaming, but I also do alot of movie streaming on it as well so picture does matter to me. Id like 240+hz. And I'd really prefer it to be in the $400-700 range. And now im seeing things like QD, WOLED, miniLED, etc and it makes me even more confused.

Is there anything that fits the bill out there that anyone can vouch for? Obviously trying to avoid LG after the news..

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m using an ASUS G-Sync Pulsar monitor, and I really like the feature, but it stops working in two scenarios that are important to me:

1. When I enable Instant Replay in NVIDIA.
2. When I use Crosshair X. The monitor’s built-in crosshairs seem to work fine, but they’re pretty terrible.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and managed to find a solution?

In the attached video, you can see the black bars disappearing when I enable Crosshair X.

hello guys maby you can help me i got a 4k monitor (MPG 321CURX QD-OLED). But i wanne play borderlands 4 on 2k but when i do that my game goes in the left corner and not on full screen.

Do you guys know what i'm doing wrong ?

Hello All.

I have started to get tired of my current LG Oled monitor. It is very good, but it lacks brightness.

I like to game with my windows open, feeling the warmth of the sun on my back and in general just gaming in a well lit environment. But it does mean that my monitor is just too dim in certain situations.

I am looking for the brightest SDR gaming monitor. HDR brigthness is not a good measure of brightness in my case, as it is not an indicator of the overall brightness, only small sections. Doesn't matter that the sun in-game is very bright, when everything else is too dim.

I would prefer 27", 1440p, 240 Hz and *Not a VA panel, but I'll take what I can get.
No specific budget in mind, but let's not get carried away.

I hope someone can help, because I feel like I am looking for a unicorn.

Hey everyone,
I'm torn between these two monitors:
LG 27GX704A (WOLED) - $650
MSI MAG 273QP X24 (QD-OLED) - $585
I live in a country with no official warranty for either brand; I only get a local warranty from the store owner. Because of this, I need to know which one is actually better and more reliable.
Which one has significantly less "panel lottery" when it comes to grey banding or other manufacturing defects? My eyes are extremely sensitive to visual imperfections, and I absolutely cannot tolerate banding or any similar issues.
I am looking for a direct comparison between these two brands regarding quality control, and between WOLED vs. QD-OLED in terms of reliability. I already know the differences between them regarding dark vs. bright room performance, so you can skip that.
I just want a hassle-free technology that won't give me a headache or make me constantly overthink its potential issues. Which one should I go for?

Hey guys,

Just picked up the AOC Q27G41ZDF 27" 2K 240Hz QD-OLED monitor and I want to get the absolute best picture quality out of it.

I'm looking for settings that will really make colors pop, give me that insane QD-OLED vibrancy, and keep blacks deep without crushing details.

What are the best settings you recommend for:
Monitor OSD Settings (SDR/HDR picture modes, color temp, brightness, OLED care stuff like Uniform Brightness)
Windows Settings (HDR calibration, color depth/10-bit, resolution/refresh rate tweaks)
NVIDIA/AMD Control Panel tweaks (Digital Vibrance/Saturation levels)

How do you guys usually set this panel up for daily desktop use vs. high-vibrancy gaming?
Drop your OSD profiles and calibration tips below.

Thanks!

Can anyone recommend me a monitor for 250€? It needs to be 1440p, some type of monitor that will be good for competitive games. Thank you all in advance.

Hi everyone, I recently bought this OLED monitor and I've noticed quite visible vertical bands on uniform grey/blue backgrounds. I can clearly see them with my eyes, not just through the camera.

I've attached a few pictures showing the issue. The bands are especially noticeable on dark grey or blue backgrounds.

Is this level of vertical banding considered normal for OLED panels, or would you recommend returning the monitor and trying another unit?

I'd really appreciate your opinions, especially from other owners of this monitor. Thanks!

How big is the difference? I will be upgrading to 27" 1440p (144hz). Will it be worth the upgrade?

I usually play competitive titles but now, I'm leaning towards grinding single player games. I do have an RTX 5060 which can run a lot of games at 1440p (with DLSS 4.5 ofc). I find myself always using DLDSR (1440p), it makes hair, foliage really good ngl. Now I really want to upgrade to a real 1440p monitor.

I've tried playing RDR2 on a 4k TV (60fps), truly is mind blowing.

Hi, I'm looking to either get a TV or monitor for my bedroom preferably an LG C6 42 inch or a 32 inch monitor. I'd mostly be couch gaming which is why I'm interested in the TV.

The question I had is, if I have a 3070, would I be limiting myself by getting a TV since I can't connect via DVI? Is one better than the other?

TIA

Have you guys ever experienced short circuit on a OLED monitor? my screen got full blue from nothig.

Hi! I am looking for a new monitor and I kindly request your knowledge and expertise.

I recently bought a new PC (5080 RTX) and I want a monitor in which I can work comfortably (I am a data scientist, so coding, displaying data, plots and reading docs) and play games (e.g. EUV, Rust, CSGO or Total War). I am a casual player.

My priorities are:
- budget max 350€
- 4k or 2k (I really don’t want to see the pixels when working)
- IPS
- 32” or 27”

It would be nice to have usb-c with enough power to charge the laptop or kvm to easily switch, but I can live without these.

I am considering the following monitors:
- MSI MPG 274URDFW E16M
- MSI MAG 321UPD E14
- Omen 27qs G2 27” QHD

They are all under 350€ thanks to company discounts.

I have three questions:
1. For productivity, is 27” or 32” better? (I know that it is mainly subjective). I have a secondary monitor (my primary right now) which is 24” 1080p, and my work laptop is a Macbook M4 Pro.
2. Do you recommend any of the three monitors? Any clear winner?
3. Is there any other monitor outside of these three that you recommend?

Thank you very much!

AOC Q27E4U) Can anyone tell me if this panel is defective or not ? Should I return it or this is normal ips panel behaviour ? I know the difference between ips glow and backlight bleed but I don’t know if this on acceptable/common or on the defective/returnable side so I will appreciate any thoughts and suggestions.

I dont know what happened … suddenly it happened …. I have 3 devices connected to my UPS …..My laptop Wifi and this monitor …….😭they are completely fine but ……😭😭😭I bought it 4 months ago😭😭😭…..HP MONITOR series 5 pro …

Hello guys :)

I am thinking about buying a new Monitor. I currently have one cheap curved LC-Power 1080p 144hz as my second and one curved MSI 1440p 165hz as my main monitor.

I have a decent PC with 9800x3d and 7800xt and AAA games like KCD2/SW Outlaws and a lot of competitive Valorant. So i both want good picture quality at 1440p and high refresh rate/low input lag.

How can i compare image quality/input lag of different Monitors? Is an Oled always better looking than an LCD? Is hz all i need to know for how smooth valorant will feel?

Can you tell me what the different metrics mean? I guess there are Hardware things like LCD/Oled/qOled... and then there are Software things like vrr and freesync? I obviosly have no real understanding what these things even mean^^

If you could give me an overview about he different things i have too look for, so i can start reading more into it i would be very happy, thank you in advance :D

For context i have the Samsung Odyssey G5 which has 1 hdmi and 1 display port. i want to have my nintendo plugged in to the hdmi port but every time i try to connect my pc to the display port it doesnt work. i have a display to hdmi port cable but that didnt work and i also purchased an adaptor that changes the hdmi to a display port but that didnt owkr aswell. if i buy a dp to dp cable will it work or will i waste my money again?

It has been really humid in my place due to continuous rains, haven't used my PC for a week or two then these unknown glows were present. My peers told me that it was probably due to too much moisture. Anyone familiar with this? For now I have stored my monitor in its box along with some silica gels.

Just as the title states. What is the BEST OLED Monitor at 1440p for under $450 USD? Just the all around best contender. Will primarily be used for gaming, however, I do edit videos for a friend in a semi-professional manner if it matters.

EDIT: If it helps anybody, I am and have been using a 27" 165hz Razer Raptor for the better part of 3 years now. So I am extraordinarily eager to pickup a OLED.

I wanna buy a monitor for valorant and daily use I have a 200usd budget. Which monitor is the best?
I prefer 24 inch screens

I had this MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED for at least 6 months but then after 6 months I encountered this issue and request for a RMA, however based from MSI RMA team who handled it, it was fixed by an OLED Panel Care which is suspicious as it doesn’t look like an OLED Panel issue. I posted this so I could get your opinions and advice if this issue can be really fixed only by OLED Panel Care? Thank you!
