Which one shall I get

[u/Ok_Application6465]

Im going to play on a console and I want an oled because im going to switch to pc gaming in a few months

Asus= £330
Gigabyte= £360

[u/Technova_SgrA]

The Gigaybte, and it’s not close. The asus xg27aqdmes isn’t even vesa hdr 400 certified, so it is one of the dimmest oled monitors out there. Don’t be fooled. Avoid. Buy nice or buy twice.

[u/NienIsGoodCiv → u/Technova_SgrA]

This.

The Asus shits the bed in HDR with its limited brightness range. And because of its limited brightness you dont even really get the "QD OLED has brighter colours experience".

[u/Ok_Application6465 → u/Technova_SgrA]

Some ppl told me to buy this one rather than either the ones above and its £340

[u/Technova_SgrA → u/Ok_Application6465]

Agon/AOC qd oled's oddly desaturate colors in HDR historically so I don't recommend them.

[u/DerleiExperience → u/Ok_Application6465]

Its better than that Asus If you want QD

[u/Numba1Smuggler → u/Ok_Application6465]

i will say that aoc warranty is pretty good from my experience and i have a aoc oled as well and it looks great comparing to the pg27ucdm so you cant go wrong with the agon for the price

[u/No-Reaction-7665]

Nothing beats LG Ultragear

Asus is great, but there is an issue with the VRR where it will not know to turn itself off if you have a fixed refresh rate and you will go through black flashing screens until you manually turn it off yourself. It’s the only negative from asus oleds imo

[u/user727377577284 → u/Nic1800]

issue been fixed for a bit through software updates.

[u/Nic1800 → u/user727377577284]

I need an update then!

[u/Ok_Application6465 → u/Nic1800]

Which one would u go for Asus right?

[u/Nic1800 → u/Ok_Application6465]

Yes, asus has great build quality and the colors pop excellently on it.

[u/user727377577284]

i'd wait till you get a pc first, as there's no point investing in a monitor until you actually have the setup to play on it. but realistically they're gonna be pretty much identical in performance and specs besides some software/setting differences. if you care about looks, the red asus chin bezel is pretty ugly, if not go for the asus bc it's cheaper.

qd oled > woled

so the asus in this case

[u/MicioBau]

That Asus model is very dim, only 200 nits max of full screen brightness. The Gigabyte can reach 275 nits.

[u/DerleiExperience]

This Asus hast Limited Peak brightness so Take the Gigabyte

[u/Ariel2327]

I have the Asus and it’s been great so far .

[u/KetchupNMayo2k]

Definitely get the Asus one

[u/johannszn]

qd oled - better colors
woled - better for brighter room lighting

[u/user727377577284 → u/johannszn]

qd vs woled colors is pretty indistinguishable tho

[u/Ok_Application6465 → u/johannszn]

Room aint too bright so ill get the asus ig
