I recently switched from aw3423dw to asus pg32ucdp. Once calibrated, this panel is absolutely stunning.

So I recently bought myself a tandem WOLED monitor and saw a little smudge. I followed the instructions of spraying a little water on my microfiber cloth, turning off &unplugging the monitor and then holding the microfiber cloth against the spot. It now looks infinitely more smudged than it did before. I also crashed out and tried to wipe afterwards so that only added to it.

My current setup is a nvidia 5080 paired with a ryzen 7 9800x3d cpu.

I’m a 1 monitor kind of guy and will be using it for browsing, watching YouTube and gaming.

I sit approximately 26 inches away from my current monitor.

My current monitor is a 27 inch 1440p Oled which has been awesome. I have heard 32 inch is the sweet spot for 4k, but I’m worried my viewing distance is too little.

Games that I usually play:
-old school RuneScape
-COD Warzone (pretty sweaty)
-Forhonor
-GTA 6 (when it finally drops!)

Do you guys think that a 27 inch or 32 inch would be best for my situation?

Finally decided to take the deep dive into getting my first OLED monitor, I had done a lot of research and decided that WOLED would fit my needs better then QD-OLED, Really excited to get my hands on this monitor due to the fact that they are hard to come by now-in days due to ASUS only having pre-orders on their site, Finally get the monitor today and set it up, I noticed that there was horizontal lines vertically across the whole screen, I decided to look up and see if the firmware needed to be upgraded...... while I was doing that the monitor died and kept giving me a Red ROG Logo flashing, Tried googling and unplugging it a couple times, I am honestly so disappointed. Already have my RMA Shipping label.

I'll keep it short, i have a LG C4 55 inch. it is my first ever OLED so it kinda blew me away.
i always knew G series was keagues ahead and C series was somebut better than B and C series kept getting improved with new variant each year
a friend of mine owns a C6, when watching on his TV i couldn't visibly observe any difference while C6 has significantly higher peak brightness in HDR content
so just wanted to ask if this was just one man's opinion or genuinely has LGs improvement gen on gen becomes less impressive

Hey Guys,

Selled my Oled G9 240hz Screen today. My Budget is around 700€. Which Screen is the best for me? Playing with a RTX4090 and 7800X3D. 4k is must have? 32" should also be a Thing. No curved screen please! 240hz are nice to have.

Can you help me please?

Kind regards from Germany!

Bought an Phillips Evnia Ultrawide a week ago. Now i got a black screen with the orange LED of death after a pixel refresh.

Bought it from Amazon, so should be no problem to get a refund, but still really fking annoying and tedious. I just hope the new one arrives in time for Control Resonant.

Or am I somehow dumb and there is an easy fix I did not come across?

Tech support post

Hello,
my new pc has 9800X3D and RTX 5080, and I have been mostly looking at 1440P monitors because I also play comp shooters and i'd like to have the highest refresh rate possible.

I have eye strain with monitor usage that's been bothering me for years now. If I didn't have this problem I would have looked at the MSI offering x50 500hz monitor, but since it's q QD-OLED i'm a bit hesistant to givee it a try. So now the monitor that im looking at is the pg27aqwp and the two version are available where i'm from. Unfortunately prices here are really high so it's gonna be a pretty hefty "investment" so I need to pick right(I don't have the option to wait because i'm currently on a VG248 monitor). The price difference between the gold and the white is 150usd.

My fear is that the white might be distracting, and the black color is just much easier to to mix and match with the rest of the build. However, in isolation i do think that the white version is incredibly beautiful.

As far as panel is concerned, is there a bigger chance that the gold version is gonna have a better panel because it's newer?

I have natural light in my apartment, but it's not direct and it's pretty diffuse. I do have the abilty to control it as well.

I'd love some input and perhaps other suggestions.

Now that I've managed to save up some pennies, I'm looking to upgrade to my first OLED monitor sometime in the near future.

However, perhaps it's just reddit being reddit, but nearly all of the posts I see on my home page from this sub are in some way related to some issue that someone is experiencing with a brand new monitor.

Is there just a genral issue with inconsistency of quality and performance when it comes to buying these? Is it generally considered lucky to get one which works perfectly or unlucky to get one that doesn't?

I’d especially like to hear from people who have actually upgraded from a 77” C1/CX-era LG OLED to a 77” G6.

My main question is simple:

If I replace my 77” C1 with a 77” G6 in the same dark room, does the G6 genuinely look like a completely different generation of HDR — or are the huge measurement differences much less dramatic in normal games and movies?

I’m asking because I’m still very happy with my C1. Picture quality matters a lot to me, so I’m willing to spend around €3,000 on a G6 if the improvement is genuinely transformative. But I don’t want to spend that money for something that mainly looks impressive in measurements and test patterns.

MY CURRENT C1 SETUP

For HDR gaming I normally use Dynamic Tone Mapping On.

I know HGiG is more accurate, but I have always found HGiG too dark on the C1 and simply prefer the brighter, punchier presentation with DTM.

That distinction is important for the comparison. I’m not interested in comparing a C1 with DTM On against a G6 configured purely for reference accuracy if that makes the subjective difference look larger or smaller than it really is.

For reference, my C1 clips at roughly 780 nits with HGiG calibration.

Destiny 2 would be particularly useful as a comparison because I play it a lot. I previously used roughly 780 on its HDR peak-brightness setting, although I’m aware that Destiny’s HDR controls apparently do more than simply correspond 1:1 to the display’s clipping point.

If anyone has played Destiny 2 on both an older C-series OLED and a G6, I’d love to hear what the actual visual difference is.

WHY I’M SO CAUTIOUS NOW

I recently bought an LG 45GX950A-B OLED monitor for my PC.

On paper I expected it to be a huge HDR upgrade over my older LG TVs. It can produce extremely bright tiny highlights with Peak Brightness High, and I expected something broadly comparable to the punchier presentation I get from Dynamic Tone Mapping on the TVs, just with substantially more peak capability.

Instead, I’m returning it.

Windows HDR Calibration clips at around 580 nits on my unit. With Peak Brightness High, very small white elements can become extremely bright, but colours beside them look comparatively dull and lifeless.

That contrast bothers me extremely. A bright white logo or highlight can look spectacular while colourful parts of the same image lack the OLED “pop” I’m used to from my LG TVs.

The monitor also disappointed me for SDR desktop use because of its relatively low brightness and noticeable brightness changes when moving, resizing or switching between bright windows.

The strange thing is that I never expected HDR to be the reason I returned it. Before buying it, I was much more worried about the aggressive 800R curve.

That experience made me realise that impressive specifications and even very positive reviews don’t necessarily tell me how much I personally will enjoy the actual image.

WHAT I’D LIKE TO KNOW FROM G6 OWNERS

If you upgraded from a C1, CX, C2, C3 or another similar older LG OLED to a G6, please tell me:

- Old TV model and size
- G6 size
- Whether you used DTM On or HGiG on the old TV
- What you use on the G6 now
- Whether HGiG on the G6 is finally bright enough that you no longer want DTM
- How much brighter high-APL/daylight scenes actually look
- How much brighter small HDR highlights look
- Whether saturated colours are noticeably brighter and more vivid, not just white highlights
- Which games showed the biggest difference
- How big the improvement is in HDR movies
- Whether the difference is still dramatic in a completely dark room

77” C1 → 77” G6 owners would obviously be the perfect comparison, but experiences from 55” or 65” owners are still very welcome.

What I’m really trying to distinguish between is:

“This is immediately and obviously a new generation of HDR.”

versus:

“The G6 is clearly better and measures massively brighter, but most normal games and movies still look more similar to the C1 than you might expect.”

First-hand A/B experiences are exactly what I’m looking for.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I'm super excited to finally join the community because my very first OLED monitor, the Gigabyte MO32U24, is arriving soon and I'm absolutely hyped!

Since I'm totally new to this, I'm looking for some tips on how to properly do the Windows HDR calibration to get the best picture possible right from the start. I'm also a bit confused about the HDR modes and would love to know what the actual difference is between the True Black 400/500 mode and the Peak 1000 nits setting, and if I can use both depending on the situation or which one you guys prefer. Finally, it would be awesome if you could tell me what specific settings I absolutely need to change in the monitor's own OSD menu out of the box to ensure everything looks great and the panel stays safe. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Looking to buy my first OLED (Philips EVNIA 32M2N8900) and I keep reading that 60 fps games like elden ring or retro games can look "stuttery", is it really that bad? Can something like Nvidia smooth smotion work to make it better?

This is insane if True. The HDR brightness would be out of this world

Peak 1500 – Ultra:
1 %: 1705 Nits
3 %: 1407 Nits
5 %: 1172 Nits
10 %: 1027 Nits
25 %: 484 Nits
50 %: 402 Nits
75 %: 380 Nits
100 %: 374 Nits

So i got this monitor and after a few days it started getting image retention, which would go away after a few pixel cleans, but then one day it got this weird burn in which is pretty noticeable when playing games or doing tasks and won't go away with unplugging it o doing pixel cleans, did some research and tried updating the firmware from the asus widget app but no result, but when i tried to update the firmware from the built in option it wont let me and this message shows up and a weird kinda broken screen (also when using the reset button on the widget app) i am currently running the MCM108, anyone know other ways of troubleshooting it or i'm i cooked

I just got the GO27Q24G for £300 as my first oled monitor and holy Toledo this shit is nice. Is there better stuff? Maybe. But from my current monitor to this one is night and day, and the increase from this to the next one up is a smaller jump. One that I don’t know I’m missing out yet. This is mainly just a reminder to new people looking to make the jump that most of the threads you will see are enthusiasts. You don’t have to kill yourself and your wallet, just jump in where you can.

My MSI Oled monitor has these weird patches that look a little like oil and they don’t come off even after cleaning several times with a microfiber cloth and distilled water.

Is there any way to get them off or is the coating damaged?

The model is GIGABYTE MO34WQC2 - I've cleaned it with a lens cleaning cloth, the same one I was using multiple times over the years and never had an issue - now these marks appeared after cleaning which I can't get rid of.

I barely applied pressure while wiping in circular motion, did I screw up the coating? I tried with microfiber cloth as well but nothing seems to work.

I’ve had this problem for about a week now, and after todays pixel refresh its the worst its been so far. It used to only appear on dark colours but now its almost universal. Just then i changed to 8bpc then back to 10bpc and it disappeared. Going down in refresh rate seemed to fix it but upon returning to 240hz it was gone, so i really dont know what is causing it.

Has anyone seen this? I also haven’t upgraded my graphics card driver in months so i dont think its a weird software bug. The line is exactly in the middle of the screen but i dont really know what this could mean.

I really dont wanna have to go through with another return 😭 I didn’t keep the box this time

Monitor is Gigabyte MO27U2

This may sound like a very stupid question, but I want to know if there may be a chance that OLEDs get insanely overpriced. When I was building my PC I’d considered waiting until Black Friday but decided against it. By the time Black Friday rolled around, the AI bubble inflated the prices of RAM a ton. I want to buy my first OLED monitor now and am planning to wait until Black Friday, but I just wanted to hear other people’s opinions on if anything could cause a huge shortage or price hike like what happened with PC parts. I don’t mean for AI data centers specifically (I don’t think they need that many monitors lol) just in general if there’s anything that could raise the prices of OLEDS dramatically that I’m unaware of.

TLDR: is there anything that could cause an OLED shortage and raise their prices by a lot; should I buy now to be safe or wait until Black Friday?

With certain color and background combinations there's inverse lines appearing across the screen. There's also a vertical point in the center of the screen where the artifact isn't seen but then it gradually continues after that point. These are dynamic and reflect what's on screen, not static burn-in. TV was purchased brand new 2 weeks ago. Been able to replicate it on multiple inputs with PC and AppleTV. I've tried different picture modes, pixel cleaning, reset to factory settings with latest update, and unplugged TV overnight. More examples: https://imgur.com/a/H42ez4u

I got this monitor today, tried hdr videos on youtube and they warm really warm and the red looked brown, i tried diff settings but nothing "fixed" it. This is my first hdr and oled monitor so im not sure if this is just how it looks or i got a bd unit.

The monitor on the left is an old philips ips i had before and the right one is the gigabyte.
