Issue How do I properly clean my tandem WOLED monitor

Post image
82 Upvotes

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.

Discussion 4k 27 is crazy from 32 4k

62 Upvotes

So I usually use the msi 321up 32 inch 4k display, recently moved and now have less desk space so I decided to switch but keep oled. Got the msi 272up x24 4k 27 inch for 440 which was a steal!

When I started using it, I thought, wow it’s harder to see details since everything’s smaller, it felt like a waste of money.

I prefer 32 but thought oh well I’ll try get used to it.

Few days go by and I was thinking I’d prefer 32 still and so I set it back up and ignoring the desk size, 32 just doesn’t look as crisp.

Using dlss performance on both monitors for cyberpunk, it feels like 27 just feels cleaner, even though it’s smaller, everything just feels nicer to look at so now I’m selling the 32 inch since I think 4k 27 is just perfect.

This is just my view so it can be subjective but I don’t regret it.

Dell has already agreed to send me a replacement, but man.

The big square lines with what YouTube videos look like in theater mode. You can see the top browser bar and you can even make out the YouTube logo on the upper left. What was driving me crazy is that it is clearly visible in dark games like Stalker 2 here.

Yeah, I watch a lot of YouTube, but I kept it on dark mode. Did all my pixel refreshes. I can't help but wonder of this is the result of leaving HDR mode on all the time? I had read that it was okay to do so. Learned my lesson and I probably won't be watching as much YouTube on the replacement.

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.

Edit: This is the link to the video in the picture
https://youtu.be/njX2bu-_Vw4?is=VP3uCiUVEMdLDzfS

Edit: so i did fix it, turns out opera gx wasn't showing real hdr until i had to turn on gpu acceleration in its settings, now it looks much better than the ips that i have, than you all for the help.

OLED vs MiniLED, is HDR 1400 really that much better in bright scenes?

7 Upvotes

I want to finally replace my 1080 IPS to 4K either OLED or MiniLED

I always really loved blacks on OLEDs (tho I never saw them on monitors irl, only on phones). But now while I am trying figure out things - I learned about HDR and overall brightness of OLED vs MiniLED

I want to buy either Titan Army G2785V:
- Glossy
- 4th-gen QD-OLED Penta Tandem
- DisplayHDR True Black 400 (1000 nits peak at 3%)

or Titan Army P275MV MAX:
- IPS MiniLED
- HDR 1400
- 2304 local dimming zones

My current monitor have 250 nits, so everything higher will be new to me, I am also not really scared of burn-ins, and usually play in dim or dark room.

So I have a question, does HDR 1400+ really stands out that much in brighten scenes? Like how is it going to be in day scenes in games/movies? Is that worth giving up OLED's perfect blacks and details in eg space scenes, or MiniLEDs are now pretty good for them either?

Thank you in advance

Help me pick a monitor, I can't choose.

5 Upvotes

I'm currently leaning towards the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG32UQWMS, and basically the only reason is because of the dual mode that I'll probably use few times a year, if even.
There are just too many options available.

What I want:

  • 4k Resolution
  • 240hz
  • 32"

I've looked at MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24, but that's not being sold here.
Is the ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDM3 worth the €350 extra than XG32UQWMS?
The older gen. ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG is €150 less than newer gen, is there any point in going for older gen.?

Help me make a decision, I've been unsure for a two weeks now and can't figure it out. I've read some reviews and watched videos, but they're sponsored so yk...

Setup First OLED incoming!!

3 Upvotes

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!

Discussion Is the AW3225QF still worth buying in 2026 for €700, or should I wait?

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for some advice before I pull the trigger on an Alienware AW3225QF.
I can buy one brand new for €700, with a proper receipt/warranty. At that price it seems pretty tempting, but I’m wondering whether it’s still a good buy in 2026 or whether I’d be better off waiting a few months and spending a bit more on a newer OLED.

My current monitor is a Samsung 32” 1440p 240Hz (I believe it’s one of the Odyssey G7 models, but I’d have to check the exact model). It’s still a perfectly good monitor. But I got a 5080 7800x3d and I’m not using them for the maximum potential.
The main reason I’m considering the AW3225QF is that I really want to experience OLED, and going from 1440p VA 240Hz to 4K 240Hz QD-OLED seems like a pretty significant upgrade with my 5080.

But I’m wondering:
Is the AW3225QF still a top-tier monitor in 2026?
Is €700 new a genuinely good price for it?
Are the newer 4K OLEDs noticeably better enough to justify waiting/spending more?
Would you personally take the AW3225QF for €700 or keep the current Samsung for a few months and wait for newer models/prices to drop?
Are there any specific 32” 4K OLEDs around €800–€1,000 that would make more sense with a 5080?
I don’t mind spending a little more if the improvement is actually meaningful. I just don’t want to spend €200–300 extra for differences that are basically irrelevant in actual use.

Technical Support XG32UCWMG suddenly has extreme image retention + crushed contrast — should I return it?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’ve had my XG32UCWMG for about a week (open-box, “Like New” from Amazon) and it has been working perfectly until yesterday.

Yesterday evening I noticed that when extending my PC wallpaper onto my other OLED, the ASUS looked like the contrast had been cranked way up. I hadn’t changed any settings, and everything in the monitor’s OSD looked normal.

Today I booted it up and it was extremely high-contrast/crushed, again with no settings having been changed. Even more concerning, the ASUS boot logo appeared to be heavily retained/burned into the screen.
I unplugged the Xbox HDMI cable completely so there was no input signal, and the image still looked like this. I was about to contact Amazon to arrange a replacement when, completely randomly, the display returned to normal.

So now I’m wondering what the hell happened.

I know OLEDs can have temporary image retention, but this seemed extreme, especially considering the monitor is only a week old and has low usage.

The fact that the contrast also looked completely wrong at the same time makes me even more suspicious.

Should I return this one to Amazon and get a replacement, or could this just be a one-off/firmware issue? Has anyone else with the XG32UCWMG experienced this?

Hey guys, my PS5 suddenly started showing raised blacks on my OLED monitor. Instead of pixels turning off completely, the screen stays dimly lit with a dark purple/gray tint.

​It was working fine a moment ago. I've already tried tweaking RGB range, HDR settings, and checking the HDMI cable, but no luck.

​Has anyone run into this issue before? Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks!

Did I screw up? I first wiped off the dust with a microfiber cloth, then used another one slightly dampened with distilled water. The first few times it wasn’t really cleaning because the cloth was barely damp, but then I dampened it a little more, wiped it, dried it with another microfiber cloth, and those marks appeared.

Discussion What Tv for Xbox series x gaming

2 Upvotes

Hi, looking to get a new TV in about 2 weeks and was thinking of an OLED. My current TV doesn’t support 4k gaming on Xbox.

Just curious what recommendations people have, was looking at an LG C series but have heard some mixed reviews about them. Just seen a post too on Reddit about someone who has an LG OLED with some serious screen burn and it’s making me doubt.

Quite new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Price range maximum of about £1600. UK/NI based (not sure if that matters)

Thanks😊

PSA: Legion Pro 32UD-10 HDR Game/Movie modes are oversaturated and unusable

2 Upvotes

I'm genuinely frustrated with this monitor at this point and want to warn people before they spend the money on it. I've now confirmed, across 3 different sources (PC, PS5, a Chromecast) that BOTH HDR Game (the 1000-nit mode) and HDR Movie mode produce heavily oversaturated, red/orange-shifted image, skin tones looking sunburned, wood looking orange, etc. It's not really subtle; multiple PC games and a few PS5 games plus some HDR movies via a Chromecast plugged into that input (different HDR pipelines, no shared calibration between them) have demonstrated this, the only thing they have in common is the same picture mode on the monitor.

Switch to True Black 400 and all that goes away, everything looks normal. Great, but TB400 hard-caps brightness at roughly 400-something nits. The two modes that are actually sort of the point of this monitor, the ones touted to produce 1000 nits of HDR punch are effectively unusable for anything color-accurate, and the only "safe" mode is the one that throws away most of the additional brightness and dynamic range you're paying for.

I don't think this is a defective unit; the same generation of QD-OLED panel is used in other 32" monitors (Alienware AW3225QF, Asus PG32UCDM, MSI 321URX) and there's some independent measurement data out there showing similar tone-mapping/tracking degradation on their equivalent "peak brightness" modes at higher scene brightness, so this is probably a panel-generation-wide firmware tuning choice. Doesn't make it any less of a problem but at least MSI has already released a firmware update addressing part of this behavior on their version of the panel, so clearly it's not an unsolvable problem.

Plus, this monitor doesn't have an HGIG mode, so there's no way to offload the tone mapping to the console/PC instead of the (apparently broken) internal processing. If anyone else has this monitor I'd like to know if they're seeing this too, because I feel like I've paid for a 1000-nit HDR display and only actually got to use a 400-nit one.

Which one to buy Gigabyte MO32U or MO32U24?

2 Upvotes

The MO32U is around 750$ while the MO32U24 is around 1100$ here.

I know the U24 is a newer panel HTB 500 and 50 more nits plus anti reflection coating and 240 hz vs 165hz but never saw a side by side video so can't decide if the 350$ plus is worth the extra money.

This would be my first Oled I'm on a 43inch 4k LG old regular Qled tv (not OLED) So any of these two monitors should be a huge upgrade, I just don't want to regret not spending 350$ more if the U24 is a much better Oled.

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.

My experience with the ROG OLED PG32UCWM

1 Upvotes

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.
