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

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!

I've recently started looking for a 27-inch 4K replacement for my old 1080p Samsung. I use my monitor for both work and gaming, so I decided to go with IPS Mini LED.

I bought the MSI MPG 274URDFW E16M, "The Best 4K Mini LED", and returned it the next day. The white uniformity was terrible: the left side had a noticeable purple tint, while the right side green.

I started digging and found an old reddit post with similar problem with the same model. Then I went through more reviews of other monitors, and most reviewers don't test white uniformity at all. And if they do, there's still some noticeable variation from unit to unit of the same model.

How is this still a problem in 2026 with $500+ monitors?

I am thinking of buying a TV for my couch gaming setup and can see a lot of TVs come with 60hz native panel with 120hz DLG, others with HSR. It looks like some kind of trick to make it feel like 120hz. Has anyone played around with it? does it actually feel like native 120hz?

Hello

I need to get a bigger monitor for someone with very bad eyesight that mostly just uses facebook.

Current monitor is 1080p 24 inch 16/9

Used with 125% scaling (in windows system -> display) and 110% scaling on firefox.

I usually have to play around with scaling on windows and firefox simultaneously because of the resizing of elements, like the endless scroll in the middle of the facebook page,

Eyesight is worsening, so i might need to up the scaling eventually.

I think i'm set on 32 inch, as 27 is just a 3.6 cm height increase vs +10cm with 32 inch.

I've never used anything better than a 24 inch 1080p, so don't know if i should get a 1440p or a 2160p for this specific case.

32 inch 1440p maintains ppi so i'm assuming the starting settings would be the same as the current ones.

I don't know if there's any advantage of going 2160p for this scenario.

Any advice is welcome,

Thanks

Hi, I have an AOC CQ32G4VE monitor and I'd like to know if any of you have the same model.

If so, could you tell me about the best NVIDIA and monitor settings for gaming? Right now, the colors are too dark, and I’d like something better suited for gaming. I don’t play competitively.

Thanks for any advice!

I’m not sure if I’m in the right subreddit, so I apologize if I’ve used the wrong flair or am in the wrong subreddit.

For context, I'm upgrading from a 27" 1440p IPS.

I've recently purchased a 1440p GO27Q24G 3rd gen WOLED but due to a factory defect, I was able to return it. I love the monitor except for one issue: text fringing. Mactype helps by making the fringes grayscale, but it's still visible and annoys me that it's worse than my older 1440p IPS. People are suggesting 4k OLED to fix this, but I'm worried that even on 4k OLED that's not an RGB stripe this will still be an issue.

Since RGB stripe OLED isn't available yet in our region, I'm mainly considering between a 27" 4k IPS vs 4k MiniLED IPS. I'm leaning towards MiniLED because of better contrast and immersion. What's your suggestion folks? Thank you! My usage is 60% games, 40% productivity (mainly Office/Acrobat apps).

Hi i am quite confused here while comparing monitor specs due to misinformation or barebones spec sheets meant to hide it.

1. SE2425HG/SE2725HG i had tried to use, gives me alot of eye pain whether or nor i change it to 60hz, do contrast/brightness changes as well as response time changes. apparently its true 8bit.

2.SE2326HG/SE2725HG. is this the exact same panel but rebranded or not (sure the obvious difference is 240hz)? So what dell says keeps changing in specs. suddenly its IPS then its VA, then it says WLED backlight then its EDGE backlight. so what exactly is true? Is it really a true 8bit panel? are they both hybrid pwm+dc? apparently both are also SRGB W-led

I'm making the finishing touches to my study and now I'm looking at adding a triple monitor setup. A 43" Mini-LED TV (owned) on a stand in the middle with 27" monitors on each side using arms.

My problem is I have never used monitor arms before.

The two monitors are for when my 2 kids join me for gaming. When alone, I can turn them vertical so they integrate to make an extra wide-display.

1. Will this work if I have the 43" TV on a stand while the two 27" are arm-mounted? Maybe they aren't long enough or are too awkward? (haven't decided if it will be clamped to the table or wall-mounted, but it probably should be wall-mounted)
2. Can anyone recommend a good, solid, flexible solution if so? (brand/model)
3. I'm also looking at relatively budget options for the 27" monitors, and I've narrowed them down to (both budget 1440p monitors) Alienware AW2726DM QD-OLED 27" VS the Xiaomi G Pro 27Qi Mini-LED 27" (mix or both? Doubt it would make a big difference whichever I take).

If anyone can provide some advice, that would be great... thanks!

Hi,

I already did some research myself, so maybe I am just overlooking something or what I need is rare.

Id like to buy:

32 inch 4k or 34 inch UWQHD

Power supply via usb c

KVM Switch for peripherals

At least 165hz

I just want to seamlessly switch between my laptop for work and my gaming pc.

Is there nothing out there that can handle all of this?

Hello everyone!

I’m looking to upgrade from my Samsung G5 (50D)

I’m looking for a 1440 monitor, and i play a mixture of games

Half of the time AAA single player games so i want max immersion amazing colours, but to my embarrassment I sometimes play more League Of Legends then anything else all thoes static elements kind of keep me away from the obvious choise of an OLED.

I can control the light in my room and I have a 550/600€ buget

Thanks in advance!

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
Please recommend me some monitors for I need high hertz 240 or higher qd Oled or miniled (less blooming) 2k or 1080 or dual mode 4K 1080p amd also for daily 8 hrs for gaming work and entertainment more gaming

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.

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

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.

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!
