Returned the Dell U3225QE: its 120Hz felt little faster due to slow response, and contrast gains weren't noticeable next to the RD280U.
“120hz is noticeable but because of the slow response times on the Dell it doesn’t feel that much faster.”

After over two years and about 30 monitors, the AW3225QF is the best they've used, with superb colour volume, HDR and contrast; only a bigger size would tempt them.
“After all that, I can honestly say this is the best monitor I’ve ever used.”
Runs the AW3425DW beside an AW3225QF and enjoys both; they look close unless pixel peeping.
“have been enjoying these two together as they aren't too far off unless you pixel peep”
Their new AW3426DW is superb, silent, well calibrated and sharper than first-gen QD-OLED; the only drawback is no audio output.
“Dell has great color calibration. It’s also nice to have a silent monitor again.”
Their new AW3226Q looks overbright and washed out in every HDR mode; only Dolby Vision looks right.
“Any smart HDR mode looks overly bright and washed out in Windows and games”
Loved their AW3423DW for two years until it developed burn-in; a refurbished replacement's fan got noisy.
“while I absolutely loved the QD-OLED panel, over time it developed **image burn-in**”
Tried the AW3423DWF and disliked it; their ASUS IPS looked much better to them.
“Tried aw3423dwf - crap.”

“Been two months. Still no issue.”
Testing the AOC AG276QSG2 beside their LG OLED, Pulsar's motion clarity beats even 540Hz OLED, even in 60fps-capped games.
“the clarity beats out even 540hz oled”
Enjoying the AOC AG276QZD2 as a good OLED for the price, though its HDR isn't top tier.
“I’m enjoying mine so far, it’s a good Oled for the price.”
Their AW3926QW has some edge dimming that doesn't bother them.
“Mine has similar-looking edge dimming (although hard to say from a photo) and it doesn’t bother me at all.”
Upgraded from a Predator X34: the £299 AOC CU34G4Z's 240Hz VA is sublime with IPS-like colour and no visible ghosting; the stand wobbles.
“First impressions are this is (for the price) and excellent monitor.”
First impressions of the AOC Q27G3XMN: HDR in RDR2 looks fantastic and VRR doesn't flicker, but mini-LED needs setup and sRGB mode is broken.

Their budget AOC Q27G4XN has the least VA smearing they've seen and fantastic contrast.
“this monitor has the lowest amount of black smearing/motion blur I've experienced on a VA monitor”

“Tldr: Switched to Oled from mini LED and loving it.”
Loves the LG 52-inch 5K2K: much better than their old VA monitor, with blacker blacks and no noticeable bloom.
“I have this monitor too. I love it. Its so much better than my old VA Z35p the blacks are blacker and to me there is no noticeable bloom.”
The MPG 274URDFW E16M only matches the cheaper MAG's blacks at local dimming level 3, which turns greys brown, crushes blacks and shows visible zones following the mouse.
“Causes greys to become brown, the gamma curve becomes a bit weird, crushing of blacks, and just creates an unusable and unpleasant experience”
Bought the XG27AQDMGR themselves and describes it as amazing.
“I got the Asus XG27AQDMGR and the thing is amazing.”
Owns the XG32UCWMG personally and rates it as top tier.
“personally got XG32UCWMG and its top tier”
Tried the PG34WCDN after several 5K2K monitors; it came closest to what they wanted, but dropping from a 32-inch 4K to 34-inch 1440p cost too much sharpness and vertical space.
“I tried the PG34WCDN and this came the closest to being the one that fit what I wanted but dropping from a 32" 4K to a 34" 1440p was too much of a hit to both sharpness”
Loved the 27GX700A-B's picture despite gray uniformity and VRR issues, but it showed burn-in after only about 600 hours.
“I loved the picture, despite some issues with gray uniformity and VRR instability. However, I don't think burn-in is supposed to happen after only 600 hours”
Their first AW2725Q died; their second one is fine so far.
“My first AW2725Q just died (purchased in March of 2025 from Amazon).”
Returned their Gigabyte MO27Q28G for heavy vertical banding despite great HDR and design.
“i returned it due to terrible vertical banding. HDR was great and everything was also amazing”
Their ASUS XG27AQWMG beats the AW2725DF on HDR brightness, text and blacks, but has the same banding as the Gigabyte.
“Everything else is better - HDR brightness, text quality, no more raised blacks”
Over a month with the AW2726DL and pretty satisfied.
“Pretty satisfied with it, have been using it for over a month now”
Their AW2726DM blacked out every few minutes despite firmware, cables and timing changes, so they returned it.
“The problem kept occurring after every change I could possibly make, I returned mine”
Their Samsung G50SF replacement doesn't flicker like the AW2726DM, though they dislike its external power brick.
“I like it better insofar as it doesn't have the flickering”
Going from a VA ultrawide to the FO32U2, clarity is night and day and their aim improved, though fps dropped at 4K.
“Image clarity (both in motion and stills) is night and day.”
Their ASUS PG27AQDM had flicker, which their AW3225QF doesn't.
“I had the Asus asus pg27aqdm which had flicker.”
For programming and writing across Mac and PC, the BenQ RD280U's 3:2 format gives better vertical overview and very crisp text.
“I got a BenQ rd280u for this use case. The format is nicer for having a better vertical overview of text.”
A year of 100% coding on the Dell U4025QW with no regrets.
“Dell U4025QW was my choice year ago, no regrets.”
5,000+ hours of mostly productivity on their MSI 321URX with no burn-in, using floating windows.
“did the same on my MSI MPG 321URX for 5000+ hours with no burn in I can find.”
Almost a year with the LG 27GS95QE: gorgeous for games, but poor grey uniformity at low brightness in dark-theme coding made them switch to mini-LED.
“The main problem with OLED was gray uniformity especially in lower brightness.”
Their first OLED, the 500Hz Acer X27U F5, has noticeably fast response coming from a 540Hz TN; great so far.
“I'm coming from the 540 Hz TN Asus monitor and I've never ran OLED before and especially in games like fortnite I could really tell how fast the response is.”
Upgraded from a 25-inch 1080p monitor to the Acer X27U X1 on discount and now gets the OLED hype.
“Upgraded from a humble 25 inch 1080p monitor to an Acer Predator X27U X1.”
Chose the Acer X34 X5 over MSI: fine for WFH text, but HDR settings are locked and it can look dim.
“work from home two days a week and I have no issues with pixels or reading and that night light mode helps”
The Acer X49 X's QD-OLED looks gorgeous with semi-glossy pop and little visible fringing, though its build creaks and feels cheaper than a Samsung G9.
“Everytime i sit down and see the gloss POP, it makes it worth the purchase price.”
The Alienware AW2524HF caused burning eyes within minutes despite every setting, so they returned it.
“After 5–15 minutes I get burning, dryness and strong light sensitivity.”
The Alienware AW2525HM is a huge upgrade and has had no ghosting in two weeks; their aim has improved.
“It arrived two days ago and so far it’s been great!”
For high-level esports the 480Hz PG27AQDP is amazing; the bigger size made no difference.
“ended up getting the 27" pg27aqdp 480hz OLED. Its amazing”
Upgraded from an AW3225QF and likes it a lot: phenomenal glossy coating with no black raise, better HDR and useful dual mode for Overwatch, but it has grey banding.
“I just upgraded from an AW3225QF to the XG32UQWMS and I like the Asus a lot. TrueBlack glossy coating is phenomenal”
They absolutely love it: looks sharper at 4K than 1440p with a few settings lowered, and they see no text fringing.
“I recently got the Gigabyte MO32U24 because everyone was recommending it and I absolutely love it.”
Their first OLED arrived with lines on grey backgrounds that stayed after several pixel-cleaning runs.
“I’ve noticed some lines on grey and dark grey backgrounds. Is this normal for OLED screens?”
Bought the LG 45GX950A-B and finds it disappointing after a few days; their PG32UCDM looks much better.
“I got the 45GX950A-B a few days ago and I have to say that it's pretty disappointing. My PG32UCDM looks way better.”
Their XG27ACDNG has no grey banding and looks beautiful in games.
“I have a QD-OLED and dont have this issue. (ASUS XG27ACDNG).”
Their PG27UCDM has completely uniform greys.
“Im using the pg27ucdm and have complete uniform greys.”
Left the LG 34GS95QE-B: black bars, pixelated 1440p, too short and an overly aggressive 800R curve.
“1440p is noticably pixellated; time for an upgrade.”
Three weeks with the LG 39GX950B: the matte finish hurts dark-room gaming and HDR presets track poorly, over- or undersaturated.
“Matte finish - Yes, it ruins the monitor in a dark room while gaming.”
First day with the Neo G9 57-inch G95NC for work: very high resolution needs scaling, the DP cable is short and styrofoam bits were stuck on the screen.
“I mainly bought it for work and occasional gaming.”
The XG27AQNGV's ULMB 2 at 120Hz is flicker-free and clearer than their 360Hz OLED after a firmware fix for ghosting; OLED still wins on picture.
“This monitor is insanely impressive, but initial impressions were rough.”
Coming from a PG279QM IPS, the PG27AQWP-W is night and day: feels like 4K, no perceptible input lag, great HDR and PS5 4K120 support.
“its night and day...at least for me its first time using an OLED panel and probably the best 1440p panel at the moment.”
Super happy with the LG 32GS95UE: immersive 32 inches, great 240Hz motion, and the matte coating handles reflections with similar image quality.
“The whole coating debate is completely overblown IMO.”
First tests of the LG 27GR95QE-B against professional OLEDs: brightness fine in a light-controlled room.
“In initial use in a light-controlled room the brightness is fine for both SDR and HDR.”
Their first OLED, the PG32UCDM3, has impressive contrast; only the price and a bulky stand disappoint.
“The only thing I don't like about this monitor is the price. Oh and the stand it came with is horrible.”
Upgrading from an LG 27GL850, the MSI 272URX's text clarity surprised them; no fringing worries at 4K 27-inch.
“going 4k 27 inches definitely surprised me.”
No text clarity issues on their MSI 322URX.
“Replaced one of them with a 322URX (same panel as your 321UPX). Interestingly, I'm not facing the text clarity issue that you're facing.”
The Dell U2725QE is incredible for writing all day without eye strain, but its local dimming is poor and gaming response is mediocre.
“As a productivity monitor, though, it's incredible.”
10+ hours a day of office work on the XG27UCDMG without text fringing; they won't go back to IPS.
“I’m using XG27UCDMG for office work like 10hrs+ a day and I’m glad I’m not seeing text fringing like you do.”
Returned the BenQ EX321UX as a disappointment; mini-LED firmware and dimming felt inferior.
“I had tried a mini LED before (the benq mobiuz ex321ux) and it was a disappointment and was returned”
Uses the XG27AQDMG with a PS5 Pro for its C-series-like blacks; close but not quite C2 quality.
“My monitor comes extremely close but it’s still not *quite* as good as my old C2.”
After one month their FO32U2P has hundreds of visible scratches on dark scenes.
“My only 1month Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P has hundreds of scratches”
For mixed work and gaming, the LG 32GX870A-B is so good they won't go back.
“Doubt I'll ever go back to plain OLED from my LG 32GX870A-B”
A dead pixel appeared on their ASUS PA279CRV after two months, and ASUS refused warranty under five dead pixels.
“a dead pixel popped up last week.”
Returned the ASUS PA27JCV because its nano-texture-style coating was distracting.
“I got one for €660 (but returned it, because to me the coating was distracting).”
Their XG32UCDS was oversaturated toward reds out of the box until they calibrated it.
“On the xg32ucds I calibrated to my liking and toned it down.”
Sold the 27-inch Samsung G80SH after a week: the purple tint was fine, but the grainy matte coating made bright colours hazy and rainbow-like.
“But the matte coating was the dealbreaker for me.”
Nearly 7,000 hours at full brightness on their Gigabyte FO27Q3 with no burn-in.
“I've used my monitor for nearly 7000 hours, bought it last year and I have no burn-in so far”
The matte G60SF has no daytime reflection issues and its blacks beat their IPS.
“With my Samsung G60SF I have *no* issues during daytime and it gets an upgrade in blacks in the night.”
Three months with the Samsung G95SD and no issues; the smart OS is useful for streaming and can be skipped.
“I'm on month 3 with the G95SD”
Two months with the MSI 341CQP X28 under strict burn-in precautions; owning it feels like serving the monitor.
“I have MSI 341CQP QD OLED X28, nearly 2 months old now”
Their Gigabyte FO27Q2 developed burn-in lines in under six months despite daily pixel cleaning; colours are amazing.
“Mine already has burn-in after not even six months, Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q2.”
Loves the MSI 322UR X24's colour and black levels.
“I just got a msi 322ur x24 and love it.”
Really happy with the LG 27GX790A-B.
“I have the 27GX790A-B and I'm really happy with it.”
Uses the LG 40WP95C-W for work 90% of the time: a very good IPS with a gentle curve and enough brightness.
“It’s a very good monitor with a minimum radius of 2500 and an IPS matrix.”
Owning both, the Apple Studio Display XDR beats their PG32UCDM in most scenes, with minimal blooming and stunning brightness, though it costs 2.5x as much and won't work with a PS5.
“I must say. I am really impressed with the Studio display XDR. It really blows out the QD-OLED in over 90% of scenes.”
Got the Dell 32-inch 4K 120Hz QD-OLED at Costco and was happy; a price match brought it to $175.
“The Costco dell monitor 4k 120hz 32 inch QD OLED.. got it for 350 initially and was happy”
Owns the BenQ PD2730S 5K and loves it as a MacBook monitor.
“I have a PD2730S and feel the same way.”
After returning a tandem OLED for banding, their MSI 271QR X50 shows no banding in Discord, Notion or VS Code.
“THIS is acceptable and i see nothing in discord, notion or VSCODE”
Their first PG34WCDM had horrible banding and was returned; the second died three times before being replaced.
“I've had two PG34WCDM monitors. The first had horrible banding which I returned and the second died three times”
Sees VRR flicker occasionally on their MSI 271QPX E2, mainly in menus or games with unstable frame rates.
“I have a MSI MAG 271QPX E2 and notice it occasionally, mostly with games that don’t have a stable frame rate or in menus.”
Their Samsung G85SD showed VRR flicker; capping frame rates and avoiding frame generation eliminated it.
“Mine is a Samsung G85SD 175Hz QD-OLED panel. Never cared about VRR flicker before I got an OLED”
Kept the Gigabyte FO27Q5P after testing it; 500Hz feels super smooth.
“But 500hz on gigabyte feels super smooth.”
Half a year with the MSI 491CQP: pretty great, but at 1440p they need DLSS Quality for a sharp image on a 5080.
“I have this beautiful msi 491cqp oled I got about half a year ago and it has been pretty great.”
Saw pixels die in real time on an MSI 274QRF-QD E2 straight out of the box.
“I was seeing pixels die in real time on a 274QRF-QD E2”
After a Gigabyte VA they constantly tweaked, the MO34WQC2 OLED just looks good as is.
“I had a VA panel gigabyte before I bought my MO34WQC2”
Compared the LG 27GX790B with an IPS Mini-LED: better but not infinitely so, and surprisingly bright, enough that they run it at 90.
“Im more surprised at how bright the 4th gen tandem oleds can get.”
Uses the ASUS PG248QP 540Hz and expects to keep it a long time, with no burn-in to worry about.
“I use the pg248qp ETN gsync 1-540hz, and I think I will keep it very long time”
Returned an AW3425DW for the AW3225QF, which clearly wins on picture quality, though not on immersion.
“the aw3225qf hands down wins in PQ but not immersion”
Content with their AW3425DW and would only upgrade at the right price.
“I'm quite content with my AW3425DW atm.”
Upgrading from a launch AW3423DW, the AW3426DW is a vast visual improvement with brighter colour and deeper blacks.
“The colors are brighter, the blacks are deeper, and the screen looks glossier which looks incredible.”
Upgraded away from the AW3423DW mainly because its fan is loud.
“don't forget the AW3423DW fan is LOUD, that was my #1 reason for upgrading to AW3426DW”
Never noticed text fringing on their AW3423DWF units; text looks fine.
“I've never been able to even notice it on my 3423DW, the 3423DWF replacement I got, or my wife's 3423DWF.”
Their MSI 341CQPX still has text fringing, but for gaming it's the best.
“I have a similar monitor, the MSI 341CQPX. I even think it has the same panel. It still has text fringing but just for gaming it’s the best you can get.”
Owns the AW2725DF and sees no magenta tint once it's on, even in a fairly bright room; darkness isn't required.
“There is zero magenta tint on my display once it's turned on, even in a relatively bright room.”
Coming from a 4K Nano IPS, the new G81SF looks phenomenal in games.
“I got my g81SF last saturday and playing yotei, looks phenomenal. came from 4K nano ips”
The PG32UCDM shows a purple hue in a sunlit office and scratches easily.
“I hate the purple hue when I have sun light in my office, and the panel is prone to scratches really easy.”
Owns the MSI 341CQR X36: the AI dimming feature is poor, but everything else is great, with text clarity noticeably better than their 3rd-gen QD-OLED.
“The AI dimming is pretty shit. Everything else is honestly great”
The AOC AG276QSG2's Pulsar motion clarity is great, but it forgets its brightness after every power cycle, so they're returning it.
“Overall, it's been great! But one pesky software bug has me ordering the Asus”
A year with the AOC AG276QZD2: HDR is lacking but SDR is excellent, a strong pick at about $400.
“Ive had it for a little over a year now. As you said, HDR is pretty lacking, but SDR content is excellent.”
Their August-2026 AW3926QW arrived looking good with no apparent uniformity issues.
“mine got delivered today, aug 2026 manufacure date. looks good no apparent uniformity issues”
Their new AOC CU34G4Z looks greyer than their old IPS and they're struggling with colour and contrast.
“Everything feels a bit more grey than my previous monitor which was an IPS monitor.”
A week with the AOC Q27G3XMN: unusable HDR for SDR, VRR flicker, dimmed text and blacks no better than their old IPS.
“This has been nothing but a hassle.”
Loves their Gigabyte MO27Q28GR; a firmware update unlocks the best HDR mode.
“I love this monitor, got it when it was on sale like 2 weeks ago on amazon too.”
Upgraded from a 49-inch Samsung to the LG 52-inch and loves it.
“I have the LG 52”, and thats huge enough. Love the upgrade from my previous 49” samsung.”
Owns the MSI MPG E16M on firmware 26 and is very happy with it, running local dimming off in SDR and using dual mode for competitive games.
“I have MSI MPG E16M with FW26”
Just bought the XG27AQDMGR (the newer glossy WOLED revision of the XG27AQDMG) and calls it the flagship 1440p 240 Hz monitor to buy now, praising its deep blacks and bright whites.
“I just got this one for myself, and it’s without a doubt the flagship monitor to buy at this time.”
Tried newer QD-OLEDs but went back to their XG32UCWMG, which they consider the king for deep blacks.
“I have tried the newer QD-OLED panels and found myself going back to my XG32UCWMG.”
Upgraded from an AW3423DW to the PG34WCDN and found the difference small: everything looks a little crisper thanks to the RGB-stripe layout and HDR is a bit brighter, but not a big improvement.
“Went from AW3423DW to a PG34WCDN. Wasn't a huge difference tbh.”
A great display for games after a 144Hz IPS, with bright tandem-OLED highlights at 1440p high refresh.
“I have it, it’s a great display for playing games. Upgraded from 144hz IPS.”
Loves their AW2725Q with amazing HDR in TrueBlack mode; the early issues were fixed by firmware.
“Love my AW2725Q. It’s worth keeping if it doesn’t have too many hours of usage or damage.”
No banding on their MO27Q28G at 240Hz, even on greyscale tests.
“I don't see any even during the greyscale tests on my MO27Q28G set to 240 Hz”
Loves the XG27AQWMG's glossy coating and HDR pop.
“The glossy coating adds so much to this as well… love it.”
Their AW2726DM had the flicker defect; their MSI is brighter, and they'd keep the Alienware for dark rooms.
“This is the flickering issue I had on theAlienware aw2726dm.”
Their Samsung G50SF is a bit dim in a bright room, and gaming caused eye strain, so they went back to mini-LED.
“My G50SF QD-OLED is 200 nits, it’s a bit dim when my room is BRIGHT”
Despite babying it with an expensive cloth and distilled water, their FO32U2 got a noticeable scratch about a month in.
“I purchased an FO32U2 Gigabyte QD-Oled last year when they first came out.”
Almost three years on the PG27AQDM with zero burn-in; early firmware was bad until several updates.
“Had mine for almost 3 years now, zero burn in issues, only problem I had was early on the firmware for the PG27AQDM was horrible”
The Dell U4025QW has been a productivity godsend.
“I am super happy with my u4025qw, it has been a productivity godsend.”
The MSI 321URX has superb picture, a sturdy stand, no fan and a good sRGB mode, but picture modes don't switch between SDR and HDR.
“Picture quality is second-to-none”
7,200 hours on their LG 27GS95QE-B since August 2024, mostly work, with no visible burn-in.
“LG27GS95QEB 7200 hours and LG34GS95QEB 7900 hours”
Their first OLED, the Acer X27U F5, is awesome and worth $700 despite Acer's mediocre reputation.
“have had it a few days now and it's actually pretty darn awesome.”
The Acer X27U X1 bought for $499 has sharp colour, better with Acer's profile; turning off Pixel Centering fixed uneven bezels.
“It’s quite good, color is sharp and got even better after I got the color profile off of Acers website.”
Loves the Acer X34 X5, but it doesn't look as crisp or bright as other OLEDs and HDR 1000 is too bright.
“I love the monitor but the image just doesn’t look as crisp and bright as other OLED monitors I’ve seen.”
No noticeable IPS glow on their AW2525HM, better than their 2019 Alienware.
“I don’t notice it, better than my Alienware 240hz from 2019.”
Next to their old IPS, the PG27AQDP makes the IPS look shockingly bad.
“plugged back my IPS and was shocked at how bad it looks next to my oled.”
Calls it the best for the price and beautiful, with no grey banding on their panel.
“XG32UQWMS is the best for this price”
Owns one and finds it so good, with no regrets and zero flaws.
“MO32U24 is so good. I have one. No regrets, zero flaws.”
On the same model the pixel cleaner sometimes leaves lines that take up to six manual runs to clear, which they blame on firmware.
“I have the same model, sometimes the image cleaner leaves mine exactly like yours, then i run it manually again and it gets a lot better”
Used the LG 45GX950A for a year; after a newer monitor failed and they put the LG back, they appreciated it even more, finding the immersion of its 800R curve unbeatable.
“I had the 45gx950a for a year and then picked up the aw39 when it release.”
Two XG27ACDNG units had their semi-glossy coating ruined by cleaning; they'll go matte next.
“thats my 2nd unit being RUINED”
They wish their PG27UCDM were much brighter, but it beats the WOLED panel lottery.
“i have a pg27ucdm and I would prefer it to be at least 50% brighter.”
Grey stripes on their new LG 34GS95QE-B vanished after image clearing.
“I had the same issue with my new LG 34GS95QE BUT after I did "image clearing" from monitor settings it just went away.”
Returned the LG 39GX950B: mild vertical banding, useless AI features, and a matte screen when they prefer glossy.
“Had some mild vertical banding (which i guess is normal), the AI features are useless to me, and the matte screen was ok, but still prefer glossy.”
The Neo G9 57-inch was overwhelming at first, but with window management tools they fell in love for work and gaming.
“Gaming and working at 7680x2160 @ 240Hz is simply unparalleled.”
Returning their XG27AQNGV after a stuck pixel and black-screen problems.
“Just got a stuck pixel on my XG27AQNGV and I can't get it to unstick.”
Switched from a 4K 27-inch to the PG27AQWP-W for higher frame rates and doesn't regret it.
“So I got the PG27AQWP-W and don't regret it.”
Returned the LG 32GS95UE-B: the matte finish felt wrong after an LG C2.
“The matte finish, the overall quality compared to the OLED TV felt very weird to me.”
About 4,300 hours on the LG 27GR95QE-B beside an LG 4K IPS: incredible for gaming contrast and motion, zero burn-in, but they still prefer the IPS for day-to-day text.
“after \~4,000 hours on the OLED, I’ve seen **zero burn-in**.”
The PG32UCDM3 greatly improves bright HDR gaming with no ABL flicker, but desktop text looks softer than their WOLED.
“I can't get past the text quality during desktop use.”
Pixels are invisible on their MSI 272URX at normal distance.
“you cannot see pixels on the MSI MPG 272URX unless you are close enough to touch the screen with your nose.”
Went back from the MSI 322URX to an OLED TV for much higher brightness and HDR.
“I had the Msi 322urx and went back to OLED TVs.”
Testing it with a MacBook for programming, the Dell U2725QE has very good colour and 120Hz, but 4K means non-native macOS scaling.
“The higher refresh rate is a huge plus for day-to-day responsiveness.”
The XG27UCDMG's 4K crispness made them return a 1440p model immediately; gorgeous.
“I have the XG27UCDMG, the crispness made me return my XG27AQDPG immediately. 4k on 27in is gorgeous”
The BenQ EX321UX is great for work and gaming, with a KVM to switch machines.
“it is a great monitor that even has KVM functions so i can switch between my work machine and personal PC.”
After returning a QD-OLED for purple tint, they're happy with the XG27AQDMG despite buggy firmware.
“Since brought a xg27aqdmg and is happy with it although it’s firmware is somewhat buggy.”
The FO32U2P's stand is minimal and elegant.
“I like the stand on my Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P. It's minimal and elegant.”

“Enjoying a lot this fantastic monitor: the ASUS ROG Strix XG32UCDS”
Their Samsung G60SF's coating is very grainy.
“I have the g60sf and it is very grainy unfortunately”
Their first ultrawide and OLED, the 49-inch G95SD, they're loving so far.
“It’s the 49” G95SD. Really loving it so far”
Finds the MSI MAG 341CQP X28 34-inch ultrawide a great monitor.
“I use the MSI MAG 341CQP QD-OLED X28 34" Ultrawide. Great monitor, 280hz refresh.”
Moving from a 1080p TN to the MSI 322UR X24 has been life changing.
“now I have the 322UR X24 and it's absolutely life changing.”
Their LG 27GX790A-B has perfect text clarity, better than their 27GP850-B IPS; very happy, running it at 80 brightness.
“Well i on my 27GX790A-B dont have Flicker text clarity is perfect mutch better then on my ips 27GP850b”
The Dell S3225QC is used 8–12 hours a day for remote work and gaming with no burn-in.
“I bought a $450 Dell S3225QC (32” 4k qd oled) for my wife’s remote work job and after work gaming. It’s used 8-12 hours a day.”

“I returned my ROG PG34WCDM after 10months, purchased through Amazon”
Got headaches using the 1440p MSI 271QPX E2; a 4K OLED is fine for office work.
“With the 4k I could easily do office work but I had headaches using the MSI 271QPX E2.”
Their matte Samsung G85SD has no reflections at all, unlike their old IPS and VA panels.
“G85SD surprisingly has no reflections at all”
Cleans the Gigabyte FO27Q5P with a damp then dry microfibre cloth, leaving no streaks.
“Worked like a charm for me on my Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q5P.”
Moved from a 32-inch Samsung 4K to the MSI 491CQP after weeks of research for the width.
“I have that same 491CQP OLED.”
Returned the MSI 274QRF-QD E2 four times before getting one without stuck pixels.
“I returned my MSI MAG 274QRF-QD E2 four times until I got one without stuck pixels.”
Very happy with their Gigabyte MO34WQC2 and no eye strain; full-screen brightness could be higher.
“I have a Gigabyte MO34WQC2 qd oled and I have to say I'm very happy with it.”
Their Dell U5226KW's colours and blacks are incredibly impressive for IPS.
“the colours and blacks are incredibly impressive for IPS.”
Their new AW3225QF is brighter than their AW3423DWF by default, light to lift, and shows no text fringing to them.
“Text fringing? What is that? It’s nonexistent to me.”
Their AW3425DW came as a warranty swap for an AW3423DW; it has burn-in after nine months.
“After burn in 9 months after, still fells the old base was nicer than this model”
Their AW3426DW is a good upgrade over the AW3423DW for HDR and refresh rate.
“It's a good upgrade in terms of HDR performance, pixel shift is every 24 hours, and the boost in refresh rate is great”
Their pre-launch AW3423DW is still running great with no real issues.
“I got my AW3423DW 2 weeks before the NA launch via Dells premier program. Still running great.”
No text fringing visible on their AW3423DWF, even sitting close.
“I don't see any text fringing on my AW3423DWF either, and I sit fairly close”
Their MSI 341CQPX showed a Path of Exile HUD burn-in after under 50 hours despite careful use.
“Looks like we have a burn in after 11 days of using it”
Moved from an LG IPS to the AW2725DF for 360Hz, but the constant dimming, dull colour and pixel refresh every few hours annoy them enough to consider returning it.
“The constant dimming image, compared to my previous monitor, simply pisses me off so bad”
Returned the G81SF the same day because its grainy, oily matte coating distracted on light areas.
“I returned it the same day I got it with its extremely oily coating.”
No regrets on the PG32UCDM, but pixel-cleaning prompts every 8 hours are annoying.
“it does get annoying how often it prompts you to do a pixel cleaning cycle, every 8 hours is ridiculous”
Loves the MSI MPG 341CQR X36 34-inch ultrawide: RGB-stripe subpixels mean no text fringing, it's immersive, and causes no eyestrain.
“It's 5th gen so it has rgb stripe, so no text fringing. i love it so much”
Their AOC AG276QZD2 is very glossy but that didn't bother them; colours are good after fixing a slight red tint.
“Colors were good, I found it had a bit of a red tinge out of the box, but that can be fixed with calibration.”
After a firmware update their AW3926QW's colour volume nearly matches their PG32UCDM3, with a little more brightness.
“i am very happy with the monitor so far”
Can't calibrate their AOC CU34G4Z; colours look washed out and off.
“They all look washed out, and the color reproduction seems to be very off.”
Hated the AOC Q27G3XMN's blacks and OSD and sent it back.
“I had it and hated it. Blacks were shit, OSD button menu was atrocious.”
Their glossy Gigabyte MO27Q28GR has almost no gray banding.
“I currently have the gigabyte glossy tandem woled and the gray banding on my unit is almost none.”
Moved from the Neo G9 57-inch to the LG 52G930B; happy so far, with fine colour and HDR highlights and far more height for gaming and work.
“I'm pretty happy with the 52" so far.”
Bought the MSI MPG E16M and it works great after switching the oversaturated default colour profile to Adobe RGB; the companion app doesn't work on Mac.
“I got the MSI MPGE16M and it works great.”
Was happy with the XG27AQDMGR but a high-pitched coil whine in standby forced them to return it.
“I noticed a very high frequency sound (my research said it might be coil whine) **only** when in standby.”
Kept the ASUS 32UCWMG for PS5 Pro after returning two others, but finds depth and colour well below their OLED TVs: a $1,000 disappointment.
“It's... fine? But the sense of depth and the colors just aren't there compared to my TVS.”
Bought the ASUS PG34WCDN and highly recommends it, though it is pricier than other 34-inch 5th-gen QD-OLEDs.
“I grabbed the Asus pg34wcdn. Bit pricey for some but I can highly recommend it for those that are able.”
Has loved it for about a year on a 5080 and 9800X3D.
“I’ve had this monitor for about a year now and I love it. I have a 5080 and 9800x3d .”
Their AW2725Q's screen went blank although the PC still detects it.
“my AW2725Q premium OLED monitor has a blank screen”
Compared with their IPS, the MO27Q28G's colours are only a bit richer but its blacks are perfect and the image more solid.
“on woled, black is just… perfect. zero glow, zero haze.”
Their first unit had banding almost everywhere and went back; the second is much better, with banding only at very low grey levels and some dirty screen effect.
“I got the second XG27AQWMG today (April 2026 batch) and it's so much better. It's still visible in very low grey percentages”
Their AW2726DM is amazing, with no brightness problems unless in a fully lit room.
“i have the AW2726DM and it’s amazing”
Their first OLED, the Samsung G50SF 27-inch, has been fantastic.
“Ordered myself my first OLED last week, Samsung 27” Odyssey OLED G5 (G50SF). It's been fantastic.”
Their Gigabyte FO32U2 developed a dead pixel after about 150 hours.
“I turned it on and I spotted a black dot on it which seems very dissapointing after only about 150 hours”
15,000 hours at 85–100% brightness on their PG27AQDM: only two small burn-in spots visible on solid colours.
“I have the first 27'' OLED monitor ever released (PG27AQDM) with 15,000 hours on time, 85-100% brightness”
Two weeks with the Dell U4025QW on macOS and it's amazing.
“I bought it 2weeks now, and it’s amazing”
Side by side with an LG C1, their new MSI 321URX looked hardly different in HDR.
“Very hard to tell the difference for now, I expected much more from the intense colours on the QD-OLED panel.”
Kept the LG 27GS95QE-B over the ASUS and bought more for the whole family; no retention or burn-in even with paused games left on.
“On the other hand, the LG has had absolutely no issues at all.”
The glossy Acer X27U F5 is vivid and bright, beats a Gigabyte tandem WOLED for brightness, and its KVM and USB-C keep a MacBook charged.
“Picture quality is awesome very vivid and bright.”
Their Acer X27U X1 has great motion clarity for competitive gaming, but HDR and brightness are lacking.
“Motion clarity is great, but HDR and brightness are lacking.”
Their new Acer X34 X5 looks fantastic but occasionally blanks for 2–3 seconds.
“I just got this monitor and it looks fantastic. However ever so often my screen goes black for 2-3seconds then comes back.”
The AW2525HM is great out of the box with beautiful 1080p image and insane refresh rate.
“great monitor out of the box just got mine beautiful image quality especially for 1080p and the refresh rate is insane”
After two defective MSI QD-OLEDs, the PG27AQDP has had no complaints over 1,000+ hours.
“Went with Asus pg27aqdp and no complaints after 1k + hours so far.”
Their XG32UQWMS is very good and their panel has no gray banding.
“I have that monitor (XG32UQWMS) it is very good and my panel has no gray banding”
Super happy with the Gigabyte MO32U24 after 8 months on the MO27Q28G: the new QD-OLED fixed everything they disliked, at half the price of ASUS's version.
“I just bought it a few days ago and I'm super happy with it!”
A couple of days in they noticed banding in Google dark mode and are considering a QD-OLED instead.
“Just picked up this LG 27GX704A-B monitor a couple days ago and noticed some banding yesterday while using Google dark mode.”
Bought the LG 45GX950A and finds its text blurry compared with their Samsung Odyssey G9 QD-OLED.
“I bought this LG 5k2k, but the text looks blurry compared to my Odyssey G9 (G93SC).”
Didn't keep the XG27ACDNG because its text fringing on dark backgrounds was too distracting.
“on the QD Oled it looked like someone splattered RGB vomit on the outline of the letters”
Gaming on the PG27UCDM is mind-blowing, but coding text causes severe eye strain, so they're switching to IPS.
“Gaming is mind-blowing, but text clarity during coding and browsing is causing severe eye strain.”
Coming from 1080p VA, the LG 34GS95QE-B is a huge upgrade and fringing doesn't bother them.
“fringing doesn’t bother me.”
Returned the LG 39GX950B over VRR flicker when 5K2K frame rates dropped, even on an RTX 5090.
“I ended up returning the LG 39GX950B and getting an ASUS PG32UCDM3 instead.”
Four months on the Neo G9 57-inch, mostly for work, beats three 27-inch screens; Teams notifications are easy to miss.
“I have 3 27's in the office and the single 57" is so much better, particularly using Fancy Zones.”
Their open-box ASUS XG27AQNGV overheats and shuts down constantly even at minimum brightness, and Newegg denied the return.
“It is having an issue with overheating and is unusable. It is constantly shutting down even under light usage.”
Their PG27AQWP-W almost never shows banding outside grey-scale tests, and games look unreal.
“I almost never notice the banding unless I actively go and search for it through a grey scale test”
Gave up on the LG 32GS95UE-B; it looked too soft for 4K.
“I tried my hardest using the LG 32GS95UE-B.. Just couldn't do it.”
Next to their LG 27GR95QE-B, a decent Dell IPS looks atrocious.
“Even my SD2721DGF that’s certainly pretty decent for an IPS, looks atrocious compared side-by-side to my LG27GR95QE-B”
Considering returning their PG32UCDM3, mainly because of text clarity.
“I can still return my PG32UCDM3. My biggest issue with oled was text clarity...”
Lightly scratched their MSI 272URX; not visible when on, but annoying.
“Can confirm I have I scratched my MSI MPG 272URX lightly, I can't see it when it's on, so it's fine... but annoying.”
Their 2025 MSI 322URX has no burn-in.
“None of my OLEDs have any burnin. 2021 LG C1, 2022 Alienware AW3423DW, 2025 MSI MPG322URX.”
Thinking of returning their Dell U2725QE over coil whine in standby, a wobbly design and a hard-to-reach joystick, though they like its connectivity.
“return the dell ultrasharp u2725qe because of annoying coil whine in standby, unstable design and the hard to reach joystick on the back.”
Raised blacks on their XG27UCDMG are a non-issue in daylight or with lights on.
“I've since got one myself (XG27UCDMG), and it's a complete non-issue in my room.”
Uses the BenQ EX321UX Mini-LED for everything in any lighting, with OLEDs for dark-room gaming.
“my miniled IPS (BenQ EX321UX) for everything, everytime in all light conditions.”
Their new XG27AQDMG arrived with a dead pixel and is going back.
“I was really hoping this wouldn't happen! Returning it as soon as I can.”
4,000 hours in a year on their FO32U2P.
“I did 4000 hours on my fo32u2p in 1 year”
Their XG32UCDS is buttery smooth with a PS5.
“Idk I have an xg32ucds and it’s buttery smooth in 30/60/+”
Loving the matte Samsung G60SF with no issues from sun, reflections or brightness.
“I'm loving my Samsung g60SF qd OLED but matte, no issues with sun, reflections or brightness”
Bought the anti-glare Samsung G95SD for $950 through the Samsung shop app.
“I got Odyssey G95SD anti glare for $950”
Moved from an AW2725DF to the MSI MPG 322UR on a 4080, wasn't wowed by the extra sharpness for the performance hit, and returned it.
“I've gone from a AW2725DF to MSI MPG 322UR and I've yet to be wowed.”
Doesn't notice text fringing on their MSI MPG 271QR X50.
“I have 15/20 vision and don’t notice any text fringe on my msi mpg 271qr x50”
No graininess or mura on their PG34WCDM.
“Ive had no such issues on my woled, pg34wcdm”
Their MSI 271QPX had bad VRR flicker.
“I had the MSI mag 271qpx and yeah not great with the flicker”
Loves their MSI 274QRF QD IPS bought for under €250; 1440p was a beautiful upgrade.
“I really love my quantum dot IPS monitor, the MSI MAG 274QRF QD.”
Amazed at how clear the AW3225QF is after their ASUS PG27AQDM.
“I have it too and I’m actually amazed at how clear it is going from my PG27AQDM”
Upgraded from a 12-year-old PG278Q to the AW3425DW and loves how Crimson Desert looks.
“I just upgraded to an ultrawide monitor and loving it!”
Next to a VA panel the AW3426DW's image is close, but its motion clarity makes it far better.
“But the motion clarity is what makes the OLED superior for me.”
Their AW3423DW is heavily scratched, but it's not noticeable in use.
“My AW3423DW is scratched to hell, but you cannot notice it no matter what.”
Plans to keep their $499 AW3423DWF for years; 165Hz still feels smooth.
“gonna be rocking my aw3423dwf i got for 499 for years. 165hz is still really smooth to my eyes”
Two weeks with the MSI 341CQPX and couldn't be happier; the ultrawide immersion beats 4K sharpness for them.
“i got a msi 341cqpx 2 weeks ago, i couldnt be more happy with it”
Their AW2725DF died with a colour-screen fault just over a year in; they took a refund rather than another unit.
“Unfortunely my AW2725DF died last week at little more than one year old”
After two months their G81SF shows burn-in, blurry text, low SDR brightness and a grainy coating; they're selling it.
“I bought newest Samsung Odyssey g8 g81sf and after two months i already see burnin interface from Editor I use.”
Their PG32UCDM scratches extremely easily.
“Can confirm, my PG32UCDM got scratched by looking at it wrong.”
Their first OLED, the MSI 341CQR X36, kept changing brightness until they turned off AI dimming, and colour is inconsistent: oversaturated in some apps and games, fine in others.
“I've had some games look fantastic (e.g. Armored Core 6), and other be almost unplayable (Doom Eternal), all due to color.”
For $399 the AOC AG276QZD2 is a great 240Hz QD-OLED for gaming with barebones settings, but text fringing hurts browsing.
“For browsing, leaves a lot to be desired due to some text fringing.”
Coming from a G9 57 and PG35VQ, their AW3926QW has perfect text, contrast and uniformity, no green tint and no fan noise.
“Perfect text clarity, The screen looks amazing out of the box without tweaking”
Their AOC CU34G4Z has noticeable coil whine.
“I know this post is a bit old but I have this same monitor. Anybody else get a decent bit of coil whine?”
Enjoying the AOC Q27G3XMN as a big upgrade with great SDR, but HDR looks dull and greenish.
“The upgrade from my previous MSI G24C4 E2 is great”
Their Gigabyte MO27Q28GR is very bright with amazing HDR, perfect colours and zero banding.
“I have gigabyte mo27q28gr it’s awesome monitor very bright”
Upgraded from an AW3821DW to the LG 52G930B; the curve takes getting used to, but they're falling in love with the format for MSFS and office work.
“I am quickly falling in love with the format and all of the extra real esta”
Uses the MSI MPG E16M Mini-LED for PS5 and PC: HDR looks amazing with no flicker, blooming or black crush.
“I have the MPG version which is more premium tier. Used it for PS5 and PC, the HDR looks amazing”
Upgraded from a 1080p 280Hz IPS to the XG27AQDMGR and regrets not doing it sooner; relying on the 3-year burn-in warranty.
“Asus XG27AQDMGR one i have is 3rd Gen woled”
Tried two XG32UCWMGs: one had a red tint in near-black greys, the other was neutral.
“I have auditioned two XG32UCWMGs and one of them exhibited a red tint in near black greys.”
Their ASUS PG34WCDN occasionally blacks out for a split second while browsing, gaming or idling.
“my monitor will just black screen for a split second and then go back to normal.”
Really great with no banding in blacks; in Resident Evil Requiem its brightness made their Sony OLED TV look weak.
“That screen is really great. Didn’t see any so called banding in black.”
A couple of months with the AW2725Q on the latest firmware and it has been great so far.
“I bought an AW2725Q a couple of months ago and so far it's been great.”
Their new MO27Q28G looked great but had two dead pixels and gray banding obvious in games and Discord, so they're returning it.
“Besides the two dead pixels in the middle of the screen, there is a genuinely unplayable amount of gray banding.”
After 200+ hours the grey banding hasn't improved and they notice it in almost every dark scene in games and movies.
“I thought the monitor would "break in" after about 100 hours, but I've now used it for 200+ and it hasn't improved.”
Their AW2726DM went black for a second every few minutes, so they returned it.
“the display will go black for a second - every few minutes or so”
Owns the Samsung G50SF and uses it for RTS, but prefers console gaming on their LG C5.
“I have an Oled tv (LG C5) as well as an OLED PC Monitor (Samsung G50SF)”
2,747 hours of gaming and home-office use on their FO32U2 with no visible burn-in.
“No visible burn-in on 85% gray, 90% gray, 95% gray”
Over a year with the PG27AQDM and zero burn-in.
“I've had my Asus PG27AQDM for over a year now and zero sign of burn in.”
Their U4025QW's Thunderbolt power wasn't enough for their work laptop.
“I just got the u4025qw but I didn’t account that my laptop would need higher voltage than what the monitors thunderbolt supports”
Their MSI 321URX never shows that much purple tint with a window or lights on.
“I have the msi 321urx. I have tested both with window behind me and light on and never seen this level of purple.”
Returned the LG 27GS95QE-B after four days because text in IDEs and documentation looked blurry.
“The reason I returned my OLED was because text in IDEs or documentation was "blurry" and I could not get used to it after 4 days.”
Bought the Acer X27U F5 for $500: great panel, crazy 500Hz and very glossy.
“Great panel 500Hz is crazy and yes very glossy panel!”
Four days with the glossy Acer X34 X5 bought for $750 and they love it; only the low inputs make cable hiding awkward.
“I’ve had about 4 days and I agree I love it too. The only thing I don’t like is that inputs are low”
All three AW2525HM units they received had dead or stuck pixels, so they gave up and refunded.
“I’ve gone through THREE different units of this monitor. Every single one had dead/stuck pixels.”
Their two-month-old PG27AQDP shows residue lines and artefacts that pixel cleaning only partly clears.
“Running pixel cleaner helps but it still shows awful lines and artifacts.”
No banding or text fringing on their XG32UQWMS in a sunny room; only VRR brightness flicker. The proximity sensor is a big plus against burn-in.
“I cant see any banding on my XG32UQWMS.”
Coming from the AW2725Q, finds the Gigabyte MO32U24 amazing: a brighter panel with much less raised blacks in a bright room.
“i completely agree with you, this monitor is simply amazing.”
Owns the LG 27GX704A-B, one of the cheapest OLEDs locally, with a beautiful glossy finish and a non-gamer look.
“i have a lg 27gx704ab, it was one of the cheapest oled in my country, it has a beautiful glossy finish”
After about a year on a PG32UCDMR, compared both LG 5K2K monitors and kept the 45GX950A-B for the best immersion in single-player games and sims.
“I personnaly kept the LG45GX950A-B.”
Glad they switched to the XG27ACDNG.
“returned it and got a xg27acdng and so far I’m glad I switched”
Returned the PG27UCDM: awesome for gaming and media, terrible for other work, and the ABL bothered them.
“It was awesome panel for media consumption / gaming but for other stuff it was terrible. And I absolutely can't stand automatic brightness limiter.”
4,000 hours on their LG 34GS95QE-B with zero burn-in and no special care.
“4000 hours on a 34GS95QE-B, zero burn in. I let it do its thing, i take no steps on my end.”
The LG 39GX950B-B is the best monitor they've used; its 5K2K panel is divine and finally makes use of their RTX 5090.
“The 5K2K panel is absolutely divine and it actually drives my 9800x3d/RTX 5090 rig properly!”
Text is razor sharp on the Neo G9 57-inch, a clear step up from the 49-inch; they wouldn't swap it for OLED.
“The text is razor Sharp on the 57", is a noticeable improvement over the 49".”
The PG27AQWP-W has amazing HDR brightness and the best coating they've seen, but its grey banding and dirty screen effect were unacceptable.
“the grey banding and dirty screen effect really is just unacceptable”
4,683 hours on their LG 32GS95UE-B, now at 100% brightness, with no burn-in.
“4683 hour and no burning”
Their LG 27GR95QE-B is in perfect condition after three years and 5,000 hours of heavy but careful use.
“My LG 27GR95QE-B OLED still in perfect condition after 3years of heavy but carefull use. 5000h of use”
Swapped a PG27UCDM for the PG32UCDM3 and absolutely loves it; won't go back to 27 inches.
“I have the PG32UCDM3 and absolutely love it.”
Their MSI 272URX's glossy coating has survived glass cleaner and a controller knock perfectly.
“My dumbass used a micro weave cloth and glass cleaner multiple times on my 272URX and its perfectly fine.”
Tried a glossy Alienware 1440p, then got the MSI 322URX; colours and darks are wildly better.
“I just got the 322urx and the difference is actually wild.”
Almost 4,000 hours on their XG27UCDMG; they can never go back.
“Almost 4k hours on my XG27UCDMG. I can never go back”
Returned the XG27AQDMG over black crush in dark gradients, though its text looked clean.
“Be aware of “black crush” - cant display smooth transitioned gradient which gets worse with lower brightness”
1.5 years of 6–20 hours a day at max brightness on their FO32U2P with no burn-in.
“I’m using AORUS FO32U2P (Samsung 3rd gen panel) 1.5 years every day 6-20 hours per day”
Their ASUS XG32UCDS shows slight banding on the right in grayscale tests but none in everyday use.
“My monitor is XG32UCDS.”
Over a month with the Samsung G95SD after a 34-inch VA ultrawide: incredibly happy, with vibrant colours, inky blacks and great immersion.
“So far, I'm incredibly happy with it, colours are super vibrant, blacks are inky”
Their ASUS PG34WCDM burned in in under a year, while their Samsung G8 OLED has none after several years.
“I got burn in on my pg34wcdm in less than a year”
Bought the MSI 271QPX E2 for €380, a steal; the QD-OLED purple tint in a bright room is exaggerated.
“This is the mag 271qpx qd oled e2 and I got if for 380 euros.. What a steal.”
A week with the AW3225QF on Xbox Series X: a massive upgrade from their Alienware IPS, with true blacks and lifelike HDR; Dolby Vision didn't impress.
“It feels like looking outside into a scene through a window I’m not even joking.”
Their AW3425DW feels premium with excellent colour and smoothness, a huge step up from their PG279Q, but text clarity is mediocre and it has coil whine.
“HUGE step up from my Asus PG279Q, which I have owned and used daily since release in 2016.”
Kept the AW3426DW over the MSI 341CQR X36: near-identical image, a very good price and Dell's advance-exchange warranty.
“I've decided to keep the Dell AW3426DW and cancel the return.”
Their first AW3423DW arrived with marks; support replaced it without hassle.
“My first aw3423dw came with these as well.”
Happy with their AW3423DWF after 3.5 years of heavy daily use, with burn-in only from a browser bar.
“I do have some burn in with it after 3.5 years (using it 8-12h a day for work and gaming, 75% brightness setting)”
Their MSI 341CQPX sometimes crushes dark HDR media, which they suspect is EOTF tracking.
“I have noticed this kind of crush on the odd bit of media now and then on my MSI 341CQPX.”
Loves their AW2725DF but suggests something brighter for a well-lit room.
“I love my AW2725DF, but maybe you can find something brighter that works better in well-lit rooms.”
Plays 8–11 hours a day on their 32-inch G81SF without manual refreshes.
“Ive been playing 8-11 hours lately on my Samsung 32” G81SF and I never do a refresh lol”
Sold their fantastic PG32UCDM because 10+ hours of daily work made burn-in care stressful; slight text fringing too.
“I had as PG32UCDM. Fantastic monitor. 4K, 240hz, OLED is a sight to be seen.”
Their MSI 341CQR X36 showed lines right after a prompted pixel refresh that persisted after more refreshes, a cable swap and a reset.
“straight after it finished these lines showed up.”
Finds reds a bit washed out on their AOC AG276QZD2 and expected more from HDR.
“I have this monitor and I find the red a bit "washed"”
Their AW3926QW arrived dead on arrival.
“Mine showed up dead on arrival. Absolutely livid”
No smearing in BF6, WoW or CS2 on their AOC CU34G4Z, and readability is excellent.
“Literally 0 smear in games.”
Their AOC Q27G3XMN is amazing with real HDR content.
“i have the same monitor, it's amazing when you have HDR content on, like a game or movie”
After owning the PG27UCDM and PG32UCDM, the glossy Gigabyte MO27Q28GR impressed them enough to replace their Mini-LED, though SDR is dimmer.
“I never thought that I would be impressed by a 1440p OLED monitor again”
Happy with the LG 52G930B for work and gaming; a noticeable upgrade over a triple-monitor setup.
“I've been very happy with picture quality regardless, its a noticeable upgrade over my triple PX7 Prime setup.”
Bought the MSI MPG E16M for €390 and is happy with it on a PS5 and a MacBook Pro.
“Recently got the MSI UPG 27URDFW E16M for 390€ and am happy with it.”
Received the glossy GR variant (XG27AQDMGR) and loves it; no gray banding yet in games.
“I also got the GR variant, received it today and I love how beautiful the glossy screen looks”
Their ASUS XG32UCWMG blacked out briefly with a long HDMI cable until firmware MCM105 fixed it.
“My UCWMG did this with my long HDMI cable”
1,200 hours since June on the ASUS PG34WCDN, half work and half gaming at 60% brightness, with no burn-in.
“I don't have any burn in (so far).”
Not happy with it: they cite banding, mura and near-black artifacts typical of tandem WOLED panels.
“I have LG 27GX700A-B and I am not happy with it, but I am talking in general about Tandem WOLED”
Their AW2725Q went black after months of use and Dell only offered a refurbished unit; they now advise against it.
“The power LED is lit, but the screen remains black.”
Their new MO27Q28G has a fine matte coating that trades a little clarity for no reflections and excellent ambient light handling.
“I like it's very fine mate coating”
After two RMAs the last one fixed 90% of the issues, but expecting banding or DSE to come back they are weighing the refund.
“After 2 RMAs, I was offered a refund option for my monitor. I must admit, this last RMA solved 90% of the issues”
Their $350 AW2726DM is noticeably dimmer than their old ASUS IPS in a bright room but a solid HDR and image-quality upgrade.
“In reality, blacks are much deeper and the image has more pop”
9,110 hours on their FO32U2 with no burn-in, but a purple tint, weak coating and imperfect HDR 1000; still happy overall.
“I have 9110 hours on my FO32U2 after 2 years and no burn in.”
Image retention on their PG27AQDM was not fixed by ten firmware updates; HDR image quality issues too, and poor ASUS support.
“I had similar experience with Asus PG27AQDM and not solved even after ten firmware updates.Not to mention HDR image quality issues.”
Used the Dell U4025QW at work: awesome for productivity with good IPS Black contrast, but slow response and smearing for games.
“If your primary focus is productivity, and you really don't care about gaming almost at all, then it is an awesome monitor.”
A few weeks with the MSI 321URX: working in sunlight isn't as bad as people claim.
“I started using QD OLED (MSI MPG321URX) a few weeks ago. To be honest working with the sun shining on the screen is not that bad”
Moving from a 240Hz IPS, the Acer X27U F5 was a disappointment: little visible gain from 500Hz and only slightly better colour after calibration.
“500hz doesn't look much different from 240, and the colors were maybe about 10% better after calibrated.”
Two months with the Acer X34 X5: a hidden gem, and the remote is handy for refresh prompts.
“i have that screen for 2 month now and i swear this is truly a hidden gem”
Their AW2525HM is perfect: no bleed, no dead pixels, good black uniformity.
“Mine is perfect. No bleed, no dead pixels, very good black uniformity”
Loves the PG27AQDP with no negatives; 480Hz is worth it with a PC that can push high frame rates.
“I love it I can't think of a single negative thing about it.”
Their XG32UQWMS had high-pitched coil whine from the moment it powered on, so they returned it the next day.
“As soon as I powered it on: immediate high pitch coil whine.”
A few days in, obsessed with the MO32U24, an upgrade from a 27-inch 1440p IPS that's worth every dollar at its $800 sale price.
“I got my MO32U24 a few days ago and I’m obsessed with it.”
The glossy LG 27GX704A-B looks amazing in single-player games, but VRR flicker ruins shooters and they play worse than on their old 360Hz IPS.
“G-sync is worthless on these panels since the flickering will literally give you a headache in 5 seconds”
Really liked their LG 45GX950A-B and its immersion, but it was less sharp and less colourful than the AW3926QW, so they're selling it.
“I already had the LG, and really liked the monitor but wanted a glossy screen with better colour reproduction.”
After six months their XG27ACDNG has bad banding that makes horror games miserable; they are looking into RMA.
“I know this banding is pretty awful so I'm not about to ask if it's acceptable haha”
After a week with a friend's PG27UCDM, they found its text clarity amazing.
“its text clarity is legit amazing.”
The LG 34GS95QE-B was amazing for gaming but its text clarity was so poor they returned it immediately.
“The text clarity on the LG WOLED was absolute dogshit compared to the AW QD-OLED.”
Kept the LG 39GX950B over the ASUS PG34WCDN: sharper 5K2K, much brighter HDR, useful dual mode, and a matte coating that keeps blacks deep with windows open.
“Not only did the coating not ruin it, it actually solved a problem I didn’t fully appreciate.”
Owning both, the Neo G9 57-inch beats the G9 OLED on height, PPI, resolution and HDR brightness.
“I had both OLED and the G9 57, but the G9 57 wins as best monitor category”
Their new PG27AQWP-W has horrible banding even on a fairly good panel.
“I don't understand how people cope with the banding; it's horrible (and I even somewhat won the panel lottery).”
Heavy gaming and work use since release on their LG 32GS95UE with zero visible burn-in.
“Bought on release, use it heavily for both gaming/WFH (4-12 hours a day).”
For a developer, the PG32UCDM3's text clarity rivals a Dell 4K IPS and handles bright light better, but the stand can't go low enough and full-screen brightness could be higher.
“As a dev, I can tell you text clarity on the PG32UCDM3 is comparable to dell 4K matte IPS.”
Their MSI 272URX's auto-switching KVM handles gaming PC and work Mac; not as bright as others but great for both.
“The main tradeoff is that it is not as bright as other monitors. It has, however, been great for both tasks.”
Their new MSI 322URX runs much cooler than their Samsung non-OLED.
“Interesting, my new MSI 322URX is far less hotter than my Samsung Non-OLED.”
Their XG27UCDMG picked up micro scratches just from microfibre cleaning; they have to be extra careful with it.
“I've mainly noticed a decent amount of microscratches and finish issues on one side of the bezel just from using a microfiber cloth”
Returned their XG27AQDMG for two dead pixels.
“Had two dead pixels on my aqdmg, returned it and got a xg27acdng”
About 10,000 hours on their FO32U2P since April 2024, used for work from home, with no burn-in.
“My FO32U2P OLED monitor has \~10,000 accumulative hours since April 2024, still no signs of burn-in.”
Upgraded from an Acer Predator X34 to the Samsung G95SD and finds the 32:9 aspect worth the wait.
“Upgraded to the G95SD from a 34" 21:9 (I had an Acer Predator X34) around the same time as well!”
Loves their MSI 271QPX; the upgrade to OLED is massive.
“I have the 271qpx and I love it.”
A few days with the AW3225QF on PC and PS5: games look incredible and much clearer than their VA ultrawide, which they keep for coding.
“Just picked up the AW3225QF a few days ago and it’s been amazing so far.”
Their new AW3425DW is silent, adds 240Hz and HDMI 2.1 over the AW3423DWF and looks better; they rate it 11/10.
“And the best part ZERO COIL WHINE. SILENT AS A CHURCH MOUSE.”
Switching from a Samsung G81SF, the AW3426DW has neutral whites out of the box, punchy HDR, a clear glossy coating and improved V-stripe text, though they miss 4K sharpness.
“The glossy coating instead of a matte finish makes the image look very clear and vibrant.”
Their AW3423DW warranty replacement arrived damaged and worse than the original.
“they sent me one with physical damage and the same issue as my original but 10x worse”
Their AW3423DWF has loud coil whine, eased by a slightly lower refresh rate.
“my AW3423DWF also has loud coil whine, though running the monitor at a lower refresh rate reduces it significantly.”
Bought the MSI MPG 341CQPX with their first gaming PC and loves it.
“got my first gaming pc this year, then bought a mpg 341cqpx”
Their new AW2725DF keeps dropping to a black screen and firmware updating couldn't detect it.
“My new AW2725DF monitor keeps just "poping off" to a black screen.”
Their warehouse-bought PG32UCDM arrived with a cracked panel corner.
“bought it because the PG32UCDM I had bought first from warehouse had a crack in the panel corner.”
Owns the MSI 341CQR X36 and the AW3926QW; the X36 is perfect to them.
“The X36 is perfect in my eyes”
HDR on their AOC AG276QZD2 looks dull even with maxed vibrance, costs fps, and HDR 1000 mode makes it power-loop.
“it will be so dull compared to dim SDR”
Their AW3926QW flickered twice and went blank on arrival; Dell is arranging an RMA.
“Mine arrived 28th July, flickered twice and went blank, OSD menu can’t even get booted.”
On Xbox their AOC CU34G4Z shows no HDR or sync and blurs in Warzone, and its OSD looks poorly tuned.
“OSD, the font is 'blocky', seems poorly tuned out of the box”
Their AOC Q27G3XMN's HDR looked dull and greenish with Nvidia but fine after switching to Radeon.
“I used to have the same exact problem with my Q27G3XMN when I had a Geforce card”
Uses the Gigabyte MO27Q28GR for browsing and YouTube: text is about 95% as good as IPS, but gray banding and dirty-screen effect are there.
“Text is fine, no real complaints here, let’s say 95% as good as an IPS.”
Switched from the Samsung Neo G9 57-inch to the LG 52-inch 5K2K and is keeping it: contrast is fine, it is too bright to max on the desktop, and they see no ghosting or smearing at 240 Hz.
“I switched from the Neo G9 57 to the LG 52.”
Owns the MSI MPG E16M: not as good as a good OLED, but crisp text and no burn-in worry.
“I have one and its a good monitor. It does not beat a good OLED but you can use this one without fear of burnin and the text is crisp”
Moved from a Samsung Neo G8 Mini-LED to the XG27AQDMGR and finds it much better for less money.
“Now I have a asus 3rd gen woled xg27aqdmgr (2nd gen) and it’s much much better for lower price”
Their ASUS XG32UCWMG is good apart from harsh ABL dimming; they got a panel without gray banding.
“Besides the ABL dimming that feels like your getting flash banged the monitor is good.”
Their ASUS PG34WCDN has one dead pixel.
“yep, have 1 dead pixel on my PG34WCDN which is the same panel”
Bought the LG 27GX700A-B for $384; looks really good, especially in dark scenes, but gray banding shows in some light-gray areas.
“However, overall, it looks really good especially in dark areas”
No black-screen or HDR problems with their AW2725Q, bought far cheaper than the ASUS XG27UCDMG.
“ive had a wqhd woled before it looks the same to me, also in hdr, no issues at all”
Returned their MO27Q28G over vertical banding.
“i had to return my mo27q28g cause of verrical bandings sadly”
Owned since July 2026: the banding line seems to fade after 700 hours, with no burn-in and only occasional image retention.
“I'm aware of the line, but it seems to start to get less after 700h. I've had it since July 2026.”
Their AW2726DM looks amazing in SDR, bright enough by a window, but HDR looks washed out and flat.
“the colors are vibrant, the true blacks were stunning”
Never notices purple tint on their Gigabyte FO32U2 in a semi-bright room.
“I have fo32u2, never noticed a purple tint unless I shone with a flashlight”
Two years with the PG27AQDM on almost constantly with no precautions and no burn-in visible in normal use.
“I've got PG27AQDM that is 2 years old at this point and has been on pretty much constantly with zero precautions”
Owned the Dell U4025QW and found it not a good gaming monitor.
“I had the U4025QW and it's not a good gaming monitor, keep waiting guys”
After a year of daily work use, the MSI 321URX's forced OLED care cycles lock them out daily and its KVM misbehaves; image quality is only slightly better than LCD.
“You get slightly better image quality in games and in return you are randomly locked out of your computer for up to 5 minutes each day”
Their new Acer X27U F5 doesn't look much better than their IPS so far.
“Doesn't look much better than my ips all ive done is put it on hdr tho”
Kept the Acer X34 X5 and loves it, with nothing negative to say.
“I genuinely have nothing negative to say about it, it's been wonderful and I'm so glad I got it!”
Having used both, the AW2525HM is much better for FPS than the TCL 25G64.
“i can guarantee that alienware is much more better to fps then tcl!”
4,500 hours on their PG27AQDP with no burn-in and beautiful colours.
“4500hr on my pg27aqdp no burn in what so ever at all.”
Bought the XG32UQWMS for $700 coming from VA, a huge leap; colours look great, brightness is okay unless light hits the screen.
“I got the Uqwms form Newegg for 700 usd. I was coming from a va panel so it was a huge leap for me.”
Owns the Gigabyte MO32U24 and is super satisfied with zero complaints.
“I have the gigabyte and I’m honestly super satisfied zero complaints about it.”
Returned the LG 27GX704A-B a few days in because of VRR flicker.
“Returned it few days ago because of vrr flicker.”
Owns the LG 45GX950A and had the 39GX950B; both have CPC dimming that can't be turned off permanently, which they hate.
“I hate CPC with a passion.”
Loved the XG27ACDNG for gaming and photo work, but its 1440p text clarity bothered them enough to sell it.
“I loved the monitor, it was absolutely gorgeous. I used for gaming and photo/color work. I will say that the text clarity got to me.”
The PG27UCDM caused eye strain at first, which went away after lowering brightness and tuning text; 240Hz and HDR won them over.
“At first I had the same issues eye strain and headaches and the image didn't felt as crispier at the start, after a while they disappeared”
7,900 hours on their LG 34GS95QE-B since August 2024, mostly work, with no visible burn-in.
“LG27GS95QEB 7200 hours and LG34GS95QEB 7900 hours”
The 39GX950B is growing on them, but the matte coating disappoints and colour is never accurate however it's tuned.
“The 39GX950B is growing on me, but I won’t lie the matte is a bit frowny face.”
Four months on the Neo G9 57-inch for gaming and work has met expectations, though DP 1.4 on an RTX 4090 limits it to 120Hz.
“I use it for both gaming and work and it has fully lived up to my expectations.”
A month with the PG27AQWP-W: fantastic, with none of the typical tandem OLED issues, though expensive.
“I’ve been using the pg27aqwp-w for about a month and it’s fantastic. I don’t have any of the typical tandem oled issues.”
Next to a PG32UCDM, the matte LG 32GS95UE looks nearly the same in games and video, apart from whites.
“there's not much of a noticable difference in image quality when watching videos or playing games.”
The PG32UCDM3 is brighter and more vibrant than the PG32UCDMR they returned, and 32 inches is the sweet spot for 4K.
“First thing I wanna say is that it’s a lot brighter than I expected.”
Their MSI 272URX has one dead pixel, too few for RMA, but they almost never see it.
“I have a dead pixel on my 272URX, sadly RMA requires at least 3 dead pixels.”
A year with the MSI 322URX, dusted with a blower and covered when off, and it's still like new.
“1 year and my MSI MPG322URX's screen are still shiny as good as new.”
Two weeks with the XG27UCDMG and they wonder why they waited so long.
“So last 2 weeks, I found offer of XG27UCDMG, jump on it.”
Text clarity on their XG27AQDMG bothered them a lot until MacType and larger fonts helped.
“I use Asus XG27AQDMG and the text clarity bothered me a lot.”
Their FO32U2P looks fine after 4,288 hours, using dark mode and a blank screen when idle.
“my FO32U2P has 4288 hours and 498 cleanings and looks fine”
Got a Samsung G95SD from Amazon Warehouse for €590 total, and it arrived flawless.
“Monitor itself: absolutely flawle”
Text fringing is a non-issue on their MSI 271QPX E2 at 1440p.
“At 1440p, its a non-issue on my MSI 271QPX E-2.”
Uses the AW3225QF with a PS5 Pro and is very satisfied.
“I use AW3225QF from PS5 PRO, incredible experience, great satisfaction”
As a designer staring at text, they see little text difference between their new AW3425DW and their LG IPS ultrawide.
“I can hardly tell that there is a difference between it and my LG 1440p IPS UW side by side.”
Returned the AW3426DW: brighter and more vivid than an AW3423DW, but no step up in size or pixel density.
“I ultimately returned it because it didn’t really offer a new experience in terms of size or pixel density.”
Nearly 3.5 years and over 10,000 hours on the AW3423DW with no visible burn-in.
“I'm at almost 3.5yrs with my AW3423DW, well north of 10K hours of use.”
The coil whine on their AW3423DWF drives them insane.
“The coil whine on my AW3423DWF drives me insane”
Their AW2725DF shows VRR flicker with both bundled and certified cables, gone with G-Sync off, and blanks on HDR transitions.
“It actually disappears if you just turn off Gsync.”
Switching from an LG C2, the G81SF's matte coating took getting used to, but after tuning they barely notice a difference.
“The matte coating took some getting used to, but after adjusting the color and settings, I barely notice a difference.”
Works on the PG32UCDM with the shades open without any issue.
“I have the PG32UCDM, and I do work in my room with the shades open, without any issue”
Both their MSI 341CQR X36 and an AW3426DW arrived with dead pixels.
“I was very exited to get my first ultrawide but I am losing the monitor lottery.”
Their new AOC AG276QZD2 set up effortlessly with no dead pixels.
“Just unboxed mine and got it set up. No dead pixels. Effortless setup.”
Their replacement AW3926QW looks much better, but whites still dim greyish at the edges.
“I got a replacement from them awhile back and this panel finally looks a lot better”
Owns the AOC Q27G3XMN: great HDR and contrast, with light smearing and occasional VRR flicker in loading screens.
“Hi, I own the G3XMN, it’s a great monitor. Solid HVA panel. Great HDR performance.”
Their first OLED, the Gigabyte MO27Q28GR, makes HDR games so beautiful they stop to look around.
“Man, I can't believe how different Gaming can be with a beautiful monitor.”
Owns the LG 52-inch 5K2K: unbeatable for productivity and pretty good for gaming for a VA panel, though they miss OLED; preferred it to the flat Dell 52-inch.
“For productivity, it can’t be beat and is honestly everything I wanted.”
Uses the MSI MPG E16M with a PS5 and two laptops; after an LG G2 OLED TV, the Mini-LED looks amazing with well-controlled blooming and a handy 1080p 320Hz dual mode.
“I think the Mini-LED approach is also amazing.”
Bought an open-box XG27AQDMGR for $279; in a dark room it looks amazing.
“found this open-box ASUS XG27AQDMGR OLED monitor with only 49 hours of use for $279!”
Their first 4K WOLED, the ASUS XG32UCWMG, is insane for gaming.
“This is my first 4k WOLED panel for gaming and wow it’s insane.”
The ASUS PG34WCDN was incredible: smooth 360Hz, crystal-clear text and a great glossy coating, but it felt like an upgrade rather than a change, so they returned it.
“Text is crystal clear. I was easily able to use it for work with zero strain”
Likes HDR gaming on their LG 27GX700A-B with an RX 9070 XT; dislikes the local price.
“What i like the most about my LG 27GX700A-B(Semi-gloss) is gaming on HDR with RX 9070xt”
Rates the AW2725Q the best value 27-inch 4K OLED thanks to frequent sales and Dell's advance-replacement warranty.
“in my opinion it’s the best bang for the buck 27” 4K OLED monitor.”
Loving the MO27Q28G after 140 hours, but grey banding still shows in some games despite 240Hz, so they requested a replacement.
“I bought the MO27Q28G and I've used it for a total of 140 hours and about 28 pixel cleans, I'm loving it.”
Really good and one of the best OLED monitors to them, though it has grey banding and the glossy panel picks up micro scratches from a cloth.
“İ am using the exact same model, it is really good but have 2 bad sides, first grey bending obviously”
Their new AW2726DM flickers every few minutes in games, browsing and video whatever the settings.
“I’ve noticed random flickers happening, not just in games, but also while browsing the web or watching Netflix.”
Moved from a Samsung Neo G7 to the Gigabyte FO32U2 and wouldn't trade back, despite the Neo being brighter.
“my old and now sold Neo G7 was albeit much more brighter than my new Gigabyte FO32U2, it was inferior to OLED in every possible way.”
Owns the PG27AQDM and an LG 27GN850-B IPS; the OLED clearly beats the IPS side by side.
“I have a LG 27GN850-B (which to my understanding is one of the most popular IPS monitors) and a ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM”
Their Dell U4025QW's 140 PPI keeps macOS text sharp, unlike their old AW3821DW.
“I'm currently using a U4025QW with 140 PPI which is enough to not get blurry text in macOS.”
Over a year of 14-hour days on the MSI 321URX: panel-protect pops up mid-meeting, re-detection is flaky and it shuffles Mac windows.
“the panel protect is INSANELY annoying- literally does pop up sometimes when im in a meeting or in game”
Loves the new Acer X34 X5, but G-Sync flickers in some games and menus.
“Only issue I'm seeing is g-sync flicker when playing specific games”
Their first AW2525HM had a broken joystick; the replacement is good with nice sharpness control, but the stand is atrocious.
“Only thing is the stand is atrocious and dark stabalizer (Alienwares black equalizer) looks pretty washed out.”
After a 27-inch MSI OLED gave them eye strain, they were really happy with the matte PG27AQDP.
“I bought the asus PG27AQDP and was really happy with it.”
Their first OLED, the ASUS XG32UQWMS bought new for $699, has great text clarity and little visible banding; worth it at that price.
“Overall it's a very great moniter for me, text clarity is great and don't see any fringing”
After an XG32UCWMG with harsh ABL, the Gigabyte MO32U24's smooth roll-off makes it their favourite OLED so far.
“The mo32u24 has smooth roll off with ABL with its high peak brightness mode, it’s my favorite OLED monitor so far”
Their first OLED, the LG 27GX704A-B, has great colour, but yellow outlines show green or red fringes.
“The colors are great , the text clarity could be worse”
Underwhelmed by the LG 45GX950A-B's HDR next to their LG OLED TVs: it looks dimmer and colours more toned down.
“When I set up the 45”, though, I was a bit underwhelmed.”
Their ASUS XG27ACDNG is notably dim when bright content fills most of the screen.
“the asus in particular is bad when bright content takes most of the screen.”
The PG27UCDM is good but not as game-changing as hyped, with motion blur and eye fatigue; they prefer IPS for shooters.
“Do I like my OLED yeah for most parts its good but idk if its just that its 4k but for FPS I still rather use my 27GL850.”
5,417 hours of gaming, coding and work on their LG 34GS95QE-B since October 2024 with no visible burn-in.
“Used for both personal and work-related stuff: gaming, movies, streams, and coding”
Their open-box LG 39GX950B was excellent and very close to the AW3926QW, but they preferred glossy and returned the LG.
“The LG was excellent too.”
Replaced a two-monitor setup with a single Neo G9 57-inch; the size and resolution are perfect.
“Went from a two monitor setup - 49” main and 35” vertical to now a single Neo G9 57” and it’s amazing.”
In a very bright room the XG27UCDMG QD-OLED looked terrible, so they tried the PG27AQWP-W and fell in love despite 1440p.
“I got the tandem to test out & fell in love with it, even though it was 1440p.”
After a year on the matte LG 32GS95UE, they found a glossy rival barely different side by side.
“I've been using a matte LG32GS95UE for a little over a year now.”
Returned a PG27UCDM as too small and is happy with the PG32UCDM3.
“I returned the 27 and now I have PG32UCDM3. Now i‘m happy with my setup.”
A year with the MSI 272URX and never any VRR flicker, using G-Sync and V-Sync with a 224fps cap.
“I had my MSI 272URX for a year now and have never experienced it.”
The MSI 322URX, bought last year, completely changed their gaming with no issues.
“I got the MSI 322urx last year and it’s completely changed my gaming experience.”
Bought a floor-model XG27UCDMG with 4,134 hours and it has zero burn-in.
“I got the XG27UCDMG for $350. It was a floor model and it had 4,134 hours of use when I bought it. It has literally 0 burn-in at all.”
Their XG27AQDMG showed boot-logo image retention within three weeks, needing several pixel cleans or power cycles.
“Had this happened just three weeks into owning mine, with less than 30 on hours.”
Cleaning the FO32U2P with a microfiber cloth left streaks in the coating that alcohol did not remove; they admit rubbing hard.
“I tried to clean the panel a couple of days ago with microfiber cloth that I’ve been using since I’ve purchased the panel (FO32U2P) and I think I damaged the coating?”
A month in, they love the AW3225QF's colours, not just its blacks.
“It is a gorgeous display, I really love my AW3225QF.”
Their AW3425DW has no coil whine and outstanding colour and contrast, but a red tint in ambient light, bad VRR flicker and no audio out.
“The only thing I really don't like is the subtle red hue in ambient light.”
The AW3426DW's RGB-stripe text clarity is immaculate, even better than their old VA ultrawide in games.
“I got the new dell aw3426dw this week and the text clarity is immaculate.”
Their second-hand AW3423DW got burn-in and Dell replaced it without fuss.
“Dell just replaced it with a newer model a couple of weeks ago due to burn-in.”
Their AW3423DWF flickers so badly in Darktide that they had to disable G-Sync.
“My AW3423DWF has it horribly in this game to the point where I just had to disable G-Sync”
Flicker on their new AW2725DF went away after switching to the bundled DisplayPort cable.
“But when I switched to the cable that came with the new AW2725DF, the issue went away.”
Their Samsung G81SF developed burn-in after about four months; their first and last OLED.
“Odyssey G81SF i have burn in after 4 months or so.”
Everything looks phenomenal on their PG32UCDM, in HDR or SDR.
“even though I have the Pg32ucdm, everything looks phenomenal hdr or sdr.”
Owns the MSI 341CQR X36 and rates its screen, KVM, 360Hz and RGB-stripe text clarity for mixed work and gaming.
“I have the X36 so I might come off as being biased but the MSI has the better screen, KVM, 360hz”
Everything looks awesome on their new AOC AG276QZD2, but G-Menu won't detect it.
“I just got this monitor and everything looks awesome on it.”
Upgraded from an AW3225QF: the AW3926QW is more immersive and productive with KVM and USB-C, but warmer with less HDR contrast.
“The 39's widescreen is amazing for immersion and a huge step-up for productivity.”
No visible black smearing on their AOC Q27G3XMN in fast shooters.
“I have this screen, zero black smearing. Atleast nothing the human eye can see.”
Returned the MO27Q28GR after ten pixel cleanings failed to fix grey banding that was obvious in dark areas and apps like Notion.
“I bougt a MO27Q28GR and ended up returning it after just a few days.”
Moved from a Samsung 49-inch VA to the LG 52-inch 5K2K and won't go back: the extra height makes it worth every penny, with no complaints for work or gaming.
“I went from the 49" Samsung VA DQHD to the LG 52" 5K2K and I am never going back.”
After five months of productivity use, they'd skip the MSI 274URDFW E16M: firmware makes SDR local dimming washed out, edges dim, and the stand wobbles.
“I would skip this monitor even though on paper it seems the most appealing out of all the monitors using this same panel - and it all comes down the MSI's firmware.”
With identical settings, their XG27AQDMGR shows an obvious gray haze and less colour depth than their older XG27AQDMG.
“theres a VERY obvious gray haze over the screen as visualized here.”
After testing QD-OLED, WOLED, matte and glossy monitors, kept the glossy XG32UCWMG as the best balance.
“ended up keeping ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG. It is simply stunning and offers perfect balance of everything.”
The PG34WCDN is a nice, accurate panel, but 1440p felt like a big PPI downgrade from their 4K monitors.
“The PG34WCDN is a nice panel, but it doesn’t feel like an upgrade.”
Their LG 27GX700A-B wasn't impressive out of the box, but after tuning settings they're much happier.
“Out of the box I was not impressed but after dialing it in I was much much happier.”
Upgrading from an ASUS XG27AQDMG, the AW2725Q is extremely sharp with vibrant colour, bright enough daily and no eye strain.
“Everything is extremely sharp and text clarity is super, duper crisp.”
Their MO27Q28G shows some banding on grey screens at low brightness, like the Premiere Pro interface.
“I've had banding issues as well on gray screens when the brightness is down”
Won over by the glossy finish and blacks; little banding noticed in games.
“From the very first moment, I was won over by its glossy finish and how it renders black”

“I've had the AW3425DW for almost a year now. It's the best purchase I made.”
Moved through an LG 34-inch and AW3418DW to the AW3426DW and finds 34 inches the sweet spot.
“i owned the original LG 34" way back in the day and then moved to the aw3418dw to a aw3426dw”
Their AW3423DW is plenty bright at half brightness in a dark room, but daylight washes out its blacks.
“in my room that I use it in which is dark I run it at 50% brightness which is about 120 nits and it's plenty bright”
Their AW3423DWF's pixel response is much better than their LG IPS.

“there certainly is a difference in the whites, and websites I frequent with white and black backgrounds suddenly felt more contrast with more pop.”
Their LG 27GX700A-B has bad gray banding that pixel refresh didn't fix, their third problem OLED, so they're done with OLED.
“because I thought yall were crybabies who was exaggerating the banding and were also lying about pixel refresh not fixing”
Driver contrast tweaks fixed the washed-out blacks on their AW2725Q enough that HDR looks gorgeous to them.
“This actually temporarily 'fixed' the washed out blacks for my AW2725Q.”

“It Looks stunning, no competition from the Inder Matt Panel.”
After 2 years 3 months and 11,481 hours, their LG 32GS95UE has the Windows taskbar burned in; manual pixel cleaning didn't help.
“After 2 years and 3 months totaling 11481 hours, my LG 32GS95UE has Windows taskbar burned in.”

“Got a FO32U2P myself for a huge discount around 6 months ago too.”
Coming from a 360Hz PG27AQN, the AW3225QF's curve kills reflections in a bright room and clarity helps spot enemies; they'd keep one without scratches.
“The curve curbs (no pun intended) reflections— my brightass living room is a non-issue.”
Having tried the current endgame monitors, the AW3425DW is the best they've had.
“It's hands down the best monitor I had and I tried all the current endgame monitors.”
ABL in Peak 1300 mode on their AW3426DW dims bright scenes like Crimson Desert daytime and nothing fixes it.

“i have the same monitor and i just decided to not even attempt anymore to turn on hdr, but sdr look really great”
After a week, their AW3926QW's poor uniformity and green tint drove them to return it.
“the brightness uniformity and the green tinge are killing my eyes while doing my work during the day”
After a Dell IPS, the AOC Q27G3XMN's contrast is night and day; some red tint and ghosting, but no noticeable input lag.
“Compared to the old Dell, the contrast is night and day.”
Moving from a 1440p IPS to the MO27Q28GR they noticed no text clarity regression; fine for coding.
“switched from 1440p 27" IPS with a regular RGB stripe to MO27Q28GR and didn't notice any text or overall clarity regression.”
Next to their matte LG 32GS95UE, the glossy XG32UCWMG looked barely different: slightly sharper text and more contrast.

After 2.5 years of heavy use their MSI 321URX has faint taskbar and bookmark burn-in, visible only on grey tests.
“There's burn in from literally just a few weeks of using the taskbar fully visible”
Great for gaming, but the Acer X34 X5 has text fringing, overpowering colour, low inputs, a stand that won't go low, weak speakers and a KVM that wouldn't switch.
“Overall, if you are trying to use this monitor for a nice, tidy home office setup then it's probably not the right monitor for you.”
Next to their new OLED, the AW2525HM secondary's backlight and colours look bad.
“My secondary monitor is an Alienware AW2525HM i didn’t know how bad the backlight and the colours are until i got the oled”
Limits their ASUS PG27AQDP to 240Hz because 480Hz pushes cable bandwidth and some games crash the monitor.
“I have the ROG PG27AQDP 480hz and yep, limited it to 240hz”
Returned the LG 45-inch 5K2K over its matte screen, then missed the immersion and bought it again.

Their ASUS XG27ACDNG plays fine with no issues.
“I have a XG27ACDNG, seems fine to play it no issues.”

Their PG32UCDM3 already has micro scratches after three days.
“I’ve had my pg32ucdm3 for three days I’ve got micro scratches already”
Their replacement XG27UCDMG caused eye discomfort despite tweaking settings, so they swapped to a WOLED.
“so i now have the XG27UCDMG. But this one is literally burning my eyes :(”
VRR flicker on their XG27AQDMG is terrible for them, so they turn it off in some games.
“Hmm i'm sensitive to any form of flicker and can say it's truly terrible on my XG27AQDMG.”
Finds their Gigabyte FO32U2P's True Black 400 HDR weak next to OLED TVs.
“My FO32U2P is a pathetic True Black 400”
Their AW3225QF arrived fast with a perfect screen, their best of five Alienware monitors.
“this has been my 5th Alienware monitor and the best experience yet”
Since getting the AW3425DW, replaying their games feels like playing them for the first time.
“been replaying all my games. Its like playing them for the first time again!”
Returned the LG 39GX950B for the AW3426DW to keep high frame rates on a 5080; both are beautiful.
“I returned the LG 39GX950B in favor of the AW3426DW, for what it’s worth.”
After a couple of years on the AW3423DW they never noticed fringing, but their eyes tire less on IPS.
“I spent a couple of years on AW3423DW, and while the fringing wasn't noticeable at all to me”
Uses their AW3423DWF with G-Sync without problems.
“I've been using a AW3423DWF with G-Sync with no issue.”

“While the resolution is the same AW2725DF has felt to be a great upgrade for me”
Bought the Samsung G81SF on a Black Friday deal; slight text fringing out of the box disappeared after tuning, even through 8-hour workdays in a text editor.
“bought 4k 27" (G81SF) and it was still slightly visible out-of-box, but after tuning text size, lowering green gain”
Two years of 12-hour work shifts plus gaming on their PG32UCDM with no burn-in.
“Had my Asus PG32UCDM for 2 years this December.”
Coming from an LG 27GR95QE, the MSI 341CQR X36 is very bright with no magenta tint, no text fringing and smooth 360Hz; the AI Care sensor sometimes blanks the screen.
“NO text fringing. RGB subpixel layout is the real deal.”
Their AOC AG276QZD2's HDR doesn't work, but SDR looks fantastic and they saw no VRR flicker.
“while its true that the HDR doesnt work, the SDR looks fantastic”

“I like the AOC, but have found it somewhat finicky.”
After four other monitors they settled on the MO27Q28GR and love it.
“I LOVE my MO27Q28GR.”
A few months with the XG27AQDMGR: brighter than most QD-OLEDs, accurate and not oversaturated; perfect for $500.
“I got myself an ASUS XG27AQDMGR WOLED a few months ago and I wouldn't change it for anything.”
The XG32UCWMG's deep blacks and vivid colour are out of this world.
“The blacks are so deep and the way the colours just pop on this screen are out of this world.”
Loved the LG 27GX700A's colours, design and matte coating, but banding persisted after 150 hours.
“I loved everything about that monitor... Except, it had banding.”
A driver contrast bump fixed their AW2725Q's washed-out image and they're happy now; only the factory calibration is poor.
“Out the box calibration is the only thing that sucks about it”
Likes their matte MO27Q28G in a well-lit room: very bright when needed, and no banding noticed in everyday gaming.
“I have matte woled Gigabyte MO27Q28G in a well lit room and i like it very much.”
A recent XG27AQWMG buyer says HDR is simply amazing in games after calibration, but SDR is still poor with unbalanced brightness despite ICC profiles and tweaks.
“HDR is simply amazing in games (you'd have to tweak almost each game separately in its HDR/Brightness settings unfortunately, there's no escaping that”
Their ASUS PG32UQX mini-LED beats their MSI 321URX for HDR impact, so they rarely use the OLED now.
“The HDR impact actually beats out my flagship MSI 321URX QD-OLED”
For $600 the Acer X34 X5's colours pop, though its KVM is limited and refresh pop-ups appear every four hours.
“Its not on the same OLED level as LG (I own a C4 and is better) but for 600, cant complain.”
Had the PG27AQDP before their XG27AQDPG, which has been more uniform over 2,500 hours.
“I had the PG27AQDP before this monitor and it definitely had not”

“the LG 45GX950A is just a good balance because of it’s resolution”
Their 65-inch QD Mini-LED TV looks brighter and better to them, even in HDR, than their ASUS XG27ACDNG.
“it looks to me alot Brighter and better than the Oled monitor which is Asus QD oled xg27acdng 360hz”
A year of about 80 hours a week of work and gaming on their PG27UCDM with no issues.
“have had it a year now and it gets probably 80h of use per week between work and play. No issues.”
Their LG 39GX950B lacked the colour punch of their MSI 341CQPX until heavy tweaking, and the matte finish may make them return it.
“Even after calibration (Spyder software and tool) it’s still missing the punch of my MSI 341 CQPX QD-OLED.”
Their PG32UCDM3 has no grey banding and much better blacks than earlier QD-OLEDs.
“Absolutely doesn’t have this issue and the blacks are so so so much better than previous qd oleds.”
Their year-old XG27UCDMG shows a line on wake that needs ever more pixel refreshes; ASUS RMA found no issue and they plan to switch to Dell.

Their XG27AQDMG developed retention within days, then burn-in that pixel cleans and firmware updates didn't fix.
“So i got this monitor and after a few days it started getting image retention”

“my panels get burn roughly 4-6 months in, even when I manually sleep the computer”
Received two AW3426DWs: the first had a nick and bad uniformity; they think quality control was cut for the price.
“I had 2 (accident shipment) and first had the nick (and bad uniformity)”
About four years with the AW3423DW and it is still perfect; burn-in is overblown with sensible care.
“I have my AW3423DW since it came out, like 4 years ago, and it is absolutely perfect still.”
Their AW3423DWF's flicker went away after turning FreeSync off, with no noticeable loss.
“took off AMD FreeSync Premium Pro in the adrenaline software and fixed it for me”
Coming from a Samsung G7, the AW2725DF had better blacks but little wow from 360Hz, so they returned it for the AW3225QF.

Their XG27AQDMGR is practically perfect.
“I nearly returned my practically perfect xg27aqdmgr”

Their ASUS XG27AQWMG has burn-in after 2,100 hours.
“After 2100 hours of my first OLED monitor it now has burn in”
Loves their two MSI 321URX for everything but text; fringing nearly made them sell, until 200% scaling and light themes helped.

“Mine also has burn in after 6 months of very heavy use.”
Moved from a Samsung G8 QD-OLED to the LG 45GX950A for 70% work and 30% gaming; once dialled in, HDR really pops and the space is great for productivity.

Their first OLED, the PG32UCDM3, leaves them very satisfied.
“i have almost same monitor (PG32UCDM3) and its my first oled. im so satisfied with this monitor.”
On a 5% grey test in a dark room their XG27UCDMG shows banding so faint they have to search for it; never an issue in games.
“Yeah ran this on my XG27UCDMG (QD-OLED) at 5%, dark room, 70% brightness, and it's so faint that I have to actually hone in on a region to notice anything.”
Returned their XG27AQDMG because anything on screen for a few seconds stayed there and the image looked washed out.

A bitmap font looks great on their Gigabyte FO32U2P; no bothersome fringing.
“On my Aorus fo32u2p, the 2x variant looks great.”

Three months out of warranty, their AW3423DWF suddenly shows horizontal lines and randomly goes black until power-cycled.
“lines on the right are very bad as you can see.”
Went from a Samsung G7 to the AW2725DF and returned it: great motion, but they disliked the look, saw enemies worse and had insane VRR flicker.
“Low response time and motion clarity were undeniable but in the end I just didn't like the look of it.”
Picky about text, they love how it looks on their Samsung G81SF 27-inch 4K OLED.
“I *love* how text looks on my 4k OLED, a Samsung Odyssey G81SF 27".”
Two-plus years at near max brightness on their PG32UCDM with no burn-in; the motion sensor and pixel shift help.
“Been using it for two plus years at practically max brightness.”
A year with the AOC AG276QZD2, fixed by two firmware updates, and great for €450.
“it's a bomb for 450 euros, I've had it for a year”
Their AW3926QW shows no noticeable uniformity problems and only off-axis colour shift; fairly happy after an LG G4.

Their AOC Q27G3XMN developed a column of dead pixels after five months.
“Mine just broke today lmao gonna try to RMA it, only had it 5 months.”
Their MO27Q28GR is fine in bright content, but dirty screen effect and banding distract in dark scenes.
“when I watch media that has darker scenes the dirty screen effect and banding are getting too distracting for me”

“2 weeks ago I realized taskbar is burned in”
Owns the MO27Q28G next to an LG C2 and thinks matte-coating concerns are overblown.
“I have a Gigabyte MO27Q28G and lg 42" c2 on my table and imo this is way overblown.”
On their third XG27AQWMG panel after two RMAs (degradation, a dead proximity sensor), it has no vertical banding but a very pronounced dirty-screen texture.
“But it has a very pronounced dirty image texture/jeans te”
Sold their MSI 321URX after two months because SDR and HDR brightness were too low for work; fine for gaming.
“MSI MPG 321URX for about 2 months and finally I sell it not to text clarity but to insane brightness both in SDR and HDR is too low for my work.”
Their refurbished $500 Acer X34 X5 arrived with large screen blemishes.
“I got the monitor and found these large blemishes on the bottom right of the screen.”

The PG27UCDM's proximity sensor turns the screen off when they leave and back on when they return.
“The Pg27ucdm neo proximity sensor is dope.”
Upgrading from an AW3423DW, the LG 39GX950B-B is truly amazing for gaming.
“It’s truly amazing and the difference from my QD-Oled AW3423DW is crazy impressive.”
Three years of 32-inch OLEDs: MSI MPG 321URX, then PG32UCDM, then PG32UCDM3, with no burn-in or other issues.
“And rhis year, again in march the new PG32UCDM3”

“my XG27AQDMG only does it if I don’t turn it on for more than 2 consecutive weeks then come back to it.”
Their second-hand AW3225QF's power supply blew with a loud pop.
“Good news - only the power supply went to hell”

“Aw3426dw rocks I've been enjoying it for a year now.”
Owned the AW3423DW from 2023; playing 16:9 games and PS5 with black bars caused burn-in.
“playing in 16:9 on some not supported titles and ps5 caused burn in on my monitor.”
Has had the first-gen AW3423DWF since release; after a week or two adjusting, they can play 10+ hours with no eye strain.
“its sooooo fkin good i can play for 10h+ with no issues afterwards”
Their AW2725DF gives 360Hz but its colours don't match the AW3423DW they used to own.

Their new MO27Q28GR has basically no banding.
“my MO27Q28GR just came in today and has basically no banding whatsoever.”
HDR on their XG27AQDMGR has true blacks and crazy peak brightness.
“black is true black and peak brightness its crazy”
Next to a PG32UCDMR, the XG32UCWMG has deep glossy blacks, minimal fringing and a great stand, but some banding and an awkward firmware update.
“Very minimal text fringing, easy on the eyes.”
Returned the AW2725Q because its fan buzzed constantly, though build quality was great.
“I unfortunately had to return the AW2725Q because the fan in it kept kicking on and it was a terrible low-pitching buzz that would never shut off.”
2,165 hours of work and gaming on their MO27Q28G with no burn-in yet.

“I have a asus rog xg27ucdmg 4K oled. And tbh i dont really have headaches or eye strain from it.”
Returned their XG27AQDMG over awful banding and posterisation in dark scenes.
“I started with a XG27AQDMG WOLED, got awful color banding and posterization in dark scenes.”
Calls the AW3225QF a great display; its 240Hz is noticeable but not a reason alone to upgrade.
“Having the AW3225QF, I can say that the 240hz refresh is noticeable but not worth buying a new display”
Dell replaced their burned-in AW3423DW with an AW3425DW, which is fanless and silent with stunning, vibrant HDR.

Two years with the AW3423DWF; text fringing was so bad they saw it even in games.
“I had a 3423DWF for a couple years, the fringing was so bad I could even see it in games.”
Next to their AW2721D the AW2725DF looks a bit yellow in HDR, but its QD-OLED and 360Hz are perfect for FPS.
“Both are amazing monitors, but the AW2725DF qd oled technology and 360hz is perfect for FPS games.”
A few years with two PG32UCDMs and no burn-in.
“I have two pg32ucdm from Asus and when not in use I leave them off.”
Their new AOC AG276QZD2 exceeds expectations in build and picture; text fringing is mild even after a 4K IPS.
“It exceeds my expectations, both in build quality and picture quality.”
Returned the AW3926QW as its panel quality wasn't good enough for the price.
“I had the same exact model and I returned it recently. I don’t really like the panel quality with that price tag.”

Coming from IPS, their new XG27AQDMGR is insane.
“Got my Rog XG27AQDMGR today, insane coming from an IPS to this!”
Returned the XG32UCWMG because its flickering ABL was a deal breaker.
“After returning the Asus XG32UCWMG (the flickering ABL was a deal breaker)”
The AW2725Q is the best monitor they've used: great contrast and vibrancy.
“My OLED is best monitor ive ever used and apparently its not one of the better ones out there.”
1,958 hours on their MO27Q28G with the taskbar always visible: no burn-in or artefacts.
“1958 hours, no burn-in, no artifacts, everything just nice.”
The glossy XG27AQWMG looks great but gives them bad eye strain, unlike their matte Gigabyte MO27Q28G.
“I wanted to try a glossy so I got the ASUS XG27AQWMG which looks great.”
Two months with the MSI 321URX has been a premium experience; games look beautiful and the 27/24-inch modes help in shooters.
“Two months ago I purchased my first OLED display the MSI mpg 321URX 32” 240hz QD-OLED coming from for 27” Inzone m9 monitor and it’s been a premium experience.”

Upgraded from an AW3423DW to the PG32UCDM3: better pixel density and graphics, and even DLSS Performance looks better.
“I had aw3423dw and upgraded to 4th gen QD-OLED PG32UCDM3. Pixel density is better. Graphics is better.”
Compared the ASUS XG27UCDMG with a TN and a KTC Mini-LED: the OLED is best, especially at an angle and at night.

Upgrading from a 1440p 144Hz IPS, the XG27AQDMG's image quality blew them away.
“I ended up getting the rog strix xg27aqdmg 240hz WOLED and WoW😍 blown away by the image quality.”
Two weeks with the AW3225QF after an IPS ultrawide: sharp, crisp detail, less eye strain and a glossy look; they rate it 11/10.
“The glossy panel makes it feel like I’m looking into a window.”
Their AW3425DW looks top-tier but has caused eye strain, headaches and nausea since day one despite every setting tried.
“Visually, the monitor is amazing—the colors, contrast, and refresh rates are top-tier.”
Dell replaced their AW3423DW easily under warranty for the fan issue.
“I had my AW3423DW replaced for the fan issue and it was easy.”
Two years with the AW3423DWF after a 27-inch: top OLED and HDR, and the ultrawide immersion makes story games feel like movies.
“The OLED and HDR on AW3423DWF alone is top of the line; but what really impresses me is the ultrawide immersion.”
Sold their AW3423DWF for the AW2725DF and it feels like a downgrade: they miss the ultrawide and 360Hz is a subtle gain.
“360hz vs 165hz on CS2 is subtle. not a dealbreaker.”
The PG32UCDM's matte sheen on white areas pushed them to a glossy XG32UCWMG.
“I bought a Pg32ucdm to replace my IPS then tried a Xg32ucwmg because the matte "sheen" felt more pronounced on white areas.”
Loves their AOC AG276QZD2 after IPS, using SDR mostly.
“I love it coming from ips though”

“I thought it was great and I thought I will not see anything in game but here is the truth.”
The XG32UCWMG beats their LG 5K2K and PG27UCDM on text clarity.
“The xg blows both of them away with text clarity.”
The AW2725Q had no wow factor and was too small and poor for work at their viewing distance.
“Tried AW2725Q, 4K, QD-OLED. No wow factor, horrible for work.”
About 800 hours on their MO27Q28G with zero burn-in and only faint banding in near-black tests.
“Around 800 hours of usage Zero burn-in”
Their XG27AQWMG has noticeable gray uniformity issues on bright pages, but not in games.
“I have one myself, and gray uniformity is definitely an issue.”
Hasn't hit any common OLED issues on their MSI 321URX.
“i haven’t encountered any of the issues you mentioned with my mpg321urx”
After their first time with an ultrawide, the LG 45GX950A-B, they don't think they can go back.
“First time running an Ultrawide monitor, I don’t think I’ll be able to ever go back.”
Their PG27UCDM used with a PS5 has no burn-in.
“I also have the pg27ucdm for my ps5 and no burnin.”
First day with the LG 39GX950B on a 5090: full DP 2.1 confirmed; AI upscaling does nothing but AI scene optimisation is kind of nice.
“AI upscaling does nothing. AI scene optimization is actually kinda nice”
Loves their AW3225QF, but the PG32UCDM3 has better quality: brighter newer panel, BlackShield film and DisplayPort 2.1.
“Definitely better quality in the pg32ucdm3 tho, its a newer gen panel that gets brighter and has blackshield film”
Got the ASUS XG27UCDMG for $500 instead of $1,000.
“I also think I won the lottery with my XG27UCDMG for 500$ instead of 1000”
Moved from a 27-inch IPS to the XG27AQDMG and recommends the upgrade.
“just got the rog strix XG27AQDMG , 1440p 240hz oled , and now use the old ips for a second monitor , you won’t regret the upgrade”
Their AW3225QF arrived scratched all over; their old LG C2 looks far better.
“Looks like someone was installing the glass with sand paper, the whole thing is scratched.”
Their AW3425DW has game and browser UI burn-in after five months despite daily pixel refreshes.
“Just noticed yesterday the microbar from WoW and toolbar from firefox is burned in.”
Has used the AW3423DW for work and gaming almost daily since November 2022, about 8,000 real hours, with burn-in precautions on Linux.
“This is my AW3423DW than I bought in November 2022 and I've used for work + gaming almost every day since”

Their AW2725DF looks way off with the 2.2 gamma setting.
“Yeah, I have my AW2725DF on 2.2 gamma and it looks way off.”

“There’s some loss of details and clipping in the QD-OLED 400TB mode.”
Likes their glossy AOC AG276QZD2 with vibrant SDR colour, but HDR is washed out even after calibration.
“I really like this QD OLED MONITOR. Glossy is so nice, and I don't want to replace it.”
Keeping the AW3926QW: about 95–98% uniform to their eye and fantastic for gaming alongside mostly office work.
“TLDR Verdict: I will be keeping it, gaming looks really fantastic”
Bought the AOC Q27G3XMN for HDR, but PS5 HDR washes colours out and locks the settings.
“when I toggle on HDR on my PS5, colors get immediately washed out”
